This is a plea to all arcade gamers, and I see others have similar thoughts! Could an administrator please forward this feedback to the developers? Quite a few players are experiencing this issue.
Issue Description and Suggestions
Lack of Distinction Between Arcade and Realistic Battles: Ammunition Resupply Mechanism Needs Adjustment
Currently, in Arcade Battles, ammunition boxes can only be used once per match, making Arcade Battles nearly indistinguishable from Realistic Battles.
Suggestion: Arcade Battles should emphasize their “entertainment-oriented” nature; therefore, ammunition boxes should reset to usable status each time a vehicle respawns.
Casual players in Arcade Battles prefer abundant ammunition for a more enjoyable experience. Restricting ammunition usage contradicts the core design philosophy of the Arcade mode.
Issues with the Missile Mechanism for Light Tanks
In Arcade Battles, light tanks that rely on missile-based combat are severely impacted because they cannot resupply ammunition boxes during the match.
The recent changes that removed the cooldown-and-reload mechanism for missiles further reduce their functionality, making the gameplay experience of these vehicles almost identical to that of Realistic Battles.
Note: The previous cooldown-and-reload mechanism had a significantly longer duration compared to the resupply time of ammunition boxes. The resupply from ammunition boxes was much faster, whereas the cooldown-and-reload process was slower. Players familiar with the Arcade mode would recognize that, for missile vehicles, the resupply time within the capture zone and the cooldown-and-reload time were entirely different.
Suggestion: Restore the previous cooldown-and-reload mechanism for missiles to preserve the entertainment-focused identity of Arcade Battles.
The essence of Arcade Battles lies in being “relaxed” and “exciting,” and the cooldown-and-reload system for missile vehicles provides continuous combat fun, which should not be weakened to the level of Realistic Battles.
Core Appeal: More Ammo, More Fun!
The goal of Arcade Battles is to offer a significantly different experience from Realistic Battles and provide players with a more thrilling and carefree combat experience.
The current changes limit player options and diminish enjoyment, especially for vehicles equipped with missiles (notably light tanks).
We hope the development team will consider this feedback and improve the ammunition system in Arcade Battles to better align with its core focus on “fun” and its distinction from Realistic Battles.
