So, Wargaming announced that for the first time in years (4-6 years, depending on the source) they are going to sell the M6A2E1 "Mutant" tank as a one-day flash sale on April 1st.

The tank is basically an M6 tank with greater frontal armor and a huge gun mount. Fitch was kind enough to post it's tankopedia screenshot earlier for your viewing pleasure.



Now, this is all well and good, flash sales are nothing new (the advent calendar, for example, was just a string of flash sales). However, for this one "rare" tank, you're going to be paying $89.99.



Yes. $90. For a pretend tank. Better still unlike the other OP heavy tanks rolling around, according to those who have them from years past, the "Mutant" isn't even all that good- an up-gunned M6 tank, with a striking silhouette that draws artillery fire.

Now, you may say "Mak, you stupid git, so you don't want to buy it- just don't." To which I'd say "Yes, but that's not really the issue here." As several YouTube commenters were quick to point out...



All culminating in what I think surmises this vehicle and this event:



...and that is that.

It's not what the tank is, it's what the tank represents.

The bundle details are out, and it's not necessarily worse than I expected.

The "Store Topper" from the premium shop, more for posterity than anything.



Judging by the volume of backlash, this was likely the M6A2E1's last trip to the premium shop. Time will tell of course, so we'll squirrel away the memories here in the fortress.

As a final aside, I did get to kill one today with my Defender. The standard ammo went right through the turret without a problem. Meanwhile the M6A2E1 couldn't penetrate the Defender's armor, so that was the end of that.

Skorpion can pen the frontal armor too. Lol!!!

It is a unique tank, but it's combat characteristics let it down somewhat due to it's weaker armor, many weak points, and it's enormous size.

The return for the 2017 Advent Calendar, this time for less money, strangely enough:
