So this is a bit frustrating. I specialized HEAVILY into german tank crew and the Puma when I first started, and have spent literally every single silver equipment card I’ve gotten thus far on Puma parts to upgrade to level 4 Puma. I’m now at level 3 with half the parts I need left to get to level 4.
… Only to find out I couldve gotten a level 4 Puma completely for free through the twitch drops that just started, and which I’m now working on… Now it feels like I’ve wasted a solid 12-15 silver equipment cards if I get the twitch drop Puma.
Is there some way to get an alternative reward, or failing that, like, cards refunded for any puma parts I’ve used? I dunno how Gaijin does rewards, but I know in world of tanks, if you already have the same vehicle as a reward vehicle, they’ll often just give you an equivalent value in premium currency. How is this reward Puma even being implemented anyway, is it just, like, a skin applied to the current puma you’ve already unlocked, and full upgrade, or is it a separate vehicle? I dont see a use for 2 Pumas given you can only have 1 vehicle unit, is there any way to sell the standard one for something useful?
Anyway, I feel like I’ll be a bit cheated if I go for the twitch drop Puma, and be like… I already got one this good I invested so much into.
I dunno, maybe they figured nobody would put that much effort into a puma crew yet. But, well, here I am, lol.
Also, I’m writing all this under the assumption that the Puma 18 is a level 4, because thats what a few people told me. Is that even true, or is it just a special skin?
Actually, if it’s anything like the Bt-7 we got, the fully upgraded free version of the vehicle will be better than the Twitch drop version. The Twitch drop version of the Bt-7 was better than stock, but not the upgraded one.
Welp, frustratingly, this is indeed a 4 star puma with apparently no benefits or drawbacks over the regular 4 star puma.
Which means I sunk a TON of resources into upgrading the regular puma for literally no reason as this one is free. Most of those silver requisition cards came from the challenges. It’s not like I can just redo them and get those silver cards back, they’re effectively lost forever. I now have 2 Pumas, one that’s 4 stars, one that’s basically 3.5 stars, and I have no need for 2 of them. As for getting new silver cards from here on out, the daily tasks seemingly NEVER give silver cards, even for the harder ones like “be first place”, leaving pretty much the battlepass alone, which is a slow trickle of decent cards… Or go whale and pay to win about it.
I feel like I’ve pissed away my initial advantages with unlocking silver cards through challenges and grinding something myself and a ton of other people got for free.
I get this probably just sounds like pissing and moaning, but I’d like to hope anybody reading this could at least understand my frustration, and why I legit kinda want a my cards refunded and my regular puma reset to level 1 star. Or at least have this reward puma exchanged for something of similar value. Because as it stands now, this reward puma basically isn’t a real reward. It’s a nice looking skin at best.
