with the announcement of the last regular event of 2025, I was wondering which of these vehicles did people grind?

2025:
feel free to comment on whether you did the grind to keep or to sell
I personally play AirRB consistently, with a tiny amount of ground with friends (not enought to grind events for it)
But for air Jaguar IS, IAR93, F106, F14 IRIAF, F5A (and for winter, the Kfir C.10 and mirage 2K)
I did GE the Obj 292 (since i knew it would be worth a fortune) just to have on the account, and brought the EFV at £8 (10GJN)
I mostly play ground but dabble in AAB and NAB from time to time, in which cases the events prove useful reasons to play those modes again. I’ve always kept my vehicles both because grinding for the sell is just… blegh, but also because I am quite the collector.
I do very much prefer this setup over the old 2 big + 2 crafting events we used to have. I think this is one of our biggest W’s from the “revolt” back in '23.
(I also have the Met 9 but I just bought it for cheap from the market)
[Might also want to add the winter event vehicles, for completeness sake]
Shir 2 is the only time where I’ve been able to sit down and grind an event without work/life interruption, and so far I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spading & playing it, so it was worth it.
As for something I wanted to grind, the 292 was probably the most relevant thing I missed out on
I wanted to grind a lot more events than i voted on, but life got in the way. Still the new system allowed me to grind out far more vehicles than the old one.
I left them out as they are basically a continuation of the old style of events, so I didn’t deem them to be particularly relevant to the overall question
I didn’t grind any of them. I don’t have enough time for it in my day to day life
Ik it sounds cringe but I am a collector. I don’t even play most of the event vehicles. I will spade them and then just let them collect dust in a corner
I never both with selling them. I cant be bothered with that.
Air. Being a single vehicle mode, doesnt matter if I have the tree grinded or not and as an Air main, its the easiest of the 3 to grind. That being said. I only bother grinding something that I might actually play and only really if I can be bothered to commit to it.
Naval. I’ll typically grind anything British as thats the main tree I have grinded, but may grind something from Italy as I have that planned in the future.
Ground. I hate grinding. Takes the longest of the 3 and sucks. So I will only grind something that I will truly actually use, even if its the British TT and I will never be grinding another ground tree. So anything from any of TT is just a waste of time.
none… too little time to grind all the stars in a row. I think i prefer the older crafting events to this
LOL none of them. My only event vehichle ever was from a crafting event…
The disappointment that is the Jaguar IS make me stop giving any care toward any of the air event lol, kinda sad that i missed out on the F5A (G) and IAR93
Grinded to keep:
SMS Baden
T-34/85 “Partisan”
I like T-34/85s and it’s a fine addition to my lineup; and I Talismanned SMS Baden and used it to grind all of Germany’s bluewater Top Tier at the time.
Grinded to sell:
Object 292
IAR-93B
Boxer MGS
Churchill AVRE
FV4030/3
Jaguar IS
FIAT 6614 FIROS
T86
HMS Barham
Strasbourg
Mackensen
R400
I earned around 350 GJC from those sales. Which isn’t a lot, but I still welcome, since I got it just by playing.
Kinda mistake imo, it provides the neccesary firepower/mobility option for 10.3/10.7 german lineups.
One i didnt get due to IRL stuff and while far from meta I wish i got the equivalent of snubnose .38cal. the John Lennon special.
I’m sure it’s neat! However, I don’t really play that BR range, so it was an automatic sale for me, hahah.
Completly fair
missing the “none” option
That’s like 23 GJN per vehicle which is way too low of a selling price if you ask me, but it’s enough for years worth of premium account so it’s fine.
PLZ 83 130 and Shir 2 (FV4030/3)
I can’t be bothered to do 40,000 score grinds all the time, I end up playing well beyond the point enjoying the game and playing a seal clubber for several days is it’s own brand of boring.
something that might break the FOMO for some
honestly ask yourself
how often do you play some of these event rewards you’ve collected?
None, it’s way too demanding in itself, plus what you get isn’t worth it, meme vehicles are not valued as meme vehicles, lower BR vehicles are still insanely demanding and the top tier stuff still isn’t worth it, even for selling it’s not worth it as they’ll sell for $20 which is slave labor rates.
