We can similar events to Sturmtiger one. Like 2S4 240mm mortar from ussr. It could implement laser aimed artillery shells. It could be at 10.0 br with drone that could shoot that laser. It uses "Brave" shell 1) some tanks already have laser warning system 2) minimal range for shooting this exact vehicle is 500 meters. 3) it has +- 3 meter accuracy. Later improved versions of current vehicles could be added. Like "excalibur" for usa. Such high br will allow to add modern artillery. It also would be unique for each country, not copy paste of M109
The box idea for previous vehicles is ok, but let us choose what we want from the box. For example this last battlepass I wanted the T55E1, got the Toldi instead, which I will never touch, thanks Gaijin.
You get the lowest br reward from the box they all have a rarity the japanese tank in it is a event one has biggest rarity t55e1 is second the other 2 have normal rarity and if tou have the german sdkf like me you get toldi automatically
The last battle pass had the german destroyer as the rarest reward next is the event boat for ussr and the british boat and the american boat all 3 had same rarity again i got the russian boat since i already owned the british one
@rojevil2829 nope not the same chance its a gamble box with rarity you can see the colors purple or something or orange is the rarest the other colors are common and are easiest to get
My preferred recurring content style is either: Helldivers 2 style where you pay for it then unlock it at your leisure (no time limit) World of Tanks mission campaigns. Many years since I've visited this but at least originally there was mission campaigns to unlock a Stug IV, T28 HTC, T 55A and Obj 260 (also no time limit). A lot of us from the air 9.0 era have jobs and families now, we don't have anything like time to put into things like this anymore.
We need a 4 vehicle Battlepass again. Say two chests of past vehicles one chest is all low tier BP vehicles and the next chest would be the secondary and main past BP reward. And let players pick what they want and the vehicle would be immediately activated. No coupons.
one thing i can say about the current Battle pass, topped with the already massive grind of the game, i never once even considered progressing it. the sliver of rewards i got from it was purely from me just playing the game. the first time i bought it was also my last when i realized getting the top rewards was literally like taking on a second job. ESPECIALLY with the time pressure. it just wasnt even worth my attention, and genuinely feels like a waste of developer time
I loved getting the Pac-Track this battle pass, Fearless Voltiguir was the battle pass I wanted to max out, and life/work came up and probably only made it to 20ish and did even get the pak track. I love the ability to get vehicles you missed out on.
They have to quit be such cheapskates. No one wants rank one and two vehicles in the BP shop. I end up spending most of my warbonds on backups because nothing else is usually worth it. I have over a thousand universal backups because of this.
It would be nice overall if we got country specific announcers, just like how we can select for country specific voicelines, let me play my Tiger in Sinai with Rommel screaming down my neck that the enemy has captured all of the zones 😂
It's been more than 4 years of non-stop BPs. Why are we still paying for each new BP (assuming we didn't get to Level 125)? The prizes have withered out and 3 months of daily grind is really a lot (on top of paying) for what we get. Why don't they give people some discount, if players have already purchased a certain amount of BPs? Something like 10% off for 5 purchased BPs, 20% off for 10 purchased BPs, etc. Gaijin is just too greedy the way the things are right now.
try go to the old battlepass sytem that actually gave u Guaranteed veichles and try put some ground veichles in the warbound shop like maybe a rank iv like kungtiger or the old battelpass veichles that almost every new player misssed
Maybe on each BP (if you pay), you could get access to 2 different vehicles that you can no longer get of your choosing from a certain set, and you research them through convertible RP
I spent tens of millions of Silver Lions trying to obtain the Ersatz M10, and after all that time spent gaining Silver Lions, all I ended up with were items I already owned from years ago, boosters, and my junk in my hand when it all came down to it. All that time wasted grinding Silver Lions adds up to a significant amount of time spent with my face stuck to my computer screen and all for basically nothing. Plus, that's time I will never get back. I fully support TEC's comprehensive explanation and believe Gaijin should adopt his approach. TEC's ideas will help clarify this issue, but it requires Gaijin's cooperation.
My issue with the battle pass is really just the amount of grind needed to level it up, even when I tried, to get the strike master, I could only reach level 40 because I just don't have the IRL time. And it comes from someone who has the time to do the events (45k points every 2 days)
The only battle pass that i've ever considered actually finishing was the swedish king tiger. All the other battle passes were so bad that i never bothered going through them
for me the battle bass is too much of a hassle to grind... I just want to play the game man, some completion requirements of challenges takes hours to complete for Rng reasons. you can reset it, yes, but if you are unlucky you will bleed SL just to get the reasonable challenge requirements
Im still pretty pissed about the m551 (76). I feel like gaijin intentionally put it at a lucrative br only to bump it into irrelevancy once they cashed out.
They used to have rare premiums in the war bonds shop. I was so close to getting the BF109E7 when they took it away. Only way us console players were able to get those vehicles.
I think like as the final stage of the war bond shop, older vehicles like IS-7, Surbaisse, E100 etc should be added for like 3k warbonds. Give newer players the chance and want to grind the battle pass and get these older vehicles that don’t really affect the games they’re in when they are actually used
I am fairly sure it will never come back aside from loot boxes but I am so incredibly frustrated that I started playing only a week after the Sturmmörser stopped being available.
Maybe unpopular opinion since I realize I’m probably a minority in thinking this. If your game is actually good you don’t need to have a battle pass to keep people coming back to it. Team Fortress 2 comes to mind. As for single player games the old grand theft auto games and the old gran Turismo games come to mind. I do realize single player games are seen as a bad comparison to multiplayer games because of how they operate but I also think that there is more effort put into single player games (especially ones that aren’t live service) because I think having a “we can update it anytime and fix that” kind of mentality causes laziness of some sort on the development side of things. Also before we go adding voiceline customizations for this game how about we have the normal audio in game fixed? It’s been having issues for quite a while now with not playing engine noise for tanks that are running during a close quarters battle that involves many vehicles at once. I’ve also noticed a visual bug after the last update where blown up tanks still have engine exhaust coming out of their pipes which when view is obstructed can cause a player to think a dead tank is alive.
There are old vehicles I missed that I'd absolutely love to get, like the Martlet. I'm for sure not going to pay for it on the market, but I'd love the chance to get it through the battle pass. Maybe the Aussie Centurion, Matilda Hedghehog, Churchill Flame tank, etc.
Some of these events were pre console so I think it's only fair we see some kind of re introduction of former event vehicles in the game that were added before console could play the game.
Current battle pass that is about to end is the only one that I’ve truly not cared about. It was the weakest one all year honestly. Only thing I cared about was making it to level 38 for the box because I took a break when all of those vehicles released.
Great ideas, emphasis on getting to choose which vehicle you want from the box though. If I got a vehicle I didn’t want or would never use I would just be very disappointed. As for the hidden vehicles idea I agree with this as well. I have wanted the Tiger 105 and the Coelian for a long time, and would very much appreciate a way to acquire them.
They need to spice the things up. Reward vehicles for certain "monumental" achievements, like number of kills, battles, hours in game, number of vehicles received, SLs and RP received, number of ranks unlocked, number of assists, etc., etc. They need to find new ways to use up these useless convertible RPs and revamp the entire reward system, including medals and that Level 100 that players cannot progress any further (I got mine like 10 years ago). It's just boring and I almost never unlock any new decals that I used to 10 years ago. I also just got like 1 talisman in the last 5+ years. Very stingy and lame.
Still waiting on a knight or medieval archer themed BP, the coolest themed one so far was Steel Centurion, and that was season 2, we're now coming on 18... The decorators have been abysmal in the recent offerings in addition to the smaller and generally uninteresting vehicle selection.
I've been playing since Seek and Destroy was released last summer. I can't think of any battle pass that I got more than a couple of ranks in, or even what was in them. I won't know how the Battle Pass system is tried and true at this point, and I couldn't care less about the ones in WT. I can't even say how I even got the battle pass ranks when I did get them
Hell ya they been done screwed us I remember we use to get a low BR tank then a Plane and a Boat and then the Main Reward. Then Gaijin took out one of the rewards from the BP so we are paying the SAME exact price for Less items. Its Dog Poop they are looking like they are leaning towards money grab company after seeing the price they raised Premiums. Like the F-5C was what 49.99 or 59 i forget.
I honestly feel like fake vehicles should be removed from the game entirely. If a vehicle never commissioned for mass production, it should not be in the game. Any GE/SL spent on these vehicles should be returned to the player, and then we don't have to deal with vehicles with made up values ruining certain BR brackets. This would include the Panther 2, Tiger 105, R2Y2s, and others. I'm tired of fictional BS being added to the game because it's usually busted or unplayable.
Let us grind the sturmtiger and TOG II like the maus. As someone who started playing last year I'm sad I never got to participate in those events. And yeah give us access to the removed tanks and paper tigers, if gaijin let's monstrosities like the HO-RI and E100 exist why not have them back. We have cold War tanks fighting ww2 stuff anyway, historical accuracy has left the chat ages ago.
The BP is very stale. Replacing a low tier vehicle with 10 days of premium and then replacing the second vehicle with older BP ones was a dick move. I'm afraid that this new BP I would just get 1 vehicles and some from the Warbond store, as the vehicles that I missed were in the current BP box. If they do not change this lame BP format, I will have no reason to play the new BP and still fork out money for it. I would be better off just getting the vehicle on the marketplace and taking few months off.
I have a few premiums I regret buying, I wish I could trade them in for a similarly valued premium or event/battle pass vehicle or a large sum of RP. I also never use wagers so have a large number of them, I wish I could convert them into boosters and backups. Same with camos I never opened, wish I could reroll them for other camos or trade them for warbonds. I fly most of my planes in air realistic only, I wish I could trade the backups on some of them for silver or RP.
Personally I want to be able to use the American/canadian voices on all the nations vehicles, I don’t speak German or Italian or Hungarian etc and I don’t like the British voices when you use the game options setting so that would be nice.
the battlepass system is not my cup of tea imo they need to copy cod or even fortnite with their system meaning the more you play the more you get and not weird small tasks
This convertable rp is damn useless i do not want to spent a lot of money for little research i wish like 5m convertable rp equals 100k research points i dunno war thunder needs to reward his player and less grind please
4:18 the idea of removing things that didn’t god dam exist, and literally can’t physically work, is not “archaic”. They literally just made the R2Y2 line just because. Ffs, your opinions are ass sometimes. Straight up.
Time to improve a decaying system in the game with some new paint
We can similar events to Sturmtiger one. Like 2S4 240mm mortar from ussr. It could implement laser aimed artillery shells. It could be at 10.0 br with drone that could shoot that laser. It uses "Brave" shell
1) some tanks already have laser warning system
2) minimal range for shooting this exact vehicle is 500 meters.
3) it has +- 3 meter accuracy.
Later improved versions of current vehicles could be added. Like "excalibur" for usa. Such high br will allow to add modern artillery. It also would be unique for each country, not copy paste of M109
Vehicles like:
1) China - PLZ-05
2) Sweden - Archer
3) Britain- AS-90
4) USA - M1129 ; M1299
5) USSR - 2S4 ; 2S35 ; 2B1 ; A-222
6) Israel - Atmos 2k ; MAR-290
7) Italy - Palmaria
8) Japan - Type 19
9) Germany - PZ 2k (? Improved ?)
The box idea for previous vehicles is ok, but let us choose what we want from the box. For example this last battlepass I wanted the T55E1, got the Toldi instead, which I will never touch, thanks Gaijin.
You get the lowest br reward from the box they all have a rarity the japanese tank in it is a event one has biggest rarity t55e1 is second the other 2 have normal rarity and if tou have the german sdkf like me you get toldi automatically
@@RickStralen they are all the same chance.
The last battle pass had the german destroyer as the rarest reward next is the event boat for ussr and the british boat and the american boat all 3 had same rarity again i got the russian boat since i already owned the british one
@rojevil2829 nope not the same chance its a gamble box with rarity you can see the colors purple or something or orange is the rarest the other colors are common and are easiest to get
Yeah if we were allowed to choose I would've grinded and bought this BP. I really want that moon rover but I'm not taking any chances
My preferred recurring content style is either:
Helldivers 2 style where you pay for it then unlock it at your leisure (no time limit)
World of Tanks mission campaigns. Many years since I've visited this but at least originally there was mission campaigns to unlock a Stug IV, T28 HTC, T 55A and Obj 260 (also no time limit).
A lot of us from the air 9.0 era have jobs and families now, we don't have anything like time to put into things like this anymore.
You can unlock squadron vehicles with no limit. At least that's something.
@Omega_Mark yeah but it's hard to feel directly involved with that process because of how the RP gain works
We need a 4 vehicle Battlepass again. Say two chests of past vehicles one chest is all low tier BP vehicles and the next chest would be the secondary and main past BP reward. And let players pick what they want and the vehicle would be immediately activated. No coupons.

ESPECIALLY with the time pressure. it just wasnt even worth my attention, and genuinely feels like a waste of developer time
You, sir, have the most compelling ideas on TH-cam of how to turn War Thunder around. Gaijin should really pay attention to what you have to say
i would love to get panther 2 in my hands
I loved getting the Pac-Track this battle pass, Fearless Voltiguir was the battle pass I wanted to max out, and life/work came up and probably only made it to 20ish and did even get the pak track. I love the ability to get vehicles you missed out on.

Maybe on each BP (if you pay), you could get access to 2 different vehicles that you can no longer get of your choosing from a certain set, and you research them through convertible RP
I would love to get the Matilda Hedgehog! It looks so much fun. It's something that recent battle pass vehicles are lacking

Please bring the storm tiger back gaijin I was one day off with the event and I want nothing more in war thunder
The only battle pass that i've ever considered actually finishing was the swedish king tiger. All the other battle passes were so bad that i never bothered going through them
we should see dev server for smaller viechle of new season tommorow
for me the battle bass is too much of a hassle to grind... I just want to play the game man, some completion requirements of challenges takes hours to complete for Rng reasons.

You know what they could've done? Keep it 3 vehicles like before, and also add the gamble box.
I wanted the Ka-Chi from the Rerun Box, and I got it. Awesome seeing older vehicles return, Gaijin better not f it up.
unique voice lines, and unique design for pilot helmets in toptier should be added in battlepass
So many times you get killed because you refuse to use expert crews. lol
I'd like my pilot to give shout fox 3 when he shoots an amraam and other voice lines like that
I am fairly sure it will never come back aside from loot boxes but I am so incredibly frustrated that I started playing only a week after the Sturmmörser stopped being available.
Maybe unpopular opinion since I realize I’m probably a minority in thinking this.

If this was done I would research the fp 341 so fast

Bring back weekly historical decals.
Some of these events were pre console so I think it's only fair we see some kind of re introduction of former event vehicles in the game that were added before console could play the game.

I really like this idea. Getting old stuff again would be super nice and reworking the battle pass with it feels like a no brainer good idea 👍
I want the US M8 LAC as an option to buy.
Should’ve been tech tree
@ True, but sadly not my decision. Henceforth, I want it.
Still waiting on a knight or medieval archer themed BP, the coolest themed one so far was Steel Centurion, and that was season 2, we're now coming on 18... The decorators have been abysmal in the recent offerings in addition to the smaller and generally uninteresting vehicle selection.
Was the “Kilroy was here” added in the decals
there was, I remember way back 2016 it was in warbonds store
I've been playing since Seek and Destroy was released last summer. I can't think of any battle pass that I got more than a couple of ranks in, or even what was in them.
I won't know how the Battle Pass system is tried and true at this point, and I couldn't care less about the ones in WT.
I can't even say how I even got the battle pass ranks when I did get them
My goofy ahh on Xbox is never have ability to trade my 13.0 kfir :(
i wish one day it would be available to choose 1 crew voicelines language for any country. e.x. i want to play with finnish voices in my OF-40 etc.
First time getting stage 10 on the Christmas event. I don't play top tier and was sad that I couldn't trade the t80 and the plane. Ps5 user

Its Dog Poop they are looking like they are leaning towards money grab company after seeing the price they raised Premiums. Like the F-5C was what 49.99 or 59 i forget.
Took me 1 year of playing, googling and watching youtube guides to understad WT battlepass. Worst and most confusing BP system I have ever seen.
I honestly feel like fake vehicles should be removed from the game entirely. If a vehicle never commissioned for mass production, it should not be in the game.

what happened to the romanian helicopter in game? where is it
I missed out on the centurion mk.5 and I’d like it
I have a few premiums I regret buying, I wish I could trade them in for a similarly valued premium or event/battle pass vehicle or a large sum of RP. I also never use wagers so have a large number of them, I wish I could convert them into boosters and backups.

I fly most of my planes in air realistic only, I wish I could trade the backups on some of them for silver or RP.
Man what is the next battle pass!??
It all looks cool, but gaijin will never add such niceties. They only care about milking players.
Personally I want to be able to use the American/canadian voices on all the nations vehicles, I don’t speak German or Italian or Hungarian etc and I don’t like the British voices when you use the game options setting so that would be nice.
Gaijin won’t do any of this they are to greedy
Skipping the battlepass is the only way they'll listen. Stop paying for garbage content!
I have a panther 2😊
the battlepass system is not my cup of tea imo they need to copy cod or even fortnite with their system meaning the more you play the more you get and not weird small tasks
This convertable rp is damn useless i do not want to spent a lot of money for little research i wish like 5m convertable rp equals 100k research points i dunno war thunder needs to reward his player and less grind please
PANTHER 2 EXISTS WHY IS NOT BE BROUHT BACK IDK
The hull exists the turret didn't the 88 that was supposed to go in it didn't either
It was just on paper , back In the day , everything that was not used in real combat or 0 prototypes. They where removed or not brought into the game
4:18 the idea of removing things that didn’t god dam exist, and literally can’t physically work, is not “archaic”. They literally just made the R2Y2 line just because. Ffs, your opinions are ass sometimes. Straight up.
Yay console players mentioned
