It's a more mobile Tiger II H, it's definitely a good tank. A few other minor differences, like more track armor on the turret and an additional MG on the commander cupola for AA defense.

Plus, a solid premium bonus. It'll most likely be on sale for WT's Birthday in October as it's an older pack.

Yes, btw, any purchased premium you gain access to immediately. Though careful with higher BR ones that you may not have viable backup vehicles for, can make for a short game if someone gets the drop on you.

No. All the ammo is now in the rear turret so makes the tank nerfed and useless.

You shouldn't buy it until you get the lineup for it's BR, really. You can use it as soon as you buy it, thought. First off, you'll need experience to play it - 6.7 is a very merciless BR if you don't know what you're doing.

It's a straight-up OP tank where it is, but it's worth nothing alone - one mistake is all it might take to send you back to the hangar. Not to mention, while it is indeed very strong, the lineup for it - Germany 6.7, is easily the strongest lineup at 6.7 and perhaps the strongest lineup currently, in relative power, when compared to the rest of the game.

You'll get :
-Tiger II H and Tiger II 10.5cm for additonal heavy tanks(with the 6.3 Tiger II P as a good backup from a lower BR) - good armor, good guns, decent mobility.
- Panther II for a medium tank - fast, good gun, good hull armor, but weak turret.
-Jagdtiger for a tank destroyer, boasting incredible armor and firepower, but no turret and a mobility that is nothing to write home about. Also the Ferdinand and Jagdpanther as 6.3 backups, but they're not nearly as good. Also Jpz 4-5, a more modern TD with bad armor but excellent gun.
-Flakpanzer 341 for an AA, very well protected with good guns that can make short work of planes.
-Ru 251 for a premium light tank ( if you buy it) - fast, good gun, small profile, but very little armor.

If your goal is to grind all german tank tree, there is only 1 premium worth it, wich is Leopard1a1 L44 gun.
These 8.7 premium mbts are really good, they get stabilized gun with apdsfs rounds, wich gives them the ability to fight well both downtiered as uptiered, same thing you cant do with other lower br premiums, also 6.7 is bad place to be playing, you will be better at 8.7, so dam good br to play with those premiums, you can shoot and kill on the move with that awsome L44 stabilized gun.

I would recommend getting a premium heavy tank without a lineup with it. In an uptier that armor is meaningless and you'll suffer a lack of speed and pen, in a downtier you'll club but those are less likely. The key to heavy tanks is having a proper lineup so that you can start the match off by spawning in tank destroyers and light tanks to get the enemy's better tanks off the field.

If you were to get a lone premium I'd recommend high pen tanks with good speed so that uptiers are not noticed.

Honestly, its a great tank but you are better off getting the RU-251 and then if you want to buy another getting this tank. The RU does fine in a uptier this does not
