Haswell 294 Posted December 7, 2021 https://aw.my.games/en/news/general/development-assigning-premium-vehicles-dealers Quote Commanders! Armored Warfare features two types of vehicles – regular progression vehicles available for Experience and Credits, and Premium vehicles (with increased Credit income) that are available for Gold or by other means. These other means include: Battle Paths (example: Object 195) Raids (example: T-72M1) Blueprint Loot Crates (example: Armata 152) Contracts (example: TAM 2IP) Events (example: M60A3 SLEP) Direct Sales (example: M1A1 AIM) Battalion activities (Hades series) However, Armored Warfare currently has a problem you’ve been asking about for a while now. The Premium vehicles that are not available directly in the game for Gold are not assigned to any particular dealer, which means they cannot be used for various in-game missions that feature dealer requirements (these typically appear during Raids or Battle Paths). In one of future updates, we want to remedy this situation and will therefore be assigning the previously dealer-less Premium vehicles to specific dealers as follows: List of Vehicles (Click to Open) Sorted by Tier, descending order.

They will retain their status; the only major change is that they will become available for missions with dealer requirements. Do you feel some of these vehicles belong to other dealers? Let us know on Discord. We’re open to your feedback! Please note: While the abovementioned vehicles will be associated with a specific dealer, they will not appear in that dealer’s tech tree It will be possible to filter these vehicles out using standard Dealer filters in your Garage, but we’ll also add a new filter option for this specific Premium vehicle type These vehicles will not work for dealer-specific achievements And last but not least, let us discuss the new icon made specifically for the abovementioned vehicles as well as some changes to the existing vehicle class logic. Vehicle icon now consists of the following elements: Class symbol (silver for progression, golden for Premium vehicles) Golden laurel wreath for fully unlocked vehicles (automatically assigned to Premium vehicles) Silver star for Premium vehicles that are not available for Gold within the tech tree (eg. the abovementioned list) As such, a fully unlocked progression vehicle will feature a silver class symbol with a wreath. A vehicle available for Gold within the tech tree will feature a golden class symbol with a wreath and these special Premium vehicles not available for Gold will feature all three symbols together (golden class symbol, wreath and the silver star). We hope that you’ll find this change to your liking and, as always: This could actually be a good change, if they actually do exactly what they said here and nothing more or less. But you know, can we even trust them to not screw this up after all the hidden changes in 0.37 and 0.38? 2 Quote Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qbicle 97 Posted December 7, 2021 The English article misses one particular detail: Sabra Mk 2 will fall under Sol Schreiber. This can be confirmed on the Russian article. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knutliott 41 Posted December 7, 2021 Nit pick - it's odd that the icon signifier for this new type of Premium vehicles is a Silver Star. Everything else about that same vehicle's icon will be gold, so shouldn't the signifier be gold also? But yeah, this is a nice change. Also odd that they'd go to the extra trouble to prevent these vehicles from completing dealer-specific achievements. I guess I'm sort of assuming that doing that required extra work, and I'm not sure it really matters so why bother? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Random guess: Assigning a vehicle to a dealer is just changing a flag in the database for each vehicle. Making them functional for dealer achievements needs actual fiddling with the code for the achievements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfnce 28 Posted December 8, 2021 I see many "premium offer" gaps in vehicles classes and now not all vendors got fair treatment. Each vendor should have its own premium tier 10 per each class. This should boost both the sale of premium tanks and the production of new ones. That is only reason imo how they justified this change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you'd think that the code for achievements would just check the flag in the database, so no fiddling with it should be necessary unless you want it to not automatically work based on the db flag.
