Why I WON'T Be Grinding This Year's Crafting Event

Ойындар

War Thunder's crafting events have always been my favorite time to play War Thunder, and in my view the ideal type of event that benefits all players regardless of the time commitment they are willing to put towards the game. However, the current October 2023 crafting event has been drastically different to past events, and Gaijin has removed everything that made crafting events fun for people who don't have lots of time to spare. Also, does it really need to be that complicated?
On a more positive note, we just made a banner for our KZread channel, which looks great! Check it out on our channel page. Extra credit if you recognise the historical figure we put on the banner.

    the worst is, every one in 3 missiles is operational, meaning you have to create about 9 missiles at most for 3 reports, so basically what gajin is saying here is "get good kiddo"

    Yep you need to test 2 bombs to get access to market. AND when I got there, I was able to sell materials only for day. Some materials had cost even a bit more that 0.8, but rn you have a queue over than 7000 people... with price tag 0.10 you have a chance that something will be sold, but it is miserable. Still got my 2GC and 1 report for bomber.

    As far as the slower grinding is concerned, you're kind of missing the fact that there are multipliers for using particular modes or higher rank vehicles which significantly cuts the amount of time to get mission score for the event

    In short, the war thunder event only matters for people who can actively no life the game. Nothing has changed. On a different note, I much prefer the score based events as opposed to time. The time ones allow people to afk too much and kind of ruin matches (of which I am also guilty). At least with the score based ones you are actually rewarded for playing well by being able grind the event quicker. Also when being able to sell components on the market actually matters is early in the event. I was able to sell on day 2 of the event and things sold for about 0.20 - 0.30 a piece. The price always decreases as the event continues so getting in early is the key, if you have the time. If you don't, the event is nearly worthless unless there is a cool vehicle you want, which this one has none except the low tier plane.

    0:59 the last time they did the "specific tasks" was the Winter event you showed in 2021, they changed it to a mission score style similar to the current crafting event (I know this one is different and is also mission score based) but with a lower mission score requirement being 40k across 2 days instead of the current events 75k in 1 day (bs in my opinion). Though if I recall, wasn't the last crafting event also mission score based? The april fools one with the QN506 as the reward tank? 4:18 also you dont need to grind 2/3 of the way there, you just need to test 2 missiles (the first 2 always fail from what I can tell). And earlier on in the event in the first day or 2 the resources were around 80 cents.

    My bad, I should have mentioned that the last summer and winter events had a mission score style. I do believe however I did mention that last April crafting event had a mission score style. My understanding was that you need to test 3 missiles to get the top tier reward, and you need to test 2 to be able to sell materials. If it is as you said and the first 2 missiles always fail, wouldn't that mean you need to grind 4/5 of the way to the top tier reward? On the first day materials were selling for quite a bit, but that's because only a few people will be able to test 2 missiles and unlock the ability to sell materials in the first day or two of the event.

    @@27jagers If I remember correctly I was able to sell my materials after testing both the first 2 failed missiles, I could be mistaken though, it may have been after crafting 2 working ones, I wasn't paying attention to it much sadly. But yes the first 2 did always fail for everyone I talked to about the event, but it may be random which ones fail after that. I think in order to actually get 3 working missiles it took me crafting 8 or 9 of them as well btw, so a very annoying to grind event. And yes I'm aware it's because only a few people got there, it's kind of dumb imo that you can only sell 20 of them and that it was limited (unless you buy a material from the shop and unpack it, you gain an extra box for each one you buy and unpack).

    I bought it because i thought 20 mils on a 1.3 plane would be OP. I was sorely disappointed. I guess I should have expected that, it is french after all. Basically your 20 mils are very slow-firing, you have only 30 rounds per cannon, and the cannons don't even deal that much damage, they rarely one-shot. Maybe I'll make a video on it someday.

It does a lot of damage at close range (300m ish) Alas it is a French plane as you said and therefore is disapointing 😂 id love to see a vid on it

    The whole point of a War Thunder event is so you can unlock vehicles, but the crafting event takes a long time to grind in order to unlock the vehicle rewards. What I used to like about the crafting event was even if you weren’t able to complete the event, you could still sell some of your materials in exchange for golden eagles. They basically removed that feature in this event, which is what I dislike.
