How Was the Year in War Thunder: Rate the New Additions

In case someone wants some ideas or suggestions for what they want to send to Gaijin:

Spoiler

Bug fixes and fixing accepted vehicle inaccuracy reports needs to be the #1 priority.
In my opinion.

Only disappointment is how bad the M829A3 is and how unreliable it is overall compared to A2 other than that everything was perfect minus BMPT/72

Make sure to ask for BR decompression at the end of the form

WW2 era has been completely neglected. Half the time the few sprinkles of new WW2 aircraft are either event vehicles or premiums. Planes such as the FM-2 wildcat, Fw-190A-9, I-220 family, ju-86 and it’s many variants, TBMs, ju-89, B-23 dragon, P-40M, VL Myrsky, VL humu, i could go on and on about the still large amounts of interesting world war 2 and late interwar aircraft that are not added because we clearly need another su-30 and generic 6-8 wheeled IFV.

I had forum messages hidden for just even bringing up the fact that Ukraine is publishing a website that will contain 3d imagery, cut-aways, and even original schematics for things they have captured. I never even posted a link to the website, and only mentioned its name.

This guy is a serial whinger and wont stop until every british vehicle is moved down 3 BR steps

Yes we do need more light tanks, it took almost six years for a new wheeled light tank for the US. Its time they got more unique stuff besides Shermans and Abrams.

Ofc we need more across the board but the US has had almost non added to the game unlike some nations with 2-3.

as nice as new modern additions are, there was a large lack of low to mid tier additions for i want to say %50-%75 of the playerbase who don’t want to buy their way to the top, with such additions (For example) P-40M, M4A3 75, F4U-5, T29E3, M109A2 and other major/final variants of vehicles that ended up getting skipped to reach the modern age

Some good but also a bunch of bad. Free daily backups are nice but the ‘free ground vehicles’ are not very good without parts.

Also am I the only one who noticed it did not ask if you valued helicopter additions? Yet it asks infantry and naval?

At this point, I don’'t just want it as an option, I want it back, fully, and total elimination of the Hornet’s Sting update’s NAB. They need to revert these changes and return to the drawing board by actually communicating with naval players on what the community actually WANTS and has ideas for, rather than continuous changes that were never desired.

Trophy Labs isn’t releasing it to the public they’re releasing it to government agencies across the world.

It’s targeted to lesser nations but countries like the US and Britain don’t need it since they already know the capabilities on a classified level.

Trophy labs will benefits countries by allowing them to completely dismiss Russia for arms supply since they will have the schematics completely to themselves.

At the end of the day, Gajin isn’t going to nerf ERA relikt even with evidence of the front lines showing penetration and catastrophic explosions from a 25 mm bushmaster and ATGM.

You don’t need to be a government agency to request the information. Besides the 200 different weapons manufactures who requested access, you also have research institutes also being included into the process. Heck even a specific military unit can request access as long as their command structure has authorized it.

The survey would take a lot more time for me, because I would actually have to go back and read again what each update brought. It is not like they are not interesting, but I don’t really remember specific updates and their additions and I am looking forward to hidden things in updates more rather than poster page vehicles and stuff.

EDIT: Ok, so for anybody who struggles to remember what came in each udpate here is the list of “Meet the update” with nice summary on War Thunder news page:

The only time this game was fun was until they implemented the F-16 and MiG-29. After that, especially in the past year and a half, more than half of the added aircraft were copy & paste, and only modern vehicles kept being added, which was just unpleasant to look at.

It got passed and landed on fine ears. Sometimes it does at least. Yak130 nerf confirms that. Community complained about it a lot and it got nerfed. And a4e sits at same spot because ppl werent as vocal about it.
Also notice how during prev br changes m1a1 remained at same 11.3 br and got moved only after community fairly pointed that out.

Said sometimes because cough cough su30mk2/mkk cough cough 13.3 cough cough
