Gaijin, Stop blanket nerfing an entire game mode - This is just a lazy approach and does not address the cause of the nerf

Let’s rephrase then: Punishing people who play sim for its own sake rather than show up for fast RP/score and then leave once they got what they wanted.

Are you paid to shill? You are biggest coalposter i have seen in my life.

Criticizing the game is shilling now? Okay. Keep defending War Thunder through hiding what’s really going on.

Agreed. The SL costs are the main reason I cannot play sim as much as I want (battlepass tasks being obnoxiously RNG with how specific they can be and not finding those planes an entire match second).

I do however see the point of incentivising RTB though. Maybe something like SL gain on getting killed cannot be lower (if you earned score that is) than it cost to take off regardless of useful actions time. However RP and mission score I don’t see as big of a reason to protest such.

It might even justify upping RP rewards again.

Yes, we all know that it affects the grind for events and pages of history, it said that directly in the changelog.

Score means absolutely nothing when there are no events. Gaijin have done this simply because they won’t deal with the zomber issue head on and instead are just trying to kill Air Sim instead.

The multiplier was set initially to get people to play more sim.
It was honestly too high with how much easier sim is to get score in than air RB.
They did this when the A-5C is being used, which is an aircraft that has 4 napalm, and 3 of them frag a base.

They aren’t trying to kill air-sim.

It should be that high, rewards should scale with the difficulty of the mode. That’s why arcade has lower rewards than realistic. The more difficult the mode the higher the rewards should be.

Again, that’s not a reward multiplier. That’s for event score, NOT rewards.
Rewards stay the same.

Yes, everyone knows it’s for the score multiplier for events, it says it in the changelog, the issue is is that Gaijin can’t stop nerfing Sim, since the addition of Useful Actions they just keep piling on the nerfs.

This is not a nerf to sim; this is a nerf to events, which isn’t really a nerf cause it’s still vastly more than the 1.33 - 1.4 events get for realistic battles.

Oh and that 390 score I got in that sim match? Yeah, that’s the same score I get in realistic battles.
For events that’s still = 897 for sim battle score, and 546 at best for realistic battle score.

I dunno man, going from a 3.0 score multiplier to a 2.3 seems like a Sim nerf to me. Maybe it seems that way because only the score multiplier for Sim got lowered. That is literally a nerf to Sim it can’t get any clearer than that.

I wonder why the Sim playerbase has only gone DOWN over the years…

It’s cause the multiplier for arcade score is just always bad, and the multipliers for realistic score swaps between 1.33 and 1.4.
Whereas sim score for events has always been 3.0 for the longest time despite new tactics being created [some of which involve PVP], and so forth.

They are literally nerfing sim because airfield zombers were too good at grinding event score. No two ways about it.

And the next air event for realistic battle score will likely be 1.33 instead of 1.4 for the same reason.
Events are not guaranteed acquisitions.

Never have been, even when each stage required far lower score. What’s your point?

Also, going from 1.4x to 1.33x is a much weaker nerf than 3.0x to 2.3x.

Yeah and it should be bad. As I’ve said before rewards/score multipliers should increase as the difficulty of the gamemode increases. Arcade should be the worst, Realistic should be good but Sim should be much better.

The sim player-base has always been vastly outnumbered by people that just use the game mode to facilitate grinding. And the game mode is basically structured for easy exploitation / being non-competitive.

I was being somewhat facetious. Sim playerbase has gone down because the rewards SUCK. Making a profit without premium, even as a good player, is not easy and requires you to go out of your way to stop having fun.

Instead of just reducing mission points for af raids, they nerfed everything, bravo
