Happy Holidays to Gaijin Team and all players! Would be nice to have a discount on squadron vehicle talismans too.
Happy Christmas and New Year to Everyone! Thank you Gaijin Team for giving us this great timewaster game! It is so well done i've spent YEARS here and keep coming back. Please don't be frustrated by some people constantly complaining about this and that (yes, there are bugs, but there are bugs in life too!) and keep whining about not getting even MORE for free. May everyone be safe and happy and healty in the future - the Gaijin team, the players and even non-players :)
Could Gaijin change the British flag to Australian on Matilda Hedgehog because it was originally an Australian vehicle. And I would like to see you move Canadian tank Ram II (M4A5) to British tree so I could have the Commonwealth lineup. Happy New year! :)
Awesome! Thank you, Gaijin! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳
It states above: "50% off all vehicles in the game" That is just flat out not true regarding tech tree vehicles.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe!
