Issue is the Mk 2 is needed to play the latter half UK 6.0 range Yes the vehicle it’s made of already was in the game, however it was sorely needed to fill a gap in the UK tree. And now it’s an event leaving that critical gap open still.
So to me the Cent Mk 2 is an example of a bad BP prize. As it lacks of being researchable is felt.
A good PB prize as I said is either C&P or even better yet Gimmick vehicles which I think are the perfect BP rewards, so thinks like the Churchill Crocodile, where the the codes based on it’s already in the TT and it has a gimmick the not completely useless but you aren’t missing out on anything if you don’t have it.
It’s titled “The Last Legionnaire”, which is funny because:
–the profile pic is of a French Legion pioneer, who are primarily famous for always being the “FIRST legionnaire”, as they only come out for parades and march at the head of the column, and that is literally the whole point of them, to be the first and ceremonially “clear the way”; and
–the top prize (M46) was never used by the Legion. In fact, it was never used by the French except for conversion training until their M47s arrived a little while later, that was their actual operational tank.
Id rather a unique vehicle get actually added to the game but added through the Battlepass than never added at all as Gaijin hates unique TT additions these days.
I dont think this should have been tech tree like apparently a other people do since france only ever received a couple M46’s to train M47 crews, but as the main reward for a battle pass this is pathetic. With the 5 minutes you put into changing the model slightly from the american version, you could have kitbashed something actually unique like the french 105 in an M47, or the 60mm hvg in a chaffee
Italy had actually received some American M-46s, but in small numbers and in poor condition, they were not even used and were sent directly to the scrap heap.
They could at least do some unique 3d cosmetics and even better base it off a historical vehicle with an interesting story. Copy pastes would be much more interesting to grind for…
Yeah they could still make them more unique with some camo netting and 3d decorations and or base it off a historical vehicle with an interesting story. Much more incentive to grind for.
It’s so easy to add the M24 HVMS Super Chaffee, just change the original barrel for the same one that the AUBL/74 HVG has and you would have a unique vehicle that would not be considered copy/paste, but no, the snail likes to make the least effort possible.
