Why is a premium - which is 100% going to be top tier for her nation - being sold when Gaijin has stated word for word ‘we will not sell top tier premiums’?
Or are you gonna slap her down at 8.0 and claim ‘lol not top tier’?

Well. I think all of that is pure speculation until we see the way the ship’s implemented into the game. So far, we don’t know if it actually has better reload and such.
As for switching with the Clem, I agree but… a premium Clem would have been a top tier premium as well. It has a better secondary coverage compared to the others, it’s just another flavor of Richelieu toptierness, pardon my French.
Not that it matters anyway. In my opinion, Gaijin abandonned that whole “not selling top tier” thing the day they sold the KA50 and destroyed the entire helicopter game mode in the process.
It has been already answered in this thread. Current max bluewater BR is 8.7 so Jean Bart isn’t that.
Current top tier France is 8.3. By this fact, Jean Bart is top tier.
However, I will drop the subject since forum rules demand it.
What about PlayStation? We can’t pre order to get the exclusive content…
The approach of giving certain nations top tier premiums and them being fine based solely upon technicalities is starting to become apparent. Vehicles like the Clickbait for example are barely any weaker than the 12.7 Abrams, but is not top tier just because its 12.0 instead. It could very easily be 12.7. Probably should be.
Likewise the Jean Bart falls into the same boat (pun intended) it could very easily be a 8.7 battleship. probably would be if not for the OP nature of paper ships like Soyuz.
The devs as a whole need to really work on refining their definition of top tier to mean something other than “maximum BR only” because the truth is, you have several top tier vehicles as premiums already and they are ruining the game systematically
otherwise next we’ll have a Rafale with only 6x MICA EM at 14.3, or another Su-30 premium that is again only marginally weaker than the Su-30SM2 at 14.3 and it being “fine” because its not actually at 14.7

She could not be when South Dakota stands at 8.3
I’ve been wondering this ever since I heard this ship was coming out: why did they make the Jambal a Premium class? Shouldn’t that be the Clemenceau?
We get a lovely little two week grace period post update for those wanting bonuses, been like that iirc since either 2013 or was it a later addition in 2015? (I can’t remember).
You will get the bonuses if you purchase the pack in the first 2 weeks from its release on PlayStation Store, as always.
