Battle Pass Season 22: “The Elusive Musketeer” and Its Warbond Shop!

The Mosquito is treated oddly considering it’s so well documented, and the Nordic planes only add to the problem. Still bemused by the fudged F.II, realism left the game years ago.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the J30 gets bombs and rockets simply because as a guns only it’s a hard sell. Maybe Sim Air players will get some use out the radar because I doubt many others will. The 4 blade props won’t give a major boost considering they are still the same engines.

I think they would have been better served adding the J30 as a Swedish Squadron, and give the Israelis a premium as their tree is even thinner.

This BP will be a minimal effort from me.

this is just the first prototype of the tank in real life
by your logic it’s like having the pz 3 in the game and saying it’s the same game like company of heroes

Well, that’s extremely disappointing, the new ELC and the ELC Bis will never get to have 360° turret traverse in any capacity.

I wanted to check the loading screen reward and I noticed this issue:

Spoiler

(It’s the Re.2005 VDM from the previous season)

Sweet, most tasks are doable in ASB. Premium mossie woo.

Battlepass tank is kinda meh. Sherman III/IV is ridiculously OP on the other hand. It’s waaay better than US M4 at 3.7 - no weakspots, waaay more powerfull engine, same BR.
Pure pay2win, basically similar level to SAV, but here you trade insane ROF and 1-shot kills for a TON of frontal armor that could make KV-1E blush.

Does the first challenge not say player vehicles?

Selective realism

Since there is atleast XIX marks (variants) lets add them all and call them uniques.

GAIJIN is really lazy. Players want the previous vehicle, so they replace the new vehicle in the pass with the old one, which reduces the workload. GAIJIN has increased a lot of players in the past few years, but has it still not increased its staff? Still exploiting the staff?

This battle pass is a skip, all low br vehicles, nothing really notably worth it.

@Smin1080p_WT

Please tell me this is a joke. The tech tree tank is just vastly better, the lowest reward I already have all the ships but one, which isn’t that good.

The plane is also a disappointment.

If this BP is not for you vehicle wise, there will always be the next one to check out.

The J30 is a unique swedish variant and quite an enjoyable little premium to play, whilst the ELC is another variant of a well known tank to many as a premium.

Both are ideal candidates for the Battlepass as they take nothing away from the tech tree but also offer unique variants.

This is true, but it’d be nice to swap around that low tier naval box, for say an old event vehicle or something at the mid ranks.

Seeing a helicopter, or rank 6 premium battle pass vehicle would be nice, or a battleship… just ideas, but given the streak of rank 4 and below vehicles, I don’t see that happening.

indeed but there was a update a few months ago that bots should be treated like players in all bp tasks and challenges…

Well then it is an issue

disagree. It has an abysmally weak turret. Its nice because of the engine but one of the easiest to deal with. Definitely not OP.

I free aced all of them and my favourite one by far was the calliope. The rockets are beautiful

The turret is a volumetric nightmare. I once shot it 5 times in a row using Kwk 40 and all bounced. III/IV has fully stsbilised (I know it’s single plane, but for WT it works perfectly) gun on a rapid moving turret, best mobility in the business, excellent reload and insanely good hull.

But yeah, I checked it and if one’s lucky, it will get penetrated. But the fact I have to count on luck is “highly unfortunate”.

Anywhere around the gun will penetrate with m61 shot from 500m.

Even the regular shermans with the better mantlet, if you shoot its left side of the mantlet (while facing it) youll penetrate.

You also have the smaller turret weakspot where its cut out.

Honesltly ive never had an issue with them, if they come around a corner aggresively, lower side, if theyre head on turret mantlet.

Anyway youre an arb player so im gonna chalk it down to experience/ youre getting unlucky
