According to the premium shop there is no zero skill crew with the IS-2M.

 

So does it have one or not and why should anyone buy your bundles when there is so much conflicting info as to what they'll actually get??

Special Crew listed in the premium shop is a "zero skill" BIA Crew.

Players affected by the Presale should have been compensated. If they have not please submit a ticket to investigate and make sure they have the correct crew

 

[Bushranger]

If I buy the package with the IS-2M and IS-2, do I get the full gold value of the IS-2 as I already have it?

That pic in the post looks like the normal bundle. I just checked our premium shop and didn't see what was shown in the reddit post. 

 

So to me, it looks to be fixed.

Now I'm all for Russian premium Op bias tanks but when is China going to get some love you still have lots of Chinese premiums you can sell or better yet turn the World of Tanks Chinese tree into a Pan Asia tree like in World of Warships and have the tree show Chinese and Taiwanese tanks see links below for more details

You guys need to standardize your language for ads.  "Special" either means 1 perk crew that I get to select-  as was published a few days ago or it means zero BIA crew.  You have only succeeded in sowing confusion.

That's fair Yankee, and in this case it was supposed to be.  Issue was caused by a late confirmation on whether or not Zero-Skill crew were to be available, late enough that the sale had already started running with the backup copy.  Anyone who purchased a bundle with the "Special Crew" should have or should soon be automatically credited the Zero Skill Crew.

And for whatever reason the confusing wording in the premium shop can't be changed?? Seems legit.../sarc

Late confirmation?? Are you sure it wasn't caused by someone screwing up and putting the wrong description on the website forcing you to include something that wasn't originally intended??

I'm confused.

I got an email and clicked through the link in the email to this URL : https://worldoftanks...am&utm_term=inf

...

which unambiguously states that the bundle including the IS2 and IS2-M gets "Brothers in Arms" crews for BOTH tanks. See below (emphasis mine) :

Block Quote

 

Bundle Contents:

[image redacted!]

• VIIIS-2M  
• Fully trained "zero-Skill" Crew withBrothers in Arms Perk for the IS-2M
• GetXP for the first 20 wins in the IS-2M
• VIIIS-2  
• Fully trained "zero-Skill" Crew withBrothers in Arms Perk for the IS-2
• Special customization for the IS-2
• GetXP for the first 20 wins in the IS-2
• 2xGarage slots

 

So I clicked the Buy Now link and bought it.

 

I see an IS-2 in my garage with a 100%, Brothers-in-Arms crew for the IS-2 (as advertised)

I see an IS-2M in my garage with a 55%, loser crew (not "Fully trained 'zero-Skill' Crew withBrothers in Arms Perk for the IS-2M) as advertised on the page above

 

That web page that you linked to in the email very unambiguously states that I should expect to two 100%, BIA crews, each specialized in each of the two tanks.

 

I am 100% confident I didn't misread anything. So there's mistake in your end on either :

1. That Web Page, misrepresenting what I should expect?
   or
2. The software, giving me less than what I ought have expected?

 

Help?

 

Edited : If I understand the prior posts correctly, it was Case (2) and I should expect a 100%, BIA crew to appear in my IS-2M some time soon?

[_Dr_Flankenstein_]

Ok wait now I'm completely confused.

 

I see the IS-2 in the Chinese tech tree on the path toward the WZ-111 5A -- a Tier X Chinese heavy.

 

But the IS-2 I have on my garage is a Russian tank with a Russian crew and appears nowhere on the Russian tech tree.

 

I thought I was buying a Premium IS-2M and a regular IS-2 that would have a BIA crew en route to the WZ-111 5A as shown in the tech tree.

 

What do I do to just undo this purchase and get a refund? It isn't what I thought I was buying.

 

As it turns out, names matter, people.

[Unschooled_Bus]

So are we supposed to get one or two crews with zero skill BiA for purchasing the IS-2 Family bundle?

This corrected post on a forum is NOT adequate notice to those of us who bought the pre-sale and did NOT GET THE BIA CREW. I play the game not the forums. I did not go to the forums to buy my special, nor was I contacted about it through the forums. Am I suposed to read every post on every forum to find out that deals I have been offered have been changed?

 

I am appalled. I did not realize that reading every thread in the forums was a condition for buying tanks and getting the correct deals. I felt reading the front page of your webpage.... the news and announcements should be sufficient. And quite frankly, I will NOT do more business as I find your forum community to be quite toxic and negative, and I don't associate with folks like that. LOL I won't even be back to check for replies to this post. Your game is fun, your premium shop amateurish and untrustworthy as far as i can see from this deal, and your forums appalling.

I would check your barracks.

 

Per my earlier post, I went in and looked and there was in fact a 2nd BIA crew in there -- they just weren't in the tank itself. Maybe they added it after-the-fact? I'm not sure, but it was there.

 

All that said, I still went for a refund because I was confused thinking the IS-2 was the IS-2 in the Chinese tree that I cold use the 2M tank to train up the chinese WZ heavy line.

 

Not so. 

 

They're both Russian tanks and appear nowhere on the tech tree.

 

It's confusing (if not misleading) and they should be more careful about how they describe these things in the future.
