Don’t blow all your SL’s in one go! Spread them out over the course of the month so you can use the SL boosters you get to make MORE SL’s to then burn on MORE SL crates! 🤑

Further advice to maximize your SL gains during the crate events! 👇

SO! Just in case you did not know yet, premium vehicles DOUBLE the effect of SL boosters! (As well as doubling the SL % boost from Premium Time.) During the SL Crate events I can make as many or MORE SL’s than I did in the previous 2-3 months. If you really really want to push the SL crates, I would highly suggest getting premium time. I just get the 180 days of prem time 2x a year when it goes on sale for 50% off, only $20. $40/year, or $3.33/month. (If you don’t already have prem time, and don’t mind spending a little, you could get like 1 month for the crate event, and then get the 180 day thing off webstore during the Anniversary sale.) It is NOT on sale right now, so $40. But on 50% sale drops to $20: Gaijin.Net Store - Premium account for 180 days

With prem time+prem vehicles+all the SL boosters you get during the crate events, you can easily get twice as many crates (and twice as many chances at vehicles) than if you didn’t have prem time, or use prem vehicles.

Premium Time (Account) + Premium Vehicles + SL Boosters = 🤑

Second advice for those SL boosters, do NOT double up on the SL boosters unless they are going to expire. And do NOT spend all of your SL’s on crates during the first day/week! I only buy more crates when I run out of SL boosters. The RP boosters are like 2x or even 10x more common that the SL boosters, so I will double or even triple up on the RP ones so they don’t expire like crazy. But the biggest boost for me was forcing myself to spread out the crate purchases over the entire month so that I could use up the SL boosters and get MORE crates over the course of the event.

Happy hunting bros!

Yes, very frustrating. Many of us have advocated for a long time for a change to duplicates during the SL Crate Events. I have posted many, many times about possible alternatives.

My previous thoughts on this subject:

Imo, there are only 4 possible options, with #1 and #4 having almost 0% of ever happening. I consider it a complete waste of time to even try and advovate for #1 or #4:

  1. Change to NO duplicates, but lower the odds of any vehicle from 0.5% to something like 0.05%. The company would never change to no duplicates without also lowering the odds. (I do NOT advocate for this as you would now need ~2,000 boxes to HOPE to have a chance, instead of “only” ~200 boxes. Spending 120 Million SL’s instead of 12 Million SL’s for a chance at one vehicle.)

  2. Change to NO duplicates with the same odds, but only allow it for players with 180 days+ or even 365 days+ of premium time. ( This would be my preference, as it would allow a reasonably priced route for collectors to get NO duplicates, while also generating more stable income for Gaijin. A true win/win imo.)

  3. Change the 1m SL for duplicates to 12m SL’s, which by the odds, would give you enough SL’s to “get” another vehicle. (I think this route is bad though, as it would flood the market with other prizes which would dilute everything even more. I do not advocate for this option.)

  4. Changing to DIRECT CHOICE of vehicle is 100% UNTENABLE as they would lower the odds to be like the main prize odds @ 0.001%. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, just NO.

Nice! 🤑

The QF 3.7 Ram is a good tonk! Excellent APCBC round for its BR. Only real “issue” I have with using it is its -5 degrees gun depression. But if you can get those rounds on an enemy, they usually pop lol 💥

Same APCBC round as the TOG II, if you have the TOG II as well they make a good lineup.

I have all 3 of these guys. All 3 are 5.3 BR in GRB and GAB:
