Late WW2 heavies

You have hardly played any games .Come back when you know what you are talking about .

You are missing the point entirely

The Germans were experimenting with autoloader-assist technology for the Panther F before the war ended.

You dont need to be an expert to know that historical matchmaking is a bad idea. Admittedly, I aint have too many hours (still a large amount by any reasonable metric, but not by wt)

That doesnt mean I can’t speak from my own experience, nor does it mean that my point is invalid. Maybe stop stat-shaming and actually address the argument, please.

No ,historical matchmaking is great idea its just that Gaijin cant do it and that is that.

As for stat shaming sorry ,you issue is not stats its lack of experience,We all thought we knew the game at 2000 games then it all changes.No offence ,come back when you have 12000 games and see how differently you feel about so much of this game.

you don’t even need 200 games to see it’s a shit idea

No its a good idea and its the way the game should be .The fact that Gaijin cannot do it is the only reason they dont do it. In an ideal world WW2 tanks would only face WW2 and all tanks would play in their respective eras on the appropriate maps. Warthunder is sadly miles from that and never be that .Just as the BR issue will never resolved or the balance issues.You play modern tanks on the 1944 Normandy map because Gaijin cant do it any other way. Its not about bad or good ideas it is about what you are stuck with on this 12 year old game.

Until War Thunder 2 or a new more modern game comes out we are all stuck with the bad parts of this game and the likes of me and the OP will always complain about it but dont tell me historical matchmaking is a bad idea when it is the expectation of a game in 2024.

Brother what? He has thousands of missions

Your asking for era separation, separating pre-war and WW2 from cold war, which is not historical match making. Those are two very different things.

Still the problem with that is… who would want to play something that isn’t the very best of the era?

A million games wont make stupid people any more intelligent.

I know what I am asking for thanks.

He is saying that you don’t even need 200 matches, let alone 12000, to reach the conclusion that historical match making is generally a bad idea.

Which I agree with.

Ahh ok

So tell me how and why having the South African Concept 3 from 1980 in a game and line up with pretty much all WW2 Vehicles is a good idea then? Why is doing that so good ? What is so positive about it?

go play something like the sakeen and tell me you want it to go to 7.0 because it was made in 1946

Explain how the Concept 3 is unbalanced at its current BR in the first place, besides “it was made in 1980”.

And now also explain how the Concept 3 being placed against T-80s would be balanced.

I dont play past 5BR now so I coun’t give a toss.6BR and beyond was ruined by 109 spam .Playing as Russia recently at 6.7 was just boring in slow mostly unmodded tanks as light modern stuff dances around you and get 2 or 3 kills before you even get near the battle.The game is not about balance its about fun and in the realm of the late heavy it is no fun.

The Concept 3 is not in the same BR as the T80 so why would it be balanced against it? Further more people are still using the BT5 in mid tier by choice so what do they care about balance anyway? My point is that the Concept 3 was simply thrown in to fill a gaping gap in the UK tree not because it was “great Idea” .Many Brit players hate it.

The fact is War Thunder has faults and you guys think all the bad things the game does is by design ,no its because they cant do any better.

People are going to underline the games bad points as long as they exist and if Gaijin dont like that then they may as well close the forum.

You’re advocating for historical match making, are you not?

As you pointed out the Concept 3 was from the 1980’s. The T-80 MBT entered service in 1976. Therefore, the Concept 3 would face T-80s if historical match making were put to use.

Now, I ask again, how would that be balanced?
