I’m assuming it is, since it’s one of the best event/battlepass vehicles they’ve ever done.

Not to mention it used to be 7.7

It’s got a great gun, but again no survivability. I’m more sad that I never got the obj.279 or the PT16

What about the mutant? That thing is an actual monster
Anyways
Back on to topic, any reasonable additions to add to the list?

Id love the mutant as well! Thing looks potent af.
Add on the list courtesy of me, ru251 to 7.7
On-topic Chatter:
Ru251 is an easy one to suggest as you’re probably already taking it at 7.7 with that stacked line-up, lol. With the role it plays, doesn’t matter it goes up to 7.7 at all. Even without Maus, you wouldn’t miss the opportunity to pair it with the PzH 2000. I don’t think there would be any complaints there.
Off-topic Chatter:
All part of the fun of a light tank. You always want to be that lil sneaky rat in it, obviously. Love using her on urban maps where you can hide in nooks and destroy enemies as they come around corners, etc. Generally, you want to be using her in ambush situations. She’s not the fast flanker type.
(Just clipped examples from a couple games I played earlier. Ground out the event stage with her)
Mutant is lovely, but USA is so stacked around there. It’s more a interesting - quirky - oddball tank that is fun to have rather than adding massively to the line-up (unless you’re me and build the line-up around it). I preordered her back in 2011 for WoT (retail preorder pack), so there was no way I was going to miss her in WT. She is all about the gun, though. That armour will not save you and you can’t angle it.
Sad I missed this one and IS-7
PT16 > Is-7 heat makes its armor worthless, same with APFSDS, as the Is-7 is 8.7, and only fires APHE, a great APHE tho
the talkin about the Ru251 made me go put an expert crew in it btw and it slaps right good at 7.3
Not sure why you’re comparing a 10.3 MBT to a 8.3 heavy, lol. Both face different battles - different enemies. 279 only fires APHE at 9.0, btw. One of the things I love about it. The 14.5mm both IS-7/279 get has also been very kind to me in the past. Biggest thing I would not enjoy about IS-7 is not facing HEAT-slingers, but the fact it doesn’t have a stab.

Chieftain Mk 3 8.7 → 8.3
It has good gun and decent armor but the mobility is just so horrific. How’s it’s one step below the Mk 10 is beyond me.
AMX-32 (105) 9.3 → 9.0 (remove thermals)
The AMX-32 120 is the same BR but simply better with a better gun, same reload, better engine, and a bit better armor. Compared to other 9.3 tanks it’s just bad.
Merkava Mk 2D 9.7 → 9.3
It’s pretty much the same as the 2B but with some composite triangles on the sides of the turret that don’t do anything. That or keep it at 9.7 and give it M426.
Merkava Mk.3 (all)
Lower reload to 5 seconds to bring in line with the M1A1 at the same BR which is simply better than the Merkava Mk.3
AMX-30 ACRA 8.3 → 8.0
It’s the same BR as the M60A2 but it lacks a HEAT shell and has no stabilizer. I get the ATGM is stronger but it doesn’t make up for the lack of stabilizer.
Type 16 (FPS) 9.3 → 9.7
Giving it DM23 was the wrong move. Instead of fixing its primary round, M735, a buff like they promised they would well over a year ago, they gave it a shell it didn’t need. It doesn’t need to go to 9.7 but it definitely doesn’t need DM23.
M60A3 TTS (China) 9.0 → 8.7
It’s identical to the American one except it has no ERA and only has M735 and no M774 for some reason. Give it M774 or move it down.

No complains there. I know I’d rather use Vickers Mk.3 at 8.3. Armour is decent but only if you can hide its numerous frontal weakspots, otherwise even lil pewpew guns are nuking them frontally (whoop, fixed link). However, with the lack of mobility you will often be caught out in situations where your weakspots are there for the taking, making its armour redundant. Depression is pretty good for sniping while hiding the hull, but then again you can’t get past that rubbish mobility.
I don’t think it would be unbalanced at 9.0 if it kept its thermals. Still has the lack of mobility, armour, mediocre gun, etc.
Yup. There has been absolutely no point using this thing since they added more Chinese domestic vehicles at the same BR. It offers nothing of real value at 9.0.

I wasn’t lol.
I was just saying in terms of true value.
A subjective statement. True value of an event vehicle is more than how meta the vehicle is. You wouldn’t see me trade the KT 10.5 for the PT-16, for example. But good to know you like Germany at that BR.
I don’t have either tank tbh.
What I’m more curious about, is whom is making false accounts to vote for Russia in the poll lol. Because there is no way people think Russia is that good, unless they don’t know how to kill anything in the game period.

RuSsIaN bIaS is more than just a meme, some people seem to believe it, still. Even after all the help other nations have gotten, lol. Even at top-tier, they will conveniently not mention any advantages of the Leopard 2s, while hyper-fixating on CAS and SPAA. It’s a tale as old as time itself.

Its fine at 8.7, 7.3 tanks have no right seeing the mk3 cheiftain at all.
The round is phenomenally good for the br even out doing most of the early darts in perfromance.
The 42kmph mobility isnt bad at all, dont get me wrong it is not good.
But its a great tank for picking a position hammering them from it then rolling up and repeating.
As far as this goes it could possibly be 9.0 even with thermals.
If the brenus or 30b2 had a stab id 100 percent take them.over thr 32 105 due to the extremely sluggish perfromance of the 32 105.
Wait the mk2D premium for isreal? It gets the m426 now does it no?? Or is that slinging m111?
Ive not got the MK2D so im genuinely asking.
Finally someone said it!
The amx30 acra is more mobile than the starship however what can any 7.0 do against that atgm?
Genuinely asking for balance could gaijin give it a stab and keep it 8.3 ? Cause it sucks there without it.
Just cant agree that thing going to 8.3 man, it would absolutely rofl stomp the entire 7.3 roster.
It already does stomp extremely well at its br and down tiers…
The mobility isnt good no, but its not exactly like maus it still goes 40 kmph on most terrains.
It uses M416 last time I checked (DM33 equivalent)
