I don’t count ships. Their the minority in this entire case and most play air and ground since Naval is incredibly flawed to even be considered a somewhat functional gamemode with an interest.
In terms of Aircraft and tanks, there has been little to none at all for other nations.
As already said, listing only vehicles that appeal to you personally is at best worthless and at worst dishonest.
By the same logic I can simply claim top-tier additions don’t count, because they don’t appeal to me and balance at those BRs is generally awful (Ground RB is the most flawed mode in WT), and thus I can claim all we get is WWII stuff. But that’s not a useful and valid position upon which to form a seemingly objective claim, just as yours isn’t.

Dude, I don’t mind Top tier. However, there is an imbalance between them. The updates. Which have become heavily focused on Modern and stopped caring about WW2. There is a difference between making Top Tier your main focus and Alienating a certain chunk of your community who doesn’t enjoy it simply because it is no longer a battle of skill. But rather whoever can spam 15 missiles at you while in an aircraft that should not be engaging in those higher degree missiles at all.
It’s also deceptive advertising, as focusing on Modern makes a lot of potential consumers assume oh they gonna get Modern the moment they start the game only to realize that it’s an endless grind. All of it is done to make that consumer buy a Premium Jet fighter. This is why Top Tier currently is plagued with a lot of inexperienced players. This compared to a couple of years ago when Skill mattered and the top tier was originally where some of the more experienced players joined in.
Hell, I’ve seen new players and even players who only played for 4 years get surprised when I use HVARs to counter their missiles. A counter that was invented in Update 1.85 over 5 years, 3 months, and 16 days ago. The only reason they don’t know this was a tactic is simply because most do not use it due to their lack of experience. We had to get creative to combat things. Flares, and Chaff cool glad they’re in the game. I’m by no means against the new toys. But these newer players are simply not on par. To many of us who have accounts nearly as old.
Anyway though ill stop and wait to see what you respond with, coffee is giving me jitters.

These two frequent complaints directly contradict each other. If there wasn’t an “endless grind” then top-tier would also be “plagued” with inexperienced players.
Ideally, all parts of the game should have all skill levels, hand in hand with players having access to as much of the game as possible. Thus, I’m all for less grind.
And if top-tier is “no longer a battle of skill” due to increased automation (which is, in fact, the whole idea of progressing tech) then by definition those less experienced players are less of a problem at top-tier than lower tiers, as the skill gap is smaller.
If you read and not skimmed you would take notice that I pointed this out. Good damn, I know my schooling was shit and I was in Special Ed but do people at this point teach folks to read the cover and not the actual content inside of it? I’m not even old but every time people skim i feel old mentally not physically. Sigh…
I quoted the part that was actually relevant, not opinions of marketing/monetization.
That’s what I call picking and pulling(not nitpicking wrong wording on my part).
So let me simplify it.
Potential Consumer->See deceptive advertising ->Joins game->does arcade to learn the game and play->Want jets and MBTs ->does RB->goes into it assuming its similar to AB->Keeps trying and dies->Decides to buy MBT and Jet fighters->most of the time still struggling->eventually decides->bombing ground targets was a better decision->Does this->The player never learns and remains as nothing more than easy cannon fodder pickings. However, this is where there are 2 paths.
Someone comes by->Teaches them->They become experienced->They teach someone else.
However, the more likely case->No one does->Rinse and repeat buying premiums->ground targets.
This is how Gaijin keeps players dumb, while War Thunder players even when we bicker and bud heads try to steer folks to get better.

You can’t teach those who don’t want to learn.

No- we must advance further, even into the future! I want halo scorpions, and SBY Saruba S-VI Type Heavy Tanks! I want X-wings and Cosmo Falcons, and Starfuries!

Sadly the core gameplay for ground hasn’t evolved at all since its introduction and with all the fast moving tanks rushing to spawncamp, stale gameplay and dominance from air it just leaves toxic gameplay in my opinion!
Remember attack drones?
We still have small crap maps for modern warfare, combined with game modes like conquest it gets boring fast…
Personally I find myself playing less and less and havent renewed my premium account for the past 4-5 months for many years.
I wish Gaijin would think new and be a bit innovative with what they already have, because I think WT could be so much better.
EC like naval or heli for combined arms with dynamic objectives would be awesome imo. Heck, with big enough maps you couod even put in naval to the mix as well!

Wrong. There is EC for Naval available from time to time, like I said. There is no SIM for Naval, but AB and RB EC. I don’t play SIM.
Who cares if you don’t play sim?
You said it isn’t always availabe, without clarification what gamemodes you were talking about. Helicopter EC in AB and Air SB are always available.
So without clarification your statement was untrue.

But if the vehicles that appeal to you happen to be mid or lower tier, be prepared to be labelled a seal clubber…

Be prepared to not give a monkey about what they think/say 👍
You were called out as a seal clubber as you play mainly Rank I & II vehicles (which is for itself alone fine) - whilst complaining about team mates being “plain stupid”. On top of that, your team mates were not really happy about your so called “motivational speeches” which led to a well deserved chat-ban.
Changing your gamer tag from “Sir Swersalot” to Blitzkrieg#14 doesn’t change anything. I mean even if gaijin deleted the whole thread about your complaints about “stupid teammates” who caused a chat-ban - it is more than obvious that you did not get the “message” of the overwhelmingly negative feedback.
So trying to switch roles like now with a rather funny attempt to describe yourself as a victim (despite you benefit solely from playing low ranks vs new players and their lack of experience) is simply hypocritical as hell.

That’s so interesting that it’s almost deserving a proper addressing as to the septic nature of many in this community who attack players for not saving them, or not performing as well as they think everyone should, then post on the forum here proclaiming that the teammates are bad and making out they aren’t the issue.
Like the old V dude, ends up moaning about how bad teams are, I go in, find them TKing someone they didn’t think tried enough to save them.
Pure sepsis… It needs amputation.

Agreed - there was recently a thread in which a player openly admitted that he team killed a friendly carrying a nuke - because he did not want to end this match that early…no further remarks…

Yea, I actually found that footage on reddit, and pointed that out.
He proceeded to ‘ignore’ me and mke out that I was talking nonsense all the time with all those who rile on the daily for the lols.
Quite frankly, we do need to clean house and actually turf a LOT of players who think they’re untouchable because Gaijin ‘does nothing’ and ‘won’t touch them because there’s too many people who pay’ as they all make out that it’s all in the game design that things are leaning to them buying things.
I doubt they’ve actually bought anything, and label everything as buyable because they’re envious of those who can.

I agree with that…i just feel like lately with the updates i see more high/top tier vehicles being added and less and less of low/mid tier vehicles, like SPAAs that are really needed in most of TT and their huge gaps that they have

Well the entire idea with the nuke was stupid anyway.
