Too bad the spaghetto doesn't come with camouflage.
It arrived just in time though, I almost buy those weeb commanders for WoWS

[Zmago5000]

No BIA tank packages?

This is 1st time after four or five years you are spamming premiums which have nothing to do with military parade. RIP trio, RIP mm battles full of progetto (it's getting ridiculous, more than 4 vehicles are premiums now days in VIII mm)

[iKnewIT]

All these three are very good battle units in right hands.

But... I'm a bit confused, tbc.

It seems, that the main wot.eu page becomes a dashboard of the premium shop only...

It's a pity....

1. Most of players do not have abilities to farm with regular tier 8 tanks.

2. There will be "the session" of FL next week, You know.

And where is our discount on tech tree tanks???

[Boris_Radijacija_86]

I will give my 2 cents on those 3 tanks.

 

Progetto:

Tried it on my brother account and i was not impressed. Sure autoloader is nice but everything else is mediocre.

Anything can and will penetrate you in any angle possible. Speed is ok i guess. But save your money and wait for IS-3A it is much better tank for your money so wait for it.

 

Lorraine 40 t:

Good speed, autoloader is great, reload time is good you can unload all 4 shells and make enemy life a living hell. Penetration is very good 232/263/50.

Paper armor, but it have good gun depression so you will need to hide behind hill hulled down. Big plus is unique camouflage.

 

ELC EVEN 90:

Excellent speed, excellent camo values (it can go over 1000 no problem with camo net and camo training for crew), 3 shot autoloader is nothing special but it can sneak behind enemy lines and destroy SPG's no sweat.

Problem is you see tier X tanks in your MM, but good thing is you can outrun them no problem. Price is good also.

Finaly, I have been waiting for either Progetto or Lorraine and now I can have both.

 

From what I understand, Progetto is just a better Pantera. 0.5s on the intetrclip reload can make a difference. Regarding armor, it may not be that good, but that applies to almost every tier 8 medium. Take a Centurion out of hull down (e.g. city map) and good luck with that huge unarmored box.

 

Lorraine may be harder to play as it is a plain paper and when you are on reload, you are very vulnerable. However I own the Somua SM and I quite like it (please note that it does not mean I am good in it) and many times I wish it could go faster. So Lorraine may be worth a try as well.

Proggetto worth money, imo best t8 prem medium and one of best t8 prem overall. And same time not OP. Perfect example of good balance like skorpion.

Hmm, I have the Scorpion G and I utterly suck with it. Not saying the tank is bad, I just can not make it work. However I quite like Pantera 44 so I hope Progetto will be even better.

I mostly agree, but for EVEN 90 the problem is not tier X but wheeled vehicles as they are faster with strong HE rounds, will put you back to garage in no time. That's from my experience with this tank..

[TheNightFox]

Nice tanks. But I have to say, this game is crazy expensive.

The lorraine is useless when sniping, the only way it works is point blank shotgun, but that is not gonna get you far with the paper armor. The reload is painfully long which will make you miss a lot of opportunities. 

The progetto is the best tier 8 medium by a mile. It can actually snipe and snap shot and it has the incredible flexibility of the auto-reloader which obviously requires more brain usage than steve possesses. The is3-a is borderline garbage due to the awful accuracy and aim time and in most cases you will be left with the last shot in the mag in which case it is a much much worse is-3.

- EVEN90 needs a DPM/Aimtime buff before it becomes truly competitive. DPM can be increased by giving the shells their normal 240 damage instead of the weird 220. Basically the gun should be similar to the old SP1C in terms of handling and DPM.

 

- Spaghetto is one of the most influential tanks in Frontlines and a very solid medium for randoms

 

- Lorraine requires a lot of skill to be used effectively but it's a solid medium as well.

THIS is true!

 

1. Too expensive overall,....1 single tank costs 40 or more  eur, bundled can be 80-90 eur   WTF?!,..while ussualy complete games cost (with future  updates included) for up to 100 eur

2. Too litle benefit from p2p products.... (now better with improved Premium but still, while paying i always feel somehow cheated, be it the empty lootboxes, or overpriced bundles with useless directives or equipment, or vastly discounted  only useless tanks , or vastly overpriced op tanks.

3. Discriminating towards old seasoned players (payers) , with no possibilities to spend already bought Gold, with no Gold refund for already owned tanks, with bad bundles (just look at the 5-6 BIA crew offers on RU an NA server,...) or with ever reducing rewards for mission completion, or ever raising demands for marathon rewards,...

 

my 2 cents,...

[undutchable80]

So, its only Thursday, but we have this "weekend" special already, yet still no news on the Military Parade Weekend discounts?
