If I understand it correctly, no packs are on sale as part of this sale (although some packs like the VIDAR went on sale a few days ago on Playstation)
So until the 6th of may only Premium time, GE vehicles and talismans are on sale, and then on the 6th of may the premium vehicles/packs go on sale
The point being that premiums make more sense the higher BR you want to achieve. If you’re a guy who is going to play 5,000 matches in the Panther D, premiums serve very little purpose. WW2 larpers basically don’t need to pay anything because their lineups and vehicles are trivially easy to achieve, compared to the higher BR equipment.
Meanwhile grinding any entire tree completely F2P will almost certainly send someone insane.
Top tier is where the most effective/efficient premiums are for the price and are also the very same areas you de-facto require as many premiums as possible, premium time, more crew slots, aced crews etc. Top tier is expensive.
Which doesn’t explain why you’d not allow people to spend more money on sales, or why you’d make event vehicles impossible to obtain when you’re selling digital products with practically zero production costs… easier to obtain event vehicles would be a win for everyone.
And buying a singular top tier premium is already a big expense, add in 10 nations that’s $700… add in air that’s another $700… add in helis that’s another $700, add in naval that’s another $700 and you still have no lineups, no crews etc.
Whut Trista sayed.
They do it because they can. They have a captive customer base that is inelastic of price.
Becuase discounting GE is a way to give people more bang for buck.
The ideal scenario is that after getting your nice discounted pack, you’ll spend your GE before the next GE sale comes along.
It’s intentional, plain and simple.
Why do you think there are sometimes 30% sales? Premiums aren’t on sale for 2-3 major updates?
So that someone goes “Ahh screw it.” and does the suboptimal behaviour and buys stuff without waiting for the discount.
Of course that requires you to have the self-discipline to sit on thousands of GE for months…
Why do you think there are sometimes 30% sales? Premiums aren’t on sale for 2-3 major updates?
I don’t even acknowledge them, why would I care about 30% when I know there’s 50%… same with all those personal offers or discount coupons, they’re all a waste of time.
I bought the 180 days for €20 30 minutes ago and unfortunately they don’t appear in my account. Is that normal? I usually receive the items etc. immediately.
Nice, gonna pick up a couple talismans and buy some top tier SL vehicles I’ve been waiting for the discount to get!
So you can’t buy GE cheap than the premium account cheap. They do this so you can have other things on sale.
So I have a question, why do the squadron vehicles never go on sale? What’s the reasoning behind this when essentially every single other vehicle in the game (excluding vehicles from recent updates)[side note why is that a thing as well?!] goes on sale throughout the year, why are Squadron Vehicles treated like the red headed step child and never allowed to go on sale? This just seems like a weird arbitrary rule that benefits no one at all and has zero reasoning behind it whatsoever¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
Then people have to pick between one or the other.
Because they are supposed to be unlocked by grinding out squadron pts. I’m surprised they are even GEable… oh wait this is Gaijin.
I believe squadron vehicles still are discounted on the SL purchase cost. They just aren’t discounted on accelerated research cost, but neither are any other vehicle. Gaijin just specifically has a disclaimer that squadron vehicle research isn’t discounted because many players treat squadron vehicles as premiums and GE their way through the research.
Lol
Please restart game.

they aren’t, have never been discounted on the SL cost, trust me I know for a fact lol
yeah you grind out the S-RP and then for some of them have to shell out over 1mil SL just for the tank and then a few hundred thousand more to crew them, granted it’s not a problem for me as I’ve got over 100mil SL but it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me honestly
Nice. Bought 2x 180 days premium. Best offer of this sale.
When’s the full spring sale? Like 50% off?
