what does any of that do with having a combined european tech tree

i support and understand the justification behind adding each of those 4 vehicles
Fair enough, but I’m mainly talking about top-tier ground battles here. I know lower ranks still have plenty of variety.
The problem is that after spending years grinding multiple nations to top tier, you increasingly end up with very similar tanks.
I’m not saying Gaijin should stop adding Leopards. I just wish there were more unique options at top tier.
The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of normal players play 1 or 2 tech trees. Your average player is very happy having variety because they simply won’t put in the time to go through a whole new tree so they can play 1 new tank
And everyone wants more unique options, but there just are not many vehicles irl that can compete at top tier and are unique. Countries don’t go around buying leo 2s while having a super weapon sitting in their garage

I agree that some overlap is unavoidable. My concern is simply how much variety we’re losing at top tier, especially for players who grind multiple nations.
Sometimes I look through the suggestions and I get sad because of how good this game can be, and what we have now with gaijin
That’s a fair point. I can see why players who only play one or two nations would be happy with this.
But for those of us who play multiple nations, it feels like we’re being asked to grind the same tanks over and over again.
I guess Gaijin is catering more to the first group.
Exactly. War Thunder has so much potential. Sometimes I feel like Gaijin cares more about keeping us grinding than actually making the game more fun.
The first group is the one that doesn’t already have their soul locked in already lol
They can add all the c&p they want and it won’t ever stop me from playing this vile game
the problem is there kinda arent? excluding like korea which is being planned and tech demonstrators like abramsX there are remarkably few wholly unique vehicles left to add, mostly just derivatives and variants left
Haha, I guess Gaijin already owns our souls at this point. xD
I would actually grind if there was fun stuff to grind for and have fun whilst grinding like it used to be
War thunder has always had its problems but it was fun and there was stuff to look forward to
Now I feel like its just over and somehow there is a divine block on the developers from actually creating a good game
Not exactly like Gaijin are forcing everyone to do an identical grind nowadays either, daily boosted games helps a ton.
Exactly. Grinding was never the real problem. Grinding for something exciting was part of the fun. Now it often feels like we’re just grinding for another slightly different version of something we already own.

That’s what I’m saying too. If you actually go through the suggestions and look at top tier viable stuff, you see that T80s, Leos, and Abrams are all that people actually suggest. Because that is all that there is left

Sure, daily bonuses help with the grind. But my issue isn’t how long it takes. It’s whether the tank I’m grinding is actually worth the effort when I already have almost the same thing in another nation.
People could just, you know, enjoy playing the game. That’s the secret to grinding after all. Just don’t make it the goal
Yeah, that’s exactly the problem. We’re running out of truly new top-tier MBTs. Maybe Gaijin needs to focus more on improving gameplay instead of just adding another Leopard, Abrams or T-80 every update.
That’s true. But having something exciting to unlock makes playing even more enjoyable. That’s what I miss.
brother have you not looked at this update? theyve shown that they are capable of doing both

haha lmao
Unfortunately this is a real life parctice, in every country you will find similar cars, wolkswagen, ford, bmw etc. There are differences in terms of features but visually the cars look very similar. Production lines are stream lined and made so that vehicles get produced at maximum efficancy, same goes for weapons industry. The way this can be solved is by simply not including these vehicles in game for 4 or 5 nations. A good example is the 2A8, Sweden does not need its since it has the Strv 123 model. The 2a8 should be an exclusive German vehicle.
