Reminder: You can fulfill the tasks ONLY in chronicles events.
Gaijin... O Gaijin.... You know no one likes these events. They are terribly balanced and you force them to play to get cool planes and tanks... WHY.
You=/=every player. You do not like them, it's ok, we cannot please everyone (but we will still try).
Gaijin Events simply suck. It hurts me to say it but that's how it is. It's a "bye bye social life" grind-to-the-max nightmare that get's harder every year. The tasks of these year are near to impossible to achieve without a reliable squad - which the majority of playes won't have. I already have to read in the forums from a lot of disappointed players that they realized after only 3 battles that they won't attend to participate in this madness - no matter how charming the prices.
Bye bye life
same.............

Praise the Snail God! This event is actually very doable for people who work 50+ hrs a week. We have a schedule and the tasks are very reasonable compared to past events. We only need 11 tokens for the max reward and have two days to complete?!?! This is amazing! The people complaining here do not understand that these vehicles are special and there needs to be a decent amount of effort to win them. Pro-tip: If one day's match is too hard, just wait until the next day. Cheers!
Not sure if trolling or serious
Axesome, Pretty sure hes misread it I did. 3 of 5 basically means its undoable easily.
Such good planes. Such a bad event though. I don't think gaijin knows that people really hate these events. Why can't we have something similar to OP S.U.M.M.E.R. where the achievements could be made in the normal mm. Restricting the tanks and planes that people could use destroys the fun, especially when people have specific tanks that they love to play. Did I mention the tank RB events were not fairly balanced last time? Last time, tanks were getting killed by planes as if they had no armour.
word, I desperately want the yak 3t, but I'd much rather pay for an expensive pack than spend hours on end grinding in this nightmare event that I hate.
tnix80, I think that is the idea, $$ to the snail
For these battles, German tanks have max BR of 2.3 (StuG A etc)... Soviet tanks have max BR of 3.7 (T34 1941)... #balance
Soviet WW2 chronicles celebrating the Victory Day comrade ... Axis Nations cannot be balanced, must be smashed... at lest Germans will have regular events they can participate in unlike some other Nations ...
Kanay, They're doing historical lineups, lmao
Why did you make the tasks harder than last time? Didnt you give us a survey about it?
The tasks are not harder: https://warthunder.com/en/news/4416-special-war-thunder-winter-holiday-en/
The tasks are much easier than last time. For example there are no wins in a row.
This sounds very much like the last chronicles at Xmas where it turned into nothing but T-34 spam and that stupidly bumpy snow map. I gave that up out of boredom and frustration why can't we just do this in normal battles? It would be more fun and more than likely see more people participating.
The goal of these events is to make you frustrated so you buy the stages with GE
Axesome, the chronicles event is just so tedious. you are right sir, they want us to spend the golden birds, and a lot of us will. the tank rb will be awful because 90% of the team will spawn planes, and air rb will be awful because 1 team is usually is in much better planes (109 g-2 vs p-40), so you either wait in Q forever to get on the good team or get a instant Q to be the sheep. I kinda of want the new stuff but I don't want to play a game mode I hate to get them. golden birds it will be..
RIP my spare time.
I just realized I would literally rather go to work than do these horrible events.
as bad as I want the yak 3t. I'd rather slave away a couple more hours at work and buy the pack. There's a diminishing return to feeling good about getting it free when you waste countless hours banging your head against the wall. I am usually pro-snail but is an epic fail gaijin.
Just let us get these achievements by playing normal matches... please....
Nope. They are designed for Chronicles
Stona_WT, Damn right! It's a stomp or be stomped world we live in, Steve
Fantastic. T34's against P3's and short barrel P4's. So historical. When can we expect to see Tigers clubbing T34's? Never? Oh what's that you only care for your soviet wet dream? But you guys go ahead and joke about Russian bias like good little KGB officers. This is why i haven't paid money to you guys in a LONG time because instead of making a game you design it around your pathetic politics.
Why can't I like twice?
But they do have Tigers clubbing t34's
