As you all may have heard, there is a tank coming in patch 7.5 called the Super Pershing.  Apparently, it's a modification of the regular Pershing, with extra armor plates.  I also hear it's getting the 90mm gun, which can't be much different from today's mediums.  So it's basically going to be a heavily-armored medium.

Hey, doesn't that sound familiar?  Isn't there a heavily-armored tier 8 premium medium tank that makes gameplay tough for mid-tier tanks?

Add the fact that it's American, and I'm sure everyone and their brother will be buying it.  This is the North American server, so many people from United States will prefer it over the Type 59.

Better finish grinding those mid-tier tanks soon!

With the extra armour, I can't see it being as fast as the 59.

Likely won't be as fun to play as the regular Pershing or the 59.

Let them have it. Every needs a nice gold tank. I'm still a little irked Germany don't have a high tier medium yet. I figure with the popularity of the 59, and we all know will jump on the Super Pershing like white on rice. So where is Germany's even though I don't have a clue what it would be.

Considering the low top speed, unlikely it'll be as bad.

In my opinion, they should have just added the T23 instead.

1) They already have the model for it, so it's not as difficult to add.
2) Due to its speed, it is more fun to play.
3) Due to its low armor, it is less of a pain for mid tier tanks.
4) It's already well-balanced for a tier 8 premium, since it was always just slightly weaker than its peers.

Does have a point. And all the german tankers then can jump on that premium band wagon. More money for them.

The German's are getting a tier 8 premium Td. And rumor been bouncing around that the leo a1 will branch down from the vk3002db. they said they haven't completely pushed the leo a1 out of the picture yet.

Could be a bit like the 3601 in tier 6. Or like the differences between the E8 and E2
But slightly different or not I still don't see what the hell we need 2 tier 8 Pershings for.
im sure they are sure of their logic though.

Always have the SturmTiger when it comes out lol

i would love a super pershing personally, main reason being is because i do believe that it could be OP. the extra armor means it can fight t8 heavies, and dink the heavies shells. the above average maneuverability means it can outmaneuver the heavies, while still remaining fairly agile against t8 mediums. the 90mm thats on it means it can dish out an acceptable amount of firepower, and have enough pen to pen a e-75 on the side/rear.

[Uxellinus]

isn't the leo stated to have like 38mm of armor.. its going be a german bat with no auto loader then right?
