Imagine you were born in Berlin and are a Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf B “Tiger II”， One of the symbols of German tanks during World War II. Looking to your left, there is a row of the most famous WWII heavy tank, the Mouse tank. Looking above your head, the ME262 is the world’s earliest jet fighter. You seem to have immersed yourself in the struggle of the trapped beasts before the fall of Nazi Germany. When you were about to experience the late World War II battles, you were suddenly hit by a guy from the right: a PZH2000 belonging to the Bundeswehr from 50 years later? Then you were sent back to the garage by 155mm HE accurately located by laser rangefinders from PLZ05 or K9 on the opposite side
Guys, don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous to have a group of modern self-propelled howitzers from 2000 to fight against cars from World War II or early Cold War? Not to mention that they even fought evenly among themselves. We know that gaijin weakened PZH2000 and PLZ05 to maintain balance, but they themselves should have higher BR to fight against vehicles of similar age in their reality. I suggest returning the weakened firing rate of modern self-propelled howitzers, while enhancing the damage of modern HE over 8kg to armored units to make them closer to reality, equipping them with artillery correction drones and even laser GPS guided shells guided by drones, as well as restoring the ability of self-propelled howitzers to adjust the initial velocity of shells and realistic curved fire control. Then let this group of modern self-propelled artillery participate in battles that are in line with or at least close to their era, allowing them to play their supporting role on a larger map
the game isnt balanced on era tho. Tiger 1 can face milan ATGM missiles.
I do agree modern artillery is horribly undertiered tho. the PZH, k9 and anything like it should be significantly higher

Makes total sense from a perspective of immersion, makes no sense in the context of war thunder
It makes no sense to have the howitzers in the game in the first place.
That’s not true at all, it’s a vehicle combat game not a ‘tank game’
If you want histotical immersion, i suggest playing a game that does that.
War thunder is a vehicle sandbox/tankery style game.
It all started long ago with the introduction of France…
Placing modern SPHs much higher would basically kill their usability, as most of their pros would be negated.
You should go to the tank battle mode of the IL-2 games.
You will see authenticity, so much so that you will surely come back to WT
Well…War Thunder used to be just that.
It started with WW2 only plus a handdful of Korean War era stuff.
