"To celebrate the anniversary, we are bringing back one premium vehicle to each nation for purchase - they will be available for purchase with Golden Eagles" - for now, we do not have plans to withdraw them after the Anniversary, so they should stay and be available to buy even after it.
I hope there are not any rank restrictions for getting the motor boat, right ?
The new Ju 288 C will get the 50 % discount too?
NVM "Except vehicles 1.81 & 1.83"
You dirty rotten so-and-sos! The He-162A-1 is a tournament plane? WHY!!!
P.S. Happy Birthday
Well that sucks, i leave for boot camp on the 29th. RIP free boat.
will the Returned premium vehicles stay for sale even when event is over?
Love the sales, though will there be anything related to event vehicles for land forces/air? As personally I am not that interested in the naval aspect and would love to try and get another armored car seeing as those seem all the rage in these over the last couple years. Also, last couple years there was a bonus gift to people whom have bought GE(was 150/500 eagles if memory serves), is that happening again or has it been discarded?
So now I read old discussions in English last year where it was promised that Gaijin in 2018 will return the possibility to get KV-1E and other machines from older events either under warbonds or GE and that in KV-1E it will probably be in the summer, summer is gone and nothing. It is a pity that it can not be solved as in the election when you bury a party that does not fulfill the promises. What forgotten promises is the Gaijin expert. Again, all the best to celebrate but make promises!
again a tournament? well...still happy birthday to you
want it for free?
NST_, yes
For the Ya-5m, what tier do you need to be for the naval battle to count?
Question. Is the BE-6 going to stay or is it limited time only? Also happy birthday!
Are the anniversary premium vehicles (like the Be-6, AMX 13 SS.11, or Grant Mk.I) going to disappear after the birthday sale event, or will they remain available permanently?
