The issue is that the same benefit can be achieved in a more player friendly way.
For example putting new user skins up on the market or even a new in-game GE store each week, all in infinite numbers with fixed prices.
This is much more player friendly and doesn’t use multiple techniques designed specifically to make them feel a pressure of buying, or create artificially inflated value by limited numbers and a “competition” to pay.
Even making it a limited time event would work here, as every player within that time can buy it for a fair and equal price.
Now imagine the guy paying 100+ € on his camo in an auction, compared to the guy that paid 80, that in itself is already an awful thing to put players through.
And obviously if this is ever done for vehicles, that’s horrible. No vehicle should ever be given out as “limited numbers only for those with the certified deepest pockets” in an auction system.
While they haven’t mentioned this, they also sneakily refuse to deny it, which is concerning for the game going forward.

Such a cash grab move, just to milk money from whales…
Cant wait for the news in a few months when they add Vehicles to the Auctions.
“Hey guys we are bringing old favorites back that weren’t available for a few year outside of gambling”

its a game, i only pay 20-30 euros for BP in 4-5 years after that money, i sell vehicles of BP and events tanks, with that money i buy lots of prem look how it works…warbound shop also works good…you can play free low brs until 6,7 this game makes lots of fun
look my states, i dont need skins or this little other small things
just test it, very easy to see how tanks just vanish if you are far enough away and they dont move for a while.
yes you might have the time to farm warbond
shops and market and don’t care about cosmetics but others might not have the time
basically what i tried to say here
or they add vehicles behind the auction

yes thats why i say let gj make this market for skins, its your decission to buy or not, in my case i will never buy skins on market or bid for that, skins are enough winter, summer, dessert you dont need more, also bagdes or signes or the other litte things we dont need it to play good or bad…
you don’t think the whole thing through to the end
at the beginning it’s just skins, then modules, then whole tanks ships planes and the content creator hardly sees any of it anyway, unlike what gaijin is pocketing
what about the console players and . . apart from that it’s close to gambling and that in a game for 12+

just because you don’t care or don’t use it. It does not make this system any better
i really would like to make a ww2 analogy but that would definitely get me banned or at least muted
I’m about fifty, so skins, decorators, and stickers don’t interest me. Even by SL. But what about when the vehicles is put up for auction? Or some modifications: engine, guns, etc.? Especially if they cannot be obtained any other way.
A lot of players are rightfully concerned about this. This window of opportunity should not exist.

Ofc it is, and got introduced not long ago. Did not happen before.
From the War Thunder wiki from 2016:

To my knowledge that mechanic has always been in the game.

Every single GJN you earn is not only paid by someone, but also already less value than what was put in.
Each GJN you earn was at least 1.15GJN that someone paid for with real money, if not more depending on how many transactions it went through.
This is not an in-game currency everyone can earn by playing the game, it’s Gaijin’s own company currency that can only either be bought, or “earned” if you create the very skins they sell.
You might not pay for it, but for you to earn it someone had to pay Gaijin either with their work, or more commonly simply money.

Keen Vision - determines at what distance the player can see an enemy ground vehicle that’s under cover.
UNDER COVER - not in los, now did not render at all even in los.
Pretty sure “under cover” just means the %visibility check (as modified by distance and terrain). You could be out in the open and in LOS before and pass the check (because you were a smol bean) and not render.
What’s changed is as we get out to 4k systems for more and more people, the pop-in renders when the visibility check fails are more obvious to more people.
That under cover also means partially concealed, like only turret above hill and/or behind bushes. Otherwise there would be absolutely no reason to lvl upp the range of the keen vision if it changed the distance a target rendered in when completely behind cover, that would make no sense.
“You are now max level keen vision, so tanks you cannot see are rendered in at a further distance!”

Now explain it to new players who give up on the game after a week, because of this stupid mechanic they will die to invisibile enemy. I’m leaving out the fact that with such large maps, these values should be quadruple.
I never claimed that i think its a good mechanic, or a bad one, my personal opinion does not matter for the facts and so i will leave it out of the discussion.
