Huh? The Vijayanta is nowhere near that old of a prem compared to everything else.

Guessing the sales for it suck, since it is a bad tank chassis in general to use, after all.

Lightning F53 disappeared after less than a year but the Harrier Gr1 is somehow still going.

Age is definetly not a factor

So this kinda sucks. You could at least tell us why, other than FOMO-exploitation

But why?

Vickers on 7.7 was pretty good, until it got increased BR and this came up but with HEAT-FS which is useless. No wonders no one buying it

The holder of the shortest living premium was probably the T129 ATAK, introduced in drone age(su25) and removed from sale in december that year(apex pred - f16 and stuff). For GE premium the vijanyanta is probably the shortest living to date.
Arguably they will never be overtaken.

Hmm, I wonder why the attacker fb2 is being removed. Is it the absolutely appalling matchmaker that puts you against sabres and migs? So you have to play it perfect and they need to make many mistakes for you to win. Rarely do you get to bully weaker opponents in it.

The Mk.3 was at the same BR with better reverse, mobility and LRF.
Plus, grinding with tier 5 premiums is a rare sight nowadays, besides very few like PT-76-57(which was moved to rank 5) or somua SM(same as PT). Edit: vidar duh, but thats still only 2 packs and an event tank

And at release it had better APDS (better angled penetration)

I did this with Strv 103, but only from IV rank :c

Sweden and previously China are the few trees where people grind with tier 5 prems effectively, instead of starting scratch because the tree is short/low tier is fun and easy to play, or getting straight to tier 6/7 for a prem vehicle that can be played for much longer with a slightly higher price.

In the future this tank return to great britain or move to independent india tech tree instead ?

Gaijin plan add another domestic USA aircraft premium GE replace F-89D someday ?

Can we get an explanation why?

Also removing a Revenue Share vehicle (the He 219) and removing a player-creator’s revenue kinda sucks. (link)

And putting on the second F-89 half price while keeping the first one at full price, the one you need to buy first to take advantage of the sale, just seems really cheap.

Get the A6M2 second match 5 kills was worth it…

I hope you remember that there is a Single Mission that requires to have this plane to unlock it. This Single Mission will be unavailable for all new players and players who didn’t buy this plane.

I know you don’t care about Single Missions (some of them are pretty much impossible to complete because of the game changes implemented in recent years), but it sounds like a terrible idea to have a Single Mission that is impossible to even start, because the required vehicle is no longer available for purchase.

Why are you planning to remove this aircraft when it is required to unlock the “They Shall Not Pass” single mission of the Battle of Moscow?

Note that I already have unlocked this mission using the I-16 type 28.

Do you have any replacement planned to use and unlock this single mission for these new players??

Only the authors of skins for Market Trophies get the revenue share, the makers of vehicle models get the fixed fee instead, as outlined in Einbringungsvertrag Mit Gaijin.

Hopefully the F-89D will get replaced with a realistic version that:
-Shot guns out FFAR’s (not ripple fire and not supper accurate as they are now).
-No proxy fuzes on the warheads.
-Some lead computing or other targeting computing like it actually has.

For anyone wondering, theyre removing them so they can give them an artificial rarity when they bring them back as an anniversary sale for something amd have them on at an inflated price for about a week at a time. They do this alreasy woth plenty of vehicles.

Still a scummy business practice tho.

Plus the HE219 is a content creator vehicle, dont think it should be removed from sale. And the F89D needs to F89B unlocked first, but the B model isnt on sale so you’re still biying that at full price.
