Would you like to see these research changes to non-premium event vehicles added to the game?
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
- Yes, but I would suggest changes to it (leave in comments)
Here, I would like to suggest some changes to the research efficacy of of non-premium event vehicles in order to make them more worthwhile to grind and more unique while also still retaining their intended purpose of providing less bonuses than premiums.
The idea is basically a hybrid between premiums and standard tech tree vehicles. Allow event vehicles to efficiently research 1 rank above and all ranks below them, like a premium vehicle, instead of 1 rank above and 1 rank below like standard tech tree and squadron vehicles. However, don’t give them the RP and SL modifier bonuses that premium vehicles have. Thus, they can efficiently research all the ranks that a premium vehicle of the same rank can, but they do it with the lower efficiency of a tech tree vehicle compared to a premium.
Alternatively, it could also be changed to 1 rank above and a certain number of ranks below such as 2 or 3, but I personally think that all ranks below, like a premium, is a better idea.
With this would also probably come a new background to differentiate them from tech tree, premium, and squadron vehicles. Here, I have created a concept for a new, yellow-green background for their icon in the tech tree as an example of what it could look like. Yellow-green was chosen becuase both squadron and premium vehicles have green backgrounds, so yellow would accompany those nicely as it fits within the general vicinity of those colors while also being distinct.
Example background:
Example of a vehicle on that background:
Note: I apologize for the AMX 50 Surblindé tree image being smaller than the base icon image, my tree creator tool downscales everything to 152x51 from 216x72.

This would be fantastic if they implemented this!

What would be the benefit to the game as a whole?
(Not what would be the benefit to me as an owner)
People who grind the events now have vehicles that can research everything up to it’s next rank without RP loss from the efficiency rating, and they didn’t have to spend money in order to do so.
I asked:
You replied:
What you tell me is the benefit to the owner, not the benefit to the game as a whole.
Would this change improve the game somehow? Or is it aiming at personal advantages, without analysis of the consequences to the entire game?
Ah, I misunderstood the question.
Players would be able to train their crews and their personal skill without feeling strung out, while more players would also be playing more matches/spending more money to acquire said event vehicles. Which in turn usually means more player attention across various social media channels and funding for additional developers, programmers, modelers, etc, who can then make substantial changes from their side.
While it doesn’t directly change the gameplay, that’s not the purpose of this suggestion either as it’s an economy and progression one.
This is a benefit that would again only apply to the owners of the vehicles. So it would be a personal benefit again.
But I don’t think it would help people train crews. Quite the opposite actually: If they have a high tier event vehicle, they need a somewhat trained crew to operate it well. So your decision will move a lot of noobs with insufficient crews into higher tiers.
And then they will get frustrated and display the same behavior that noob premium owners have - ODL. But only for longer, as they generate less RP and will take longer to reach their desired goals.
So no, this doesn’t benefit the game.
Even worse, less people playing in lower tiers will make life harder for all remaining, who learn the ropes the regular way without constant ODL, as player numbers in lower BRs dwindle.
From my perspective, such vehicles would hurt the game, so I voted no.
We can’t blame Gaijin for causing ODL etc. by their selling top tier to beginners, only to cause exactly the same, when it benefits us personally.
Give it RP modifier same as premium but SL modifier same as tech tree, SL is not hard to grind if you not spend in gacha or Expert qualification
what about squadron vehicles? +1 anyway
