These events are mostly for those players that already researched all lines and maybe have all reward tanks.

[bonsai]

I give it 1-2 months before we get the following from WG: "Sorry we have nerfed the Leopard as it is too popular a tank".

[AA-yxkf]

Every assembly shop I never folow threw with it. I keep saving my bonds and blueprints. Someday, a tank will come along that will make me really want it.

[Derguz]

I like the concept of the tank. Honestly I love my leopard 1, and this is basically the same with lesser speed. No armor, lesser speed and a great gun. Only issue I have is that reward tanks doesn't give extra credits.

[SSebson]

I love centAX, and i love leo, so getting vickers is a no brainer for me, it's also really cool that this tank actually exists, in contrast to other tanks released recently.

One huge thing about assembly shop is the game teases these releases by offering discounts on gold to free xp conversions. When it was 40 xp to 1 gold a month or so ago .. I got half the xp I would need. When those discounts are available it seems to confirm an assembly shop tank and it gives a huge discount towards them (if you use free xp .. I accumulate xp with my progetto and some premiums so if I need to convert I use the xp from those tanks)

Tempted as I have the Cent AX and Leo, but I think I'll pass.. Way too many resources to spend on something so close in performance. Hope the next shop in 6 months will be something more unique.

[akhandbharatiya]

Honestly tbh this tank is good and even better for veteran players but would ve abysmal in case of the tourists. Cause most of the newbies will die the first minute they will get in the game, and this tabk relies mostly on the camo, fine mobility and to be agile like gameplay in case of leo 1. It might be worth the credits but not freeXP or even gold.

[francoseitan]

I have the Centurion AX, i have the Leo. but how many battles you can play with a tank, ?? Is t worth to take my savings for a year and spend for ONE tank, play 25 - 50 battles and then let it rust in garage....??

[samjohnson]

Thanks Max. Good game, and good review.

[Belgianbanshee]

Well, yesterday I asked this question, this is the answer I wanted. Yes, I know it depends on me if I like it but I wanted some concise information from someone who plays the game better and longer than me. Which beings me to the following, and I hope you are open to constructive criticism, don't confuse your straightforwardness with arrogance, I don't appreciate when people call me stupid or ask stupid questions when I genuinely wanted your opinion. I love the straight answers you give, don't get me wrong about that.

[camrenwick]

I had no intention to buy it, but, it's British, it looks good, I have most tech tree tanks, I have a lot of resources that I don't need, so YEAH! I got the Vickers MBT mk3.

[thegreatape]

Damn... Kajzoo really did get shafted by the RNG 😂😂😂.

[MKY]

Me: I want the new super-duper assembly shop tank! (Vickers 3)

Mum: We have that at home! (AMX 30B)

[diatonicdelirium]

But... I already have a Leo1 (and the CentAX), what use is this tank then?

[ErwinRommel]

Me wondering why both QB and Max pick the left hand first field mod when its only improves the penalty of damaged ammo rack, engine and gun when they are damaged not protect them from getting damaged.🤨

[nossiro]

Very nice looking tank and a nice crossover between the M60, Cent AX and Leo without doing really anything better than any of them but still very nice nonetheless, if you have the resources and you really want to, go for it, otherwise, just get the Leo and the Cent AX, they are both amazing vehicles at their respective roles and in my opinion the Leopard still has the best gun of any tier 10, at least when it comes to medium tanks

[KOzcaa]

The Vickers 3 seems to be less accurate than the Lion is. V3 has very low dispersion and is not very accurate with my rng. Played the Lion very accurate, then the V3 and it is way less accurate. Is it broken on newish accounts? The V3?

[caniconcananas]

I had the resources needed to get this thing. But, as I'm playing WoT less and less because I'm playing World of Warships instead, I wondered why to buy this African Vickers.
Well. I did not have many good reasons to even start the game client.
But, wait!
There is a big good reason:
If I use my many resources to buy one of the 80, 000 units WG made in its factories... 😅
then perhaps, and only perhaps, there would be a tiny probability that some confused credit card owner won't be able to buy enough gold to buy the tank.
Very tiny, but a probability.
So, I bought it.
I played (very badly) two battles and resumed my artillery tour of duty until I got the first mission of the clan tour of duty. And then finished the WoT client and started playing WoWS.
But, as I saw three Yamato battleships in the same battle, an blinking yellow light started in the back side of my brain:
What if WG does not sell only 80, 000 units? What if they mass produced this Vickers Mk III in their secret factories at the Ural Mountains and sell 100, 000 units or even 1, 000, 000 units. Customers have no way to find out how many African Vickers were sold. So...

[Amrknu]

My point of view is this: I don't see a lot of Lion, 780, 452k, KPZ 07 (or whatever it's called) on the battlefield! I see a lot more reward tanks at tier 9!
The meaning? They seem to appeal solely to the FOMO people, just like Max said. And whoever got them, played them and got bored as they have no unique features.

Think about this for a second, maybe even check the tomato gg statistics then decide if draining your account now is worth it or, maybe, wait for something that is truly worth it 🤷‍♂
