Gaijin and War Thunder are going to be around for a while and have great potential for any future projects. Ive had some time to revamp this Post in an attempt to make it an actual “Anchor point” for discussions. Devs/Mods you too are welcome to share your experience and opinions on this. Im doing this in the best interesst for all of us.
Again, feel free to educate me if i get anything wrong.
In the past, there was a lack of communication and response between WT Devs/(R&D? i dont know what its called, the high people in gaijin) and the community. Then some time ago we got a roadmap and significant good changes were made in economy, gameplay and game mechanics. And i feel that we have strayed from that path.
And there are still some long saught after solutions to problems that, to me, still seem to be unresolved/not even attempted to resolve.
My problem with those is that, in my opinion, the community makes actual good arguments and honest attempts to give Gaijin option/ideas to improve the game in an actual balanced manner. And YET, it seems to fall on deaf ears.
What i dont understand: is it not good to listen to the community, produce quality content and interact with the players to make a enjoyable gaming experience for which people are (more) willing to invest time and money? Its a litteral WIN WIN for everyone.
Now i also understand that we “cant give everyone a free abrams”, you get what i mean. And it takes time to refine and balance changes/additions to the game.
As an example, the recent Nuclear Thunder gamemode. You have a gamemode you use to experiment. Now many people say AA is too strong and the teams vehicles are unbalanced. Feel free to change around stuff and change stuff. Experiment with different variables. Actively change stuff, If it interrupts the game flow/progression, extend the event, use it to its fullest. But play around with stuff and see how the community responds. Dont JUST look at graphs and statistics (yes im aware of Bias and deliberate manipulation of sources) work in tandem with the community.
in Short: We are giving examples of what you could do and it feels like you dont use it.
Just a List from the top of my head with stuff that still needs some attention (in my opinion):
-improvements to Heli PvE
- No CAS GRB mode
-Iron dome meta in Air Sim
-bomber improvements and game objectives for them
-more gamemodes (pve,historical-ish MM, Nato vs. Warsaw, heli PVP but balanced)
-Special vehicles in the tech tree not just as event vehicles (there is still no A-6 Intruder in the tech tree, its been 4 years)
-less copy paste vehicles(T-72/80/90, Migs, Leopards, F-5/15/18)
-high tier premiums (yes theyre not TECHNICALLY top tier, make them squadron or something)
-recently less bug reports have been adressed?
-Hello Mods :)
-with the addition to more top tier planes it gets significantly more expesive in both time and money to progress in top tier - more ww2- cold war/low-mid tier additions (theres some awesome stuff out there gaijin)
- reworking GRB maps to decrease Spawn Camping
As a final Word, i really like this game. And i want it to stay active for as long as possible.
And again, if we want to improve the game we NEED to work together.
Thanks for your Attention.
