Community Update No.9: It’s The End of the Year!

interesting vehicles for all nations? hard to believe, since so many times some countries just get disappointing updates…

Yep

yeah, it was on the leaks. Its going to be a premium - a good educated guess

Glad to see that you´re taking a look at the issue of no lineups/one vehicle lineups that are plaguing higher tiers at the moment.

However, this is in my opinion a terrible way to go about it.
The people who play without lineups, will continue to do so, and this will only end up worsening the issue by inflating the disparity between the teams.

The new players without a lineups spawning a “free” vehicle of a lower BR will end up only feeding the opposing team even more spawn points.

The “simpler” solution for this would be to enable a mode/matchmaking option to queue with and against people with at least 3 (preferably 4) vehicles of the designated bracket (or if the nation doesn´t have enough for that lineup, .3 differentiated).

This would allow people who want more balanced/back-and-forth matches to have that option.
As losing/winning games in the first minute or two because one team was made up of 1-hit lineups or people with reserves + one heli or aircraft of the tier in their lineups is a waste of time and frustrating for everyone involved.

This on top of the previous change where lineups were gutted with the spawn point split for CAS (with helis excluded, which again in my opinion was a terrible choice).

Don´t get me wrong, top tier CAS needed to be balanced, especially the 38MTs and HAMMERs, but this should´ve been done via for example removing the SP reduction from scouting (and instead adding increased SL + RP rewards to it to keep them relevant).

The way it was done just gutted a significant part of the game with lineup building.

This on top of the new AAs being very easy to use, and effective on top of being in a separate SP point pool of their own. Someone being able to go 0-3 and still afford a top tier SAM for 70-90SP (and a backup if they did anything/didn´t die in one shot) that can very, very effectively with nominal player input counter aircrafts that cost 8-10x the amount of SP is hilariously imbalanced.
(AAs should be included in the general SP pool to keep some semblance of risk/reward to spawn choices, but I understand this may be a controversial opinion).

Will we see the Turkish tech or sub tree? said in 2022 that we will add Turkish vehicles in the future. We haven’t seen any Turkish vehicles for 3 years?

please do, I hate getting port Novorossiysk battle mode every second battle. I only count the following maps that I kept playing on
Sweden, Abandon Factory, port Novorossiysk and Colonge

So this update is looking to be Rafale dominance and J-10C depending on how they model the PL-15, and 400k bomboclat rp for a new Euro radar?

Atleast its not for the F15C golden eagle lolol

Always wondered how this rule worked, exactly, and how many dislikes it took. A lot of people believed their dislikes had no effect at all. (Even though Gaijin said dislikes had no effect and likes did).

I suspect I’ve been gaming this on NRB by disliking all conquest maps. With the number of real players in a match often so low, it would appear even my one vote was having a visible effect on map selection. This would explain why.

We explain why in the text :D

Both of them are not gonna shine as long as the amraams are doodoo, but at least the Euro has a turbo goated FM, so you got a point.

Random vehicles and SPAA destroyed the War Thunder, rendering it meaningless to climb trees

Hey! For the TOP SECRET pack at least, we’ll see what we can do - will let you know if I get more information.

You realise there are tens of thousands of players at any one time and you think this could be applied for a handfull of maps? The queue times would be forever.

Some good sounding updates in here… looking forward to seeing them in action (especially the Naval ones)

Lockheed Martin P-791?

Bartini Beriev VVA-14?

Miles M.39B Libellula (fighter and bomber)?

Santa?
