Best budget ussr premium tank for grinding tech tree

[Руслан Еблан]

If i were to buy a ussr premium tank for grinding out the rest of the tech tree, which one should I buy? (I don't want to buy a $60 one)

low or midtier is not worth it because u can't research more than 1 rank above it (i mean u can but the penalty is pretty harsh) just like any other Premium.
If u don't want to pay 60 bucks for one u should have been better of buying one when sale was for half price.

depends how experienced are you are in general, if you have not made it to tier 6 before you are not going to have a good time in a tier 6 premium with just one vehicle to use against people with thousands of hours experience and multiple vehicles to throw at you, not to mention every team you get put on will hate your guts for being dead weight

i feel like these posts basically answer themselves, if you are not experienced enough to judge a vehicle for yourself you probably dont have any business driving it

now in the expectation of you soundly ignoring all that and just wasting your money anyway first of all wait for the sale that usually happens over Christmas/new years to get more bang for your buck

personal favourites depending on availability in the sale are the t44-122 which is an over gunned go cart and will comfortably carry you into tier 5

the object 120 which is a glass cannon sniper and can get you all the way to tier 6

or if you are particularly ambitious and sale price allows the 2s38 which everyone hates because it should be significantly higher br, and the t72 turms which is just a solid MBT, both of which can carry you all the way to the top

If you don't want to spent 60, wait for sale and buy with discount

If you want a high tier lineup (10.0) without grinding you could get the TURMS-T, 2S38 and and BMP-2M (Squadron vehicle, so free). If you want 10.0 CAS as well, Su-25k exists.

Alternatively Sweden has CV 90105, CT-CV 105HP (Which can be bought for roughly 20€ on the market) and Leopard 1A5NO. No good high tier premium CAS for this one though.
