I like brit tanks ( i know its swedish lol) , and one of my fav premium is fv4202 ,i like tanks with accurate guns ... BUT Ive spent a lot on this game this year and its 27 quid for some pixels when i already have a ton of premiums in garage....should i buy it ?

[lord_chipmonk]

Do you like playing the Cent I, cos its basically a Cent I. If you've already got the FV, is there any point? Do you play swedish tanks?

[saxsan4]

YES 100%

 

This is FV4202 but BETTER

 

Better DPM , faster reload, Better Shell velocity , Better armour and still very fast 

 

 

I just bought one and gifted my uni friend it for Christmas and I will say treat yourself!!! its one of the best tier 8 premiums / mediums 

 

makes lots of money because of super high base pen and looks amazing 

 

 

saxsan4 rating is 10/10 epic superduper tank

Let me know if you wanna play a 3x STRV 81 platoon.

 

I don't have one btw.

It's a Centurion Mk.I with improved shell velocity but worse engine health and hull traverse (and premium economy of course).

Also, keep in mind that the Swedish mediums from Tier 8 to 10 have 3 crewmen, whereas the Strv 81 uses a crew of 4.

[Mr_Burrows]

Compared to the Cent 5/1, which I have, it seems to be somewhat lacking. But I am merely comparing my pimped out Cent with the standard Strv81, so perhaps some numbers are a bit off.

The actual line is far from what the Cent is in terms of style. But... the Swedish high tiers have a 3 man crew setup and have the radioman and loader skills on the Commander. On the 81 the loader has the radio skills, and the tier 8+ Swedish meds don't have a loader. 

 

The Swedish tier 6 and 7 have the same crew layout, but again the commander is the one with the radio. So you can't effectively use all skills when training.

 

But again, regardless of what saxan said, as he loves all UK tanks and is biased  If you like the Cent 1, you'll like this. If you feel the Cent 1 is lacking like I do, I suspect you won't. Then the Swedish tier 6 for training might be more worth it, and cheaper as he has 100% the same setup as the high tiers, and the commander has the radio and loader skills.

Just dusted my old FV4202 for a ride and man, that tank sure is nothing in the wot 2020, there are just so many so much better mediums in tier 8 now. 

[lord_chipmonk]

The problem is that if you already have the Cent & FV, you've got tanks with the play style, and it doesn't really play like the Swedish meds and isn't a good crew trainer either. So...I'm struggling to see why you'd bother, unless you're a collector.

[Marco_Is_Legend2019]

Number of vehicles played in the last 4 weeks: 12

 

Nope, garbage. Not worth the money.

[guinty1]

Strange then that WG made a one off that put the all the band members of Sabaton in it,must be a tad bit crowded in there

Here's a guy testing it out, and he got it before Saxan, Saxan must be mad as hell, lol

1. the tank is... ok, it's not really trash. But it's not good either. Mediocre; at best playable. And it's not a crew trainer for swedish meds.

 

If you want swedish crew trainer, you buy lansen. Which is also better than strv. Also, be aware that crew trainers were kinda superseded by the training manuals. Assuming you bother to grind the credits.

 

2. lootboxes are 75 for 100 eur, 25 for 40(?) eur and then I don't know(it's 1, 3 and 9? or 11).

 

anyway, optimal is to go with the biggest pack you want. I.e. - not split in between the 4 different types of boxes. Unless you want to throw money at wg to complete the collections; which you can complete next year much easier anyway.
