SO, 2 years ago, i bought the Tiger 2 SLA for £29.99. It was advertised as being a tiger 2 tank that was actually built and fitted with a 750hp engine, with a historical source to back this.
Due to this superior Horsepower, the vehicle was shown in promotional videos as being able to accelerate better then normal Tiger 2s.
After the first year, i discover on my own that actually, the tank never existed, with the historical source now being quietly removed from the advertisement on the warthunder store. OK, annoying, but not enough to justify a complaint.
But NOW, its been announced that they plan to nerf the engine from 750HP, to 680HP. The standard tiger 2 has 700HP (Soon to also be nerfed to 600HP)
So essentially, im ending up with a WORSE performing tiger 2 tank, then the free one obtainable in the game! The ENTIRE selling point of the vehicle was that its engine gave it superior mobility over the free version, and now thats been made essentially redundant in terms of gameplay experience.
I know i cant get a refund for the £29.99 that i paid, but would it not be unfair to request that we purchasers of the vehicle get some form of in-game compensation, like equivalent Golden eagles?
Feel like ive been miss-sold. (First time using the forum, apologies if not the right page)
I paid £30 for a tank that was advertised as having 750 horsepower. Now, that benefit i paid actual money for, is being taken away. If it was a FREE vehicle, i wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, But i purchased this for the stated superior 750hp engine.
Then i as a customer will be far more hesitant to buy a premium vehicle in the future. It would be decent good faith if this inconvenient change was compensated.
Then i simply won’t trust the advertising anywhere near as much in the future. They gave a false source, sold me a product based on that source, and now they seek to remove a core component of my purchased product after the fact.
Im after what is now lost to me, the ability to play games in a 750hp tank i paid money for. OK, they can nerf it, but i should be given a little something for the obvious inconvenience.
But its now worse then the standard tiger 2s of the time. I bought it to have a tiger 2 with superior engine power, as the gameplay experience with standard 2s was lacking for me.
