exactly, this thread is a great example: the vast majority argues if anime bitties are historical or not lmao
but instead it should have been overwhelmingly negative backlash towards gaijin for literally copy-pasting 3 existing (copypasted aswell) premium packs

Im gonna have another hot take, this is the best solution we could have get lmao.
instead of locking unique vehicles behind paywalls, this kind of pack offers a premium vehicle no different to a TT variant in game performance, with only thing unique about it being the “camo”.
and the pack is purely optional to buy. Kate pack is not needed to play US. its not needed to grind US. Its not even fking needed to make a US 11.7 lineup.
People hand out hate for copypaste, and if its TT then Im completly on board with it.
But with premiums, Id rather see three premium Clickbaits than to see actualy unique tank, gameplay wise, being locked behind paywall.

those 3 packs already exist
Yes, they do. The point being…?

my point is that its incredibly greedy, doesn’t help the game in any way, and sets a precedent for future additions
gaijin will turn this game into a chinese gacha with blatant p2w if you let them (its not like they haven’t tried doing something similar), and those kinds of packs show their intent: just show them zoomies what they like and they’ll gobble it right up
i actually dont disagree with this, but copypasting a copypasted premium…

No, they don’t, have a new camo
woah… this one has no chair… so unique…
Look I get your angle, but:
Its optional, and gaijin isnt charity. Licensing IRL military stuff costs a lot, server upkeep etc. They need to make money. Skins are lest invasive way to do it.
Actually it does help in a way that it doesnt lock anything unique behind the paywayll. Im more angry at T54E1 and T58 being premium than being angry about another Clickbait.
If said precedent is - not locking unique vehicles behind a paywall because we can get enough money by selling skins, its a good precedent
Finally I will be able to play both literally and figuratively with hog in my hand!
Both Kate and Clickbait are premiums of already existing TT tank. Id say thats far from pay2win, and there are more obvious pay2win elements like ace crew etc.
Again, its optional.
Those who dont have either can pick the one that looks better, but dont have to.
Those who already have one, can pick the other to bolster their 11.7 lineup, but dont have to.

Oh yes, ignore the special camo with the girls names on it, classic…
the earn insane amounts of money compared to what they spend - they outsource models and textures and they use AI to make content for the game
its not like they lack monetization methods yknow
and thats not the precedent i am talking about, what i meant is tonedeaf, out-of-place content that has no place in the game
…oh, nevermind
Why do you think so, it’s only a game…
Twas a joke if it wasnt obvious.
Were back again to whats historical and whats not. Not liking anime stuff or sexualization is perfectly fine. Saying it has nothing to do with military stuff is factually incorrect.
We have any numbers? Otherwise is just speculation, as opposed to me saying they need to pay electricity bill, which is, kinda, you know, the obvious.
Also you do realize every vehicle needs to be licensed if they wanna use its model as well as official name? Were talking about 2k vehicles.
Anyway as I said, i see premiums that are effectivelly skins being less problematic than unique vehicles being locked behind paywall.
Id take 6 different premiums Clickbaits if it meant we will get TT T58 and T54E1.

Banned in the air force and not really banned elsewhere, but in the US, Command can kinda do what they want within regulations.
This happened once or twice during AI’s massive boom in popularity. It was likely just curiosity.
Anime and such are hardly out of place in the Military. The US Military is why Anime exists in the first place. Tone conflicts would occur with media that don’t fit the Military theme.
Then complain about that specifically. If anything, having a duplicate Click-Bait at top tier is good for US Winrates because it gives Premium Spammers another spawn to use.

Oooof
I guess I got pulled back in here but I want to say this whole argument kind of follows the IRL argument around the whole pin up decals which is a whole historical research report on to her self but to keep it simple it goes like this.
At the start of any war especially WW2 there was a bit of a learning curve of how to fully organize the army as there always was. New officers and personal to fill the expansion and with that a degree of tomfoolery that was excepted due to the emergency of the situation. People will have time on there hands and they might spend it painting kill marks and iconography on there plane and as long it maintained the identity of the plane and did not cause blue on blue people over looked it.
Some officers saw it as unprofessional and risked operational security. The unprofessional point could come from personal beliefs and this was sometimes shown with a officer banning the practice or placing restrictions like forcing the most improper pin ups to acquire clothing. Sometimes punishments could be given out but for these pin ups as some did violate rules at times but if your at war having a perfectly good airmen out of the fight for this is bad for the war effort and such things would be overlooked. Officers who where extremely strict also gained poor reputations and would effect moral so over time a strict officer may be forced to be more open to these pin ups.
Operational security was a real concern as pin ups are an identifying marker and could give away air wing strength, operational status, or which air wing they where associated with. If you had heavy loses there is a chance if your air field is being spied on by locals planes with prominent pin ups would not be seen and your real strength could be uncovered. Its easier to hide your loses if you can repaint some numbers on a single plane then to try to replicate a pin up over and over again until back up arrives. Remember military secrets are the most fleeting of all. So following the whole when you are weak appear strong kind of thinking so don’t leave unnecessary lose ends laying around.
During peace time its very easy to keep these rules in place but during wartime you have to balance team moral/cohesion especially if some of your personal are drafted. You also need to factor in the reality that being extremely strict can undermine your operational readiness and how people view you if your personal wish in there back of there heads for ill will against you that’s not great.
I still find it funny how this chat follows the IRL arguments of some wanting to run a clean tight ship and others who are fine with it just because. LOL I have already stated my opinion of the situation so if you want to know you go find it.
@TheKnightOfZero concerning your game nickname is it a reference to Code Geass? I’m surprised then @li0nheart never noticed the connection earlier to his point.
