What you are suggesting is not Ground RB, or even close to it. It’s an entirely different mode that is conducive to what many players have always been wanting for World War Mode.
Not that I am against the idea, not at all. But pretending this is anything remotely connected to Ground RB. . . . well, just no . . . not what it is at all.
Having such a thing as a weekend only “Battle Campaign”(or some such name not connecting it to any current mode types) would seem like a possibility.
Similar to Naval EC, the larger player count and expanded map areas might be problematic for the game to handle/produce. But, if those things could be overcome I can see a LOT of interest in such a thing and yes, I would try it.
(As long as it is not limited to JUST RB . . . not everyone plays or likes RB)
And as an incentive to Gaijin, these “events” could also have a GE payment requirement to join(not a lot, somewhere around 25 GEs per session maybe . . I dunno), but if it generates revenue, I think Gaijin would be much more open to such an idea.
Only real difficulty I can see is what kinds of rewards would be offered . .
that would seem to be a large obstacle to overcome as well . .
But, I appreciate the effort you have put into this “project”, good luck with it
If it were to be similar to Naval EC, it could vary from Arcade, Realistic and Simulator. And yeah, rewards would be a bit difficult to calculate.

This mod is the Graal of WT
It’s positioned as GRB because it’s focused mainly around ground gameplay where majority of players will sit.
Air content is fully SP gated, well, because it’s air.
For coastal fleet gameplay there is not much content, it mostly will work as additional gameplay option with limited objectives compared to ground. And blue waters fleet is heavily SP gated as it’s too op.
Therefore it’s mixed GRB.
Limiting this game mode with GE will kill it right on the start.
In this case incentive for gaijin will be the same as it is now - more players including returning ones, more exposure by streamers and other media, and more content in general for players to consume (expanding crew slots, prem vehicles, etc.).
Note: If a thread does not pass the approval process, it’s up to the poster to contact the Suggestion Moderation team for further details and if requested a copy. We are more then happy to assist where needed.
Ask them for a copy (I don’t know what that means but it might lead to something.

Yeah, and as I mentioned, what I believe the majority of players were wanting for a true World War Mode is much more along these lines. Albeit in a more Arena/Open World setting, far different from the WWM they offered us.
but again, the map sizes and larger player count could be major blockers to that whole idea/set up anyway . . . we just don’t know the limitations the game has or what the Devs are capable of doing along those lines . . .
Like I said earlier, I do like the idea, just not trying to pass it off as another Ground RB mode . . . for me, that just doesn’t fly for what is suggested.
I would also wager that is a big part of why it was denied.
A “cost” to participate in a “special” event will not “kill it”, not for sure.
While many F2P players might not get in right away, there are still ways and other chances . . . . they have done many things off of “tickets” in the past as well. That could be a possibility as well.
The reason I mentioned this is to give Gaijin incentives to make the effort. Just wanting/demanding/or begging for a new game mode doesn’t give them much incentive to do it. It’s a business, they need to generate revenue. Thinking of and suggesting such things is not a bad thing, it’s a way of trying to compromise in order to get the things that you want.
Putting ideas out there is a way of helping to progress the concept.
In the end , it’s up to Gaijin anyway, giving them several reasonable suggestions can only help them to decide . . seems like.
At any rate, it is merely a thought/idea . . nothing is carved in stone.
And the entire premise of a large scale “campaign” as this idea and WWM both are is of course, based on the ground . . . “territorial acquisition” has always been a main point of military conflicts . . . doesn’t make it a “tank mode”, that was more the point . . nothing against Ground RB, many people play it. That’s just not what this is

Looks good and possibly a great way to have all vehicle types in one game +1
Maybe have the SP vary with ship class? While torpedo boats would only be affective against heils up close and larger ships, frigates could pose a genuine threat to close ground units, helis and most of the coastal boat classes.
Problem with stuff like this is that anyone with half a brain and isn’t 1 death leaving in a premium is going to main the mode, and then the current GRB mode just becomes an absolute hellscape every match because its only 1 death leavers there. They would have to make the current GRB modes/map 1 spawn only, but then planes and SPAA are only usable in the new mode. And then there is less incentive for players to buy premium vehicles if there isn’t a whole lineup of premiums like 10.3 russia.
IDK in an perfect world we would have something like you suggest OP, basically EC/Advance and Secure, and then the normal game modes stay as a 1 spawn place that maybe people that hate CAS can play or something.
I think we have enough players in NA for split ques like this, but idk about other servers, they probably have less players + they dont get a massive injection of other players in off hours like NA gets chinese and whatever else in the morning.
+1 this is basically just the Advance gamemode from a few years ago.
I disagree with adding naval units, because they will be overpowered even when limited to lower BRs/high SP costs.

Hopes and dreams here too bud…
I don’t understand why you think classic GRB should be changed to a one-life-only. It can stay as it is now with small maps and quick skirmishes, or even better if it gets improved in other ways.
I also don’t see how this would reduce players interest in buying premium vehicles. On the contrary, I think it would increase interest by encouraging players to build larger lineups, which could boost sales. The only real factor discouraging premium purchases are ridiculous prices.
Im saying that if we got a real game mode like this, the standard game modes would turn into hell because no one would touch it but 1 spawn players since they would be excluded from this, I’m assuming you can choose to play either?
The reason it would hurt premium sales is say you want to play germany, and all you can buy at 10.7 or whatever is 1 premium you are stuck in the poopy mode ie what we are playing now every day.
Premium players would be able to play any of the modes available, just like any other players. Frontlines is not supposed to be locked for anyone.
Classic GRB is unlikely to die or get flooded by premiums only, it offers smaller and shorter games for those who like it. It would be like an alternative mode for those who got tired of longer matches in Frontlines.
Having only 1 prem option on particular BR doesn’t restrict player from playing Frontlines. Players can respawn as many times as they want, but it will cost SL like in sim modes.
We used to have a game mode where you cpuld cap forward points that bring your spawn forwards and the enemy’s spawn backwards.
People complained and it was removed. Personally, i want it back.

Make another suggestion, that old gamemode is gone already time for a new one
Didn’t they run an event like this a few years ago?
@Stona_WT Hi!
If this post can be reviewed again, would it get approval for “suggestions” section?
If yes, can this one be tansferred into suggestions instead of creating a duplicate post?
Some people say there was something similar to this, but I guess I haven’t played it so idk.
