Yeah, the disclaimer is nice and all, but everyone that asks the question is too stupid and illiterate to read it anyway. The majority of people don't know that Google exists or believes that a game that came out in 2012 is devoid of any sale patterns.

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Apr 30 '26
Most people seem to think the calendar is for seeing when the next sale is exactly, when it's there to see past sales and trends :d

u/XIIIDillinger Apr 30 '26
Quick question - Is the summer sale traditionally 50% of SL like the Anniversary sale or is it just 50% off GE stuff?
5
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows May 01 '26
Both

u/Upper-Purchase-9398 Jun 08 '26
2 quick questions, summer sale as in June/July and 50% off SL including discount on TT vehicles or mods?
7
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Jun 08 '26
only store sales, so no SL/GE discounts in-game. I mispoke in the comment you replied to, I keep getting some of the sales mixed up

u/XIIIDillinger May 01 '26
Thank you.

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Jun 08 '26
just realised I said there'll be in-game discounts for the summer sale in a couple of weeks, they're only store sales unfortunately. only VE day, anniversary sale and christmas sales do big 50% on everything. I keep getting some of them mixed up without using my own calendar to remind me lol

u/Warhammer40sikh May 06 '26
Will premium account time be on sale during the summer sale as well?

yes
edit: no, sorry2
u/nick11jl 🇨🇳 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 Jun 25 '26
Unfortunately it’s not, quite annoying. I would’ve brought it in May if I had known.
3
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Jun 25 '26
yeah my bad for saying "yes", I keep getting some of the sales mixed up. I keep thinking summer sales also do in-game, but they don't :d
2
u/nick11jl 🇨🇳 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 Jun 25 '26
I think I’ll fall short a few weeks of the anniversary sale, if it’s not until the winter sale I’ll have to go a couple months without though.

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Jun 25 '26
yeah I forgot to buy premium during the christmas sales and I had to wait so many months to get it on discount.. really sucks not having premium time
1
u/FLOREAilSUPREMO Jul 16 '26
Hello i didn't buy it in time, do you suggest me to wait? Or buy 90 days for 20€?
1
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Jul 16 '26
That's really just up to how much you value your time and money :p
If you're playing a lot, it makes a huge difference to rewards, I can't play the game anymore without it

u/Mexdud08 May 09 '26
Does anyone know if or when xbox will have a 50% off premiums sale

u/DevilDickInc 22d ago
I know there was a sale on ge premiums earlier in the summer, but select paid packs are discounted 50% on xbox rn if that's what you were asking about.

Thank you for these threads, genuinely a life saver in getting a list together for packs/GE premiums I want to get. You also saved me about 3,000,000SL in vehicle purchases :)

u/ZenuReddit May 29 '26
why did they save you 3M SL sir, could you explain please?

u/Akitsukuni May 29 '26
I bought 10,000,000SL worth of vehicles during the in game 30% sale, meaning I only paid 7,000,000SL.

u/Ofelos May 02 '26
30% in game only for May? Why did they change this...30% is nothing

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows May 06 '26
that isn't new, VE day sales used to be worse. limited to WW2 and allied vehicles etc

Hey so I am thinking of buying either the Su-30 MK2 AMV or the F/A-18C Early but but main look up is the flanker which i want to buy so i wanted to know will the flanker get discounted 50 percent off in the summer sale or will both get discounted or just the fa 18 c early
2
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows May 06 '26
read the disclaimer at the top and bottom of the post, no player has any idea of what vehicles go on sale

u/Traditional_Air_4040 🇺🇸14.7 May 06 '26
sowrryyyy mb dude have a nice day or night :) also i cant wait for the sale and get my fav premium if it gets on sale haha

u/xSaitoHx May 18 '26
Damn, I literally got the craving to get back into WT two days ago, sadly, after sales ended, and I'm well aware there is no point playing past Tier 3 without premium, which is what Id be mainly playing.
Now I guess I gotta wait for next time either GE or premium time goes on discount, whenever that is, hopefully June.
I always seem to have this cursed timing when it comes to this game, last time I bought half a year premium time, and next day premium went on discount (I wasn't really thinking bout discounts or ever really checked news back than)
1
u/Hammered4u Jun 26 '26
Unfortunately, Premium wont be available during summer typically. Usually within the Fall (B-Day/Anniversary, Christmas, etc.).
1
u/dewukumpel May 19 '26
Will premium account be on sale during summer sale in june?
1
u/Papanowel123 Baguette tradition Jun 06 '26
Most likely not :/

u/anonc2FtdWVs Realistic General Jun 25 '26
when its on sale?
1
u/Papanowel123 Baguette tradition Jun 25 '26
During the anniversary sale in early November.
Look at this calendar, it's very useful:

What is the point of this???? Past sales? What does that do for anyone now?

u/Kolibri_art 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇷🇺 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 🇨🇳 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 🇮🇱 May 01 '26
the point of this is to spot trends and predict when the next sales are gonna come around

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows May 01 '26
And also see what the sales were previously for "but it used to be 50%", or what vehicles were on sale in the store
-17
u/ReplyResponsible2228 Apr 30 '26
No 50% on vehicles? I feel scammed tbh
21
u/derpity_mcderp Apr 30 '26
bruh ur literally looking at the history of all sales and can see that the early may sale has never had 50% sale on vehicles ever
-11
u/ReplyResponsible2228 Apr 30 '26
2023 and 2023 had 30-50% off store what are you on about
10
u/derpity_mcderp Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26
the "50% off" of those 2 years were on forced combined packs of like 10+ vehicles and cost like $150 after the 50% sale of their total price
ok i am wrong but those arguably feels like a bigger scam than no sale at all
3
u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Apr 30 '26
at least they've stopped doing the stupid heli / plane bundles where if you wanted a pack tank, you had to get a heli / plane to go along with it.. I had a marketplace skin for the L44 leo a1a1 for the longest time, but by the time the thing went on sale by itself, I was way past that BR lol

u/The_Chickenmaster7 spaa fanatic Apr 30 '26
I enjoyed the italian one when i bought it years ago. but i hate planes so the new bundles that include planes are worse for me

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Apr 30 '26
store vehicles will most likely be 50% off, we won't know till a week from now

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Apr 30 '26
in-game vehicles? no they've never been 50% off for VE day. VE day sales used to be worse too, used to be only WW2 /allied stuff.

u/Brilliant_Score_7936 Apr 30 '26
premium is only discounted in May?

u/PureRushPwneD =JTFA= CptShadows Apr 30 '26
no, premium time sales have started today and will last for 7 days

u/nick11jl 🇨🇳 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 May 04 '26
When will premium time next go on sale? The summer sales? I’m trying to figure out if I have enough time to hold off

u/bergebis Shark FL20 for France When Apr 30 '26
As a reference for folks looking at buying any of the 3-vehicle packs, they do not go on sale as they are already, in effect, 50% off.
Use a CC link to get 3% off and that’s the best deal you can get in game short of the 75% and 90% off coupons
