Players with Premium Accounts have been given extra 12 hours of premium time.
I'm literaly shaking with exitment!
I am shaking with rage. This thing is crashing all the time.
All answers (6)boombomb, Me scared too that it would not work
Sit down, take few deep breaths and click PLAY on launcher ;)
All answers (12)Stona_WT, I will... when the download is completed ^^
Why isnt the battle pass free for premium players, instead of making it cost extra gold?
Because, that would...make.....sense
Dozer15, How would it work if you only had 1 day of premium?
It's a separate level of content above what premium account offers. It has nothing to do with Premium account.
All answers (6)Smin1080p, For you guys we players are just walking wallets, right? How about balancing maps instead adding more paid stuff?
omg new/reworked game mechanics sound great!
Needs more Retro-Synthwave imo -_-
Should've implemented "NEW SERVER" fix before New Power update. Server connectivity is abysmal. No amount of T-90 or T-14 will save the game if the servers don't respond properly !!!
Thx for the b-day gift gaijin :P
Happy Birthday cheezymuffin!
Wish for gaijin to fix the grind 2 years is too much to spend going to the top of ONE FRICKING NATIONS ARMY
thank you Gaijin, very cool
Enjoy!
All answers (9)Stona_WT, Where is P-51A??? :(((
Not cool. There are vehicles to repair, all all those guys in hangar/maintenance area are just idling, sunbathing or having a drink in the party tent. What a shame :-)
All answers (1)Jahrain, I counted 19 guys on the airforce and army compounds. Out of these, two are actually doing something.....fiddling with tires on their maintenance trucks. The rest are slacking off. I guess I have found my dream job - idling among tanks and ogling those cool warbirds.
Tiger 2 sla.16 is bugged, I cannot switch to roof machine gun to fire it separately + when i bind button to fire coax machine gun, it also fires smoke granade. I will report it as a bug but want more people to know about it.
Add to that the prerequisite label readjustment that seems to occur every time gaijin does anything new...thanks for that gaijin, why don't you learn to leave well enough alone?
All answers (2)CHiPs, that's part of the charm of gaijin, the predictable incompetence of their "improvements"
Same thing happens to me, i hope they see this.
GrumpyTank_1, LOL, Bug Thunder...
Damn i want that T90. Aww shieet, here we go grinding again.
Myself and other's have found a major issue. During some Air RB games, the tickets will suddenly start draining from one of the teams after a couple of minutes for no reason until that team loses. This bug should be addressed ASAP.
only one?
this is so amazing, i noticed some music i havent heard before, did we get some new music?
Yup. Some nice tracks are there!
All answers (2)Stona_WT, Retro-Synthwave o.-?
I need to finish work right now and set my eyes on this glorious update! Good work folks, I bet you're all very proud!
of what?! their mistakes?
Renamed40027, ikr, is there anything they didn't fokker up?
