A TANK SO RARE IT CRASHED THE MARKETPLACE - Object 279

The Gaijin Marketplace is a funny thing. The Object 279 is one of the most expensive vehicles on the market but for a few days prices plummeted even though it's the most expensive thing you can obtain...
Turns out, players were selling their expensive coupons to buy loot boxes to try and get an upgrade. That... was a HUGE mistake.
So, today... I wanted to play the Object 279 with it's MASSIVE 130mm cannon and ridiculous armour profile to just go have some fun in War Thunder! :)

Gaijin confirmed that the Object 279 has a 0.0001% chance of dropping from those crates. You have a higher chance of winning a large sum of money at any casino than winning this tank lmao.

Yeah, law force them to do so, its around 7% i believe.

No it is 0.01% but still better chances to win a lottery

@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Kek, isn't it funny that real, legally regulated gambling - while unfair, is still at least somewhat reasonable... But "legal" "game mechanics" are so rigged against you that you have a better shot of landing on the moon than winning a prize?

[@sharkao2686]

Yup the 279 cannot die to bombs probably only BIG bombs like the FAB-5000 or the new one, or with AGM but its still hard since you need to hit the hatches on top of the turret, in SQB its a nightmare since if you dont kill it with tanks is basically over.

The prices crashing isn't because of people selling them to buy SL to buy crates. Its because you can get those vehicles from the SL crate and no matter how rare a few people are going to get them. Many of those people having only spent like 1m SL on it and seeing they can sell it to a buy order for 200+ GJN just dump it. Which tanks the price.

[@stephenallen4635]

Yeah so it wasn't people selling their stash was just the extra supply the crates created

[@monkeyinapanzer]

Getting this thing was one of the dumbest warthunder experiences of my life. It was during one of the crafting events that I had zero interest in so I was just selling off parts from it and buying keys to unbox crates. Wound up getting a KV-1E to drop which I had zero interest in and happened to sell within a reasonable ballpark range of the object 279. I think in total I spend probably around 15-20 actual dollars on the 279 at most with the rest financed off the KV-1E.
