Well if I count the last 3 years the majority of event vehicles have been British, German, or USA.
Notice that I haven’t made a single judgement over its performance in my phrasing. I mentioned that, given the fact that I owned it (via lootboxes), I gave it a chance and I’m steadily grinding Italy with it.
And so, event vehicles effectively help people on giving incentives to grind other tech trees besides the top three. I would’ve never got my hands on Italy ground if I didn’t owned the AUBL, period.

I got mine from loot boxes. It’s still a bad tank. 0.3 br under things like the T58, and Turm III, while having a dart with 249 pen, and little to no post pen damage… I’d rather see it stay 8.0 and jus get a good reload buff for its first stage ammo to make it good.
They’ve realized something like Italy or Israel will never even come close in popularity to the big tree, so they give better treatment to their cash cows.

Honestly, it’s not that great of a vehicle. Easily 50cal-able, it has a thing with the driver’s port which kills some of your depression on your right, and the round has abysmal spalling, though I believe its related to how Gaijin has modelled round calibers over time. But hey, its amphibious!
And I’d be lying to you if I havent got the same thought of getting the FIROS and make a humble lineup to grind Italy with them.

- The amount of vehicles over-all isn’t my complaint here, it’s the fact that we’ve had three events with USSR vehicles as main rewards IN A ROW
- I would be complaining about any other nation getting three events in a row, not just the USSR, but so far, that hasn’t happened.
- I’m not happy about the fact that major nations get the majority of event vehicles either, but again, that’s not my complaint
Not with ARENA APS
Would be actually nice if big 3 mostly got only event vehicles for some time and exchanged places with some “minor” nations during big updates, receiving 1 vehicle each time at most. At least until other nations (including their subtrees) come somewhere close to amount of researchable vehicles big 3 have.
Yes, with arena APS, the T72B3AM in the techtree literally has A in it cuz of “Arena” lol
That’s a B3M with arena it has better ERA protection
Yes, so whats the point of your message exactly?
Lower (ish) BR because no relikt
??? pick a side
Well we haven’t had 3 in a row. R400 split them up.
Nor IS THE WINTER EVENT A RUSSIAN EVENT.
Lastly, Britain has been eating better than everyone else it seems
T72B3 does not equal T72B3M B3M has commander thermals and a (marginally) better engine so t72b3A would be slightly lower than the T72B3AM
And again I’m talking marginally not a very large difference
Even all russia event happened last year are mid.
T34-85
Mig25
Lmao they did nothing
Thanks captain obvious, everybody knows it will be slightly lower, but you said “yeah but no arena aps” then agree, then completely go off-rails, pick a side dude, and the techtree variant is its younger revised brother, its the same vehicle but now offered as an event with a worse engine and armor
If we really want to get down brass tacks the one in the tech tree has Arena m and not regular Arena
The R400 (November) came before the AK-225 (December)
I get it, I shouldn’t have said “Third USSR/Russia event in a row”, but rather “Third event with a USSR/Russian vehicle as a main reward in a row”
If the Ak-225 happened before the R400 (like you seem to believe) I wouldn’t be complaining
And again, I would be complaining if this happened with any other nation as well
Please refer to this part of my previous response
Not the most exciting vehicle, but it could still fill some sort of gap around the 11.0 and 11.3 area where now only the T-90A or BMPT are. If that’s the case I’ll still get it.
