Perfecting Preferential Premiums


I have my own opinion on this information/explanation about the state of the MM but will reserve them. Feel free to express yours in the comments.




Why is it even a problem?





  • Matchmaker: reduce queuing time, ease calculations

How come it took so long?


Initially, we took two different directions—or approaches.





  • Keep their machine after its specs have been improved

    I agree, not a fan of that gold surcharge if you don’t like the “improved” tank.

    Really you must pay for change????? WG very bad. Your customers are your life. Any decent company would exchange an erroneous product for free for a new one with similar or better statistics. And you say that prefential tanks was an error.
    You want remove preferential MM, but if you have problems with MM because use too tier IX tanks, make it MM+0, and those tanks will not give more problems to the MM with tier IX.
    You should never use an error of yours to make a profit

    What a bunch of nonsense. I understand that it can cause issues with the matchmaker.

    But anyone who plays tier 8 pref mm tank regularly like I do, will tell you it is much better than regular tier 8 tanks. It doesn’t matter if you are less than competitive vs other same tier tanks. You can always load gold for Defender IS3 etc. You are still better than atrocious tanks like the Tiger 2.

    Most importantly you are reliably top tier. The amount of stomping you can do in tanks like the is6 and 112 is insane. So much so that my recent games in those tanks far outmatches my results win rates and avg damage than tanks like the Defender.

    To say that mm tanks suffer is a blatant lie. You can even look at worldwide server stats to see that is not the case.

    There are only 2 valid arguments here :
    1. They are worse than other equal tier tanks (not always. E.g. a tiger 2 and other poor tier 8 tanks are worse than all the pref mm tanks except maybe the super pershing)
    2. It causes issues with the matchmaker.

    Do I have an issue with this being changed? As long as there is adequate compensation then I don’t mind at all. However the full info is not being covered by WG and as usual it is misleading. This is what actually annoys me.

    Talking about compensation….current compensation is a joke to say the least. It should be a straight exchange at minimum for another tank of the same tier or it’s own worth in gold. Up to the player. None of this trade in and add some gold bollocks.

  4. you do realize the gun mantel is still only 180mm with a hole behind it right? dont ruin the kv5 by doing this to it and having it be destroyed by tier 10 tanks
