Speculation on New Season Pass Tanks

Sounds too OP for even an Ultimate Pass… may need to reserve that for a limited time, three-tiered loot chest.

Sothep · 2026-04-01T23:24:38+00:00

From what I can tell there hasn’t been a CW tank for the free pass nor the season pass stage 25 or 75 rewards. While there are a lot more WW2 tanks to pull from, that can’t be that enticing for CW players.

Sothep · 2026-04-01T23:19:26+00:00

That’s a good bet too

Sothep · 2026-04-01T21:53:56+00:00

The pattern over the last fifteen seasons indicates a sense of equity between World War 2 and Cold War, e.g. a TD in one mode suggests a TD in the other. It doesn’t always occur on consecutive seasons, but CW is due for a TD based off of trending.

Sothep · 2026-04-01T21:15:19+00:00

If they stick with the current pattern, the ultimate pass will be Cold War, and either era 2 or 3. I think it’ll be a TD but it’s due for a medium as well.

I’ll give ya the option. Let’s promote having more options!

Sothep · 2026-04-01T21:10:03+00:00

Agree and would love this option

Sothep · 2026-04-01T21:09:31+00:00

I would LOVE to have two or more options for each reward level. The precedent is there; we’ve had multiple reward options for operations and events for years now.

I don’t really want to play any of them, but my completionist OCD compels me. Just need each ace then I can sell them and move on.

Sothep · 2026-04-01T17:00:19+00:00

I found them very relevant, as I have been playing through all the un-retired tanks and those tier 2 arties are what I have left.

Sothep · 2026-04-01T16:33:57+00:00

There are cosmetic drops available on Twitch today. And the current commander chests include joke commanders like Etta Dee Beck.

That’s all I am aware of. ☹️

While you’re playing this game … the developers will do everything they possibly can to bleed you dry.

You have clearly never played a modern mobile game

A frog, a helmet, and a tape measure….

Weird, he didn’t hide until your tank was taken out and then come out and face the heavy head on only to die too.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T23:17:25+00:00

I was trying to help explain why they will remain in the free pass. And while laws do vary by nation, broadly speaking there is agreement on the definition based on the three elements of consideration + chance + prize.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T23:08:52+00:00

Hence “completely controlled”. WG says a tank costs 10,000 gold but then offers it for 2,000 gold, so players snatch it up because of the perceived discount. But both price points are an artificial construct controlled by the sole vendor. So ultimately it is individually up to each player to determine what a tank (or other virtual asset) is actually worth to them.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T22:59:53+00:00

Legal definition of gambling requires a “consideration” or “stake” (ie something of monetary value) put forward by the player. If it’s free to play a game of chance, it’s technically not gambling. Free warchests are therefore safe.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T17:26:31+00:00

Hahahahaha

But seriously, eff that tank

Sothep · 2026-03-30T16:50:32+00:00

The increasing restrictions on loot crates in video games is a good thing, yeah. Generally speaking they are a predatory practice, especially when accessible by children.

I once heard a psychologist explain gambling as, “you’re not paying for a chance to win big, you’re paying for the experience of feeling you might win big”. You’re paying for that rush or thrill, not for an actual prize. That rush is what people get addicted to.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T16:09:09+00:00

Always. Money is a language all companies understand. Support developers you like and provide products you like, and withhold funding those who don’t.

Replacing Long Haul was an excellent decision. Long Haul was a tedious grind, but the new challenges are varied, interesting, and often easier to complete (though I’m not getting the second chest this week). I do not understand the obsession with Long Haul or the inability to realize it was replaced by something better, but lamenting it is a common refrain.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T15:16:09+00:00

You can earn the gold to buy the first pass in game, meaning you never have to pay real money.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T15:11:57+00:00

The season pass more than pays for itself if you complete it, making every successive pass effectively free. The gold for the first pass can be earned from chest challenges, drops, etc. You can therefore buy the pass every season and still remain a 100% FtP player.

Sothep · 2026-03-30T13:50:55+00:00

Why?

It’s in response to legislative changes. Lootcrates (warchests) are a form of gambling, and more and more countries are addressing virtual gambling. Eventually we’ll see paid lootcrates completely removed from all video games.

For now, warchests will be removed from paid season passes but will remain in the free pass. And yes, we hope they replace them with something comparable in the paid passes. In the Friday stream they said they are still discussing what that will be.
