Best ending line ever.

The worst thing you can possibly see in a battle is that you sides highest 3 players are all KV-5s

its true, i hate having 3 or more premium tanks on my team especially kv5s.  most of the time the kv5s just rush in and die thinking that they are invincible and the lowes just sit back and "snipe" when we are counting on them to lead the charge. type 59s seem to do well even if they are terrible players just because the armor is so good and most players are scared of them.  i agree on the required minimum of 500 battles to buy, but it will never happen because of the massive amount of money WG makes off of these people

I think the op is right, no more premier tier 8 and the op should use his own income to replace WGs lost income.

Last night on mountain pass a KV-5 and I, that last two surviving members of our team, are on the cap, and our progress bar is comfortably ahead of the opposition's. An enemy Lowe is climbing up the ice floe towards us. There is no way he is going to make it up in time to get a shot at us and reset.

Well, that is what I was happy thinking until the KV-5 pulls out of cover to try and take a shot at him. I screamed at him in chat. He gets hit. We lose. It was the most galactically noob move I have seen in a high tier tank, ever.

I am not sure if this is a good suggestion, i would just like to discuss it, but would it be sensible if your playing premiun tanks and that they are already bought, but your only about to participate a certain number of battles a day in that one that premiun tank?

This is to stop some people from just placing their tanks in-game, and waiting for the team to pull the game up for them and just reap all the gains or from players just trying to skip their way and not play the lower tier tanks.

Oh ya if you don't get your x2 in the day, than its kinda too sad for that premiun tanker, so how does it sound?

OR another alternative is to you only have a set amount of battles to use this tank if you do not possess as tier 7 or higher tank in a day, but once you acquire a tier 7 tank or above,the amount of battles could either be extended or set to un-limited, i don't know which sounds better?

I think the idea that tier 8 premium players are worse than the general population in non-premium tier 8s is mostly wrong. All you have to do to confirm this is open your eyes and look past your nose to see it, there are a lot more really bad non-premium tier 8 players.

Sure you get a few new bad tier 8 premium players but the you do not have to be good to get a tier 8 non-premium tank you just have to be persistent and there are more of those people.

I played a game yesterday with a IS-3 that did did nothing but hide, get in the way, and run when he could help we would have been better off if he had went AFK... he paid nothing to be awful.

Actually, all you have to do is look at the stats. The KV-5 has the worst win percentage of any tank in the game. That would seem to be a bit of an indictment against premium tanks except for the fact that it is the ONLY premium tank in the list of tanks with the lowest winning percentage. Both the Lowe and the T34 do not make the list, which they should if they are routinely piloted by inexperienced drivers, since they are often top tier and can have an outside impact, both positive and negative, on the outcome of a match.

Yep

The KV-5 even with favored matchmaking is clearly a inferior tank therefore the lowest win rate. The Lowe, T34 and T-59 do well enough to disprove the OPs theory.

Earlier this morning, meanwhile our proffesional Lemming, TheRonmasteh, was getting his 3x on his tanks...

Takes real skill to hit 17% win rate, you can park it and do better than that so you got to be exceptional. The Garbad of bad.

Wtf....  even at only staying in each game for 5 minutes that is a full SIXTY DAYS of 24/7 play in 13 months.  Assuming the full time of 15 minutes it would be 6 months of 24/7 play out of the last 13 months.  And only winning 1/3 of the matches.

Either that is a bot account or some account from an internet cafe that gets shared.

If WG put a restriction on T8 prem, and made sure the lower prems made enough cred to keep players happy, the only income they'd lose is impatient players who can't stand any wait before playing a top dog T8 heavy. Who benefits from week old player buying Lowe? Player gets hammered and yelled at, teammates have to pretend they're back at T1 learning game all over, other team picks up bad habits instead of getting a challenge.

With T8 prem, WG gets lots of money from players who probably don't have patience to keep playing past a month or two. That's why there's no requirement. It's to take advantage of impulse buy from people who wouldn't spend half that much buying prem every month. If there was time or XP or games played requirement, all the other T8 buyers would still end up buying one, just not so early in their tank career.

Everytime i saw premium tanks for games in a row, i always think it must be hunting season

But I dont know what to shoot first when premium tanks coming my way, cant decide what kind of season is it.

For this guy:
You may be the best Lowe player EVAR!!! I don't know and I don't care. However, to get the Ace Master Class badge, you need one single epic battle, and then you get it and it is yours forever. So in reality you MAY be a terribad Lowe player and had one single EPIC battle and got the class 1 badge. So, telling us that you've got the Master Class 1 Badge for the Lowe means ... absolutely nothing. Just wanted to point that out to you. If you'd like to justify your argument with stats of some sort,please choose the right stats.

This doesn't only happen in premiums, by the way. I was capping with my random pubbie teammate in his T32 the other day in Fjords. We would have won EASILY, except that Mr. T32 driver didn't know what the word "capping" meant, and so he decided that, while capping, he'd stay in plain site and shoot the one lone bad guy left near their base, while being shot back, while his teammates were capping us. Mr. T32 died. I was pissed. We lost, SOLELY because he didn't stay under cover. NEVER blame premium players for this kind of garbage. It happens every where!!! And we must stop it!!! OK ... calm down ... calm down ... deep breath ...
