Lots of us were here for it… this is not some crazy conspiracy.
What???

Your topic has no weight if you don’t mention the actual issues, not that Gaijin will ever compo you premium time. I’d hand you a virtual tissue if I could.

The whole missile damage and then gun damage deal

And just to be clear, sim has been broken for over 24 hours now, fully, with no way to play it.
The issue is while he chose to only play top BR air, the rest of us were playing a perfectly serviceable game across the BRs and game modes.
I should not be refunded just because top BR air RB had buggy missiles for 7 - 10 days.
I report the bug and play other game modes and BRs until the bug is fixed because the game itself is not unplayable, and even that bug didn’t make top BR unplayable just missile-buggy.
If the game itself is unplayable, then yes, I deserve compensation such as when there were DDOS attacks a few years back and I got premium time back when servers went down.

See here:
The majority of the playerbase does not play all modes provided. This means that you cannot use the idea that “well just go play another mode” as an excuse. Said player may not WANT to play the other mode. War Thunder is an extremely large game that does not expect you to play every single thing provided. One person may like flying planes but have no interest in ground or navy modes. One person may play only naval.
Am I to believe that the only thing that would make the game unplayable to you is server outages? So long as you can connect to a game, that it is playable?
You literally couldn’t spot enemy planes in air sim at prop tiers.
HE guns were not working.
Just read r/warthundersim for bug report posts if you insist on disbelief.
actually I got time:

Literal game breaking bug affecting all but radar BRs. I for one only play WW2 aircraft. My only way to play WW2 aircraft during this period was to play Il2:GB.
I can’t find the exact thread that explain the HE shells breaking, but there was also that (it was something about the HE shell explosion desyncing from the plane it impacted IIRC?)
Right now, you LITERALLY cannot create air sim lobbies: Technical Issues with Custom Battles and Custom Sessions in Air Simulator Battles - #2

Yeah so I was playing that entire time and their were no air related bugs so bad that I couldn’t enjoy the game (well… as much as one can “enjoy” War Thunder…).
You’re making too much over too little.
OP has said about Air sim, which was affected far more than air RB due to lack of markers and the bits I linked about spotting.
For just how bad it was:
On Sicily, I flew on air superiority point (8 by 8 kilometres) at ~3 km altitude and spent some 5-8 minutes at an impasse as my opponent couldn’t find me and I couldn’t find them despite it being daytime with no clouds.
Compare that to before or after the long-overdue fix where you can spot an enemy from up to 10-12 kilometers away as a tiny black dot and fly to engage.

A core game function like a2a missiles proxy and cannon shell damage being screwed up is a pretty severe issue
What the guy above said for sim too

I admit in air rb the only missiles I use are early AIM-9Bs, but I use a lot of proxy he and he in general in all different types of things and never had the problems to the level others said they had.
It mostly affected higher tier missile jets. I felt invincible the first couple games but turns out it was a really botched RNG because sometimes proxy worked for you, sometimes it didn’t, and sometimes the enemies proxy worked

Missiles were fully bugged into being RNG. Guns were fully bugged to where lots of guns were doing comically low levels of damage. Sim rendering was fully broken making sim unplayable besides bombing…
And currently, sim is fully disabled as a gamemode. That’s happening right now, and has occurred for the last ~24-36 hours.
I believe it.

Word for word :P
Oh yeah… I didn’t play sim during that time because I was uninterested.
I did play the last two months though and thankfully dots were all perfect.
Sucks about the custom battles issue going on right now; At least Gaijin made lobbies are playable.
The funniest thing though is dots are a gaming feature. It’s nice to have them, even if they’re incorrect to how things would be in other simulators.
You need to relax with your attitude Corsair.
