Not for me. I’m up to 67 mil spent. 2 vehicles. Both planes. Both SOVIET planes.

I’ve opened about 1116 to get… a whole lot of junk tbh.
2 duplicates,
2 planes (Yak-3T, and IL-2 M-82)
Didn’t need or want either plane. But whatever

Did you read the post above, and my reply about a possible change to “blueprint fragments”? I want to start getting everyone’s input. I will consider making a thread, with a poll, at some point. I would really love to see a change/fix to the current duplicate vehicle situation 👍
I think they should just do what I mentioned before.
If you get a duplicate, you get 3 options to chose from.
2 of the 3 are silver or vehicles.
And or 1 of the 3 are vehicles.
Silver rewards are 1.6 mil silver.
Or if you don’t pick the silver “cards” you get a non duplicate vehicle

Would be nice. Maybe I wouldntve needed to open 20,000 crates in winter to get 2 i was missing and have had more sl for this time for the last 2 im missing.

I have gone over this concept ad nauseam. This is one step away from direct choice of vehicle. The company is NEVER going to make a change to non duplicates without lowering the odds, or requiring something extra, like only for Premium Account players.
Have you read any of my previous in depth posts on why this idea will never be accepted by the company?
Your suggestion is #1 on my list below. I have been trying for years now to get everyone on the same page instead of everyone making the same suggestion over and over again. It will simply never happen, and it is a waste of time to even debate this suggestion any further. They would have changed it years ago if they considered it an acceptable change.
My previous thoughts on this subject:
Link: The Festive Cupcake for Silver Lions! - #37 by SilentTracker
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:
-
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.)
-
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.)
-
Change the 1m SL’s 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.)
-
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.

New Suggestion which has a slight chance of being accepted by the company:
Again, this is the ONLY suggestion I have seen in years that has the slightest chance of being accepted (other than a Premium Time requirement, which I have advocated for over the years. But also still not accepted, nor has there been a response from the Devs/Company either lol.)
My Reply to the suggestion above:
Second new interesting suggestion:

I think they should do atleast 1 vehicle of choice after something like 50,000 crates or so opened. Not coupon but at the very least direct to account.

Interesting, lets do the math quick:
50,000 Crates @ 60,000 SL's each = 3,000,000,000 SL's
Lol, 3 Billion SL’s. Maybe. But there would still be a ton of 10 year+ players who have not even earned that many SL’s, and even less that have spent that many on crates.
Still an interesting suggestion though. This is another new suggestion that I have not seen or heard yet. That is exactly what we need, new ideas, not the same rehashed “no duplicates” without a corresponding ‘negative’ change to go along with it. As per #1 on my list above.
To be fair im around maybe 35,000-40,000 opened all time i wish i kept better track of them. But between the last crate and this one ive opened 23,000 alone and this time around have been totally boned lol. 65~ gjn coins of coupons this time around and about 105~ gjn coin and the 2 vehicles I was missing from winter crates. Still for that much sl… from end of summer 2025 sl crates to now having made enough for 23,000~ crates and getting only that shows how bad odds are already. 100% agree the 1 mil for dupe vehicle is just a kick in the teeth when I can make that in like 10 battles.

I have now opened 87.3 million worth of SL.
3rd non duplicate, finally… a tank.
As for the total amount of SL I’ve ever spent on these crates… Christ I have to be over 400,000,000 million almost.
And since I’m on console… I’m stuck with 3 other coupons for decals / decorations I cannot sell for gaijin coin
