All good, we have all been frustrated by the game on numerous occasions . . . just how it is. And many think the snail icon to be appropriate for how things get done . . . slowly, but I think they go by an old Japanese proverb where the snail is supposed to climb Mt. Fuji . . . slowly. But it’s more about determination than the speed of things. Gaijin has done a LOT with this game and against the odds with probably less staff than many game developers. It’s really quite impressive, but no game is perfect either. We just have to use more determination than emotion in how we approach/play the game. And another good thing to remember . . . no one pays . . . no one plays . . . aw so . . .
this is the way . . . . .
Relax for 48 hours bro. Go outside and do something else

So you TK 2 people and get away with a 48 hour ban, and then have the nerve to cry on the forums?
48 hours really is not that much.

the problem is that we haven’t had a contact person for over 2 years. we don’t even know if our last thousand feedback messages from the old and new forums have been read at all. there are many things in sim mode that could be improved with a little programming work. I could give many small examples now. I used to program myself and these are things that could be done in an afternoon. everything is available in the files. you don’t have to completely reprogram as much as with the big updates, but only rewrite. step by step. not without tests, of course. …
it’s just a question of will. and the gaijin people obviously don’t want to. I don’t know why. there is no plausible reason. we sim players say self-critically “because we are so few”. but that’s a very weak reason because gaijin could make sim great.
so the problem is that nobody feels responsible for us.
and the people who are responsible here are baffled that we are angry.

OK so I understand your frustration but don’t agree with rounding on the moderator.
I would say that if I face the possibility of a ban for team killing in Sim which is a major concern to me anyway, then I will never bother playing it and after 3 years I never have.
I simply don’t trust Gaijin under those circumstances, not if they are allowing all the copy paste in as well.
It sounds like we are inviting trouble even playing one game of Sim, no wonder the game is dying. No wonder Lieutenant Camel has got the hump!
well… the community helper or moderator could at least once in 2 years go into one of the many sim topics and say ‘sorry guys there are no news yet. but gaijin has not forgotten you sim players’!
I think that would be possible and every other PC game developer company would act like that.

yes Moeeeeep! :) yes I don’t make friends with gaijin :) but the beautiful flirting time is simply long gone.
by the way,- it’s not the players’ fault that the state of sim is so bad. (keyword abuser, teamkiller or whatever). is 100% the fault of the snail. the snail has 100% control over its game. we sim players have to stick together more.
It may seem like a long time. But shoot, enjoy your 48 hours off. Get away from Gaijin for a while. I believe this game is poison.
sorry guys there are no news yet. but gaijin has not forgotten you sim players
Just joking. Fact is that neither CH’s not GM’s have any insight into or influence over development. We can only push the same buttons like everybody else, which s suggestions and bug reports.

So you thought a gaijin employe was reading and writing here ?¿ You are really naive …
Here you are also an active sim player who expresses your wishes here. we know this.
but the Gaijin developers sitting in a fallout shelter, isolated from the world?

SIM could be a home for me but I don’t want to risk a ban and sim seems like trouble waiting to happen.
Copy paste should be banned in SIM if people are getting team kill bans, I mean give the player base a break for Gods sake.
Why do you believe you’re in danger of a ban just by playing sim?
Because if you can get banned for team killing then why play a game where you have no idea who is who? asking to be banned isnt it?
No, but positive ID of your target is part of the game in Sim, and one of the features.
Play sim almost exclusively and (even though admittedly have done my share of TK by negligence), never got a ban in Sim…
You just need to employ some techniques to determine if your target is Red or Blue, that’ it.
Yes but when you fill a game with copy paste it leads to real problems. I understand that this is happening. Should tanks in SIM not have correct markings? or do they ? are copy paste tanks removed in sim or is it t34s on all sides?
I’m afraid I have no answer to that. I personally also see it as problematic to have often the same vehicles on opposing sides in Sim (can’t throw a stick into the air in Sim without hitting an F-84 or F-86 or so from either your or your enemies side…). But this ha sbeen an issue since the very earl days: I remember very heated discussions about for example Japanese Corsairs and other captured planes in Tech Trees causing confusion in Sim…
But frankly speaking I also don’t see any way how this could be solved easily, as especially post WW2, with the Allies/Axis being replaced by NATO/Warsaw, the country combinations completely were overthrown IRL… = /
OK and I dont want to get banned for falling into an official trap so I am going to give SIM a miss thank ,as much as I might be interested in it.
Another long term piece of stupidity and it being long term doesn’t make it any less stupid, a reoccurring theme in War Thunder, something being wrong for years and never sorted out.
So we have copy paste vehicles in a game where we are giving bans for team killing, think about that for a moment.
You still have ways to prevent TK’s, like, for example, communication.
To be honest, I don’t know how it looks atm in Ground Sim, as I haven’t played this for a long time, but in Air Sim EC it’s fundamentally important especially pre-IFF, and works quite well.
Not always, for sure, but having to judge whether you take a shot or not, is part of the challenge.
