I’ve gotten 4 vehicles so far from the Snake Boxes. It is random. The last summer box event I burned over 100m SL, got 10 or 11 vehicles. But in the middle I went 30-40 million SL’s without getting anything. It is RANDOM, not sure what is hard to understand about that fact. I have burned ~100m during 2 different crate events now, and the odds only “even” out with ~100m SL burned. Anything less and it could be way higher, or way lower. Because you have “only” burned ~20m SL’s means your vehicle drops (or lack thereof) are not statistically significant, at all.

410 opened so far, no further vehicles besides the kv-7 I received at 274 boxes, only other thing I’ve had besides the wagers,boosters etc is a coupon for a pin up pilot and a ww2 decal
It’s extremely different to last bunch of boxes for me, I’d received 3 vehicles by approx 16mil sl spent haha
I’m going to go to 500 maybe 600 I think, I’m trying to space them out a little bit though to not get overwhelmed with all the rp boosters I have in abundance - I think I have and have had more of those than anything else so far too btw which is alright as I’ve ground out a load of naval on a couple of trees with them so far
I’ve no expectation for any more vehicles or anything and never did have more curiosity being satisfied is the thing for me, it has formed the opinion I do think it’s poor with a capital Pee how little I’ve received in terms of proper rewards with so much spent though, it’s quite vile actually the reward ratio on this and I wonder if others have experience the same this time round too or if I’m an outlier in this one with the stats for the boxes
What I think is really poor btw is the lack of coupons, decals, decorations etc that’s been received in relation to everything else, I’m at 3 items in total. Two being coupons for them, three decal coupons that’re all low value 0.08gjn things too and one a bit better at round 0.80gjn worth haha and that’s it
Will try find that spreadsheet someone shared before and fill it in too when it’s ended and share my totals

I’m at exactly 200 boxes opened and so far only got a duplicate of account assigned M8 Lac, so essentially 1mln SL.
1mln SL of a compensation for already owned vehicle is a joke. It should be either GE or any other random guaranteed vehicle

200 * 60k SL = 12m SL = 0.5% chance. That is right around the average that has been seen/to be expected 😉
Just as a reminder for anyone else reading: as I stated above, it is very possible to go a LONG time without even seeing a vehicle drop. Was a dry spell of 30-40m SL for me during summer, but then I got like 2 or 3 vehicles within ~10m SL’s after that lol. “Evens out” over enough SL’s burned.
Personally, I don’t focus on the vehicles, those are just a nice extra bonus if they happen. What I LOVE about the crate events is all the boosters and backups. I have over 1,000 backups now 😂 And I used the previous crate event’s RP boosters to finish grinding out the top tier of the US air tree and unlocked the F-15E.
ALSO, it is highly highly recommended NOT to burn all your SL’s as soon as the crate events start. I spread out my SL’s over the month of the crate events so that I can use up the SL boosters before they expire, and without having to double up the SL ones. ALSO don’t forget that your premium vehicles DOUBLE the effect of SL boosters! So, with all the SL boosters I get, coupled with prem time+prem vehicles AND using backups for my favorite vehicles, I usually make as much during the 1 month of the crate events than I do in the preceding 2 months between crate events.
So, for instance during last summer’s crate event I started with ~50m SL when the event started, made note of how many SL’s I had made total on the profile website page, then and at the end did the math and calculated that I had made another 50m SL’s during the crate event (which all got burned back into more crates lol.) By using those SL boosters with prem vehicles+prem time+backups (when you have SL boosters going), you can feed all the crate rewards back into more crates and get many more chances at vehicles.
So I got 10 vehicles instead of 5 (or fewer) by leveraging all the SL boosters I got. Works well for me.

Thanks Mr. Obvious
I have been tracking my drops for like 5 editions now and in previous editions i usually opened more than 1000-1500 crates each. I know what to expect.
What i am complaining about isn’t lack of vehicles, it’s stupidly low compensation for getting vehicles you already own. 1mln SL isn’t even close to being enough for replacing any of the vehicle drops, since all of those vehicles are worth multiple times that.
It should be either made in a way so that you can only drop vehicles you don’t have, or compensation should have been much better

I don’t post info just for the person I am replying too. No need to get offended, or throw insults back at people trying to help. Even if they are mild insults.
I dropped a like on your post too if you didn’t notice, and I am one of the people that has been advocating for at least 10m-12m SL’s for duplicates or changing the crate event to non duplicate vehicle drops. I didn’t disagree or argue against you in any way. Cheers.

I didn’t notice a like, i thought you are one of those guys that reply to anyone who buys crates with “ugh you shouldn’t have done that odds are against you” or whatever this kind of crap

Nope, the last box i spent i think around 20 mill. So more then this one but got nothing vehicle wise.
i got nothing and spent 20 mil… only boosters and backups.

M60 AMBT - Really want this tank!!
Because most people don’t dedicate the whole of their life to the game, nor spend money on it. I play more than above average for most players. I am an “excellent” rated player, and know how to get a lot of silver.
Suffice to say 15m sl for the average play is hard to come by, and should be rewarded with a vehicle.
Especially since it’s what 3000 ge for 1.3M SL? Doing that math, 3.9 M sl. Costs 9000 GE without going over the 10K ge pack.
Now do 15m divided by 3.9 = 3.8461 and say we times that by $50 USD = $150+ usd. (Now you have an extra 3000 ge, so you get an extra 1.3m)
So to get the same amount of silver for a vehicle (which I proposed getting one every 15m SL) it would cost roughly $171+ to get a chance and not even a good one.
Now keep in mind most people earn their chances

They really need to make it like siege where the percentage increases each box you buy until it maxes out at 15m sl at 80% chance or something. Wasting all the SL instead of buying TT vehicles Is putting a damping in my ability to flesh out all my TTs

i mean i got alot of RP boosters, now i have alot of vehicles researched so thats nice… but now i am low on SL. anyways it’s not that hard to grind SL.

Do people here usually buy them in batches of 10 (600k) SL? or do you like buying them here and there individually after a good battle? Wonder if the odds of vehicle drops are different buying 10 individually vs 10 all at once.
i buy in bulk once released, then use the wagers/boosters i get. Not the best way of doing it because of the amount of boosters you get you’ll not use them effectively.
Then towards the end of the box event i’ll buy some more.

Bit of both tbh, most days I’ll set myself a target of earning 600k for the boxes alone regardless of what my sl balance actually is, once I’ve earned that I’ll spaff it on 10 and any more that day I tend to buy in 3s and 4s generally
Done all the loot boxes this way since I’ve been able to afford doing them
Yeah, it’s what I tend to do. In previous boxes I’ve actually got vehicles just on single boxes (including VFW), but this snake box every time I’ve gotten a decal or something similar it is on the 10th box of a pack of 10. So it has me wondering, haha. SL is easy to grind back up with premium account, etc, so I usually just spent the whole lot on loot boxes and then am working my way up to 600k each play session.
All want the good drop, this is why gambling is highly addictive.
I don’t support it so I won’t open a single crate.
That’s just the batching code when you buy multiples. It sorts them all after the RNG and reveals them in order, SL first, vehicles last. It doesn’t mean you only got the vehicle on the last (10th) spin.

Gambling is gambling - If it was for real money, I agree. But since the economy changes, I often have more SL than I know what to do with - and without these boxes, I would be without some rare event vehicles that I am just unwilling to spend actual $$$ on. I get it you want to avoid it by principle, though.
