Thank you! Nothing too complicated, reasonable rewards, no specific grind required - I'd say it's a nicely balanced chain

I cannot promise Tier 10 aircraft missions, but we definitely have some rewards up our sleeves  More details will follow soon! 

Wow, that was soon.

The question is: how much will the "Advanced Operation"-bundle cost?

[UNFAIR_GAME_8]

we cant play the "Advanced Operations" if we dont pay ? realy ? hhhhhh

[Horcan]

2 million PP in less than a month is way too much to even consider attempting it for a few pilots, so ill stick to my 1 game/day  quota. 

As for the "battle pass", really not interested in a game that seems to have no future in development other than new planes every now and then.

Agree - it is a pretty tough deal.

 

Some math applied to back that up (with myself as an example):

The event start today and runs for 25 days.

I play an average of 9 battles/day, and my average pp is around 8500 (probably rising but it's still the average, currently).

 

Now: if I continue to play/perform strictly according to those numbers, it means I'll get 9*8500 = 76500 pp/day, and for the duration of the event (25 days) it will sum up to 1912500 pp in total.

 

...so if I really, really wanted all pilots, I'd have to continue to perform as I do now (no losing streaks), without a break (must meet ze quøta, or else...) and above tier 3 (very rarely play below 4, so thats really the smallest challenge)...

...and I would still end up approx. 100k pp short...

 

 

With all this in mind, I still think it's a nice event, and will most certainly go for some of the pilots.

But I'm also pretty sure I might not get all of them.

 

[GonerNL]

Yeah, you have to pick one or two crews you would like to have and concentrate on those.

 

I would have liked it if WG had chosen for 5 separate missions in the "Advanced" operations, not one bundle. Same story, it's almost impossible with a normal life to get al 5 crews. I would have paid €5 or €10  for 1 or 2 separate missions, but not €27 when I know that I will only complete two.

 

All players who purchase the "Advanced Operations" bundle, will be able to also complete the Personal battle missions at the same time.

 

That's 4.000.000 pp in a bit over 3 weeks  ... makes you wonder what happened with WG's sense of reality. Most of us are still working, I guess

Missions work simultaneously. So if you start both Advanced Operations and Personal Score at the same time, it's 2kk Personal Points, as you'll progress towards both chains of missions. Also, Advanced Operations are on till 1 June.

JFYI:

 

When I use SAAB J21RB currently on USSR side, the points DO NOT COUNT for the missions (both "Personal Score" and "Advanced Operations"). That is kinda sad.

Yeah I noticed that some time ago while doing another nations-related mission. The pilot can be Japanese, Russian, English or whatever you like, but the plane will still stay Swedish, Polish, Israeli or Czech.

[Frantiszek_]

I did all the missions - all nationalities, but I didn't have any message about the crew as a reward. I have a lot of crews and maybe I just can't see anything added. There should be a message that you have won the crew as a reward.

 

[Vladinir_Shotitov]

I just checked my barracks, Frantiszek_ - all the crews are in there.  As you say, a notification would've been helpful but this is WG.

Well, a crew (or 5 crews) with 5 unused skill points should stick out in your barracks ...  if not, you probably don't need them anyway.

[apartclassic]

 

That's pretty sloppy, blindfold... Indeed there is no other notification of receiving the crew - you get this as a completion mark, and that's it.

[theOneWithaChatBan]

wow I have played enough games that I have most of the pilots at that skill level already 

or are they looking for gold to enlarge barracks

[Marcellus_Hungaricus]

So this is our main event for Spring I guess...
I hope I can retrain the US crews into the Superfortress before Christmas...

It's not even mentioned in the mission in-game ; just what you have to do and with what ... no mention of prize.

Probably just rehashing existing code, descriptions would need coding ...  ?

This same for me: - description:

Earn 400,000 personal points by piloting the required aircraft, the mission can be completed only once.

I'm sorry, but what is the issue particularly? Yes, there's no notification, your pilots arrive straight to the barracks. All mission requirements and rewards are also listed in the news article.
