Pulled my second vehicle finally today after 420 boxes, it’s a tank destroyer - VFW
Any good? I’m not a big ground player but I notice it fits perfectly vr wise into the two fronts pack I have
Any advice for using ti is welcome of course
The other vehicle I got was at box 125 and was Strasbourg but I’d already got that in the event so 1mil sl instead (meh)
Between the nuclear footbal and the horse shoe pouch I’ve probably spent near 500m SL and I have yet to receive the vehicle I actually want from any of them 😭😂
That being the surblinde from the horse shoe and VT1-2 from the football.
Shame I’ve all got all these duplicate coupons I can’t do anything with though

It is fair to call my posts rude today, but I am very passionate about this “stupid issue”. I only see pain and suffering ahead if the 🐌 makes a change to the SL Crates without us offering them something that they would want “in return”.
(I can’t think of exact examples off hand, I will post when I remember good examples) but there have been multiple instances of changes that the playerbase requested, but when implemented came with secondary consequences that are equally unpopular. It will always be a give and take.
To get something we want, the 🐌 will also get something it wants. It is life. They are a company. They are focused on profits, as all for profit companies are. Ignoring the how potential changes that we want affect the 🐌’s profitability will only lead to negative unintended consequences for us players.
Everything must/will be balanced. We will never get a change the only benefits us.

VERY GOOD!!! Grats!!! Not only does it have a powerful APCBC shell, it has a rangefinder! VERY useful for both AB and RB! Very few vehicles have a rangefinder at those BR’s.
In AB it gives you the hit indicator at much greater ranges (over 1km), and in RB it allows you to get an accurate rangefinder reading up to 2km away 🎯
Note! You probably want to play with the sideskirts DOWN. If you put them UP, your reload speed doubles. You set them up or down by checking or unchecking the modification:
Oh yea, limits angles by a lot 😂 Not really as bad as some SPG’s traverse angles, but hardly worth the negatives having the skirts up. They really only kind of protect you from machine guns anyway.

Oh cool! Will give it a go this evening then, thanks for the insight and the handy tips about it, especially the skirts thing!
Thanks

Good to see we can all get along again 😊
I’m deep in the nuclear football mines again about 200 crates since I got that dogwater half track
thats dumb
“Thanks” for not taking the time to read and understand my posts.
If anyone has a better suggestion, post it. But all everyone does is say they want no duplicates, with no secondary concession.
A for profit company will never make a change that will lower their profits, without changing something else to offset those lowered profits.
You are all going to rage out if/when then do change to no duplicates, and lower the odds of vehicle drops by 10x.
Are you ready to MAYBE get 1 vehicle per 120m to 150m SL’s?
Are you ready to MAYBE get 1 coupon per 1,200m to 1,500m SL’s? That is 1.2 to 1.5 Billion SL’s.
You were warned.
ok lemme redo this post in a way that makes more sense
180+ Days of premium? Nah thats dumb, and expecting ppl to spend $40 on that kinda stuff is outrageous(and hard to code in, so our lazy deity wouldnt)
If you have premium time in general? Yea go ahead and enjoy your non-duplicate life
Because its already 20 USD for 90 days, so that is an unneccesary “fk you” to players who have bought premium time, but dont meet some threshold
It is only $20 for 180 days on sale. Which happens 2-3 times a year.
Yeah, exactly. Anyone who is playing “for free” would have no change. And those who support the company with more money get a rewards. Do you expect all companies to give you benefits or bonuses for free?
The threshold is because it is a “bribe” to get Gaijin to make a change that the majority of the playerbase wants.
It really appears that you still did not read the entirety of my post. I have posted it nearly every SL event for the last year or two.
I am honestly surprised how negative you, and most others, are being. If you all keep pushing for no duplicates, you are going to get PART of what you want, and suffer tremendously on the other hand.
You are still ignoring the core issue here, a change to no duplicates with no other “bribe” from the players to Gaijin. If they make a change like that without a suggestion ahead of time I guarantee that they will lower the odds in return for changing the crates to no duplicates. They make far too much money on the marketplace to allow those profits to be reduced for nothing in return.
I posted this all in my previous posts. If want to have an actual argument other than “zomg I don’t want to pay! I want no duplicates for FREE!!!”, go and actually read everything that I wrote previously. Rather than just posting the same thing over and over like most of the other players in these SL Crate threads. I have done my part, if the rest of you want to push for a change that you will hate, so be it.
Go ahead and keep begging for something “free” and offering nothing in return. You will get exactly what you deserve.
I understand, I just find 180+ days too harsh
This is find completely acceptable as a perk to premium account, but this perk shouldnt be based off the amount of days of it you have, simply that you have it. So no, I am not advocating for the “Free no duplicates” idea but rather that simply having some premium account should be enough :D
yeesh bro, thats not very nice
I’m tired bro. I’m tired of trying to save others from a negative outcome that I know will happen. Being told that it’s “stupid” when I have been thinking deeply about it and debating the topic for years.
I’m about to stop trying or caring.
The crates across the board are “free” implementing systems that would force players to pay for a nicer system is a terrible idea tbh. Majority of this games player base is free to play. It’s basically punishing players for not spending money with that suggested system.
Non coupon duplicates should not be a thing at all and the crate should feature a knockout system so once you got said vehicle the knockout system switches it to a coupon if you acquire it again.
They already have a knockout system in there other game enlisted with its silver crates where it’s impossible to get duplicate squads and vehicles.
The odds of getting vehicles are already very low. Majority of the player base probably sees one vehicle drop from them. People like me are outliers to that because we min max the SL grind. It’s not about give or take for us and gaijin so suggesting that if we want a better system we must give something up or pony up money is terrible. Paying for what is essentially quality of life improvements is bad practise and opens up cans of worms

I can tell, and I agree with most points you have said. I hope that dupe prevention doesnt come in this free way - i couldnt complain about my badluck being so badluck-y. I just think having premium is enough
