I don't think it's a console exclusive. The tank was teased on PC as well I believe. 

 

It's a Console exclusive and doesn't exist on PC.

It’s recycled PC content on console*

~That’s what is meant by ‘Console Exclusive’

I think we're on the same page. The standard 160 pen, 240 alpha gun is good... The APCR is flat out great. If you're gonna make a derp-cat, and do it right, I think you bastardize the 105 mm from the T29. 320 alpha, but with gun handling and reload appropriate to the tier. It would need to be a short barrel and they could monkey with a lower silver pen standard round (like the German short 88), higher alpha standard HE with adjusted pen, and the prammo could be anything they want for flavor. 

 

Then you'd have two cats with very different guns and play styles.

Really? Here it is on the PC website.

Yes, I'm very sure. That's just a background art. If you read the article it is for these tanks:

• VT14  
• VM4 Improved  
• VRam II

Agreed, however they implement it makes the difference. I want a Tank Destroyer, not a Tank Denter...

You're telling me PC is using art for a tank that will never exist in their game? I'll bet you an Italian reload buff that's wrong.

Gosh I hope it doesn't just have the same gun as the Tier V Sherman derp.

 

I see what you did there...

I don't know, while a Hellcat with a 105mm derp gun could be bad, if it were given the right ROF or if its gun ends up having higher alpha damage and/or pen than a normal 105mm it could also potentially be one of the most enjoyable premiums released.

 

This is the same balance team that decided the Stubbs with its 25 Pounder howitzer at tier V was overperforming and so drastically reduced the reload while the exact same howitzer sits on the US Sexton I at tier III with indirect fire ability as well as a much faster reload completely untouched. So I have very little confidence that this thing will be improved in any way, shape, or form from the 105mm howitzer on the tier IV TD.

Wait, PC took console art?

Are they going to be taking the AMX Chaffee next?

The old VK 28.01 was a very fun tank.

Not great by any stretch, but a genuine joy to play.

 

This could be similar. Or they could just Turtle it and make it the Dreadnaught of tier VI.

To be fair..... Console uses PC-originated art quite often in marketing backgrounds.  

 

I wonder if PC players would understand the AMX Chaffee the way we do.

That's just it, while the Stubbs was nerfed pretty badly the US Sexton is still just as OP as always, which in my mind means that the Hellcat could be anywhere between great and terrible. As for now I'm remaining hopefully optimistic.

Either of those options would certainly make a Derp Hellcat a very fun tank. I mean, if it were given some absurd ROF like 10-12 RPM with the Sherman's gun it might not be great but could be fun, and of course there's always a chance that it's given higher pen than any other 105mm howitzer as well.

I wonder if you qualify for the end of year reward if you buy the 2M I completed two of the three spring games and I’d hate to miss out on it just because of that. Though I’ll admit they aren’t scary to face...in a Dreadnought 

 

No you wont. It is calculated by the ammount of games you finished, not premiums tanks you have.

You need to finish atleast 10 out of 12 games during the year. But even if you missed a few you can still buy end of the year reward like you did with IS-2M.

Every game's op you finished grant you 10% discount. So completing 10 of them basicaly give you 100% discount.

That's what I was asking in the previous post. If the stats had been finalised or not.

 

.....obviously not

Hey, they only announced it 2.5 months ago. Please lower your standards. Give them at least 7 months. They are busy with Commander Mode and also more mechs.
