AMX 13 57 WGL Camo not removable

What's next? Sponsor trademarks?


I kid you not, the European Wargaming portal just announced that the AMX 13 57 Wargaming League camo wont be removable and it's impossible to add inscriptions, emblems or camouflage patterns to it. However, they are giving you for free and by default the 5% camouflage bonus.

I don't think free camo bonus is worth looking like a pariah, but hey, if that is your fetish go ahead and order that Leopard/Tiger t-shirt too!



This is bad marketing, the tank is good but very little part of the community is actually interested in WGL. It reminds me of Google forcing Google+ down our throats, but in this case we don't have to take it and I personally lost any interest in acquiring this tank. No Rita moneys for Serb Space program this time.

  1. Well maybe the later version in the shop will have the normal texture again. It will, won't it? Serb? Oh f*

      DAFUQ, so you wanna say evveryone who is going to buy it is a stupid freak?
      To be honest i dont really give a f@%$ about tank fashion.
      The only reason why i buy camo just for the +5% camo & if i would care about virtual killing machine look, i would download me some "local" skins.

      (no offense, i like you but i dont agree with you on this point ^^)

    4. If I wanted to say that who buys the tank is a stupid freak then I would say that who buys the tank is a stupid freak. Did I said it? No.

    5. I agree w/Rita. UR a stupid freak if u support lameass WGL and drive prem tank with huge WGL bumper sticker on the side. P.S. I bought the Sims and played WOWS for first time and its a BLAST! I have decided to only play usa ships!

    6. BTW: I sent a ticket to WG so i expect this will be chgd to normal camo upon release.

    7. No worries, if you buy 13-57 from the store it is going to be the normal one, only the WGL rewards will be like this. They are even a separate model in the game files, with different names( the normal one is called AMX 13-57 and this one AMX 13-57 GF).

      Delete
    8. Sorry to disappoint you... but I did buy the tank from the shop and it has the lame banner on it.. so.. IT HAS THE LAME BANNER ON IT. Anyone can point out the custom skin for this tank... I don't even want to see the lame banner in my game.

  2. So is there a way for NA server people to buy this tank? Even if it comes with hideous camo.

  3. they are selling the tank or giving away as a reward for something ?

    if the latter, then its okay I think. it's kind of "was there, won this" thing.

    but if you have to buy it, then yeah, it's stupid as hell. I should be paid to advertise something, not the other way around.

    1. They will be selling it and giving it away as a prize.

    2. they will sell it only for april 25/26 so its kind of i was there(motherfuckers :D).

  4. I will buy it anyway, just for the 8clip,1 sec between shots gun. It's whats on the inside that matters rita ;)

    1. having a WW2 tank running on the battlefield with a website address on it is just stupid.

      But who knows, maybe one day anyone can pay for advertisement like this. Imagine that, playing wot and logos all over the tanks: McDonald's, CocaCola, Brazzers, .... wgleague.net is just a beginning :D

      Delete
    2. im not touching it because i generally like to have a choice in whether to add camo or not to a tank but forcing me to have this ugly ugly paint job on an otherwise good looking tank? nah they can go suck a dick. besides couldnt look at this stupid paint job everytime i drove it would severely piss me off.

      Delete
    3. Paint job or not they will still sell by the boat load

    4. I want a huge Coca Cola logo all over the side of my Maus :DDD

    5. I want a frikin humongous "Kraft durch Freude" neon lights sign on top of my Pz. Kpfw. II J combined with a leopard lingerie style camo inspired from here: http://bit.ly/1DJu87C ! Shut up and take my money WG!!!!!!!!

      Delete
    6. :D it should also give a camp bonus because your tank could be mistaken for a cola truck and so on :D

  6. I don't normally sell premium tanks, but this one goes into the digital bit bucket no matter how good it is because that WGL logo looks STUPID.

    1. Sucks. Sorry had to say it. That thing is the Russian version of T26E4 with better camo. But the mobility is no where near the same as a high tier medium not to mention will see tier 10 as well. Even my SU100Y is much faster and that thing is fat. I so wanted a decent medium but apparently the Type 59 fiasco has WG trembling in their feet to actually release a mobile premium.

      Delete
    2. I thought it was amazing. Maybe it depends on your playstyle. Nice armor, nice mobility, nice gun, etc.

  8. Just edit it out with a custom skin and you retain your camo bonus. I don't see a problem here.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I would never, EVER, play a tank if it looked like that. When will WG realise that the vast majority of their playerbase couldn't give the tiniest of shits about WGL or E-sports in general?

    1. I agree with you for the most part. BUT, if WGL or E-sports is helping to maintain the game by making it profitable to continue as a business THEN it is helping me to continue to play it. If you have the means you can alter the dds Skin file to anything you want. There may even be downloadable dds files shortly. Keep playing and have fun!

  10. I'm still getting it. Free camo and uou say WG never gives anything for free...

  11. As a modder, it's pretty obvious on what to do there.

    1. inb4: I pretty much don't care how other tankers see my tank, I'd just want it removed for myself.

  12. Rita.. And what about RU server ?? Especially the one from shop... ? Is it gonna have this shit on as well ??

    ReplyDelete
  13. Maybe I'm mistaken, but i was under the impression that only those who took part in the WG league would get the one with the emblem on it. I could have sworn that i saw a WG article that stated that those who participated would get a "special edition" AMX 13 75. I thought it meant that the rest of us could buy the one without the emblem.

    1. On Asia server,I did buy the tank from the shop and it has the lame banner on it.. so.. IT HAS THE LAME BANNER ON IT. Anyone can point out the custom skin for this tank... I don't even want to see the lame banner in my game.

  14. I can't wait till the Tampax E100 is available...shut up and take my money!

  15. I don't want World of Tanks turning into Nascar! There shouldn't be any forced advertising on Tanks or anywhere else or in any Game.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well, that's a huge NO to this tank.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Eh, at least it isn't like the 'MURICA edition of the T26E4 for Xbox. Yuck. I do have to say that I like the green paint with the white stripe, but the WG stuff does annoy me. Oh well, it's still a good tank, and if it's priced right, I'll still go for it :)

  18. You can always mod your skins....

  19. Why is everyone complaining???? This is an EVENT tank given away to those attending WGL 2015. This is not a premium tank for sale in the store.
    There will likely be an AMX for the premium shop without the camo and its bonus.

    You guys seriously complain about stuff without even thinking about what you're complaining about... It's a FREE tank for fans of WoT ESL... No need to whine about a gift... Do you insult your friends when they gift you something you didn't want? I think not...

    1. LeL, nice nickname, Ape, suits u really good. Do you even fucking read portal announcements? Let me lighten up your mind, neanderthalian retard: "You can either attend the event personally to grab it or you can purchase it in the Premium Shop for a few weeks around the Grand Finals. Stay tuned for more information!"

      Delete
    2. Nonetheless... Why whine about if you can either get it for free or buy it... No one is forcing you to buy it. Also, I'm pretty sure this special edition Amx will only be around for the event. Then there's likely going to be one without the camo....

      Also, do you shout and whine at the salesman when he gives you a bag with the brand of the shop you just shopped at for the stuff you bought? I don't think you call him a prick for you carrying advertising around.... To you punch the car dealer for selling you a car with the brand on it? I think not.

      Think before you open your mouth and insult them based on their username instead of actually making a point... GG dude... GG

    3. Ape you are the most hideous creature on this blog. Can't you see no one likes you? :)) You are stupid and always comment without reading and having NO clue about the subject.
      Get a life or at least inform about the topic!

    5. Guess who's back. You have no idea how to have a constructive argument do you? Instead of actually dropping knowledge or an actual reason why I'm "so wrong and dumb" you just bring dumb, offtopic insults. I think you know you have nothing to counter me with so you just go offtopic instead.

      Are you dumb? Or are you just trying to troll? I dearly hope for you that it's the latter...

    6. @ ApeWachingTV I agree with you, very few things are truly free in today's world, and if your given a free tank with camouflage that works on all maps, then don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

  20. WOW, how is it that you are backed by WGA and so harsh on WGL. Once the ads of SUBWAY , BURGER KING, and others start showing up upon login or before each match will you boycott WGA too? Its coming.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @ApeWatchingTV: No need to go on rampage-mdoe here. I quote WGs own article:

    "Interested in adding this little fella to your tank collection? You can either attend the event personally to grab it or you can purchase it in the Premium Shop for a few weeks around the Grand Finals. Stay tuned for more information!"

    Knowing WGs lazyness, I highly doubt they will make a seperate version of it for the gift shop. As the tank is only buyable during the event, it will probably also have that ugly event camo. But hey, there will probably be a mod with a different skin out in no time. And if not, I'll fire up Photoshop with DDS-Plugin myself and give it a suitable nice camo. In case I ever buy it of course.

    1. I'm pretty sure they'll sell us a non-WGL at somepoint since renders of the AMX without the wgl emblem have already been made and leaked if I'm not mistaken. So unless they'res some other reason I don't know about, a non wgl one will be around too.

      Nice strategy though. Leave people in the dark about how this tank will be sold. People will buy this and if the other one comes out they'll buy the other one as well just to get rid of the camo. GG

  22. Do tjhey even want to sell it?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Can someone suggest to Wargaming to put the ad on the inside of the tank?!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I wanted to buy this tank (and i have not spend any money yet), but definitely not with this banner! No money for you, wg.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Maybe only the free one has this banner?

    ReplyDelete
  26. this is shameful. they should give you 10 gold per match, for advertising revenue that you would be generating.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Who cares as long as it gets the camo bonus. I will be buying this tank within a minute of it being released.

  28. Are you all stupid?
    Haven't you ever heard of mods? you can change the skin....

    1. yeah but only you see the skin so people in the same game as you will see it and pick you out as many people hate wgl finals and all the adverts around it. also markings like the national ones sometimes show through skins so im not sure if this would work.

  29. What's your fetish Rita? ;)

  30. As far as i'm aware the "shop" version won't have the WGL graphics ... only the "free if you get there" will.

  31. This WGL paintjob just add the troll factor to the tank. "hacker" "cheater", they will say, while beeing clubbed be a lower tier pew-pew LT.

  32. If I were WG, I would've added google ads for a long time.

  33. I love the AMX 13 75... I have been drooling over this one... even with the markings it should be fun!

  34. I don't like the markings but I can just make a skins so I don't have to see them.
