The game is becoming more popular, attracting more players, not all of whom are fans of history.
The game is getting better.

well me making this post wasn’t really to complain about body pillows and stuff like that it’s more to complain about a lack of a historical decals decoration profile pictures and stuff like that but we get anime stuff instead

They added fictional tag to most of if not all of them recently, so unless you check the box to see it you wont. Only thing people generally see is semi/historical. Some decorations need the fictional tag tbh thats about it.

Im pretty sure its off by default maybe its enabled in arcade by default? Thats why i dont bother with anything but historical camos anymore, no point in spending money on stuff 99% of ppl wont see.

Seriously? Maybe you should take a look at the huge number of topics about holidays, like these
or
It seems to me that you only see what you want to see. You have invented a reason for feeling offended.

Yes but not really for the reasons you describe, the devs have gutted any sense of immersion from the game from RB matchmaking, the maps themselves, all nations having the same vehicles and rarely if ever running historical events.

This doesn’t work for decorators like the pillows, as they do not have a fictional tag assigned to them.
There’s no way to hide them.
Edit - Turns out they are fictional. I’m a misinformed charlatan. Ignore this comment lol.

I think they should add a tag to decorations and allow some to be turned off, but only if bushes are classified as fictional.
There are 6 body pillows, and I don’t think there are any Vtuber decals. This is just a consequence of the weeb and military history community having substantial overlap.

Game hasn’t been about military vehicles and their history since like… 2022 or earlier when they started gutting air rb of its uniqueness related to historical elements.

The touch that brought me to the game left in the updates following the original F-16A.
I can not imagine coming to this game now in it’s current state. For me coming to play after watching YouTubers for some years was perfect back in 2017-18. I don’t even know how people get into this game nowadays, the days of phly and blitz, baronvongames, etc is over.
Still play the game though and can’t imagine not playing it, it’s like a bad addiction nowadays though.
At least I’m not spending that much money on WT anymore
Edit: didn’t really read the OP, I could care less about the gooner stuff. But I feel there is a lot of stuff with WT that has fallen off. Hopefully it doesn’t become as bad as WoT
Stories like these are part of every game, and they always will be.
A player comes to the game, likes it, is happy with everything, and then gets bored and starts saying that it used to be better. Even though nothing has changed.
Trust me, people said this before you, and they’ll say it after you too. And the game will stay the same.

“nothing has changed”
your blindness is not my blindness
They do have fictional tag, they used to not. I took all mine off my funny vics when they added the tag.
Good, because applying fiction to decorations would be controversial, especially when almost all of them have been used or thought of being used on tanks.
@Ion_Protogen
The issue is when pillows are correctly labeled historical and that annoys people that don’t know history.
Or they’re labeled fiction which annoys the history buffs.
I have ‘except fictional’ on all my settings, yet I still see pillows every battle.
weird I’ve never seen them
I just checked mine they have the tag

Though, tbf, I do also think I’m experiencing something of a bug in this regard.
There have been many instances where, in a battle, I’ll notice a fictional decal I should not in theory be seeing, check my settings, and for whatever reason the game just decided to change itself back to show all.
I then change it back to except fictional, check it’s still that it hangar, and when I join another battle it just magically decides to change itself back to show all again.
I tried to troubleshoot this, by removing any and all fictional stuff from my own vehicle (thinking maybe if I was using them - it would turn the setting back on for others), but even doing that, the setting still keeps changing on its own.
It oddly only ever happens to the realistic option. AB / Sim never does this.
Interesting. Did it always have that?
Well, thank you for correcting me anyway.
God only knows why I’m still seeing pillows every game then haha.
