Gold Order Vehicle Overhaul

This is an addendum to my previous post

It is a waste of opportunity that Gold Order vehicles are nothing more than a skin of an existing vehicle. Imagine how ridiculous it would be if we have 10 of the same exact vehicle and the only difference being a skin; when they should just be skins for the single vehicle.

Gold Order Vehicles should be just like Gold Order Weapons, special and unique. I’m sure all of us are always anticipating the next Battlepass season just to see what new weapons we’ll get. Gold Order Vehicles would be lesser known , rare, prototype, experimental, or just very unique vehicles. And I find little to critique since Gold Order weapons are all rare, prototype, experimental, etc, so there should be nothing wrong with seeing rare, prototype, experimental vehicles.

Now one argument some of you will say is, “But Gold Order Vehicles give you a max level version of an existing vehicle before you unlock it in the campaign!”. I find that point moot because my Gold Vehicle suggestion basically fulfills the same idea, not to mention it’s the same exact principle of Gold Order weapons. For example, what is the W.A.R but just a slightly different B.A.R. Well you wouldn’t have to fret about having to wait til level whatever to get a certain vehicle, if for the time being you can get a Gold Order vehicle that fulfills roughly the same role. At the end of the day, Gold Order vehicles would just be yet another toy in this awesome sandbox.

Here are some examples that would be fitting Gold Order Vehicles. (Note that just like the current Gold Order vehicles are tanks and planes, under my idea there would be tank and plane Gold vehicles, I was just only looking for tanks)

United States:
M38 Wolfhound, replacement for the M8 Greyhound

M19 Multiple Gun Carriage, anti-air tank built on the M24 Chaffee chassis

Suggested something like this:

(if you like it, pls like. We might get the attention of somebody important, though unlikely)

The Hezter wouldn’t be a Gold Vehicle because it saw serious production. It will likely be a level unlock

I would rather want dev to put those vehicles as premium or event so they won’t use normal vehicles as premium or event.

The same thing can be said about Gold weapons. Gold anything are just nice treats. And I find the dev thought process behind Premium are usually Meta+ or just very unique content. For example, the Sherman Calliope. Gold things are just content that is historically rare, prototype, or over looked

I agree not every Premium choice is perfect but still. Plus I think as time has gone on the devs have been ironing out what is an ideal Premium content

I will say that I’m not entirely opposed to this idea but I just think it would be better that Gold Vehicles fill the same spot as Gold weapons. While some Premiums are rare content, I do think there is usual a general theme when it comes to choosing them. Like some Premiums may be rare vehicles, but they’re not really prototype or experimental rare if you catch my drift. Or they’re just famous. For example, I’m pretty sure the Ferdinand/ Elefant will be a Premium because it is a famous rare vehicle

Not the same, looking at current premiums vehicles, you will find most of them are just normal vehicles that are not rare. While gold order weapons and many premium weapon are rare thing.

Yeah, because most of them are just copypasted f2p vehicles from different campaigns lol.

fooking premium stug

How do you feel about Gold Weapons

Almost all of this was produced in one quantity or another, and I was talking about what was nothing more than a blueprint…

I would like the M8 greyhound in normandy.

I am rather satisfied with the gold vehicle order rewards, many skins are cool. Though I would be all for different variants of vehicles and/or vehicles with different weaponry. However I believe completely unique vehicles should be reserved for the tech tree, event rewards, and premium squadrons. Lastly I would be fully against experimental vehicles being spammed.
