There is no reason to make a vehicle, the bmd4, a premium. We already had an event vehicle and the bmd 4 is in mass use by the russian army, so why is it a premium?
Same with the su33, its a naval variant of the flanker, so why is it a squadron vehicle, which will take at least 3 months to grind for free. (btw it has 48 CM and no ARH missiles)
This literally seems like greed to me, Like gaijin went and said to themselves “What vehicles are popular and people would pay for”
I thought premiums and squadron vehicles are used for experimental or import vehicles. I guess not, well gotta give it to gaijin, already disappointed with the update.
I get the Su-33 being a squadron vehicle when it’s basically a sidegrade with limited A2G and no Fox-3.
The BMP-4M being another premium is ludicrous. We just had the Obj. 140 as a premium and the mass production T-80UD before that, the Soviet tree is bursting with premiums and doesn’t need another.
It is not “free” instead of people like me who do already have top tier for russia air and ground. They put it behind a 3 month pay wall. So you either grind it for 3 months or pay for it. If it was in the TT, you could literally grind it within 6 hours.
Locking a vehicle, behind a literally pay wall, because you will be able to pay for it to unlock it 3 months early. Is literally a definition of a paywall.
i dont really mind the su 33, you can still get them for free and russia has been getting tt in a normal rate, but another ground premium is a joke, isnt this like the 4th or 5th on a row, while they have only gotten spaag in the tt
Im just saying next update they are pasting finland and usa etc. Etc. With more copies of good great strong russian air defence, why bother making that one spaa for that br gap? I mean you see swedens shermans/T-34s in every tier III game making up the whole team because thats how that worked.
Players that say gaijin isnt a realistic game were right i guess. Gaijin just adds whatever gives them the most usage, like the ush-204gk that just needed a small turret design.
So in short. Yea, im done believing gaijin wants to add what is historically accurate to the TT just as long as it fills a gap
War thunder is no longer a game about telling the story about ww2 or cold war struggles, or trying to represent it, its just a plain old business like call of duty. No soul, just income
So because War Thunder is realistic means realism isn’t realism?
You’re done believing reality and facts? Oof. Don’t gaslight yourself like that.
War Thunder was NEVER a game about reenacting history, never. They never made that claim.
But yeah, go enjoy your arcade games then.
We’ll keep enjoying realism.
Experimental vehicles are better suitable for event. BMD-4M is a production upgrade to the BMD-4. It does make sense as a premium, despite I don’t support it, because there’s little difference from the base vehicle.
As if War Thunder were realistic, it’s not, nearly in reality. If the game was realistic, in the ground battle scenario, we wasn’t fighting over a street corner.
