It can take some time. With thousands of people redeeming, the server often takes a little while to update. You can try closing the game and reopening, but it still might take 30 mins - 1 hour. Maybe even a bit longer. Just give it a little while and keep checking 👍
Not really surprised. Remember the Eva Elfie decal? A literal cornstar? There’s no depth that this company won’t sink to

It’s not like pin ups painted on vehicles in the past weren’t often ladies of her profession either

What used to get people into military games vs what gets people into military games

There isn’t anything more to this than what you see today, I suspect. Maybe they’ll add some more national waifu pillows and matching vehicles later.
Its already in game I just think Gaijin if they are going down this path should take inspiration from other areas. For example I think people are generally okay with Anime esthetic and it could work but what they picked is something that I can find anywhere. I will use Mobile suit Gundam as an example because its a military theme like this game. They have attractive characters but they fit the vibe of the setting which in my opinion is what makes it great because its good character design. Gaijin and the games she promotes have always been you not being the main character of the story and as an individual in a greater story. I am not a CEO of a multi million dollar company so its there development department for this but if they do get this I would suggest the following character design style that would make this game they seem to be building more unique.
Example A Female
Christina Mackenzie | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom
Cima Garahau | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom
Karen Joshua | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom
Example B Male
Shiro Amada | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom
Anaheim Journal: Ace Pilots of the One Year War
Domon Kasshu | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom
Nigel after being hit by the Anime Ray.
The overall issue is not the whole anime thing. The issue is the style if the design where gritty and rough most people would likely accept it and play it. You would also avoid the Female character only paradox these games get into and maybe we would get glorious fighter pilot Ace Nigel “The Hero over London”. I suspect is they went down that sort of path people would go more mad for this new game.
But I’m not a CEO of a gamming corporation I cant tell you! Ha

Considering how ‘well’ the game is doing in top tier, this is just sad.

Me when the war romanticizers get annoyed because the war romanticism isn’t historically accurate in a video game:
These packs are peak, overly expensive, but peak
If you dont want to see them, then dont purchase. If thats not enough, just suck it up
Cause:
And the people here are acting as if Gaijin just released a Tiger II covered in Astolfo, these are vehicles from the 2000s, when anime was starting to get a lot more popular
and you can literally remove the anime aspect with one decal if you wish to, you just simply have to cover up the characters name on the Leo2 and M1A1 and boom, beeg patriot camo
The T-80 is different, but the T-80 is the most impractical of the three, so if you’re buying it for the skin, then removing the names is the least of your worries
However, I will admit, I hate that most of the time when games do things like this, the women are overly sexualized. I get that thats the whole thing with the body pillows and their designs, but for the love of god could a female soldier be represented in, idk, a standard uniform, every one in a while?
It was fine before imho, cause its not like they were actively shown in combat, but now its just severely out of place

Main issue is that its copy and paste honestly. 1:1 Identical to existing packs. It could’ve just come as a skin for the existing packs but nope. Need 70USD for a skin for a vehicle that many people already have
Mmmmm, I would have liked a discount if you had the existing pack already, but eh, I actually like having two 2A4M CANs, I personally quite like the tank :shrug:
Now I just need a weeb CVRT, Gaijin please my body is ready

I agree fully.
I think a good middle ground if they are going for this type of esthetic would be to follow there Area 88 style when they did that collaboration.
Example
Also if we are going down this path I want to see husbando Nigel with a 6 pack decal for the memes.
Sexualise EVERYONE is the solution

Once again, thats another case of “if you dont like it, dont buy it”
Yeah its annoying, but its at least a good alternate option
Id much rather this pack be a C&P rather than a unique vehicle, cause then ik that people would be getting even more annoyed
Tho to be completely fair, there have been changes to the models, which i dont think Gaijoobles can change in skins but i may be incorrect, and you also paid specifcally for that variant in the original packs, and now you’re paying specifically for this variant
$70 is steep tho
JOJO collab when?

Its honestly moreso an issue with putting them in incredibly skimpy outfits, like ffs give my girl Kate a plate carrier at the very least
Like, its okay if they’re not wearing full uniforms, I’d just prefer if they gave the characters more coverage
The original dakimakuras were so much better in that regard
I stated that weirdly but you get the point
They dont have to be wearing full combat uniforms, they just shouldnt have 95% of their skin showing

Good. We’re sexual beings.
Sure. But that doesn’t sell. That’s what those failed games are finding out - ya’know those ones that strived to depict ‘real women’ (by making them look ugly??), which led to reduced sales and the games being panned.
I think its just predatory honestly. “Don’t like it, don’t buy it” just excuses the fact its a bit needless and just shows their only goal is money.
I’d rather it be C&P aswell but its the fact its C&P of an existing premium. Stuff like the Type 90 (B) Fuji and Type 90 (B) is fine since its just a tech tree version with a camo net. But it being a 1:1 of another premium that many people have already bought is… youch. Its the same experience being sold.
The 3D models are practically identical. Tiny changes.
And yeah 110%.
