Is it April fools time already? (Eastern Europe, is it even a map anymore?)

@RunaDacino
The original poster of this topic that I of course agreed with; we agree on a lot of things.

Also, I accuse his post of arguing for COD, not him; as I want him to better write his post.

Your post’s attempt at gaslighting is noted.

@BalticSAS
Keep claiming that F-16D Barak and I are defending Gaijin for opposing the changes to Eastern Europe.
All you do is prove us right through your posts advent defense of Eastern Europe’s changes by attacking people criticizing it without fake images.

Constructive criticism is healthy.
Stop attacking WT’s critics.

Explain what the hell is an F-16D BARAK.

Do not fall back on other users to defend your opinion, and I believe you have it confused between the word critic and shill.

What is wrong about my opinion that Eastern Europe should remain as it is on live?
Tell me?
How does opposing Eastern Europe’s changes make F-16D Barak, myself, and thousands of others “shills”?

The Gaijin Developers are openly against the long range capabilities of Ground based armored warfare:

Everyone in this thread wants the changes reverted, what you are doing is replying to satire and taking it as god’s word, just relax a bit and stop being offended by people criticising Gaijin, it’s not your job to stop them.
The OP does a good job showing the decline in quality of maps and it’s becoming an increasingly common trait in Gaijin’s map design team to slice off chunks of the map to funnel a majority of gameplay into specific sightlines and urban areas.

I can’t see your aim in joining this thread in the first place, no one is ‘begging for all of War Thunder to be COD’ you have imagined that and spun it into some narrative against Uebermacht.

That was sarcasm. I hate the change. And for me the map is quite old, how old a map has to be to be classified as old is pretty subjective.

Pacifica is a forum mod, not a game developer, I respect his opinion but it does not reflect that of the developers as you are portraying it to be. However it does seem like gaijin’s map design team is struggling to innovate with their maps and instead reverting to single lane maps, especially when russian tanks still have the most favourable frontal survivability across most BRs

Hehehe i love that screenshot. That post of his was not very well thought through.

I would love to have the quote “this is not a sniping game” as a decal and put it onto my Sturer Emil.

Fair, but Forum mods/Admins also represent the Devs. So it is plausible together with the map changes to assume that Pacifica represents the official stance of the Development Team here.

Of course just a theory.

The issue with this screenshot is it genuinely lacks context, and the fact you even have it stashed, shows a want to pull it out in times like this.

(Edit - I’m being critical and directly questioning motive)

I have it stashed now aswell, and i will pull it out whenever i can.

If it’s misrepresented in context and making out it applies to everything, then that’s a terrible idea and reeks of bad faith and deception…

Much the same as this damn map misrepresentation…

But I suppose, that’s just you showing a genuine trait.

(Edit - Again, Nope.)

Your post should’ve been worded better and not include the image as part of the body.
Maybe I shouldn’t be as upset at the fake image as I am.

It’s just far easier to link the topic where people should vote…

I’m not mad at you, as you know my post only addressed your post, not you.
After all, I agree with you that the changes should be reverted.
I just heavily disagree with the method you used for the post; partially due to my reaction to fake images being passed off as fake yesterday prior to these topics.

@BalticSAS
Ask questions instead of making assumptions.
I’m mad at the fake images due to a friend of mine believing one of them to be a sincere change and me having to calm them down.

what would make this cool is if the bridges were destructible instead of being destroyed from the start

Let us look at this post together:

OP (Uebermacht) starts with:

These two questions express shock and unbelief about the changes to the map.

The picture shows to the reader of the post the subject of the unbelievable thing that has happened. OP follows with a statement exactly depicting the situation at hand, describing what has changed in comparison to the live map.

OP then follows up with:

This sentence is satirical in nature. How do we know this?
It is written so that when you speak it out loud, it sounds like a heavy German accent.
The statement in itself; “You WILL drive frontally at the enemy and you WILL like it”; is also an amalgamation of Gaijins recent behavior. Forcing the playerbase to play on smaller and smaller maps consisting of only a few corridors.
It is therefore written from the perspective of Gaijin, forcing these map changes upon us players. And because we cannot do much against these changes, it is implied that we have to like these changes.

Honestly this image shows the map quite accurately. I must admit, it is a little too much red on the lower/south side, but all in all it shows the state of the map quite well. And also how ridiculous the changes are.
So not really a fake image.

In his last paragraph OP goes and talks about his/hers/idk feelings about these changes to this map, but also the changes to the other maps.

At the very end OP questions the reason for this behavior:

I hope I could bring clarity into this post.
@Uebermacht please tell me if I got something wrong

I’m also confident it’s a pop-culture reference to one of the american/british dystopic novels. Which one; I do not know as my literarture class was mostly reading 19th century russian and soviet stuff, but I swear I’ve seen it referenced elsewhere.

@DiamondCraftLP
I’ve yet to see a map on live server that has lost flanking opportunities, and I’m a chronic flanker.
As I said, this’ll be the first.

So if that is the companies take on the game why do they stuff the tech trees with utter useless garbage which was not designed to go face to face with main tanks, all the armored cars, SPAA, light tanks all need to be removed from the game.
As stated by the company they have no use or purpose in the game except to offer up easy kills, they try to balance them which leads to time travel anomalies and other such weirdness.
Seems like the player base are being played like a bunch of chumps ?
