Gaijin fumbled the bag hard with the new decals (and the update)

So for as long as the game existed pretty much we’ve had victory mark decals, but only ever for aircraft. Not a single one for ground or naval right. This update we finally got 24 new victory mark decals, and what do you think they did with them? That’s right! 3 of them are for ground, 2 of them for naval, and ALL of the rest of them for air!

Now while these are cool decals and great additions on their own, I have to ask, why? Why not devide them equally over each vehicle type? Or better yet, focus on ground and naval, considering we already had a bunch of decals for air?

I know this is not a huge deal, but it just stings, and there are a ton of little things like this recently. The super cool decals they showed off last dev server were never added. Performance is yet again significantly worse this update. The Thai “sub-tree” feels exceptionally low effort, and the entire update overall just feels lackluster. The Oplot is cool, but is a bit underbaked and takes a long time to grind too. The M55 has a much larger gun than before, but still the same punch for some reason. The T58 is cool, but is a premium. There is just so little here. Even in the update video, this update was the first time to my knowledge where they named almost EVERY SINGLE ground vehicle that was being added, just because of how little there is. I believe only the RAM I (which admittedly is a pretty cool addition), and the 2 Thai copy-paste vehicles were left out.

I understand not every update can be a big one, but at least for ground we haven’t had any new major changes or additions for over 1 and a half years now, apart from the new SAMs, but they don’t offer anything new for tankers. I have come to a point where I’ve grinded out most things I wanted, and what’s left isn’t worth the pain and effort of grinding through. And the gameplay itself is becoming quite stale with barely anything new each update, leaving very little reason to keep playing.

I truly hope Gaijin increases thier effort in the future, because I really want to love this game.

Amen brother. Now that you’ve mentioned subtrees, I must say they seem to put less effort in them consecutively. Just check out BeNeLux. The Thai subtree is a joke!

At leas the Thai tree got something unique. But we don’t even get unique voicelines for these new nations anymore

Lol I haven’t checked again but I think BeNeLux vehicles (and Danish and Norweigan too!) still use the voicelines of their main tech tree. I seriously don’t get it, why add something if it’s half baked? It just makes the game look bad and low effort.

This. I believe they say because it’s not worth the effort, as in: “if we do that, we likely won’t earn our money back”. Which 1: is a terrible way of developing a game, and 2: yeah, good chance you won’t earn any money back if you don’t put any effort into it
