Eh, I wouldn’t want to uptier the firefly to 5.3, a 4.7 Challenger sans APDS would be nice though

Will get the US pack, thinking about getting the USSR pack, passing on the British pack.
Yay! More premiums, thank god it’s not bug reports being fixed.

ooo the Russian stuff looks pretty enticing, pretty cool to see a prem Easy 8 but the US pack isn’t all that appealing, but can we talk about the British pack being themed around D-Day and featuring a tank made as a very late war development?

Love the packs idea in general, as i hope it stops people from onespawning… BUT… why the bloody hell have the vehicles the worst Reward Modifier i have ever seen? They have the Lowerst modifier of any Rank III ingame… if i remember correct the Hellcat of this pack has 315%… thats the bloody same amount that a ton of Techtree Tanks have… and why the bloody hell do you make the t34-85 have more armor then any other t34-85, making it now the most armored T34-85?

The British pack is severely screwed. It’s all-round lower BR than every other triple pack, including the existing German Triple pack. Canada is familial nation of Britain, nothing to do with the USA, they were a dominion of Britain when they made the Skink and only the Commonwealth Forces (Which fought with Britain) used it. Not only are you giving one to America on the tech tree but they get the only premium one?
Meanwhile Britain gets…a 3.7BR Crusader AA…Wow…
The British pack is terribly balanced for the equivalent price. It should have been Skink + Comet + Challenger, which are all 5.3BR, giving it relative parity to the other bundles.

I hope gaijin consider adding a different pack for the UK themed on South Africa in the near future too, like a Ratel pack which would be more akin to the others BR/value wise, like having a Ratel pack or something,
Ratel 90, Ratel 20 and a Ratel with twin 23mm guns, or add the G6 with it which many use as a SPAA anyway (with a potential BR drop, things arguably a tad over BR compared to other SPG in the game).

The Soviets already have a pretty solid 5.7 line-up (KV-122, T-34-85, T-35-85E, T-35-85 Partisan). The IS-1 is kind of crap compared to the regular T-34-85s. IMHO, it feels a bit overkill with an extra IS-1 and T-34-85 for an already stacked line-up. The AA Hanomag is the only unique thing in the pack because the Soviet’s don’t have any good AA vehicles in between 4.0 → 6.0.
The US pack will sell like hotcakes because the M18 is one of the most played vehicles. You can get a triple M18 line-up now.
I wouldn’t buy the British pack because I don’t want to suffer with solid shot woes.
Overall I feel like the packs could have been better. We need more 3.7-5.7 WW2 vehicles and I’d love to see things like the KV-13, KV-3/4/5, Object 222, T-100, etc added to the Soviet tree.

IIRC the premium one gets extra armor on LFP in form of track armor so it is technically better than the TT IS-1.
Not saying its good, its just kinda funny.
An extra 20mm of armor (if its that thick) isn’t going to stop any guns you face at that BR unless you get in a downtier. The main issue with the IS-1 is its sluggish w/ bad turret traverse. KV-85 is basically the same tank with worse hull armor, but its at 5.0.

I like the idea behind these but 5.x BRs are ROUGH
Spoiler
4-5 br would have been a better choice for new players, and it would also solve some of the crisis 5.x has in having the worst MM in ground. Also not a fan of things like having a light tank be your highest br vic in the pack, lights tds and spaa are fine to bring up in br, but heavies and mediums suffer a lot more.
Probably also should toss a plane in these so its an actual complete package deal, but maybe im being too greedy ))).
Better worth to buy T-72AV, M1A1 click bait and Challenger DS…
UK pack:
Crussader AA MK II
the worst UK SPAA… fast but paper able to carry AP-T and HE belts but each magazine contain only 60 rounds while reloading speed is too hight as an SPAA.
Moreover not exist only HEF-I belt just HEFI-T which allow planes to locate it thanks to tracert rounds.
Spoiler
Sherman VC:
good mobility and good firepower but got a huge reload speed nerf thanks to first order mechanism. Only 5 round(located in turrent basket and the remaining ammo not easy to reach by loader from unknow reason) and the loader not restore it fast. However his solid shots have a huge penetration power but most time need 2-4 shot / tanks if enemy not show his weakpoints where able to kill them with one shot. So if you not able to use it it will painfull.
Spoiler
Avenger:
fast , good mobilty but bad backwards speed good flanker but only able to carry solid shot AP…

USSR: again not worth it instead of this pack buy T-34/100 and T-44-122
T-34-85
the 3rd premium T-34/85 copy paste…(T-34/85E,T-34/85 partisan)
IS-1
The worst Soviet heavy tank. bad mobilty and front armor, low reload speed and gun depression useless in most of the maps.
Hanomag
copy paste of Sd.Kfz 251/21… instead of this better prefered something soviet made vehicle tank the GERMAN ‘wonder waffe’… the better option is the MTLB / BTR-ZD/ BTR-40 with ZSU-23-2/ZPU-2/ZPU-4 or URAL truck with 57mm S-68 for 5.3 BR…
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
USA pack:
M4A3E8 (76) W Sherman
Subvariant of M4A3(76)W. If i where u i will insert M4A3E8 (76) W above M4A3(76)W in tech tree and add to pack the M4A3E8 (76) W ‘Fury’ which suggested as a tropy vehicle…
M18 Hellcat
No thanks… the 4th M18 premium hellcat(M18 Black cat/Super Hellcat/T86 (event vehicle))
Skink
Basic low BR SPAA but farm this tank instead of buy it. If you want to boost the research i recommend T20 seal cubber premium tank that woth it much more better than this pack.
You’re ignoring the soft stat that makes it the best, turret traverse speed, @ 70 degrees a second, it’s almost double the AEC and Crusader Mk.1 (40 degrees a second), and 10 more than the SA spaag and Skink ( @ 60 degrees a second)
The ‘russian’ Hanomag is rank III, which is a big thing. The german one is rank II, you all know what this means. Its just not fair. Don’t even talk about the MG151 armed Hanomag isn’t in Ger TT. Thats pretty unprecedented that a vehicle appears as captured premium before it ever gets added to its home country.

What honestly makes that one worse imo is that it’s one of only two Swedish heavies, whereas the Hanomag is in a role Russia already has a lot of
Hopefully we get the original in the German TT
