Because tomorrow is the 1st April I’m not sure if I should believe that this is true but it also don’t have april fools stats.
WHAT FUCK YOU IDIOTS AT WG ARE THINK ABOUT IT ????? HOW A TIERS 7 WILL PLAY AGAINST IT IN HULL DOWN ?????
wait until you see the AE, Concept, 777, or like literally any other tier 9 lmao
hate to break it to you but if you’re fighting a hulldown tier 9 heavy in a tier 7 of any kind you’re playing wrong
Shoot the cupola. Unlike the T95/FV4201, this Chieftain actually has one.
It’s a joke you prick. 1st April
There’s now in game pictures of it. Guess you’re the prick now, fucking retard.
Welcome to your next Tier-IX premium tank!
If the Russian market is toast for the foreseeable future, WG has to come up with something to pry Dollars and Euros out of the rest of its core audience.
Sadly it probably is. What it should be is part of a mini-branch on the British heavy line, followed by the Chieftain Mk. 6 (which has been sitting in the game files for years) at Tier X.
Judging on the NA’s server numbers, it’ll probably just be the euros
That this tank actually exists at Bovington suggests this is the real deal. Whether the game needs more tanks like this (probably not) is besides the point if WG decides they have a commercial winner.
I don’t know why anyone needs more than 4 premium tanks ever.
I don’t need anymore.
I won’t pay for anymore.
More cancer
I recall the rumor on here from last year that they were planning on releasing a chieftain line towards the end of this year. Could this be a premium for it, the tech tree tier 9, or did they just give up and decided to only do a tier 9 premium?
