Does anyone know why they keep posting either just variants or straight copy and pastes? Like come on the f14, t80, the new fv its so weird… They could be releasing new and interesting vehicles but they keep just adding almost identical vehicles.
My theory is they are easy to model just slightly changing them then rereleasing them into the game.
Personally. I prefer that events are variants of existing vehicles rather than locking new or important vehicles behind an event grind and sub-sequent paywall for those afterwards.
For example Britain was limited to a single top tier battleship on the TT for the better part of 2 years and its second and third 7.0 BBs were from events, its only recently we got additional TT vehicles and it sucked. Anyone without thsoe was at a major disadvantage.
Event vehicles should be the off-shoot varaints like the Jaguar IS. Its just a Jaguar Gr1A with different loadout, nothing of significance lost from the TT for those that dont have it, but a nice variant of an existing aircraft if you do.
That being said, this new tank coming is more unique than most event vehicles we have for ground or air.

I don’t mind variants for one reason I can skip them completely with no guilt but at the same time quite a few people think that, all of my friends have essentially dropped the game recently because of this.
Variants add very little to the game beside providing some nations vehicles they wouldn’t otherwise have. If they want more variants why not add more captured vehicles.
Captured vehicles really suck for the Sim gamemodes because you often have to visually ID a vehicle and if both friend and foe are in teh same, then things get very confusing very quickly.
Id say I would prefer events were C&P variants and TT/Premiums were more unique/new vehicles because the overall value is better. Events shouldnt be a required grind to unlock essential vehicles

True that’s a hard balance personally I wish they’d make the grind less… bad doing it in stages increases the chances of missing marks of distinction I went to a funeral and missed the mark of distinction and bam lost the ability to grab the vehicle.
Also I do agree about the captured vehicles in sim that’s kind of annoying, that being said captured vehicles normally are really interesting like the pz.sp.wg.p204 is a very interesting vehicle.
Events have been required to grind for really strong vehicles in the past they need a better grinding system that still nets them money they problem is FOMO is their strongest ally when it comes to these event grinds which boosts interest artificially because you know you’ll never see the vehicle again or will have to pay money.
Enjoy what you get, they can’t keep adding vehicles forever, and when that day comes the game will die
Also because people can miss out on exclusive vehicles, rather than a variant.
Another Kfir “oh, big deal”
Another Abrams “I can miss out on this”
If it was something like;
New single time Krangvagn “I CANNOT miss out on this”
Yeah, Renown and Barham were totally non-optional but I thought about skipping the Jaguar IS but being an aircraft it was the easiest grind for me.
I skip 90% of planes because almost all of them are variants/copy and paste so thankfully I don’t have to care about those.
As an air Sim main. Air events are the easiest for me to grind, so I’ve picked up a few for other nations that I rarely play.
Ground its basically only Britain and only then, only something good. Ground events take me the longest.
Naval I will consider other nations if they are good or perticularly unique, but usually only Britain.
Yeah I understand I’m a ground main so tanks and such are easy to get I generally skip planes and especially boats (Because naval sucks)
