Not really… Germany military is still quite a joke right now, their news had reported most of their tank is not operational 😅

THEN WE NEED TO GET IT BACK
just because it is gone does not mean that we need to get comfortable with bad and unrealistic MM
Old axis vs allies style MM was good. Simple as.
Go figure. America got what they wanted at long last: the German military being inoperable and reliant on American weaponry. Truman must be so glad.
Ever heard of World War 2?
USA teaming with USSR to beat the hell out of germany is more or less what happened during the Race to Berlin.
Sweden, if we treat it as Finland, also make perfect sense in such a context.
Well, America wasn’t beating up Germans in Berlin, and Russians weren’t fighting in Flanders with France and Britain.
With Lend-leae in mind, seeing T-34s and Shermans side by side doesn’t sound implausible.
There were plenty of P40s, P47, P39s/P63s and Spitfires on the Eastern Front as well. Especially spitfires.

I disagree with having an axis v allies / bluefor v redfor mm it’s better to keep it in sim battles since it’s a simulator mode which rb is not and having matchmaking be limited to a few nations that can be paired with each other really makes it easy to one side to completely stomp one side out example being F15C/E bluefor stomping on redfor with their best plane being Su27sm/j11A and mig 29smt last year
No really, their military is indeed inoperable but they also not that reliant on US weaponries, because they just turning into a incentive machine that try to milk the money from the gov as many as they can

Nah.
Pure random is the best option, it’s the most fair and causes the least issues with vehicle balance.
@Hudler
That’s not what realism means, and real-life wargames do exactly that and more.
We have realistic battles back, they’re currently here.
What you want are historical battles, which have nothing to do with realism.
@NOR_Tissetassen Again, not what realism means.
You are wrong again, as ussual.
Please don’t make any effort to respond, as i will not be talking with persona non grata such as you
Thanks
if we’re arguing about what “realistic” means, its kinda getting into semantics, everyone has different ideas of what they think warthunder being “realistic” should entail
The definition of “realistic” is not something to debate.
Something either is realistic or not.
US Abrams and RU T-90A fighting against Ger Leopard 2 and CHRL ZTZ simply IS NOT realistic.
Or GRB should be renamed “Ground Somewhat-Kinda-But-Not-Really-Realistic Battles” - GSKBNRRB in short
The irony of this post is off the charts.
Here you are debating what realism is, claiming everyone is wrong but you.
What you want is historical authenticity, which is not realism.
Words have meanings, use the correct words.
for some people realism is accurate mechanics which warthunder has, for others it is historical realism more similar to sim battles, people can have different ideas of what level of realism they want
You’re thinking historical authenticity, which is the actual term for the meaning you’re trying to portray.
Realism comes from the driving simulator games, which has leaked into shooters to relate to gunplay and character movement, and vehicle combat games to relate to physics and systems functioning in a realistic manner.
yes which can be argued to be a form of realism, its further down the realism scale, i.e how real do you want your game, real in that it portrays events that could in theory happen happen or real as in it has an accurate physics engine etc
@AlvisWisla when people here talk about realism, they’re only ever talking about their own specific sense of immersion. Nobody complaining here is a tanker, or a tank mechanic, at best people are trying to the compare the game to books and movies, and in some cases, other video games. Nobody arguing for realism has any geniuine frame of reference so don’t worry about it.
@Circleati that’s a nice sentiment but realism is only ever refers to the particular person’s subjective idea of immersion. Regardless of how people try and disguise it with discussion about balance or game meachanics, most of these posts are just people complaining about how they’re not winning enough battles or getting enough kills.
It’s always some version of:
- Game broken,
- Vehicle broken,
- Vehicle under/overperforming or if they’re being fancy:
– Vehicle is behaving unrealistically and if they’re being really really fancy
– The vehicle is being placed in unrealistic circumstances resulting in it’s overperformance or underperformance
If there’s actually a problem, people don’t complain about realism, they complain about the bug report being ignored, if there’s actually actually a problem, you didn’t know about it until you read about in the bug report where it was fixed.

i asked you for one (1) thing and you still do couldn’t comply
Realism is a realism.
Is tank sliding off slopes is realistic? No - should be changed.
Is 1980’s german tank fighting 1980’s french tank is realistic? No - should be changed.
Simple as. There really is nothing to discuss
yep and thats your idea of what realism is, someone else can have a different idea of what it is
thats what ive been trying to get across but some people are trying their best to ignore it
