Gaijin. Update Sim EC

,

Why make a game a second job?
I will never understand.

Well, this should get you 30 days in jail, haha!

It’s a real bloody shame that you lot are Americans. I cannot even tell you to piss off (in a joking manner) without getting my comment removed. Either way, what rules does calling for pve break?

Because when I started, I wanted to have fun. Then I realised that I was not having fun, I needed more. So now I’m grinding to complete all my trees, so then I could screw around in Customs.

I’m Swiss, my boss is Polish. Our team does contain Amercians, yes, but they are a minority.

The relevant aspect is that the game rules clearly forbid any insulting, abusive and offensive content, and using such language jokingly does not exclude such messages from those general rules.

Btw, you joked in a non-offesive way, so I replied with another joke. All good. = )

3.2. Users may not publish in Game Chats any messages, posts, or images containing:

3.2.18. Incitement to stop playing the Games, avoid in-game activities, or purchase any content from the Gaijin.Net Store.

Note that while mentioning PvE may not necessarily be punishable (depending on context - this has been discussed at length in other threads…), abusing or harassing players that do not comply with arbitrary calls for PvE always is. That’s the crucial part that I always want to highlight.

My response during Sim EC matches when players ask if it is PvE is simply this: “This is not a PvE game mode.” Luckily I rarely encounter situations where they insist on PvE or get abusive when they get killed by a player, but it (still) does happen.

Ah, thanks mate. I have ran into people on here and other War Thunder pages (like Facebook) who will go and on about how PvE is bannable (or saying participating should be banned), but never really give an example in the EULA or ToS about why. So thank you again for being like the only person that has actually given a clear statement.

I only said you lot were American just because of the grammar. I forget that Americans have a monopoly on the English language everywhere besides Western Europe and the British and Irish isles. That, and the lack of good humour. By the way, massive fan of the chocolates (Belgian is overrated), but Austria has you beat on the skiing.

Ahhh, so much is forgiven now…

Btw he grew up in my neighbor-village and his dad was in my military unit.

But then, admittedly, I myself don’t even ski and don’t care about ski sport at all, haha!

I’m talking about good places to ski, not who has the best ski folks. I recommend Katschberg if you ever want to ski. Very beautiful, plus it is not too crowded, unless things have changed.

Well Austria is for sure cheaper and has the better hotels and service, I think. But scenery wise Switzerland is better.

I mean, beat spectacular Grindelwald… ;-)

That’s literally how I play in Sim EC when flying fighters.

Next time I’m on the mainland, I’ll check out Grindelwald. I just have to escape my wife’s family to do so. Northern Italians, that’s all I have to say. If we’re not in Austria, we are pretty much in their backyard to ski.

We got official word-of-god confirmation that the server decided to send vehicle location data to clients based on keen vision perk for ground battles (or used to, until this patch.). We can presume the same likely applies to air as well - thus likely giving support to claims about planes activating cloaking fields at last.

I wonder if this patch extends to air modes. I hope it does.

Looks like the first improvement is on its way.
Gaijin added S-75 SAM Defence. Only in custom missions at the moment.
Those, who want to try to dodge these missiles, welcome to the mission.

I would love to see Sim EC losing kill feed. We shouldn’t have instant feedback if we got a kill or not. Every WarSim game has no kill feed or has a delayed one.

“Good” news everyone: they have updated EC. The reward for capping a zone has been significantly nerfed.

It used to be 600 points for a complete or solo cap and a minimum of 200 points if you just made it onto the zone for a couple seconds. Looks like the minimum is now 70 points and the maximum is just over 300 points, although I haven’t confirmed with a total solo cap yet, but I have been first in the zone and there for the entire cap. So yea, cap rewards just 30-60% of what they were.

Guess there were just “too many” other good scoring opportunities for pure fighters…

I don’t mind kill feed. Kill cam could go away, though

Gaijin, you really are spoiling us…

Something like truck convoys or strategic assets moving around towns and roads that you can strafe with CCIP guns and bombs, the current AI targets are impossible to take out without guided weaponry.

Gotta leave it to Gaijin to nerf an entire game mode because of a certain group of players.
