Maybe if the game actually added weakspots to tanks.
I hate premium spam as much as you do. But as much as the balance of the game stands now, it's simply impossible to do anything meaningful against a lot of unbalanced tanks in regards to their armor. Being bottom tier is simply unbalanced as it is, and challenging enough.
Maybe try to put some rational thought into your idea. If premium ammo gets removed, they should add actual weakspots at the same time. No discussion to be had.
Try penning a hulldown 430U or Chrysler through their cupolas, I wish you good luck.
To be honest, I don't hate premium spam, I hate the way that WG has used it as a balancing tool, leaving players with the choice of using it and most likely losing credits or not using it and most likely only gaining a small amount of credits. And yes, of course you can still win a lot of credits using premium and win a lot of credits not using it, but not for the majority of players or the majority of situations.
My post wasn't meant to be rational, it was meant to be a sarcastic prediction of what will happen over the holidays as people have access to more credits.
"Maybe try to put some rational thought into your idea. If premium ammo gets removed, they should add actual weakspots at the same time."
You need to read my sarcastic prediction more carefully. I am not suggesting they remove premium ammo, I am suggesting that they make it the new standard ammo, and get rid of the existing standard ammo. Since the game is "balanced" around the premium ammo WG should live up to the fact that they messed up when they changed from "gold" to "premium" and use the switch as a new starting point for game balance.
- Is it a perfect solution?
- Does it address all in game balance issues?
- Will it avoid players complaining about this and other aspects of the game?
- Is it impossible to find reasons why it shouldn't be done?
- Will WG ever consider the idea?
(Hint: the answer to all these questions start with "N" )
Now, this post was in no means meant to be another "get rid of premium ammo, balance the game, etc rant", It was meant to spread joy and goodwill throughout the game during the holiday seasons.
So, be of good cheer, decorate your garage and watch out for Chuck Norris. The holiday season is here!

RNG at it's finest.
How did you find the original WG RNG program code design notes?
