Since the new update is coming soon, I wanted to talk about the current state of the game.
The New Anime Tanks
I don’t have a problem with anime in general, but a game that is known for its realism should not have anime skins. I know part of the community enjoys them, but they feel out of place in a game that focuses on realistic military vehicles. It seems like a cash grab rather than something that improves the game.
Premium Vehicle Spam
Many of the vehicles added in recent updates are premium vehicles, and some of them feel like simple copy-and-paste versions of existing tech tree vehicles. For example, the F-16AM is almost identical to the tech tree version. The main difference is that one is free to unlock through gameplay, while the other costs money.
Infantry
I don’t think infantry needs to be added to War Thunder because it simply doesn’t fit the game. War Thunder is focused on vehicles such as tanks, aircraft, and ships. If players want a first-person shooter experience, there are already many games that provide that.
So, Gaijin, please focus on fixing the game’s existing issues before adding more content that many players feel does not improve the overall experience.
1- Realism has nothing to do with aesthetics.
Those are two entirely different discussions.
2- Premiums should be copy-paste as first priority, then 2nd priority being a minor variant.
The most unique vehicles being tech tree is ideal.
3- That’s why it’s going to be an entirely separate game mode.
Anime-like content is an alternative and numerous premium vehicles are made to grab that ‘moola’. Do you expect Gaijin to have the same revenue from a pay-to-play game in a free-to-play title? It’s obvious they’re trying and are cashing-in money with those in-game products, it’s the free-to-play market, deal with it or leave. No. War Thunder is not realistic, it’s a pseudo-realistic vehicular combat game, the “realism” they sell out in sponsorships are just for the market to buy, the game is known outside for leakage of military secrets and controversies, not because it’s realistic. Infantry, just like naval battles is not liked by everyone, there’s a reason why it’s going to be a separated gamemode.
You can hide them in settings. Also you can even purchase historical camos or download them in WT live.
Yeah bc premiums are for wallet warriors to grind the TT faster, not for the regular player. I dont want a unique vehicle being locked behind a paywall also.
It’s better than locking vehicles that should be in the main tree behind a paywall.
This isn’t a bad thing, but we just need less premiums in general. There’s really no reason for things like the Fw-189 or every single turboprop to a premium vehicle.
