       Mine won't be as rare, but I am okay with that. Love it and glad
       others get a chance to finally get one. :thumb:
       Not sure how I feel about the Tank Bowl thing. Really not.
       :sceptic:
       And the Tiger 131 will be crap with the current setup, as it
       will have to rely on prem spam to work. Why play it over the TT
       version or Hammer? It needs its hit points and dpm nerfed, the
       historical 700 HP engine, and make it a VI for like 4K gold.
       Then it wouldn't be yet ANOTHER tier VII Tiger but, in fact, a
       freaking historical one that everyone has wanted.
       Just a dumb tank as it is currently and WAY overpriced. IMHO, of
       course. :grin:

       Tiger 131 does get Pref MM.   Not sure if that helps or not.
       Is it the same 8.8 as the Jagtig 8.8? If so it will have decent
       RoF & Pen values.    I saw RaiBot01 tweet yesterday with link to
       Tiger 131 TaNKopedia page, but its down now.

       No, it is not the same gun. It is the short 88 that is on the
       VK36. Pathetic for a tier VII heavy, as it will have BY FAR the
       lowest standard and premium round pen at that tier.
       It's stupid.

       Does WG even listen to the testers(Beta, super, or whatever)?
       WTF would they think this is ok?   Meh...maybe the sheeples will
       buy it.    :thumbsdown:

       I just got the WG supertest announcement for the PS4 yesterday,
       so this has not been through the "ringer" yet. They have made
       changes to near release vehicles before, but frankly they cant
       do too much but add or subtract some points here or there to
       boost/nerf a vehicle. Making the short 88 a Tier 7 gun would
       require major improvements and throw off other tanks with it.
       Let's face it, this is another crap tank offering which will
       appeal to a small minority of players enamored with the comics
       who do not know how to compare stats. Doesnt seem like a viable
       model for profit improvement for WG, but it must be working
       since they insist on doing this repeatedly despite the forums
       denouncing each vehicle they dump on us.

       @RugbyL  -  I am not impressed.   The view range is horrid for
       Tier V TD!   Even if its camo stat is buffed.   With the
       existing armor, almost anything Tier 6 will vaporize it rather
       quickly.    I am not impressed by the setup.  If it had longer
       view range, OR a derp like gun then it would be ok.   I  saw one
       this morning and it popped up after firing, I was in T67 2 shots
       and boom!
       Personally  -  The way this game has been changing, I have been
       staying away from fixed turret tanks.   Better play with
       turrets.   :twocents:
       @ Rugger - soo they are leaking content on purpose early for
       feedback, then re-adjusting?   The WoT forums is a feeding
       frenzy right now.   People are pissed!

       Same as a Stug III basically, but does get PM. Used the
       Wargaming Wiki to compare but they have some errors in the gun
       numbers....
       Tier
       Damage(HP)      Rate of fire (rounds/minute) Dispersion(m/100m)
