THIS GAME UPGRADE COSTS $150 IN REAL MONEY - Pay 2 Win?

The M26 T99 in War Thunder is a Premium Medium Tank for the US Tech Tree. This tank costs 7450 Golden Eagles but you can't buy it unless you buy or own the Calliope which is a further 9740 Golden Eagles. That adds up to more or less $150 USD!
What the M26 T99 is, is really just an M26 Pershing with some M8 Bazooka Rockets strapped to its ears. Resembling Dumbo, this American Tank is more of a hinderance than a help due to the fact enemies and machinegun your rockets and set you on fire!
The M26 Rocket Tank does have a plus side, though. The M8 Rockets are excellent against light tanks, open tops and SPAA's that get to close. If your barrel or breach is taken out, you still have a means to defend yourself. They also work great to block your enemies vision due to the amount of smoke and debris they kick up on impact. In some cases, they can even overpressure Medium or even Heavy Tanks.
The big question is: Is this tank Pay to Win?

    $150 for ingame purchases is absolutely insane. $15 would've been a stretch.

    As far as I know, they got rid of that prerequisite of the Calliope a little bit ago, but I'm not totally sure. Anyways, love your videos and have a great day, Odd!

    The real question is who would pay 150$ for ONE TANK... idc if it WAS the best tank in the game... 150 is way too much.

    Odd question! Did you mean to have your scope set to 100 on distance that first game? Is that some oddbawz secret...?

    I really love the new-ish animations of the smoke blowing out the barrel on a internal detonation.

    I was playing in a match where calliopes where sitting on our cap and bombarding the enemy caps from over the horizon of some hills. It was awesome. I spent most of the game just spawned into a AA to guard and watch

    "I love when I'm fighting a good opponent so its nice and fair," proceeds to unload 30 rockets into a cloud of smoke.

    All I can say about this thing is that it fights like a modern IFV with unguided rockets. High Survival rate against small bombs.

    Great video as always odd! I hope you do a video on the battle pass Ferdinand at some point even if it is a “clone” of the tech tree one with added track armor and premium benefits!

    So the idea behind these rockets was to provide light artillery fire support for infantry outside of the range of base artillery while on patrol in the Vietnam War. The racks were taken from the UH-1 Iroquois aerial rocket artillery version, also armed with an automatic 40mm grenade launcher ( currently I'm building a model kit of this Heuy,) when they were replaced.They were never intended to be used against armour,more bunkers and infantry fighting positions.
