god no the old player needs new toys to play with
How? I bought german sherman at 4.0 for 60€, I’m sure some unique ww2 would be bought for 60€-70€

I’m the opposite personally, I find modern vehicles the most interesting and not really represented in gaming such as many Chinese and Russian videos. DCS is too focused on American vehicles and ace combat is way too Arcady. There’s plenty of WW2 stuff in Warthunder already. Also got to remember the increasing rate of technological development. Personally I’m still waiting for the eurofighter and I’m hoping early next year.
Not everyone enjoys playing slow WW2 era vehicles and not everyone enjoys playing modern vehicles.
I would assume that the sales numbers for Premium at Gaijin tell them quite well which era is currently preferred and where their focus should be to maximise their sales.

Modern Vehicles are just too fast and hectic in gameplay for me.
Probably why their adding more modern vehicles, I don’t see most people be hyped about some WW2 aircraft but the next modern jet
Gaijin, stop the modern vehicle race already, before you hit the brick wall.
I would value the addition of something like Panzer II Ausf. L “Luchs”
higher than a hundred more slightly different modern machine variations.
The quality of modern tank gameplay in War Thunder sucks
because most players simply cannot handle it properly.
WW2 can hype a lot of people. Like the Sturmtiger and TOG II did, or the German Sherman and prototype T-34 that sold out in a flash.
They did not sell because they are good, but because they’re rare.
There is plenty of fun to have in the lower BRs, but I also enjoy playing modern Leopards, Wiesel 1A2, AFT09 and TKX. So Gaijin is doing the right thing by adding vehicles for everyone and while the amount of WW2 vehicles is already extensive in game, the modern era vehicles are not.
Look at the variants of the Panzer IV in game or the T-34. They all feel the same when playing them, even though they have some variations on the rounds used and the calibre, but they all move like a Panzer IV or a T-34.
You get the same with the Leopard as well, because certain vehicles will spearhead an era in the game, but at the end of the day, it’s all the same. Slower gameplay in lower BRs and faster paced gameplay in higher BRs. Nothing wrong with that, just enjoy what you like to play and done.
I disagree. Modern aircrafts can attract a lot of new players.
The only problem is the lack of proper gameplay and balance issues.

Personally, there is is enough vehicles in game to keep you busy for the next few years, even with premium. I also predict that majority of the players that moan for new vehicles will stop playing anyways when there is nothing left to add & each tech tree looks like a McDonalds Franchise menu (copy paste).
Ideally, I would like to see event vehicles being the only addition and some of the more unique WW2 and Cold War vehicles, including some of the concept vehicles from the era.
Same time, I would also like to so improvement in game design, bug fixes and map design along with more maps. So -
- Ground effect is not a vacuum, it is a air pocket you ride on that requires less thrust and pitch to maintain lift.
- Mouse Aim still has incorrect rudder input on a roll & pitch (turn)
- Rounds vanishing when taking barrel or breach damage or dying
- Tree hitboxes being at a offset from the tree
- Floating buildings (Afghan Alt History you can hide your AV8B+ under some buildings and have fun. Can be quite lol
- APFSDS not ricocheting on shot traps. Along with APFSDS, APHE, AP, HESH damage projection. Yes, I have had it before where I overpressured with APFSDS by hitting the barrel of a tank.
- Clear and separated game mode and intent between Arcade, Realistic and Sim. Increased reward for arcade players so they do not feel obliged to grind in realistic, complaining about realistic modes and then realistic being turned into arcade death box matches.
- Ghost artifacts in the sky and under terrain while using TWS
- Seperate BRs (WW2, Cold War, Modern) by technology and not year. Preventing WW2 tech and designs fighting Cold War and Cold War fighting Modern
- Balance BRs for what the vehicle is, not how well people play with it.
This is just what came to mind immediately.

Thats a very rare exception. Just imagine for a second if Gaijin try sell us Sweden Sherman for 60 euros.
Is pretty clear Gaijin for monetary reason or not, they taked one direction and is stay focused in modern stuff, so people we are here for WW2 tanks we are second class players.
I dont know if this list is accurate but again another patch where 90% of the content is modern stuff.
There’s no way this leak is real. F-15E without Rafale or maybe Eurofighter? F-117A? JDS Yubetsu, with 8x RGM-84 (139km range)?
Its not real I strongly assume so
We already have vessels with unusable AShM’s there’s a chance the JS Yūbetsu does come but just without them (I at least hope it does).
Other example is the Type 143 with four Nord Exocets MM38’s, also AI wise Project 1143.4 with P-500.
I hope they accelerate adding modern tech, so they run out of modern tech to add sooner. This will cause them to focus on props again, of which there are a lot to add/update.
Unfortunately for most it just wouldn’t, the hull armour addons of the later Leopard 2s are about the best it gets in terms of modern kinetic tank protection, something that the rest of NATO hasn’t really invested in at all. Yes the hull armour of the Chally 2, Ariete, Leclerc, ZTZ-99A and Merkavas definitely needs some work but there is no magical ‘2a7 standard’ because realistically it is one of the best armoured MBTs in the world (frontal arc)
i think they already have. So the new BP is going to have 2 vehicles plus a box that will give you an old event vehicle. This time around will probably be a tank.
I mean true, but the fact that a non-DU Abrams is second only to such armor (and the DU Abrams are more protected) means that the current state is woeful.
