Decompression in Jet BRs or fix matchmakers are really needed for makes playable good old top dogs such as F-2 Sabre, CL-13, MiG-17, Hunter F.1 again.

Oh man! I forgot to add that to my suggestion. Being able to rebuy old battepasses and play then in tandem with the current one would be awesome. Kind of like what Halo does. Although in that game you can only pick one at a time. The difference is I found Halos BPs to be significantly easier to finish, and you have way more time to do them. So thats why their model works

This whole thing is nice. Kind of a like a Christmas/New Years wishlist!

We only get to pick ONE thing?
A majority of people have a few suggestions (if not many). its going to be REALLY hard to pick a favorite. And are we also limited to only the game?
Personally i also have a few suggestions on making both the bug report site and the forum a bit better.

We have 130k+ regular online at any time of the day, that’s about 260k total players every day.
Let’s say 25% of them will write a single suggestion? - Thats 65k ideas they have to sort out.
I am pretty sure they have mechanics to sort trash out but you get the idea

I think something like this would breathe more life into top tier air battles

Sadly there’s only room for one point.

To be fair, I suppose the more central issues like BR decompression will be mentioned a lot anyway.

I think I’ll dedicate my post to something else, like gamemodes.

No doubt there will be a lot of similar ideas but let’s be honest gaijin can’t make new gamemodes fun. Or at least they didn’t tried.

I’ll agree with the last part.

I think they could do just about anything if they really tried.

There’s many impressive features, mechanics, and other aspects in War Thunder that probably took a lot of work to accomplish.

That being said, I also think being in touch with the playerbase is important for making a fun experience. It’s not just technical and design skills.

I blame for this their agressive monetisation. Easier to farm something or spend less time on grind? Then you don’t get it

most of them can be sorted through with keyword search.
even automated word sorting. just algorithmically sort them out by keywords. you can even separately make a list of the most used words and from there extrapolate the most talked about topics. its not like they go through them ALL by hand. sure many of them will be read manually just to confirm if the person is for or against that specific topic. but i would guess that they just compile a majority of it into keywords.

Oh definitely.

I think they could make fun game modes if they tried.

Key word being tried, which neccesitates that fun is the primary intention, and not other factors such as monetization.

I imagine most players want War Thunder to succeed, and are willing to support the game in some form. That’s why I want a healthy monetization model, not a predatory one that significantly lessens enjoyment of the game.

From what I’ve heard, games like Warframe and Planetside 2 seem to handle this well. Those games have a surprisingly healthy relationship between developers and playerbase (for F2P games), or so my bro tells me.

What about GPS and Glide bombs?. They could be useful in ARB were they could be used as Fire and forget bombs against bases and stationary targets.

Would like to see a weekend rotation of Air RB EC mode similar to what naval players enjoy every weekends

Some of these replies (especially on Steam) make me lose hope for this community. Its either “add [VEhiCle i liKE]” or “add fringe feature X no one cares about and has no actual impact on the game whatsoever”

If your main concern wasnt about balance, BR decompression, the economy or a significant improvement to the game, please for the love of god dont even bother, thanks.

Also some variation in game modes like:

For Ground RB a Tug of War and an Assault mode like in World in Conflict

Permanent Naval EC

Air RB EC without markers

A World War mode on huge maps incorporating all vehicle classes.

Managed to give an overall concept request instead of just “gib [X] this thing”

I gave suggestion to add full AIR RB EC.

It would literally solve so many issues and dilute the compression problems we have right now, so this is why I chose this suggestion over BR decompression.

Please God almighty, have mercy and give us back this glorious mode. Let 2024 be the year of my dreams come true. Amen.

I think they should overhaul AI before they do another test, but I do want another test when we get new AI.
