Duplicate Vehicles: Why We Add Them

[MertisWee]

London variant?

Your Requests

My request is that some vehicles that are currently premium be made into specific variants, like the GE italian P40 and instead add them normally into the tech tree.
Most notably the PaK Puma and Hungarian vehicles. More PaK Pumas existed than stabilized T-34s and that gets to go into the USSR TT for some reason. Your options are buying one for 200 bucks on the market, or for some vehicles you can’t get them at all like the Turan 2. 0.0001% off SL crates.

Like look at this. This is just gross.
I love how Rank 4-5 HU doesn’t even have a tank. You have a cold war howitzer and a BTR APC.

There’s actually quite a few that can fit that gap but gajin is lazy so

You left a few operative words out of the quote

Germany has light tank gaps below 8.0, and arguably is missing a 120mm direct fire option at top tier that’s concealable or has mobility (tracked boxer is neither)

Germany has tons of missing light tanks in the 8.0 to 10.3 range like the PM2, Tam c2-a2, Tam S 21, VTS-1, Marder 1a3 OTO Melara 105, and arguable the Keiler et.01 and 02 (from a mobility perspective).

But the WW2/early Cold War period is spotty.

fourm warriors are raged with this one nice work stona

just got in to this game a year ago and its already getting downhill from what i am seeing

There’s even a way to go about this that makes the premium versions interesting and distinct from their TT ported version. Many of the premium/reward vehicles that need this treatment were vehicles that saw service, and were therefore subject to field-mods and whatnot that could be given to the premiums.

Here’s three examples just to illustrate my point:

KV-2 (1940) with hull side applique

M8 LAC with dual .50 cals

Sd.Kfz 234/4 with dual MG81 Zs

@Metal Bandit

Sdkfz 234/4 with looks like twins MG 81z from a plane.

There is 2 lynx 120 variants tracked boxer 120 (idk what you said no there lmao) so 🤷‍♀️ there’s 3 options

[poopooo]

I agree with you. I probably wouldn’t do it with all those tanks, but both the Toldi IIA and the Turan II should be in the tech tree because both tanks were the backbone of the Hungarian army. It would be like putting the M4, the T-34-76, or the Pz4H as a hidden event tank in their respective countries.

We often use export vehicles and other smaller nations to fill gameplay gaps in the trees. Our aim with this is to add variety to lineups, enhancing the gameplay aspect itself, and also to include the vehicle arsenal of smaller nations that often go underappreciated. Although this is a positive, the downside is that the unique feeling of each primary nation can feel diluted.

Can you just reduce the RP/SL costs of duplicate vehicles for players that already have that specific vehicle researched ?

Grinding 300-400k RP for your 7th Leopard simply isn’t fun for many as it gets extremely boring and repetitive.

@Bergebis

Marder 1a3 OTO Melara 105

Just for the future that’s typically called the Marder MBT or FSV

[Bergebis]

@Leo2A6EX-live

idk what you said no there lmao

I said the tracked boxer isn’t going to be super mobile or concealable

I’ll have to look into the Lynx 120, I wasn’t aware of that variant and will have to learn more about it

[GxneralEagle-live]

one thing tho maybe we can get to vote on prems in game??

[LTSarcasm]

Amusingly enough, as an oldhead, I have an IS-7. And KV-220.

@Stona_WT

Dutch F-16AM, a variant not already in the tree, which uses a different radar and the LITENING pod.

Bruh. When will Belgium’s F-16AM be changed to the APG-66(V)2?
I don’t understand why an accepted report has been left untouched for two years.

@Bergebis

tracked boxer isn’t going to be super mobile or concealable

I mean tracked boxer 120mm had a 1200hp engine while weighting 42t and a top speed of about 70 kph. It would keep up with more Mobile tanks without issue. Sure the tracked boxer is a little fat but still

In general we know that some players would prefer effective and interesting premium vehicles, but at the same time, do not want important or unique vehicles outside of the research tree. On the other hand, if a premium vehicle is a variant that’s already in the game, some players express their disinterest and ask for something more unique instead. This makes premium vehicle additions difficult to manage, but we try to find a suitable solution when deciding to add premium vehicles.

dishonest, vague-posting, blaming the playerbase.
And it doesn’t even make sense when the F-14 (barely even) D is a premium that comes at the cost of a AAA videogame. Or the Toldi II, out of which there are only two variants, a serial-produced version and an experimental one, and you all locked the serial-produced version behind battlepass and SL gamba boxes. Hugely damaging the potential uniqueness of the Hungarian sub-tree. Or there is the serial-produced Turan II…locked behind battlepass and gamba boxes.
So much for not wanting " important or unique vehicles outside of the research tree".

No unique vehicle should be GE premium, especially when it comes at the cost of the tech tree missing out on it completely. And the same goes for event vehicles.
Premiums are there to speed up the grind. And the factor of profit should not damage the uniqueness of a tech tree.

We need more modules that have to be repaired as well.
