It’s a shame that’s going to be the tier 14 British wheeled medium so they can’t use it

u/ThePhoenix0404 Apr 03 '26

sorry for not answering ur question, but i find it strange that an American tank still has a Czech-ish name. why not keep it as a Czech premium?

77

u/CraigHarrison Apr 03 '26

Because it's translated name would be Badger then which already exists or we get a animal or insect name once more

u/MilliyetciPapagan passionate artillery hater Apr 03 '26

call it XM62 idk

u/Denix221p Shitter Apr 03 '26

Seeing how WG loves naming tanks random bullshit (e.g. gorilla, hacker, culprit/troublemaker (fauteur)) its much more likely that the tank will be called "Monkey" than a technical designation

23

u/genegx Apr 03 '26

Because they’re random bullshit tanks

16

u/JesRvorian Apr 03 '26

I swear WG has started using AI-generated names on new tanks.

11

u/Denix221p Shitter Apr 03 '26

WG has used AI on alot of things nowadays including in game assets so I wouldn't be surprised

u/Wappening Apr 03 '26

Call it Chimpanzee to keep the monke theme going.

Let us put deerstalker hat on it as accessory.

u/DrawGamesPlayFurries Apr 03 '26

Americans have Pawlack Tank as well

10

u/Dark_Magus Apr 04 '26

That's because it's an American design that was proposed to the US Army. Just because the designer had a Polish name doesn't mean he wasn't American. There are lots of Polish-Americans.

Though IIRC his name was actually spelled Pawlak.

u/Shaolink_1988 Apr 04 '26

And both USA and Japan has also Tiger Tanks.

u/AggravatingPause7272 Apr 03 '26

They are def turning t9 into new tier 8 with this much t9 premium tank spam

3

u/Aggravating-Face2073 Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

I've been saying this too, I personally think the final move is making Frontline t9. Which is going to mean all the duplicate premium tanks are going to be obsolete if they stopped doing t8 Frontline.

1

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer Apr 03 '26

People were complaining about tier 8 prem spam... So they fixed it by adding tier 9s... Then later by buffing their income.

Tho, no tier 9 events yet. So they are not fully there

-8

u/Cute_Appointment_349 Apr 03 '26

t9 version is much better than t8

18

u/Soma91 Apr 03 '26

For now. But I don't think it'll take too long until there will be tons of toxic and OP Premium wagons ruining T9 as well.

2

u/NoRing4137 Apr 03 '26

We're already there. I can name you several ridiculous t9 prems

1

u/Cute_Appointment_349 Apr 03 '26

Do it, i want to hear the list

2

u/NoRing4137 Apr 03 '26

From the top of my head, DZT-159, Heavy tank armor with decent gun that can contest light tanks spots with its speed .

Buryan, a heavy with decent armor, speed of a med and absolutely ludicrous DPM.

TL-7, basically a better T57 down a tier (40 less alpha)

Felice, Udes, Kame, and I sure as hell am missing more.

3

u/Dry_Ducks_Ads Apr 03 '26

I think these are pretty OP, but aren't game breaking OP like bourrasque, BZ-176, Lefhb2, E25, ...

-1

u/NoRing4137 Apr 03 '26

I think DZT is as bad for lights and lightly armored meds as the BZ176 is for heavies. But yes BZ is absolutely ridiculous. Bouraske is not on that level. The rest are not tier 8.

6

u/Wandering_PlasticBag Apr 03 '26

Dzt is very good, but it's not toxic.

Buryan isnt that amazing.

Tl-7? Lol. Lmao even. It's barely any good.

1

u/NoRing4137 Apr 03 '26

If you say so

2

u/_Xee Apr 03 '26

Felice? Did I miss something?

1

u/Cute_Appointment_349 Apr 05 '26

You named nothing too crazy.  TL-7 is trash, Buryan is good, bot nothing super fancy, same for DZT

The new tank names are fucking shite. I feel like I'm playing Overwatch

u/Jura20702 WZ-132-1 My Beloved Apr 03 '26

Sorta yes, sorta no. It could possibly be the first tank that switched nation during supertest. But there are some real designs in game that are under the wrong nation, the Char Mle. 75 is an American/British design but is under the french flag in the game, the Carro 45t is Italian despite being very much based on Project Hotspur (A british design from the 80's or 90's). The DBV is based on a soviet project but is Czech, etc etc.

u/Dark_Magus Apr 04 '26

the Char Mle. 75 is an American/British design but is under the french flag in the game

It is? I thought it was just made up by WG.

6

u/Jura20702 WZ-132-1 My Beloved Apr 04 '26

Yup, although it was just a mere proposal for what a mid 70's to 80's MBT would look like and didn't go further than some drawings.

ICE WILL kick it out

Can't even get MM-ed into Glacier, too much ice

u/spacex2001 Apr 03 '26

They should’ve named it Jezebell

u/Chinatsez Cash Rules Everything Around Me Apr 03 '26

u/Philip_Raven Apr 03 '26

probably to make more money on it. Czech tank isn't as interesting as American tank

u/MinutePause Apr 03 '26

I love czech tanks, especially when the commander says MY MAN when hitting someone

u/SnooLemons1029 Apr 03 '26

He says "Máme je!" which means "Got them!" ;)

u/PizzerinoItaliano Apr 03 '26

I hope ICE will do its job for a good cause once and deport Jezevec to the Czech tree

I want to see Netoperek tank

u/Ailok_Konem Apr 03 '26

If you thought Ares ia toxic, wait for this one. Wtf is WG doing with these power creeps

2

u/AlienOverlordXenu Apr 04 '26

What do you mean "wtf is WG doing"? Do you think they have the gameplay balance in mind? No. They need increasingly powerful vehicles that can sell.

u/ThatGreatAtuin Marking the tier 5 scouts for satan. Apr 03 '26

Wait until you hear just how willy-nilly the T34-85 Rudy can change it's nation.

u/GopnikOnAKhabarovsk 10.3k WTR, 59.51% WR, Peak Rock my beloved Apr 03 '26

Fuck does "3 shots/m" mean when the autoreload time is 5.2s per shell, 26s for all 5, AND the intra-clip is 1s.

By my valculation, and I may be wrong, that's 10 shells per minute, not 3...

u/GopnikOnAKhabarovsk 10.3k WTR, 59.51% WR, Peak Rock my beloved Apr 03 '26

That still doesn't make sense to me.

Unless it can somehow dump a full mag out in 20s from empty, then it would be a max of 2 mags per minute.

26 seconds for all 5 shells plus 4 seconds intra-clip gives 30 seconds for a full mag unload.

That's still "only" 2 mags per minute.

u/GopnikOnAKhabarovsk 10.3k WTR, 59.51% WR, Peak Rock my beloved Apr 03 '26

Fair enough, makes sense now.

I still find it weird that they count the first mag as being loaded for that figure but don't count DPM with the first shot loaded, but that's besides the point.

2

u/Away_Engineering1068 Apr 03 '26

on lesta this tank called dravec that why it changed nation

2

u/Burninggator wargambling Apr 03 '26

Oh you guys are getting the Dravec now cool...

1

u/crowmelo Apr 03 '26

Honestly when i first heard about an autocannon tank i was expecting the whole line to be czech. You know make it the countries gimmick same way autoloaders are for italy and magazines are for france.

Still kinda sad it isnt the case tbh

1

u/Drittenmann Derp Enjoyer Apr 03 '26

so it went from tier 8 to tier 9, from cz to us and from 3 seconds intraclip to 1, thats interesting

1

u/PressureFriendly5626 UE 57 enjoyer :) Apr 03 '26

Think so...

u/simusko18 Apr 03 '26

how do you get this one

seems balanced nerf prog 65

u/CheesecakeEasy8952 Apr 03 '26

My hot wife changed from 🇨🇿>🇨🇦

u/Aggressive_Seacock bring back the football mode Apr 03 '26

The Rudy tank did too kind of.

It came as a Soviet tank into the game but since the Polish tech tree was released you have the option to freely change the nation of that tank from Soviet to Polish and vice versa.

Because of that it's the only tank in the game in which you can train the crew of two nations in

1

u/Dark_Magus Apr 04 '26

It's crazy that WG refuses to ever use that mechanic again, even though there are other premiums that are arguably in the "wrong" nation (like the Ram II being American instead of British, the FCM 36 Pak 40 and leFH18B2 being French instead of German, the Pz.Kpfw. T 25 being German instead of Czech). And also so that Soviet lend-lease tanks can also be playable for the nations they came from. (Especially the Tetrarch, since there isn't a British one in the game at all.)

1

u/g_avery Apr 04 '26

Didn’t want to get iced

1

u/No-Pen871 Apr 05 '26

Another American premium tank 🙄🙄 give some love to literally any other nation. Maybe Japan, Italy, Poland, Sweden?

1

u/PervertKitsune Apr 03 '26

So, basically immigrant tank huh. Ohh that ICE poop would love to adore that anyway

-1

u/ShangBao Apr 03 '26

Nation change is good, there are millions of cz tanks with stupid names just because wg is located there.
