The Great War Returns With New Obtainable Aircraft to Mark November 11th!

Ima be real. I would prefer just SL in general. With the booster there’s not really any guarantee that I’ll get like 100,000 SL.

Honestly this event should have been split in 2 section for the tank rewards and the new planes so returning player dont have to regrind a event just for some tier one planes

I have a full time job this isnt worth my time and with the way its set out its definitely not worth paying for tasks for the planes

True, would also open up the possibility for some other airships too in the future since one would be in-game already at that point.

Update: Balloons Shadow - would be peak.

Well thats one way to look at it, i can see this happening too.

I imagine they’d receive their proper flight models since otherwise you’ll struggle to even take off with either of them.

We already know how they should fly anyway since AoT has them modelled pretty well.

The next event is a US coastal boat IIRC. The latest event before the Mistel was a ground one, and after the coastal one we’ll probably get the winter event. Plus the battlepass, infantry CBT, Halloween races, the DCT you’ve mentioned… apparently a submarine beta/event after this major update too. And we are also getting two major updates in two months. So yes, it’s a lot. Welcome to the busiest season in War Thunder’s calendar. As you can see, they never pass up an opportunity to keep players coming back over and over, and the results they get show that they are correct. There’s a reason this game’s been around for 14 years.

you can only get those mission points in the event match and you got a reduced amount of points than a normal match too
it isn’t hard but it is very exhaustive

Oh fr?! That’s bs!! Reducing the amount of points you get is real scummy of Gaijin!

Where is that type of talk about event vehicles like the object 279 or the Is-7? If you want to argue about gatekeeping then those need to be talked about as well

It’s not reduced over other game modes, so no it’s not “scummy”.
It’s the nature of the game.

You just get less from there being less to do & it being reserve rank.

While absolutly cool that its back, why an event just after the last one. ;-; no time to rest?

Hi Smin, I wanted to say that I agree with the sentiment, and as a player who completed the Great War event last year, I am very happy that new players are getting a chance to earn these vehicles. I hope we get more reruns in the future.

However, as for feedback on what to improve next, I want to say that I do think the rewards for players who already had unlocked the vehicles last year are on the weak side and a bit of a disincentive to grind.

Perhaps in the future you could consider rewards like a special camouflage for those who had a given vehicle already unlocked before a rerun, or a free SL box with random vehicles from other events, stuff like that. So that the “older” player has a bit more incentive to return to the event beyond just unlocking the top reward.

Have a good one, cheers!

Sure, bring them back. Done, talked about it. Were it up to me, all events would have re-runs.

Wouldn’t we get 1 mil SL cause it’s a vehicle we already have?
Which is pretty good incentive for 1 - 3 hours of play.

I didn’t think I’d have to mention certain vehicles specifically

That’s how it works in the boxes, but not here apparently:

No, 20-50% booster or random camo.

Fair.
I think 1 mil SL should be guaranteed in event re-runs for vehicles people already have.
