Introduction :
Event vehicles are currently only obtainable during their respective events. Once the event ends, players who missed out have no way to earn those vehicles again except through the marketplace. This creates frustration for players who joined later or were unable to participate at the time.
My suggestion is to allow players to choose between grinding the current event vehicle or an older event vehicle from the same event type. For example, if the event requires 40,000 points to unlock a vehicle, the player could select either the new vehicle or one of the past event vehicles, and then grind the same score requirement to unlock it.
Example image how new systems look like:
How It Would Work :
-
When an event begins, players are presented with a choice menu:
- Switch for the new event vehicle.
- Switch for an older event vehicle from the same category (tank, plane, ship, etc.).
-
Once chosen, the player’s progress applies to that vehicle only.
-
Switching is possible, but progress does not carry over — you start fresh for the new choice.
-
Requirements (score, tasks, etc.) remain identical to the current event vehicle.
-
Vehicles are randomly chosen by gajin
-
Switch cost 500K RP / 1M Rp ( depends on the vehicles rank / rarity )
-
only two times allowed to switch first time for RP and second time will cost Golden eagles.
Why It Should Be Added :
- Fairness for New Players: Many players join War Thunder after certain events have ended, leaving them permanently locked out of unique vehicles. This system would give them a fair chance to earn those vehicles through effort rather than relying solely on the marketplace.
- Player Retention: Allowing access to past event vehicles keeps players motivated to participate in events, knowing they can work toward something they truly want, even if it’s not brand new.
- Marketplace Balance: While the marketplace is useful, prices for rare vehicles can become inflated. Offering an alternative grind path would reduce frustration and reliance on high-cost purchases.
- Consistency: The grind requirements remain the same as current events, ensuring no unfair advantage or imbalance. Players still need to commit the same time and effort.
- Community Satisfaction: This change would show Gaijin’s commitment to listening to its community, addressing one of the most common frustrations voiced by players.
Benefits :
- Gives newer players a fair chance to obtain vehicles they missed.
- Reduces reliance on the marketplace, making rare vehicles more accessible.
- Increases player engagement by offering more meaningful rewards.
- Gives more uses for RP
Possible Limitations :
To avoid flooding the game with rare vehicles, Gaijin could limit the number of old vehicles available per event (e.g., only one or two past vehicles offered).
ultra rare vehicles can be limited for redeemed only no coupons.
Conclusion :
This system would strike a balance between preserving the exclusivity of event vehicles and giving players a fair chance to obtain them through effort rather than relying solely on the marketplace. By allowing players to choose whether to grind for a new or past event vehicle, Gaijin would increase player satisfaction, encourage long-term engagement, and reduce frustration among newer players. The grind requirements remain unchanged, ensuring fairness and balance while expanding accessibility.
