Is it possible to earn points from current events with vehicles from past events purchased on the marketplace, such as the M8A1 or any other level 1 or higher vehicle?
You can earn points by seeing if a vehicle is labeled as an “event vehicle” if it is.
I see, so if I buy any vehicle on the market that says it’s an event vehicle, can I earn points with it in other events? I was thinking of buying the amd.35 sa35. Do you think it could work with this vehicle?
Those were part of event vehicles so it will count.
But you won’t make much point, it’s better to use a rank 3 complete lineup.
It depends on how well he plays with the rank I lineup. Besides, he can use it in a rank 3 lineup too, and it will count.
Only if the match score counts toward that event. Not sure if using an event plane in naval would make the match score count towards air event. But tanks will work for tanks.
In case you’re not aware, things like the battlepass and daily tasks aren’t classified as “events” so the rank1/2 event vehicles don’t work for them (unless it’s a challenge where regular rank 1/2 vehicles count, which is not often)
If you look on the statcard for the vehicle you want, and it has this yellow text saying “Event vehicle:” followed by the name of a past event, it can be used to gain points towards Marks of Distinction in current and future events, with the rank 1 and 2 score multipliers.
There are a number of low rank premium vehicles from older event formats, like the US M8 LAC that do not count. But you will see that these do not have the yellow text on the statcard.
IIRC these are considered “premium gift vehicles”
As said above these rank 1 and 2 exceptions only count for event Marks of Distinction, and don’t count towards Battle Pass tasks and challenges - Battle Pass requires a rank 3+ vehicle for everything except the easy daily task.
I understand, thank you very much to everyone for helping me with this question.
This is also an interesting question: do event planes also count as event points in realistic tank or ship battles?
For a few Gaijin, you can find out! ;-)
I just played a match of RB ground and used an event plane. It counted.
If you play them in the correct gamemodes, yes.
Using a plane in ground will count towards ground events. Using them in naval gamemodes will clunt towards naval events
