The click bait was a wt only thing made because the players boycotted due to fpe and parts being too much and a cm of the game said why not not give everyone a free Abrams tanks and so the click bait was added for a reason
#M1A1 ClickBait
vague vessel
Cuz it technically was a free Abrams but you had to buy the bundle
I don't think wg would add the click bait to the game
Plus it's just a copy of the normal m1a1 Abrams
stiff ether
There are more Abrams variants we can get
Like the 80,s prototype project m1ttb
This tank was a test bed for a potential m1a3
This tank still survives to this day but is in poor condition on the interior

So, ignoring the obvious power creep this presents
This is like the most bland thing you could possibly add
stiff ether
Which one the click bait or the one I mentioned?
hot knot
OP's idea
hot knot
The "Clickbait" you're talking about is literally just an M1A1HC
Nothing even special about it
There's a LOT more Abrams variants that deserve to be added instead
stiff ether
Id buy the m1ttb could be a cool premium either as a season pass tank or something
Or could be a potential regiment tank

●XM1 Chrysler
●M1TTB
●M1 Thumper (this is NOT the Thumper in game, that is the CATTB)
●M1 AGDS (this was just a paper proposal but it's quite quirky and would be cool to see)
●A version with a dozer plow
●Any of the vismod versions, like the M1 KVT

@hybrid stone do explain the ❌ you left
I am curious
As to why an M1A1HC is more deserving to be added instead of any of the unique variants
stiff ether
Would the m1a1hc be any different from the tt m1a1

Would the m1a1hc be any different from the tt m1a1
Pretty sure the TT M1A1 is the HA variant

Here's something
I need to find it but a i believe there were trials for an abrams with a short 140mm in the standard turret
How about the CATTB
Think it had two gun options. It had a elongated M256. Or a the 140 I previously mentioned
In game it would probably be a really high pen abrams or a heavy hitting abrams.
For balance purposes I'd say the 140 should hit for less than the Thumper. But reload faster
hot knot
How about the CATTB
The CATTB is already in game
lucid folio
Really?
hot knot
Yeah it's our "Thumper"

Damn
Honestly I'd take a Frankenstein tank over another clone
Nato tanks are built oddly close to each other i think
So I leads to freaks like this
hot knot
From what I know, altthough called the Thumper due to shared components, the CATTB came a couple years after the M1 Thumper

Ah rip
vagrant hawk
Cuz it technically was a free Abrams but you had to buy the bundle
It was never free idk why you think it was
hot knot
Ah rip
Both are still very different vehicles so it's not out the window for the M1 Thumper to be added
vague vessel
It was never free idk why you think it was
i said technically

i said technically
Using your logic every premium in the game is free if you think of the money you spend on gold as a donation to the company
vagrant hawk
i said technically
Technically how. It was sold in a bundle for cash money what part of that is free.

if u read you had to buy the bundle hence why it was called the click bait
i did say you had to buy the bundle
grim badger
It's a premium tank, just like anything inn the WG shop or available in WT's shop.
vagrant hawk
i did say you had to buy the bundle
How does that make it technically free though i don't understand?
vague vessel
i said literally technically not fully free i did mention the bundle
grim badger
What Bundle.
grim badger
Show me the bundle. I play WT and WoT and WoWs - there was no "get the clickbait free" bundle
vague vessel
why did we bring the liberte into this?
grim badger
Because the Liberte is also a premium tank available for money in a tank game.
Just like the Clickbait
Here's the pack the Clickbait is in
Are you confused by the DOGE packs WT had last April Fools?

you got the tank buy paying for the bundle so players got what they wanted but gaijin called it the click bait plus it came with a decal 'got that free abrams' i never said it was fully free

What bundle most if not all premiums in warthunder that are sold for cash come with gold and premium time
Im confused

This looks a lot like you saying it was a free tank
vague vessel
i never said it was fully free
do i need to say the whole back story again or smth?
vagrant hawk
It wasn't free at all
grim badger
Your back story is wrong
vague vessel
Your back story is wrong
it aint
grim badger
You seem to have a half-remembered aggregation of several different events combined into a story you're telling.
Hell, I'm pretty sure the ClickBait pack was out before the review-bombing campaign.

but the review bombing wasnt the cause of the click bait iirc
grim badger
No, but the Clickbait was part of it because it was seen as Gaijin continuing to go back on previous statements to "never sell top-tier premiums"
While also making the grind openly worse
vague vessel
plus the bundle came with a decal literally called 'got that free abrams' which was a refrence to what that cm said im sure
grim badger
No, the "got that free Abrams" decal is a reference to an old comment on stream years ago where one of the Devs in response to someone complaining about prices saying "What do you want us to do, give everyone a free Abrams?" Which led to people saying "Free Abrams" on streams for like 2 years.
vague vessel
then what was the whole 'free fpe and parts free fpe and parts why not give everyone a free abrams tank?
grim badger
They also added a "Free Abrams" to the tech tree in the form of a squadron vehicle which is a not-quite premium in addition to the ones in the grindable tech tree.
The free FPE and Parts was part of the demands people actually had, because they were tired of being lit on fire and dying in a stock tank, while also being unable to repair at all until repair parts were ground out.
The free Abrams part was a joke.
You're familiar with jokes, right?
vague vessel
yh obv
ik it was a joke
but i was exaggerating when i said it was techinically free
grim badger
Your statement at the top sure wasn't designed to give people that impression
vague vessel
do u not know what exaggeration is?
grim badger
You literally state the Clickbait was added because of the protest, and it was to give everyone a free Abrams.
vague vessel
thats what i thought it was added for
grim badger
Your timeline is wrong, your statement was inaccurate, and now that you've been confronted with it you're trying to pull the "it was just a prank, bro" line
vague vessel
there was no need to make a big scene>
grim badger
If you hadn't argued when someone pointed out that you were wrong it never would have been a "scene"
vague vessel
someone couldve just corrected me it wasnt hard at all
grim badger
Have a nice holiday, boi
modest burrow
the Free Abrams was the XM-1 GM, which came bundled with gold and premium, the Free Abrams decal and player tag
the gold and premium account were worth as much as the bundle cost, so technically the Abrams (prototype) was free
anyway copying specific tanks from other games would be stupid and lead to negative PR so no thanks

The amount of low iq people in this chat is unbelievabl.

Suggest premium M1A1
