I have been thinking about getting myself a premium tank to help me with grind of a tech tree + for SL and I think it’s a good time to do it while the discounts last.
I am not concrete what country I want to go with, but I am pivoting towards TAM 2IP, T-80UD, or something high BR Swedish(to start grinding Swedish tech tree). I prefer something at least decent on mobility with a great gun.
I understand that getting a 9.3 probably isn’t the wisest idea when my top tanks now are 6.3 (USA, Germany and CCCP) so I got a testdrive of the TAM 2IP from the warbonds shop and had a decent time with it (I really suck at timings tho). But then again I know the Russian top tiers (and bias xdd) are by far the best, I just hold a bit of a presonal grudge against russia ahem ahem you know…
Got around 16 hours to decide if I am getting anything or not and even if I get too fed with the game, I am quite sure I will get back to it in time. (the power of Snail is too strong)
Thank you for reading my TED talk and for any response.
The premium you want to buy just depends on what country you want to grind. But if you don’t care about the country, I would recommend the Leopard 1A5NO2 for Sweden. 9.3 is the absolute meta right now as it just got decompressed (unnecessarily), and Sweden has a pretty strong 9.3 lineup.
The T-80UD is pretty good but Russian tanks in general kind of feel gross to play because of the very poor handling characteristics, poor reverse and bad mobility. That being said the T-80UD has great firepower for its tier, and good armor. It’s also Rank VII so it can grind the entire Russian TT. As for Russian top tier, most people heavily over exaggerate how good they are. They are maybe the 5th or 6th best country at top tier (with respect to their MBTs).
The TAM 2IP is good, but not as good as it once was. Still, 9.3 is a very good area to play and Germany has the best 9.3 lineup in the game.
Just keep in mind that the TAM 2IP and 1A5NO2 will not be able to grind out their entire tech trees since they are Rank VI.
Yesterday I wanted to buy me some GE to get the Leo 1A5NO2 and maybe some low BR aircraft but the game decided for me and the payment wouldn’t go trough haha.
Welp, guess I will not get it then. The Snail works in mysterious ways I suppose, cos it was a gaijing side issue most likely.
