Warriors!
recently we ran a survey summarizing the results of the winter holidays specials, where the players could share their achievements or tell us about difficulties they faced. Some questions had several reply options.
Let’s check the results together!
Enemies, take heed! War Thunder players are marching down the path of war! Over 75% of players chose destroying enemies as their favourite task! While the number of “pacifists” is considerably lower - 42% of players preferred beating the target score of 2017.
Are you a tanker or a pilot? This is an important one, some tasks were easier to perform in ground battles while others seemed more comfortable for pilots.
The difference is not huge? Ok, now What prizes did you win?
Makes sense! Players managed to unlock more armoured vehicles than aircraft but anyway, almost everyone who got the vehicles, achieved what they wanted. Congratulations once again!
Now what about difficulties - which tasks proved to be the most challenging?
Hm, looks like people do not trust their teammates very much, of course it’s hard to turn the tide of battle whilst playing solo, especially several times in a row. But if you got lucky with your team what about time? Did you feel there was enough time to complete the tasks?
Not bad at all, less than half of the players experienced difficulties while trying to earn their desired vehicles.
Thank you to everyone who participated, your feedback is very important to us, tell us what do you think about the results - share your opinions!

I'm really happy to see an this increased communication with us. Keep it up!
same. they've lowered difficulty and provided more leniancy on the tasks, i could be biased being a german player getting some better end of the deal on the available choices of vehicle, but as others said it would have attracted more players to have tasks done in random battles to but then it lost the feel of joining special events with mind you, different maps and modes even. maybe should just integrate all limited events into permanent modes
I think the poll should have asked for suggestions regarding future events. It would have been a logical option given the fact you were looking for feedback.
We will have more polls in the future if necessary, including event ones.
Thulle_, it is necessary, please do many more \o/
The biggest issues I had with the event were: i) that it was really grindy. Same tasks over and over. Even the 'win' component could be. One day it took over 45 games to get 10 wins. ii) The WW2 Chronicles meant that we were playing the same vehicles, over-and-over, with only a few days where the better tanks were on another tree. It was "T-34 Thunder" most days. iii) Would have been much better if we could have just done the tasks in a standard game mode. Maybe Tiers 2 to 5 to stop T1 clubbing.
Also Battle Activity made it harder to achieve the gold stars for wins in the forums we are suggesting Gaijin to remove the Battle Activity system. Also i agree it would have been much better if we could have just done the tasks in a standard game mode. using Ranks 2 to 5 so we can play what ever we want to play.
Solid_Snake01, Very true. I managed to get 69% far too many times...
Best event yet, I worked up most of the tank event, spent 3,000 GE on the tanks, and 10,000 for the 262. Been worth it so far
0 ge on type 62 and me 262 didnt care
isaacfarris, good job, but still glad we had the option to grab a few stages over the holidays
66% + 80% = 146%...
Gaijin still ignores that all those who didn't win any trophy could NOT take part in the survey! And the 42% of participants who didn't have enough time to fullfill the tasks are commented "Not bad at all". Gaijin guys, are you born cynical?
J1775_Venom, the fact it's the total must be 100%....
It would have been interesting for me to see the distribution of AB/RB and SB as i seem to remember the last question was in this regard. I love Sm a lot but despite higher online user counts in recent weeks, the sim events dont seem to attract more folks.
Survey results for type 62 heat ??????????
they don't care of us don't think they are gonna put it xD
DoomDoom, wasnt heat fs added for the type 62
With all due respect, Stona, I would argue that this poll doesn't really capture much information, or provide much insight into the player base and their interests. For starters, what percentage of people are both pilots and tankers? What percentage received all four prizes? Neither does it provide much information about whether people actually enjoyed the event; whether or not they liked the format, or would suggest changes or tweaks to it. That's a shame as that would be interesting to know.
CONT. (sorry for length!) ... For my part, I thought many of the stages were pretty fun, but as with most Gaijin events, they were super grindy and required a lot of time even from an experienced player. The disappointment I think everyone shared, as you know, was the Type 62. I think players expected another KV-220, which is probably unrealistic. It was awesome you guys quickly added HEAT and adjusted the BR, but I don't get the impression that solved anything.
Tasks this year were a grind for a solo player like me, i quit trying to do the dailys task early, no regrets, it was too much time wasted trying to do them for me. Activity requirement % was set FAR too high
Love how 42% of the player base not having enough time is "not bad". Personally I didn't even bother with the event because I wasn't going to be able to get the 2nd tier of prizes and without the big prizes, that event is fun for about an hour and then its the same thing over and over day after day after day. Looks like most people agreed with me too. Almost no statistical difference between people who got the first reward and second. The first reward should have been like 4 not 6.
The prizes are rare planes/tanks that you cant buy after the event
