I make about 20 to 30k average on a battle with the t34 (profit). I would say I suck with it (and thats why I earn so little), but my win rate is 49% and that's about average. So I want to know. Which will net me more profit the T59 (since its on sale) or the KV5 (since it'll return occasionally)?

T59, because its available NOW (well, soon).  You never know when or if the KV-5 will be back up for sale.

I have neither, but fighting against them, I do not fear the KV-5 in any tank...  but that T59 is still a beast regardless what people say.

KV-5 cheap ammo, maintenance, close battles, ramming so nett more credits~

But depends what you like~

Personally I like light tanks, KV-5 and churchill =3

[Tedster59]

I have both, and they both make large amounts of money when played right.  It all depends on your play style with the tanks.  do you want a fast flanker style of tank, or the frontline brawler?

[FemmeFatale2]

I recommend the KV-5.  It's a beast and makes more credit than the Type 59

[SourKraut13]

Depends on your play style. Type 59 is a true medium so it plays like one. If you like heavies and want to lead the charge, then the KV-5 (When available again). If you like light tanks, might want to think about the Type 62.

I am great with French tanks (54% win rate with all tier 6 and up). Also decent with brawlers (about 48, 49, 50% range)

[Madox76]

Both have different play styles go with what you like more.

I have Lowe and T59  both end up earning about same... though as Lowe is Sniper I tend to stay alive longer thus do more damage and get more credits...  But love medium especially Russian styled which t59 is and its justfun to play... though my survival rate sure doen't benefit from it LOL

[Thornax]

its all about  damage  is what gonna earn  the credits  i make from 30k- 110k  on my  t59    and i am sure the lowe  and the kv5  t34  can make about the same    if you are    running a prem account

[Romanianhero]

The Type 59 is the better choice to go with.
I am a type 59 owner and its a Beast tank.

[Sovek1944]

I'm torn... I want both, but can't get both. I also have a KV-5, Chuchill and T14. So I do not need another premium tank... but...

Having ground up to the IS-4 pre 7.3 I'm comfortable with the frontline brawler. The KV-5 is also not the horribad tank they make it out to be. Its glaring weakspot is its only downside, but that can be minimized when played right.

[Maniac35]

thek only way to go is....


the type 59

If you are good at driving both KV-5 and type 59, you will make much more credits with kv-5 than type 59 because of KV-5's 2100 DPM. (more damage dealt = more credits)

Type 59 may be more fun to drive though, because it is faster.

My current KV-5 stats:

Spoiler

KV-5 is one of those tanks that I have with more steel wall than sniper.
457 games / 62 steel walls = 1 steel wall every 7.3 matches.
457 / 49 sniper = 1 sniper every 9.3 matches.

I didn't say I was good at driving it, though the newest patch has helped it. The DPM is nice too. Explains why it tends to do well slugging it out with other tanks.

This is the answer I give everybody asking about which premium they should buy:

Go with the one you think you'll enjoy the most. Once you start grinding out tier 9 and 10 tanks, the one tank you'll play the most games in will be your premium tank. I'd much rather make 10-20% fewer credits in a tank that I enjoy playing than suffer painful credit grinds that feel more like work than fun.
