Reminder: You can fulfill the tasks ONLY in chronicles events.
I also want to point out that some of us aren't that good. Fighting well experienced, high level players doesn't help at ALL! Some or most of us work our self's to the BONE trying to get the planes/tanks! The other Rewords are nice but we don't try to grind them, we just get them no problem. But the tank grinding and not getting the tanks is a downer. I hope U guys don't take this as harsh and mean. I'm speaking for us. P.S. Can U guys lift my Chat Ban, I'm Sorry for the language that I used. :(
If U can. PLEASE Lift my ban! I just want to help my team mates and speak to my friends! It's Different now, it's just been hard the past year so I did get mad often. Also the Reports where in Custom Battles so PLEASE Just give me one more Chance! PLEASE?! :(
Odd, I got the PV-2D Harpoon but I didn't get the promised 6,000 lbs bomb load. Is that also coming in "one of the nearest updates" or did 2,000 lbs worth of explosive ordnance get lost in translation?
Odd, Gaijin moderators and admins only answer to comments that don't compromise them
Wish i could just buy them. i dont have the time anymore to grind out these events when there are so few british events it seems and the player base is so small in my prime time of australia.
You can buy trophies in item shop = you can buy vehicles during event.
I feel kinda dumb asking this but im struggling to figure this out. Could someone please explain the stages and how to do 6 when only 5 are listed? Thanks.
You unlock the vehicles by having 6 and 11 achievements, there's achievements for groundforces and for pilots. Every achievements is available for two days. You can unlock the achievement by fullfilling 3 of 5 possible conditions (kill X enemies/win X games/X times 1st place/kill X amount of enemies in a round/X killassists for a squadmate). The date for each achievement is listed in your stats under the achievements "WW2 chronicles" section.
Each event runs for 2 days but the scenario changes after 1 day so if your caught outby a lack of the right sort of vehicle you can catch up on the second day. Each event has 5 categories, you have to complete three of them to win. Theres only 5 events left to run though and you need 6 to win the Harpoon or Mathilda so would need to buy one of the event prizes.
I used to enjoy this game, now I"m just frustrated cause i stupidly thought "I can do this event thing" .
and it's no fun getting abuse from other players when they don't get supporting fire!
Great...wide open map and you have M10's V's Tigers, they park in the middle of the map and no one can touch the damn thing, tiger wins. Broken AF this event
Maybe next time do not drive straight on enemy tank. You do not need to be 20m away to destroy something.
