I think it’s something to do with the Japanese and anime communities and trying to attract them to the game, such as the G&P ((Girls und Panzer)) crowd. Gaijin didn’t do G&P because War Gaming already did I assume, so they made their own. It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to make their own anime similar to G&P in the future based on the characters to pull even more attention to it, maybe even a “spin off” of G&P given they get permission.

I understand their reasoning; the other tank game did it and it worked out well for them, and considering how little effort it really takes; and the money they could make, why not in their eyes? - However, with War Thunder pushing more towards realism it does feel a bit awkward.

If I had it my way, I’d want Gaijin to increase the age rating of the game and add full on CoD: World at War levels of gibbing for exposed crews hit by HE, but it’ll never happen. The game is rated 13+ and in theory, it could be argued this is aimed at the younger players cause cartoons. However weeb know that’s not the case.

I fully agree with this, Gaijin is definitely doing it to try and attract a bigger userbase.

I also wish WT had WaW levels of gibbing. If I sent a 88mm HE Shell into a Su-57 the crew shouldn’t just vanish.
I assume they did this initially for foreign censorship laws (namely China) but also probably because:
Gaijin is lazy
The Servers couldn’t handle the load from simulating all those pieces.

Is it super slow? if so I can probably manage, I’ve played a lot of T-72s and T-90s,

TES-RB? It sucks in Realistic Battles.

Jokes aside, I’d like the game to be a higher rating; as they would be allowed to get away with a lot more content wise if it were. Lets be honest, a 120mm APFSDS to the face is gonna do a lot more than make the gunner unconscious. I mean, technically he is unconscious, but I think that’s the least of his issues.

The testing and development CR2 is/was named Megatron, All the best pictures of the OES kit are of Megatron so I guess gaijin named the ingame tank after it during development

I’ll probably be fine, I know the general gist of the Chally 2s

Poor Acceleration, decent armor, but a big weak spot on the LFP.

3227

Hahaha buddy think Maus level mobility without the armour.

CR2 is far slower than every other top tier tank.
It turns slower than any other top tier tank
It peeks really slow compared to a T-90 it is like a Maus
