idgaf when premium ammo or consumables became open to the public, if they are so far out of reach of the public being able to use them nonstop, but others are completely okay with opening the wallet to do it, then thats pay to win, simple as that. I cant shoot all premium ammo, and have chocolate, prem toolkits, and extinguishers on my tanks without going broke pretty quick More then likely, just like ptx said, the instant you see some stat padding purple my old friend, he is more then likely shooting nothing but gold ammo, so yes, im being outpaid not outplayed.
As for the supposed "heavily armored tanks", thats a myth, there are only a select few tanks in the game with armor even worth a damn, the rest have to be so fucking angled at all times it still doesnt help anyways, theyll just shoot a weakspot, making all your work for not anyways, cough cough, kv-4.....
