but this is super important to me, and I am finding conflicting
answers, so I wanted to create a single page to ask this
specifically. I'm a relative noob, just passing 5k
battles. That in mind, as I'm still developing my tech tree,
I have a handful of vehicles that are being "collectored" that I
haven't acquired yet. Edit: it won't let me add an attachment
yet, unfortunately (first post). The question: The
early plans for 1.9 said: "Any owned tanks in your garage, to be
removed, research the later vehicle." I understood that, for
example, I BUY the Churchill GC, and when this launches, I get the
AT-7 researched for free, instead of grinding the previous AT
line. The Mar23 info from WG and the sandbox
community alludes to you need only research the
collector's tank, in this example, I needn't BUY (only research)
the Church GC to get the AT-7 researched for free. I've seen
people's sandbox examples (Jagdpanther II) that imply this to be
the case. Unfortunately, when you and your neighbors are all
quarantined at home in a rural area with limited internet,
downloading the additional instance is out of the question!
Do you only need to research (not buy) the "collector's" tanks to
get the following vehicles also researched? If it was just a
single tank I would just buy it, but given the number of vehicles
involved, garage size, and funds available, this is not
possible. For me, I have researched or bought the following
pairs (first one to get second researched): As you can see,
I've been preparing for this since it was announced long ago, and
have 17 vehicles ready for the change. T82 HMC to M41 HMC, T40 to
Wolverine, T67 to Hellcat; Pz Sfl IVc for Nashorn, VK 30.01D for VK
30.02D; T-50 (elited, but MT-25 added since) to MT-25, KV-13 to
A-44 and preceding A-43?); SU-14-1 to SU-14-2; Birch to
Bishop, Alecto for AT 2, Church GC for AT 7 (will AT 8 be
researched also?), Archer for Achilles; Somua S35 to SAu 40,
AMX 105 AM to AMX 13 AM; Ke-Ho to Chi-Nu; I've done many,
many searches in this forum over the years, and it has been a great
resource. I really appreciate any info that would affect my
prep. Thank you! KRZYBooP: You don't have to buy the tanks with credits.
The Here is some helpful information concerning your
questions about the collector's tanks. More information about this
can be found HERE Collectors' Vehicles Relocating
Mechanics
If a vehicle up to and including Tier VIII has been relocated to the Collectors' Vehicles tab, then the vehicle of the next Tier (+1) and all tanks of lower Tiers will be automatically researched*. This applies regardless of whether you purchased it or not.
All blueprint fragments of unresearched vehicles will be converted into the equivalent number of universal and national ones, according to each vehicle’s tier. For example, a blueprint of a Tier IV vehicle will be compensated with 1 national and 4 universal blueprint fragments.
If you have already researched the relocated Tier IX−X vehicles (the 113, the Т-62А, the AMX 30 B, or the AMX 30 1er prototype), you can purchase them in the Collector’s Vehicles tab any time after Update 1.9 goes live, regardless of whether you have researched any other Tier IX−X tanks.
Example: You have only researched two Tier IX–X tanks of the French nation, the AMX 30 1er prototype and the AMX 30 B. After the update is released, you can purchase them at any time in the Collectors' Vehicles tab, even though you have only researched other vehicles up to Tier VIII in the French branch.
All players who were approaching the three Tier X vehicles (the 113, AMX 30 B, and T-62A), but hadn’t researched them, and stopped at the Tier IX vehicles (the WZ-111 model 1-4, AMX 30 1er prototype, and T-54), and also hadn’t researched any Tier X vehicles, will gain access to the Tier X tanks of these nations in the Collectors' Vehicles tab after the update goes live.
All players who were approaching to the Tier IX tank (the AMX 30 1er prototype), but hadn’t researched it, and stopped at the Tier VIII tank (the Bat.-Châtillon 12 t), and also hadn’t researched any Tier IX vehicles, will gain access to the Tier IX tanks (+ 1 Tier) of the French nation in the Collectors' Vehicles tab, after the update goes live.
Since we have many tanks in the Tech Tree, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, in the case of Tier I British vehicles, only a new Tier I British tank will be researched. Tier II Japanese vehicles will be unlocked along with their modules. There are also some other exceptions we'll share with you during the upcoming Common Test.
The compensation rules will come into force the day Update 1.9 hits the live servers. The above types of compensation may not be available during the Common Tests of Update 1.9. We will inform you in advance of their availability as soon as we get all the details.
Compensation F.A.Q.
I researched the T-62A through the T-54 and didn’t unlock it until today. I still have some XP on this tank. What will happen to it?
If you have a Tier X tank in the Soviet branch, wait until the update is released. After that, you can get the T-62A without spending XP and purchase it for credits at the price of a regular Tier X tank.
If there are no Tier X tanks researched in your Soviet Tech Tree, you can spend this XP to research the Object 140 and automatically unlock the T-62A.
If you already have the Object 140, the T-54 will gain Elite status, and you can dispose of the XP gained on it at your discretion.
This example applies to any collectible vehicle. You can get the vehicle you are interested in even if you didn’t have time to research it immediately after the release of the update without spending XP on researching it.Can a new player purchase Tier X Collectors' Vehicles?
No, because in order to gain access to Tier X Collectors' Vehicles, you must research a Tier X tank in the tree of the respective nation. Obviously, in this case, you can hardly be considered a novice.Let's say I researched the Jagdpanther II before March 23, but the next vehicle, the Jagdtiger, has not yet been unlocked. What will happen next?
If you already have the Jagdpanther II in your Garage, it will still stay there. If not, you can purchase it in the in-game store, in the Collectors’ Vehicles tab. In this case, the Jagdtiger will be researched automatically.Will there be restrictions on playing in the Collectors' Vehicles in some modes, tournaments or game events?
