You could say WW2 history across the board is little more than interesting storytelling.Every thing a drill sergeant says at basic training ,everything a war veteran or Holocaust survivor describes.
How does War Thunder exist when it moves into the area covered by classified data? You tell us all the answer to that one if you are so damn clever.
There is at this point t probably hundreds of threads on this over the last 12 years or so and every time it’s shown why this is a dumb u balanced idea for a game like this one. Just watch YouTube videos of players doing this. It’s a rediculous idea with no though of what they are actually asking for.
They want a historically accurate Vehicle combat simulator. One that Gaijin has time after time, after time stated was never the intention, nor back then, not now.
War Thunder is a old tired game and now modern players are asking for and expecting something War Thunder cant deliver.That is hardly the customers fault is it?
A old tired engine that can’t be tweaked defended by a pseudo–intellectual army of buffoons who can’t see the game for what it really is and pounces on anybody who questions it.
That is what we have here.Blame the OP for the game’s shortcomings…nice .
Maybe they need to make it like EC was before. So, you can take (older in that case) plane to grind for better plane. Maybe with changes like less price and no timer - but overall near
The only way a historical matchmaker may exist is with a totally new gamemode with every platform being as up to date as possible, being capable to face vehicles of the same era. And giving currency and RP compensations to underdogs in the event of a completely unbalanced bracket as a possible outcome.
While i think in ground battles there could be workarounds for many nations, in air, things will get ugly real fast.
You said earlier and quite rightly ,era matchmaking would be nice but it won’t happen in this game.
Now that is very true and was recognized quite rightly as a good comment but it means the suggestion is a sound one but it cannot be delivered. Now we have so many somewhat stupid people claiming it is some kind of bad suggestion and anybody who suggests it or expects it is some kind of villain or idiot for doing so.
The Gaijin forum apologists who keep this game in the dark ages and grant it an eternal license to be an old rickety game that keeps taking people’s money.Poor fools who expect that something may one day change for the better.
All that can be hoped for is that the newer players realise nothing will ever change here and join the army of downtrodden old veterans in accepting the inevitable to such an extent that the bad thing becomes a good thing. A bit like Taxes.
Time designed, time tested, enter service, where does the bracket end? What you going to do to fix the 150 in queue for Germany and 5 for allies? No amount of practical sl or rp is going to get parity in the mm. This has been tried in events and ww mode and every time it’s been busted, unbalanced and people stop queuing in the nation at the obvious disadvantage. This is from people who have played for 12 to 14 years and seen it talked about and tried for all that time and it’s never worked. Instead of starting new threads and repeating the exact same posts over and over just go look at those threads.
Maybe but you know that people don’t read every thread on here.The longer you play the game the more you start to question it.So you come to the forum seeking answers and you find that the game has severe limitations that even the devs can’t fix. Luckily there is an army of fan boys so passionate they gratefully pave over all the cracks so Gaijin don’t have to.
You’re comparing an SPA with an MBT, which in a real conflict won’t be facing each other, and ofc it wouldn’t work in game.
The first should be used on infantry support/siege, an MBT can provide some infantry support, but it is mostly a jack of all trades.
I’m not a fan of historical matchmaking, in fact i’m against it, I just wanted to express an opinion of how (even in the most advantageous position) a historical matchmaker would work without getting a ridiculously low level response in the process, but it definately failed as an exercise.
At the top of the forum is a magnifying glass. If you click that then type historical match making or battles. That will find every discussion already had.
If that’s still tricky you can type the same thing into your google search bar or search engine of choice and get every forum thread and post that way.
They say the game is dying and every day it seems we have another post from a veteran saying goodbye.We all laugh at the grand farewell and we say that new players will come in and that is true.Then we have another ten posts from angry players moaning about the infux of new players especially at top tier.
Hardly uprising then that we have so many relatively recent arrivals asking the same old questions.They are only old questions to older players.It is like new arrivals at a school asking a teacher an question they have heard a million times from new arrivals. Repetition brought about by leavers being replaced by newbies.
No I came here for Air RB and found it to be far from what I expected so I left it.
Then I found GRB and decided to give a go before I go.Actually really like it below a certain level.I feel it ceases to work above that level mainly for the reasons underlined by the OP funnily enough.
I don’t actually find there is balance in GRB above 6.7 with old WW2 armour facing Cold war slingers with 400mm of pen and high top speeds.Another story maybe but thanks for asking.
