4 20mm and not an open top is hardly a bad SPAA, unless you are judging it based on it being a tank destroyer.
Whirblwind is a better spaa at 3.7 than anything germany gets till the gepard or closed top thing at 7.0 which has no lineup anymore, and gaijin decided the coelian was less fake than the ostwind 2 so we lost our closed top option. People stop using it at higher brs because things like the 30mm quad thing at 6.0 shreds tanks and is good enough for spaa duty.
Same for things like the zsu 23 at 6.0 being tossed in favor of the one at 6.3 because its a better TD but much worse spaa for russia.
Being mostly immune to strafing from guns is a pretty big deal for fighting actual planes.
What @Beeschurger said ☝️ I saw another poster on another thread confirm that console players DO GET the preorder bonuses if they order right after they are listed for purchase for console players. You have 2 weeks, confirmed by Mod post linked below. But, if you really want the title and decals, I would suggest just buying what you want the moment/day they are listed for console players 👍
EDIT: Found the other posts! Info below:
My other post, but Mod post/info below is all that matters.
I was planning to buy the UK pack to pair it with my Churchil Crocodile but after todays hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit I will probably pass.
Maybe if you fix the bugs with Crocodile I consider it.
Please, where was the IS-1 in 1945? In WT, IS-1 even came to May 45, and it wore a decent disguise! I’m disappointed, whether out of respect for history or a compromise on gameplay, it’s much better to change to the SU-100 than the IS-1!
They still had KV-2’s in service at Kursk, and BT-7 in the far east in 1945, T-40 in Leningrad until 1943, etc… so I see no problem having some of the few IS-1’s still in service in mid 1945 - apparently about 200 were made before production shifted to IS-2 in January 1944, and it’s much more maintainable than the KV-2!!
