The Chieftain 900 being the same battle rather as the Khalid is just ridiculous. The reason I believe this is just insane is the Chieftain 900 isn’t a side grade but rather a straight down grade and quite the big one. Comparing them to one another we can see that the Chieftain 900 has a hp/t of 16.3 which is a bit below average for 9.3 but the Khalid has a 22.3 hp/t which is very nice to have and a BIG upgrade compared to the 900. Honestly that isn’t even the biggest upgrade that belongs to the CHONKY upgrade on transmission not on forward gear but rather the reverse gear going from a poor 12 kph to a amazing 37 kph. The uptier from 9.0 to 9.3 was a change no one agreed on especially people who played them. the reason im complaining is I really wanted to play these tanks but now at 9.3 its not worth my time. Also I am quite sure that at 9.0 the Object 279 had better stats and facing a 279 with measly apds at 8.0 is one of the worst experiences you can have. On the other side of the coin you see a chieftain you shoot the hull and easy frag. The amour is outclassed (maybe not on the mk.10), the reload is outclassed, the mobility is outclassed, the fire power is mid. Watch gaijin read this and think “oh wow the Khalid should go up”. TLDR a example of a P2W premium.
