Just take a look at any type 5 heavy test server review u will see how unrealistic is this tank, better frontal armor and bigger than maus but move quicker, with no frontal weakspot gg wargaming.

No alternative but to press 2.

 

Appreciate the buff of german tanks, how about the t55a? If u check vBAddict it is one of the WORST CREDIT MAKING tank, it is unbelievably costly to play!!! Would WG try to consider reducing the ammo or repair price?

t55a is very similar to t54, but it is slightly worse IMO.

Er type 5 heavy armor too thich = P2W, what?

 

And T-55A is similar to T-54, except that it's for better players who spam more HEAT, so of course it is costly to play.

I can't see the JP Type 5 Heavy ANYWHERE in the premium gift shop! How can this tank be pay to win if you can't pay for it anywhere?

press 2 = premium ammo

 Better players who spam more HEAT isnt this pay to win again?

T55a is similar to T 54 but it is worse than T 54, that speed and armor, so wg rewards players with a worse tank...

I mean you have to pay for more in order to play and win the game ... BTW those who abuse HEAT is not better players

It's a reward tank, not a premium. It also has better soft stats on it's gun than the T-54 so you can pen more of your shots reliably. It's also East-German/Russian so only 1/4 right that it's german???

Pressing 2 is not pay to win, you can buy those shells with in game credits. Doesn't matter if someone decides to shoot something with more pen, at least they actually did damage. Plenty of reds spam prem shells and don't pen anything...
 

Uh...no you don't have to pay WG a cent in order to win the game, a large amount of players earn their prem tanks through clan gold and buy a tank that way and spam it until  they can afford a game

What about players that abuse APCR?

Hey Flying_elite what do you feel about the type 5 heavy in the test server?

Losing like 6km top speed and 20mm armor in t55a in return for a slighty better gun? I don't think it is worthy.

 

Also, how do you prove a large amount of players earn their premium tanks through clan gold?  

Abusing any premium shell no matter heat or apcr is bad players. 

 

What I want to say is looking at how wargaming is altering the game, like introducing OP premium tanks for instance Scorpion G, making more new OP regular tanks like the Grille 15 while most of the old tanks didnt get buffed ( It took them so long to realize Grille 15 has to be nerfed) and now making an impenetrable Type 5 heavy in test server is making the game worse. Like how can you make a tank with no frontal weak spot and have freaking 280+ armor, forcing anyone facing it to fire premium shell, spending even more credits especially in playing tier X, WG tank balancing is so great.

 

The 'pay to win' concept is rooted in wargaming and this is the real problem, of course you can buy premium shells with credits and gain credits by playing regular tanks, but I wonder if the awful balancing keeps coming how much more can you pay for the game in the future in order to play effectively?

If you don't like it, then don't play it? It's still an extremely reliable tank and the fact that it can aim it's shots faster than the normal 54 means you don't need to rely on your front plate as much. The extra DPM is great btw

have you seen what clans do when they can farm gold? (not so much applicable anymore)
Eh a purist opinion. Think what you want but doesn't mean you're any more right or wrong than myself.

I didnt say I am more right and you are more wrong... it is just a harmonious discussion.

If you feel like a slightly better gun can compensate for the speed lose and make t55a better than 54 then it is fine.

And it also almost 40 tons lighter and has weaker side and rear armor both hull and turret.

Are you going to say no to gold? Flank it then its side and rear armor isn't like 400mm isn't it?
 

Making credit at tier 9, especially with Soviet high tier 100mm gun, are you serious? And yes, as replies before me, it's a reward tank.

If it is that easy to flank a tank...

I am not saying to make credit at tier 9 , but maybe lose less credit given that it is not as gd as t 54?

[iDd_Sloth]

I earn my credits on Tier 8 to pay for my premium shots on my Type 5 heavy ... So. How is it pay to win?

With your skills you can easily earn your credit to pay for any of your Premium rounds.

I'm not as good as you but I'm not in the red to pay for my Premium rounds.

And with reference to your skills and level of competency, surely you can find ways to flank a slow moving Type 5 Heavy.

[Quasinerdo]

The described P2W theory is that players will just pay for gold and credit packages, premium tanks, premium time etc to more effectively finance their premium ammo spamming.

 

No amount of wordplay will change the fact that paying real money reduces or removes the need to spend time "grinding credits". Even those of you that use this as a "Not P2W" defence play premium account and often run premium or pref mm tanks. It's about opportunity cost.... and if you put more cash in you can spam more premium ammo more frequently per unit time played.

 

Personally I'd applaud WG if they ditched premium ammo and balanced the game around the remaining ammo types. I don't like the pay-more-to-pen application that in many instances negates superior play by another player. A limit on premium carriage may also assist but ultimately be pointless or inherently discriminating on some high alpha guns due to the number of shots made in a battle.

[Genesong]

Its only Pay To Win if its only accessible with money. Gold shells can be bought with credits (Earnable) so not P2W. The T-55A and Type 5 can't even be bought with real money.
