Most likely the asian team not sincere .... I'm not sure if they have any rights in price saying or not, but WG promote defender don't have the stock price (the one with the tank and garage only). It has never happen before with other tank, even those consider op tank always on sale besides promotion will have stock tank to sell with no discount if you choose to not get their discount package.
And if I am not mistaken when defender first came out they do sell stock price also. So either WG is so hungry for money they force player to pay extra for the garbage amount of gold or this decision is made by the asian team.
Its going to get worst after they introduce old tanks that they remove from tech tree to be only purchaseable with bonds. making player pay for gold AND bonds.
Usually gold and craps bundles with tank sales is cater for new players like me who need gold to convert 1:35 xp to skip tier 1-8 tanks to rush for tier 9 and 10 tanks (my case, I skipped UK TD tiers until Conway + top gun)
and I particularly thankful for Mauerbrecher bundle offer with tons of crew XP reserves and gold with discounted price since I need both Crew XP reserves + gold in supreme/ultimate package.
WG asia team is not sincere enough to cater for veteran players which only interested in premium tank+garage only price.
Now i struggling which prem tanks to let go for trade in for a different type of tank: (please advise)
1. Skorpion G - Gun & Hull handling inferior than M4A1 ravioli, Gun handling way inferior than STRV S1 (I can do drifting + siege mode to snapshot enemies), never touch SKG ever since I have S1 + Ravioli
2. M4 Ravioli - APCR pen a bit anemic against tier 9-10, but still great for sniping scouts and flanking.
3. Blackdog - Hull profile is too big as roaming scouts, I would prefer ELC EVEN 90 size if I want to went yolo scouting.
I am looking to trade in: (please advise on this)
M56 scorpion (for T95 crew training)
T34 (for T57 line grinding?)
New incoming Italian tank which might be included into tech tree?
Others tech tree premiums?
Prem tanks that I wont ever let go:
1. Alpine tiger - Unique camo and its HEAT shell 250mm PEN + high top speed is pretty good in adapting many situation, always loaded full gold but still gaining profits, and can fight on par with Defender, but with better mobility
2. Obj 252u - this tank act as main core of the mechanized units in my garage due to its thick armor except the big lower plate, as usual always loaded APCR (265mm PEN but cheaper than alpine gold) against tier 8 - 10 tanks.
3. Mauerbrecher - despite its numerous flaws and its only decent gun to redeem itself, its design is too badass to give up
4. STRV S1 - 1 of the best credit earning prems and best gun handling/snapshot in siege mode
Purchased discounted camo for them:
