Can we have a feature where you don't have to fight a certain country?

Currently, I mainly play Ground Arcade Battles and Air Simulator Battles. In ground battles, I don’t want to encounter Japanese tanks or the BMPT. Many cheaters exploit Japanese tanks due to their fast reload speed, and as for the BMPT—well, I probably don’t need to explain why. In air battles, I don’t want to face the Su-30SM2. The SM2 can guide R-27ER missiles at me while maintaining a perpendicular angle to my aircraft (by locking, launching, breaking lock to let the missile coast close, then re-locking so my RWR doesn’t detect the missile launch). I can defeat it, but flying a century-old aircraft against a jet that only entered service in recent years just feels psychologically uncomfortable…

We have that feature ingame. Its called “Play that country”

would be nice, which is why it won’t be added. I had a game once that was just Germany vs US, pure bliss. You’d probably get longer queue times tho, and russian mains would complain when everyone bans them so it wouldn’t make it fun for the whole playerbase. What annoys me more is that top tier air battles are pretty much just US and Russia vs US and Russia with a few minor nations on the side, u should never have the same countries making up the bulk of most teams

sounds like a reality check. Most players play 3 main nations, and almost none play top tier air germany as it offers nothing. So it sounds only natural.

There can easily be US vs Russia games, rather than both on either side

they were for some time, but ig they added a mixed battles to make somewhat balanced games? Tho it really does not matter as they would meet same enemies either way as minors now have both side planes.

Hello

Unfortunately this would not be possible. This would have a massively negative impact on queue times that would be detrimental to all players as well as open to exploitation from people who simply dont want to fight a spesific vehicle(s) at a given BR or mode.

A key part of War Thunder is the vehicle combat and how that varies, along with the skills you develop fighting different vehicle types and variants.
