However, it the current meta it's just too slow, the penetration is low compared to other TDs such as the Skorpion. When it was first introduced, it was a fairly powerful vehicle, with high DPM. Low penetration on standard ammunition, poor manoeuvrability - the only thing is has going for it is trollish armour, with those strange angles. Previously it was being sold as a God of the Battlefield, now the sales blurb is somewhat more realistic. We note Wargaming EU have changed their sales text for it in the recent past. The IS6 for instance - it has preferential matchmaking for a start - it will only see tier IX fights at the maximum. We're omitted a bunch of Tier VIII premium vehicles. Let's set out our criteria for choosing a vehicle with credit making potential:Īt the time of writing, the candidates are as follows: So which is the best vehicle for players on PC to buy at the time of writing - Autumn 2019? Not to mention the crew training benefits they can have, depending on their compatibility with other standard vehicles of the same nation and class. Yet to make WoT a viable game, a premium vehicle with the enhanced credit-making potential they bring is simply a requirement for the average player. However you may feel about this, the fact is that premium vehicles and premium ammunition don't win games. Of course, premium vehicles have contributed to this "power creep" and many of them are now flat out better than the tech tree counterparts. Some would argue that too many premium vehicles have been introduced - at a time when major balance issues exist in a sizable number of tech tree vehicles. However, that's far from the whole story - tier VIII is where much of the action is in the game and it is here that Wargaming in recent years has really concentrated its monetization efforts with the introduction of a hefty number of Premium vehicles. There's little debate that this is the most challenging tier to play at, and any WoT player who would like to claim some genuine skill at the game can't really do so without proficiency at tier X. In theory, World of Tanks is defined by the gameplay and vehicles at the maximum tier of X.
