Locking 90% of tank cammos behind a paywall is peak design

As the title suggest. I really enjoy playing my tanks with 0 objectives, goals or rewards.

No wonder we need 5 new top tier vehicles every patch even those that do not even exist in the heads of todays tank engeniers when simple unlockable stuff is behind paywalls for no reason.

90% of cammos are behind a paywall and 99% of those are certainly never sold to anyone.

If Gaijin ever wants to add content to the game so players don`t feel bnored I suggest they just make 99% of current paid cammos unlockable, that should keep people occupied for the next 10 years or so

Can you share your math.
Where did you get this number? (well, I know - you just made it up for drama, but maybe there is some alternate universe where 90% of tank camouflages are unlockable only via GE).

Paid or marketplace camouflages are user generated content, the creators get a profit for each sold item, and you can unlock other camouflages from playing with the vehicle or buying it if you really want, which usually those paid-only camouflage have a unlockable counterpart.

Only marketplace items are user generated as far as I am aware, and in any case all user generated content for sale is marked as such, which is a minority of camoufalges

3 base cammos are free, the rest locked.

most tanks have at least 1 cammo fully unique to them with multiple copy paste paid cammos.
So just by going through the roughly 100 british tanks we get 3 base cammos vs around 100 unique paid cammos with another 3-8 paid cammos per vehicle that is also copy paste or very similar to ones found on other vehicles.

So we easily get to a 90% paid cammo rating. just by that alone.

But honestly, the number is utterly irrelevant as even a 10% ratio would not change the situation at all, it would just not look as bad.

Tanks have to little unlockable content despite the content being present.

Wrong affirmation, the minimal amount of camouflages per vehicle is three unlockable, there are vehicles with dozen of unlockable camouflages (e.g., lower-tier M4A1, Centurion Mk. 1 or even at higher tiers with T-72B with two unlockable forest camouflages).

because gaijin doesnt want people to enjoy anything without paying lmao…

2 unlockable. 1 base plus 1 desert and 1 winter.
The 3 i named included the average of the variation due to some tanks having 3 or rare cases having 4 unlockables

But again, utterly besides the point.
Its about content for players to unlock when the game is in an obvious struggle for content.

Monetizing cosmetics is the way to go.
I’d much rather have that instead of monetized core aspects of the game.

bro what??? XD you can unlock most camos but can also but them for ge

You can get GE via wagers or with GJN (you get GJN by selling cupons), so everything in game is technically achievable without paying a single penny

On the majority of tanks, you can only unlock three camouflages: desert, green, and winter. While those said tanks typically have more camouflages: deformed winter, deformed desert, various “European” camouflage (ie USSR/Russian tanks), various North/South African camouflage (ie Great Britain El Almain camouflage, South African “Deformed Stone” camouflage, Italian camouflage), Three Tone CARC (Germany, France, Italy, and more), quad camouflage (Hungarian), “urban camouflage” (Sweden), and more that are luck behind paywalls.

You can also argue the same for planes: Vietnam camouflage for MiG-21-F13, “Anniversary camouflage” for MiG 29s, and plenty more at prop level.

Many cammos get unlocked by playing…

oh wow you must have the special game where GE exclusive cammos are also free for you. Thats a 1 in 100000000 chance to happen!

Don’t know what to tell you other than if you like a game support it with money.

So you fail to understand the issue I am talking about on a fundamental level, add absolutely nothing to it, did not even bother to read the entire 10 comments in this threat prior to making yours and are now essentially posting spam?

OK

You’re complaining camos cost ge…200 ge is literally like a $1.00…ONE DOLLAR! You probably play for free so how do you expect companies pay their bills? You can get nearly one camo for each season just by playing the game.

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Seems you dont live in reality then. Companies operate on funding and ONE DOLLAR isn’t too much to ask for a camo.
