Its so obvious that they only added a battlepass because it was trendy for games to have one for a while. Now they're realizing "oh this doesn't really fit in our game..."
It could fit in the game if they bothered to put in minimum effort and make the battle pass actually worthwhile. Gaijin has no imagination. Add unique camouflage rewards for random tech tree vehicles, I'd even be fine with copied tech tree vehicles featuring unique decorators like camo nets/ sand bags etc or specific aircraft flown by famous aces. Unique helmets for your tank crews or pilots, flag decorators on tanks. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible ideas out there but Gaijin can't be bothered...
It is actually a PERFECT fit for the game. It's something to give the giant sandbox we got some structure. I wouldn't play naval or air if it wasn't for the BP, and I enjoyed it for being different. It just needs actual rewards/progression. I take empty cans 3d decoration and a badly painted 69 decal over the entire line up in this one, and I don't think I am the only one. The 3d decorations being some over the top Fortnite BS half the time being a whole different issue.
@bradenhagen7977 Not really. People enjoy different stuff. A BP just adds a level of progression that makes you engage in novelty without feeling like you miss out. If there is an issue, it's just the usual elephant in the room: The Grind.
i think it should be like warframes battlepass where all rewards in the battlepass can be gotten without the use of IRL money simply play the game and you get rewards
SB2C-5 and M46, just so funny considering Japan already has a B7A2 as battlepass reward at 3.7 and French does not have a 7.0 lineup whatsoever. Those thing not only are copy paste, they bring little to these two nations.
I mean, the B7A2 can only carry a single 800kg while the SB2C-5 can carry 3x 1,000lb or a single 2,000lb bomb. However, it should’ve been a reward for a low-tier air event, not a battle pass premium.
The M46's lineup is the AuF1. That's literally all France has at 7.0. But don't worry, I'm sure Gaijin will create a semblance of a 7.0 lineup eventually...by copy-pasting *another* M46, this time in Belgian colors. (Though they really should've done it the other way around, with the French M46 being the tech tree one.) And if they ever get around to adding actual French vehicles, the EBG F1 (basically a French counterpart to the M728 CEV and Centurion AVRE) and ELC Even 90 light tank seem like possibly 7.0 vehicles. So creating an actual lineup would be possible, but it would require Gaijin to do actual work so that's probably not happening.
This is what's wrong with the vehicles, not that they're copy paste. There are plenty who are ok with the copy paste for battle passes, as it prevents something unique being locked away to that battle pass forever and unobtainable to players that want it later on.
@@PaulieLDP That's what I mean, they bring little to none to the two nations. I mean, we can just decide whether to buy it or not, so even though I'm disappointed, I would not get mad they release like this. Just funny they pick these two which isn't even that useful.
*_Me when most "new" vehicles added by Gaijin are copy paste, meanwhile we still don't have the heavily utilized pure fighter or pure bomber variants of the Mosquito, Finnish StuGs or German StuG IVs, and we're STILL missing a number of WW2 Hungarian vehicles._*
@0thPAg That's mainly because it's the fighter-bomber variant that has a bunch of added crap that's weighing it down, especially when compared to the fighter which only has guns or the bomber which has no guns to speak of.
@@tezbertzero1915 You know the daily battle pass tasks? Those USED to be Warbond task, so just by doing your dailies you could easily get something from the warbond shop. The warbond shop also used to have what we called the "mystery box" which would have old event and pulled premium Tier I-II vehicles, things like the XF5F, Lagg-3-34, 109 E7/U2, etc. The best part is the prize you got was a coupon so if it was something you already had you could sell the coupon to buy something you didn't have, for example I got a coupon for the XF5F and since I already had it I sold it to get the 109 E7/U2 which i didn't have. Those were the days, shame you missed 'em.
@@tezbertzero1915 Lot less grindy and wasn't locked behind BP progression. You were actually able to get at least one premium vehicle every shop reset without selling your soul. It's how I got the German T-34 and KV-1C back in the day.
I miss the old warbond shop just playing without thinking about it I could afford a testdrive by the time it would reset such a nice little surprise to change up the gameplay for a bit Now it's just a way to get 5 universal backups every month, because the part about actively grinding something, especially having to pay to actively grind something, so I can pay for more expensive things. Is just something I avoid.
I honestly love the recent stinker battlepasses. They make all the fomo disappear from the game, now I can take a month or two off and regain my love for gaming as a hobby instead of as a second job
I would easily pay $20 to grind an old battlepass (with no market coupon upgrade) to get some of the older vehicles. It would be better for them to to grind the battlepass instead of just buying it on the market because then ill feel inclined to login everyday and do dailies to finish the battlepass
You cant just talk about the battle pass and casually pass off the most rip roaring bomber gameplay ive ever seen in the background like nothings happening 😂
One thing I hate that came with battle pass are warbonds getting locked and being a rewards in BP. I remember when you were getting them by doing daily tasks and special task.
I bought the first BP when I realized I had ground enough to get the F2G-1. I did not even try. I was so happy with all of the toys in that BP I bought the next one straight away. Now I don't even care to try.
SO! SB2c goes down to rank 2- Meaning it now NO LONGER COUNTS FOR NAVAL TASKS... In a game mode SEVERALLY LACKING SAID NEEDED AIRCRAFT OF RANK 3... And now we get a preimum battle pass one added thats STILL rank 3 for.... Reasons...? The fact you all continue to fund this game will never cease to amaze me...
1: I've been F2P for ages now, so I guess that doesn't apply to me, but: 2: there's not really a lot of alternative games on the market yet that hit that same sweetspot
@ The French also didnt have a coastal navy until only like 4 months ago. And good luck getting a naval air task done above 4.3 with the compression and aim bot AA gunners. I swear when yamoto gets added it will shoot down more planes in a single custom match than it did its entire service.
@ The fact they are more often than not 10 times easier than the respective air or ground ones? Ah yes i have to get first AND last strike in a game 3 times... Or i could sit on a point and kill 3 people.... Get 10 kill assists in air. Destroy 3 players with torpedos (in arcade so they even reload) As someone who actually values his time id rather do 5 quick missions of naval than do 5 hours of suffering damaging a plane enough to get an assist then praying someone else finishes it off.
They don't even have to come up with new premium vehicles. Just put in some smattering of existing premium vehicles and have a GE payout for people who already own that particular vehicle. They don't even have to be premium vehicles, just vehicles that were previously removed from the tech tree or were some sort of timed exclusive, or event vehicles.
It is actually all perfectly timed. The FV event going until the 4th of February, just in time for the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Gaijin was actually nice enough to provide a battle pass that they obviously knew I would not care about, so that I can play KCD2 without having to worry about FOMO. Total W for Gaijin right there.
the last battlepass I cared about was field testing which was season 8 with the Object 248. This was in the autumn of 2022 which I think showcases the quality of battle passes since.
For me it was Battlepass 12/13, which had slightly unique vehicles that were actually special in their own way but not so much that they were completely broken. Like the Breda 90/53, which complements the TT Breda 501 and Breda 90. Or the B7 Homare being a slightly upgraded B7A2. Or the Spz being a combo of a Wiesel and a Jpz4/5.
I dont understand how gajin can run a perfectly fine battlepass in the game star conflict but is unable to do anything remotely similar with warthunder.
As a Japan main the SB2C is neat but I'm not going to bother grinding, I'm going to get some other shmuck to do it for me and buy it for pennies on the market afterwards. Just look at the price of some recent BP planes like the PBM5-A or P-51C (which are both in actual popular trees too).
I grinded up until the F4E in USA with just the F2G1, Gaijin realized the F2G1 battlepass reward was too good for a free vehicle and they regret it ever since and it shows
One thing of note is that in the early battle passes, the reward claiming took even longer than it does now and the only in-game notification on when does the BP end was only introduced ~10 days ago. For the BP where the main reward was the M6, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to level 75, because I didn't have much time, but I bought the BP the moment I reached level 75 with completion of the daily (and possibly also special) tasks, but claiming all the rewards took so long time that my sleep deprivation won and I went to sleep thinking that I'll claim the rewards the next day. The next day, however, the next BP season started and there was no longer a way to claim my rewards, so I tried contacting support, but that lead nowhere... I'd gladly buy BP and grind myself a reward if it's interesting, but this isn't it... The furball meta brought to Air RB by the switch to the current "goulash" matchmaking, the amount of cheaters in GF RB surpassing even the levels following the Phly's WT cheat ad and the fact that for some reason Gaijin thinks that I should spend 2/3 of battles in uptier .6 or higher bring the overall enjoyment of the game for me to the all time low... P.S. unpopular opinion: WT naval was better during the 1st alpha test than it is now (yes, I still have my Katyusha armed river boat that is utterly useless in vast majority of matches, because it's not made for open sea), but people who didn't even give it a chance at the time (either they played a couple battles and decided that it's not them sucking at something completely new, it's the game's fault or they literally didn't play a single battle and just parrotted the hate) have brought onto us a naval mode that is completely detached from the rest of the game (yes, you can technically use aircraft, but unless you're very lucky it's impossible to get even to the engagement range of your weapons unless you're clubbing bluewater reserves or have some special armament or trick - e.g. you can extend the range of a torpedo by tossing it - dive to sea level, point upwards and release - but the torp can never fly above its maximum release altitude or it will just drown. Only US and Japanese torpedoes are really viable for this though, because the rest have too low release speed and altitude, but with these you can toss the torpedo >3 km and with a lot of practice and a bit of luck yeet torpedoes at enemy ships such that they have no chance to avoid it and even such that the torps land in the water so close that they hit the ship below its torpedo belt - such torp below turrets is basically a guaranteed ammo detonation)
I wish gaijin would add some realistic paper tanks with a * explaining that they were never built so flesh out tech trees and add more variation to the game
And frankly they could just go back to 3 and make the lvl 37 vehicle copypasta and the Battle Pass would still be good as you could make the copypasta a vehicle with a STORY behind it. Like say the Dover 109 E4 that is in the British air museum, the flamejob P-40 captured by the Japanese or the Ishak the Germans had parked in Munich to show off or the warcrime P-38 used by the Italians. On the tank side you have the vehicles captured by both sides in North Africa like the Freedom Puma, British captured Panzer IV, German captured Matilda, the Soviet captured Stug, etc. All of these vehicles at least have a story behind them with interesting history and wouldn't be at risk of throwing off game balance and would take minimal effort by Gaijin (hell most of the skins can be found on WT Live) but would still make the BP worth doing.
Before anyone says "I'd rather have copy paste as an event than have it in the tech tree" - why not just have the bare minimum of copy paste to begin with? Stop excusing their laziness
the absolute dumb thing is that most of the recent techtree additions have been copypaste, like every "benelux" vehicle except the mercury (and there was more options for domestic designs) yet people apparently have complete amnesia and think we get a choice. They did this saying the TOG II would be modelled correctly, yet if they had the 2C Bis they would already know gaijin does not model machine gun sponsons.
my biggest issue has been tying the war bonds shop to battle pass. the war bond shop used to be useful and I'm sitting on the max allowed war bonds because the only way to progress through the war bond shop is to progress through the battle pass.
Gaijin: "We planned this BP system for years and have several unique vehicles for all nations!" Also Gaijin -Running out of vehicles to use in the BP after barely 3 years running- *Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V*
I would love to see the Type-5 Ho-Ru get added. It was one of the smallest Japanese Casemates they ever produced in very small numbers. It is also the only other unique Ha-Go variant that could be added and would be effective thanks to its 47mm.
Also 100% the Battle Pass is bloody blander than unseasoned skinned chicken. Theres nothing interesting. People only do it to get the free SL and warbonds.
Like HeroBudu said, Gaijin could absolutely find a happy middle ground if they're not making enough money on Battlepasses in one of a few ways. 1 - Decrease frequency from once every 3 months to every 4, which decreases cost per year by 25%, and more people might make it to level 75 and might just buy in to get the rewards since they happened to have made it. 2 - Increase BP value by brining back the 3-4 vehicle passes. They can add really small avraints + captures, exports, and unique named vehicles, for example a "night fighters BP" with a black cat PBY, a Japanese ship from the night battle at Savo Island, a Panther G with the prototype Gen 0 night vision optic, and the French A26 night fighter variant the B26N. This gives gaijin a 4 vehicle pass, 3 of which are modifications of existing vehicles (and the ship could be a copy-paste too). 3 - Add prizes that are worth it. For example, the EBR 1954 was used by France, Indonseia, Tunisia, Portgual, and more. As long as France gets a TT or Squadron vehicle, they could add a BP with the Portuguese EBR 1954 for the Italian TT. This would sell like wild, get players into the Italian tree, and could fit into a BP themed around, for example, French military rquipment Exports. A BP called "Force Etrangere" with I- A finnish M.S.406 in the Swedish TT II- a le fougueux submarine chaser used by West Germany III- A CM.170 Magister or an another export amored car like the AML-60-20 IV- The Portugese EBR 1954 4 - add a perk for consecurive BP purchases. For example, if you had purchased two or more conseuctive BPs, you could convert 1000 free RP with GE for every BP level you unlock.
A few other vehicles they could add just from Murica alone, tho I'd prefer them to be TT when possible: FM-2 Wildcat: bigger tail, bigger engine, more fun FJ-1 Fury: essentially a pre swept wing Sabre YB-38: a B-17 with Allison's P-75 Eagle: Big boi fighter with conjoined Allison's FR-1 Fireball: half jet, half prop, it's a Jop
@@spindash64 Those are great additions, especially things like the YB, since it should be an easy lift for Gaijin. Hopefully we see some more things along those lines in passes. For ground another great option are Shermans,, like the Free French M4a4 76 Champagne, 60mm SHermans, the Yugo Sherman, Israeli Krupp Shermans, or the Chinese 20mm sherman.
@@spindash64 The XB-38 is the only one of those that should even be considered for a BP. The rest should definitely be tech tree. The XB-38 would just be a slightly different B-17E/Late. Aside from looking cooler, it doesn't really add anything new. But aircraft are actually a new experience should not be FOMO'd by putting them in the battle pass.
Its pretty simple to understand. They have decided that the earnings they were getting for battle pass purchases were not offsetting the cost in the development of multiple new vehicles. So now we are at the point where they will just do the absolute bear minium until they can claim that its the community that has lost interest in the battlepass and such they will no longer continue doing them.
Here's what they should've done, expanding the Warbond Shop. These 2 would've been amazing rewards for that. I don't mind these vehicles coming to the game, it's just when they're the main rewards for a paid series of gameplay.....it's not right.
The best decision they can make is to bring back vehicles from old BattlePasses and WeeksLatest with old emblems. Also new WT BP can include vehicles from old events like Operation Summer/ Winter, etc.
I personally think they are trying to kill off the Battle Pass and the way they can do that without having to give back more than a pittance to the players is to make them more and more shit until there are so very people buying the Battle Pass (and even fewer still reaching 125) they can say "It's been a nice run, see ya" and pull the plug. My guess is by the end of this year.
TBH unique vehivles added in PAID, TIME LIMITED battlepasses is even worse than copy-paste vehicles. I see TH-camrs playing those unique premiums from years ago and there is no way for me to get them without dropping couple hundred bucks, it's painful
Some time ago I switched from RB to air SB only. It's sad, there are only 3 challenges for Air SB players :( I haven't been involved with BP for several seasons. I just buy the rewards when it hits the market and its relativelly cheap (Around 15 GJN or less).
i loved how the game used to have a soul and nations were different from eachother but now that they keep flooding every nation with copypaste from other nations what even is the point of having different nations at this point
Fr. There are way better unique vehicles to add to the Thai subtree that doesn't already overlap with existing aircraft in the JP tree already. The low tier is decent even if slightly sparse, and mid tier is the big cas blackhole in Japan. Adding a helldiver is really pointless
One of the problems is that there are too many factions as is, and players keep calling for new nations to get represented. To have a decent tech tree of these nations though, a lot of copy and paste vehicles would likely be added, just filling out the issue even more as they just dump more and more vehicles that are already in the game into that tree. As an example, I wouldn't argue that China has enough unique vehicles to justify them being a standalone faction. At best, they should look like Israel and skip the WWII stuff.
Watching this on one screen and JUST achieved level 75 while watching. Not a premium player but wanted the 177 with the HS 293 as it takes me back to my youth and Airfix's model. Its my first time playing battle pass to this level. I am semi retired..and need to be, The grind was taking too much of my time each day almost like a job! The Loading screen would be GREAT but giving it at level 10 is a joke. We need more fun aircraft. the Whitley? The Defiant?
i tried to make a comment on it and they silenced me. i was talking about adding cool tanks like shermans with a flamethrower or a scoop... next day i seen that they removed the comment
You see, this is just gaijin being considerate. They are making the battle pass as awful as possible so people can go play other games that are releasing, like Monster Hunter Wilds
If they really wanted to fill the battle pass with something unique, they could give players a chance to unlock some of the vehicles that were removed from the game. I would totally jump at the chance to unlock a Po-2, even if it was in a battle pass. event vehicles are meant to be unique and not very good
The only reasons I play WT, the last few years, are Battle Pass, vehicle Challenges and Warbonds. X-mas challenge was ok. Got the jet + ship and sold them on the Market. This BP isn't interesting as I don't play tanks. I really hope Warbonds will have something nice. Otherwise it will be daily login and leave till the next BP.
@@Ash007YT Could be an option. Nowadays I'm "enjoying" naval (as in earning and grinding new ships) to find the best setups for naval challenges. Otherwise it's nothing more than; login, do daily task and/or challenges, quit WT and do something else.
Personally, the one thing I want from battle passes are crates that drop old vehicles. I really don't care about anything above 6.7 personally, modern isn't balanced or fun anyway. Old event/BP vehicles don't come back often enough. I would add though, picking the reward would be nice. If they do bump the vehicle count up to 4 again, one should still be a crate with an old vehicle. I'd even ask for 2 old vehicles on occasion.
I started late in war thunder but I dislike those modern top tier games I don't even understand what is fun by being killed by advanced weaponary like fireforget missiles or glide bombs super radar stuff etc.
Honestly, I have just given up hope for Gaijin and this game. I miss the olden days of WWII props, It feels like Air RB tiers I-IV only exist to exist as part of the grind now. I might be going crazy, but I feel like props are super-compressed/condensed and It doesn't leave a lot of breathing room for new additions, Most new props are C+Paste from other trees. We don't need a P-51 for everyone, holy hell. Where are actual new vehicles and variants? I think this game has gotten too big and too ambitious. The game should have stuck to Interwar-Korea, With Post-Korea being a spin-off title. People who come for the F-14s and Su-27 probably don't give a shit about P-40 Warhawks or Yak-9s. And the people who have been in for a while feel left out to dry with all the constant meta-pushing and new top-tier crap. Jets and Top Tier used to be a novelty, It is fun, but the meat of the game was the Interwar-WWII period. You weren't being pushed update after update to grind out and play the shiny new meta-definer, just play thing that are interesting or even niche. I would love to have more variants for fighters and bombers. Where is the B-17F and Memphis Belle? Where are the P-40Ns? etc. But where the hell do you put them? Heavy Bombers as class screwed because they are placed at high BRs due to their bomb load, but with some aircraft like the Do-335 you are more likely than not to be intercepted and end up doing nothing. It would be nice to see more variants of different aircraft, but some aircraft are only interesting for reasons that may not translate well into the game. The Yak-9DD and -9M are longer than the standard -9, but range is not a consideration in War Thunder, no is high altitude fighting, making special high flying aircraft like the Welkin or Spitfire Mk.VII a bit pointless to add. Everything is over-competitive now that it's sort of killed the game.
Honestly fuck the BP just put all the cool shit straight in the tree, so fucking annoying to not play for a bit then log on to see a BP is almost over and actually have something worth the effort for once.
This Battlepass was quite ok I think. We got a ok bluefleet grinder for russia, and yes naval is not the most popular game mode but u can print some money. The vehicle Box is a cool idea to give people a chance to get there hands on event vehicles that are gone. I got the Japanese boaty tank thing. Really cool in my opinion, because i wasnt able to get it back in these days. And the bomber is cool but the rocket bombs really need a better way for aming its just pain in the ass and so for nobody use this cool unique stuff.
G'day Ash, Pah 10h of NF tasks (the hard task this time was basically a standard WB task anyway), hah hardly yet +10h of GF/AF tasks is fine even the worst of them is okay to the greater community it seems (looks at that one 5000 metre bomb kill). I was expecting a GF/NF BP yet here we're with a GF/AF BP again, greaaat time to get more pointless wagars no doubt for there's no chance in hell I'll see the Project 122bis in the ship crate as its the only event ship I'm missing. This current BP is just pathetic, "japan" gets another BP dive bomber (yay another big tail beast, yay a post war aircraft for the post war NF lineup) & france gets the second 7.0 tank heh (inadvertently cheaper than the M46 Tiger), a missed opportunity for a upgunned M46/M47 I forget the model that got a french 105 mm. The BP's imo at this point should be reduced to level 100 over the current 150 for the cost or the addition of GE like enlisted or the readdition of a third machine, wildcard Idea old crate skins given out at each level as a direct account or WB convertible.
Im sorry but Japan doesn't need more cas at lower tiers, especially a copy paste. They have a 1.7 and a few others with 600kg bombs. This thing would be a downgrade from their current bombers. Also i love my Ka-Chi good ol landship. They need to bring back low tier vehicles in battlepass
When these BPs don't catch peoples FOMO they just fall completely flat which I doubt is very profitable for Gaijin, it's probably why the BP rewards are on a downward spiral, less and less people are interested so they put less and less effort into the rewards, a single BP being unprofitable just ruins all the BPs that follow it. I would love if they did what Halo Infinite does and make Battlepasses not time sensitive, you can buy a BP from when the game first came out and play it years later whenever you want. Too bad that the entire marketable coupon system exists and makes that effectively impossible to implement now, which is funny cause BP vehicles on the market keep getting cheaper and cheaper, soon enough they'll be cheaper than the passes themselves.
WT has reached its peak as far as there's no more room to expand.... WT should split WT up into era specific games.... With 12yrs of WT I've become bitter and just don't involve myself in their Battle Pass, events and crafting events as there is really nothing you gain and only Gaijin gains $
You should look at World of Tanks console versions battle pass it's so much better because you buy buy a battle pass for 2000 gold but if you complete the entire battle pass you get 2000 gold back so you can buy the next seasons pass for free they need to just copy what they doing for the console version of World of Tanks and put it over to War Thunder it would be so much better battle pass because reaching level 100 do you get a free vehicle and then you get a paid vehicle for reaching the end of the battle pass
And I might be wrong about this but you get five premium vehicles pure battle pass you get one immediately when you buy the ultimate pass and you unlock the other ones fairly easy by just doing challenges that a casual player can actually complete unlike current one where all you have to play are battles yet I don't touch are battle so I can't do half the battle pass challenges or it requires Naval battles which no one plays it needs to be overhauled
Could never be bothered to get the battle pass just to basically make war thunder a job where I have to pay for working. The effort needed is not fun and even if they had better vehicles as a reward I'd rather stick with the playstyles and modes that make me play the game to begin with on a humane schedule. Screw that stuff... grinded an event vehicle once. The Tornado MFG... took em 2 years to "fix" the damn anti ship missiles and they still suck.
Nothing like grinding 75 levels for a placeholder cockpit with the He177
Fact.
placeholder knowing FULL WELL they have zero intention of ever modelling it
And a bomber with no bombing sights so it makes it very useless.
@ It has a bombsight
@@cliffthelightning I did a test flight on the BP one and it didnt have one unless its been added now as it made using anything on it impossible.
Its so obvious that they only added a battlepass because it was trendy for games to have one for a while. Now they're realizing "oh this doesn't really fit in our game..."
It could fit in the game if they bothered to put in minimum effort and make the battle pass actually worthwhile. Gaijin has no imagination. Add unique camouflage rewards for random tech tree vehicles, I'd even be fine with copied tech tree vehicles featuring unique decorators like camo nets/ sand bags etc or specific aircraft flown by famous aces. Unique helmets for your tank crews or pilots, flag decorators on tanks. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible ideas out there but Gaijin can't be bothered...
It is actually a PERFECT fit for the game. It's something to give the giant sandbox we got some structure. I wouldn't play naval or air if it wasn't for the BP, and I enjoyed it for being different.
It just needs actual rewards/progression. I take empty cans 3d decoration and a badly painted 69 decal over the entire line up in this one, and I don't think I am the only one.
The 3d decorations being some over the top Fortnite BS half the time being a whole different issue.
It does there are many many original machines that could be added, but they are doing It wrong.
@KorporalNoobs if you need a bqttlepass to even play a mode then something is terribly wrong...
@bradenhagen7977 Not really. People enjoy different stuff. A BP just adds a level of progression that makes you engage in novelty without feeling like you miss out.
If there is an issue, it's just the usual elephant in the room: The Grind.
The biggest problem is the grind of a battlepass. It should honestly just be something like "play a match and get 3 kills" not some other shit
Battlepass without atrocious grind with very specific or difficult tasks? No way!
...you can get to lvl 50 if playing half a hour a day if you're a bit strategic, what more do you want ?
i think it should be like warframes battlepass where all rewards in the battlepass can be gotten without the use of IRL money simply play the game and you get rewards
SB2C-5 and M46, just so funny considering Japan already has a B7A2 as battlepass reward at 3.7 and French does not have a 7.0 lineup whatsoever.
Those thing not only are copy paste, they bring little to these two nations.
The M46 is just like the dutch leopards. Copy paste, no lineup, not needed.
I mean, the B7A2 can only carry a single 800kg while the SB2C-5 can carry 3x 1,000lb or a single 2,000lb bomb.
However, it should’ve been a reward for a low-tier air event, not a battle pass premium.
The M46's lineup is the AuF1. That's literally all France has at 7.0. But don't worry, I'm sure Gaijin will create a semblance of a 7.0 lineup eventually...by copy-pasting *another* M46, this time in Belgian colors. (Though they really should've done it the other way around, with the French M46 being the tech tree one.)
And if they ever get around to adding actual French vehicles, the EBG F1 (basically a French counterpart to the M728 CEV and Centurion AVRE) and ELC Even 90 light tank seem like possibly 7.0 vehicles. So creating an actual lineup would be possible, but it would require Gaijin to do actual work so that's probably not happening.
This is what's wrong with the vehicles, not that they're copy paste. There are plenty who are ok with the copy paste for battle passes, as it prevents something unique being locked away to that battle pass forever and unobtainable to players that want it later on.
@@PaulieLDP That's what I mean, they bring little to none to the two nations. I mean, we can just decide whether to buy it or not, so even though I'm disappointed, I would not get mad they release like this. Just funny they pick these two which isn't even that useful.
*_Me when most "new" vehicles added by Gaijin are copy paste, meanwhile we still don't have the heavily utilized pure fighter or pure bomber variants of the Mosquito, Finnish StuGs or German StuG IVs, and we're STILL missing a number of WW2 Hungarian vehicles._*
Where p40N and fm2 wildcat? both the most produced variants of their aircraft
Not to mention Mosquito flight model is absolute dogshit compared to real life.
@0thPAg That's mainly because it's the fighter-bomber variant that has a bunch of added crap that's weighing it down, especially when compared to the fighter which only has guns or the bomber which has no guns to speak of.
Germany still doesn't have a light tank that's rank 3 lmao and the puma is 3.7 but rank 2... lovely.
The thing I most dislike about the battle pass is how it took away the war bond shop from most people.
How did it work before?? I joined WT just two years ago
@@tezbertzero1915 You know the daily battle pass tasks? Those USED to be Warbond task, so just by doing your dailies you could easily get something from the warbond shop. The warbond shop also used to have what we called the "mystery box" which would have old event and pulled premium Tier I-II vehicles, things like the XF5F, Lagg-3-34, 109 E7/U2, etc. The best part is the prize you got was a coupon so if it was something you already had you could sell the coupon to buy something you didn't have, for example I got a coupon for the XF5F and since I already had it I sold it to get the 109 E7/U2 which i didn't have.
Those were the days, shame you missed 'em.
@@tezbertzero1915 Lot less grindy and wasn't locked behind BP progression. You were actually able to get at least one premium vehicle every shop reset without selling your soul. It's how I got the German T-34 and KV-1C back in the day.
I miss the old warbond shop
just playing without thinking about it I could afford a testdrive by the time it would reset
such a nice little surprise to change up the gameplay for a bit
Now it's just a way to get 5 universal backups every month, because the part about actively grinding something, especially having to pay to actively grind something, so I can pay for more expensive things. Is just something I avoid.
I honestly love the recent stinker battlepasses. They make all the fomo disappear from the game, now I can take a month or two off and regain my love for gaming as a hobby instead of as a second job
this
I would easily pay $20 to grind an old battlepass (with no market coupon upgrade) to get some of the older vehicles. It would be better for them to to grind the battlepass instead of just buying it on the market because then ill feel inclined to login everyday and do dailies to finish the battlepass
You cant just talk about the battle pass and casually pass off the most rip roaring bomber gameplay ive ever seen in the background like nothings happening 😂
One thing I hate that came with battle pass are warbonds getting locked and being a rewards in BP. I remember when you were getting them by doing daily tasks and special task.
I bought the first BP when I realized I had ground enough to get the F2G-1. I did not even try. I was so happy with all of the toys in that BP I bought the next one straight away. Now I don't even care to try.
SO!
SB2c goes down to rank 2- Meaning it now NO LONGER COUNTS FOR NAVAL TASKS... In a game mode SEVERALLY LACKING SAID NEEDED AIRCRAFT OF RANK 3...
And now we get a preimum battle pass one added thats STILL rank 3 for.... Reasons...?
The fact you all continue to fund this game will never cease to amaze me...
The french tech tree SB2C is also still rank 3
1: I've been F2P for ages now, so I guess that doesn't apply to me, but:
2: there's not really a lot of alternative games on the market yet that hit that same sweetspot
Why bother with ‘naval tasks’ or tasks at all? What’s the point?
@ The French also didnt have a coastal navy until only like 4 months ago.
And good luck getting a naval air task done above 4.3 with the compression and aim bot AA gunners.
I swear when yamoto gets added it will shoot down more planes in a single custom match than it did its entire service.
@ The fact they are more often than not 10 times easier than the respective air or ground ones?
Ah yes i have to get first AND last strike in a game 3 times...
Or i could sit on a point and kill 3 people....
Get 10 kill assists in air.
Destroy 3 players with torpedos (in arcade so they even reload)
As someone who actually values his time id rather do 5 quick missions of naval than do 5 hours of suffering damaging a plane enough to get an assist then praying someone else finishes it off.
I would understand it somewhat if we didnt have the subtree, but we have the subtree, why isnt it there...
Exactly why bother with the sub tree to begin with.
@@Ash007YT And Japan DOESN'T NEED dive bombers.......... they already have their own that work like this one... specially the Ryusei and Homare
They don't even have to come up with new premium vehicles. Just put in some smattering of existing premium vehicles and have a GE payout for people who already own that particular vehicle. They don't even have to be premium vehicles, just vehicles that were previously removed from the tech tree or were some sort of timed exclusive, or event vehicles.
Or just rerun old battlepass even. Have a rerun for every 2 news one or something
We have so many old event vehicles that people hardly ever use or even have. Throw them in from time to time as well.
B-B-B-But gaijin market value for those vehicles goes down
@@AlRizz187well just make them non tradable then. Problem aolved
What I wouldn't do to get the EBR with the FL-12 turret.
My French 6.7 line up would be complete and I could die happy.
i need the p51A 🤤🤤
They did
It is actually all perfectly timed. The FV event going until the 4th of February, just in time for the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Gaijin was actually nice enough to provide a battle pass that they obviously knew I would not care about, so that I can play KCD2 without having to worry about FOMO. Total W for Gaijin right there.
the last battlepass I cared about was field testing which was season 8 with the Object 248. This was in the autumn of 2022 which I think showcases the quality of battle passes since.
los ultimos fueron un desastre. Yo quiero el m2a6e1, el cabezon..IMPOSIBLE comprarlo y obtenerlo.
For me it was Battlepass 12/13, which had slightly unique vehicles that were actually special in their own way but not so much that they were completely broken. Like the Breda 90/53, which complements the TT Breda 501 and Breda 90. Or the B7 Homare being a slightly upgraded B7A2. Or the Spz being a combo of a Wiesel and a Jpz4/5.
I dont understand how gajin can run a perfectly fine battlepass in the game star conflict but is unable to do anything remotely similar with warthunder.
Add something even slightly unique? Nah. ACTUALLY just copy-paste existing vehicles w/ no change.
As a Japan main the SB2C is neat but I'm not going to bother grinding, I'm going to get some other shmuck to do it for me and buy it for pennies on the market afterwards. Just look at the price of some recent BP planes like the PBM5-A or P-51C (which are both in actual popular trees too).
Gaijin knows what they have and they're milking it
Now I grind Battle Pass only for SL and maybe some decals. Thanks Gaijin everyone love copy-paste
I grinded up until the F4E in USA with just the F2G1, Gaijin realized the F2G1 battlepass reward was too good for a free vehicle and they regret it ever since and it shows
The first battle pass was peaked without time limits for each task. Had four unique vehicles, and worth each USD.
That's what it SHOULD have stayed as not this complete garbage
How much longer until the battle pass only has *one* vehicle? They've already cut it from 4 to 3 to 2.
The M46 could have been Dutch! --- oh, wait...
It’s good to see you back, making videos, having fun and the views rising !
One thing of note is that in the early battle passes, the reward claiming took even longer than it does now and the only in-game notification on when does the BP end was only introduced ~10 days ago. For the BP where the main reward was the M6, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to level 75, because I didn't have much time, but I bought the BP the moment I reached level 75 with completion of the daily (and possibly also special) tasks, but claiming all the rewards took so long time that my sleep deprivation won and I went to sleep thinking that I'll claim the rewards the next day. The next day, however, the next BP season started and there was no longer a way to claim my rewards, so I tried contacting support, but that lead nowhere...
I'd gladly buy BP and grind myself a reward if it's interesting, but this isn't it...
The furball meta brought to Air RB by the switch to the current "goulash" matchmaking, the amount of cheaters in GF RB surpassing even the levels following the Phly's WT cheat ad and the fact that for some reason Gaijin thinks that I should spend 2/3 of battles in uptier .6 or higher bring the overall enjoyment of the game for me to the all time low...
P.S. unpopular opinion: WT naval was better during the 1st alpha test than it is now (yes, I still have my Katyusha armed river boat that is utterly useless in vast majority of matches, because it's not made for open sea), but people who didn't even give it a chance at the time (either they played a couple battles and decided that it's not them sucking at something completely new, it's the game's fault or they literally didn't play a single battle and just parrotted the hate) have brought onto us a naval mode that is completely detached from the rest of the game (yes, you can technically use aircraft, but unless you're very lucky it's impossible to get even to the engagement range of your weapons unless you're clubbing bluewater reserves or have some special armament or trick - e.g. you can extend the range of a torpedo by tossing it - dive to sea level, point upwards and release - but the torp can never fly above its maximum release altitude or it will just drown. Only US and Japanese torpedoes are really viable for this though, because the rest have too low release speed and altitude, but with these you can toss the torpedo >3 km and with a lot of practice and a bit of luck yeet torpedoes at enemy ships such that they have no chance to avoid it and even such that the torps land in the water so close that they hit the ship below its torpedo belt - such torp below turrets is basically a guaranteed ammo detonation)
I'd rather fly the Ki-200 and Me-163 forever on rather than get these battlepass vehicles. With minimal amount of fuel
7:25 they built hundreds of that EBR. Way more than many tech tree vehicles.
I wish gaijin would add some realistic paper tanks with a * explaining that they were never built so flesh out tech trees and add more variation to the game
And frankly they could just go back to 3 and make the lvl 37 vehicle copypasta and the Battle Pass would still be good as you could make the copypasta a vehicle with a STORY behind it. Like say the Dover 109 E4 that is in the British air museum, the flamejob P-40 captured by the Japanese or the Ishak the Germans had parked in Munich to show off or the warcrime P-38 used by the Italians. On the tank side you have the vehicles captured by both sides in North Africa like the Freedom Puma, British captured Panzer IV, German captured Matilda, the Soviet captured Stug, etc.
All of these vehicles at least have a story behind them with interesting history and wouldn't be at risk of throwing off game balance and would take minimal effort by Gaijin (hell most of the skins can be found on WT Live) but would still make the BP worth doing.
Before anyone says "I'd rather have copy paste as an event than have it in the tech tree" - why not just have the bare minimum of copy paste to begin with? Stop excusing their laziness
Then the devs claimed copy and paste does not stop unique things from being added when it clearly does
@TinyBearTim the only thing that copy paste doesn't stop is power creep
the absolute dumb thing is that most of the recent techtree additions have been copypaste, like every "benelux" vehicle except the mercury (and there was more options for domestic designs) yet people apparently have complete amnesia and think we get a choice. They did this saying the TOG II would be modelled correctly, yet if they had the 2C Bis they would already know gaijin does not model machine gun sponsons.
Remember, as long as people keep buying the battlepass, they're gonna keep running it. Gaijin are doing everything possible to squeeze money out of it
my biggest issue has been tying the war bonds shop to battle pass. the war bond shop used to be useful and I'm sitting on the max allowed war bonds because the only way to progress through the war bond shop is to progress through the battle pass.
Gaijin: "We planned this BP system for years and have several unique vehicles for all nations!"
Also Gaijin -Running out of vehicles to use in the BP after barely 3 years running- *Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V*
Only the first few butterpasses were worth it.
I agree. They were obtainable and passive to unlock.
the last worthwhile battlepass was tropical storm
I would love to see the Type-5 Ho-Ru get added. It was one of the smallest Japanese Casemates they ever produced in very small numbers. It is also the only other unique Ha-Go variant that could be added and would be effective thanks to its 47mm.
I'm the bloke that posted about my cat (Tiddles) on the warthunder reddit. I was bloody waiting for this video!
Also 100% the Battle Pass is bloody blander than unseasoned skinned chicken. Theres nothing interesting. People only do it to get the free SL and warbonds.
Like HeroBudu said, Gaijin could absolutely find a happy middle ground if they're not making enough money on Battlepasses in one of a few ways.
1 - Decrease frequency from once every 3 months to every 4, which decreases cost per year by 25%, and more people might make it to level 75 and might just buy in to get the rewards since they happened to have made it.
2 - Increase BP value by brining back the 3-4 vehicle passes. They can add really small avraints + captures, exports, and unique named vehicles, for example a "night fighters BP" with a black cat PBY, a Japanese ship from the night battle at Savo Island, a Panther G with the prototype Gen 0 night vision optic, and the French A26 night fighter variant the B26N. This gives gaijin a 4 vehicle pass, 3 of which are modifications of existing vehicles (and the ship could be a copy-paste too).
3 - Add prizes that are worth it. For example, the EBR 1954 was used by France, Indonseia, Tunisia, Portgual, and more. As long as France gets a TT or Squadron vehicle, they could add a BP with the Portuguese EBR 1954 for the Italian TT. This would sell like wild, get players into the Italian tree, and could fit into a BP themed around, for example, French military rquipment Exports. A BP called "Force Etrangere" with
I- A finnish M.S.406 in the Swedish TT
II- a le fougueux submarine chaser used by West Germany
III- A CM.170 Magister or an another export amored car like the AML-60-20
IV- The Portugese EBR 1954
4 - add a perk for consecurive BP purchases. For example, if you had purchased two or more conseuctive BPs, you could convert 1000 free RP with GE for every BP level you unlock.
A few other vehicles they could add just from Murica alone, tho I'd prefer them to be TT when possible:
FM-2 Wildcat: bigger tail, bigger engine, more fun
FJ-1 Fury: essentially a pre swept wing Sabre
YB-38: a B-17 with Allison's
P-75 Eagle: Big boi fighter with conjoined Allison's
FR-1 Fireball: half jet, half prop, it's a Jop
@@spindash64 Those are great additions, especially things like the YB, since it should be an easy lift for Gaijin.
Hopefully we see some more things along those lines in passes. For ground another great option are Shermans,, like the Free French M4a4 76 Champagne, 60mm SHermans, the Yugo Sherman, Israeli Krupp Shermans, or the Chinese 20mm sherman.
@@spindash64 The XB-38 is the only one of those that should even be considered for a BP. The rest should definitely be tech tree. The XB-38 would just be a slightly different B-17E/Late. Aside from looking cooler, it doesn't really add anything new. But aircraft are actually a new experience should not be FOMO'd by putting them in the battle pass.
This is way better than having cool and/or unique vehicles behind a paywall
Its pretty simple to understand. They have decided that the earnings they were getting for battle pass purchases were not offsetting the cost in the development of multiple new vehicles. So now we are at the point where they will just do the absolute bear minium until they can claim that its the community that has lost interest in the battlepass and such they will no longer continue doing them.
easy route = higher profit margin = happy upper management and investors.
There are no investors. Gaijin is not a tradable company.
Here's what they should've done, expanding the Warbond Shop. These 2 would've been amazing rewards for that. I don't mind these vehicles coming to the game, it's just when they're the main rewards for a paid series of gameplay.....it's not right.
The best decision they can make is to bring back vehicles from old BattlePasses and WeeksLatest with old emblems. Also new WT BP can include vehicles from old events like Operation Summer/ Winter, etc.
The last one I actually bought was for the a-1H and thoroughly enjoy it
That thing is too much fun
Toilet bomb is quite a meme, I enjoyed the strikemaster mk88.
I'd like to see the A-4K, the NZ modernised Skyhawk - think that'd be fun for the UK tech tree
I personally think they are trying to kill off the Battle Pass and the way they can do that without having to give back more than a pittance to the players is to make them more and more shit until there are so very people buying the Battle Pass (and even fewer still reaching 125) they can say "It's been a nice run, see ya" and pull the plug. My guess is by the end of this year.
Bro, you’re fantastic with the bomber gunners
Gotta make the most of it, eh?
TBH unique vehivles added in PAID, TIME LIMITED battlepasses is even worse than copy-paste vehicles. I see TH-camrs playing those unique premiums from years ago and there is no way for me to get them without dropping couple hundred bucks, it's painful
Some time ago I switched from RB to air SB only. It's sad, there are only 3 challenges for Air SB players :( I haven't been involved with BP for several seasons. I just buy the rewards when it hits the market and its relativelly cheap (Around 15 GJN or less).
Gaijin just really loves aggravating their players
The last two battlepasses I actually cared about was the PT-76-57, and the AMX-50(90).
Haven't cared about any others since then.
i loved how the game used to have a soul and nations were different from eachother but now that they keep flooding every nation with copypaste from other nations what even is the point of having different nations at this point
Fr. There are way better unique vehicles to add to the Thai subtree that doesn't already overlap with existing aircraft in the JP tree already. The low tier is decent even if slightly sparse, and mid tier is the big cas blackhole in Japan. Adding a helldiver is really pointless
Whilst we are talking about issues with warthunder, can Ash talk about the issues with the bomber and plans with defence guns
One of the problems is that there are too many factions as is, and players keep calling for new nations to get represented. To have a decent tech tree of these nations though, a lot of copy and paste vehicles would likely be added, just filling out the issue even more as they just dump more and more vehicles that are already in the game into that tree.
As an example, I wouldn't argue that China has enough unique vehicles to justify them being a standalone faction. At best, they should look like Israel and skip the WWII stuff.
They need to removed timed task for battle pass, while also allowing buying old battle pass.
Watching this on one screen and JUST achieved level 75 while watching. Not a premium player but wanted the 177 with the HS 293 as it takes me back to my youth and Airfix's model. Its my first time playing battle pass to this level. I am semi retired..and need to be, The grind was taking too much of my time each day almost like a job! The Loading screen would be GREAT but giving it at level 10 is a joke. We need more fun aircraft. the Whitley? The Defiant?
Tha last battle pass i bought was the one where i got my lovely PT76-57 ... (And a Beaufighter, and the LVT-4/40 and the PT-658 ...)
i tried to make a comment on it and they silenced me. i was talking about adding cool tanks like shermans with a flamethrower or a scoop... next day i seen that they removed the comment
The IAR event vehicle and the Shear 2 should have been battlepass vehicles
I'm so glad I didn't come back after the big blow up, it seems like we're right back where that started except this time people aren't rioting
You see, this is just gaijin being considerate. They are making the battle pass as awful as possible so people can go play other games that are releasing, like Monster Hunter Wilds
I'm here to appreciate the mighty Ki-67😍
Ive never felt inclined to do the battlepass. I dont got time for that lol
If they really wanted to fill the battle pass with something unique, they could give players a chance to unlock some of the vehicles that were removed from the game. I would totally jump at the chance to unlock a Po-2, even if it was in a battle pass. event vehicles are meant to be unique and not very good
Yeah. Add more vehicles to the BP like was said. Make it 4 and then it would not be so bad to get slop all the time.
Stop criticizing the battlepass, otherwise next time we will have a another PT-76-57 incident.
Already do, dont need to convince me
The only reasons I play WT, the last few years, are Battle Pass, vehicle Challenges and Warbonds.
X-mas challenge was ok. Got the jet + ship and sold them on the Market.
This BP isn't interesting as I don't play tanks.
I really hope Warbonds will have something nice. Otherwise it will be daily login and leave till the next BP.
I've just been dicking around in strange aircraft with other creators. I enjoyed that more than what's on offer for the battlepass.
@@Ash007YT
Could be an option.
Nowadays I'm "enjoying" naval (as in earning and grinding new ships) to find the best setups for naval challenges.
Otherwise it's nothing more than;
login, do daily task and/or challenges, quit WT and do something else.
riveting backround footage
Personally, the one thing I want from battle passes are crates that drop old vehicles. I really don't care about anything above 6.7 personally, modern isn't balanced or fun anyway. Old event/BP vehicles don't come back often enough. I would add though, picking the reward would be nice. If they do bump the vehicle count up to 4 again, one should still be a crate with an old vehicle. I'd even ask for 2 old vehicles on occasion.
I started late in war thunder but I dislike those modern top tier games I don't even understand what is fun by being killed by advanced weaponary like fireforget missiles or glide bombs super radar stuff etc.
Honestly, I have just given up hope for Gaijin and this game. I miss the olden days of WWII props, It feels like Air RB tiers I-IV only exist to exist as part of the grind now. I might be going crazy, but I feel like props are super-compressed/condensed and It doesn't leave a lot of breathing room for new additions, Most new props are C+Paste from other trees. We don't need a P-51 for everyone, holy hell. Where are actual new vehicles and variants?
I think this game has gotten too big and too ambitious. The game should have stuck to Interwar-Korea, With Post-Korea being a spin-off title. People who come for the F-14s and Su-27 probably don't give a shit about P-40 Warhawks or Yak-9s. And the people who have been in for a while feel left out to dry with all the constant meta-pushing and new top-tier crap. Jets and Top Tier used to be a novelty, It is fun, but the meat of the game was the Interwar-WWII period. You weren't being pushed update after update to grind out and play the shiny new meta-definer, just play thing that are interesting or even niche.
I would love to have more variants for fighters and bombers. Where is the B-17F and Memphis Belle? Where are the P-40Ns? etc. But where the hell do you put them? Heavy Bombers as class screwed because they are placed at high BRs due to their bomb load, but with some aircraft like the Do-335 you are more likely than not to be intercepted and end up doing nothing. It would be nice to see more variants of different aircraft, but some aircraft are only interesting for reasons that may not translate well into the game. The Yak-9DD and -9M are longer than the standard -9, but range is not a consideration in War Thunder, no is high altitude fighting, making special high flying aircraft like the Welkin or Spitfire Mk.VII a bit pointless to add. Everything is over-competitive now that it's sort of killed the game.
Honestly fuck the BP just put all the cool shit straight in the tree, so fucking annoying to not play for a bit then log on to see a BP is almost over and actually have something worth the effort for once.
battlepass hasnt been good in forever
I got burned out from the lvl75 they are killing their active playerbase.
Only vehicles ive got from those "chest" is boats and multiple copiea of said same 4 boats.... its a joke
Gaijin been stingy since 2016. Now gaijin "entertainment" just extremely stingy since 2018. It wasn't that long ago.
Just put previous event vehicles in the bp
Be a good way to do things. At least give value to the pass.
Best battle pass vehicle is that wheeled tank destroyer for the US
This Battlepass was quite ok I think. We got a ok bluefleet grinder for russia, and yes naval is not the most popular game mode but u can print some money. The vehicle Box is a cool idea to give people a chance to get there hands on event vehicles that are gone. I got the Japanese boaty tank thing. Really cool in my opinion, because i wasnt able to get it back in these days. And the bomber is cool but the rocket bombs really need a better way for aming its just pain in the ass and so for nobody use this cool unique stuff.
I got the garbage Toldi 1 I wanted the German half track. So I’m not buying a battlepass ever again
Battlepaste
Where have you been m8?!!
Love from Egypt!!
Thats a DAMN FACT, what a piece of shit of a Battle Pass
so happy I bought the first battlepasses
Ya, I'm getting really sick of the battle pass constantly giving us nothing worth while. Even the winter event now, just copy paste trash.
Glory to Super Earth!!!
G'day Ash,
Pah 10h of NF tasks (the hard task this time was basically a standard WB task anyway), hah hardly yet +10h of GF/AF tasks is fine even the worst of them is okay to the greater community it seems (looks at that one 5000 metre bomb kill).
I was expecting a GF/NF BP yet here we're with a GF/AF BP again, greaaat time to get more pointless wagars no doubt for there's no chance in hell I'll see the Project 122bis in the ship crate as its the only event ship I'm missing.
This current BP is just pathetic, "japan" gets another BP dive bomber (yay another big tail beast, yay a post war aircraft for the post war NF lineup) & france gets the second 7.0 tank heh (inadvertently cheaper than the M46 Tiger), a missed opportunity for a upgunned M46/M47 I forget the model that got a french 105 mm.
The BP's imo at this point should be reduced to level 100 over the current 150 for the cost or the addition of GE like enlisted or the readdition of a third machine, wildcard Idea old crate skins given out at each level as a direct account or WB convertible.
Im sorry but Japan doesn't need more cas at lower tiers, especially a copy paste. They have a 1.7 and a few others with 600kg bombs. This thing would be a downgrade from their current bombers. Also i love my Ka-Chi good ol landship. They need to bring back low tier vehicles in battlepass
When these BPs don't catch peoples FOMO they just fall completely flat which I doubt is very profitable for Gaijin, it's probably why the BP rewards are on a downward spiral, less and less people are interested so they put less and less effort into the rewards, a single BP being unprofitable just ruins all the BPs that follow it.
I would love if they did what Halo Infinite does and make Battlepasses not time sensitive, you can buy a BP from when the game first came out and play it years later whenever you want. Too bad that the entire marketable coupon system exists and makes that effectively impossible to implement now, which is funny cause BP vehicles on the market keep getting cheaper and cheaper, soon enough they'll be cheaper than the passes themselves.
WT has reached its peak as far as there's no more room to expand.... WT should split WT up into era specific games.... With 12yrs of WT I've become bitter and just don't involve myself in their Battle Pass, events and crafting events as there is really nothing you gain and only Gaijin gains $
I remember the battlepass being added and my god i was so confused, why not just make it so you need a bit of xp, this shit is so bad.
You should look at World of Tanks console versions battle pass it's so much better because you buy buy a battle pass for 2000 gold but if you complete the entire battle pass you get 2000 gold back so you can buy the next seasons pass for free they need to just copy what they doing for the console version of World of Tanks and put it over to War Thunder it would be so much better battle pass because reaching level 100 do you get a free vehicle and then you get a paid vehicle for reaching the end of the battle pass
And I might be wrong about this but you get five premium vehicles pure battle pass you get one immediately when you buy the ultimate pass and you unlock the other ones fairly easy by just doing challenges that a casual player can actually complete unlike current one where all you have to play are battles yet I don't touch are battle so I can't do half the battle pass challenges or it requires Naval battles which no one plays it needs to be overhauled
Enlisted has a battle pass that gives you back the gold, in fact it might even give you a slight bit more than what it costs anymore.
I avoid it anyway loo, I’ve done 2 passes in total I believe & I could careless.
Could never be bothered to get the battle pass just to basically make war thunder a job where I have to pay for working. The effort needed is not fun and even if they had better vehicles as a reward I'd rather stick with the playstyles and modes that make me play the game to begin with on a humane schedule. Screw that stuff... grinded an event vehicle once. The Tornado MFG... took em 2 years to "fix" the damn anti ship missiles and they still suck.
Lazy? What do you mean? Just because the M46 for France coincidentally is also copy paste? Naaaaah
The first two were great.
I'd love a vehicle that's completely shit as long as it's unique over this crap
