Complete special missions for brand-new Italian heavies to earn stunning Roman legion-themed customizations.

Nice touch that the missions are doable in the T8 premium; for those that dont BP/freexp their way straight to the tier 9 / 10.

How long will the missions be available? As long as we have this patch (1.11.1), until the end of team clash, or some other date? I could not find this in the article.

Yeah, not mentioned in the article, but you can see in-game. It's until 28th of February. So plenty of time. If you have the Bisonte, you can finish them faster.

A grind in useless tanks for useless customizations??? Who gives a f***?

People that finished all the other tech trees?! Or that like the italian line (i don't, but i welcome this, as it gives me something to do until Steel Hunter or other events).

 

The italian heavies are clearly aimed towards skilled people. I've seen what certain streamers can do with them. It's not aimed towards you and certainly not towards me. Meet a skilled player with Rinoceronte and you might yell "OP". Both Progetto's have a great gun depression/elevation combo, while the Rinoceronte has the best gun depression (the gun elevation isn't great, but not bad either). Carro also has a great gun elevation and a decent gun depression. So useless, is a bit much. Situational, yes. Useless, not really.

The testudo skin looks amazing, It's a shame you give it only to those with trashante and rino. Seems like it will cost me 3 million credits.

[7th_Brigade]

How about - no thanks?

 

I'm not rushing through the tiers and paying full/fools price just to get one 2d skin.

[Duke_Harkonnen]

I have Bisonte and finished all missions with it - final skin is 3/10 and I don't like it.

What pissed me quite a lot is suicide style of playing that tankers have. My Win rate drops by 0,03 again. 

32games and 21 lost - even mine WN8 and other stats went up and above average.

[Simona2k]

interesting

[TijgernootTank]

Cant even see the 2d style in article  .

 

I guess we see Duke in low tiers now getting that 0.03 winrate back .

 

[StronkiTonki]

I'm gonna be really cynical here and point out that you're just promoting people to either free exp to the tier 10 or (unsurprisingly) buy the premium.

OH WAIT! People couldn't buy that tank. Only gamble for it. Silly me. 

 

Either way, I think it's a big waste of effort to lock these missions behind the premium and the tier 10.

I do have the free exp and blueprints to yolo my way to the tier 10 instantly, but I don't really see why I should waste those resources to instantly get to play one of the worst tiers in the game, when I'm planning on going through each tank to at least see how many marks of excellence I can get on them.

By that time I'll probably have researched the next tank, considering you get like 10k exp per match when combining all the premium acc boosts, personal reserves and x5 exp missions.

 

tl;dr: Make these missions for all tanks of a new branch. Don't lock them behind a premium and a tier 10. Thanks.

[romyrcea]

a bad joke heavy italian tanks

[Nailer]

Nice. Im doing these with Bisonte. Quite powerful tank and it seems like it will be over soon.

[yodelihiti]

To bad, cannot do this.

 

No on/off button on 5x

[Karasu_Hidesuke]

'Alea iacta est'?.... they trying to peddle Rubicon to us!

[Jin91]

Not worth of hundreds of euros (free exp + gambling)

[Duke_Harkonnen]
