Why are the “free” vehicles in top tier stock?

So I thought gaijin actually had a decent idea until i remembered they are gaijin… so we can’t research ANYTHING on these vehicles!? Stock Heat FS rounds that are useless, no ability to repair… I mean come on gaijin.

so you still grind and therefore hopefully accelerate/skip the grind with real money

If you actually grind the free vehicles they’re still stock. When the update came out they often even replaced my spaded vehicle from my lineup with a stock variant, which I really hope they patched already.

These vehicles should just come with all the modifications you have for that specific vehicle. That way they still encourage grinding them, but don’t punish you for doing that.
Though even without it’d be nice to have essentials like parts, thermals/LRF for top tier and at least the first available APFSDS so they’re not just stuck with HEAT. I understand making them worse than spaded vehicles if you don’t have them, but at least make them usable.

Its just another prime example of Gaijin having an actual good idea, then implementing it horribly. It really is a shame how downhill the quality of WT has gone in the last year.

If they do that then there wont be a point in buying extra crew slots for GE.

As always with gaijin its a bad implementation of a good idea
