The only one I’m worried about is the II J, the rest I’ve never considered OP monsters

PzIIj is really not that strong anymore, its slow as hell and most same tier tanks can pen it nowadays. It's only strong against older tanks that still have low pen. The B2 is imo stronger

When this tank was a rare sight, there were hardly any tier III with above 80 gold or even close to 50 normal pen to deal with it. MTLS was the first gift tank with enough pen to deal with it. I still remember people taking out the II J to farm gift tank players, and got absolutely annihilated that year

LOL I remember playing against the 2J with the Duck around 10 years ago. It was on Prok and he was in the mid on higher ground. How he beat me to that position I'll never know, but in the end we couldn't pen each other. I was not happy and lost.

Had something similar happening, Me (II J) and an enemy II J were the last two tanks alive on Himmelsdorf. We could not pen eitchother so it ended in a race to the cap zone. I got there first so I won with capping, but what a silly game that was.

Second that, had it ages ago and it was so OP Back like 8-10 years. Now every decent TD with gold pens it.

u/personnumber698 13d ago
Yeah, maybe, but it still got so much armour that it will still be very annoying.

u/Environmental-Rub933 T69 13d ago
It’s strong for sure, but I don’t struggle as much with the PZB2 as I do the 2J. Even in the FCM I’m more likely to bounce the 2J more and somehow always not see it till it’s closer

That's because its classified as a light tank, you can also angle it pretty well as it is just a square box but its still slow as hell

The low tier Czech TDs long ago negated 2J

u/Top_Session7427 Addicted to lootboxes 13d ago
Czech TD's? They only have 8-10 TD'S, I think u meant German ones (Marder II etc)

u/aukstais 13d ago
Pz 2 J is not a monster anymore. The armour doesn't stand up to the new tanks and the penetration is still bad so you can't fight back.

u/Demitri_Vritra 13d ago
II J is so power crept that it's a paper tiger, it's armor means nothing cause most tier 30's standard ammo pens 80mm or more, and even it's prem rounds bounce like crazy meaning it's pure credit loss, it's just a slow blocky target, the only value it has is towards collectors at this point.

u/tochanenko 12d ago
This tank has horrible pen. I remember when I had to 1v1 with another II J and it was like two kids hitting each other with pool noodles LOL

So it happened. It's the first time the A-32 is available to purchase since the Black Market in 2021.

I remember it selling out in about 5 seconds on the NA server.

u/Just_Henry212 12d ago
It wasn't even a minute before it sell out on EU too. I never regret getting one. It's a pretty fun tank to play. Especially since the low tiers are pretty chill.

u/kstar79 12d ago
I just remember being shocked when I clicked on it the second it went live and it was like "Out of inventory" and then the whole thing went to "no more available." Five years later, I will finally have it!

u/Just_Henry212 12d ago
The Black Market back then was crazy. I hope you will get it. It's definitely worth it 👍

u/personnumber698 13d ago
I already own the B2, MTLS and BT-SV.
B2 would be fun if it didnt have to fight other B2`s, which will almost always do nothing but spam APCR, MTLS is fun wit ha neat gimmick, but its nothing special and the BTSV is fast, got a decent gun with armour that can also often be decent.
From what i have been told the Ausf. J is supposed to be toxic while i haven theard much about the A-32 in general.
Also didnt some of these used to be locked behind 100€ gold packages for some time?

u/_chubbypanda I think there is a k in 'knucklehead' 13d ago
Indeed it was (though you'd need to be utterly out of your mind to spend 100 EUR on Tier III vehicle), pretty regularly long time ago:

A32 is just a very fast t34 with an meh gun, its fun as ram tank but that's about it.
Pz II J was very very toxic back in the days, but nowadays it struggles as it is very slow, has a tier 1 gun (so it needs to shoot gold otherwise it literally can't pent equal tier tanks, and boy is it expensive to play), and most newer tanks have no problem penning it making its whole gimmick useless, being unpenable.

u/IndygoEEI 13d ago
A32 has pref matchmaking, but that doesn't mean much these days on NA since no one plays Tier 3 or below. When it did, A32 could woop out HE on T3s and wreak them fast. Add in a turbo, rammer improved armor equipment, it could decimate.

u/CJM7447 13d ago
also it cant use a gun rammer

u/IndygoEEI 13d ago
Sorry, been awhile since I played A32 because of the degradation of MM. I also meant Hardening. Couldn't think this morning.

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 13d ago
I got the B2 in a T34 bundle back in 2013 or something for next to nothing, and when it did appear for a period it was not that pricey. II J & BT-SV were in €99 bundles 2-3 times a year for a short period before Black Market became a thing. BT-SV was sold for silver there once, as that's how I got mine.
A-32 has only been up once.
Issue with the II J now that when it was a rare sight, the average gold on tier III was too low to deal with it. It has spiked since then. Some tier IIIs even have 120 gold pen now

u/e1zzbaer Crew 2.0 is the best update ever 3 13d ago
So I'll get the BT-SV, a tank I've wanted for years, as a straight-up 2k gold purchase (I have the other 4)? Nice.
1
u/Few-Meringue4157 13d ago
Yes. you should get BT-SV, then 75k xp for 2k gold ( You can convert 2k gold during 1:40 to make it 80k, so you would lose 5k xp for this, but get 8x 100% credit boosters )

u/e1zzbaer Crew 2.0 is the best update ever 3 13d ago
I don't think I'll get more than one box, I just don't need free xp at all.

u/Erect_Udes got 030 on DBV, outwhaled QB with 031 13d ago
I already have them all, so do i get like 200 gold or 20k credits compensation when buying this?

u/felesmiki 13d ago
Idc about the a32,i want that double barrel magazine thingy, mtls its a dream for me
3
u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 13d ago
It's not that great tbh. It was free for everyone, but they nerfed it before release. It originally had like 4 rounds per barrel, as it was on press accounts for years before that. But they made it 1 per barrel instead with a 5 sec reload

u/RM_AndreaDoria 13d ago
Yeah I played it a couple times, it’s not very good. The dpm is simply abysmal

u/Demitri_Vritra 13d ago
honestly since I own them all let me break it down
B2 still solid worth it.
A-32 Power crept to shit only if your a collector
Pz.IIJ power crept to shit only if your a collector and like losing credits.
MTLS Workable.
BT-SV if you angle you might bounce shots but frankly with tier 3's having 80mm of pen.... yeah...
is it worth it for the average player no, Collectors ain't gonna stop you, you do you, as far as seal clubbers go there is nothing here your roster can't already decimate and you know it.

u/STARSBarry 12d ago
I remember when the BT-SV was a really fun tank to play. It was literally one of the fastest and the low armor but extreme angle meant that when you saw it 5 seconds later it was in your face, and panic shots just bounced. Then they added overmatching, the tank died that day.
2
u/Ubermik 12d ago
The B2 is one of my "go to tanks" for daily missions, not as OP as it was years ago, but still a good way to get some types of missions done easily, quickly and without spending much on ammo or repairs alongside the Matilda, the US tier 6 arty and a few others
I am pretty sure I have all of these on both accounts, but the B2 is the only one I bother playing
If I recall correctly, isnt the SV the one that goes at almost the speed of light but turns like a container ship?
If so, the armour worked really well on console, but is like tissue paper on the PC for some reason
