it's too much fun to watch.

Todays update:

And you are asking a question we cannot answer one week after we just had a major update.

We are not going to reveal plans for the next update in any capacity ahead of time.

We literally just had a major update last week.

Not close to the 10% you claimed

I was just clarifying the facts.

This is precisely the point. The overwhelming majority of them are in the main trees and there will always be the need to have rare, limited, exclusive and unique vehicles for other means too.

Indeed some did. But not everyone, so we have to keep a varied mix.

The point being, 2000 vehicles have been / are obtainable with more being added every update. Excluding the obtainable vehicles you yourself dont have but counting everything thats been in an event also des not really make any meaningful comparison. We are looking at things as a whole here.

Indeed. Nobody is forced to partake

There are plenty of unique and interesting vehicles for every nation available in their standard trees. With more being added all the time.

There has to be some limited vehicles set side for events and other seasonal occasions. In a game with over 2000+ playable machines, only a very small % of those end up as limited event vehicles.

Event vehicles also by there nature have to be interesting. Thats one of the key points of the event. To be something that actually appeals to people to be worthwhile obtaining.

Unfortunately, variants of are not always popular vehicles. As past events have sometimes shown, straight up variants often are not as interesting.

The purpose of event vehicles is to be unique and interesting to as many people as possible. Whilst also trying to cover as many nations over time as possible.

One of the key pieces of feedback we have is to have worthwhile event vehicles for minor nations. There are so many vehi...

In the last major update alone, 30 free vehicles/models were added. So in just a single update, there is already nearly equal free vehicles to those found in seasonal events and battle passes.

Given we generally have 5 of those a year, some of which have had huge new tree releases containing a whole tree full of free vehicles its really not hard to see that the event and BP vehicles are a very minor % of the yearly vehicle count.

When you just search for a crying gif but forget the RR will over analyse any thing

My mistake, confused with another Spit (The problem when you have so many)))) Its not planned to return for now as I said. It was a limited time thing. But it may come back in the future.

Feel free to submit a suggestion.

Its very unlikely it will return for an event as its now on the marketplace. It was a limited time collectable. But we cant rule anything out entirely.

The second question is one for the E-Sports area.

Ah yes, because the Battle of Britain was famous for the many Soviet Spitfires that partook ))))

Jokes aside, the Soviet Spitfire is the IX, which came out years after the Battle of Britain. It does not really have any relation other than its a Spitfire. But not even a model that took part in the battle.

The skin is a promotional commemoration for the battle pass named after the season. The text is intentional.

All of the details of how the MM works can be found here:

https://wiki.warthunder.com/Matchmaker

Likely the BRs of the lineup you were playing and the time of day. It hasn't "changed" because it never existed in the first place.

Your bug report has not been deleted at all. Its pending mod approval as all bug reports require.

Premium vehicles have the same matchmaker as every other vehicle.

There is no "rigged" premium matchmaking.

That may well be your personal outcome, however the repair costs are set based on what the vehicle is actually earning on average. Because you personally do not, does not mean everyone is also not. Some very clearly are because thats what the statistics show is actually happening.

We are now greatly deviating from the point of this topic. If you want to discuss repair costs in more depth, you can do so here:

Once again, repair costs are a reflection of what the vehicle is actually doing economically. If it has a higher repair cost, it means its actually earning more and is therefor more likely to be a better performing vehicle.

A new player is going to choose whatever nation interests them the most or whatever nation has the most vehicles they want the most. Naturally, thats going to more often than not be nations that have lots of globally very well known vehicles that people of all ages know about and are invested in. When they have some experience with the game, they often switch to other nations they did not know much about or were perhaps not as invested in and from their, expand their skills.
