Both event types may have the same event format with the current one having more rewards but I see a drastic change on playing the event itself compared to last year. Its way sweatier than ever with some sweaty players just go to the meta faction and meta squads which are Normandy and Berlin Axis that have mostly similar high level equipment(regular FG42 II, Sniper STG and Tiger II may eventually come to Normandy too) to finish the tasks as fast and as easy as possible.
Yes this makes more players play but there are teams that are just horrendous resulting in mostly stomp matches where bad teams ruining gameplay with armed with mostly bolt actions + starter tanks and not building rally points at all while everyone else I see lots of people abusing flaks lately alongside planes and arty spam. To make things worse, the ranking system and the WR ratio being a thing unlike last year making some players to play sweaty all the time.
This year is just more sweaty to play and even frustrated me already in Berlin as Soviets which is why I ended up doing some tasks elsewhere especially in Normandy as Germans with lots of marshals playing Germany. Events may not yet be on the same level of frustration as War Thunder but at this rate, its on its way to that level already.
That’s a hole Darkflow dug themselves into. When you give Moscow USSR T-34, T-50 and PPSh-41 and then challenge the players to achieve 2 victories, obviously no one in their right mind will play Moscow Germany that day.
I think all events should be based on the Even Fight event: random faction in a random campaign.
And yes currently we the working people have 1-2 hours in the evening to complete the challenges so naturally we would choose the quickest way.

Most player are just using the quickest way to get event reward. Why blaming a event that give lots of free stuff?
A big no, many player haven’t even max out 1 campaign, how are they gonna grind the event with starter squad or they need some weapon they haven’t unlock on that campaign?
I haven’t maxed out a single campaign either despite playing since OBT (except Stalingrad). Currently it sucks for new players too because if they don’t have AT guns unlocked, they simply can’t complete the last set of challenges.
And yeah I mean the pre-determined loadout system as in Even Fight.
If so, they will be be stuck on the get 60 machine gun kill first(July 26-28) Since most campaign unlock at squad first instead of mg squad.
The problem is that some of the good Soviet players went to Moscow while the noobs went to Berlin. Same could be said about Western Allies flocking to Tunisia while the Axis players are mostly in Normandy while some of them in Berlin thus Axis Tunisia suffered.
As far as I know Normandy got the worst hit for Allies where Axis is more consistent in winning there for the event especially with full marshal high level teams.

Easy to say for you who has a lot of stuff unlocked.
Think of a player who joined on the first day of the event - they have zero chance to have the final rewards.
Obviously, the pre-determined squads would have to fit the challenges, so if you need MG kills you would get MG squad/soldiers in other squads.
I wish they had randomly assigned the tasks to players. We would all have had the same tasks over the same time period but we all wouldn’t be doing the same tasks at the same time.
Ok? You can stop chewing on your own poop now.
Pre-determined squads with the needed equipment would not hurt anyone and make the gameplay more balanced for any event.
Facts.
They hurt because if you have do 50 kill of a rifle or 40 engi assist or 5 tank kill or other shit, if you can progress the task with one man each time, you need at least 3,4 battle for do thath 
i want see you do boltie kill with a single guy each 3 squad
And thats bad? The Allies stick to Tunisia or Moscow. Its circle of meme.

You act as if it’s somethig impossible.
a) pre-determined squads can change literally every time new tasks arrive;
b) pre-determined squads can have versatile compositions (couple MPs, couple MGs, couple Engis in each suad, etc);
c) there can be as many as 9 pre-determined squads (like in Stalingrad) for full flexibility.
In the end, the goal is to have balanced matches, not everyone flocking to meta factions and campaigns during events.
It is, wen your developers refuse to fix bug after year people are reporting them, you understand is better dont ask for complicate thing Because they
can damage you a lot and ruin the game
So you want predetemined squad?
Leave them in ranked event and let reward event stay free

I just want to play any faction and campaign I want and not get pubstomped during events.
Like try playing Tunisia Axis on EU in the evening - literally 1 real player against 10 marshals.
Hence, Even Fight/pre-determined squads would at least make all factions equally playable during the event, if done right.
Dude you understand this event is for complete objectives you can do all of them playing moscow axis in 3 hour even losing all match, if you want fair play as i said
ask for another ranked event like last one leave this reward event as it is
You can spam your idea in all forum but im sure no one gonna agree with you so drop this here
Right, because “achieve 2 victories” and “get 50 BA kills” is equally challenging as Moscow Axis against T-34 and PPSh-41 sweatlords and as Tunisia Allies against bots.
And I say: I never asked for your advice or opinion on what I should do.
No but you trying to convince me, even if i dont want be convinced because is a stupid idea, so lest drop here
And yes you can win 2 time in axis moscow, normandy allaies, axis tunisia ecc… simply keep play
I don’t care to convince you. You replied to my message with No, I replied to yours with Yes. End of story.
