Of course, your opinion is the most correct. You are not one of the millions of players in millions of games who complain that the game is not what it used to be.
To be precise, there is anime on Japanese vehicles. We all know that helicopter ))) But honestly, anime on tanks is the least of the game’s problems. The interface design probably hasn’t changed since the game’s release. While it was cool for 2014-2015, it’s definitely not for 2025. The horrible issues with balance and battle rating settings, constant nerfs to vehicles without mention in patch notes, major problems with map rendering, and much more are far worse. So, anime is the lesser evil here )))
There will always be people who tirelessly praise the developers no matter what they do, while ignoring obvious problems. Because of this, we get monthly news about new premium packs instead of bug fixes and game improvements.
I thought it’s about realistic combat style/range when I clicked in, only to find it’s about pillows… bro with actual combat styles nobody will see those decos, neither will no anime decos be realistic: We are always allowed to put those historical decos to vehicles that they don’t belong to…
Invalid. Where did i say i ^dislike^ PvP.
I said the game doesn’t have many game modes.
And i said some types of what a ^mode^ could be…
I name ^every man for himself ^ mode… and you say i dislike PvP , because you saw me to name that PvE is missing as well.
I don’t know, i don’t mind being the bad guy…
My point though is that the game could be way better. On the other hand i play from 2013, so yes it might be too repetitive for me ,while for newer players isn’t and maybe they don’t even know what i’m talking about (like the weekly events that were actually events and now a -just grind- event) .
It’s like the tools are there, but they don’t care to make it…
Meanwhile, check the new premium pack…just like you say.
Why it’s never ^check that new-asymmetric map design^ , or the new new ^XY gamemode^ .
Why don’t the give us an actual Air-superiority mode (the maps are already there) ? That would be fun , instead.
Air, ground, naval.
Arcade, realistic.
Simulator for air and ground.
Simulator EC for air.
Arcade and realistic EC for naval.
Helicopter PVE.
Assault arcade air and ground.
That is 14 game modes, before the map variety of each mode [mostly air and ground arcade and realistic].
Then you have the BRs which change how you see positioning and it gets complicated fast.
War Thunder has more game modes than Battlefield 4, and it has Battlefield’s game modes because PVP games are a tried and true system.
That’s class…
AB/RB/SIM are flight/FM characteristics.
That’s an event…only for naval. Not to mention it changes day after day and doesn’t count to BP etc.
I see it…Horrific implementations.
Man…
Modes :
TDM , some kind of objective type PvP , WW mode had some cool stuff in it. SPAA vs planes for example, dogfight mode/Air superiority… etc.
In my head i can create you 90 different modes… the maps are there.
They don’t use them.
Seriously , don’t try to tell me orange is red now. It’s boring to argue about stuff everyone that plays the game says and you always throw BS just to disagree…
I’m not even bashing GJ , i’m telling those modes THAT EXIST , release them for us to play.
Because the maps are already in game ,they don’t even have to work for it…
It’s not. It’s more you acting like a douchebag.
If you’re some history buff who gets physical ill looking at non period correct camo, decals or decorations. Then turn them off instead of going off your rockers.
It’s just a game. If people like their vehicles to be pink or orange or with monkeys on top, why would you care.
Edit: this flagging dystem is moronic.
I don’t care if people put stupid shit on it I just don’t want constantly to see anime shit I’m saying that because for me it’s like I see them every match
It just went too commercialize, all buff and nerf is just because is threaten their premium vehicle pack, so I blame the capitalism for this 😅
You could simply disable it in the game settings.
There are legitimate differences and simplifications introduced to the game to appeal to a wider crowd.
Certain flight models got simplified (control stiffening/compression being made far more forgiving, especially in earlier aircraft models like Bf109s easily able to pull out of high speed dives), wing rips became more generous (I distinctly recall people disintigrating way more often in RB (and thus SB) a decade ago from pulling too hard), damage models made more fragile (it’s very easy to cut someone’s tail off when it should just be severing of tail controls).
Beyond this,
RB had its max timer reduced from 60 to 25 minutes.
Map design has taken a steep nosedive towards optimizing fastest time to engagement even at cost of tactical gameplay and punishing vehicles that require more methodical approaches.
Graphically, it’s also a step down. While it is arguably more “photorealistic”…
Oil covering and blinding your frontal windscreen is gone. You still get it dirty but it washes off immediately.
The clouds don’t precipitate onto your canopy windows anymore.
There’s no more bullet holes and spiderwebbing in your canopy from bullets that hit your armoured glass or crack open your cockpit to let you know “you only lived by virtue of divine grace.”
SB EC went from having an active developer to being abandoned.
Also I’m all for anime stuff. It annoys wehraboos with names that should have banned them from day 1 (inciting violence against living and breathing human beings), I will encourage people to decorate their bf109s and tigers with stupid stuff just for the wehraboo suffering.
That’s right, but it’s not degradation, it’s simply change. I’m glad the game doesn’t just cater to hardcore sim pilots. They’re disgusting.
… 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?
