Unlike many people on here I don’t believe pixonic devs are stupid. The shocktrains are a horribly broken weapon purposely released as an end game weapon for whales. I regularly see champs run at least 2 mk2 shocktrain bots get 1.5+ million damage and 10+ kills with ease. It’s utterly game breaking and they know it.
I don’t believe test server serves the function players think it does. It’s really not a test to find balance with weapons but to see how far they can push the boundaries with weapons and attach a premium. This is why all the cries of certain weapons and bots being game breaking go ignored. They know this but dev objectives are very different from players.

I thought the same thing about the event today. 2 Shocktrain's as a prize when most will want to run 3 on the bulg they win after the STs is sort of a scam too. It's definitely well designed and not something Pixonic overlooked. Nothing with Pixonic is ever as good as it appears upon first glance. Everything they do is designed to trick you out of money instead of offering a good product for a fair price.

Keeps the game going, i get stuff I want. But they aren't going to firetrucking rob me. |

But the last person I told about this game quit after buying a gep like a week before the MM changed. After that I decided it was best to just keep to myself. |

I've been banking WSP and gold, will start farming that third shocktrain for this Bulg and convert my existing Scourgasari to a Taranasari (Don't worry my beloved scourges, I'll be working on a second hangar deck soon) And sit back and smile at my 4 Dash + Zeus Fury FTP hangar! It's a gift horse, I don't give a 「dookie」 about it's teeth! |

WWith the introduction of Mk2, the plankton is allowed to have a bit DIES gear, because it won't break the dominance of wallet warriors.

It is a gift horse. An extremely healthy one. Maybe the saddle is missing but 3 out of 4 components are there for an optimal set up. 6 weeks to grind the other component to make it complete is not bad. The bulgie will serve the pilot well with tarans for the time being. The ST can be deployed on other fast bots like the rog. And yes, some will pay for the third ST.
Did pix plan it. Undoubtedly. Is it a good prize… Undoubtedly.
But I think the main objective here was to put a lid on the shocktrain issues and to provide something worth while to those who have been around and understand the game well. They rather give limited OP stuff away than change their strategy. So IMO the prize is excellent but the over arching game strategy is not. But this is a cup winning horse.

Grind one Shocktrain from WSP deals (just completed), get two more and a Bulg on top from the event...sounds fair enough considering the ridiculous buy-it-now-cost of these items.

You just need two Haechi/Bulgasaris with Shocktrains to cover the left and the right.. It's pretty much "nothing you can do but to suffer the multi hits"... Boring.
I barely play War Robots anymore, more into PUBG on PC right now. I only play War Robots to still spit some plasma on those shockers when I'm not at my PC... lol!

By the end of this event I'm going to have a shocktrain bulgasari without spending a penny... I took every shocktrain offer I could and if you wait for the sweet spot where they start to offer consecutive 710 shocktrain components like they did before, those of us waiting will benefit. I have a shocktrain on my Kumiho (that I got for halloween, and didn't buy) and soon that one along with the other free shocktrains I'll have are all going to go on my soon to be shiney new Bulgasari.

ST is just plain boring. Its useless to defend beacons, since you will be easily pushed away by a Lance.
Things look different if you have teammates in front of you..... Then it's scary.
