Supertest: T95/FV4201 Chieftain Changes
2 min readThe British Tier X Reward heavy tank T95/FV4201 continues to be tested in Supertest. Today he received some changes to make the vehicle more dynamic and a bit more different from the old version already in the game.
Please remember, this vehicle will be a Tier X reward vehicle, most likely one of the first ones to be available for Bonds to all players, or in the worse case scenario, yet another Clan Wars reward tank. Check bellow the list of changes.

I don’t understand why WG can’t add the real Chieftain in the game. Now we have one tank with the Chieftain hull, and soon another tank with the Chieftain turret + gun. What would possibly be so bad in combining these 2 into the real Chieftain? :/
Hi Harkonnen i have seen a post from you from last year about an alternative branch on british medium tanks that lead to a Chieftain MK6 “Medium”BT lol and i loved the concept, it really could make a great entrance with the chieftain and i wold only change 1 thing. WG already have a 2nd medium line until tier 6 so they can arrange a new tier 7 and then make the changes that you talked about, balance the Chieftain to enter as a med tier 10 and put the 2 tanks that you sugested as tiers 8 and 9.
Does anyone recall WG saying that they were no longer going to issue Reward Tanks for CW? I thought I had read that somewhere after the 907 release.
Honestly, I can back this tank being available for bonds. Hell, I honestly think that all CW tanks should become available for bonds, players have had their time of exclusivity but the problem with CW tanks is that such a small player base has them that their performance data isn’t all that reliable so it’s hard to balance them.
Truthfully, I just want to get my hands on the M60, T95E6 and Chieftain/T95
They could also make CW a bigger thing in WoT. I mean, it’s not so strange that CW is played by so few when the global map holds so few provinces, and where basically every CW clan that is worth joining has requirements around 3000 WN8. On top of that, the time window is quite narrow aswell.
I agree this is unfair to everyone else and just because its a chieftain all its going to do is cause more people to stop playing wot because they have no chance of getting one. NA clan wars is dead its not fair to us. And this tank is op and now they buff it . So tired of this crap my whole clan has stopped playing I think its time I join them.
I do. This is bs and its going to upset a lot of players because they cant get one even more so because its a really really kinda op tank . Wait now it is buffed its op. Like to point out this tank has almost has the same stats as the chieftain MK 6 . This is going upset so many players at a time when wot is really fading really a dumb move on WG part.
Another issue is server size. Sure EU and RU dont have any issues and NA is fine for the most part, but the Asia server sees about 1.5k during the day, (150 people on the Australia periphery which I play on). Even during peak the Asia server as a whole only sees about 5k players, 1.5 of which are on the Aus periphery so it makes even organising any form of clan wars a h***le.
I honestly don’t even bother trying to get in a clan anymore because of it so as a solo player I would much rather tanks for bonds even if it takes longer for me to get
Kind of confused… theyre basically making this tank like the one already in the files… so why have they even bothered making a new version of it? Why not just change that ones stats…
For that matter… why not just m***age the stats of the Mk. 6 Chieftain currently in the files and add that to the tech tree? Theyve been beating aroundt he bush so god damned much… its really quite annoying.
Like I know WG make odd decisions sometimes… (most of the time)… but this one in particularl just feels right out of bizzaro world… theyre literally remaking a tank that they already made 3-ish years ago…
How is this tank OP?
