In fact, a much more respectable option would have been to add variants with visual changes of a military nature such as net-camo, etc… Anyway, that’s not the biggest problem; the problem is that all the aesthetic tank additions from the second part of Senrai Maiden are made with AI, even the profile pics, they didnt even used a good AI like grok they just used the free version of Gemini and they are selling these tanks for 70$ each one wich is very dissapointing,they didn’t even take the time to remove the Gemini symbols of the images :/

This would also annoy the community because is just a copy paste too, but atleast it wouldnt be made fully with AI, or atleast they could have hired a real artist or use an actual good AI to make the cosmetics

I mean Gaijin is regularly doing this. The Leopard 2 premiums are all just reskins and the new Puma is the same essentially and the challenger OES already has military decoration for example.
The Senrai stuff is just an additional type of product speaking to an additional customer base that wants that type of content.
Pretty much all of their ”art“ content might be AI if you look at some of the recent pfps and decals
Yep sadly, i dont have any problem with people that likes anime skins and things like that, i just turn off those things because i dont like those skins, but i just think that people that buys those packs deserves better than just a copy paste with AI things for 70$, i feel like it is a scam by gaijin… There are more companies that use AI but gaijin used it in the worse way possible

Well of course they are a scam, just like the new Puma, the F14D for 80 bucks and any premium vehicle that costs as much as a triple a game. But sadly there is no competitor to the snail.
That’s why you release a premium of some other TT vehicle as it’s model is already in the game.
…
I don’t think people are forced to buy anything.

Or you do both which is exactly what Gaijin is doing?
One Senrai pack equals to three different TT vehicles being converted into premiums for less cost.

Provided there are vehicles to be converted to premiums and then those premiums would still have to sell better.
Will there be a bundle will all 3 new packs like the old senrai maidens packs on xbox?
No, those premiums wouldn’t have to sell better due to them not being released with special pfps, pillows and whatnot. Something like Kate offers no gameplay differences when compared to Click-Bait, so it should’ve definitely been added only as a skin on the market.

This is just funny to read though if you all want to have a different addition write a event suggestion post you have a key board use it to make something productive. The last time this happaned I wrote a suggestion of what I think a Good WarThunder x Anime crossover would be the mods approved it. Write a Suggestion instead of complaining about Gaijin making an error & showing prototype work that used some AI. I don’t like AI that much but it seemed like it was them making prototypes that’s all.
This is people being annoying which is unproductive but Gaijin is working on a lot of stuff like Infantry mode they have multiple teams the game is not dying. If you want something like WarThunder x something write it.

Still not an excuse to use generative AI in their workflow.
This isn’t some tiny company metaphorically held at gunpoint by a publisher.

I never said you weren’t allowed to comment on it. Most of the 3d assets are reused requiring very little development time.
Remember, the people who pay for stuff in this game make it free for the people who can’t/don’t
If this game stops making money it will cease to exist.

You could say the same thing for all the fake tanks in WoT, all the Warhammer skins and tanks in WoT, all the Anime tanks and ships in WoT and WoWS, etc.
There’s other ways to make money. Gaijin have done so for over a decade now before resorting to this. The more people buy this, the more it tells Gaijin it’s okay. Reminder, WoT once was considered historical. They used hard historical stats like armour/horsepower/speeds/etc and look at them now.
Some of us came from WoT because of Gaijin’s historical authenticity. We don’t want to see that go out the window. Just because there’s skin sliders doesn’t mean this doesn’t exist. There’s opportunity costs here, all the time Gaijin used for this could have been used for historical vehicles.

True ish but wait until we get infantry mode all the skins they can cram into that!
My conspiracy theory that this is all an elaborate scheme to secure the Girl’s Frontline collab has yet to be conclusively disproven

They could do that but there ware better military anime Collabs then that.
Then again it could be worse they could do a OG Fate collab.
There wouldn’t be anything for them to pull from for… any Fate collab, really.
GFL (Or I guess it’d be GFL2) makes the most sense since Infantry seems to be based on researching guns, so they could pretty directly map girls to weapons as skins and possibly infantry models (depending on if there’ll be any customization for your actual soldier in Infantry)
…actually considering a lot of the Senrai Maidens girls have guns it’d be really funny for them to just. implement re-artstyle’d versions of them as models for the infantry mode. Give them ‘historical’ skins that are just the same women wearing historical military equipment instead of their characteristic outfits for the historical content options/automatic camo selection like the tanks have and they’re in business

True also people might forget a lot of nations did have female soldiers fully trained in WW2 (USSR and UK Home guard) and after (Türkiye big one) there was also the Partisan forces so Gaijin could do a reskin of the clothes / uniform without doing Call of Duty level of madness (though it is funny) I would love a The Boys crossover event for infantry 🤞🤞🤞
FYI I would guess GATE for a WarThunder crossover as the most realistic option because of some of the people the top brass have been talking to especially concerning the omaneko pillows. Though if I got to pick one it would be Gundam because that was my first suggestion post and all things considered is grounded.
Gate for the people who are the lucky ones
