Will the stars cost 500 GE or still 1 thousand GE? Id prefer 500 this time, cause Im saving to buy 25k GE to get the tech tree A1A1, 2K, 2A4, 2A5, and 2A6 with GE. So either, cut GE prices down 75% on Christmas, because its Christmas, or make the stars cost between 300 and 500 GE, or make them cost SL, 10K SL per star seems good.
10k SL per star is extremely cheap
Yeah, Gaijin, cut GE prices, what you never do, because masonhp2008 wants it. kthxbai
yay :)
Thanks for the MiG gaijin :)) this looks like the perfect event cuz i can just get some GE and get dat MiG :D
How much will the stars cost in GE?
THE EBR???
This has to be the best event so far. Finally the EBR is here :D
How many hours would this take? Anyone can make a rough calculation? So I know that if I will do this event by myself or just ask my boss for overtime work and buy it later when it becomes available on the Gaijin marketplace lol.
Minimum estimation would be at least 20 hours per vehicle type if you're good and lucky, if not then double or more...
Happy to see every prize is from a different nation. Shame there can't be a prize on offer for every nation but it's understandable since there are so many now. Some interesting vehicles across the board too. It's been a whilst since I've wanted the majority of prizes in one event..
so how does this work? do we do all of the three missions in one battle or we can do it separately on different ones and if it independent is there a counter that will count every three missions 1 star is given to the player?
Is that an easter egg? Bismark? The name of the Picture from the german TH800 Vehicle?
