Sir, there are bug fix patches at least once a week, usually multiple times a week.
I once had Steam update 3 separate times in 6 hours one day and I got heavily annoyed at that.
Also without money the bug fixing team can’t get paid.
If they were good at their jobs, there wouldn’t be so many bugs to fix. I don’t know how old you are, but when I was young, we didn’t have twenty million bugs and an update once a week.
Yeah, for me, I think I don’t need to rush too much on this battle pass
And maybe I can try some other games like ‘Kingdom Comes 2’ in leftover times XD
Somewhat similar to 80 days of vacation?
How old are we talking here? Baldur’s Gate II, Age of Empires II or Ultima II. I played all of those growing and I think its fair to say that if you compared the scale of what the companies and their respective projects then, to what war thunder is doing in terms of scale and complexity, I feel they’d be fairly evenly matched.
I remember buying icewind dale II when it came out and then having to wait for what felt like an eternity for a patch that fixed a random gamebreaking crash in one of the first dungeons. Or the amount of games that never booted up at all due to hard/software incompatibilities. Worst thing still was there were hardly any bulletin boards or forums discussing fixes. I remember reading magazines to find solutions to broken games that I had given up on only to enjoy them months or years after purchasing.
God of War, Resident Evil, and the Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga old.
Oh wow, you’re a baby, bum fluff for whiskers, yeah I can empathise with console players having certain expectations for video game stability but it comes at the massive hidden tax on scope, features and graphics.
Hey man, I just grew up poor. I didn’t have internet until 2012. My back, knees, and my right ear will tell you I’m not young… mainly it’ll tell you how bad it sucks being in a war without proper protection.
I give up man, I don’t even know what the f*ck we’re talking about anymore.
Same. All in all, as the meme goes, “your game is bad, you should feel bad”. Seriously, I might have nostalgia for old games, but I never saw this many bugs and glitches in old Call of Duty games, Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, God of War 1-3, any of the old Lego games, Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, the funny Temple game with the pixel chick, or any of my childhood games. Honestly, the fact there are so many bugs is reason alone to allow console players the ability to play Realistic and Sim with crossplay disabled.
To be honest, the general vibe I get from your topics and comments is more along the lines of “I feel bad, therefor the game is bad, and you should feel bad too”. I’m not a psychologist and I assume you know better than to take anything I say too seriously but I get the feeling that you’ve invested a fair bit of time into this game, and at somepoint along the way you stopped having fun but continued to play out of habit or some other reason, and it’s making you bitter and resentful. It’s easier to assume that the game changed for the worse as opposed to you changing and no longer finding the game enjoyable.
War Thunder has good things and it has bad things, but it rarely deserves all the abuse and backlash it gets because some people aren’t having as much fun as they think they should be.
P.S. I’m not trying to stick up for the game or defend it, it’s just that It’s almost impossible to have interesting and productive conversations about the game, it’s features, ideas and concepts when so many people insist on dragging it down into the shitty muck of unfulfilled dreams and resentment

Is the battle pass worth it? Doesn’t that simply translate to the question:
Can you afford the battle pass and actually buy it?
Imho, this is more a question of what is asked from me for what result. The 2000 GE are to me the least part of what is requested for the pass. I could have gotten it for free, but I didn’t feel like making the contribution time wise.
And here opinions may differ widely. I’d go for a rank3 3.0 plane anytime. Much better to me than a modern dutch light tank. I also like the new french boat reward. But in terms of value:
These things cost like 5 Gjn in the market. Why bother with the pass?
If you afford the pass regularly, you probably buy premium at the annual or semi-annual price. So it is worth about 200 GE. That is not a game changer.
Only that you often have them all. And the talismans rarely land where they are appreciated.
Of course, for a relatively new player, the pass may well be worth it. But personally, I just don’t like to commit the time when there is nothing in it that I want that I couldn’t get without committing the time.

One thing I haven’t been able to get out of my mind about battle passes as a whole, War Thunder in particular is that they’re essentially short selling us. They actively betting on player sunken cost, and having to shell out additional money to finish the battle pass that they already paid for.
Depends on what you’re hoping to get from it. The vehicle rewards are lazy garbage. The trophy box has a couple of decent vehicles. The warbond shop has rank III this time, some of which are pretty good, along with bushes. But comparing this battle pass’ rewards to seasons 1-6, it’s complete and utter trash.
Oh no, you hit it on the head. I invested too much time, have too much too tiers, and now I’m bored and have nothing else to fall back on since all my friends play War Thunder. It just sucks that there’s no good documentaries that I want to watch.
I don’t quite see it that way as one can simply wait to have reached “the objective” and then buy. This is usually what I do.

That’s a really good point, I am ashamed to admit that I get suckered into the incremental rewards…
Something like this?:

No worries. He seems to have put a lot of work into it, it deserves some eyes on it.
From my perspective, free part of this BP fulfills my needs: bush crate plus french curiosity taken on the way.
So it is worth it. At least for me. And it is worth my time, not my money.
