So was I, I’ve been off from late May to mid August and I had the warbond shop maxed about 3 weeks ago.
Good for you. I’ve started doing this BP in around august 16 and did not really have time to play beyond a few matches here and there until september.
I disagree and would like to have Gajin expand the concealment options. There are a lot of free options, like camo nets and bushes, paid options, better camo nets and bushes, and tech tree concealment options. All that should work together with cammo. Increase the limit of objects you can place on your tank, and so forth. Concealment is an important part of combat. Not just the shooting part. Aming and clicking the left mousebutton is just a part of the whole skill set one should master to play Warthunder. Scaning and looking for targets, things that stand out as the skill to belndin is also important.

Then why complain about a merit-related reward that you… yknow, grind for?
Make it not-FOMO and I’m with you.
If bushes worked like this, I’d have no complaints:
Each tier unlocks bushes like aced crew skills or camoflagues. Make it like… tier 1 is 200K RP for first bush for all tanks in that tier, tier 2 is 400k RP, tier 3 800k and so forth. Make it an absurd grind that still works out over time if you play that tier a lot - like, 6 months/1 bush or maybe even 1 year/bush without premium.
Keep it purchasable from the shop though as is, retaining its value for its owners.
The big difference from the current BP system is that you can slowly work towards it year-round but may need to give up progressing towards high tier if you want it on your jagdpanzers.
Because it is FOMO bullshit. It is very much not viable to “grind for” if you need to log in at a specific time of the year every day for multiple days and play for 2-3 hours each of those days.
It’s FOMO because you can only access it at a very limited period of the year and must play continuously for a significant period of days.
How are bushes FOMO if they’ve been in the game for close to a decade?
FOMO would classify as the premium drops in the warbond shop… Which are still recurring prizes, and can be achieved by a myriad of different ways. Whether it be GJN, crates, events, and so on.
That’s… Quite literally called “grinding for it” and the way you’ve described it the most viable way to achieve it.
Are you legitimately absent perspective and logic?
You need to log in during specific weeks, maintain high activity during those specific weeks, if you miss those weeks you cannot get it. If you only partially are able to play those weeks, you cannot get it. If you join at end of those weeks, you cannot get it. If you join at the start of it but need to take a break for whatever reason, you cannot get it.
Crew skills?
I can log in once each month, play a match getting 10K RP. After 28 such months, I have an aced P-51 Cannon mustang.
I cannot do this for bushes.
Bushes should work like aced crews - something you can actually earn progress towards whenever you play. Even if that progress is absurd like 500K RP per vehicle you want to add bushes to. Per bush.
You don’t get a set of bushes in a few weeks, barely in a few years.
I want you to circle the weasel 1a2 in this picture, keeping in mind that it has perfectly clear vision of me and is aiming a tow 2 at my head
Please activate windows before asking me to do anything.

You wouldn’t be able to see him without bushes either, infact if he was using the neon green bushes everyone uses he would probably be easier to spot.

Circle a Weasel when its behind you, circle the Pe8 when its a mile above you.
Welcome to War Thunder!
So what bushes do you own?

Holy compression, you even have jpeg artifacts in that.
How do you expect anybody to pick ANYTHING out of this image when it has the quality of a 480px PNG?
I got a few, why?
I just wondered if you were one of those people who talked about bushes without even owning them or using them.
Why would anybody play a tank game and worry about concealment and camouflage as part of that game? It’s a tanking basic.

I obtained some bushes when it was more reasonable to do, and they weren’t tied into some grindy BP or cycled in and out of the shop for literally no good reason, I only use them on a few vehicles due to the blatant advantage it gives and avoid them where I can since they look absolutely hideous.
If you use the British Helmet on the Jagdpanzer IV you can confuse the enemy from a distance into thinking the helmet is the weakpoint of the tank, rather than the right side which is the real weakpoint.

I bought mine with big greedy corporate cash : ) I also flashed my white privilege card for good measure.
