… what.
A game being turned more arcadey and losing its spirit is a good thing?
You have to be a troll.

Oh, really? I’ve been playing this game since 2011. Don’t tell me we’re lost!
Let me tell you a little story about trolls, haha!
In the beginning, when the game only involved planes, the developers tried to attract an audience, including sim pilots. They formed the core group of the first players. And it was hell. They were angry and narcissistic and reacted aggressively to all changes in the game aimed at a wider audience. Although Gaijin always made this kind of game, it was never a hardcore simulator.
When tanks appeared in the game, many new players joined, including those from WoT. At that time, the Pony clan was formed on the Ru forum. And it began a real war. XD These sim pilots called on the developers to kick them all out of the game. They wanted everyone banned.
I think this was the idea behind the first April Fools’ Day event in 2013 featuring flying ponies. The developers made their choice, and from that moment on, all the sim pilots disappeared. The game then turned from a niche project for a hundred history fanatics into one of the most popular games.
The game isn’t perfect and has many flaws, but I think it improved when it started attracting a wider audience.
From day one, the game has always been arcade. I know, I was here on the first day.

Yup! 100%
Has Gaijin gotten more money hungry? Yes
Has Gaijin neglected improving gameplay? Yes
Has Gaijin made very anti-player choices? Yes
“the game is loO00osing touch with all the g0oN3r skins and GoOneR decals and all the things that i personally dislike!!!”
The actual issue is that you’re tired of the game and pointing fingers at the most minor things that you personally don’t agree with as the cause of you own internal frustrations and failings. If the tiny amount of anime content was actually an issue, you would have disabled it and moved on with your day.
You instead came onto the forums to moan about a non issue. I implore you to look around the forum at countless posts outlining actual issues and to contribute to real discussion that could actually improve the game.

Homeboy I can’t choose to disable one thing If I choose to disable non historical stuff all of the funny faces that people are making with the nose art and every other decal it is not historical will also get disabled I just don’t like seeing anime stuff in my game everything else is fine I don’t care

Good. You asked for history, so enable the historical setting. You’re asking for non historical decals now are you?

You mean this rain on cockpit?
The minimum maps today are larger than the average maps in 2015.
Not only that but infantry maps are 200x200 meters - 800x800 meters, the smallest WT map is still over 1x1km with the average being 2x2km.
War Thunder hasn’t added a small map in years.

Come on, all this talk about the game losing out just because you don’t like the anime? Are you kidding?

Look here I just want more historical skins and stuff like that like look at the last Skins they have added for vehicles
And look what they did in a past
Is not that I complain about anime stuff it’s that most of the shit that there are adding cosmetically recently is genuinely low effort Like even a year ago they added multiple genuine historical skins for all of the Nations like Blue Angels and stuff like that and now it’s just this random stuf it looks like it was drawn by a child look here I’m not trying to argue in circles I’m saying is I just feel sad that people started ignoring historical/semi historical stuff
and its not that thay completely ignore it they do add one or two historical skins or semi historical and like 10 random child paint splatters
Look here
I repeat, you only see what you want to see. You have invented a reason for feeling offended.

Fly into a cloud in IL2: Battle of Moscow or other GB pack.
Now, recall Warthunder used to be the same.
Now do it in Warthunder.

ok
Cope lol, you’re not forced to look at it (you can hide fictional decals and whatnot) and it adds more personality to the game
This is pretty much the same as getting mad at a piece of media because it included a couple lines in a foreign language. It doesn’t effect or harm you, you’re just choosing to be mad at it
Also, anime and Vtubers are not explicitly gooner content, you’re just choosing to make a glaring generalization here (the stuff in WT partially is but if we include all CC decals into the conversation then yeah, very big generalization)

Yeah sure buddy
Also, I agree with your points on skins and whatnot and I want more historical ones, but some of the fictional camos are beautiful ngl (look at Argon, Krypton, and the other one)

Look here I agree with you completely bro I’m not saying you should remove the skin or not add them I’m just give it at least 50/50 Because I don’t know if I’m tweaking or not but it feels like for every historical skin we get three or four Low effort skins

Part of that though is that most historical stuff is semi-simplistic, but yeah we need a lot more higher effort stuff ingame. Same goes for fictional camos too, I’ve seen some really low effort ones and then there’s the stunning ones (like XVII the Smth for the JAS-39A)
