Tasks in this game are ridiculous sometimes and unplayable. Most of them are purely luck based, whether it be first strike or being required to win battles. Not only is winning itself an issue but having to do extremely specific tasks during the match, which stagnates your progress like destroying a vehicle in a heavy tank, SPG and light or medium vehicle in a single battle.

I noticed some are bugged, for example the one requiring getting a first place in the team, accepts the criteria even for an ongoing battle. You can just gain some early game points and quit, the task will be completed…
I think you just need take some time, figure out which tasks are easier for you
to do, take less time and you can start earn points each game for whatever
you are grinding atm. It can be done . . .
Re-rolling tasks that start with “Win” is not a bad idea, because as you mentioned
it relies on others for you to accomplish.
For instance, “First Strike” is pretty simple flying planes, you just have to race
to the nearest Ai/soft ground target and pop it before anyone else gets anything,
then proceed to win the game . . . . another chore in & of itself.
In tanks, you have to take a speedy boi and rush at the enemy(not a very good
idea usually) and hope you can get that first kill. And you still have to produce the win.
So, either mode, I would say those are “high risk/low reward” tasks, considering time
and effort. But, up to you. We all play differently.
I do almost all of mine playing Air AB, it’s what I like and have better results most of the time.
I simply can’t do any of the tank tasks near as easily.
The Easy and Medium Daily tasks, sometimes I can do in tanks and even naval.
But Special tasks . . . no way. I have to do those in Air AB.
But that’s just me, might not work for a tanker main who doesn’t fly much, yeah?
Try to find the tasks that you can do easier and that fit with what you are already doing,
grinding vehicles, working an event . … just whatever . . working two things at once . .
very efficient use of your time . . .
This is the way . . . .
Tasks are awful, agreed.
However, there is a trick to minimize suffering:
This is probably too late for you now but it legit works.
tldr:
- Do 15 HARD tasks (or 20 if going for talismans).
- Do 15/20 special tasks. The nice thing is you can binge these and do multiple in 1 lazy day.
- Do 4 challenges
- Log in every day.
- Do MEDIUM TASKS every day.
- Buy the full BP (the +15 level variant).
Medium tasks are doable in a single game (I go Naval arcade/realistic, Ground RB, Air sim as my pool of “I do whatever is fastest/easiest.”) If not, reroll until you get an easy and fast one.
For special tasks I only go for those that are minimum effort/consideration, never any that is “Do X within 1 battle and win” or variants. Stuff like “Kill 30 players in ASB flying a fighter. Get 80K damage dealt in NAB. Kill 24 people with Tank destroyer in GRB” - stuff you can complete without having to change your playstyle at all.
Also each challenge over 4 means you can do 15 less MEDIUM tasks. Which means 15 days where all you gotta do is log in and that’s it.
I so wish re-rolled tasks would be removed from the pool of possible re-roll outcomes. I don’t even want to know how many SL I’ve spent over the years re-rolling the same tasks multiple times while trying to find a decent one.

lol . . . yeah that thing where the first one you toss comes right back EVERYTIME if you roll
a third chance . . . . what a waste . . . . LOL
Maybe we could pay to get a “short list” of 4 or 5 we like and spin or choose from that.
I could get behind that, but yeah . . . over 5 years and 22 BP’s . . I don’t even wanna
know how many SL’s I have dumped re-rolling stuff . . . but I know . … it’s a LOT
