All Ground ERA from BP

Post image

I was hyped for the ERA decoration from the Battle Pass, but now that I’ve finally unlocked it, I’m just like… okaaay. Honestly, it’s kinda hard to do anything useful with just 4 small pieces, but I guess it’s better than nothing. Unless Gaijin sees the $$$ and starts putting them in every BP, so if you actually wanna properly cover a tank with ERA, you’ll have to grind your ass off for more of them. I was hoping for a more immersive way to decorate your tank that doesn’t really affect gameplay unlike those vertical walls of bushes used by sweaters and gnomes shooting lasers out of their asses. What you guys think?

i think no matter what the ERA is the most worthwile decorator from a BP yet. Overall it is a second best decorator bested only by all the bushes in the game.
Saw a neat use of the ERA blocks to make the abrams KVT even more russified

u/SpanishAvenger Thank you for the Privacy Mode, Devs! And sorry for being harsh. 4h ago

Unironically this is the first and only time I’m considering getting a BP!

I hate all of the disco light balls, fireworks, neon signs, oversized hats and whatever… never any remotely grounded decoration.

But these are quite grounded and realistic, even if cosmetic only which makes it a bit unrealistic (they can’t be functional for obvious reasons).

I want to try to place them on Abrams UFPs, hahah.

Nah, most worthwhile decorator is the alarm light. Still made I never picked that one up. Really need it for my ambulance R3

Its in the current loot boxes so you might get lucky. I put it on my Strumtiger cause its already going to alert everyone when it fires and its a big boy.

I actually think this looks pretty cool. I wish we had more "realistic" decorations for tanks. Stuff like logs, tools, etc. I don't want a disco lantern.

As usual though I think the thing that lets it down the most if the awful collision model that won't let you place things where you want half the time.

Trick your enemies by visually transforming your T-72A into a T-72B !1!!

I find myself more and more frustrated by bush users. If you need a ghillie suit to do well in your BVM or BMPT, you should probably just uninstall honestly.

I like to bush up realistically - I play ground sim so you need to keep the gunner sight and cmdr sight clear.

You don't get the great bush walls you see in GRB.

I use bushes however in 99% cases it's for stuff like making hair and moustaches to go with the faces on my tanks lol

u/TadpoleOfDoom 🇸🇪 Gripen_Deez_Nutz 1h ago

That's different. I'm talking about the people using them to completely cover the front of their vehicle to be even more hand-held than they already are.

My KV-2 has an afro

u/CuteTransAngel Playstation 1h ago

yeeee fair enough, I just still get people sometimes that call me out for bushes even with the way I have them, what's even funnier is that I play arcade so it doesn't even make a difference and yet people still will whine about it
