they have became shameless at this point.
for Years when the subject of balancing was Brought up pointing at 279e and Chieftain Even when they were asked By CC's and Content Creators the answer was always the same.
WG: "instead of Nerfing Chieftain we want to buff every other Tier 10 tank to match them"
Then can someone ask them why are you nerfing the "kranvagn"? And they will answer "balancing" then why aren't you Also nerfing "Vz.55"? answer to why WG is nerfing "Kran" is very simple "Removing a unprofitable OLD tank from the Queue"
they will say "But we are Buffing AMX 54" for "balancing" then why "Rinoceronte" isn't getting Buffed? answer to this is also very simple "population of Rino compare to AMX54 is Higher which mean less people will Convert Gold to Free XP or rush to Buy gold and Convert it to Free XP and get the Tank"
the fact is "kran" is getting nerfed Because its matching Chieftain in random and making them less profit.
and if you are a Casual gamer even if YOU are a paying costumer who Bought several Premium tanks from WG and want to have some Casual Fair Game in Tier 10 and don't have time to invest in Clans or in general Because you are employed then you can go F**k yourself because no matter how much you are paying WG is never enough…
YOU can never pay WG enough to Play a Balanced game if its not making them more money
my personal Conclusion : i Sold all my Tier 10 tank and put the Bond and Bounty equipment on my Premium. I'm a premium Warrior now
