Bring back marathon vehicles through rerun events

I would like to suggest bringing back old marathon and event vehicles through special rerun events.

Many iconic vehicles such as the IS-7, Object 279 and Object 292 are no longer obtainable through gameplay. New players who joined later never had a chance to earn them, while current events often offer vehicles that are very similar to existing ones.

My suggestion is simple:

Occasionally rerun old event vehicles instead of introducing another clone reward.

Players should complete difficult event tasks, just like the original owners did.

The vehicles should not be given away for free. They should still require time and effort.

Benefits:

New players get a chance to earn vehicles that are currently unavailable.

Events become more exciting because the rewards are unique and highly desired.

Developers can reuse existing content without needing to create another clone vehicle.

The original owners do not lose their achievement because new players would still need to complete a full event to earn the vehicle.

Examples of vehicles that could return like :

IS-7

Object 279

Object 292

Other past event vehicles

Many players would rather see the return of a vehicle than another event reward that is only a small variation of an existing vehicle.

Thank you for reading.

The answer from Gaijin about event vehicules is simple :
“new players can’t be expecting to have what veterans does”

It’s true to many vehicules in-game already.

Such answer have been delivered multiple times in the past, through official statements.

Unless you buy them for 1500 GJN on the marketplace

I understand Gaijin’s position, but I don’t think one-time availability is always the best solution.

Somebody veteran players have already stopped playing, while many new players never had a chance to earn these vehicles in the first place.

I would rather see the return of legendary event vehicles than another event reward that is only a minor variation of an existing vehicle.

Players would still need to complete a difficult event, just like the original owners did. The vehicle would not be free.

In my opinion, rerunning old event vehicles occasionally would be more interesting than constantly introducing new clone vehicles with small differences.

That is exactly one of the reasons why I suggest rerun events. New players currently have no realistic way to obtain these vehicles except paying extreme marketplace prices.

From which Gaijin takes a cut… so whadayathink your chances are of getting them for free?? Hmm…???

Two types of players here

  1. No! I already have them so I don’t want anybody else to get them because I want people to mirin I have exclusive item bro that feels good

  2. People who don’t have them and wants it to be made obtainable again.

Last time I saw the biggest 1. dude here who say flakpanzer 341 should be made available again but NOT tiger 105 and panther 2, while trying to understand what was his motive I went ahead and check his stats and do you know what do I found? He owns the tiger 105 and panther 2 but he didn’t have the 341. Lmao what a POS

I agree that Gaijin earns from marketplace transactions.

However, rerun events would not remove that system. These vehicles would still remain limited and valuable, and many players would still prefer buying or selling coupons through the marketplace.

In fact, bringing back iconic event vehicles could increase demand and marketplace activity, since more players would become interested in obtaining them. This could also lead to more transactions and therefore more revenue from fees.

So I don’t see rerun events as a replacement for the marketplace, but rather as something that could work alongside it and even increase overall activity.

i’m a 2013 veteran,
yes i have some of those, not all but some,

yet i don’t complain on the rarity aspect,… because:

  • most of those vehicules are currently prototypes that never seen combat and can’t be modeled as accurately as the legacy tanks which made the world.

  • some are even so unbalanced that it is impossible to balanced them correctly

  • some even have been introduced despite the technical impossibilty of their layout.

So it’s clearly best to rule them out, and shrines them as Veteran gifts for playing the game early.

i’m not here to blame anyone,… i’m here to expend on why it’s not a good idea, and why it should stay as it have been done.

to add to my answer to @DYXHEKPOMAHT :
we shall definetly not see them back through Events or Battlepass, or anyone would rage-post on this forum to get the one they lacks, and Moderation would have no time to deal with the massive amount of BS it will result in.

the current moderation team already have trouble sometimes to deal with the “hot topics” of the forum. (with all due respect )

Marketplace is another story,… i’m addressing the subject upfront, no side-aspects.

That is exactly what you have proposed.

rerun events should be way harder to do than original, but sure

They actually did try rerunning an even vehicle once and got massive backlash, however that was more due to it being a fairly recent event one, less than a year, so pretty much everyone that wanted it had just gotten it (it was the Whirlwind P9 if I recall).
Unfortunately I think that pretty well soured the idea of event reruns in Gaijins eyes. But I would like to see the older events come back, there are a number of things I would like, but missed due to life not allowing the time to do events.

yeah, the old gimme all the stuff I don’t have but don’t you DARE let other people get the stuff I do! It’s like reading the USA/German mains trying to justify every other vehicle in the game going into their TT’s, while furiously attacking and suggestion that their export vehicles should go to their operators.
I hate hypocrites.

I would love them to bring back old event vehicles such as the IS-7, or at the ver least offer major discount to new players who are willing to buy them like in the range of 50% to 60%. Gajiin would still make a lot of money and new players would have the oportunity to buy them at a discount price.

Never happening.
There are people in this game that grind 1.000.000.000 SL to gamble on crates and get the vehicle they wanted. And now you’re just telling “Yup, I want it easy and right now”. That would be so rude when you consider how much time them mad lads wasted on it.

better idea remove them entirely event vehicles do nothing but cause strife they should not be a thing especially since they have there own stock market

squadrons should replace event tanks as its fair to everyone

That is their choice, when people are that dumb to do so no one else should have to do that. If the comunity units around premium vehicles and their price beleive me they would become available to everyone at affordible rates.
