The Defender/Object 252U was balanced when that incompetent fool Murazor was put in charge of the balance department and like all the tanks "balanced" under him it has over buffed armour.   The Defender/Object 252U has better armour than the tech tree tier IX T-10, and it's armour is only marginally weaker than the tier X IS7, and that is what makes it such a disaster for the MM. Ok the gun is worse than that on the IS3 at tier VIII which just makes it slightly irritating to play, but the armour makes it painful to play against for the majority of the tanks it meets.   When WG said that they would reduce sales of the Defender/Object 252U they should have stuck to their word, and only put them in the Christmas gambling boxes and left it at that. Once a year sales of this abomination are quite sufficient. But I suppose loads will be bought sadly, and WG will think the profit was good, whilst at the same time losing their customers trust, and by spoiling the MM for other players alienating more of their paying customers.   Not selling Defender/Object 252U's on the EU ever again would have made WG customers happier even if it might take longer to reach the profit bottom line. Selling this abomination is like drinking cheap fizzy sugar drinks, it will give you a quick burst of energy (for WG a quick burst of cash) but at the cost of rotting your teeth (for WG at the cost of rotting your relationship long term with your paying customers and their loyalty).   This is a very bad idea and the marketing, long term customer retention and strategy departments should hang their heads in shame for their failure to perceive the damage the sale does to the company in the long term.
