I have been thinking about this for years. What do y’all think about us creating our on vehicles for WT? Free create our own tanks, aircraft and ships (kind of like Sprocket). It will be a “separate nation”, we can make our own flag, research tree and everything. It can start off as an event to test it out first.
Gaijin can make an automated BR system that will score ground vehicles by three categories, speed, armor pen (0, 30, 60 degrees), and effective armor thickness. For example we cant have a tank that has a 50mm gun (130mm pen) with 40mm armor with 70 degree slop armor and can go 70MPH and have it at 3.0 because that is too broken at that BR. Since the effective is way better at lower BR’s and it is fast. It should be something like 6.7+.
Air can be top speed, turn/climb speed, and armament. Im not that knowledgeable in aircraft so someone will have to go in more detailed.
Naval can be tonnage, armament, top speed and armor.
What do y’all think?
It may be nowhere near as realistic as War Thunder, or as customizable as Sprocket, but this reminds me of “Crossout”, another Gaijin video game.
Besides it wouldn’t fit War Thunder, which is about vehicles that exist (at least ideally). It would be a big change in direction which would take a lot of resources away from other areas of the game which needs improvement.
I honestly think it’d be better for Sprocket to get multiplayer functionality like War Thunder, than War Thunder to get sprocket building mechanics.

I never played crossout. I wish Sprocket had multiplayer but it is just one guy. I do agree that it might be easier for Sprocket to get multiplayer.
It would be OP as hell you would need to have some like of mechanic to limit parts to things that already exist RL so people don’t create OP shit also like it would be so hard to balance

I know. Especially armor type. Rolled homogeneous armor, ERA and composite. However, if you use ERA or composite it could be automatically 9.0 or something.
