I’d like to know the criteria for the issue area

I just took a quick look through the Issues section, and I’m wondering how the moderators there decide whether a player’s report is right or wrong. Do they compare real-world vehicle stats—drawing on official data from various countries—to what’s in the game to point out discrepancies? Most of what you see boils down to “not a bug” or “not enough information.” So I’d like to ask: how do the moderators (or call them adjudicators) determine whether a player’s claim is valid? If it is, they’ll often cite concerns about leaks (and sometimes just stick with those two standard replies); if it isn’t, it’s quickly labeled “not a bug.” Even seasoned players who’ve logged countless hours in War Thunder’s match‑making system have their own takes, yet why do developers so often brush off feedback on game balance? And why do some issues that have been acknowledged still only receive an “approved” response without any substantive update?

When posting in Chinese, make sure when looking in “Categories” to pick “National Communities” and then “中文分论坛”

You would have to translate when posting on the english forums
Cheers!

The Community Bug Reporting System, CBRS for short, it’s a strange place. Firstly the name suggest that you should use to report bugs, is an vehicle innacuracy a bug or just missing feature? Then you have the suggestion format which at the end of the day if you look carefully probably could be used to 80% of stuff posted in the CBRS—like missing features, wrong values, etc. “Not a Bug”? Try posting as a suggestion.

“Accepted”? It was just forwarded to developers as consideration. Just like suggestions passed to developers doesn’t means it will be implemented in the short term, it’s relative to the issue complexity, and choice of the developer to implement or not. At the end of the day the Community Bug Reporting System is just a branch, a type, of suggestion, the developers are not obligated to fix the issue or add the missing feature, realism in War Thunder is just marketing, historical accuracy is just selling points.

I doubt. Seriously speaking would you have the skill, knowledge to analyse and approve a report? I don’t. I think technical moderators are players just as we are, and certainly volunteers. But also I don’t think they should simply close a report with “Not a Bug” as reason without the original poster being able to contestate, add more details and etc. I think that they will simply close a report to not extend further the conversation because it’s simply out of their control or and knowledge.

Not official but still good advice.
