Operation W.I.N.T.E.R. is now live!
Just for additional clarification, much like the F-4F, a later modification of the MiG-23 will be added to the German tree in a future update.
Why is the H8K3 a higher BR then the H8K2? It's exactly the same plane! I love that it is tier II so I can use it for war bonds, but that doesnt seem to make it worth a higher BR right?
@Stona: On the page of the event, it says "You can complete the tasks in random battles (excluding “Enduring Confrontation” and “Assault”). But then in the objectives list it says, for example: "Destroy 12 enemies in one battle (4 in RB or 3 in SB)." Note SB is mentioned. So how are we gonna complete the objective in SB when there are no more operations? .. did you just copy/paste the event objectives from last year...? :D
SB got tank battles which are not EC.
Awesome! More tip rewards for
Top rewards for the nations that need more vehicles the most! Quite predictable tbh. There's a list laying around with all event rewards the past events, you might take a look, Gaijin! Some nations barely have any rewards at all! Inb4 "but...but..they should all tt vehicles first...". Sure, but they don't, do they? More for German, Soviet and US...Good job!!
Gaijin thanks for making this event, real nice. Also, thanks for making it viable for everyone to complete. Could you possibly give the TCM AGS better firepower? It's a Tank Destroyer after all, it shouldn't really have a weak round.
Will have to GE 2/3rds of this event, because I have to do stuff over Chirstmas so can only do planes. Bring back the easy Challenges.
These challenges are pretty easy and I can complete half of em in an hour or so
Hey gaijin you should introduce also one UNIQUE battleship in Italian teck tree. Its the Greek battleship George Averof.
Female warrior coupons that are forced with Naval battles? Seriously? Not gonna start naval anytime, not even for battle pass not even for decals... Can we atleast pick decal with that coupon or is it Random again?
One thing, if you interesting on marking DDR items, could you please take the DDR items out to Redfod in simbattle? I really hate those who driving a useless bmp1 in the semi-top tier while they have everything more useful than a bmp in that room.
any chance that the AC III with the 2 25pdr's becomes a UK squadron vehicle?
this will f-up top tier even more than F4F by granding basically new players a ridiculouly fast way to 11.0...
