They should, but that’s on another page
I wonder if War Thunder would be a better game if everybody had to pay and I wonder if everybody who plays it would pay?
Nope you can see that in others games, like WoW. Only because you pay the game isn’t better or get better as you wish.

The ones that went up 5.00, didn’t their br change, as in went up? Even though many were lower, after the br went up so did the price Im guessing.
The problem isn’t the price increase itself, but the fact that there was no notice at all given to the players.
It was only noticed by those of us who make regular purchases. This is what left me upset— the company isn’t being transparent with the players, and this is really discouraging me.

The only two vehicles that are $75 for the USA market are the two rank 8 premiums, which were always $75.
Nothing more is $75.
On top of that, the only ground vehicles that are $65 are those that are rank 7, and were always $65 from being rank 7.
Gaijin has never changed their prices to adjust for inflation EXCEPT for the 1000 and 2500 GE options.
Gaijin would do so similar to how DCS adjusts for inflation [their prices went up by $5 - $15 since 2020] if Gaijin wasn’t afraid of community response.
There was notice given to players countless times.
Gaijin has always said rank dictates price.

I wonder why people keep saying inflation this inflation that. Server cost shouldn’t go up like food. Nor does the cost of software used to do their job.
USD 75 is excessive. If I can choose which item goes to the bundle (more GE nonprem time. More premtime non GE, no prem time GE only, Prem time only no GE, No GE no prem time) and have the price slashed accordingly I wouldn’t say this kind of vile shit. But gaijin pricing makes no sense and anyone defending it either lick someone’s dirty asshole for living or have a share in gaijin.

Yes, the prices have indeed increased by $5 on almost all the store’s bundles.
I’ll give some examples from the post: The Leopard 2A4 PzBtl used to cost $60 and now costs $65.
Another example is the Chinese Type 96A Prototype 10.0, which also went from $60 to $65.
The Challenger DS also saw its price rise from $60 to $65, and guess what? It remained at the same BR even after the $5 increase.
There was no notice, no announcement on the forums or in the site reports. I couldn’t care less if the price goes up by $5, $10, or even a whopping $50, my friend—what I want is transparency from the company in which I invest both my time and money.
This is something basic for any company. I don’t want to find out at the last minute or on the day of the promotion. I want to be informed about price changes so that I can better prepare for upcoming promotions or if I want to grab something outside of the promotion.
You’re mistaken on many things— don’t gloss over unexplained price increases and the lack of transparency with the buyers/investors. Whether you like it or not, players are considered investors in games since there’s a constant flow of money between both sides.
Edit : Calling your friends to reinforce a point where 5 are pointing fingers, leading the majority to believe it because only 1 is against the other 5, is an interesting strategy.
Just accept that 2+2 = 4 and 2x5 = 10.

Challenger DS is a rank 7 premium. It’s $65 cause it’s rank 7; it was NEVER $60 as a rank 7 premium.
Type 96A, Leopard 2A4, etc are all rank 7s.
There was an announcement last year, you were given weeks of notice prior to them going up to rank 7 LAST YEAR.
So yeah, your post is 100% wrong.
Not sure why you’re upset at Gaijin being transparent and informing players.
Also none of my friends are present in this topic

Server cost is strongly influenced by power cost, and I don’t know about your part of the world, but here this went up drastically in the last two three years. So drastically actually that quite a few business dependent on a lot of electricity were forced out of business because they couldn’t pay the electricity bills anymore.
On another note. Anyone here still paying the same for Netflix/Disney+ &Co. as 2, 3 years ago?

Amazon kept prices the same for food-assistance people but added ads, and an ad-free add-on for $3.
Netflix is up from $12.
YouTube Premium is $15 now instead of $13.
And Twitch Turbo hasn’t gone up in price but they make wicked profit off of it and it’s cheaper than the others.
For video games: Runescape went up recently as well.
That’s the server-heavy services I use besides Google Drive.
I’m sincerely surprised War Thunder is in this situation let alone keeping prices this stable for the premium account portion.
Nobody has to pay a penny for War Thunder and since the map butchery I don’t.I enjoy the game all the more for it.
The crux of the matter lies in the elevation of tier ranks for the vehicles included in these bundles. Upon the recalibration of these former Rank6 bundles to Rank 7, Gaijin made a public declaration regarding a forthcoming price adjustment. Those bundles that retained their Tier 6 classification have maintained their original price point of 60 USD.
There wasn’t even an increase in the amount of rewards in the package, which only makes me fear how much they will raise prices by next year.
You have to understand though these are premium vehicles, they are a perk not a necessity. These are also on sale for 50% off once a year ( well after a few updates that is ) and one or two other times a year. So if you dont want to spend full price dont buy them until they are on sale if you really want them otherwise you dont need to buy them at all.
Pc players can play the game and do the battle pass, get coupons for those battle pass vehicles and sell them on the market. Use that money to buy any premiums you want at that point. Currently i have two Iran f-14 coupons. One i did the even for the other i bought with other stuff i sold. holding onto them for 6 months to a year and sell them.
if you dont like the battle pass vehicles being offered you can sell them on the market. You can sell the two BP vehicles even if they each sell for only 10 GJC each thats 20 gjc and its only 16.5 for the 2500 GE to buy the BP with 15 levels giving you a profit of 3.5 which can get you a skin from the market or hold onto it. Most of the time though the BP vehicles go for more so you can typically get 30 to 80 per BP. This gets you the next BP and use the rest to hold on to or buy premium time or GE. Essentially you can play for free after spending 16.5 for that first battle pass.

Prove that Gaijin is raising their ranks again, which would be a buff to those premium vehicles.
Its normal video game pricing gajin isn’t really that special if anything they are generous in some aspects like their BP. Just look at how many premium games have hundreds or thousands of bucks worth of “DLC” its been a pretty normal thing in the industry and meanwhile WT is a F2P game u don’t have to put money into it to have fun and i didn’t for roughly half of my time with it.
So you’re saying I need to commit 6&9th August on a certain country that makes power cost skyrocket or perform “pesticide administration” on anti-nuclear power activists?
That’s not free, completing a BP is a job-like amount of hours. It is not within the reach of almost anyone. Besides having to complete tasks that often take you away from what you really want to play.
It really is peanuts designed for people who do nothing in life or students.
