I’m aware of the origin, Semi = Half, consider SAP shells, its wordplay based on that.
I disagree with your interpretation, but of course it’s subjective - gambling is a monetization method, acquisition is the primary goal of gatcha IMO
its not the origin, its the only definition
what youre describing with everything else you attribute to being ‘semi-gacha’ is just how all free to play MMOs have basically always worked
most gacha games dont even have a tech tree/unlock structure
Just make Advance available to the community again and make adjustments as needed. Gaijin does the same thing for every other mode.
Wait a minute, how did I miss this!?
Welp, F me.
no thanks
We used to have similar game modes with sequential capture of points… no idea why they were removed - probably too complicated for player base and/or Gaijin’s stupid BR system means they can’t actually be “balanced”
They need to bring it back and make it permanent.

I understand not wanting nation based matchmaking in random battles, but could we bring it back as events like this too? Was super fun back in the day to have Allies vs Axis, NATO vs Soviets, etc.

Part of the issue is that back in the day nations felt a lot more unique
The comp of nations on each side lead to some strategic depth considering the capabilities of what your opponents and teammates would have
While you still have some of this, like at BR 6.7 or so, the deluge of imported copy-paste designs means that regardless of whether you do nation based matchmaking or not it won’t feel like it did incites 2018
Testing period for this version of the event ended July 6th (11:00 GMT).
New test window is on and can be discussed here:
