CM Covert Disclosures No.2: Keeping You Updated!

Is it possible for top tier to put them into their own bubble so planes without ARH missiles don’t face them. Getting spammed by ARH missiles is really annoying and for planes with only SARH missils its really impossible to do a 1v1 or even a 1 v (More players) cuz the teams are somehow useless.

this was a great post. thank you for sharing this with us and giving a bit more clarity on a feature many of us have been eagerly awaiting.

Nice new profile features and damage models. I hope the bonuses for new nations will give some oportunity to grind faster new units for veteran players, otherwise will be unfair. I think players who dedicate more time and effort to the game need to be reward.

agreed I really wish even vehicles would be available for GE later like maybe a year or 2 after an event. be a good way for gaijin to make more money too.

Yeap, good for gaijin and good for players. Nice sugestion bro!

Thanks Oxy, these updates are very much appreciated!

 

As someone who would prefer no time-locked, missable content in the game whatsoever (I realize that’s an ideal, not a realistic wish) this seems quite reasonable to me. I didn’t go unnoticed that after the low-tier tank slot was removed from the BPs, we suddenly got an influx of low-tier tanks in the regular tech tree over the next few months. The rest of the vehicle selection has been pretty solid and reasonable too. :)

 

This all sounds very good, and while I realize the “most affected” vehicles are being covered first (helis, high-tier tanks) I do hope it comes to regular aircraft and lower-tier stuff in the future.

One major element that would help here would be to make aircraft weapons damageable. It’s very odd that weapon damage is such a core part of the ground/naval gameplay loop, yet it’s literally impossible to knock out aircraft (including heli) weapons; putting a 20mm shell right through a P-47’s quad .50s does… absolutely nothing to them. This is especially odd as they’re already modelled as modules.

Enabling this would help with air/ground interactions, and would add something to air combat that really should have always been there.

 

Examples like this are a great way to emphasize these things to the wider community. :)

Just split up the matchmaking up, so FOX-3 capable aircraft can only be matched against other FOX-3 capable aircraft. There is no point in letting them fight aircraft that aren’t capable of carrying that kind of missile.

This.

No Gaijin, SL crates aren’t a good system for that.

Exactly. SL crates are predatory, bad, greedy, and overall an awful system.

I have no problem with SL crates themselves tbh, but them being the only source for old event vehicles is absolutely disgusting

Yeah that’s the bigger issue.

As IT technician its issue I’m all too familiar with. However, when it comes to WT bug reports, they often feel like they fall on deaf ears, stuck as “open” without hint of Gaijin activity, or are slapped as “acknowledged”, with not much else happening. That doesn’t really encourage to do bug reports when snail gonna snail anyway.

Does this mean we could see events with old event vehicles returning or Re-Run Battle passes? to get old vehicles?

I’m pretty sure they can’t be sued for that. Not like that got sued when the event lootboxes came out

This is a lot of good stuff, love that we got some transparency, in my opinion the game is heading a really good direction, I’m really excited for things to come this year since Pandora’s box has been opened which means some of my favourite aircraft have been added, keep up the good work!

Literally could not care less. I would be offended if Gaijin made any decision to protect the feefees of people who held on to vehicle coupons for future value. Do what’s best for the game, if people see it coming and sell, good for them, if not… sucks to be you.

(I say this as a player with my own small collection of coupons I haven’t cashed in yet, same rule applies to me.)

I’d say this about the GE crates (which also recently were used to hand out old vehicles) more than the SL ones.

There’s not enough to spend SL on now for a lot of players without some cash sinks, if you’re not crazy enough to buy SL with real money SL crates alone do no real damage, you can always make more through play. Agreed it shouldn’t be the only way to get old vehicles though, it’s not fair to a lot of people on consoles or countries with gambling laws.

If it were up to me everything would be turned into somehow GE-purchaseable eventually after a certain time, even the marketplace vehicles. (I also think they should bring the vehicle coupon boxes purchasable through warbonds back and increase the vehicle coupons you can get through the update crates occasionally. And tweak up the “blueprint” chance on huge daily login prizes and make it cover any vehicle not covered by one of the above.)

If at least they had a 1% probability, or something, it would be different…

But nope, they were like 0,001%, if I recall correctly.

I have inly got 1 vehicle from those, after several hundreds of millions of SL over the course of multiple years.

On the topic of stats. Will we ever get a place to view all of our medals. We win games and get a large pile of medals for assists, captures, killstreaks, etc but they all disappear into the void never to be seen again. It would be neat if we can see all our medals and even arrange them by the most acquired. Maybe something like how Battlefield displays medals achieved ?
