Devs said that the grind is the gameplay, but they forgot in order to have grind you need to have something to grind for in the first place - a reward to make it worth it.
This is the saddest WB shop ever. They add a new rank seemingly every other year but keep on reducing the rank the WB shop offers. Absolutely sad state of affairs.
The Pr.1204 has one hidden advantage: That 76 turret is literally just a PT-76 turret ripped of its hull and put on a boat. As such is works exactly the same as the PT-76, including the stabilizer. Yes, the X-ray doesn't say so, but the Pt.1204 (and the Rank III Pr.1204M) has a stabilised 76mm gun.
It has an awful firing arch tho. And No, It doesn't have a stabilizer. I have the tech tree one and it still moves with how rough the waves are. The tech tree one also has a useless grenade launcher you can't aim and a weird strela system. It may honestly be the worst gunboat in war thunder coastal just from how bad it's performance stats are.
@ Honestly, I'd take Japanese and French over the PR1204, those are so much faster and more armed, especially since the 76mm has a slower reload than Japanese 25mm guns do. Japanese coastal has far better sub chasers than the soviets do, especially at low tier.
Nah gaijin is trash after making all vehicles rank 2. In previous battlepasses we could atleast buy rank 3 prems to do daily task on other nations. We need boycott this immediately smh...
I was really hoping that the brummbar would be added after all these seasons, but to my knowledge its never featured in the WB shop since the first BP. Not have a single rank III is absolute ass.
I litterally picked up the italian sherman in the last warbondshop BECAUSE it is rank III guess there is now no reason to do the battlepass or dailys at all.
@ Because unless you are low level in that nation or tech tree then they are not much use other than messing around for fun. Most events or challenges require rank 3 so you tend to use rank 3 or higher to do tasks. First daily is rank 2 and you can use low level event vehicles for "Enter the Serpent" or whatever. Other than that they just sit in hangar looking cool.
@@leecoates3674 Imo if you wanna grind more efficiently, it is completely fair you have to pay money. The fact that you can get cool premiums for free is already good. You can't get everything for free.
I picked up all premiums up to rank 3 when they were 50% off to avoid feeling like I could get (FREE) vehicles. Last battle pass I wanted the Sherman from it and I ended up spending over 3000 golden eagles on task rerolls, twice what the vehicle costs...this system is not worth it, and for the love of God I want a ground only game mode
Buddy no... dear God no. Give your mom her credit card back. Why do you use GE on task rerolles rather spend that on just buying the rank of the BP. If you get about 10 of the challenges and complete 20 dailys you will get far enough on the BP that you don't need to spend GE at all. Please seek help I feel you have a problem.
>"Nothing in WT is worth it anymore" >still give Gaijin your money You and people like you are why corporations give less and charge more. If their players are such well-trained consumers that they'll keep paying regardless, why give them anything?
@ Are you addicted to playing the game or spending money? If the first, play without spending. If the second, just send Gaijin your money in the mail and spare us all the whining.
As far as I'm concerned, the best thing from the Warbond shop is the universal backups. The rest are too much grind and relies on how good the RNG is with the special tasks. I completed 2 special tasks in my 5-6 years playing this game
the m4a5 is a deliberate addition to undervalue the battlepass and us players should show steep opposition to this bs unless we want this to be the norn from now on
You are supposed to grind the BP with Rank III and you have to pay for it, but you get mostly useless Rank II vehicles in the WB store. Stupid gajoobles.
Has anybody requested the devs use the warbond shop premium vehicles for old event/battlepass vehicles? Like 3 air/ground/sea BP AND 3 event vehicles of air/ground/sea as well. Or maybe not include the event vehicles and just do BP vehicles with the ability to grind out 2 of your choice. Idk man, just my two cents, but the ability to get some older vehicles the same way some original players earned for free instead of paying ridiculous prices on the market would be nice since we all didn’t start 10 years ago.
Tbh, getting to rank V shop wasn't so bad, and I got a free bush out of it for 2.200 WB, but yeah, it'd be nice to have other incentives to grind the warbond shop.
True - TEC didn't mention it (heck, he might not even know) but that Packard V-1650 powering the P-40 in the Warbond shop is essentially just a Merlin produced under license in the United States =)
@thisherehandleIdospout That's fair it just popped into my head when he was discussing the French one, it was quite an iconic plane especially in the north African campaign, strange it's not in the tree as standard.
You haven't played the STRV in awhile have ya TEC? Two words...SHELL SHATTER...the amount of times you should a vehicle that you should cut through like butter only to see those 2 words is insane now and makes that tank pure frustration to play.
To be precise the S-1 have only 15 mm side armor while a TT version - S-2 have uparmored sides. So the premium is pretty much a slight downgrade as you will get side-penned at angles that would normally let you squeeze just enough of additional effective to reliably stop some hits at that br. It should be slightly lighter to compensate for it. Not in a meaningfully amount tho
I'm glad I got this battle pass for free. This stuff really is dire. The challenges are annoying, the rewards are trash. I don't see what this adds to the game, all it does is give you annoying stuff to do that make you resent the game and the devs. It should just be removed at this point.
If only the M4A5 had APHE, its one of the best versions of the M4 in my honest opinion, even if it isnt the best by any standard, i just like the Canadian M4
Grind to 51 (daily login plus easy mission), maybe get the pinup, and move on. Rank 2 premiums are not worth it unless you are a collector. I’ve never seen a BV 238 survive long enough to reach bomb targets.
Yeah, they might as well scrap the battle pass as a whole. Because this is just garbage. Can't believe they don't listen to the community or care. I wish no one would buy this battle pass, so they either go back to the drawing board or just get rid of it and focus on other things in the game.
Though disappointing, there’s at least 2 vehicles I don’t have in the warbond shop. Do I need them, nope. Will I get them, likely yes. Do I trust in gambling with a Random Talisman instead ? EFF no. I have been burned to many times.
None of the battle passes so far has made me want to pay to unlock it to grind it. Which is basically pointless. Why pay to unlock the battle pass just to suffer in grinding it out? For lack luster rewards and copy past vehicles. No thanks. I've already decided that I will not be spending anymore money on anything for War Thunder. Grind is super long and slower than a snail. Economy is basically worthless as you don't earn anything. And you are constantly up tiered, making it unenjoyable and frustrating to play any mode.
Honestly the best items in the warbond shop are the universal backups, no gambling, just a straightforward purchase and something very useful that can be used literally anytime you play.
I have been spending my Warbonds on vehicles the last few seasons.. but you are right the best value for money this time around is the universal backups.
I agree. My primary way of playing WT is to spade entire trees, so the more backups the better. That's also why the gambling snowglobes were basically a guaranteed win

I wanted the USSR strella, T90M, and T80BVM. I got them, got some use of them and havnt played USSR in months afterwards 🤷♂️
This is the saddest WB shop ever. They add a new rank seemingly every other year but keep on reducing the rank the WB shop offers. Absolutely sad state of affairs.
And there was a time when we could get rank IV P-51D-10 from warbond shop...🤡

They really spat in our faces with this battle paste.
I am personally quite happy with the bv 238 for the memes
If the BV wasn't there I would be pissed but I do really want the BV so meh

Nothing in war thunder is worth it anymore, I’m only going to buy the battle pass for the sl and backups
This one isnt even worth it for that, like sure you get The money but i went from 20k to a mil jn few games That its not even worth

I mean you can get a lot of universal backups with the SL crates
So you must be okay with this crap ✌️
Backups are best. I always farm them and i really love the backups. Gaijn pls give way to buy these wirh SL
Ended up spending last bp bonds on those, pretty ok
RANK 2 💀
Just gonna go for the SB2C-5 in this battlepass, nothing else worth my time.
I picked up the busa on the last battlepass, it flies like a UFO and has the SL modifier of a top tier jet in RB. It's my new favorite premium
8:10 WHAT what the pronounciation of the Luftvärnsterrängdragbil 40!
