Why is Tiger 131 Not a British Premium?

No. Since Gaijin said no more captured tanks.

I will bet you if we did the T-VI-100 they would count it as a separate tank and put it in the game therefore espacillay cause it can bring in extra cash the Bovington might jump on the WT train and WT gets more money,].

Tiger 131 is, to me, a bad idea for a premium. It was never actually used, only evaluated. Britain captured, evaluated and tested basically everything the Wehrmacht ever put on tracks or wheels, so it’s a bad precedent to set. You may as well just make every German tank a British premium at that point.

A much better option for a German/British premium would be the Panther G, nicknamed, ‘Cuckoo’.

Captured by the Coldstream guards, and more importantly, was actually used and fired shots in anger.

“Cuckoo” Was a Less Know Tank and wouldnt really bring any joy playing it as its less know than the 131. The 131 Also would be good for a Battle pass tank or event tank since its more know and has more Story to it. Also Germany has a captured Churchill why dosent Britan have a captured Tiger?

The British Used the 131 for Testing and Evaluation too?

But far more historically and militarily interesting than Tiger 131.

Because we basically hand gifted Jerry a bunch of Churchills at Dieppe, which were pressed into use.

We, on the other hand, never actually used a Tiger.

If we’re being brutally honest, the only reason Tiger 131 was not a forgotten, irrelevant footnote to history, like all the other German tanks brought back and evaluated on British shores, is solely because it was preserved in running order to this day.

It makes no sense to be a combatant in the British tree, because it was never a combatant for British forces irl.

Cuckoo on the other hand was.

Swedish Tiger II was such a bad addition. Their reasoning for adding it was awful.

But then again, it’s very in keeping with other silly additions Sweden gets like AHS, Mi28 and T80U.

Maybe because the Tigris is at the same BR as the Tiger E but has its “only weakness” removed?

Yes, there’s a big difference between vehicles that were captured and actually used in combat by its captors vs just a disabled vehicle that was captured and shipped off for study. If the latter is the criteria for vehicles then essentially every nation would have every vehicle as a premium because vehicles are abandoned and captured literally all the time. Not even just during wartime, for example the US had at least one captured example of damn near every Soviet fighter during the cold war and vice versa

This isnt a original Panther.
Isnt that the mock up on T- something basis. The Tracks and part of the running gear appear to be so.
Not to mention the Muzzle brake.

SInce Germany has anything from any other country (better T-34, Churchill, Herman the German Sherman etc.), I think we should definately see Germany’s tanks in the hands of other countries.

Gaijin’s logic is that Sweden bought theirs from France, whereas 131 is still a captured vehicle.

Ims skeptical tiger 131 would be controversial. Its such an iconic vehicle. And britain is such an inoffensive nation. Honestly it would go well in lineup with the cent mk1

To be fair, for AHS/Mi28 there wasnt much else they could give the heli tree. I dont like the Kungstiger, I would have rather they added the KV-1B/A to the tech tree, or the Kranvagn/Strv K - but its better then nothing.

At least its a BP vehicle, so its not that egregious.

(The same can be said of the Japanese tiger, but they are in an even worse spot vehicle-wise lol)

How about this American captured King tiger?

Fully get where you’re coming from, I just really hate the precedent it set.

Everytime snail allows such things, it just opens up the slippery slope for other people to ask for such things, and it doesn’t take long of that for WT to devolve into the other F2P tank game.

Like I can recall seeing footage from British Pathè, of a Jagdtiger being driven round a British evaluation circuit. We would all, hopefully, be able to collectively recognize giving Britain a Jagtiger on that basis would be ridiculous, so it really upset me to see so many Sweden mains pushing for, and defending the Kungstigers addition, when it’s every bit as nonsensical.
