Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I really wanted to play my SdKfz234/1 but since it’s been moved to 2.0 from 1.3 the full downtiers are quite rare

B-but it would be an nice reward for everyone who took part in the Event :)
Like, we have Po-2 and TB-3M :(
So why cant we keep the Zeppelin just for Fun?

Could come at a later date.
The issue is that events and their rewards are planned long in advance so making a change like that while the event is ongoing is going to be difficult. Most likely it will come with the next mark of distinction air reward or have its own dedicated event

Difficult? Ehh…
Planned long ago? Sure, but that isnt our fault and we are the players, and as an wise man said once, the Customer is allways the King…

No, not really
Customers for the most part are unknowledgeable and will often ask for unreasonable things, many times things that they themselves will dislike eventually

The aircraft reward for the event is the H.P.12 Bomber.

The “Customer” has been asking for historical matchmaking for years
Do you know what would happen the same hour historical matchmaking was added? Half the playerbase would quit and start protesting how unbalanced it is

The Zeppelin is very unlikely to come in this event, as it has been essentially hard-denied aswell. There is no point in asking again and again

Could we see a re-run with this test for remembrance day, with other WW1 vehicles as rewards ?
That could be a way to add more WW1 tech

Everything is possible, it all depends on how busy the dev team is at the time as well as how much interest there is from the community.

Well, the Zeppelin isn’t coming sadly, now that it has been game, I think we can suggest vehicles of it class, which would be nice.

Germany has 3 tanks as their reward vehicles for the event.
Britain 1 tank and 1 plane
France and Russia 1 ground vehicle respectively.

I wish to see Austrian & Ottoman Empire vs the Italians next time round

That would be quite nice but it seems unlikely
Remember that there are significant costs for these events without the expectation of any return since you can’t buy any of the vehicles themselves with GE

Well, you can buy Stars if you missed one for 599GE each as currently

On the bright side, this makes it easier to introduce a permanent techtree Zeppelin once WWI is inevitably added some time down the line of the games life. Just a simple port from the event, rather than having to make new textures and turn the old (current) rewards into specific named tanks.

I’m hopeful that this event will show Gaijin just how much money people would be willing to spend if we had permanent WWI. I know a lot of people that just bought all the points so far and plan to buy all others, and some that picked up the game again because of how excited they are about WWI content.

Even if it’s not confirmed yet, this at least proves there’s nothing preventing it in the future, and I’m sure Gaijin won’t let the game die when there’s still money to be made.

The discrepancy between the name of the nodes and the actual textures is kind of funny:

Some extra textures made it over w/ the reload ammo, bayonets, and grenades:

Nothing really indicating that when some of the most viable ground vehicles are being locked to event-unlock-into-techtree like the IS-2 No.321.
