They should’ve nicknamed it the worthless box

Tbh these crates would be actually good if they removed 10k and 15k SL drops. These are just insulting imho. Other than that these crates provide you with very decent value.
On top of that, the 2nd thing i would change is compensation for already owned vehicles. 1mln SL is not even close to being enough of a compensation. It should either be GE, coupon for the said vehicle or if it’s not tradeable vehicle a crate with other random guaranteed vehicle

So box number 274 yielded my first vehicle of these run of loot boxes, I received a KV-7 (U-13)
I’ve no idea what it’s like but I’m always happy with another vehicle to the collection regardless, but that’s taken 16mil 440k sl before I got any vehicle at all this time.
KV7 is a Pretty nice vehicle

I already own most of them. I’d like the T18E3 but I’ll never get it

That’s in my opinion one of the lesser rewards. But don’t get me wrong it is good

Oh I agree it one of the lesser rewards, not because of how good or bad it is but how new it is, how mid/lower tier it is and so on
There’s such a marked difference in what I’ve received in the snake boxes compared to last time, in approx the same sl spent I’d received 3 vehicles, 2 being a coupon and a coupole of decorations and decals that added up to around 90-100gjn when I sold them all iirc
This time I’ve had that one vehicle, two of the same item thing worth 1gjn each, a set of tiger teeth I could sell for approx 0.8 gjn, a snake head nose art thing and then the rest is all the usual regards of boosters and wagers and etc
That’s at 314 opened btw
I got my 4th vehicle so far now. First time something i dont have. So far i got Comet Iron Duke i had,M8 LAC i had and IL-2 M-82 coupon i had so couldnt activate again. Now i got MBR-2 on account,that i finally didnt had. Still waiting to hit Surblindé.
Nice got USS Phelps from it

Good bote! Same class as Moffett but with more Aux/AA guns. Less main guns, but great for pushing the coastal spawns, the smol guns are awesome for the coastal botes. And better for AA coverage obviously 🙂
I’ve spent 22 million… haven’t gotten anything from the “Trash box”
Increased chances for moderators ?
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.
