A list of the current issues with war thunder, I want your opinions

[House_of_Schmidt]

You certainly included a very long list.

I feel like there are relatively simple solutions that could make the game a lot better for 90% of players:

Air:

• reduce team sizes for upper tier standard Air RB.

• add a separate Air RB EC mode with 16 v 16, larger maps and respawning - like Sim EC.

Ground:

• fortify spawn points better - more cover to help avoid camping.

• reduce the spawn cost of air to air aviation assets but increase the spawn cost of air to ground aviation assets (CAS).

• add a 10% bonus to RP and SL when team tickets fall below 25% to encourage players to stay for the whole match.

There are certainly more solutions for air and ground but i feel these would be pretty simple.

i do try to play Germany and Italy, then France sometimes.

[karnitin75]

I’m trying to look at it from a overview of the game as a whole.

[karnitin75]

These things would fix some of the above.

@DerGrafVonZahl

Dumb it down even further? Hell no.

That’s why i included unintuitive, we need more straight forward controls for the average player. Not fell ream but normal controls

@DerGrafVonZahl

War Thunder at no point claimed to be historically accurate, it claimed to be realistic.

You should divide the threads by gamemode. Since the answers are very depended on what you play. Otherwise you will not be able to pin an answer post to a gamemode making it useless.

My bad, ill change it.

This is why i want opinions. So i can improve this and make this post relatable for most people here

[DerGrafVonZahl]

What would be the point?

So lets say people find the controls too complex.
Do you then make them simpler in AB or introduce mouse aim to SB (both air)?

That’s the issue.you cannot draw any meaningful conclusions from it.

Full real is needed as well, people came to WT for realism.

[karnitin75]

I’m sorry I tried to say that Full realistic should still be in the game, but that we should have a tutorial or something to set up controls for all different kinds of systems or armament options and have a manual of sorts.

But that the Base control systems should be improved for newer players, so its simple.

Too many points to address, but I’ll give some.

1. spawn camping.
   Matches are short. Maybe players can be force relocated back to spawn like going out of bounds points you back toward map.
2. map design
   Only gripe is Flanders
3. Grinding
   It’s fine. Game is meant to be pickup and play and fun at all BR.
4. tech issues
   It’s not bad overall.
5. Community toxicity
   You’re just a carebear with unrealistic expectations of players in a video game. Talking about toxicity or even using the word is to condemn the playerbase for competitive banter. Not everyone is “good” at it, and the variety of banter exists in reality for a reason. Trying to control it just makes you look like the dumbest person in existence.
6. Comm tools
   Spam filter sucks.
7. Lack of endgame
   Endgame is playing the game.
8. Weather
   More weather would be great. I love the rain.
9. In-game tutorials
   I don’t know if a tutorial can exist to cover every base that exists in this game. The game is also patched often, so info will always become obsolete. Maybe a disclaimer as to what the player is getting into would be helpful.
10. map diversity
    It’s not bad. I actually like repeating maps sometimes because it allows new strats to be tried while you are thinking of them.

Invisible missile is still issues in Jet game

Must be something with your client/machine.
I havent had ghost missiles since they fixed them a while back.

[BillyBobDa3rd]

My biggest issue with the game is one word- inconsistencies.
There are inconsistencies in most every aspect of this game. But I love it and the community too much to stop playing.
Probably my two best examples of these inconsistencies are hitboxes and volumetric

Hey, i know i have no control. I’m just saying a friendlier community wouldn’t hurt. there is nothing wrong with banter. But not when flat out calling other people the N word or so on. I have played a lot of Cod in the past with Black ops 2 there is nothing like it,

So, in short I’m just saying it would not hurt, and it goes beyond “hurtful” comments. Some go after other players and are chat banned as result as they should.

there could be intercept patterns or just flat out dogfight tutorials, so new players don’t eat dirt

its just too bad gaijin simply shrinks the play area of maps instead of changing them, so where you end up with corridor maps

[karnitin75]

I would happily jump ship if there was another game following war thunder concept, but better ofc. I would happily pay even 20-30 euro for that. But since gaijin has a monopoly on this game concept i cant. soo i make due.

[Zodicab]

Most of these are problem with every mmo lol

[BillyBobDa3rd]

Lol IDK if I’d do that I’ve put to much time and money into this game. I think that the devs can fix most if not all this stuff.

[karnitin75]

only hope we have is another player up-rise or another competitor starts to compete with war thunder. Then gaijin will probably either Die or it will be forced to improve real quick

[StickyDeccal]

I don’t want you to get offend, but all the issues is right here already: “https://community.gaijin.net/”
