That wasn’t there initially, they have updated the requirements mid-BP. (But the challenge had not opened yet).

to be honest the battle passes have way too many levels before the first veichal reward and even that in this BP that’s kinda disappointing

Actually it would be “subjectively” as objectively would be a yes/no scenario and you are stating an opinion. There is no set of rules to fairly compare one BP to another, so . . . subjective to personal interpretation.
And many claim the BP is “not worth it”(also subjective) and seem to base this opinion all off the reward vehicles and little else.
I have been “working the WB Shop” for a good while before the BP even started(17? . . . wow time flies) as I basically stopped grinding for vehicles specifically some time ago. And the BP has always been a decent “value”. Buying premium at 1/2 price once or twice a year is still the best deal(imho) but for the money, the BP isn’t too far behind. For starters, a player can get 10 days premium time at lvl 14, which can be easily done just logging in everyday, and if you buy that a regular price, it would cost you half of what the BP costs, so . … you come out ahead right there. 2 vehicles may not be as good or as many as we had in the past, but they did make the effort to give players a chance to pick up some they may have missed . . I see that as a good thing. Even tho, I doubt they ever offer us something I don’t already have. But I’ll take a GE wager, especially these new “Collector’s” version as they are easier to do to get the same 1000 GE than the old GE wagers. And the prizes are not “random” as Poul said, you get exactly what you earn . . . knowing how to work a GE wager is a “skill”, nothing random about it.
A player really only has to pay for the BP one time, as keeping the vehicles and working up to lvl 125 grants you a FREE BP on the next one . . . I have been doing that for a very long time. I’m an old man with fading eyesight and reflexes and if I can manage . . I think most players can . . . provided they have the time ofc. . . that is part of the deal too . . . same with events and such nowadays.
Point being, depending on how you look at it, whether you determine a BP to be “good or bad” is subjective, I just think looking at all aspects of it in a pragmatic way would lead most to think it’s ok . . . not good or bad . . it’s something to do while playing regularly and you get extra stuff . . . what’s not to like?
Like with anything Gaijin “gives” you, if it’s not something you like/want, just say thanks and hope for something better next time . . . ez pz

That Box could do well in the in-game Shop. Below is a Photoshop with only the Ka-Chi, but just imagine this new BP Box there Instead

Oh boy… I have to check if I got the Ka-Chi back in the day during Summer Landing event when I returned to WT after 2 year long break. Because I really want that T55E1 and getting the Ka-Chi instead would be quite sad.
If anything, we should be able to choose which vehicles we want from the list. Considering BP used to have 4 vehicles, this is not a big ask, frankly speaking.
I hope we won’t have to follow the instructions literally
Impossible while playing Germany.
Easiest task while playing Germany xD
Now this… this challenge gave me PTSD since the last time I had to finish it. Specifically the AAB part where I had to skip like 30 battles in order to get the correct game mode AND then it was not even guaranteed I will finish it before somebody 1kmh faster would destroy all the ground units. Seriously, is nobody reviewing these missions, or you make them neigh impossible to complete on purpose? This might be the most horrendous mission/challenge I had to complete in WT ever!

And based on the current battlepass?
None of the air challenges will be doable in sim.
At least in sim you could guarantee getting both a capture AND the ability to ground-strike.
Nah, you MUST play air arcade even if you barely play ARB as is as it feels too arcadey.

No, and the huge difference is that the other SL Box events do NOT contain ANY of the BattlePass vehicles. I missed ALL the vehicles contained in this BP, and I want ALL of them. So for me, I greatly appreciate being able to catch up on so many missed vehicles, especially some of the BP ones.
I am 50/50 on having a direct choice for this one, as you cannot get a duplicate like in the normal SL Boxes. I would like choice sure, but it’s not as big of a deal as with the SL Boxes.

Canberra meme reference?
I will take the USS Raliegh…er…I mean Milwaukie…er…I mean the Murmansk despite being the only Russian 5.0.
The Enzian is a nice freebie decoration for naval, despite not being naval missile! Gonna look a bit silly without a launch rail though.
Overall though its a bit “meh”, especially as the ship is a total copy paste aside from the flag unless i missed changes to the weapons fit. And hopefully it will get the correct skin on the Kingfishers.
Now tell calculate me - How many BPs you need to catch these missed vehicles? And how many in years it is!?
Making them pickable rather than random won’t make you worse (only gaijin co. that you trying to defend).
oh well.
money saved is more earned i guess…

The steering column must have caused some confusion.
Also this was the last BP bomber’s cockpit view like.
Noticed the guy sitting outside.

If they put this much into BP plane then Im wrong for expecting better BP than this garbage we get…
The cockpit model was so depressing to look at so he decided to spend some time outside.
I remember when bombers in Sim had virtual cockpits (much better then current “whatever it is”). But ppl started to demand bomber cockpits models and as it always happens with asking to address something - it turned out to become even worse.
I am missing an option to disable cockpits (without downgrading to SD minimal client).

Please don’t make this “two vehicles and one returning one” a new thing. Take the time to model and make 3 new/unique vehicles.

I actually asked about this matter a long time ago on the old forum, and one of the staff members replied that this was changed, because players didn’t want low rank vehicle in the BP, but wanted the free premium time instead.
When I asked who wanted this change, because I never saw anyone talking about this on the forum, the same staff member replied that our International forum is not the only place where opinions come from. So he basically suggested that the Russian players wanted this change on the Russian forum.
For Gaijin it was obviously a very good change, as they don’t have to prepare an additional vehicle in every BP. I still think it was a terrible decision, because these rank 1 premiums were often fun!
I’m also sure that if someone suggested this change on the Russian forum, they probably assumed something like 30 days of premium time. I don’t think the 10 days of premium is an equivalent of 1 unique vehicle (these low-ranked vehicles were usually fun and unique).
I feel pretty much the same way as you, but remember that numbers matter. For Gaijin it matters how much it costs to make one more vehicle and how much they lose after reducing number of vehicles in the Battle Pass.
If someone says that they don’t like the new system, but still buys the BP, then Gaijin is a clear winner. The same goes for the new event cycle, SL lootboxes with event vehicles and so on. It’s the players that decide about such things, even if they don’t realize it.
Imagine the situation where Gaijin release the new BP and no one buys it. It wouldn’t take long for Gaijin to increase the value of this BP, because creating the BP costs them money, and the BP itself is a way for them to make money.
An ideal situation for Gaijin would be to put the least effort possible into the next BP, and gain as much money as possible from it. If they reduce the value of the BP and players still buy the BP, nothing will change, that’s just how it works. I think they are now pushing the limits and seeing how many players will still decide to buy the BP.
