Bug Reporting Managers not doing their job/abusing power

Good day everyone,

Sorry about the rant, but this is ridiculous. I just had half a dozen bug reports closed as “not a bug” by the same Bug Reporting Manager at the same time with VERY invalid reasons.

T-72s missing commander’s cupola armor - T-72 series missing commander’s copula armor // Gaijin.net // Issues
Closed with the reason of “Not a bug Report”. Keep in mind, I showed the in game model being flat and missing the hatch 3D effect it should have with actual photos of the hatch AND explained how borated poly (a doped plastic) holds no armor protection effect in real life (I PERSONALLY have worked with it in the nuclear field). Where else is this supposed to be reported at?

AiM 7F tracking issues - AiM 7F broken and attempts to track targets nowhere near radar // Gaijin.net // Issues
Closed with the reason of “Unfortunately you have not included all necessary data. Without it, it is impossible to resolve the issue. If you’ll encounter the issue again, please make a new report. The report should include description of the issue, steps to reproduce, unedited screenshots made by game, log and replay file. Screenshot should be made during the bug or immediately after it occurs.” Not only did I include unedited screenshots showing the radar scope and how the missile tracked a target that was NEVER within the radar scan, I included the game log

ATGM not fusing - ATGM not actually fusing even though it hit and should have // Gaijin.net // Issues HOPEFULLY this is fixed by now but they FINALLY decided to look at a bug report a year later. Sadly, since it’s an old version, the link means nada but come on, how am I supposed to “steps to recreate” when it’s “I shoot target with ATGM, ATGM flies through target on the server replay, no fusing”

And then, my latest bug report. I FINALLY found the reason as to why the AH-1G/Tzefa A/Tzefa B sights are bugged out. The pilot sight locks onto the chin turret “zero azimuth” position, as if the pilot has control. Not only is that against doctrine, you would have to MANUALLY adjust the sights to that versus having them established for the FFAR. I also found that the AH-1G/Tzefa A camera model is in the neck area while the Tzefa B is at actual head level, creating a difference in the M37 reflex sight view AND a hard shift in the sight if you carry an underwing pod/20mm, which is the ONLY way currently to get a sight that would be accurate for the FFAR pods. The original is AH-1G/Tzefa A/Tzefa B pilot gun sight missing FFAR sight // Gaijin.net // Issues and I just RECREATED THE SAME POST because it instantly got locked at AH-1G/Tzefa A/Tzefa B pilot gun sight missing FFAR sight // Gaijin.net // Issues.

This is simply unacceptable and clearly showing a bug reporting mod not wanting to deal with the hassle of running these up. There’s other bug reports and it’s ALL almost the same response and instantly closed with no ability to respond, even when the reason holds to validity as a response.

Anybody else having the same issues with bug reports or did I just get snailed as per usual?

EDIT (ADDITION): Oh, my favorite of bug reporting how clouds are one way mirrors when comparing ground POV to air POV ( Clouds act like one way mirrors when comparing player POV // Gaijin.net // Issues). I’m sorry… what? Do I need to SPECIFICALLY say “Spawn in ground battles, spawn in plane, compare POV from ground to air”? What is this?

Suggestion passed for consideration = wait 5 years for nothing to happen

Also true. I reported the Tzefa A having the cockpit supporting hydraulic bar bugged out over 6 months ago. Another person reported it yesterday and INSTANTLY accepted. Same thing happened when I reported the laser guided munition bug that they fixed recently. I reported it with video evidence ( Laser guided munition tracking issue // Gaijin.net // Issues) about a month before the bug report that got accepted. Mine was never even looked at.

I’ve made two posts, one which was a recurring problem ignored by mods, and another that’s very visually displeasing. Worst part is these have hyperlinks to videos of both on my Bug Report posting channel…

These are very minor spaghetti code fixes, and really shouldn’t take that long…

Not even joking, I just responded to that post XD But seriously, this is annoying. I just had to create a THIRD bug report on the Cobra pilot gun sights because my second one was INSTANTLY locked even though I had the TM included stating that the gunsight is for podded guns and the rockets with the chin turret is a backup mode

Just heads up, if you can, make sure to download the game file and add it that way. When the next update drops, those links will be useless.


2 years still not fixed :/


3 years ago and bug still in game i closed because no point
and made new bug report

another bug still happen to this day with decals

bug reporting is really awful experiences it takes long time to get answers if you get a answer and bug report mangers don’t answer pms at all and why do i have to pm them in first place?

that’s why i stopped bug reporting i see no point of bug reporting only if you work with snail maybe you lucky to see your bug seen.
it’s really not nice ignoring people trying to help with fixing bugs in game.

and bug reports just ignored with no answer or updates at all it’s been like this for a while.

other videos games when i bug report i get updates from devs / bug report mangers in 2 to 4 days but war thunder nothing

Oh lovely, I just got banned “You have been banned in War Thunder until Mar 15, 2026 9:00 AM
You are no longer allowed to perform any actions due to community rules violation.”

I must have pissed them off XD

In game? That’s rough.

Banned???
for bug reporting???

About to check. Probably seeing how I also called out an in-game Moderator for making up rules. Reported it to the MOD team and I got told to just deal with it, even though I had contacted Gaijin support about it and they stated as I was within the TOS.

EDIT: Okay, it’s just in the bug report system

Probably because of things like this. I called them out on the double standards of bug reports being accepted or “not a bug report”. T-72 series missing commander’s copula armor // Gaijin.net // Issues

AHHHH, Found it.

AH-1G/Tzefa A/Tzefa B pilot gun sight missing FFAR sight // Gaijin.net // Issues

So at the end of a match, there’s the “save replay” button. Do that and then select the said game files when making a bug report. Sadly, you have to do a live match and specify the time when you show the bug.

how is this a reason to ban it’s not a bad word or in a insult 😭

umm?

Probably because I called them out on not actually clicking on the link to go to the TM and actually read it or to search the title name on their own to avoid a virus. Welcome to Gaijin. Been playing this game since 2013 and the team just manages to keep getting worse. Don’t forget, they literally just called us all too stupid to be able to play other game modes.

EDIT: Also, that just means I called them out and was right seeing how it states “publicly discussing the actions of the administration” xD

Oh, they changed their response now.

Wow… seriously? So we added THREE helicopters with no understanding how the M37 Reflex Sight? Ya know, a gyroscopic gunsight from the 50s? This has to be either Ai or someone that has no idea how ANY military equipment works. Not to mention, IT’S IN THE LINKED TECH MANUAL.

personally i don’t think that’s a good reason to ban someone that’s abuse of power we are humans it’s natural thing we Judge each other opinion as long there is no insults or bad word said.
i just hope gajin hear the feedback and improve the bug report and how bug reporting is being handle it.

that’s another reason to avoid bug reporting for me.

Oh don’t worry, I just had to edit my last comment. Check THAT out
