More collectors to be converted. UPDATED

[EL_Din_46]

EDITED: Tankisa's post has been edited to remove the tier V and VI tanks from the list. No reason was given. I've changed this post to match.
-----------------------
Tankisa posted a list of the next batch of premiums that will be converted to collectors in the next update. Updates usually occur on a Wednesday, 30 days after the last one.

The sale and repurchase price of these tanks will change from credits to gold, and the repurchasee price will change from 50% of the nominal value to 100%. Although WG had said that players would be able to repurchase tanks that had been sold before the conversion once at the old price, players have had difficulty doing that on older sales. When using a VRT ticket to support players hae been charged 100% of the nominal value. Players have reported that they could get the promised price after sending additional tickets. Hopefully this will be fixed.

If you can afford it, buy these tanks back before the update.

So remind us what the upside is to having a tank classified as a Collectors vs a Premium? I want to know why the "excitement" over such is warranted.

I am not so much excited about the change, although the only thing that really concerns me is that vehicles bought as premium retain their credit earning bonus, so as long as the credit coefficient still reflect that, I am fine.

It's more about El_Din as usual being like the most helpful person on this or any other game forum I ever met, and always makes sure to provide info for the community.

I don't see much difference from them on the battlefield either. WG hasn't said much, just that premiums need to stand out on their own. The only real effect on players is the possibility of those tanks being nerfed and the change in their sell/rrestoration cost from credits to gold.

There's more questions on the restoration changes, of course.

So...a bait and switch eh?

Probably the decisions were still being made. N0_name_just_luck made some earlier commentgs about premiums ending up being "15-20%." He's careful with what he says until there's a final decision, so I think they are still making decisions on some tanks.

The high tiers also seem to be their priority, and I expect there to be few premiums left there. That is where most of the premiums were anyway. I don't think they care as much about mid to low tiers to begin with.
