I dont think a “Hey, yes its still being developed, here are something features being worked on, and no, we dont know when it will be ready” post would go amiss. Its been in development for like 3 or 4 years now I think and I dont recall ever really seeing a post about it anywhere
I agree with most of what was said here. The fact that Gaijin balance vehicles by user performance is absurd and allows better players to seal club in under B.R’d aircraft and tanks etc whilst also making other aircraft over B.R’d (Hello anything that can turn and has cannons).
Vehicles should also be built to be historically accurate and be balanced by the vehicles individual performance and stop listening to the cries of the playerbase because they refuse to learn the behaviour of certain vehicles. Gaijin has been way too soft in this regard with multiple vehicles and the previously mentioned APHE, don’t forget Shvak’s as well… the widely known weak cannon of WW2 that can eviscerate bombers because some (not all) RB players cried on the forums… not to mention the “content creators”.
On top of all of this we need more immersion, aircraft sounds are incredibly weak. Give us the old sounds from Birds of Steel where the Tempest/Dora/P-38 practically roars at you when you use WEP. Give us back the damaged cockpits and oil splatters over the windscreen. Make it visceral again instead of the boring sterile game it has become. In regards to sound remove the wind sound and make the external/canopy open effect play with the canopy closed in cockpit view.
In regards to immersion give us historical matches as well even if they’re a limited time event, maybe give increased rewards to go with them. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Historical EC’s or just regular matches like the Battle of Britain event etc.
Come on Gaijin you have these battles at your disposal, just activate them again.
