Autumn Golden Armory Boxes – Tanks (Yay or nay)

Seems like WG has announced (yet) another loot box fiesta right after the WT event.

It's Time to Open the Autumn Golden Armory Boxes (worldoftanks.asia)

Here're my thoughts on the tanks you can potentially gamble for (and probably why you shouldn't)

TL-7: Tier 9 premium TD with characteristics at odds with its intended playstyle. You have good gun depression but a gigantic tumor that tier 6s can pen. Accuracy is trash – you'll probably need a full gold loadout to top the damage tables. Load time is horrendous (similar to the GSOR 1008 at tier 8). At least it continues the trend of tier 9 premiums that are weaker than their tech tree counterparts (and makes the venerable T30 look good by comparison)

Jagdtiger H Prototype: Same chassis, JP2/Ferdi gun. Going to be easily farmed with gold

Udarniy: Probably one of the only tanks worth shelling out for. Essentially a Defender 2.0 with better mobility and armor, trading off with worse alpha.

Strv 81: Just your standard Centurion derivative. A known quantity

Turtle Mk. I: Another known quantity – you either love it or hate it for its hull down tortoise playstyle

ISU-130: Totally outclassed by the SU-130pm and the T-103 at this point. Only advantage is its DPM but good luck putting it to use with the fixed chassis and poor armor.

IS-5: You can pick this tank up in the bond shop. Not sure why you would because the gun handling is atrocious and the only saving grace is the old IS-8 pike nose armor.

VK 75.01 (K): Looks good on paper, turret is wildly inconsistent at bouncing shots. Only selling point is the 490 alpha. A very meh tank compared to the E75 TS and even the Mauerbrecher imo.

Kampfpanzer 07 RH: High skill ceiling tank – hard to play but can excel in the right hands at counterscouting duties for those who can toggle shell types in the heat of battle..

That's it – what are you thoughts? Are you going to be picking up any boxes this round?
