Why do you always standing on the opposite side of the player?

The hull armor of the A7V is at least D armor pack + composite armor, and the Ke is at least 600+100mm

I highly doubt why they are not willing to allow the Abrams to be reinforced with armor. Isn’t this nothing more than a willingness to arbitrarily weaken American vehicles? Are you afraid that the status of Russian vehicles will be threatened?
What’s the point of a bug report if you don’t accept the evidence submitted?

Strengthen Chinese vehicles, otherwise I won’t recharge a penny
I also hope to shift the focus from updating to rebalancing. But this seems quite difficult, after all, balance cannot earn money:（
Okay, there’s no content about Chinese tanks.
What is the significance of Merkava 4’s existence, as he not only did not receive the spam liners, but also the loading time remained the slowest?

The official announcement on the website told you everything about the product. A scam is when you don’t get what was advertised.
If I sell you a normal apple for 50€ while telling you it’s just a normal apple, it’s not a scam.
Noone deceived you, noone was dishonest.
to say they have no power is wrong, they still have a line of communication with those devs, so how they portray information to them DOES in fact give them “power”
Thats why that chinese historian got booted because he was actively giving devs wrong information, while the historian is different to a CM or Mod, CMs especially should or I would expect them to have some direct communication with someone or devs themselves. thus back to my first point above.
If M829A3 wont enhance Abrams capability comparing to 829A2, why not just add 829A3 then? Anyway they have barely no difference.
If Gripen is the only one that is not at the same level as the previous 12.3 aircrafts, why not just move Gripen to 12.7 ? You can also buff Su27/J11 and move them to 12.7 at the same time, rather than nerfing Gripen.
What about Chinese MBTs ? ZTZ99A & WZ1001E & VT4A1 has way lower efficiency than Abrams, but they never get the rate of fire buffed. The laser supression system is also missing.

The thing is- as you have seen here, they did send the developers all the information we provided.
The devs just didn’t care about it.
It’s a double edged sword, at least I think so. You are correct that they are merely conveying the developer’s plans. A middle-man for sure.
The flip side to this that we have no other means to communicate our issues and or concerns to the developers. The only true way we can is to hit their bottom line. Or their public image. Which is why the review bombing in May finally brought about a change in the status quo. When developers or executives started seeing gaming news publishers highlight how the game was being handled, that was the singular thing that brought about change.
Where players are feeling frustrated at the community managers, and this is an assumption, is that we feel like that frustration isn’t being clearly communicated to the developers because how could you have this much backlash and not change course? How can you tell your players, after all the sources and effort we put into our bug reports and all the effort we put into these forums posts to bring light to what we view are issues and this is the response you come back to us with, that you are being heard. Because it doesn’t feel like it.
It tells me nothing positive. It doesn’t assure or signal to me that the community managers are actually doing anything. And that’s feels mostly true because we don’t actually know what their progress is. Are they reading every single discussion on this forum? I’d be hard pressed to believe so. Are they reading every single bug report? Again I don’t think so. Or we wouldn’t have bug reports be years old.
So we find ourselves left in the position that our one singular bridge to the developers doesn’t seem like a bridge at all.

I’ve had lists of bugs where I was the sole developer and also the sole bug tester on something, and the “bridge” was me talking to myself, and still had plenty of bugs be years old. Bugs being years old doesn’t mean anything.
I had a feeling you would turn up eventually. Genuinely. I was thinking earlier today “I just know that one development guy I chatted with will eventually make an appearance”. No ill will towards you, to clarify. I do think that given your background in software/game development and my lack of as I’ve only ever worked in customer service and transportation, we are going to disagree on some things.
This may be true for you. But to a fair chunk of us not versed in your background, it comes across differently. To us, it’s more equatable to say, telling your landlord something in your apartment isn’t working, being told to fill out a maintenance request, and it never gets fixed.

Nah overall you’re right, they’re being ridiculous here. I’m just nitpicking that “years old bugs” is not one of the reasons we know that. Them just ignoring dozens of plenty good enough sources is the reason we know that. (Which itself even might be fine, but don’t LIE about it, just explain why you want to override history for balance, if so. “We don’t BELIEVE the Abrams has new armor in the last 40 years” is utter bullshit. “We don’t CARE that the Abrams has new armor, because we think it’d be bad for the game becauze XYZ” maybe)

Ah, gotcha. Fair enough.
I really want to like this game, I really do, but the blatant disregard for anything that would make Russia look bad is just ridiculous. As soon as I saw the hull armor wasn’t going to change because “we don’t believe it was upgraded” even though there was a mountain of evidence to contrary, I decided to let go of this game. I was a so called “wallet warrior,” I’ve bought more premium vehicles than I’d like to admit, and I was ready to buy the clickbait, kvt, and M1a1 aim, I was only waiting for this issue to be resolved, but it looks like that’s not going to happen. I’ve been disappointed one too many times, and unlike the other times I’ve taken a break from this game, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

I find it funny cause it once again means the Abrams are going to remain the same thing from M1A1HC to the SEPV2. Side note I don’t consider “IF” they add A3 that an upgrade cause they just said in this post if they do add it. That they won’t be much different from A2.

Soo Abrams have one of best ammo in game but they will give them even better soon. And now it receive reload speed buff. While Leclerc still is missing his ammo and 4s reload speed. Give the F2 rounds to S2/SXXI/AZUR
It’s so funny, the opinions of the players are not important.
M1:
player: Armor! M829A3! Spall liners!(data,information)
gaijin: we think the reload can be 5s(without any information)
Leopard,99A,VT4, Ariete, Merkava and Leclerc:
player: Armor! Reload speed! Spall liners!(data,information)
gaijin:not a bug
“balance”
