On the ASIA server, press/CC accounts were seen playing with the K-2 and T54 Heavy Tank recently. From other sources, the K-91-2 was also mentioned as a possibility.
K-2 (USSR, Tier-8, HT, premium)
T54 Heavy Tank (USA, Tier-9, HT, premium)
K-91-2 (USSR, Tier-9, MT, premium)
Rather more interesting than coloring-book tanks, but I probably don’t have the resources to compete.
More items and more cheap. We can’t purchase a Monkeys King at this price! We are poors! ๐ฎ
T54 seems like a worse 103 or AE. K2 seems strong on the armor, but with everything else being way worse than even the Kirovets-1. I think that’s a hard pass on both.
T54’s thing is the 12 degrees of gun depression, which comes at the cost of basically all its other stats and the k2 is what happens when you take the is4 and drop it down a few tiers while making every soft stat shit, so yeah I agree it’s a pass on both. At least the k91-ii seems good, hopefully they put that in either the auction or the caravan if that ever comes back around.
T54 Heavy is pretty bad – it has higher alpha and more gun depression, and a bit more frontal hull armour, but it’s otherwise worse than M103.
K-2 is also a potato except for the armour which is ridiculous, tier for tier it’s better than the IS-4. A good choice for average players and also a good way to troll BZ-176 padders. ๐
K-2 will never able to troll the bz-176, it only can troll the bad players who play the bz-176
bz-176 can over match K-2 with AP. bz-176 is strong, but not strong enough to carry a really bad player.
How much more milking can the player base sustain?
Exactly….I’m lucky not to be a “plays-for-free” player who has to watch every credit, but I only care to participate in a “potlach” like the Lion event maybe twice a year.
Just met the K-91-2 in battle:

I hope that one isn’t the free xp tank. That’s the main one I want. Not Op, not flashy- but really interesting to look at and should be decent to play.
I’m hurriedly saving free XP but I fear it won’t be enough in time to snag whatever is on offer for it.
I wait for udiary tank ๐๐ผ
Meh, if this is all we get for this year, I’m both surprised and disappointed. This is the event I look forward to the most each year.
