Most likely yes. I see WT as a giant sandbox of interesting military vehicles, the world’s largest digital model shelf. Real world conflicts/alliances/events/etc may be neat, but are ultimately just flavour text, as it were.
Technical realism absolutely yes, historical authenticity not so much.
They just need to remove like half the grind from a tree, copy paste is annoying enough with it just creating the same boring grind over and over and over, sick and tired of having to grind for another T-34… another Panzer IV, another Sherman.
Yet you demand copy-paste for Sweden in the form of KV-1B.
I bet you demand copy-paste of other existing tanks such as RAM 2.
Again, only Israel air has mostly copy-paste out of all the tech trees in War Thunder.
And only Hungary has mostly copy-paste in air, and Italian air is still mostly unique vehicles despite that.
Copy-paste has been a thing since 2013, and it’s not as common as you think.
Yeah, your friends didn’t enjoy realistic tank & air battles anymore, that’s their choice.
You even admit you yourself prefer arcade fictional copy paste [World of Tanks] over War Thunder.
Sweden is mostly unique aircraft and ground, very little copy paste.
WW2 year and capable vehicles are added to War Thunder constantly.
Last three updates:
BF-109 C-1, Zerstorer 45, VTT DCA, Tigris, TPK 6.51 VPC, M-109s, BTR-152D, AMX-10P…
I get that you don’t like War Thunder’s realism and unique vehicles and want to move onto more arcade-like games.
I understand you’re tired of War Thunder being realistic with unique vehicles from Sweden, Finland, and other nations.
@MXY7_Ohka_when
Weird of you to attack NATO fans that love unique vehicles.
I get that you want to defend copy-paste, but please don’t attack others while doing so.
Copy and paste is fine as long as it is reasonably unique, and doesn’t diminish the uniqueness of other trees.
Sweden getting a Tiger II P goes against both of those. It makes a tank unique to one tree, and adds it as a direct copy to another.
An example that works with those parameters is the Lim-5P. It has a different armament and an afterburner compared to a normal Mig-17. It also fits well into the tree.
It isn’t copy paste… Gaijin isn’t the ruler of what nations used which vehicles. They don’t magically decide that vehicles weren’t or were owned by a country, they go off of facts. Like the Swedish Tiger, they owned one and did testing with it. They owned the vehicle, thus meeting the one of the main requirements to be added. Same with lend lease vehicles, same with foreign production models.
