BUT, you either must have at least 20 premium tanks already or to have an active premium account!
Price around 26€.

They make you buy something to be able to buy something else, and that’s ok with you, because “it’s just one day of premium time”? Jesus Christ, idiots like you are the reason companies can do whatever the fuck they want nowadays.

This is an excellent idea to reward players who are loyal to the game. If you have played awhile accumulating 20 Premium tanks is easy with give aways and marathons.
Only ignorant cheapskates who want something for nothing such as Diadtec will be upset, and since they have not spent anything (nor thought of the tiny cost of buying a single day of premium), they deserve to be upset.

You dont seem to understand why I’m angry. What really pisses me off is how they go about subversively forcing people to buy additional useless items in order to get what you want. What happens is that wargaming sometimes makes tanks only available bundled with other stuff, when you dont want that extra stuff, and people tend to get angry on the forums because of this.
So what does wg do? They dont make it a “bundle”, but there is a catch: you need to buy additional content SEPARATELY, but because it isnt “bundled”, they think it’s different somehow.
Dont get me wrong, I can’t care less about an extra $5 for a week of prem time, what pisses me off is that wg is basically saying “our customers are retarded, so lets re-market our bundle policy and make it separate but still necessary to purchase the tank”
And you know what? I bet a lot of people will fall for that
This does not affect the whales (that probably have an endless stream of premium time), but hurts a lot of the occasional purchasers slightly.
You should be concerned too, because wg is testing how much shit they can get away with, and will slowly increment this action until it gains massive attention, then move on to the next tactic. The cent RAAC is marginally better in all aspects than the cent 1, and better in some areas than the primo victoria, while having absolutely no drawbacks. Quickybaby gave it a pass because it was marginal, but wg is testing the waters before it goes balls deep screwing everyone over in future deals, which will have these exact characteristics but more extreme

People who can’t afford a premium account are very likely people who can not afford a premium tank in the first place. So this is much ado about nothing.

I think we’re taking a game of toy tanks a little too seriously? Forcing me to buy it? I think not and I won’t be getting it because I don’t need it or want it.
The vast majority of sales in the EU or NA appear to have options of big bundles, little bundles or no bundles (the current Cromwell B and ISU122S for instance) Perhaps they will sell the RAAC in this ‘must have xxx’ but once again we have the option of not buying it.
In the end -Its only a silly little video game

I think there’s been a misunderstanding. It’s not that it’s exclusive to people who have 20+ premiums or a premium account.
It’s early access. If you meet either prerequisit then you can purchase the tank before it becomes available to everyone.
In a week or two it will be available to everyone. It’s incentive but not a forced requirment.
So your anger is a bit unwarrented

Ok, so one day of premium costs:
NA: $1.50
EU: 1.26 Euros
RU: 94,33 Rubles
If they had tacked that price on the tank, would you have still bought it you wanted it? The amount you entitled children you are complaining, you’d think they just kicked your puppy out a window. I hate WG, and even I think this is a totally reasonable thing to do, rewards long time players, and lets people who have not played with a premium account see if the in game time saved is worth the monetary cost.
This is not one of their $200 bs pay walls like they have done in the past. if they had, said “$1.50 off if you are a current premium account holder or have 20 premium/reward tanks in your garage” but they had adjusted the price to the price including one day of premium, would you be complaining as much? Same price two ways of looking at how they could have marketed it.
If you do not have a current premium account, you are probably not buying premium vehicles anyway.

don’t know exactly why but I like the look of this Centurion, I think it’s because it actually feels like a war machine with all the extras/supplies, although it’s missing the bags of the crew members, I think it is worth the money just for the looks alone
additionally there’s never “too many” Centurions in the game, in fact I believe they could even add 1 more at Tier 7 (non-premium), since the Panther has more armour (80mm vs 76/73mm, same as the Easy 8 at tier 6) on the same tier and the gun (17pdr) is available in the game from Tier 6 with the Firefly

I agree there could easily be a tier 7 cent 1 17lb. The reality is tiger 2 should be a tier 7 and tiger 1 should be tier 6 in the tech tree. Also tier 7 is probably most fun tier for premiums right now.

There’s the case of the FV 201. It essentially is a 17 pounder Cent at T7, though you do have to squint a little for the visuals to align properly (it’s a prototype version of the Caern hull, so the suspension is different).
On the rest, I agree. The historical Tiger I works like a charm in it’s T6 premium incarnations, same for the VK 4503 at T7, as a Tiger II stand-in. It always irked me how the tanks that were designed to compete with either Tiger I or Tiger II on equal footing are on the exact same tier and still get gun-upgrades, while Tiger I and Tiger II get minor gun-upgrades and their armor completely negated.

more armor more mobility and better gun than the standard centurion ?
back when I started the premium tanks were worse than standard vehicles and meant to just grind money the game was fun and I spent some money
now the new premiums are even better than the almost new premiums (primo vic) that are already better as standard vehicles

As long as premiums are about the same level as the tech tree tanks I can’t see the problem. We can choose to grind out 200k xp over several days or work that time instead and buy the tank.

The problem is you wont get many new player in the game imagine you stock grind random tier 8 tank as standard account player in centurion 1 and then face this tank or other new premiums with superior crew its like 1 vs 2
doubt the playerbase is increasing in this game since a lot of time anymore it seems they are just milking their cashcows and then shut down the game for a new one this would make sense at least
Dont understand who could anybody still spend money in this game

I think the point about new players is much more important than what we think about any particular premium tank. Buy the premium or don’t it’s not an issue but how do we encourage new players?
GIVE them stuff for their first 1000 games, 100% crews WITH sixth sense and let them move these tank to tank with no penalty. A set of basic equipment (binos, camo net, tool box etc) There are so many sad seal clubbers out there with 3-4 skill crews fully equipped that new players need all the help they can get. Maybe restrict the number of low tier games a 10K player can get into or don’t let them earn xp, credits from clubbing games?

The money is there to be spent. Some of it for the everyday needs like food and bills, and some for pleasure. If the very act of buying a premium tank gave you some degree of pleasure or satisfaction then it was money well spent, and the tank fulfilled it’s purpose, regardless of the exact way it did it. No need to feel stupid about it.

Next time, Piromanrs, you should mention that it’s currently available to EARLY ACCESS to people that have 20+ premium tanks or a premium account. It’s not exclusive to these people, they just are able to purchase it ahead of it’s global launch.
I know this for a fact because;
1) I purchased it on the ASIA server.
