Ive opened nearly 9000 sl crates since theyve came out only ever had 3 sellable vehicles and 2 autoactivates I do not own, 2 of 3 sellable vehicles and 1 auto activate I did not own were from this crate here. I still think by now I deserve the phong kong t34 or something else tbh. Thats around 500 MILLION sl I have spent. Half a billion sl for about 200 gjn of vehicles and 2 auto activates is still awful luck. We need a sort of garuntee after X amount of sl put in, even if it is a copious amount like 100M for a garunteed auto activate you do not own yet just for us super collectors.

Your results are what mine would be if i didnt get drowned in boosters, which is what stops me splurging on the boxes, 100 million myself, half a billion from you and nothing to show for it, then they wonder why these boxes are unliked by the community. As wolf says its backwards, the more you have played the game the more it sucks for you, when it should be the opposite.

100% agreed. I just am hoping for odds like the GE crates where after a long time you will get a vehicle you dont own yet. Even if it takes a metric ton of sl ill do it to finish my collection.

I dont mind the boosters soley cause they help me get more crates what sucks imo is those 10k sl drops lol, but yes odds should improve for those closer to having all vehicles in the crates not pure rng, I counted all except for the very 1st time sl crates came out. Rounding that 1st amount to 500~ but if im not counting those 500 guesstimate crates I have offically opened 8264 crates.

Cases like you is why i stop after the first few 10s of millions, as its just like, i could dump my entire sl horde on this and still get nothing, which is how you know these boxes are hot trash in terms of incentivising getting them

I still earn plenty sl end up using having 50M+ by the time the next crate drops ontop of buying any tt vehicle I unlock still but I can see where people esp f2p players hate the odds, I only want a confirmed amount Ill need to spend to get the last vehicles I need, I have almost 2200 vehicles in wt overall most of the last stuff I need is naval tech trees. Missong maybe 15 old event vehicles, e100 and the 30mm he162 and some of those old removed sm79 sb2m and such as I started mid 2016 on this acc. Would die to even be able to get those crappy removed tt vehicles ngl.

Would remove the rarity of it too fast, would need to be much more ge then 200 but yeah I could also see that happening for defined odds and sl crates staying the same. That way gaijin still will make bank too. Ill gladly pay like 10K ge or more for a garuntee on a missed vehicle. But wont spend any ge on sl for a non garuntee

100 Million SL is legit nothing. I spent Most of the Time 35-40 Mil per Event since last year and got like 5 vehicles which 4 are low BR Prems and one was the TCM AGS which got nerfed
These crates have only been up 3 or 4 times, i slap in about 30 mill each time plus what ever sl i get from repeats, so tbh its likely closer to 160 mill, so you and me are putting in comparable amounts.
The most I grinded before the travel suitcase wrecked it was 22,6 Million SL. Grinding a hundred or more takes a while, and with buying SL it costs almost 700 bucks.
Sure, for the boxes it is nothing, for a non-veteran though it is insane.
No worries, just catching up on what was added im at work so it takes me a few.

Those arguing against choosing your reward from a set of rewards are only PC users. Console users are screwed twice compared to PC players. So choosing my reward from a set list would be quite nice since coupons me absolutely nothing to me. It’s why I will always advocate for all premiums being released on console to be purchased anytime and not hiding them at all. Console users have a fraction of a chance to get what they want compared to PC users. I spent 20mil SL and go no decals, no vehicles, no coupons. Console players should only have vehicles in the boxes since we have no way of messing up PC precious market. Order, wagers are typically useless to me. And War bonds for coupons is so damn stupid for console users cuz the war bond shop is garbage.
EDIT: those who bring up the fact that console users could ruin the market, we can’t. It’s impossible to do since transferring is locked out and probably won’t ever open up again.

I believe this is the 10th time that sl crates have been openable, Counting this sl crate. They first appeared in april of 2022 iirc. Maybe was 2021 not 100% sure. Wish there was a list of all times they were added back.

They could also very easily just put them in the War Bond shop like they used to.

Typically the rare warbond shop vehicles were pre-battlepass and only on nov. For gaijins birthday month when warbonds rotated every 30 days you had to do basically every daily and special task not buy anything else with the bonds you collected for 1 rare, Its how I got my KV1B and TB3M lost so much sanity doing those.

I am also critical on the WB Shop, remember doing one BP for the Top Reward (Object 268) and those tasks were frustrating and when I got the top vehicle I was just glad to be done.
