Disclaimer, this is just my perspective, I’m posting this because I’m curious about what others think about this.
I recently heard how this vehicle was going to be implemented in game as a squadron vehicle and after watching some videos where people discussed their thoughts about the performance of this proposed aircraft. I thought that it would have been better to implement this gimmick as a reward (or have it be unlocked as a researchable TT aircraft) for completing a certain rank in the US tech tree, similar to the rank 1 unlock-able tanks in the french TT.
Potentially, it could also have be implemented as a promotion vehicle in war thunder mobile as it would have been a fairly effective way that gaijin could have brought more attention to their mobile game and its newly added air mode. Any thoughts?
Squadron vehicle makes so much sense though.
Being a squadron vehicle means it’s easily accessible to a lot of players, which helps to see if it’s effective. It’s a testbed for stealth, so being an event would limit access to its “testing” too much.
Such a gimmick doesn’t really have a place in the TT, and it can’t be used for grinding so a premium would be worthless aswell.
All that’s left is squadron. Not only is squadron the only fit, but Gajin can make some extra cash off a famous and long anticipated vehicle aswell.
I dont mind it being a squadron vehicle. It doesnt block research like it would if it was in the tech tree and we dont have to grind an event.
The mobile game is actual shovelware, so no. I wish they’d just have a companion app for collecting daily rewards instead, like WT Assistant but with a slicker, up-to-date interface.
if you mind asking, why do you say it’s proposed to be added this way?
it’s not a proposal by gaijin, it’s basically carved in stone that they’ll add it as a squadron striker at 8.7
Squadron is the perfect option for me :
- Can be obtained easily / free. No loss if it’s bad.
- Can be purchased by those who want that option.
- Reaches more people = More stealth mechanic testing data
- People expect premiums to be good and worth the money (this wont be)
- People expect event vehicles to be good and worth the grind (this wont be)
- Too unusable in air battles to put in the tech tree proper.
War thunder players complain about ODL and low tier vehicles in high tiers, but also agree to add air squadron vehicles for ppl that doesn’t own a lineup
I think it fits perfect as a squad vehicle.
It is good for players that find the aircraft interesting, and want to try out the stealth mechanic, but are not interested in american aircraft at all. So they can unlock it without grinding through a tech tree they are not interested in playing
Personally think they have added it in the best way possible for the game.
he was talking about the stuff you get in the main game from playing the mobile like the WTM M4
Say that to everyone who supported Boxer MGS Event.
I have been swamped lately and had only recently heard of the aircraft, mistakenly believing its implementation was under proposal due to how the person who informed me described it.
If you delete the mobile game and reinstall it, it goes from 7gb to 1.2gb and stays that way unless you play a match or download assets for high-tier vehicles. Its still more or less shovel ware but at least its not as bad.
Right, I’ll try that eventually, I had to do it for a few other games because for some reason on iPhone, games just inflate in size over time lol
