Been wanting for mechanics like this in war thunder for years.

Alright guys, it seems that Gaijin provided us with at least one developer who is working on detailed cockpits!
And since cockpits are only used by sim players, this is a tiny step forward for us.
Whoever this developer is, let’s thank him :)

They say airfields on BRs higher than 10.7 are now protected by Strela and Ito 90m.
And we can now spawn and land on carriers again

This is fake. I just checked the air defense and haven’t received the ITO90 and SA13.
Don’t tell me they forgot that EC has airfields as well.
I’ve checked 11.0-12.0 bracket and see standard Rolands on airfields
I just checked several maps, and none of them have received the new anti-aircraft systems. They forgot the simulation AGAIN.

Sorry I had to use your screenshot I didn’t took any

Sim EC, 13.0-12.3, Denmark
Ok guys, so the same bug is closed by War Thunder: issue.
Apparently, Gaijin think this is not a bug and we need to create a suggestion on this forum. You guys know how Gaijin deals with Sim:
- ignore forum
- redirect from issue tracker to forum

Unfortunately, that’s probably how it’s going to happen.
I pinged @Smin1080p_WT in the changelog, but he’ll probably never respond. It’s crazy because this change is only really necessary in simulation mode, but we haven’t received it.

How about we vote for the questions about SIM here: youtube ask me post
Gaijin asks us as if forum does not exists, let’s answer there

Hey, In case you find this issue still relevant, try making a suggestion in the suggestion tab, and link it to the bug and suggestion hub I made here in the sim discussion, so this issue may get more visibility from other sim players. The idea is to facilitate the way for everyone to support these suggestions and bug reports
Forum represents much smaller part of WT players than youtube channel. I really hope Gaijin will do such posts more frequently so forum community will understand better what majority of players want.

If you check the suggestions passed to the devs you notice that all the ideas that would improve gameplay and QoL are drowned out by sub trees, cosmetics and extremely niche/rare vehicle requests. If I was a dev looking at the forum, I’d think the players want 50 different new subtrees and more copy and paste vehicles instead of new mechanics, game modes and maps. A large chunk of the player base is to blame for constantly asking for more slop on the forums and not asking for more gameplay improvements.

This. No need to add more. Thank you for saying out loud.

This is Gaijin’s market strategy: to sell more clones and at least a few new vehicles with each update to attract new players and make old players to pay more. They WILL add more aircrafts and ground units, no matter if people ask or not.
Though I’d still prefer at least one patch oriented on game mechanics and updates for Sim, instead of a new Canada/Tailand/South-north-west-east Manupea

To be frank, in defence of the playerbase - the suggestions are heavily controlled by the suggestion moderators.
I’ve submitted a suggestion to give us mirror denmark (blue/U.S spawns on the northern side of map) in addition to current denmark (kinda how there’s 2 zhengzhou variants) and that suggestion sat in limbo for at least half a year by the time they finally approved it for people to even begin to vote.
One wonders how many other gameplay/map/mission based suggestions sit in this limbo never to see the light of day and when they do, the suggestion’s author may not even be present to explain and promote it adequately.

There are many that the suggestion moderators just lock and hide away without any information as to why to the author, or how to improve the suggestion if there is an issue with it’s format. From what I’ve seen and interacted with the suggestion mods, they lean very heavy towards the easy, visible, and wide suggestions that are applicable to the game mode they favor the most. It’s why you almost never see sim suggestions anymore, because none of them actively play the sim modes unless they are farming the air EC.

Dude I could type up an essay on that bs but I don’t wanna get too far off from the topic of the thread lol. We definitely need an EC rework though. Even if they don’t change the current missions they could at least add something else for us to do when we aren’t fighting other players. I learned a little bit of the CDK myself and figured out just how easy it would be to add new objectives. Theres tons of assets that are just sitting in the files unused. If I could download the regular EC mode and mess with it in the CDK I’d 100% do it myself.
They really dont give a fk about Sim EC lol.

With these leaks of new bombing missing with possible strategic bombers do you think if it gets implement that they are changing SIM EC or just changing up realistic battle. I’m really hoping they are listening and working on a SIM mission overhaul.
