"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.
Happy Birthday WT congrats to the team for making the milestone.....hard to believe three years ago my favourite tank was introduced
How about bring back the Gaijina Event as well to celebrate? now we got modern tank and chopper ^^
What has been fixed since CBT for Naval? OBT released and ammunition still resets to default on aeroplanes after a match when playing fleet module.
Happy birth day Gaijin and Gaijilla! I'm looking forward to what you'll bring us and i hope the game lasts for a long time! Have a nice day ya'll !!
For once the faith in the great snail returned! But you should have made the XM1(C) available for everyone to buy, for this event!
I really wished there were more gifts for every nation in game. Older vehicles such as tb3, po2, x5f5, 109 e7 , and tanks ofc ,ect...
nice, :) took premium m4a5 today, i think i will take pzIIIn tomorrow :)
is it me or are the sales on the store not activated yet? or did i read it wrong?
Read the newspost again, all dates are there
Nov 1st.
That's an unusual selection of premiums to return. The grant is very old, and low rank, whereas the BE-6 is very new, and mid rank. Not saying this is good or bad, just confused by this choice.
All of them were sold in store in packs a while ago and discontinued, but now are returned for GE.
Its based on premium vehicles that had been limited time purchases, and removed from the store. Now they are back.
I'm just a tiny bit disappointed that there were no gift vehicles for air and ground this year. Yes, I get that you need to push Naval, but throw us a bone if we don't like Naval. That said, I've already spent quite a bit on this years sale, and more will follow. And all because you chose to listen to your playerbase. A happy playerbase is a spending playerbase, Gaijin. Keep it up.
