Just curious if in the future there may be changes to the reward for a duplicate vehicle, Even if its just for automatic activates so you cant get a duplicate auto activate vehicle. If not thats fair but still hope for some better rng for the ones we cannot purchase off marketplace.

And we consider this a bad Deal, we should get a vehicle we do not yet have. Thus we want this to be reworked. Any Plans? If not, please forward our concerns to Gaijin.
Thanks.

Agreed. Ppl that spend milions to get a vehicle really dont need 1 000 000 for one they already have. Tho way better would be just when you get vehicle box just choose one you want. Cuz getting vehicle that you never gonna play and cant even sell on market place really suck.

How I see it is, we should have split odds more common market vehicle drop. (Excluding is7 or other top reward of course) and a rarer auto activate drop and the auto activate will always drop a vehicle you do not own. And only give the 1 mil sl if you own all auto activates. This way rarity stays in tact and it seems balanced, atleast to me. Odds go down but its garunteed to give you one you do not own, not a duplicate only for the auto activate.

Still would prefer to choose. Or when it comes to rarity. Just give same tier/br vehicles to choose from and not just random with very high chance of getting something you never gonna play.

Guys, choosing a vehicle directly is never going to happen. The only way that they would consider that would be to lower the chance of getting ANY vehicle to the odds of something like the IS-7 (0.001% chance, or 1 in 100,000 boxes, 6 billion SL). So please, do not advocate for that.
Getting a random vehicle that you do NOT have is the only real possibility imo and they would still probably lower the odds by an order of magnitude, eg from 0.5% to 0.05%. Which would mean you would need to get ~2,000 boxes to HOPE to have a chance, instead of “only” ~200 boxes. (Spending 120 Million SL instead of 12 Million.)
Be careful what you wish for, but asking for a CHOICE in your reward is a TERRIBLE idea, none of you would want the unintended consequences of such a change. You could go 10 years spending 100million SL each time and never see a vehicle drop.
EDIT: Gaijin would not want direct choice, even for console players (even though they would not affect the marketplace) because it would reduce the SL burn. Less SL burn = less play time = less money for the company. Gaijin wants people to play more, not less. And the increase in total players online and concurrent matches goes up a lot during these box events, which is good for the company. So, lowering the odds of a vehicle drop from 0.5% to 0.05% would still require players to grind and burn a lot SL. And imo, would actually increase players grinding SL, even with a change to no duplicates (especially for those long term players who only need a vehicle or two from the box events). And even if more players buy boxes and get more coupons to sell on the marketplace, Gaijin makes a % on every sale there, so that is still a net positive for the company.
- Direct choice would significantly lower the necessary SL grind, lower games required, and in the end lower the income for the company.
- A change to no duplicates with no reduction in chance would still lower the needed grind = bad for Gaijin.
- So, the only tenable option for Gaijin to implement no duplicates would be to also reduce the chance of a vehicle drop by an order of magnitude from 0.5% to 0.05%.
In conclusion, the only change that would allow Gaijin to make the same, or more, income is a change to no duplicate vehicle drops coupled with a reduction in chance from 0.5% to 0.05%. No other possible change makes any sense for the company, regardless of how we players feel about it.
EDIT #2: This is EXACTLY why they will NEVER increase the odds of us getting what we want WITHOUT also LOWERING the % chance. MORE people would be “happy” to spend real money directly on SL’s if they KNEW they would EVENTUALLY get what they want. As it stands they are “losing” money by keeping the vehicles random only, with some players at a near 0% chance of getting the ONE vehicle they want.
The real minority that Gaijin cares about are players like these:
EDIT #3:
I will now also advocate that ONLY players who have 180 days or more of Premium Time get the option to chose between purely random drops from the boxes, OR no duplicates+reduced drop chance as stated above. OR EVEN BETTER STILL, just make it so those with 180 days or more of Premium Time keep the same drop rates, but get no duplicates! 😄 (Heck you could even make it 365+ days and I would top off my premium time for such a benefit!)
The balanced way is for the auto activates to become slightly rarer than market ones for a garunteed vehicle you do not own, it really is a pain getting a ka chi or other automatic activates when I own one already but am missing the phong kong
Cant complain too much tho. Was missing soviet p63 and got it so im still happy tbh.

Spent ~3 million SL, no vehicle, some lions back, a profile pick, decoration, decal and some boosters and wagers.
Nothing that was worth the SL though.
The last time I got two boats, which I already had.
Yeah Because thats Only 3 Million SL. I spend 18 Million in 300 Boxes and got After around 250 chests the Zrinyi I

Exactly.
I’m sitting on about 107 million SL and on a quest to spade every plane in the game. I’m very close to wrapping up everything through Rank 5 (Sweden has some real clunkers in Rank 5!) and use these crates as a SL > RP exchange. I typically buy 10 at a time, burn through the boosters playing a bunch of different planes and repeat each session over the course of the month.
Given these typically roll out and are timed to the new vehicle event schedule it would be neat if they created a booster toward the 45,000 point tasks.
Something like a 10% X 10 battles, 20% X 5 and 30 X 3 would be a nice incentive.
In air the tasks are easy,the real crutch comes with naval and ground tasks.
For Ground you might want to use a low tier Event vehicle like the Ba-11 or Boarhound. Then you tryhard Club for as much score as possible. I am not sure if this is still the case, but previously Rank I and II non Event vehicles were also counted when you used an Event vehicle also in the Match.
What do you mean, naval is the easiest of all 3

We mean plans to make any changes to compensation.
Value of 1M SL is not even remotely comparable to any vehicles you can get in crates, even rank 1 ones.
1m SL just feels like a slap into face after spending 10 times the amount on average to get a said vehicle
How about some GE or even GE wagers like you did with BP crate? Or removing the ability to get duplicates in general and spreading the chances among other vehicles besides main reward (IS-7, 279 etc.) equally? This wouldn’t make you feel scammed after getting a duplicate which happens rn with the current compensation

Naval gives points only if you get kill,assists barely give score. Air sim is fastest,one kill is 400 score,so you need slightly over 10k to make star.
No,the multiplier is low. Fastest was playing 10.3 US,spawning TRAM asap,and farm points with plane as plane killing tank give more points than tank killing tank,but they moved it to 10.7 in GRB where it have no lineup other than being uptiered to 11-12.0
Another way for Gaijin to take millions of SL from players who have it but why? Is it a thank you to veterans?
