Major_Rampage: Howdy Tankers!
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 current 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
KV-220 Beta-Test Soviet Tier V Heavy 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 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
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 recalibrated 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
105 leFH18B2 Tier V French SPG
KV-5 Soviet Tier VIII Heavy Tank
Type 62 Chinese Tier VII Light 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
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. More details for this particular tank can be found here: http://worldoftanks....nges-86-update/T26E4 Super Pershing Tier VIII Medium Tank
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 server at this time.Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J Tier III German Light Tank
MTLS-1G14 Tier III US Light Tank
SU-85I Tier V Soviet Tank Destroyer
BT-SV Tier III Soviet 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.WZ-111 Tier VIII Chinese Heavy Tank
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 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.
