I slightly disagree. The T-50 is a easy get as you can literally skip 29 levels to get a high power tank. Same goes out for the German counterpart ok but it ain’t a match. The T-50 remains a killing machine right away without any skills required.
That’s just a regular gold vehicle order.
We already have tons of gold vehicle orders before.
It’s up to player to choose to spend it somewhere (or just store it).
Also T-50(PZ3J) is from a old age when tech tree is not so mature that dev messed up later campaign levels with tier 1 tank squads. At that time, most players didnt know WTF is “Tier” means. Now, we have up to tier 4 squads.
Actually, newer BP vehicles arent that appealing as before. BP gold stuff means to be a path for players to skip levels and get later stuffs.
I agree, in the long haul the T34-85 in Berlin will not be replaced but the T-50 in Moscow will. T-50 isn’t hard to take out unless you are long range in the quarry map. (Hint: aim for the turret)
I have no idea since I have been FA from the very beginning but to be safe, the KV-1 is the alternative if you don’t have full access.
I have been using both the Suvorov T-34-85 and the IS-2 in my Berlin lineup. Having a free fully upgraded T-34-85 + cool decals through a gold vehicle card does save lots of bronze orders and gold mean alot.
