I do not know what WG does.
You can use your 20% tankreward discount to buy OBJ 252. That is cheap.
They did not sell OBJ 252 during the Black Market.
Lot of people would play happily double price for OBJ 252.
They don’t want further outrage. if they had offered it… lets say in a gold bidding contest…. fill in the blanks
They didn’t put Defender into BM because February 23rd is Defender of the Fatherland Day and Defender is an obvious tank to sell then.
ps. i also think they want to sell it to a bigger audience than 5000 ppl ;p
Yay, a Tier VIII premium with Tier IX armour. Soon even stronger once the ingenious ammo rework has gone live. Three cheers for Wargaming, balancing masters of the universe.
Not entirely true.
The HE rework will allow for tanks (weaker ones too) to do more often consisten HE damage.
I hate when i roll 50~300 dmg on turrets or hulls. Now we get enough damage over time to hopefully end those hull down fights.
doing 100 dmg on Defenders hull will be consistent yes,while he shoots back at ya for 470 (cuz russian RNG)dmg with a smile on his face…….
I was hoping the HE rework would indeed offer a chance to damage heavily armoured tanks such as the Defender reliably … well, it does, but like Hooli_Gun has pointed out, the HE damage is so laughably low that it is basically pointless. I specifically experimented with HE on stronger armour on Sandbox – total joke.
You gotta splash thinly armored parts, like roof or belly armor.
In other words, shoot weakspots. But … if I absolutely have to fire at weakspots because otherwise the damage is negligible, why fire HE in the first place when AP makes much more damage?
Sorry, it IS stupid. No two opinions about it.
One mistake and turret is gone.
And ammoracks on Defenderss
are so satisfying. 😀
Just pen armor behind front right wheel and turret goes to the moon and back.
sure,everybody will ammorack them now that you told them the secret………..oh boy………
Don’t worry, WG will get the money back through ammo spam, they like tanks that can’t pen and be penned without gold.
In any case, it is a very good tank for its money.
I consider it better than the type59 although the later gets up to only Tier 9 battles while my Defender almost always sees Tier 9-10 battles.
If you do not have it, buy it!
QB already has these!
If you positively need to troll, could you think of something more imaginative or amusing? This is just meh.
WG still being cheating greedy bastards.
They have added incompetence to their repertoire.
