East. But not for this price. Summer 2018 t44 100 was 22€.

Thunderbolt worth it? As a American medium crew trainer I mean

WG has realised that, this tank is good. So doubled the price.

[Negativvv]

T-44 100 has been on sale for less in the past, it's when I got mine...

Still it's arguably one of the best T8 Med Prems. Only meh gun depression and slightly weak standard pen.

Wich one was the good Sherman again? Thunderbolt or Fury?

[depressed_jellyfish]

Already have T-44-100, very good tank, I believe it's more mobile than standard T-44.
I'm still waiting for that Type 59 offer to pop up... someday

Personally I say yes. You have a bit more armour and are a bit less mobile than the Easy 8, but that means its a little more forgiving. Plus it comes with a BiA crew which is very nice. I have bought this tank 4-5 times already just for the crew (and gold compensation) alone. And training crews at Tier 6 is more forgiving than training them at Tier 8.

Personally I preferred the TB over the Fury. Fury is almost identical to the Easy 8 and the TB is little bit more forgiving due to the extra armour.

It's a comfortable tank. A bit on the slow side but the gun is good and a BiA crew is pretty nice to have.

I'll take one T-44-100 please, does 8.500.000 credits sound fair?

 

That's what should have been offered in the black market instead of trolling everyone with a T-34 B again, making people connect at 6am for nothing is just a big joke to WG apparently

I was hooping to come in black market for credits but this will not happen since is on sale in premium shop.

Since  the end of the year, 6 episode of frontline will come, this is best tank for frontline after projetto.

I was waiting for this and i bought it. Price is twice as was on december 2018.

I do not like the Thunderbolt. Very slow and the added armor is almost useless anyway. Add the pitiful alpha and you have not so much competitive tank. But that is my opinion only.

Same plus this tank has a "special MM" : always with higher tiers, even with the new MM. You can play it 5 times in a row and still with tiers 7 or 8.

Only fun thing is to mount a spall liner and laugh at arties.

The old marathon price with token inflation. I think it has been sold before at a more reasonable price but I can be misremembering. 

[ccoolliinn_1]

Both worth it, but the T44 100 is expensive. 

Got mine with a years premium for £65 plus a T28 F30.

[Cobra6]

Neither, the standard pen is not competitive enough for the tier. Especially not on the T-44.

It was sold with 50% off as a special deal there lasted a day I believe.

Good point but what mediums would you say are superior to the T44 100 at tier 8.
