Yes sir! My bad.
Really I don’t think getting them back would be that great. I have seen the IS-7 multiple times and it normally gets blasted by someone with a apds or HEAT-FS. even with a APFSDS sometimes I have only see nthe E-100 a few, very few, times
I can deny them as they were being given at certain time.
You can earn new ones instead.
you know I didn’t know that the EBR1954 was unattainable now. I thought they just got slapped in the event vehicle side of the tree
Rare vechicles should stay rare
The problem with that you suggest is the marketplace. Those vehicles were limited run, and that is noones “fault”. It’s an event, if you didn’t get the rewards then that’s on you, if you didn’t know/weren’t playing then it can’t be helped. When those vehicles are so rare and rackbup a price of 100s or 1000s of dollars, you can’t simply add more of them without effecting real world money for those players. People are willing to pay for those vehicles and an IS-7 having buy orders for over 1500 USD shows that they are a collectors item. Just imagine if Gaijin added them back as a .01% chance in a crate. That would crash those prices and screw over players that did the event. New players aren’t entitled to have access to everything in the game if they haven’t played the entire life cycle. Things change, and you have to deal with those changes if you start today or a decade ago. It would be different if the marketplace didn’t exist, because then these vehicles wouldn’t hold real cash value that can be lost if these vehicles are given out again.

Especially given that crafting event for the IS-7. Pure chaos. Would never do it again. Congrats on getting them when they were available.
To everyone:
Think of the IS-7 and E-100 like the Panther 2 and Tiger 2 10.5. no longer available. Simple as.
I agree with you, but did you notice that gaijin has started to reproduce some of the old vehicles in the Silver Lion boxes, and this new supply has changed the market balance? To be honest I just bought an AMX-50 in the market because its price has decreased, my suggestion is to increase the stock of these vehicles in the market by a small amount and balance their trading price to a reasonable range. Also, do you have any vehicles you wanted, but didn’t get?
true. but there for a while the EBR was anything but rare lol
E-100 was (maybe still is) a reward vehicle for tournaments winners. Originally only 700 of them were given out…
I don’t want to see the E-100’s value and rarity being destroyed by giving them out in a lootbox…
PS: I don’t own the E-100
How many players do you think got upset because their vehicle coupon, that they haven’t ever used, lost value? If I had an vehicle cupon for something worth 100s, and the price went down because more were added, I’d be asking Gaijin for some compensation. The entire point of a marketplace like in Warthunder is for PLAYERS to set the prices by supply/demand. Gaijin intervening in pricing looks shady as they are the ones that profit from the marketplace sales.
I started playing in late 2022, there are a ton of vehicles I don’t have from the marketplace I’d live to have. I just recently got a PC transfer, and I’ve already gotten quite a few marketplace vehicles, and may get more.
But what you said is already happening, gaijin is already trying to increase the number of those older vehicles. The trophy boxes is already have a lot of vehicle rewards, such as the m60, which is a bonus from a World War event, but Gaijin added it to the box because there are too few of them.
You probably don’t know how the stock market works, it’s your problem that you took a risk and didn’t sell the tank, you could hold and hope that the price will rise or lose, that’s how adult life works, on irl you also cry if you lose on the stock market?
I have the IS-7
sorry but you missed out lol
The stock market also isn’t controlled by a singular company that profits off of every transaction made. You don’t use currency to “buy in” to the stock market, you just use currency. Similar systems? Yes. Exactly the same in concept and excecution? No.
I think that is a shady business practice in this case. It is encouraging people to buy Gaijin coin to buy these cheaper rare vehicles by artificially inflating the amounts. More people will by something if the price is lower. You adding to the market to drive the price down so you will profit from more people buying Gaijin coin is market manipulation and isn’t a good look. I want to add that it is their marketplace and their game and they can do what they wish at any time. My opinion means nothing to them, and it shouldn’t to be honest.
I don’t feel bad for your vitriol, I own most of the vehicles, even the E-100 and Is-7. I used to be a player on the WT Chinese server, but it eventually shut down, so I lost the account I used to have. But I’ve played with a lot of interesting vehicles, and I’m just representing a subset of players who are eager to get them, but don’t have the opportunity.
There were a bit more cause they added a exclusive E-100 event for PS4 players . There was a delay with Dog Tags on PS Store that made PS4 players miss some of those initial E-100 events that were only available to Dog Tag owners.
I don’t own E-100 but I regret not having participated at the time(I was starting playing tanks then) since basically every PS4 player that participated got one.

Thanks for the info, I didn’t know that. I was there back then, even bought the Dog Tags but didn’t participate for I knew there was no way for me to be amongst the best tankers… :)

Found it:
As you can see it was held a bit later compared to the first tournaments, and gave 200 E-100s to PS4 players.
