In real life spaa would not even survive encounter against tanks but WT is not real life so I don’t complain about spaa killing my tank in battle.
Its stupid that some SPAAs are stronger than tanks
I know that because people complain a lot about the Gepard in forum.
Possibly the only way to improve it is to rip it up and start again.
It has progressed too far with baked in and possibly intended flaws, no amount of patches or improvements can fix something that was fundamentally broken in the first place, all the problems are known about but there is no incentive or will to fix them or they are just impossible to fix in the games current state without totally destroying it.
So to improve it, remake it with all the knowledge gained over the years of the flaws, problems and mistakes.
This is IMPORTANT!
If you have a shitty PC like i do, you have to play on “Old Videocard Support” Graphic Settings. The game looks great enough imo and is still fun. Mostly you can change some Stuff but there’s NO SHADOWS or any Settings for that. The Field is greyed out.
How am i gonna know if my Plane’s close to the Ground? I bust my Landing Gear or the Propeller almost EVERY TIME, trying to land.
A Shadow Blow, which wouldn’t be graphically demanding on the Player Vehicle would be sufficient and make the game playable for me. Now it’s BAAAD and i’m RNG Landing…

For many players, War Thunder is more than just a game. It has been a hobby, a passion, and a major part of their gaming lives for years. That is exactly why so many veteran players are concerned about the direction the game is taking.
The central argument is that War Thunder has become increasingly dependent on grind, fear of missing out (FOMO), and a constant stream of new vehicles rather than strong gameplay and meaningful innovation.
For nearly a decade, this model worked because there was an enormous backlog of famous tanks, aircraft, and military vehicles that could be added to the game. Every update brought something new and exciting for players to pursue. However, as that backlog begins to run out, critics argue that the quality of new content is declining. More copy-paste vehicles, repetitive premium releases, and low-effort additions have started to replace the unique and memorable content that once defined major updates.
At the same time, many players believe that the core gameplay has not evolved enough. Most battles still revolve around capturing points, draining tickets, and repeating the same formula match after match. Older game modes often provided more variety, teamwork, and a stronger sense that individual actions could significantly influence the outcome of a battle.
Balance concerns are another major source of frustration. Some players feel that certain nations receive more favorable treatment than others, while bug reports and historical evidence are not always evaluated by the same standards. Whether every accusation is justified or not, poor communication often fuels these perceptions and damages trust between the developers and the community.
Many critics also question the game’s development priorities. While new premium vehicles, event rewards, and additional grind opportunities continue to appear, long-standing issues such as sound design, map quality, game modes, tutorials, and overall quality-of-life improvements remain unresolved. New players in particular face a steep learning curve and often receive very little guidance from the game itself.
However, the responsibility does not lie entirely with Gaijin. The community also plays a role in creating the current situation. Players frequently criticize expensive premium vehicles and copy-paste content, yet many still purchase them. From a business perspective, sales are the clearest signal of what customers want. As long as these products continue to generate strong revenue, there is little incentive for the company to change course.
A powerful example of community influence occurred during the 2023 economy controversy. Following widespread criticism and a massive wave of negative reviews, Gaijin reversed several unpopular changes and publicly addressed player concerns. This demonstrated that organized, constructive feedback can have a real impact when the community acts together.
The proposed solution is not to abandon War Thunder or attack individual developers. Instead, players should support high-quality content, provide constructive feedback, and focus their criticism on decisions rather than people. By speaking with a unified voice and rewarding quality over quantity, the community can help shape the future of the game.
Ultimately, the message is simple: most players do not want War Thunder to fail. They want it to return to the qualities that made them fall in love with it in the first place—passion, innovation, authenticity, and enjoyable gameplay. For that to happen, both Gaijin and the community must be willing to change.

I’ve seen way too many people complaining about Gaijin doing this and that and then they proceed to buy the very next premium vehicle that comes around.
What’s worse, I’ve seen people complaining about OP premiums ruining the game for everyone. The very same premium they bought as well.
WT community is shooting itself in the foot by not voting with their wallet.

Unfortunately, management can’t admit that the current maps have been terrible for years, and they can’t fire the mapmakers and the people who make them.
The funniest thing is that if you open Steam and look at the reviews, the vast majority agree that they can’t make maps. Yet Gajin is doing nothing about it.
From this, I conclude that they don’t care. But how can they not care? What’s so hard about firing everyone and hiring new people who will properly understand the game from an outside perspective? I strongly suspect that the developers’ wives/girlfriends are in their positions. It sounds stupid, but I can’t think of any other reason why the company isn’t addressing the root of the problems within the team.

Warthunder could come to a brick of war with the community. If gajin wont fix this, they will fall to their end.

Do not worry mate.
We have an infantry mode no one asked for.
If we can’t grind vehicles we will just grind other kinds of weaponry 🇫🇷🦉
That way War Thunder will surely stand the test of time

Premiums should be copy-paste more often than tech-tree.
