Hello everyone!
There is the unspoken issue that gold orders in general are not as attractive as they could be. I want to briefly explain on what the problems are and how I would improve it in a simple way:
-
Gold vehicle orders are >mostly< just skins and basically worthless since you are supposed to be inside the vehicle and not outside. In the end everyone profits from a nice expensive skin except you. Also with tank customisation (see Stalingrad) gold vehicle orders are getting worthless once tank customisation is avaiable in every campaign.
-
Gold soldiers orders are just normal soldiers with an nice medal next to their name, in the end they work excatly like any other soldier but only have the advantage of not being a one/two star soldier.
-
Gold weapon orders are the only orders that are partly attractive . They provide you with a unique weapon! But not every weapon is an good one. There are good ones like the Suomi and there are not so good ones. Its fair to say that everyone has a different opinion on specific ones. But overall I would say that there are less good ones than bad ones.
Now why should we farm/spend gold orders or actual gold on these ? They are simply not attractive enough. The solution is really really simple! Using any gold order content should provide us with extra XP like premium Squads!
- Killing enemies with an gold order weapon should provide us with +100% XP.
- Doing soldier things with an gold order soldier should provide us with +100% XP.
- Using an gold order vehicle should provide us with +100% XP.
The additional +100% would also stack with other XP boost sources (booster/premium).
Considering that there arent many gold order options (especially for beginners), the XP boost would not be a huge advantage over non gold order users, but it would make them definitley more attractive than before. Especially for players that dont have an premium account or many premium squads!

This… is actually not a bad idea. I’d say tone down the EXP boost into 25% or 50%. But gold orders would definitely be more attractive and lucrative this way.

Anything below 100% would be attractive too, no doubt! But I am convinced that the additional XP would be too low for players who might only have a single gold order avaiable.

Everything is fine expect for vehicles having +100%. Make that +20% extra instead and you go yourself a good idea.

unique rank V soldier? I think that he would really be worthy and unique if the rank 5 soldiers get own voice lines 
It would be really worthy if the game had more VOs in the first place. I am sick of hearing the same lines over and over again.

While i agree with the xp buff, I don’t agree with your reasonning.
Vehicle orders are attaractive to people starting a new campaign, as they can get top tier vehicles at lvl1.
Yes, soldier orders are useless.
As for weapons, there’s more good than bad ones.
Not counting the mostly meh new silenced stuff, there’s like what, 2 or 3 bad guns?
“Kopfschuss - haha!”
“tochna v golovo”
literally just a single headshot voice line, my head explodes (not just because of the heashot, the voice lines haha)
You are literally describing a bug as an feature.
I think for the most people vehicle gold order is primarily a way to get a fully upgraded tank or plane, without wasting hundreds of bronze orders on it. So yea, for that part I do believe you’re quite wrong. Bronze weapon orders is the most valuable resource currently, any way to save a bit is great.
What bug?
The vehicles? That’s a feature as far as Gaijin is concerned.
How come?
I’m always short of soldier bronze since I keep upgrading soldiers to rank V because that vitality, stamina, shell reloading really make a difference.
Upgrading weapons looks like an end-game nice-to-have to me.
There is a bug where players can use gold vehicles that are usually locked for higher levels/T2 tankers on literally level 1 tank squads.
Hmmm.
Still you have things like the T50, which is a lvl29 umlock you can use in the lvl1 squad, so the premium version is also usable there. So if that’s what you’re reffering to, then it’s intended. Don’t know much about the other squads. But if it’s a bug, report it.
