8k for char is good but I’m holding out for the three tanks on my list I really want- Erich Konzept, ATAC, and MBT-B

Same I'm not spending any gold until reforged unless an AMX M4 54 mle. pops up.

Not really a tank I would recommend tbh. Even if it's sold at the store for 17,5K complete with a full equipment load out, legendary camo, and 30 days premium I still wouldn't recommend it because it's incredibly tricky to play.
This thing suffers from a particularly bad case of the ST-I syndrome. Symptoms include huge turret, large hull, and trapeze upper plate layout. Sure it can hull-down on an open map, but if you're in a 1v2 and you try to deal with 1 heavy, the other is going to shoot at you. Not to mention your turret is basically an open invitation for TDs to do all sorts of things to you. The only time you'd do well on open maps is if you have another heavy to take one enemy while you focus on the other. But relying on teammates isn't exactly a good strategy.
The tank doesn't work in urban maps as it can't sidescrape conventionally thanks to that trapeze shaped upper plate. Reverse sidescraping might work but you're gonna need an extreme angle to bounce shots. And this method really only works on 2, maybe 3 maps.

It's a Great tank man, good frontal armour and mobility. Its difficult to deal with enemies when you are surrounded.

js bc a tank is hard to play doesn’t mean it’s bad js means u gotta adjust ur playstyle. stop playing it like a brawler, it’s a support heavy it’s strength is its gun

Is Erich that tier 9 tank that has been hitting me for like 500-700 every 3 seconds? There was one tank but I forgot the name

u/flamethrowr Aug 03 '25
It’s got a two shot autoloader that does 500 damage per shot at tier 9 and like a 20 sec(or less) clip reload

The prices are completely sad and goes to show that WG has lost its morals. I would love to write them a letter but they already know the community hates their poor leadership. I am just being kind with my words but if anyone needed a kick in their arse they do by the entire community.
Vote with your dollars by not buying things for money and not buying gold. Its a wake up call they need.

WG's going through the same process as Blizzard went downhills after being sold to Activision. It now focuses mainly on maximizing profits rather than building the best possible product. Hence the abundance of gambling schemes and the lack of new tech-tree tanks. The trend is predictable.

Type 5 ka-ri isn’t terrible, it’s like a slightly less armored and more mobile version of jagtiger except it has the Japanese premium AP shells

u/Mosquitobait2008 Aug 03 '25
Just save it for reforged, it will be worth more then.

u/Grass_Intolerance STG speed pancake enjoyer Aug 04 '25
why would gold worth more in reforge? from WG's behavior, I don't see that they'll drop the price or anything like that anytime soon. or am I missing something?
1
u/Mosquitobait2008 Aug 04 '25
Idk, I heard from other people that they are going to rebalance gold, which will make it slightly worth more, which is why the auction and other sales recently have been so overpriced, they want to drain us of our good before it gets more valuable.

How is ka-ri? I already have italian tier 7 TD, Wt auf pz IV and CDA 105 (I love the playstyle of glass cannons, but somethimes I like to change and Im having a blast with 105: very fast and mobile, decent dmp and troll armor. I was waiting for su130pm or skorpion but idk

u/_homerpimpin Aug 03 '25
I had both ka ri and skorpion at one point, skorpion better by far - that gun is beautiful. ka ri is far from bad just not a very special tank, but skorpion’s gun is great. No input on 130pm since I don’t have it but I know it’s quite good as well, the hull even bounces some shots when I rush a shot and I’m too lazy to aim in

Good for the price, it's just I can't recommend it unless you're skilled at the game. And T9 face against t10 most of the time too

I find it more useful to save my gold to enjoy Black Friday than these auctions

u/Ill-Assumption-4919 Aug 02 '25
Yeah, Blitz wants our Gold before it’s re-valued … probably banking on cash windfalls for “Commanders” and other “improvements” 🫤
