Version 9.6: New Premium Tanks

The accuracy and aim time stats for the gun feel like a lie and its not great at firing on the move either. Too slow a top speed. Bad traverse speed for a tank with no armour whatsoever. This tank is practically unplayable for 99% of the players in this game. Its one of the hardest tanks I have ever played and even though I am relatively good, one mistake and its game over. No preferential MM. As the tank is worse than regular tier 8 tanks, you can imagine how much fun it is to drive this giant paper (albeit quite fast) tank in tier 10. In a game with 3 or more arties, you may as well go afk. You just aren't able to take a hit from arty which forces you to camp and the less active you are, the less credits you make. It also takes a ridiculous amount of module damage.   The good things about this tank:   It accelerates very well. It has a decent reload time. Its mobile enough to relocate and switch flanks when needed. Its HP pool allows you to survive some yolo attacks from light tanks. Its cheap. At 20 quid, its reasonably priced. The gun has great AP penetration, so firing gold is not really needed (most of the time). It looks quite nice.   My proposed solution is to buff it and put the price up a bit. I would have been quite happy to spend another fiver or tenner for this to either have premium MM, or for it to actually be as fast as we initially thought it would be.   As it stands I can't really say that I would recommend this tank. The reasons being, because apart from it having a very high skill ceiling, it also feel like it has been gimped on purpose so its not better that the FCM 50 t (which is more expensive).    After further playing, I cannot stress enough how badly this thing takes module rack damage. I am even using a large repair kit so that I can get my tracks and ammo rack back up, because otherwise you will die sitting there. This tank just has too many cons and not enough pros at the moment and is very frustrating to play.

If I want to make money, I do not want to see tier 10. How can you guys expect us to make credit in tier 10 with these two tanks? Have some more respect for humanity and change the match making for these tanks. Make it only up to tier 9. If you ask me, all premium tanks in tier 8 should never see tier 10. No one likes to play premium tanks for fun. They are to make credit and should be respected as such. I have T34 that takes me in tier 10. I have done over 1700 battles on it and can speak for it. The tank honestly does not belong in a match where you can't make more than 3 shots. It's not fair. Thanks
