I’d like to ask quite frankly: isn’t WarThunder on its last days?
What’s left that makes it appealing? Certainly not realism!!!
This past weekend once again provided the best examples of how a good game is being dragged further and further into ridicule:
A T46 destroyed an Object 120 with its 7.62mm machine gun
An Italian Leo 2A4 couldn’t kill a German Leo 2A4 with four shots. Shot 1: barrel; Shot 2: underside of the hull, frontal; Shot 3: ammunition rack; Shot 4: bottom of the turret, right between the crew
A T-90 Bishmal couldn’t kill a T-80U with three shots. Shot 1: front underside of the hull; Shot 2: side of the first road wheel; Shot 3: side of the ammunition compartment
An Abrams 1 survives a 1,000 lmp bomb
An Ariete at 10.4 cannot destroy a turret with a single shot; 3 shots to the ammunition compartment
An MI-28MN cannot be locked onto by a top-tier 12.7 AA. It doesn’t matter what missiles are used,
The side armor of a BMPT completely withstands a 650mm Leo 2A7 Dart.
One-Death-Leavers and a game changing factor
When spawning in a TopTier AA with side vehicle, after placing the side vehicle you are losing your spawn protection instantly.
… and so on and so on… and now the problems are across all nations.
Here my latest experience about one death leavers in my games
… Why should anyone still play this game???
The old-timers have enough units to change between ground and air and maybe water. And even those are complaining more and more, through Steam, through Google-Feedback and other platforms.
For newcomers ??? There is not even a chances
After more than 1,500 hours of tank playtime and over 30,000 battles, I find the decline of War Thunder truly sad.
And unfortunately, it seems Gaijin is still unwilling to steer the game back in the right direction, other than simply adding a) new units and b) new graphics with every update.
It’s seems like a big drop but it’s just that we have NE in April and it was the all time high in Steam, and people also use the regular client too so steam isn’t exactly accurate
War Thunder isn’t dead; in fact, it just has a lot of wasted potential. The direction the developers have taken has been questionable since late 2023 and became a real problem about six months ago; they’ve had plenty of time to fix the game’s issues, but they haven’t done so.
And a lot of more problems, like MAPS FIX YOUR MAPS FIX THE MAPS
Make real improvements instead of throwing just copy-pace units into the game. This is getting is buggy as heal and even getting more and more stupid. But it seems they you just do not care.
… by the way … looking really into the numbers, then you see that over the last three years, the max players are nearly the same and just the login’s are fluctuating. And even in this chart you see that since 2023 the average is on the same level.
And 38k accounts because of fraud reasons ??? Wow … according to your chart that s nearly 30%
This is only steam logins, doesn’t count regular launcher users (which generally is easier for referral fraud) or Xbox / Playstation. So in reality, it isn’t near to 30%. The no. of banned accounts is accurate I imagine though.
So… its not dying but staying consistent according to steam charts?
“WT is dead” is seen like every month or so, there’s posts 8 years old complaining about the posts saying the game is dying. I don’t think people realise a free game on Steam, Xbox and Playstation w/ basically zero competition isn’t gonna die unless they REALLY screw up their reputation that goes beyond military/vehicular communities. Especially not because Top Tier is in a bad state.
