Ahhh man i can already smell the fomo burnout on the way lmao, i can’t see the community lasting more than 4/5 grinding events before it all kicks off again.
While I like that there are discounts for doing research, I still think, the steps are ridiculous.
85% research for 50% discount? That means that you still need to do nearly 40k score points.
95% research for 80% discount? Why? What is the logic?
Why can’t we have the discount be exactly what was researched?
Or at least steps of 10%
10% research = 10% discount, etc.

While it’s not optimal it’s still better than nothing, it might help you in case you really can’t/ don’t want to put in a couple of more games due to work or whatever.
There was a guy in general chat who always managed to get his star basically just before the new one started, might be due to timezone and his work schedule, for these ppl this might come in handy.
Pure profit. If you are able to do 85% or 95%, you are able to get the 100% with a few more matches. The only situation I can think of it being useful is if you have any kind of problem that makes you unable to finish it on time like a blackout or something similar. But honestly I would rather buy the whole mark for 999GE without playing than to play 85% or 95% and still pay for the rest.

Its quite sad, Planes are much more harder to Grind compared to Ground Vehicles. Unless there will be right multiplier. Yet i though this will be something Unique like Russian Object 292. As first event with Jet i though they’ll drop something unique and somewhere between meta and good. By existing stats of similar jets, this is average at best. Anyway thanks for opportunity to grind again, but i will skip this one. That’s my opinion
Yeah, could have still been a Jag, but should have been 1 with a radar, at least make it a little unique. This is just a C&P of a Gr1B. It’s a tad lazy
That is you, for me planes are much easier to grind than tanks… with the easiest being naval, fast grind in a class of their own (the only problem in naval is that queue times are much longer than for air or ground).
The few, not the many . . . please go try playing Air AB at 4.3 BR for the first couple of stars/marks. Where if the games aren’t ended in half the time of normal by a “few” players hammering ground targets before anyone(including themselves) can muster any type of decent score. Or game lasts a somewhat normal time, and still, maybe 1 - 5 TOTAL players score 2000 game score points ALL before getting hit with a 10% PENALTY, simply because they are not playing high tier or RB/Sim . . . please do this and come back with a explanation of how it is in any way, fair, equitable or reasonable, because . . . . it ain’t. And the same goes for tanks, which are actually more difficult to score in but have basically the same results. Players are not free to play what the want or enjoy, they are herded like cattle to play what Gaijin wants them to play for no good reason. They have consistently made each event harder to accomplish for the average/regular players specifically for the past several years. There is ZERO data provided to explain any of those changes and it is not hard to imagine they do this merely to try and generate revenue, which I get. But the selective gimping of over half the vehicles via this ridiculous “multiplier” system is just . . . . meh, I don’t have the words, but I think you might get the idea I am trying to present . . . you can basically multiply the times you are saying required to do this stuff by a minimum of 5 . . . . it’s absurd

But the average forum reader doesn’t care.
They think everyone plays realistic BR 10 for 4 hours a day.
That’s why for them it’s always very easy events.

They are going to do it in Air SB with rockets just like YouTube told them. Only them and Gaijin still think the event game mode multipliers are OK and fair.
They know the majority of players play AB, but they use RB as a standard for every change. They never cared about AB since always.

the mutliplier for SB is fair. But Gaijin need to fix the score reward for certain actions. Like using rockets on an AF. That is the only problem on that front. SB is a lot harder than AB or RB and should reward more. Especially when every action (and thus score reward) takes 3 or 4 times longer.
You just told us why it isn’t fair. The multipliers are fair if for the same effort everyone gets the same reward and that is not what is currently happening.
Doing the event in 1 hour doesn’t seem fair to other players that have to play 3-4 times more.

Howizers, cars, light tanks, low-quality medium tanks in the rear like the ones on Spain, light pillboxes…

I did air events from 2019 - 2021 using the 4.7 P-47 arcade lineup.

Sigh
In SB, a target such as a base is LITERALLY 3 or 4 times further to fly than a base in RB. Likewise the enemy team is further away and more spread out.
So you can probably spawn, rush a base, kill it, die and repeat in RB 2 or 3 times in the time it would take to fly and hit just 1 base in SB. Combine with the full controls, cockpit view and no markers. SB is harder than RB. So that too should add on the mutliplier.
SB does have one major advantage. There is always something to hit. In RB you have an entire team fighting over 4 bases. Meanwhile in SB you can always just hit the enemy AFs.
The ONLY problem. Is the score reward for certain actions. Rockets generate way too much (and potentially actually do too much damage, there is literally a thread on that) but also the specific actions reward potentially a little too much as well. Like just damaging bases and AFs. The bulk of the score reward should come from killing a base or completing objectives and not from dumping bombs or rockets on the runway.
But the 3x Multiplier should remain. Because SB IS harder and does take a lot longer than RB.

You admit the problem but since you benefit with it you are OK with keeping things like they are.
I want multipliers to be fair for ALL game modes, not just 1 (or 2). And since this “action”(to not call it an exploit) is done in higher tiers, those that do it have a even bigger benefit due to the rank multiplier.
It’s not me doing the videos about it to get the views.
If RB and SB had identical reward multipliers. Then doing the exact same actions in both would take twice, maybe even 3 times longer to complete each token in SB.
Why is that so hard to understand, the maps are MASSIVELY bigger than they are in RB.
You are literally saying that people who play SB should be punished because their maps are bigger.

what are you on about
SIM is harder due to it being long and having to use sim controls which is harder
The problem with you that benefit with multipliers is that you ALWAYS assume that I’m asking for your rewards to be lower, I don’t care about your rewards. I care that all players are treated equally.
Same effort = same reward
It has nothing to do with how big maps are, if you are able to do the event in 1h due to something that is clearly not balanced, then why shouldn’t I just cause I play a different game mode?

Did I ever said that SIM was easier? I just said that the multipliers are unfair when the same effort brings different rewards.
So me putting in 3x the time and effort in SB than I would in RB should result in the same reward?
How is that fair ?
