Very nice! Do more of this in the future! It would be even better if there was an event ingame with Stalingrad map and fixed set of vehicles like in simulator.
Not especially good if that was en event, people usually don't bother playing them. Good event though
an event with more rewards then just a decal, thanks gaijin :D
hear hear! if only more of the vehicles would be rank3 to be able to be used for the BP Dailies and Challenges.
Now if only universal backups weren't included as a possible reward. They seem to be swapping all the good rewards to those and i'm mad stacking them now. Closing in on 400 when I only had 200 a mere 5 months ago. Heck i've even got individual vehicles that are coming close to having 100 backups of their own.
Nice event. Manageable and useful rewards.
With low entry treshold celebrating a historically significant event
Pretty neat event for once
This is interesting. I'm in. Nice to have rank II task and not always those rank III or higher. :D
Not just Rank II - as far as I'm aware, with the Pz.35(t), this might actually be the first event where you can actually use a reserve vehicle!
Although would be nice if there was a rank 3 vehicle as an option so you could actually do warbonds and special tasks at the same time. I'm going to end up doing this even massively uptiered just because I don't want my progress to not count for other stuff too.
I personally really like this kind of small event. keep it up.
That's cool; hopefully we'll see more of these sorts of events in the future. I'd personally prefer minor nations since I don't play the big3 a lot, but maybe I'll dust off my low-tier Germans to try and grind this out.
Low tier Germany was pretty fun for this event, not going to lie.
I very much appreceate the return of camouflages as rewards.
an actual event which promotes some gameplay? Great! and rewards??? EVEN BETTER.
(possible) camo rewards and historical vehicle use? i am in love!!!
