Well at least this is some decent feedback even if it isn’t all good news (delays, etc).
If I could offer an add on suggestion to the expansion of the more detailed interior of the tanks is an expansion of debilitating game mechanics. For instance if a module is damaged then certain abilities are disabled until they are repaired.
For example:
Radio gets destroyed - scouting mechanic is disabled (scout) / relay of information from team mates is disabled and enemies don’t appear on mini-map (other)
Sights get hit - night vision and thermal vision is disabled
Currently only the major effects are done (turret turn, gun lift, barrel/breech cant fire, tank cant move etc)
You really do need to curb back on how often you are doing the events. I’m sure you can look at the player base as well as achievement rate to realize which are popular and which aren’t. It’s just going to lead to burn out (I for one skipped several either because RL took precedence or the vehicle wasn’t worth it).

The info is appreciated but with respect, this all could have just been a regular news article (edit: on the news site).
Do you mean we should have posted this on the website?

I do wish this was on the website.

Yes, I think people shouldn’t have to look multiple places every day on the web to find important news about their game. I’m sure you had good reason to do it this way, just saying I think it’s suboptimal.

we’ll have to delay the Research Bonuses for new nations again
It’s literally been an entire year and the only information we have gotten is that it’s delayed, delayed, delayed yet we don’t even know what this feature is going to look like, what a joke… at least tell us what this feature is going to look like so we can be disappointed with the most lackluster bit of RP increase possible in advance.

Yeah not everyone browses the forums so getting this out there to the wider audience is always a good idea.
Inside the article we have included the in-development view of what it will look like in the interface. So you can see how it will be on a preliminary level currently.
We appreciate the frustration that it’s not ready yet, but as mentioned above, it’s a high priority for our designers after the next major update.

I hope F-16C Block 50 get targeting pod with 3rd gen thermal sight & pod for second major update or third major update this year
I think gaijin could add early aircraft premium pre-order pack in rank 8 from russia or great britain

I agree.
Many people are getting desperate for dev blogs by now as usual.
Reading something about the progress on the new update right after starting the launcher would be appreciated.
But people will get to know about it either way. If they do not visit the forum often they will get to know about this post through social media.
So it is not absolutely necessary in my eyes since it is still extra work.
Also think it would be good going forward for these to be given the “Devblog” tag so they show up in the Devblog feed, both on the Website and forum.

As we’ve written this ‘personal’ and somewhat informal from a communication standpoint, we opted to do forums only as a sort of “prelude” or casual style to what’s to come.
As I mentioned in the post, regular articles are planned to come as usual. We plan to have a Roadmap news article on the website about the separation of Battle Ratings for different gamemodes coming, plus also mentioning again that Research Bonuses for new nations is delayed.
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

I don’t know how difficult it is to give a discount to research and SL for same/copy paste vehicles in another nation. But oh well.
However, I hope to see discounts to researching modules for these same/copy paste vehicles and infact all vehicles, especially high ranks from rank 4 and above. Because the module itself costs in 10s of thousands to research and it is not a good gaming experience.
X-ray damage models for certain vehicles aren’t accurate, example, the swept wings x-ray model, and ATGM folding, radar folding x-ray damage models. Please make them accurate. There’s a report of this.
Tornado has a swept mechanism lever inside the cockpit that indicates a number and degree, in this case 25* - and max degree. But its reversed, at 25* the wings swept back and at max number of the lever the wings return to straight position, kindly fix this aswell. There’s a report of this.
Last but not least, there are maps in the game that I’ve almost never seen in many years. I used to at a time see these maps in the regular MM years ago. Example naval maps, Pacific maps, maps with carriers, Norway, Landing on Hokkaido, Red Desert etc etc. Many of these maps show a BR range where they are played. But I would like a reform to this and allow every map a chance in the match maker. It should not be a BR range where its possible to get these maps.
Carrier based maps are also non-existent even if I play those BR. And naval jets are kinda worthless without carriers ya know… so kindly make these maps appear more often.

The next vehicle event is coming soon, and I know many are expecting a naval vehicle for this one. However, it will be a ground vehicle and it’s one I’m personally looking forward to.
Setting eyes on the future, after the ground vehicle event finishes, there’ll be about a month break until the next one begins, as mentioned would happen in the FAQ here . Then a naval vehicle will be joining us.
Obviously D-Day related but whats more interesting for me, did you make changes to the events or just let them run in the same bad manner we saw so far?
@magazine2 Will the PUMA also receive the new modules?
We can try for the next ones yeah. We’ve also added the news to the WT launcher with a link to this forum thread.

Actual good update? Good shit, when do we get adjusted BRs for aircraft in GRB though?

Again I appreciate the information. I just think it’s a little fake when you write something in your name in the first person, as if you wrote it entirely (“I’m very excited…”, etc.), but on the other-language forums there’s the same post with a different CM’s name on it, also in the first person, (who also says “I’m very excited” about the same thing) for instance here: link
