Chi Nu Kai for 14 dollars canadian, worth it?

[The Mad Hatter]

I just got a pop up offer for the Japanese tank Chi Nu Kai for 14 dollars, comes with around 2000 kitcoins and the shinobi camo. Is it worth the price?

[carelessjet2]

bad tank.
but it has the credit conf of a tier 8 in tier 5.
if your a good player it is a great credit earner.

it's a rare tank so pop up/store offers are rare.

The Shinobi has the second highest credit coefficient in the game and is a rare tank. While it can make more credits than most tanks, that only happens if you can play it well. When it first came out it sold for $100 USD and while the price has dropped it is still fairly rare and mostly played by above average players. For an average player I'd recommend tanks like a Scavenger, Krupp 38 D, High Score or Matilda Black Prince. Their wr isn't as high, but is still good and they are more player friendly. If you can play them well you might make good credits.

(I'm a collector, so I have all of those. My Krupp is also a little rare, but is my favorite tier 5).

Making a quick check it looks like the Shinobi last sold for 8,500 gold. I thnk the current deal is better than the last one.

{ $14 Canadian is about $10.40 USD.. What I consider a good price is 600 g/$1. That puts the cost of an 8,500 tank at $14 - if you've scored a good gold deal. (The current store price for 8,500 gold is $28 USD).

Since 1 kit coins equals 1 gold so that 2,000 kitcoins is worth 2,000 gold. That improves the price by $3.30. That makes the current price better than it was last time. }

Here's what Littlefinger had to say about the tank:

Okay, so basically, to sum it all up. It's a bundle that's DEFINITELY worth getting then??? As this is the CHEAPEST it's been, and on top of it being somewhat rare???

[carelessjet2]

trying to say it's not a good tank.
but you can make a lot of credits in it, also a rare flashy tank.

if your looking to add something new to your game. then no just get the skill tree one
"angry conner also has a high conf and offers a different play style i'd wait for that"

if your looking to add something cool then yes it's a cool looking tank that makes good credits. "really just a flex tank"

Thanks man, another very insightful comment. I think I'm going to try this out, as the dude above you wrote a detailed post regarding the conversion from dollar amount to gold, along with the kitcoins to boot. At around 14 bucks, it won't set me back too much for it to be regrettable if it turns out to be just pieces of scrap metal at the post game screen. If I can play this with a 51% winrate with it, I'll be content. Although all these posts have been pretty discouraging in regards to the performance of it, which blitzstars says otherwise. It comes out to just over 53% according to Blitzstars, making it the 12th place of all Tier 5 tanks. Not too shabby imo.

That's basically it.

I bought mine because I collect tanks when they don't have an outrageous price. There are better tier 5 tanks but this is a rare one, so I bought it.

My apologies for the length of my original post. I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to see what was going on in the forum. Posting without coffee may not be the best idea I've had.

overpriced?
i got mine from a lucky 5 box for $10.99cdn
so the kitcoins and camo even it out to a fair price for a tier 5.

i think $14 is the cheapest i'v seen it. "good deal if you can make use of the tank"

[carelessjet2]

side note, i find round wait time to be crazy long when i'm in my chi nu kai.
anybody else noticing this?

Nothing to apologize for, your lengthy post is what determined the green light to buy. Very informative, so thanks!

I played 3 games with it so far last night. The lengthy queue eventually wasn't worth it as it was a 15 minute queue between each game. The tank is paper thin and cumbersome to drive, reminded me of my frustrations with my Lorraine 40T, except that tank was agile and fast. The only positives is the credit coefficient and the nice aesthetics of the tank with the camo. The first game I dominated and dealt over 1600 damage and destroyed 3 tanks. 2nd game I straight up got wrecked when I was flanked and yet still got a good amount of credits despite being almost completely useless that game, and the 3rd game I dealt almost 1k worth of damage before the team sailed off into the sunset after I was a smouldering scrap of metal. All in all, I will give this tank a go again today, as the sample size isn't very big at this point.

nop

[Aelfric]

its a better idea than buying the wrong tier 8 though
