pizzastorm: Hey Tankers!
Just re-posting this since it disappeared a while ago. Some of it may be a bit out of date and of course it is subject to change.

Gift tank
I know there have been quite a number of questions surrounding various tanks that are not currently available on the NA/EU/SEA Server. Below, you’ll find an update of their status, along with a quick note of my own personal opinion on whether or not you should expect them to become available.
The following tanks are Alpha and Beta gift tanks; they were given to players that met particular criteria during the Alpha and Beta test phase. There are no plans to put these tanks in the Gift Shop. Pz.Kpfw. V/IV Alpha German Tier VI Medium Tank M4A2E4 Sherman Tier V Medium Tank
The next group of tanks are the pre-order vehicles. There was an understanding with those who pre-purchased the physical game bundles that these tanks would never be released on the NA or EU servers. We’re upholding that agreement so don’t expect to see them back on the market. M6A2E1 Tier 8 US Heavy Tank Pz.Kpfw. V/IV Tier VI German Medium Tank A-32 Tier IV Soviet Medium Tank The next group of tanks are Clan and Clan Wars reward vehicles. These tanks were prizes for those who have done well in Clan or Clan Wars events. We do not have any plans to sell these vehicles. M60 Tier X US Medium Tank VK 72.01K Tier X German Heavy Tank Object 907 Tier X Soviet Medium Tank
The group of tanks appearing below have been set aside as gift tanks. These may occasionally show up as a bonus in a Gift Shop package, or be handed out during the holidays or other special events, but these tanks will not be sold on their own.
T1E6 US Tier II Light Tank Tetrarch Soviet Tier II Light Tank Te-Ke LTP Light Mk. VIC, T7 CC WZ-111 Tier VIII Chinese Heavy Tank
Some tanks have been removed from the in-game Store and Gift Shop due to balance concerns. They aren't over powered for their tier, but they have not been re calibrated as premium vehicles. Simply put, they don’t earn the proper amount of Credits and there aren't plans to adjust them at this time. Occasionally, you may see these vehicles as rewards for contests or other high-profile events.
Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f) Tier IV German Heavy Tank (Available in gift shop) BT-SV Tier 3 Soviet Light Tank (Available in gift shop) 105 leFH18B2 Tier V French SPG KV-5 Soviet Tier VIII Heavy Tank T23E3 Tier VII US Medium Tank KV-220 Beta-Test Soviet Tier V Heavy Tank
A few vehicles have been removed from the game gift shop and in game purchase simply because, on average, they ‘over perform’ when matched into their own tier, but don’t scale well into higher tier games. It’s unlikely that they will ever return to the Gift Shop.
Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) Tier II German Light Tanks Type 59 Tier VIII Medium Tank Type 62 Chinese Tier VII Light Tank
The following tank was initially a reward for completing the in-game training tutorial and may make a return as a similar reward in the future.
M3 Light Tier III Soviet Light Tank
The tank below has been removed from the Gift Shop and in-game Store for balance issues. This was a tank that was under powered for its tier, due to mechanics changes. Back on sale now (8.8)
T26E4 Super Pershing Tier VIII Medium Tank - back on sale
The following tanks are only available in retail packages currently on the RU website. We don’t any official plans to make them available on the NA/EU server at this time.
Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J Tier III German Light Tank MTLS-1G14 Tier III US Light Tank
Some tanks have not been released even though they have been present on previous versions of the Super Test or Common Test Servers. At this time, we don’t have any sort of timeline as to when/if you can expect to see them again.
Pz.Kpfw. IV Hydraulic Tier V German Medium Tank
The following tanks was removed from the game in patch 0.6.5 and replaced by the now tier 8 M26 Pershing. If this tank is returned to game we will make a future announcement.
T23 Tier VIII Medium US Tank
The following tank was only released on the Chinese server, due to its double income and experience earning there are no plans to introduce it on the NA/EU Server.
Type 59 G Tier VIII Chinese Medium
I wish I had more detailed news I could share with you about each tank, but I hope this clears up some of the confusion about the status of the tanks above. There is a lot of game production on everybody’s plates, but as we increase our bandwidth and complete other tasks, we’ll hopefully be able to turn our attention to the vehicle you've got your eye on.
