Sure, and that’s also perfectly ok, and I’m not opposed to it at all. = )
What my point is, is that I’d love to see Devs improve functionality and gameplay aspects, instead of just adding visual improvements.
Maybe I’m a bit too bitter about this because of the disappointment the addition of the new modern airfields was: They said it includes new lighting, even developed with feedback from real pilots, which sparked the hope they’d actually introduce working glideslope lights. Instead they merely added taxiway lighting and improved runway lighting.
Later they said they proudly proclaimed that they’d also add GCA radars to the airfields - but also here just as decorative element with no functionality.

So why write that essay that does - I think - not even mention AoT? And then call us nooblets?
In general I still don’t see why AoT is discussed in the WT sim section…
That is the price of TLDR

The game you want is not War Thunder. You want something niche and gatekept and for that you will need a game that isn’t free to play. From the start war thunder would never have become what you wanted it to, even if gaijin had stuck to their “old friends”
Also
I feels yah and we all deserve to be bitter about it.
I mean, we’re talking Gaijin here-a company that years ago announced that it’s Simulator strike & bomber aircraft would never get cockpits leaving pilots with that goofy, unobstructed God’s Eye View© from Realistic.
The playerbase pressured Gaijin until they created those pitiful cardboard cutout ‘placeholder’ cockpits we have today. Too bad the old forum was deleted because the fights were legendary.
“windsock”…PFFFFFTT! : )
Ok boomer
Wtf is a mmmmmmmimmmmmimmmmm? And what does it have to do with Warthunder?
Sim is the only game mode that I have ever seen anyone get banned from for playing the game against other players because enough people complained about having to fight non-incompetent opposition.
Joining the game on the enemy team too often ruins the game for the “real” sim players; i.e people who call themselves zomber hunters and have 5+:1 KDs and 80+% win rates.
Waifu body pillows have literally nothing to do with sims decline.
Sim pilots are the thinnest skinned group of players in the game. When I first started the game from Air RB, I was derided for having a bad kill to death ratio, not having the same amount of time as long time players, and called a tourist. The “best” squadron even told their members to follow me from game to game with a large group of people to force me to quit the game.
Fast forward 2 years later and the same squadron is now mass reporting myself and my friends to game masters because we play the game against them and dying in the video game ruins their fun.
This is the same squadron / group of players that purposely formed to dominate lobbies by playing as a team and made a squadron event off of farming noobs on purpose to make them angry. In the past if you got spawn camped by them or didn’t want to play against a big coordinated team…you just needed to “get good” and join a team. However it’s foul play when those roles are reversed and a bannable offense if reported enough.
So what’s the long term result? The rewards are crap because of exploiters. So the only reason to play the mode is for the enjoyment of it.
But also the game mode is only enjoyable to experienced players if they get to farm novices. So novices get farmed to the point they never become experienced players because the game mode is almost deliberately hostile to them. Then the reduction in novices to farm also causes experienced players to have to fight each other…except that ruins the fun because they can no longer do as well…so they also quit. Repeat until the game mode dies.
There are entire sections of the game that are de-facto dead due to this. Middle tier jets is especially obvious if you ever attempt to play them. Saber vs MiG-15 and similar might seem like a fun matchup…guess what happens if you play that tier? It’s all bomber players with tail gunners and the one guy doing PvP will be in the most broken handheld vehicle for the BR like Ariete, Sag 2, Sea Vixen, Su-11 etc with some stupidly high kill to death ratio. And you might expect this means they are really good at the game? Guess what happens when you kill them with an inferior plane? They immediately quit the game. The whole.entire range is essentially predicated on farming the easiest kills possible in the form of AI and AFK bomber players.
To make a long story short; sim players were bums two years ago. They are still bums today. Nothing has changed.

“But it encourages realistic flying!!”
“If you die once per two kills, just leave the lobby.”
(that bloody reddit post lives rent free in my head…)(… and the people defending the sim economy encouraging afking over the airfield after getting 1 kill. Ho 229 costing 17.3k to spawn with 19.8k max reward without premium is fine - just dont die!!))
(also p2w mechanics don’t exist, didn’t you know? Crew skills make no difference. P2W premiums are actually f2p because event grind and golden lions from tournaments and…)
/rant off.

Ah the forum . . . an endless source of mirth
Wow . . . I can see you are quite trumatized
heh heh . . AdelWolf was hunting you down . .hah hah
You should have stopped running and challenged him to a 1 vs 1
Don’t know if he is still around . . he was a fun guy
I been around since the closed beta . . . joined up in SIM when I got my head tracking working
I never had anybody chase me around or try to get me to quit
got invited and joined a couple squads, had a blast, met some nice guys
mostly flew solo . . . never had a problem
Never abused a mechanic
Well the f4 rocket thing . . but that was just to prove a point
Only hurt myself . .then the game just lost its luster
In fact the only people who ever tried to chase me off and get me to quit
were the forum mods when I spoke about the exploitation and abuse
open canopy in a jet + a sound mod . . who would have thought of that
Well each to his own
for good now?
Oh for sure
Wouldn’t want to disturb the PVE environment and break the immersion
Gamemaster
Amazing.
For open canopy, that’s still an obsessive thing (or was). It made me read the F4U corsair manual where it explicitly reminds pilots to pls close the canopy before diving because it’s only rated to like 550 km/h. But apparently open canopy kills pilots. (it’s not like i even could benefit from it seeing 109s cant open canopy and the f4u-4 has pervect visibility, just the principle frustrates me).
The issue is that War Thunder was what a lot of us wanted at the start even with its room for improvement, but instead they’ve gone down a path that no one likes.
SB is a half dead buggy mess with blatant in your face bugs that the devs clearly have no interest in fixing.
RB players constantly complain that they’re bored of the game as they’ve been playing the same game modes since the game’s release.
Maybe the Arcade players might be happy? I think they’ve been the quietest of the bunch.
Nobody is happy here.
I agree but i dont think this guy will ever be happy even if they fix the game to most peoples standards
