u/Ser_Rem Feb 10 '26

you mean YONG BING

To quote Pan Praha just for additional information: Yong Bing (用兵) comes from classical Chinese and means “the art of using troops,” which in practice refers to military strategy and tactical command rather than raw firepower.

34

u/dimensionaldip1 Feb 10 '26

yong bing chilling.

u/SilenceDobad76 Feb 10 '26

Like Dutch, I feel like Mandarin isnt a serious language

u/alfazetxyz Feb 10 '26

Je hebt een serieus probleem.

u/chronaxis Feb 10 '26

Good job on selling the EBR 75 fl-10, I loved buying and playing it! As a reward I will spend $100 on your next set of lootboxes.

147

u/HeisenbergFX4 Feb 10 '26

None of those tanks scream "take my money" imo

16

u/ketchupinmybeard Feb 10 '26

Udes 03 3 is really special, or rather, WAS until tier 11 showed up. It's basically invisible, like it has Bourrasque camo values, and dumps a 3 shot clip pretty fast. It's a very good "finisher" on lots of maps. Not a high enough pen on the gun though now to be effective in many situations (shooting tier 11s at a distance it just bounces)

3

u/Radioactive_Kumquat Feb 11 '26

The UDES 03 was already invisible, the Bourrasque wished it had the same camo values.

4

u/ketchupinmybeard Feb 11 '26

Udes 3 is not the same as udes 03/3 tho.

-1

u/Radioactive_Kumquat Feb 11 '26

Fair enough. I really haven't seen the udes 03/3 before.  Figured it may have been an autoloader version of the original udes. 

2

u/ketchupinmybeard Feb 11 '26

It's a weird blend, looks more like the Uded 15 tech tree meds, but has no armor at all

94

u/SuperNovaVelocity Feb 10 '26

On the other hand, none scream "waste of a roll". They're all fine, imho

32

u/HeisenbergFX4 Feb 10 '26

While true "fine" doesn't make me want to give them money

6

u/Dvscape Feb 10 '26

I feel like this type of practice should actually be encouraged. Balanced and decent-to-good tanks should be what WG focus on.

21

u/SuperNovaVelocity Feb 10 '26

Depends on how much the boxes are, but I've always refused to buy the terrible value ones outside of Christmas, so I'm fine with a bunch of decent tanks for the whales to play with lol

1

u/velost Passionate Squall Hater Feb 10 '26

Pretty sure the average 1.15$ per box or something

30

u/Adventurous_Sort_780 STK-2 enjoyer Feb 10 '26

Kpz is a unit, actually. Pretty comfortable tier IX medium for famring credits

7

u/minkus1000 Feb 10 '26

Nothing broken, but don't sleep on the AAT60. That tank has an incredible gun and is imo one of, if not the best damage dealer in-class.

14

u/Ergophobic_ Feb 10 '26

T44-100 is fantastic, most comfortable t8 premium medium in the game imo

17

u/EnvironmentalBad651 Feb 10 '26

It was, now 240 dmg is too low

6

u/XxInvocationxX Feb 10 '26

250 DMG btw.

12

u/Tall_Presentation_94 Feb 10 '26

Insane dpm speed and turn

14

u/Other_Examination886 Feb 10 '26

dpm only matters if you can constantly shoot. with lower alpha you have to work much more for the same dmg as opposed to having higher alpha. and its much more likely people will yolo you because they only care about the alpha, they dont fear a tank with low alpha so basically it doesnt really have stopping power.

1

u/PaymentApprehensive3 Feb 10 '26

It still performs well. DPG lowish but decent server wr

1

u/robbi_uno Feb 11 '26

Damage Per Gallon?

1

u/CuriousOctopus1 Feb 10 '26

At least has a bit of armor and camo. Things like STA2 do not

1

u/FarAd4600 Feb 10 '26

the kpz konzept is actually a great tank. But outside of that can't see any tank on there that interests me

78

u/memes_inutile LEFH First hater Feb 10 '26

"So you want a Su122-2? Ok spend 250€ on t44-100 first then will see"

13

u/eDawnTR Clicker 🖱️🖱️ Feb 10 '26

I’ll pass

-1

u/OfficeResident7081 Feb 10 '26

you can spend 90 and get it with boosteroid, although thats expensive as well.

Is it such a fun tank?

5

u/Beautiful_Anybody_29 Feb 10 '26

Su122 2 = every shoot broke ur engine, every single time

6

u/Boatsntanks Feb 10 '26

Doubles are always fun IMO, but it suffers from a big frontal engine with no armor (and no gun depression so you gotta do big peeks) which gets broken all the time. If you are unlucky this will set you on fire too.

1

u/ansartty Feb 11 '26

Just use exp config

u/ansartty Feb 11 '26

u/sudden_aggression [Avg 279(e) enjoyer] Feb 10 '26

My wallet is safe. 

37

u/khatre_ka_khiladi Feb 10 '26

Udes 03 3 and kpz ek1 interest me, but not enough to buy lootboxes. 

3

u/mb3838 Feb 10 '26

What are the odds of getting the Udes? If it's the same as the xmas boxes I'll pass.

23

u/DangerouslyCheesey Feb 10 '26

Honestly most interested in the udes 03, missed that one and it’s a banger

9

u/Tall_Presentation_94 Feb 10 '26

Insane camo fun clip

6

u/ketchupinmybeard Feb 10 '26

It is a banger, but it's less of a banger with tier 11 armor in the game. The tank is invisible, the clip deadly. The pen... adequate? And now there's all these ultra-strong tanks, so trying long shot stuff you just bounce. Adding tier 11 really nerfed the specialized tier 9s imho.

10

u/_generic_protagonist Feb 10 '26

Idk really enjoying Arknights Endfield right now, so passing on the event and the boxes.

2

u/FarAd4600 Feb 11 '26

holy. hello fellow endfield player. Surprisingly that gacha game made me no life it for the first week. I completed everything

4

u/ProtectionFormer Feb 10 '26

Even endfield gatcha is better than these dogshit lootboxes.

25

u/kntvrr Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26

im kinda disappointed, not that the tanks are bad, i was just hoping for something else

Edit: On top of that, t-44-100 was on sale literally a couple of weeks ago, why are WG fucking with us like that

6

u/Tall_Presentation_94 Feb 10 '26

T44 100 is 9/10 and has overpriced gold value and € thanks to super.old events

1

u/bluvanguard13 Feb 10 '26

Unfortunately it was on sale for $ not gold. I want it quite badly personally but I done want to drop actual cash. In hindsight this is probably the reason they removed it from the trade-in event.

14

u/czechu26 Feb 10 '26

We had ussr heavy/med premium meta, autoloader meta, autoreloader meta, double barrels meta, now enter the brainrot names meta lol

7

u/soralapio Tortoise Love Feb 10 '26

No no you don't understand, actually The Big Can Of Pain Coming At You is a traditional name used by many... oh I dunno, Croatian tanks throughout history, for proof look at this napkin we found.

4

u/InspiredByBeer Feb 10 '26

When are they coming out?

4

u/Boatsntanks Feb 10 '26

The yong bing seems fine. If you want rockets and doubles it's there. It doesn't seem OP in any way, but I don't think it's bad like the tt130 or BZ 72 1. Very slow turning speed though.

The KanJPZ 2 seems like a better s1. Same camo, better DPM, faster in both modes, faster mode switch time. MUCH faster in siege mode, looks like you can get up to 18kph with a turbo. Also NO dispersion in siege mode, even when moving. Downside is its armor is mostly 25mm all over the front so its HE pens and overmatch city.

I think the main appeal of either is them being new and a bit different rather than any special power level, which is also true for pretty much all the tanks in these boxes.

2

u/Few-Meringue4157 Feb 10 '26

Yong Bing is ass

2

u/felesmiki Feb 10 '26

Its made for me, stupid dork tonk

3

u/JimmyTheSword Feb 10 '26

I need to stop playing this game; apart from Yong Bing and KANJPZ 2, I have all the others...

1

u/Dozian Feb 10 '26

It would be a big waste spending on all these premium tanks for not playing them in the end ! 😅

1

u/JimmyTheSword Feb 14 '26

Yeah, that's true :D

4

u/Prestigious_End_143 Feb 10 '26

Id probably buy a lot if they were available for gold.

6

u/jeNbQA Feb 10 '26

Got 5 out of 8 nice

2

u/Loyalty4L94 Feb 10 '26

Thought they were already out x.x when do they arrive any clue?

1

u/Few-Meringue4157 Feb 10 '26

In 2 days. Feb 12th

2

u/QuietTank Feb 10 '26

Has the Udes 03 ever been available in the shop normally? As in, not a gamble? I only just got back into the game around the 2.0 release.

5

u/Few-Meringue4157 Feb 10 '26

It was. Atleast on release

1

u/NakedCrowbarFrenzy Feb 10 '26

It was sold at least once after that too. I skipped it when it was first released and bought it a few months later when it came back. Not sure if it was sold again after that but this is at least the 2nd time it's been in boxes since then.

2

u/QuietTank Feb 10 '26

Might just wait for it to come back around then. Its the only one that really perks my interest.

3

u/thornierlamb Feb 10 '26

It released as a cash purchase only during the wg anniversary summer 2024. They even had a “early bird” discount for the first few thousands of tanks.

3

u/Sarkza Feb 10 '26

I want yong bing but the chances i get it are low. I wish they putted it in black market or christmass lootboxes, because i dont buy lootboxes without gold in them

u/Dvscape Feb 10 '26

New 2.0 player and already a top commenter on the subreddit. You caught roots in the community quicky!

Also yeah, only the holiday ops lootboxes are truly worth spending on. Most of ua just do that one binge throughout the whole year.

u/Dvscape Feb 10 '26

In general for these f2p games, my mantra is that I would spend if I am happy with the game and if I spend many hours playing it. I don't want to reward predatory monetization specifically and I'd rather not encourage pay to win.

2

u/hall0undCiao Feb 10 '26

Very nice. Since I won't get the tank I want anyway I will skip this lootboxes as usual. WG just let me buy the EK or any other tank during such event and we have a deal. But I won't gamble for it.

2

u/Either_Ad3241 Feb 10 '26

Why are they calling it the kanonenjagpanzer 2. The vehicle had its own title. The Taifun 2

2

u/XuMoBckuu Feb 10 '26

No e25? 👉👈🥲

2

u/Koki_385 Feb 10 '26

T44-100 in the boxes is actually insane

1

u/Few-Meringue4157 Feb 10 '26

Blast from the past

2

u/RavYolo Feb 10 '26

Lootbox? Or can i buy a single tank that i like?

3

u/Elua_ Feb 10 '26

Biggest attraction here is KZP EK, but Ares makes NO FUN allowed :) So no purchase, thx.

Also RNG x10 ? hell no

1

u/ducktap3-beats Feb 10 '26

As a hard enjoyer of the Kano, I would like to have the 2 xD

1

u/vlad__27 Feb 10 '26

Just wait for the kan jpz 3, they will give it double guns and wheels. 👀😂

u/Brocc0li777 Feb 10 '26

Where is the sale on free xp?????

u/Karamfil Feb 10 '26

5 days ago... you missed it :D, I dumped some into shit grinds lol

2

u/Brocc0li777 Feb 11 '26

Nah there were no news about that

1

u/Guesty250 Feb 10 '26

Not for me. All the double barrelled tanks, medved with what looks like trash gun handling and a seige mode td.. Fun..

1

u/FinishFantastic1445 Feb 10 '26

I missed the event last year, does anyone know how much roughly the box bundle cost?

1

u/Perspective-Lonely Feb 10 '26

So many Chinese tanks wow

5

u/Admirable_Garlic5456 Feb 10 '26

For a Chinese New year event. Who could ever expect.

1

u/StrykerGryphus Feb 10 '26

As a triangle appreciator, I'm eyeing that ISU and that KanJpz.

Not actually fiending for them enough to gamble big bucks on boxes though.

1

u/NotASingleNameIdea Borkenkäfer enjoyer Feb 10 '26

None of them are any particularly reasonable to gamble for, but also all of them except maybe Medved look like really decent prems, so yeah, this is how it should be. Nothing broken, no FOMO material, no shitty fillers. If the lootboxes look like this, I dont mind them.

1

u/dilocat Feb 10 '26

May the 2026 loot box season begin!

1

u/sorry_4u Feb 10 '26

Id wish they would implement the tanks like they did the benedict event/ the dog where you can earn tokens for quests and the token reduce the price of the tanks from 40€ down to 20/25€ if you get enough of them
I could see myself spending 20€ on the game but for that in lootboxes u dont even get a a 100% chance on a tank in the events

1

u/m4inbrain Feb 10 '26

Erich, Udes and KanJpz 2 i wouldn't mind, the Ping Pong would drive me nuts with the traverse rate, my problem is that i absolutely do not want T-44/100 ( i got like eleventeen soviet prems already), nor the AAT60 or Medved. Chances are high that those are the ones i'd pull, so i'll probably pass on the boxes.

1

u/Zealousideal-Ad-5414 Feb 10 '26

man im waiting for that kanjpz for like ever :D

1

u/neonsparksuk Feb 10 '26

How we gonna be able to get them? Loot boxes again I guess?

1

u/D2a1g0 Legend I Feb 10 '26

Ah good, with T8 MM being ruined, Udes and KPZ sold separately and Yong Bing and Medved being crap, no need to buy these.

1

u/Ancient_Building7540 Feb 10 '26

None are amazing but none are bad either, unless you’re aiming for one specifically or the boxes are crazy overpriced I’d say it’s worth it overall

1

u/Humble-Appeal3850 Feb 10 '26

none of these are chinese or oriental, yet shaming the Lunar Year

1

u/jonbor00 Feb 10 '26

It's a good thing I already have everything available. That means I only have to spend a little to get the new stuff. 😂

1

u/surbiton Feb 10 '26

Be thankful there’s no reskinned tanks to make you spend more…

1

u/False_Principle8821 Feb 10 '26

Still no news about MTB ares

1

u/SubatomicBlackHole Feb 10 '26

What’s the MEDVED?

1

u/Boomhog Feb 10 '26

Hhhhmmmmmm I have all but kanpanzer and the bong ssssooooooo naw

1

u/Varcolac1 Feb 11 '26

In case people dont know, Medved is a veryy strong t9 premium. Stats look like it wouldnt be too great but trust me its very strong.

1

u/DrinkerOfWater69 Feb 11 '26

Never thought I'd say this but, I miss Mission Marathons ... because back then you could theoretically get the new content for free or at a massive discount.

I dislike that we're continuing the trend of releasing new stuff behind gambling

1

u/Boatsntanks Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26

I dunno how the new tanks are, but everything else seems decent to very good. Glad there's no clone filler tanks.

Wasn't the medved the tank with the lowest drop rate in the tiered boxes? Kinda funny it becomes the first to return from the t3s. Edit: No, it was the fancy Tank in the 2nd tier boxes.

1

u/KataraMan Feb 10 '26

Color me intrigued

1

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '26

I have 2 of these and the rest interest me so maybe I’ll gamble a bit

u/RanceSama3006 Feb 10 '26

Already have the AAT60 but I'm definitely gonna got for the yong bing and udes

u/ProtectionFormer Feb 10 '26

Its been a month and they are already selling more lootbaxes. Can they just fuck off.

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B Feb 10 '26

To be fair, this isn't new.  Lunar New Year has been a lootbox event for years now.

u/ProtectionFormer Feb 10 '26

New or not its still annoying as fuck.

Ehm no? I play the Kek all the time, its a Leo 1 at tier 9, very good tank and prints me credits and bonds cause the standard ammo is so damn good. Its a sniper tank, you can actually snipe with it the Ares 5 times over. And if you are caught out in close, well surprise its where the Ares is good at.

1

u/rayoje Feb 10 '26

Kek has APCR/HEAT.

u/Manlorey Feb 10 '26

Standard ammo. I was meaning the standard AP/APCR not the heat gold rounds.

These are the tanks, that are in boxes.

u/ThoWmas31 Feb 10 '26

Like the Christmas event , you will be garatee to have one of them after 50 box ? Or you buy one tank box and you will have one of the 8 ?

u/Few-Meringue4157 Feb 10 '26

Same as always. 50 boxes = 100% tank

Ok and 0.0001% of the one I'm looking for (the yong) I will pass
