lol... the US army uses your videogame images and doesn't even credit you....... how ungrateful they are.
It's a big incentive, when you don't have top tier, that you can buy it in store using your money, that you are working for this hard.
thats cool
Now this makes me happy. Good job Gaijin:)
Hold on... you're letting people straight up buy a top tier line up?
Hmmm yes "Help" train the US Army tankers to fight by putting them up against the entirety of Europe despite being allies in NATO. Leave out the Chinese and the Japanese. Yes. Absolutely fantastic.
"If you don’t have vehicles of rank V and above, you will be able to purchase them in the Gaijin.Net Store in order to participate in the event." So I see its another cash-grab because no one with any sort of personal life would be able to grind a full top-tier lineup to use in this game without wanting to rip their eyes out and burnout from the game.
I mean it doesnt matter to me as I have M1A2 but why exclude people who are below rank V? this could have been a great taste for new players or people still thinking what nation to grind? Would have been a nice bonus to try a T80 or a Leo2 to see if it is worth grinding those trees..... Missed opportunity here :( Greed trying to get people to buy a tier V for a nation they might not like.
Makes sense. The Victory Day cannot be celebrated until 4 month later for the other half of the Earth.
Whilst I more than qualify in six of the seven nations mentioned (Sorry Sweden I'm not there yet) and would qualify with the other nations not mentioned. I can't see any battle which doesn't use a 400sqkm map (20x20) without cities as worthwhile. As for Realistic Battles being nowhere near realistic which is a whole other discussion...
