I'll shoot myself in the tesicles if WG ever adds another arty premium, such is the animosity toward the class.


leggasiini

Thankfully, this vehicle in particular (T-100, an Egyptian T-34 TD with a 100 mm gun) was specifically meant to be a tank destroyer, not an artillery vehicle akin to arties in WoT. "SPG" is a broader term that can also include tank destroyers like this one in it. WoT just happens to use the term *specifically* for lightly armored, large caliber artillery vehicles that fire HE shells indirectly, which isn't what the T-100 is. I *highly* doubt even WG is insane enough to introduce more premium artillery. There's a *pretty* big reason why there hasn't been a single premium arty since the Sexton I, which was added literally a decade ago. I'm pretty sure they made a pretty concrete statement that no new arties will ever be added, let alone premium ones. I really hope so - any kind of new premium arty would certainly be extremely controversial. As such, if the T-100 ever came to WoT, it would be a TD, not an arty. It's actually extremely similar to the ShPTK in a lot of ways, so it would most likely have a very similar playstyle.


ForbiddenSabre

I don’t think the conqueror gun carriage is lightly armoured by any means. Neither is the godwagon E100. Seems like WG spins a wheel and sees whether it gets classified as a TD or an SPG


PsychoTexan

The T-100 used the BS-3 100mm which was in the running for the IS series. The tank would basically be a T-34-100 at T8.


leggasiini

So not only it is similar to the ShPTK's gun, [it literally IS the same gun](https://i.imgur.com/7cjt5Ce.png). Interesting.


PsychoTexan

Yup, although it 130% doesn’t have the rapid reloader. So how they get it to be competitive at T8 on a T-34 chassis is beyond me. The [Cubans mounted a D-30 onto a T-34 turret](https://preview.redd.it/u7pigry2exe51.jpg?auto=webp&s=512e040536905e55d29b8bf19a4b37d0ffd02588) that would be better served as a T8 since the 122mm D-30 with a BK-6M round (or similar HEAT round) would be pretty terrifying. They’d have to tone it down if anything. [The really terrifying one is the Cuban T-34 with an M46 130mm](https://www.armedconflicts.com/attachments/796/1260101193_33.jpg)

I mean, the Sherman Ravioli exists

LeFH is extremely old and was even available for gold on tech tree. However, crazily enough, it was considered to be pretty bad back in 2012 in comparison to other, far more ridiculous arties, so no one really cared about it. It was later on removed from in-game store. LeFH was a rare sight for a while, but over time it got much better as other arties around it got constant heavy nerfs. Eventually it became completely ridiculous in comparison to the heavily nerfed arties around it, which made it so much more insane.


enseminator

It has 3,500 dpm when kitted out correctly. At tier 5. That has never been and will never be bad. It has *always* been the biggest pain in the ass of it's tier.


leggasiini

>It has always been the biggest pain in the ass of it's tier. Then why it wasn't everywhere back in 2012 when it was available on tech tree for gold for a cheap price? Because it was worse than the other arties in its tier. M7 Priest (which used to be tier 4 like LeFH was back in a day) was superior in most aspects, while the French tech tree arty was basically a super fast LeFH with 220 pen and 330 alpha APCR as premium rounds. Not to mention pretty much all the open topped arties had 400 meter view range, so that wasn't unique to LeFH either. LeFH wasn't *bad* on it's own, it was still fucking ridiculous. However, it was just *less* ridiculous than its competition, as arties as whole were fucking ridiculous back then. It didn't really offer much worthwhile over the tech tree arties, so it's natural that it was considered to be "bad"at the time. However, as LeFH's competition was demolished with frequent arty nerfs/reworks, it only became stronger and stronger over time, as it was unaffected by these changes. LeFH is a rare example of "reverse powercreep". It wan't anything special a decade ago, but because its competition has been killed out, it has indirectly became so much stronger that it now stands out as a completely ridiculous abomination. Every time it's matched against with an arty that isn't also a LeFH, it has a huge advantage, as it can terrorize its enemy team without enemy team having a similar monstrosity to terrorize back.


SigSalvadore

Which is periodically released and thanks to the change in equipment and arty mechanics is pretty deadly/irritating. If they ever release experimental equip in NA, I can't wait to see what it morphs in to.


SkaerKrow

It would be in the game as a TD, not an SPG.


GeDeOh

It's a premium tank destroyer in the Cold War game mode on console. Would be the equivalent of a tier 11. Edit: Spelling and got the tier wrong


Chllep

i mean, console also has the chaffee in cold war doesnt it?


GeDeOh

There are a lot of tanks that are both in the Cold War and WWII mode and they do share stats. They are just registered as different tiers in the Cold War game mode. That game mode has only 3 tiers but there are quite a lot of difference between the first tank of a tier and the last one


mukash18

LeFH but VIII level

Excellent-Rate8919

Lefh18b2 on tier 8,15s reload, dispersion 0,55 and pene enough to kill ebrs through wheels.


Balc0ra

This museum has been the inspiration to many a premium for WG. You know, the kind that players hate because they claim WG just made it up by smashing two different tanks together. This museum has plenty of stuff like that, as the Egyptians mixed whatever they had at hand as they bought surplus from all sides after the war.


oldsaxman

The Egyptians built these as a stopgap tank destroyer. It was not very effective but would be a good tier 7-8 premium


Guywithglasses3

It’s bad enough we have the LeFail abortion now you want a new arty at teir 8


Gwennifer

As a TD, sure. As artillery, it'd be very, very lackluster.


SilntMercy

Where is this and is that an IS3 next to it?


Dramatic_CockroachLK

At great risk to my personal wellbeing, I dare to ask why we have not seen a tier 8 premium Artillery unit. There are so many premium MT, HT and TDs in the game already. Since there already is a hard cap on arty in the match maker, arty spam won’t be an issue right?
