T22 in WoT Xbox

Thanks to Zach H. !

Hello Warriors,

Besides the British turreted TDs, looks like the T22 Prototype is going to come on the WoT Xbox  2.5 Update and while Zach calls it a bad boy, I call it a cutie!

And I ask you, does it make sense that this vehicle is being added as a tier 1, behind a T2 MT and M2 LT?  I wrote down the statistics of the tier IIs bellow:

To be honest... I prefer the armor and gun of the T22 over these 2, I don't understand how this is a viable tier 1.

Note: T1 Cunningham is still available as a tier 1.
