the battle pass is hit or miss, but a good amount of people play the battle pass just to put the vehicles on market
You know what’s funny? The people who claim the game is easy refuse to 1v1
Is that because you only play Arcade?
P.S. that isn’t meant as a slight btw.
P.P.S. also, what would a 1v1 prove except in the case of Dogfights, the challenge of war thunder is how to deal with the enemy team, not individual players
Or at the very least do what Chivalry and Helldivers did by making the BPs permanently unlockable. IE you can start and grind out a BP from the selection of all of them at any time, no FOMO besides being the first to get the new vehicle.
Also make the free version still give the vehicle jus take a lot longer or maybe give a non-premium version.
I don’t think this battle pass is worthwhile unless you are a big fan of the soviet union.
Main reward tank seems meh (Frankentank-ish between T-44-122 and T-34/85 D-5T)
Sub reward boat will be no option if you don’t play naval
All of the decals are written in Russian
All of the cosmetics are Russian-built guns (AK-46, RPG-2, B-10)
Maybe some other rubbish rewards like SL or boosters are still worth enough to buy if we consider the regular exchange rate between SL and GE/Real money
But Ehhh…
2000GE for another lame soviet vehicle…?
How about we all go to Tesco and grab one fancy bottle of whiskey instead?
(I meant, not a real ‘fancy’ one but your favourite one.)

No, I 1v1 in Sin and Realistic. I play Arcade because it’s relaxing.
Fair enough
You mean the people who claim the game is hard refuse to 1v1.
Most notable the people claiming top CAS is balanced refusing to do 1v1s against Pantsir cause they know the CAS would win.
Addressing the main point of the Topic: Is this Battle Pass worth it?
Objectively Speaking:
- A premium BR 6.3 (assumed I haven’t checked the BR yet) T-44 will be an excellent money maker.
- The T-44 is one of the most successful and well rounded medium tanks in War Thunder with a playstyle that will be accessible to most players.
- At BR 6.3 the ammunition is competitive against everything but heavy tanks (unfortunately there are many troublesome heavies between 6.7 and 7.7).
- It has a very competitive lineup for USSR at 6.3 that features a variety of vehicles.
What do you think about other reward vehicle?
The french 140mm boat one
Here is how you should do the battlepass.
Play the game. Near the end of the battlepass, look at what you would get if you buy it. If you think that stuff is worth the price, buy. If not, dont.

That’s not a bad premise for a bit of Analysis.
It would be interesting to compare the number of ground kills scored by aircraft in a match compared with different combinations of SPAA.
for example:
- No SPAA
- 1 - 10 SPAA Spawned
- Avg Lifespan of SPAA in matches where aircraft spawned
- Max no. of SPAA spawned at the same time
- Ratio of SPAA to non SPAA
That’s a hard one, I’m not prepared to comment on the Quality of Naval Vehicles as I have very limited experience.
I will however say that I’ve accumulated a number of boats over the course of events and battle passes and they’re fun to play. I wouldn’t say they’re particularly OP but I really appreciate having a few premium boats to fall back on when I need a break from Ground RB, they’re great at making money and some of the battles can be quite engaging.
P.S. I would like to Add, that it’s nice having some battle passes that you can afford to pass up. In the beginning there was some serious FOMO as the vehicles that were coming out where quite Niche and Very Competitive. I rarely play the VT 1-2 but I think it’s a super cool tank and It was really important for me to nab it. Same with the German Bomber with cruise missiles. However, if you look at all the complaints, it’s easy to see that players aren’t managing their expectations very well and are burning themselves out trying to grind events and are coming to the forums to vent their frustrations about the battle pass whether it’s shitty vehicles, lack of originality, or the daily tasks being too grindy. I tend to ignore those crititcisms as they basically boil down to players not playing for fun but instead playing to grind.

I am usually finding it’s the people saying “skill issue” that refuse to fight. I challenge, and then they mute or block me. Quite a shame.
A boat is a boat, it shoots big rounds and tanks big rounds. Not really impressive, but I will take it because free boat.
Thanks for your opinion which was helpful to think wider.
My first impression of that boat was
Not mediocre, but quite a lame concept compared to older coastal rewards
- Soviet torpedo boat in egypt, which got rid of torpedos but mounted BM21 MLRS instead
- US Coastal boat which uses M551 turret as a main gun
For me, in overall battlepass,
last one and this one felt somewhat lamest BP ever I’ve seen if we consider ‘funny’ side only.
It would be great if those French M46 or Thai helldiver had some extra features like the Churchill flame tank.

I believe you.
Toxicity lines both lanes of the road after all.
People are so addicted to toxicity when I compliment a team, someone out there thinks that’s me saying “skill issue” to the losing team when it’s just a compliment on the other team doing well…
The more toxicity I see the more I feel obligated to defend the good.
The Battle Pass clearly does not interest you.
All I’m saying to you is be honest about the facts, and at the end say what you actually feel.
I will support your standpoint irrelevant of what it is so long as it acknowledges the facts, and there are others that’ll do the same.
I like this upcoming BP, cool T-44.
I liked the previous BP despite the model potentially being copy-paste.
I heavily dislike the BMP series of tanks, but I won’t call the unique ones copy paste, I’ll just say I hate their looks and that’s why I dislike them; my honest perspective.
I get that, I’m just tired of Gaijin’s laziness. They would rather make money than fix this game, which is my main gripe.
Just to re-iterate, It’s nice when the battle passes are interesting, but at the same time the battle passes are never ending. While I think I’m good enough at managing my expectations when playing war thunder and reminding myself to play for fun. I like the occiasional dud battle pass, or one that’s not relevant to me so I can enjoy playing the game without being overly concerned about efficiency.
Sir, there are bug fix patches at least once a week, usually multiple times a week.
I once had Steam update 3 separate times in 6 hours one day and I got heavily annoyed at that.
Also without money the bug fixing team can’t get paid.
