I love how everyone is making up an excuse rather than just answering. XD
“Please activate windows before asking me to do anything.”

This one might be among the stupidest.
You meant to say. “They make tiny and fragile tanks near invisible and big tanks that are hull down in a field cannot be spotted when scanning the area.”
It is pay 2 win and a bad form of pay 2 win if it is time gated. Crew skills and squadron vehicles are not time gated.
I can start researching both now and if I quit the game for 9 years the progress is still there.
Or a squadron research styled unlock
…It has a weak spot…?
They could if they wanted to.
And define, doing next to nothing.
Idk, but the guy I replied said that bushes made him unable to shoot vulnerable spots on the Su-122-54.
It’s a completely ridiculous excuse. If he is actually very skilled, the bushes won’t have any effect since they neither change the location of weakspot nor add extra armor to the tank.

Definition: these ARE Next To Nothing.
Fact: 1. The cannon can’t be covered by bushes. 2. The bushes won’t block the shells. If you have already identified the tank, the bushes shouldn’t make you miss your weakspot shot.
You complain that bushes make you unable to identify the tank? Well, it’s NOT your right to identify every spotted tank. And even without bushes, some tanks are already hard to be distinguished in some cases (for example shermans) Finally there are weakspots available for all tanks, for example cannon breach in higher tiers.
Bushes really don’t affect the gameplay that much and they even make the game more fun. I guess you guys just want a gameplay which everyone use the same tank and same Lvl 150 crew, yeah comletely Balanced, Fair, and boring.
meanwhile me using bushes to break up my tanks outline
Ah right, because requiring inherent knowledge of weakspot location relative to other features of the tank opposed to not needing that is not a blatant advantage.
Or being able to identify or not identify the enemy tank is not a blatant advantage.
Hello, currently, bushes can be obtained free of charge in the “warbonds” store every 1 to 3 Battle Passes.
The bushes are in a level V chest, unlockable with 5 special objectives completed and 2200 warbonds.
With the current Battle Pass (Season XVI “Skilled Marksman”), these are unfortunately not bushes, but road signs!
The previous Battle Pass (Season XV, “Northern King”), it was bushes, I had won a pile of straw.
For Season XVII, we’ll see whether we’ll have a chest of bushes or a chest of helmets.
Out of those pictures, only the first one would be hard to spot. The other two would be very easily picked out even at distance.
Today, simply shooting your opponent (shells or heavy machine-gun bullets) blows up most of these 3D decorations, including the bushes.

From a distance it’s just a blurred mess and it still an advantage to have these bushes, having to identify that second tank from 400m away is not easy and the Maus is obviously always a Maus but it matters where on the turret you hit it.

Yes, I love having to alert the tanks I want to shoot by spraying them with MGs first and wait for the bushes to fall off if I somehow manage to hit their shitty hitbox and then I can shoot it, that surely sounds like a fool proof plan, assuming of course you have MGs on your vehicle, which tons of vehicles do not.

That is under the assumption that you have SPOTTED the enemy already. If an enemy could easily be spotted, then the bushes would not be a problem.
That’s the point of camouflage: to avoid detection.

Still, it should be grindable like squadron vehicles or ace crews (that is something you can make slow progress towards whenever you play, even if it’s an absurd grind. Seriously, make it a 200 or 400 hour grind per tier or per vehicle to unlock a single bush and I’m happy), rather than time-gated to a specific battlepass that needs level 57 to access (and 5500 warbonds which I think you cannot obtain in a single BP cycle. I’ve been working on getting the aigle this BP and at level 37 I couldnt afford the 2700 warbond cost and needed to grind to level 48 for another 850 warbonds). It’s the time gated aspect that really bothers me because some people have really weird schedules like me where they have zero free time for a month or two, then WFH & chill for a month or two and repeat.

It’s fun to see some guys shouting “Unbalanced”, “Unfair advantage” in the thread for a whole year, while Game Masters and Community Helpers try to explain how this mechanic is balanced and not P2W ^^
Game mechanics haters always found to be like this.
