What happened to this game? Back in the day, it had good flak effects, it had long and drawn-out dogfights across the English Channel where thinking about how much fuel to take was a priority, it had Axis-Allied battles, Pacific battles where you could land on aircraft carriers, naval targets… all of this in RB, there were no maps cut with a red line… I miss the old Warthunder, it seems like this new game is far from keeping players engaged for 10 years like the old one.
Well i miss it too, but the fact is war thunder is way more stable and gameplay is better, but its just that map design and the increasingly growing playerbase that comes expecting high paced combat, and more favours modern vehicle with faster and faster paced combat. They dont care about if tanks are not accuratly used. As long as they get that target destroyed. They dont get satisfaction from planning and teamwork the same way.
Its quite sad to see that aspect of war thunder, the more strategical element die, to players that come to this game with a different mindset of what this game was and used to be that we all loved.
Summarised. New players are changing the gameplay to be better but map design, planning and teamwork is worse…
Players got better and more aggressive.
