If bushes are purely cosmetic, why not let us have an option to hide them if we want? I can say I got plenty of hours in War Thunder, and I can confirm bushes are an annoyance quite often, I believe many other players think the same.
It’d be nice not only for bushes, but also for other unrealistic stuff such as those anime pillows, I understand others may enjoy and like it, but some players prefer immersion. By simply allowing us to hide certain things nobody would suffer.
Well most people who have justified their use mentioned they are cosmetic, because any “good player” would always be able to identify the vehicle even if it’s covered with bushes.
If they actually give some advantage to the user (which I believe they definitely do) it can be considered pay to win.
If bushes were cheaper like .50$ per Bush then it would be more worth it to get them.
Just if you play a king tiger or panther you are a demon if you put bushes on your tank.
every once in a while they show up in a dedicated crate for warbond shop, ive gotten a couple of those but dont use them because the bushes make tanks ugly
I love putting appropriate bushes on my forest camos and sitting in the forest. Its useless to do on snow or desert camos imo but yeah. I paid to camouflage my tank, my tank will be camouflaged
Never seen those, I don’t really dive into the Warbond shop much except for backups and boosters. I can’t currently find it, but I’d bet they’re high in the shop level and cost a kidney in warbonds.
I feel the same, I bought a pair of bushes a lot of years ago but they’re simply ugly, look like plastic.
So it does give an advantage to the player that can afford to put money in the game. What happens with others who may not share the same point of view? Why are we forced to cope with something barely anyone likes? If bushes and other sorts of 3D camouflage were easier to obtain and they weren’t placed in such absurd ways I’d like it more, but with the current state in game the only I can wish for is a hide option (just like with unrealistic skins).
Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate those who attempt to do it realistically (back when I used them I avoided covering periscopes, for example), but the bare fact that they’re behind a paywall (even if you have the small chance of obtaining them in a crate) is unacceptable.
These ones, lol a few years ago when gaijin removed the 6 pack bushes i remember contacting them and saying id be willing to pay up to 100usd if they gave it to my account.
Absolutely it does, the same way the TAM 2ip was the same br as the regular TAM at 8.7 for a very very long time despite having better round and armor, i refused to buy it and complained to anyone who would listen but it all went on deaf ears because it was a premuim that people bought alot back then. Or the t55am1 when it was 8.3, the same br as the t55a despite being 100 times better.
Dont come and start talking about advantages you can get in a free to play game if you spend money. Its a useless argument, the game works by selling things that alure people, who in their right mind would spend money on camouflage cosmetics if other players could turn it off?
