Reminder: You can fulfill the tasks ONLY in chronicles events.
okay... need to be get rid of this Chronicles event, the amount of time needed to get in one battle is geting ridiculous, the unbalanced play just one thing the major problem is nobody want to play whit the russian side now... what is that mean? thats mean only a few ppl can complete the stage 8, whitout enemy you cant do s*it in the event.
Play different game modes and squad up with random people that want to do the task, that's how i did it.
Erdeibetyar, no not realy...
THIS IS LITERALLY MAKING ME WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE! I SPEND 7 STRAIGHT HOURS DOING THIS POS EVENT AND WITH 16 MINUTES LEFT AND 2/3 DONE QUEUE THUNDER MAKES ME WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR A GAME AND I DIDN'T GET THE LAST ONE. I AM LEGIT HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN.

I actually really enjoy the chronicles events... when there is no aircraft presence. Despite being almost entirely a ground forces player and therefore only using planes in GF mode myself, I would rather not be able to complete my pilot tasks at all than the effect they have on the ground events right now. It rapidly descends into one team being all aircraft, so you either lose (no tanks to cap) or win without activity (nothing to shoot). It's both extremely dull AND makes the tasks far harder.
This problem does also extend slightly to regular ground forces (outside the events I mean), partly it could be solved by raising the SP cost of planes in ground forces mode, it should take more than rushing a point to be able to spawn one. I agree there needs to be reward for capping a point, but in most cases one team has faster vehicles and cannot be stopped from achieving this.
Can one unlock more that one Achievement per day, and if not are these available for purchase?
I realised they are easy
I would like to suggest an Idea if I may. I think that a good addition to this would be to have a way of checking daily progress, I.E. having a way to see what stages you have completed for that day, and which ones you can accomplish to achieve a chronicle award
You can do it in achievement menu.
Gaijin would you add the KV-2 mod.1940 into the russian tech tree as a standart tank? The 1939mod. is awful and ugly as hell...
Hey Gaijin, how about making these events less fighter centric? How about adding the possibility to earn marks by bombing bases and destroying ground forces (in Arcade Air Battles where there are no player controlled ground forces) so that those of us, who like flying bombers and/or attackers have a little more fun grinding than they have right now? Even for fighter players it would be nice to have a variety of targets instead of the same fighter all the time (in arcade most fly the same nation)
1: Why is this news item dated May 7th 2017?? 2: Is Gaijin considering even acknowledging the spawn-kill issues? 3: It's okay Stona_WT. I'd delete posts by people who see through me, too; just not when they're legitimately game-pertinent posts. Why? Because then I'd be no better than you :-/
