Yes, but since the BR changes are coming up, you may want to consider getting the T58 since it has 2.6 second reload. It’s up to you however.

Sure, the next sale is coming up in about 1 week (last week of April and/or first week of May. There are 2 phases, one is store packs, the other will be in game discounts.)
Don’t concern yourself too much about BR changes, especially BR changes of 1 step up or down. This happens all the time, it will keep happening forever. Eventually the max BR of ground vehicles will go up again, then some decompression will happen, and it will effectively “go down” in BR. Things go up, things go down. Just play what you enjoy, and keep playing matches 👍
It’s a great tank, it still does require some skill though since you have paper armour
May sale for packs ends after the 11th right?
List of past sales:

Second phase is store packs: [Shop] May Sale in the Gaijin Store! - News - War Thunder
These were the dates last year, as always they can vary, but the store packs are always the second phase. You can check all the of the previous year’s exact dates if you want on the reddit thread above.

As a new sale is coming il try to save someone some pennies and pain.
Good: 30mm cannon. Some say 3 axis stab which gives no real.benefit over normal stab. So just 30mm cannon.
I wouldnt play it if it was free. One of the most over hyped thing iv ever seen in gaming
Who cried that this tank was OP? I guess light tanks as it cant kill anything else with any reliability
Rounds- bugged and even when they dont ghost they are still straight up duds.
Armour- no. And its not a case of no armour is best armour. It gets deleated by low calibre spray and i mean poof the second the first round hits… Shells the same- bouncing anything at any calibre is a near impossibility
Do not buy this tin can at any price unless you are pro and shoot most enemies in the side… its a over BRd light tank without scouting
Against non-autocannon solid shot rounds
No armour best armour does work actually
Anyone worth their salt
It has:
Insane mobility
Insane firepower (good apds shell with 5s reload and aphe coax 30mm)
Stabilizer
Rangefinder
Ridiculous gun depression

I cant take anyone serious that says that shell is good. Its notoriously bad.
Insane mobility- not for the light tank that it really is
Stab good- but doesnt offer any real benefit over 2 axis. Reload good is fair but no LRF / thermals and the worst shell around the BR.
Watch dolla or others - we been here before. “Sometimes maybe good. Sometimes maybe shit” is not a good shell - inconsistant = maddening to say the least
Which shell around that BR is not inconsistent? They are almost all early apfsds with bad angle pen or apds with even worse angle pen and high probability to shatter.
Except for maybe the french OFL105 shells that are fairly reliable but the tanks come with a whole lot of other downsides. On both the amx-30s and the Kürassier/JaPz. K A2
To call the TURM3s shells the worst around that br is kinda wild, have you ever touched the rooikat mk1? At least with the turm you have the option to switch to the higher penning heat in 5 seconds if needed, basically no other mbt around that BR has that option

The shells sometimes just dissapear/ Do literally no damage or if they actually decide they are working still very weak damage.
M60 8.3 looks similar - but none of these problems. I actually like m60.
Turms is a stinker. Never played it at 8.3 and maybe before the 3 axis stab the shells were better?
? Firstly, the m60 is at 8.0 and is a entirely different tank? Its sluggish af, doesnt have a stabilizer and a 6.7 sec reload on an aced crew. Not a 5.0 sec reload for a crew that is put on a tank the first time.
The only similar thing is the shell selection.
Which of the shells? Pls dont tell me its the HEAT-FS. There seems to be a general problem atm with ghost shells, which afaik seem to appear more regularly lately. What causes this is a whole different question, whether its the servers, or whatever, but i can guarantee you it has nothing to do with the TURM3 as a vehicle specifically.
Its a known bug with its solid shot that happened after its stab update.
M60 at 8.3 has stab and good enough rounds. I can get over slow, just not dud rounds and going poof from 7.62
Fr a 50 cal can pin it from the front
