You dont have to pay anything every 75 days if you dont want too. The Matilda alone is practically the cost of the Battle Pass if you buy the pass. Let alone the fact that even if you did buy all the stages required to get all 4, you are getting 4 vehicles for what would be not even the cost of the T-10A.

Thats not also taking into account all of the other boosters, unique rewards and everything else included that are worth far more than what it actually is to purchase the pass or the stages required.

This also sidesteps the main point, that everyone can get a ton of things for free without anything. On top of all the usual bonuses of Warbond shops and on top of all the regular seasonal events.

Premium has been here since the game first began. It was not "introduced" because of something, its a core part of the games economy.

It exists in many F2P MMOs. Which I think is the major part you dont understand.

No Battle Pass offers the same thing was what a premium account subscription does.

They are separate things that offer separate bonuses.

Premium Account is faster progression. Battle pass is additional content and extras that are entirely optional.

Finding one example does not really change the fact that most are around the exact same price as ours.

It also does not change my main point, that comparing ours to a game that offers a lot less in their pass is also pointless because of course something that offers you less will be cheaper.

There are literally no Battle Passes available for any major game for £5-7, so I dont know where you get that from. Most games have prices around the same as ours and its also not a good idea to just compare X to Y as it depends on the content inside.

Ours comes with a huge amount of content for 2000 GE when you consider you can get 4 exclusive vehicles among the tons of other things.

Not for now.

Once again, those events where you can earn vehicles have not stopped or gone away.

This is something new on too of those that allows everyone to get an additional free vehicle and then for those that really want them, can purchase a battle pass and get even more rewards.

You can complete the tasks or you can buy a stage for 75 GE.

That's because it's not an event, but something entirely separate that runs for a minimum of 75 that allows everyone to get a free premium vehicle just by logging in and playing the game with basic missions.

That's on top of all the other normal events we have and will still have where you can earn free vehicles.

Everyone benefits from this and gets free content and those that want even more have that option.

What you and everyone else should do is exactly the same as we said yesterday. Wait for official news.

Right now everyone is just speculating and we cannot give the full official info yet before the news article is published.

As I have already said though, there will Indeed still be elements for free without the need to purchase anything. However those that want more can get more if they want to purchase.

Right now, the best thing to do is wait. Everyone else can only offer you speculation and most of it wrong.

We have not made any offical announcements yet, so discussions of this kind without all the facts are going to lead to a lot of assumptions and guesses.

Please wait for offical news and if you want to discuss it for now, please do so in the rumour topic:

It wasn't pushed back for a month at all. A "trend" is people looking backwards at release dates and comparing them to this update. This update is unlike any other and represents the move to a new game version entirely (2.X.XX.X). Because a bunch of previous years had one "trend" does not mean its set in stone and always will be that way.

You are watching The Shooting Range – a weekly show for all tankers, airmen and Captains in War Thunder.

In this episode:

Pages of history: the Elusive Aircraft Carrier


Tips & tricks... in Air Assault


... and Metal Beasts: Patton 2 with an Italian Flavour

The War Thunder team

Backups are not going anywhere. But if you want to grab some now and have a fresh start in the new system. Feel free.

Feedback is taken into account just the same here. This patch was built around a lot of things people had been requesting for quite some time and there have actually been quite a few changes since the dev server based around that feedback that was presented during them as well as the bug reported within them also being fixed.

It has no impact on progression at all outside of what the Warbonds store currently offers anyone anyway.

Again, it has no impact or relevance to the regular seasonal events. Its entirely separate.

No need to unless you really want something. Warbonds will still be relevant.

Premium account offers other bonuses beyond just RP boosts. On top of this, we also have boosters which are already given out as rewards for daily logins and events, that dont require a premium account at all and can be used by anyone. The two are separate and distinct things.

You are comparing battle passes that reward short term XP boosts to a premium account subscription in War Thunder.

There is no Battle pass that includes a premium account subscription.
