The current Rank III requirement for Battle Pass and event tasks unnecessarily limits vehicle choice and prevents players from using many iconic vehicles they enjoy.
Many nations have vehicles at Rank II that are fully capable of contributing to event progression, yet they are excluded solely because of their rank. This is especially noticeable for smaller tech trees, where players have fewer options compared to major nations.
The purpose of events and Battle Pass challenges should be to encourage gameplay, not to force players into a narrow selection of vehicles. A player performing well in a Rank II vehicle is still actively participating and contributing to the match.
Another issue is that Rank II vehicles can already be matched against Rank III vehicles through the BR system. For example, my Italian P40 and M43 tanks are Rank II, yet they regularly face Rank III vehicles in battles due to BR matchmaking. This creates a strange situation where I am fighting in the same matches as players who are progressing their Battle Pass and event tasks, but I cannot progress mine simply because of the vehicle’s rank. The matchmaking system considers these vehicles suitable for the battle, but the progression system does not.
