[Development] Discussing reports related to the Challenger 2 MBT

To be fair I’d be half tempted to incite a riot on Reddit, except

a) muh reddit gamers are apes,
and b) mods gonna be like “nuh uh”

I just changed my steam review to negative and left a scathing one.

It won’t make any difference, but makes me feel a bit better.

Dont underestimate the unbridled autism of people who are too interested in military vehicles

But review bombing doesnt work, gaijin said so and they must be right!!!

My negative review consists of alternatives games to play.

Sadly, all of the alternatives are single player mostly. That’s one of the main reasons I’m still playing War Thunder

Hey, stop calling me out!

mine has been on there since the original steam review spam and i said i’ll change it when the game deserves it

It still doesnt.

Also btw its still got mixed reviews. I reckon its time to… “fix” that

“Reviewing all the available evidence I wish to consider (the Devblogs over the last couple of weeks) i am bug reporting the steam reporting system. Currently War thunder is shown has having “mostly positive” reviews as of late. This is clearly incorrect and should be adjusted to “Mostly Negative” as clearly the devs have a pathetic understanding of “balancing” and “realism””

But it isnt, your including the backing/mounting plate as part of the protection which is NOT the ERA’s specification classification rating at STANAG 5/6 its meant for the ERA block alone, yet in game you still have a chance to pen the ERA with it including said backing plates as part of the armour viewer.

Gaijin also begged the community to stop doing it last time.

They also bent over backwards to make things the way the community wanted.

I reckon they’d be fairly responsive.

Careful, I got a nice 2 week “shut up” restriction for mentioning the may kerfuffle

remember, in the board meetings, if ppl keep spending money, everything is fine

I re-updated my negative review. They think a half-assed economy roadmap gives them free reign to just take a steaming hot crap on western “redditors” apparently. I’ve never seen any company with such a huge resentment towards their primary customers, never mind a game developer.

I’ll be damned if I care.

I’ve got better things to be doing than pissing about reading their excuses and justifications and trying to argue the toss about something they know to be wrong with heaps of evidence proving it.

Orson, buddy, chum, pal, friendo, kumrade. Whatever.

We know you are just the messenger, however you are also a direct line to the devs at least to my understanding. so. I need you to do me one little favour.

Can you please tell the devs to find their nearest shovel. Then get intern Ivan, Dimitri, Igor or whoever! To politely dig their heads out of the godammened sand and actually LOOK at these reports they are given.

This is just a token attempt to placate us and if I’m honest if I was one of the folks who made these bug reports, spent my time and money going through archives, books, documents and whatever else I can get my hands on and THIS is all we get in return, quite frankly there are strong words I would like to use but shall try and refrain from doing so.

What is being asked of us is an impossible thing. We’re being asked for “More Documentation” Now unless there is some bible of the Challenger tank stored away in some dingy corner of the National Archive that hasn’t seen the light of day since the effing 80’s anything more is CLASSIFIED and we ALL remember what happened the last time.

Now secondly I think most of us would be VERY interested in what sources the devs have used on the challenger modelling. I for one can say I am.

At this point we can for sure demand War Thunder to be renamed as “Z Thunder”. That will give a correct signal to the new players about what is going on with the game right now

I mean, I’ll be honest, whilst i have no right to be, I’m annoyed on all those people’s behalfs.

I’ve forwarded one bug report to do with Challenger 1 ammunition modelling, and that was fairly easy as that could be done with in game stuff only.

God knows how much effort they put in to trying to fix things to give us the minutiae of buffs and then get rewarded with this heap of garbage of a response.

Its more to me the fact that those absolute hero’s spent their time, traveling to an archive and spent days or several weeks doing so or money purchasing every little scrap of public info on the CR2 they could sniff out, to make the literal MOUNTAIN of reports only for the devs to turn around and say “Need more)))))))”

shame we can’t turn around and do the same thing to the devs. maybe they’d actually understand the gravitas of what theyre doing then.

…but Gaijin proof and Gaijin Logik are infallible… they don’t NEED to get sources like we do. For them they can BELIEVE and ASSUME and that’s fine. Stuff like facts are an irritation…nay…an evil Westoid invention.

There’s not room for that sort of thing in St Petersbu…ahem…Hungary.
