We will see. This is actually interesting, because this is the first rank 3 premium vehicle in the new event cycle. If I knew it will cost e.g. 5 GJN, I wouldn’t even grind the event. I would just buy it at the marketplace. But because I’m not sure about the price (and I fear a bit it may cost more than I think it will), I’m grinding the event.
The Yak-3 is just a copy-pasted tech tree plane. There is absolutely nothing unique about it, so I really don’t think it will be that expensive. I grind it only because I really like how the Yak-3 performs. It’s one of my favorite planes in the game, so I just want to have a premium version of it.
At the same time, the vehicle is definitely unique and you can get a very good gun at a relatively low BR. At 7.3 you can kill basically anything with this gun. The Object 292 is pretty much all about the gun as well, and its price was high on the marketplace. Maybe just because it was the very first event in the new cycle, I don’t know.
It probably makes sense to wait with selling it or just activate it. In my opinion this whole grind wasn’t worth 15 GJN. I’m surprised players sell this vehicle for that price to be honest. After all, it is a bit unique vehicle with the “IS-7 gun”. You can feel like the IS-7 player in a full downtier. Of course I’m joking ;).
Which means you could easily do the crafting events the same way (42k per day required, the new events require 43k per day). The difference is, during crafting events you could get 2 vehicles for 42k per day and you could play any game mode you wanted. Now you are restricted to specific game mode and can only get 1 vehicle for 43k per day.
I understand your logic. If you play that much daily anyway, you see this as just something extra (even if that was 1 GJN). But it’s a fact you get much less now for the same effort as before.
I complete daily tasks much quicker than grind 42-43k score, so I’m not doing the new events fully. I don’t think it’s worth the extra grind. The vehicle coupons value was bad even in the old events cycle, but I still grinded and sold some of them. Now it’s pathetic in my opinion and it’s just not worth my time.
Well,the key (at least for me) is having a primary goal and having the medal be considered a secondary goal
For example,i wanted to speed up the grind of the M1A2 and the 120S,and guess what: i finished the research for both of them while doing the event
All pros and no cons
Now i’ll reduce the grind (currently grinding the M551 lol) and wait for the Summer Sales to buy and try both the M1A2 and the 120S (already knowing full well that the M1A2 is garbage and i’ll simply stick again to the M1A1/HC lineup)
Hang on, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the event Yak-3 slightly unique? It has the armament of the Yak-9 but aircraft of yak-3. So wouldn’t it be almost better than the yak-3? That is the 4.3 one
depends on what Yak-9 you are talking about, but its slightly faster and has one 12.7mm and one 20mm compared to the normal Yak-3’s two 12.7mm and one 20mm
I guess it depends what is a unique vehicle for you.
For me it’s just a Yak-3 with 1 less gun at a slightly lower BR:
At least it will be at a different BR, so I guess you could call it slightly unique in this sense.
BTW: I’m not complaining about this reward. Imo it’s fine as a reward. It’s just not nice it requires so much grind. In old events these low rank premium vehicles were pretty much free in Summer/Winter events (you would get them at the stage 4 just by grinding 8 stages for event vehicles). Now it’s a separate event you have to grind.
Is normal that low price. The main redward of this event is a no premiun sniper tank wihtout any good lineup posibility, added when Gaijin is removing almost every sniping spot and map from the game.
