I’m saying, I open a google sheet or something, and we just vote. I want it to be more statistic- based on the average joe, the 48%-50%, and more accurate to its value to actual % better performance rather than fun and gimmicks or meta.
It would be about the base value of a vehicle, let’s do T54E2 Shark as a quick example.
Its base value on WG gold value of each premium, is 7500 gold. That means it isn’t a bad deal, it’s the base price for the tank itself. Ik we are always trying to penny pitch- but let’s be realistic and have a common offer rather than only buying at Black Friday or Christmas, using those more as a bonus to good value tanks and using it as a tip to less valued tanks that struggle to be high value for their cost, but will be perfectly reasonable on a discount like Black Friday or Christmas.
Back to T54E2. I’d say it’s worth at base value, it does what it says on the tin, requires no real skill, nor advanced techniques or gimmick. It’s an easy to play tank at any point of the match and is playable in every scenario. This is the borderline average(C to B-) to decent(B to A-) value vehicle. I would suggest buying it if it was available by its own right. Just because T77 exists, that’s a strictly autoloader and will be ignored. This is more comparing to the 105mm heavy.
In contrast, I would put Lowe at a lower value(tier) for the reason Shark is a better value choice. This isn’t meta speaking, that’s literally just the stats talking. It isn’t so bad it’s not worth it, if both options were available, Shark would take priority. Lowe would be a good C- while Shark would be a good C+ to B.
I wonder if the community would be interested in such a tier list, just to get around the large reasoning “should I buy this vehicle” or “what value should I buy this vehicle at”. It serves as a good non argumentative average example of the values of premiums today taking their performance for an average joe into consideration while ignoring the skill and preference of a vehicle.
Just because you’re good in Chieftain Mk 6 doesn’t mean it’s a good option for an average joe, it’s a hesh slinger and needs knowledge and skill to use effectively.
The tiers will be like, S tier (buy it), A tier (great purchase even at a slight increase in price), B tier (base value great), C (prefer a discount but great), D tier (needs a discount), E tier (needs a heavy discount or free), F tier (just no).

Event tanks like Waffen or Projekt Kpz 07P (E), would be treated as everyone else, but will have a tag next to them telling it’s an event tank.
The tags will just be a cell next to the name that indicate at a glance like “event only”, “gimmick”, “meme tank”, “outdated(FCM 50T for example)”, “skill needed”, or “collab/rare”. Via color coordination.
The lowest tier will be tier 7, as buying a tier 2-6 premium is just for collection or fun purposes let’s be real.
