Object 279 price tag is absurd on the current BR it's standing on.

[ospholis]

Lets not forget that this tank is:
-vulnerable to HEAT-FS, ATGMs and APFSDS (very common to see on 9.0)
-the pen of his aphecbc is at most effective range just 365mm meanwhile the tanks at its BR (also 10.0 which will get 100% uptiered) just totally fold it 4 times.
-no coaxial turret leaving it vulnerable to heli rushes and low flying jets
-volumetrics

can i get a REAL reason why this thing is 650GJN meanwhile other effective vehicles such as the vilkas or anything else from 10.0/9.x are cheap as hell?
(greedy players doesnt count (also gaijin shenenigans doesnt count either))

Remember the IS-7 and E-100 last I saw when it was still if ever available was at GJN1000

[Shyue Chou]

If the player wants to sell it at that price, it is his prerogative. Every one wants the best price for whatever they are selling.

[Illusionyary]

The market prices are player controlled. It's ridiculously expensive because it was OP, it's rare and there's not many on there now. The event was also hell and it looks cool.

The Vilkas is a new vehicle with thousands available, from a fairly easy event, thus lower prices.

While I have not had much success in my Object 279 I would not sell it at any price

The fact that you made this thread is in itself the reason for its pricetag.

There was a video posted on the War Thunder forums of someone buying the last IS-7 for $2000.

Bong's P-38, a litteral reskin went for 2000 GJN coins before the loot crates simply because it was only available in th earliest days of War Thunder.

Similiar to the AMX Surblinde. It's not OP in any way, it's just that it's a reward from world war mode which makes it absolutely rare as ♥♥♥♥.

And your Object 279 was locked behind playing War Thunder for 8 hours a day 11 days straight. Add that and its popularity and you have one of the priciest vehicles in game

I don't recall the Object 279 requiring 8 hours per day for 11 days. It was a crafting event where you got parts based on points with an actual limit on how many you could get per day. And you could play any mode/BR you wanted (with event vehicles) So I actually got the Object 279 playing naval. (with a 2.2 modifier)
I'm not certain but I might have gotten more then one vehicle from that event.

Not for naval with 2.2 modifier LOL

You received parts for every 10 minutes you spent in battle with over 50% activity. That is how hard this event was.

650? ooo I might just sell mine

I'm not certain but I might have gotten more then one vehicle from that event.

The object 279 was still one of th old crafting events with crates dropping once every 10 minutes

So in theory for the 40 chests per day you would need to play matches for a total of 400 minutes or almost 7 hours and since this day i do not know wether they counted total time or only active time whoch would be another crash for grinding the event

There was no modifier for naval iirc

It was possible to get more then 1 chest (awards since it was not chests) at a time. You could get up to 3 (1 for being first on your team,) 1 with 7 to 9 parts for 10 minutes above 50% and 1 fuel and oxidizer for every 10 minutes. Naval battles can last up to 60 minutes So a single naval battle could earn you 40 or more parts it was parts per day not chests I don't think i ever played 7 hours in a single day. And it was time in battle. So a single 30 minute battle could get you 21-27 parts
In any case I found it one of the most fun and easy to do events. I didn't know the object 279 would be anything special
I may never have gotten 400 parts in a single day but then you didn't need that many. The issue was certain parts were more rare then others so I had to wait more then one day to build a stage because I had many of one part and none of another but you didn't need to make 11 space craft
I only got the Object 279 since to get the other prizes you had to trade parts from the 279

why play with some tnak u gotta spend irl money on due to its rarity instead of using a free rare tank that u barely see in battles cause they suck ass, like swingfire
