May discounts!

okay its good that we get the premium slot but can you remove the squad type limiter for example vehicle and infantry it affects the premium slot (remove it for premium slot)

I almost pulled that one today too. It may still happen.

I eyeballed the su76 as well but am unsure how effective it may be.

Can anybody confirm whether discounts normally show up on the Microsoft store or not? I’m considering purchasing some other squads instead with gold if the others aren’t going to be discounted and need to decide how much gold to buy. I’d hate to drop $63.99 on gold just to have the other squads show up on discount when I’ve already blown my budget. Thanks!

Finally, I can get my 10 slots back!

I hope you all consider bringing back old squads pre-merge so that the new players from Steam can have a chance to get them too.

The Microsoft Store is treated like a bastard child of the sales. Any sale that needs to run through the Microsoft Store never happens at the same time as the ā€œmainā€ sale, usually doesn’t happen at all, but DOES sometimes happen. The problem is that the developers do not promote the timing of the XBox store sales, so you just have to either keep checking or put all of the things you would like on your wish list and go check every time the XBox notifies you that something has gone on sale.

When I see one, I always post in here to share it since official announcements are rare

You’ll have to check and will probably have to keep checking. The 506th ā€œFilthy Thirteenā€ paratroopers went on sale 3 times in the gaijin store in the back half of 2023 before they finally went on sale in the XBox Store over Christmas/New Years. The sales will occur. The trouble is predicting when they will occur and whether you think it is worth the wait.

still $37.45aud

Oh, you don’t get that thing for it’s efficiency. The only advantage it has, is it’s small. It has no defense mg, and is open top. As a comparison, the Semonvente is better (as it’s closed, at least).

But it’s funny, and cute.

I bought every slot for every army already :grimacing: oh wells lmao

  • Hurricane MK IV
    that 40mm is a rework from Devs worth, it destroys Pz2 with 1 shot and near zero damage to other Airplanes and a Mob Infantry. I destroyed a Pumas wheels thats it.
  • Breda 88
    3x 100kg Bombs for BR2 are always welcome
  • BF110 6
    i could already destroy few tanks with that 30mm Gun on BR 2
  • Tz-45
    BR3 but worth it before its gone
  • SU 76
    I really did one shot on every tank on testfield, biggest Surprise of all!!!
  • Winchester G30M
    Never can have enough Engineers but it should be BR1 really bad gun
  • A.C.I tank
    well its like the Matilda, not good but have style
  • 3 last missed Squad Slots

few things i would buy too but BR3 is not worth much attemption… cause facing BR5

I would buy the Sdfkz 251 and M3A1 too but no discount on PlayStation… sad

I wonder if it’s the reason there’s so many German paratroopers in br 5. And playing against Germany has become a nightmare. I guess I am late to the party. Time to suffer against Germany.

I looked at the planes.
For USA there are Mosquito and Hurricane IV.

Mosquito is beautiful, good bombs but no rear gunner.
Only 2 bombs that drop simultaneously so only 1 pass.
It’s big, heavy and slow, an easy target for the enemy.
No thanks.

Slow Hurricane IV with 40mm cannon that does little or no damage in practice.
All I acchieved with it was hitting engire fires.
And only 30 rounds. No thanks.

For Germany a Bf110 C6 is available.
I already have 3 Bf110s and there are 2 more in the BP.
Do I need so many versions of the same plane?
And this one is armed very poorly.
No thanks.

The FW190 D9 seems nice.
8x50kg bombs must be fun but difficult to take out BR5 tanks.
And the skin is boring, if it had the skin of the 190 D12 from the BP I might consider it.
It flies easily to 2km altitude so thats good.
But speed sucks, max is supposed to be 700 but cruising speed is like 500.
Thats bad for BR5.
So again, no thanks.

Unfortunately no cool new planes available for me, not premium not BP.

Hey that 40mm Gun from Hurricane MK IV is really weak right?
I dont know what i’m doing wrong, ok it really one shots Pz2 but thats it…
I does believe its HE only Ammo but Hell there was a Mob of Infantry atleast 10 Guys and i only killed 1 with that 7,7mm.

Then i clearly hitted a Stuka and did also get the kill with that 7,7.
Is that 40mm only for flex?
Skill Issue?

its AP. Few things to keep in mind when trying to kill tanks.

  • Come from the side of the map (attack tanks in the side)
  • there is no gun convergence…aim slightly high and to the left or right to hit with 40mms
  • wrecks all tanks you will see up to BR 3 (just got to hit true)

Just wanted to mention, that US paras (506th) parachute regiment, have very limited cammo options beyond the M42 paratrooper cammo in the outfit menu, others just being tone camo changes.

With the sale, they seem to be getting alot of play; so some outfit improvements would be nice to see:

Importantly theres nothing for winter uniform in bulge map or other spec ops feel for these iconic troops

Potentially adding the ā€œPathfinderā€ darkened cammo outfit for the early drop special ops feel?

And maybe a winterized tan green variant for Bulge map

this would be very nice if i had uh…money, or gold really. can somebody give a bit to me? just like maybe 5 pieces of enlisted gold just to upgrade my m38a

Nice deals! But some of the current prices for these premium squads are still a bit too much. I don’t know what is the pricing structure in other countries. But here in India I can buy a AAA game at almost half this price during the Steam sale. I am only enticed by the premium sale for a year. But as a dedicated F2P player since 2021 I have grinded almost all the things which I wanted to in this game. Still a nice deal for someone who is interested.
