Wow, thank you very much . . . all this info in one nice, tidy spot . . . that’s awesome. I, for one, really appreciate the work put into this and want to thank everyone involved once again, for the trip down memory lane . . . I missed My Little Ponies event(but that’s ok too) but have been here for all events after starting with Gaizilla!
Very Cool! . . . a much welcomed addition with actual useful info and LINKS!

I love how the “best” event in 2024 were just a modified Sands of Sinai map with pickup and delivery game mode, I wonder what’s the next bangers we’re getting this year.

I got Soviet Kingcobra in this event.

And French DB-7 in that one:

Btw idk if you include it or not, but it used to be a kinda traditional to bring a small event/task shortly after introduction of new nation tech trees, where you could get low tier premium for free, for example this is for M13/40(II):

Edit, I was wrong, I’ve got Kingcobra from this one:

Thank you! Added to list.

Since that one came with the winter event i just linked the winter event along with the vehicle, If it was a seperate event or if i find any seperate event for new nations i’ll change them in the future.

You was correct :D you could get from both so i’ve linked the sky duels one too. Thanks!
