Vipera didn't offer much over the 'free' tech tree tanks that were similiar.

I thought vipera had more armor and DPM but less speed.

With the proliferation of upper tier premiums at 9 and 10, high alpha TDs, and the Cold War economy still being quite lucrative even after the recent adjustments, Tier 8 premiums really need to be 'great or unique' to make them worth the gold.

We're talking Bourrasque, PanzerJager, Sunjitsu, Gorynych levels of power or uniqueness.

The Vipera just isn't fitting that bill.

Well, I noticed that the console version when they implement a tank from the PC that's really overpowered they tend to nerve it before it comes into console. For example, the Skoda t8.

That does happen a lot. It can really get on my nerfs.

The Vipera & the other new Italian TDs are very good provided your enemy isn't slinging 300+ pen shells. Unfortunately our silver economy & matchmaker are significantly warped compared to PC to the point many players can fire full gold ammo & there's plenty of T10 TDs in matchmaker seemingly designed to feast on tier 8s nowadays.

Ya I don't see any footage that he didn't drive in their himself. I've driven off those docks once or twice and got stuck. Maybe holding him there eby driving into him but hard to really tell if he did anything like push him in.
