- 1 Soviet M3 Light tier III light tank
- 1 garage slot in World of Tanks
- 8250 gold
The M3 Light is a rare premium vehicle which performs like the North-American M3 Stuart. The gun have a fast rate of fire but it is ineffective against heavily armoured tanks. This premium vehicle lacks the necessary view range to keep a safe distance from enemy units. However the M3 Light is very manoeuvrable to relocate position when necessary.
Now let's look at the advent calendar offer by converting each items value to gold. The M3 Light worth 850 gold and the garage slot worth 300 gold. Plus the 8250 gold included in the offer. The total value of the offer is 9400 gold.
The price of the 7500 gold package in the gift shop is €27.45. The advent calendar offer has an added value of 1900 gold for a difference of €2.54 when compared with the €27.45 package. A fully geared up M3 Light could include:
- Train 100% the 4 crew, 800 gold.
- Equip the three essential consumables (Small Repair Kit, Small First Aid Kit and Manual Fire Extinguishers), 9000 credits.
- Purchase equipment to enhance the vehicle capabilities (Camouflage Net, Binocular Telescope, Improved Ventilation Class 1), 650000 credits.
- Acquire 3 different camouflage for 30 days, 90000 credits.
- Load 60 AP and 40 APCR, 33080 credits.
All that incurs a total cost of 1102080 credits (or approximately 2755 gold).
The M3 Light generates average net income of 4834 credits per battle (source: vbaddict.net). Thus the player would need to play approximately 228 battles to pay off the incurred cost of 1102080 credits.
Should you buy it?
Yes! You should only buy it if you like to collect rare premium vehicles and you need extra gold to manage other vehicles in your account.
No! You should not buy it if you are just looking for a tier III premium vehicle. The incurred costs of the M3 Light is higher than the offer's added value. Moreover you could acquire other tier III premium vehicles (which performs better) for a lower price.
