I couldn't be arsed to play any of the lower tier Brits. I started going up the med line, but got bored quickly. So I skipped all of them up the Cromwell. The Cromwell is actually quite fun.

Nope. RU server had those for a week or so and it's just as bad as it's been at the first day.
The thing's just increasing the gap between good players and bad players. Bad players don't have any silver whatsoever to purchase gold rounds, good ones can afford driving with 50+% of gold rounds and rape whatever they encounter.
Tier 8 premiums shine nowadays with the gold rounds. Type 59 became a box of rape, more than it ever was. IS-6, for one, became deadly. Etc.
those gold rounds borged up the balance... tanks that normally would have not been able to deal any significant damage suddenly become deadly to a tank they normally couldnt touch.
example: th T29's hull down effectiveness has been drastically reduced. same applies for the TDs that use their frontal armor to bounce incoming fire.
I kinda hope they roll back to making it gold ammo only. This is not a good change.
rich folks get even richer now, poor folks get pwned even harder. and it's only gonna get worse.

Huh. T29's turret has like 279 armour on the front, not counting slopes. Gold or no gold, it's still almost impenetrable, especially against the tiers it usually faces.
That being said, I also think that gold ammo is utter bullcrap.

Why would you even do that? The JagdTiger is already (as most tier 9s) rather cash-unfriendly and it certainly does not need the penetration buff. If you ask me, huge waste of cash. Sure, a few gold shells loaded for sticky situations are ok, but shooting those all the time is just silly.
