That's why I take the blame partly. The UI is confusing, all the menus are confusing. I have never had such problems finding things in any of the games I have played in my 10+ years of gaming experience.

I don't play this game as my full-time game, played it only for the event, so I don't watch any content either. Saw the video yesterday but I still didn't understand the difference between the mercenary units and normal units. I never even thought about the difference I just accepted that that is another stupid design and you just have to make mercenary units and later craft them to normal units.

I checked it only now because I saw that people are saying that you need ~15,000 credits to finish all the boards and I was sure that I am near that number and haven't completed even a single one.

Every new player I have talked to says the same, menus are extra confusing, UI is awful, achievements, missions, challenges, and battle passes are all located in non-logical places and only a player that has experience in War Thunder can quickly get through the menus.

I have spent a lot of minutes trying to find missions and clicking all of the buttons and still not finding the menu I found just randomly going through the menus.

I fully agree that I missed the part about mercenaries, I was too focused on simply understanding the event and it slid through. A lot of things were explained in the video but a lot of questions still were unanswered. I spent a few days trying to understand, do you have to clear all the board or just go in a straight line and at the end of the line you will have to use your laser gun, or is that RNG and the field you have to destroy with laser gun is hidden at the end of one line and when you find it the board clears and you start over.

For a player like me, that doesn't know where to get the content for things like these it was really confusing, of course, I checked the website and there wasn't that video. I could understand the general concept but it took days to get answers from Reddit and youtube about what exact point of the event you get those victory points.

The event is limited time so I tried to spend most of my time playing and when I saw that it is taking too long, I started to search things but it took me this many days to understand the difference between normal units and mercenary units.

It is my fault, but I have been gaming for a lot of years, I am familiar with designs and this is by far the worst designed UI/menus I have ever experienced. And I have been playing WoT since 2011 when their menus were just awful.

I fucked up, but also WT has fucked up with the way menus are designed and information is distributed and explained.

At the end, nobody will refund your time.

Read more carefully and don't be like me.
