Only 100 War Bonds??? While I can maybe see reducing the conversion rate lower than the typical 1,600 War Bonds for upgrade coupons, it should have only gone down to something like 800 War Bonds at the most. Since the current upgrade coupons took exactly 50% less points/effort to obtain. But 100 War Bonds is just petty.
Recompute with the word “extra” inserted, then it makes more sense.
The battlepass upgrade coupons are also only worth 100 WB.
1600 WB for cupon on console is just straight scam… Like no… go to Market of PC see how much it is and give us way to exchange it for GE…
Like I dont care about WB shop with rank 2-3 vehicles and random rank 1-5 talismans…
Stop scaming us Console players with these bad offers

So, it’s (deliberately) hard to do an apples-to-apples comparison here. But here’s one way to look at it.
For the last single-vehicle event (IAR), if you went for the coupon, that was an additional 355,000 score on top of the 245,000 you needed for sellable. (This varies by length of event and score per star, just using this as one example.) If you didn’t have the 1,600 WB option, there would be no value console players could get from that additional 355,000 score. Works out to 220 score per 1 WB.
For the Christmas event, for each vehicle you could ground an additional star #10. #9 gets you the camo, so arguably you’re compensating for only one star and 40,000 modified score with the WB option (or 80,000 if you count the gap between stars 8 and 10). For this you’re getting 100 WB, which works out to either 400 or 800 modified score per 1 WB, so either half- or quarter-rewards efficiency wise compared to the last single-vehicle event.
I would agree it’s not a good deal on these terms, and console players should probably stop trying to get these after the 8th or 9th star and do something else fun with their lives if that’s the way it’s going to be. But at the same rate of 220 score per WB as the IAR event had, they wouldn’t be entitled to more than 3-400 WB as the console exchange rate for the star #10 award. So you might be getting overgenerous there, by about a factor of two.

So after I got scammed with F-14 IRIAF I dont even play events because I see it as waste of time if you on console.
Like I grinded for that extra cupon so that people on PC can earn 60 dollars or whatver the price was and I can exchange it in 10 days for 1600 wb…
So I just did Kafir in this event (although I will never play that country anything) and now I have cupon for him and its just useless to me… just waste of time…
Like Im just waiting for ability to transfer account on PC so I that my grind is worthy like this its just waste of time.

There is no need to go personal. After all, it was you who compared different events in the first place.
All I did was to provide another data point and suggest another computational method, namely the EXTRA effort needed between “to own” and “to sell” that happens with your apples and oranges.
With the battle pass and the other event, the extra effort to sell is of the same order of magnitude as the effort needed to own. With this event, it is a quarter only.
Look at a battle pass vehicle. It says: Event Vehicle: Battle pass…
So tone down!

Listings should be going up soon. Earliest possible time for them to be listed:
2025-01-13T11:00:00Z
(This time and date automatically adjusts to your computer/device’s internally set time and date. Ie, this SHOULD show your local time and date.)
What you paid for them isn’t what they are worth!
i know 750 of them for 1 vehicle with i can´t research effective cuz i got no more vehicle at this BR to research
Yep - thinking you were getting a vehicles was a fools errand :(
I bought a few hundred - not sure how many - but I was after the 20/30/50% RP boosters - anything else useful I got was a bonus.
And I am happy with what I got because it was exactly what I wanted.

It is easy to estimate beforehand the prices.
Each mark of distinction is 6€.
So, getting the vehicle via marks of distinction, it’s 6€ x 8 = 48€. And, if you play a bit every day. You may get each mark for even less or get a few entirely, making it cheaper.
Therefore, these vehicles will rarely ever (if ever) go beyond 48€. They will mostly be around 25-35€, depending on the interest and available supply.
Prices used to go higher when you couldn’t just GE the event vehicles, like the crafting events, etc; so the only way to get them without grinding was to purchase them on the Marketplace.
Now, the only cases in which vehicles may go higher is if people happened to want them much later and if supply is very limited.
