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

Why didn’t you mention the issue with the Helicopter PvE game mode, which was ruined by the addition of helicopters with fire-and-forget missiles? Will anything be done about this?

The mode is now dominated by helicopters with fire-and-forget missiles, and everyone else is left fighting over whatever scraps remain.

Spoiler

Are we really going to pretend there’s no issue with the Helicopter PvE game mode?

If they want to spawn in their premium Leo2 they have 5 daily free backups to do so. having the opportunity to spawn in a random vehicle from the tec tree will not only allow players to preview what they are grinding for but also brings down the monotony of playing this game.

Just because you have infinite money to throw at war thunder doesnt mean that everyone else should or even can (buying a singular premium is already a big investment). People have other stuff to do as well…

Seems the “raf isnt OP French players are just better” argument didn’t hold much water once they lost their OP missile…

good change and a better direction then the damage control changes… hopefully we will also see the horrid damage model of Yamato addressed too

hopefully Japan will finely get a usable SPAA past the Type 87…

legit, like what the hell is that kinda argument?

How exactly will it work? Will the vehicle be stock or spaded? Will we be able to change camo/ammo loadout? Will we see what we spawn before we spawn or only once we spawn in?

Will Random vehichles contribute to the research? A free SPAA definitly will be handy as usually that is the one branch of the tree which always get left behind for me

my point is, there is no imagineable way that the DB-LK would be the “experimental bomber” because it barely is any different from what we already have.

“It’s a bomber that plays more like a fighter” - Vautour and the Ar 196
“It’s two planes fuzed into one with gunners on each side” - Pe-8 and TB-3.

The naval random spawns contribute to research. I don’t see why the ground one would be different.

I know it would be a stretch to ask, but can we get a possible hint of what “experimental bomber” it is? The answer doesn’t have to be clear (can be pretty vague), i just want to have something to go of.

Not repeating maps… okay.
But please also give me the option to disable the onecap maps, i really hate them.

And abozt the random additional tank to spawn, why only 9.3 and above? Whats the reason for that? Make it for all BRs!

And hoe big is the randomness? Will i get a random SPAA wiesel to fight the tanks?
Is the random tank of the same nation or just complete random?

Will there be a penalty if the players ignore the respawn?

What does the player get to use the random tank?

Can the random be a premium?

Is the random tank aced?

What level is the crew of the random tank?

Can the random tank be a tank i have but not taken in the lineup?

Without any more infos this sounds lile smt that barely makes a difference, if its a random half stock lower br tank, that dosnt give me any xp on my other tanks, then why the hell should i spawn in it? Its still more efficient to grind as one spawn. So that wont do anything. Espacially not at 9.3+ where people really often just think of grinding.

It’s not possible to “fully fix” one death leavers and we do not want to punish players just for leaving a battle. However, we can add things to help those who only leave after one death due to only having one ground vehicle, as we’re doing here and as we did in the previous major with 5 free backups.

What do you think is poor about this new addition? Please expand on your thoughts.

Random vehicles have lost the meaning of climbing the technology tree, especially random SPAAs, because there are not many SPAAs and BRs scattered, some BRs are almost the same SPAA, and players have completely lost the meaning of climbing the SPAA tree,

You forget that a lot of people go straight down 2, maybe 3 lines, completely ignoring the SPAA line. This addition will only be beneficial to the game

I did that for Israel, saved myself a good million RP in the long run, good thing I did since I can just spawn a SPYDER lol

even PARS 3 become garbage because the missile only works from less than 7 km. While the other can spam it from more than 10km

Like honestly. How many grind elitists are in this forum who don’t want a system that actively makes the grind less tedious / important

So I lost the meaning of climbing the technology tree. Since I randomly used this SPAA, why should I climb the SPAA tree? This harms the interests of players climbing SPAA trees

Aka you would rather take a 1 spawn Leo 2 player with a Wirbelwind as a backup than this… okay whatever dude
