Spending money on something wont mean it wont be affected by BR changes, such was the case with the J35XS.
You pay for the vehicle itself you don’t pay for the guarantee that it will be op or good, Premiums are optional after all-

Deal with it. Just because you paid real money does not entitle you to an overpowered vehicle. It has been far too good for too long.

Strictly better chieftan mk3 doesn’t deserve to sit at the same br as the chieftan mk3.
Its one of the fastest T55s with enough armor to stop 320 and 400 pen HEAT rounds in areas. It has barrel mounted ATGMs that load faster than almost any other vehicle for literally no reason. Look at the AMX30 ACRA at 8.3 with no stab and 15.6 base reload.
So yeah, it deserves 9.0. It was THE best 8.3 for ages. Then everything got moved up and it was STILL the best 8.7. Now at 9.0 its average.

Not a comparable tank, Chieftain has a far different playstyle. :)
The Obj 435 is 9.0… that’s a real joke.

if i will not wait some advantages of the premiums against free ones WHY should i buy it than for that high prices !! and for sure on 9.0 it has no… 1 tank coast much more than many other full games…
The only reason is so that you can progress the game faster, due to built in increased RP and SL rewards- Its much cheaper than buying your way through the TT with converting RP, But on the other hand. You do put a willing risk into the fact that all vehicles are subject to change. It really sucks but hey, that is often a good risk if you choose good vehicles to buy

Yea thats why I have plyed mine only at 9.3 ever since I got it. Much better there.
Like that thing was so under BRed at release the PUMA was calling it to reign it in a bit.
What utter crap. The only reason you could claim that is because The T55 is so much faster it can perform all the roles the Chieftan can and more.

If you are buying a premium expecting to have an advantage over your competition, you want P2W not a fair game. That has no place here.
What’s funny is I get thermals, an actual APFSDS round, and speed at 8.7 France, but 9.0 Soviet players are stuck with APDS-FS on a slower but stabilized chassis.
Deeply hilarious.
I support French 8.7 staying 8.7 BTW.

I know the T-55 is better. Im just saying that they aren’t comparable tanks. And no, the T-55AM cannot do what the Chieftain’s designed for - hull-down combat.
Thats because stabs are pretty darn important considering 1/2 the maps you play are cities. You also don’t have enough armor frontally to stop 35mm apds. I have plenty of games in the amx30s, they are perfectly fine at 8.7.

The MK10 can hull down. The mk 1 and 3 have effectively no armor in the right side of their turret making your breach swiss cheese every time you try to peak. Its relegated to a sniping role because its so slow it struggles to do much else vs far more mobile competition. In a long range fight the ATGM is just about as much of an advantage as 1/2 your turret being armored. Not only that, the chieftan’s round is terrible at sniping. You can kill light and medium vehicles, but anything armored and you are at a huge disadvantage. Even the AM-1 has relatively good armor vs your round.

Pal what are you smoking. Its fine, if you get a full uptier tank out the t62m or the bmp3, youll mostly get 9.3 games though because the 10.3 premuim br sucks up 9.3. And theres quick a few premuims at 9.3 too. so they suck up 9.0.
Theres nothing at that br you cant deal with. Weirdly enough i do better in the t55am1 than the t62m1 purely because of the aphe round, i face germany, i take aphe. Plus its more mobile than the T62m1 and has a faster reload.

Gaijin balances off player statistics, if a premium in the big 3 is getting moved up it was probably clubbing pretty hard.
you want pay 2 win?
watch at that time, you play it quite a bit from your stats, though you still have -kd in it.
i dont play it much, i usually spawn it only to help clutch a match if needed. Its a hulldown monster, the armor turret armor at its br is amazing, and even if you do get penetrated you always survive. You loose 2 crew and your breach. Idk if you want a tank that cant die or something, but if youre getting shot in anything, well try and change your play style
