Thanks for the response, but I think you’re missing the actual point I’m raising.
I’m not confusing national holidays with historical events like Victory Day. What I’m pointing out is the clear pattern in how different nations are treated in War Thunder. Russian-related events — like Victory Day — often get significant in-game content, including vehicles, portraits, and more, while events for other countries (like U.S. Independence Day, D-Day, or Japanese and Chinese national days) usually receive just a decal, if anything at all.
Saying the Soviet Union made the “main contribution” in WWII is a historical perspective, but it shouldn’t be used to justify why only one nation regularly receives major rewards. Many countries contributed significantly to the war effort, and if Gaijin truly wants to present a balanced, global view of history, then in-game content should reflect that — not appear biased.
Also, saying that Russia’s Independence Day only gets decals doesn’t address the bigger issue — Russian vehicles and events consistently get more attention and content, while other nations are sidelined. That’s what long-time players are noticing, and that’s where the frustration is coming from.
But of course. Don’t you know that russia won WW2 all by itself? Austria superman cried and ran away when he saw commie superman’s bigger super stache. True excerpt from official russian school textbooks.
You see, the holidays you’re talking about are national. While the victory over Germany is a world event. In any case, name me at least one more event when the USSR receives vehicle.
I understand what you’re saying, but the issue isn’t about whether the event is national or a world event. It’s about consistency and balance in the rewards for different countries. If Gaijin is going to celebrate WWII and the victory over Germany, it should feel like a more global commemoration — not just a celebration of one nation.
As for your question, Russia gets vehicles during events like Victory Day, and that’s a regular occurrence. Compare this to other nations, like the U.S., where Independence Day or Memorial Day don’t have vehicle rewards, or events for countries like Britain, Japan, or China, where vehicle rewards are rare.
The main concern here is that the balance feels off, and it’s frustrating to see some nations constantly getting major rewards, while others are left with just a decal. It’s not about debating who contributed more in WWII — it’s about giving all nations fair and equal treatment in-game.
They legally can’t use any information from them if they are classified and that puts the security of the US and NATO nations who utilize American equipment at risk
Gaijin Entertainment was founded in Russia
Russia was fighting Japan for a very short period of time (officially declaring war on August 8th, the day before Nagasaki was bombed) and America received scrutiny for their use of the atom bomb due to them not giving Russia any ounce of notice and using them to sorta “speedrun victory” as the allied powers were already not very happy with having the Soviets included in peace talks. Infact, the reason their V-Day is celebrated on the 9th was because Soviet officials were not included in the day prior’s official surrender, and as such they had to hold their own private surrender. This is also because the initial surrender gave the Soviets little control over what would occur
? I think you replied to the wrong person? All I mentioned was that Gaijin is Russian and that they can’t legally use classified documents, my edit about them defeating Japan was only after you made that reply as well
It would be fair if Gaijin also celebrated September 2nd as the official end of WW2 and the defeat of Japan, and made a corresponding event with rewards for the allies. But they didn’t do that. Again, Independence Day, etc. are national holidays. Not world holidays like World War II.
As a Russian game, gaijin once again made a mistake with Russian tanks. Just like the T-34/85 (D5T), there are also issues with the modeling of this one. You can compare historical photos and see that the position of the inducer wheel in the modeling is too high, resulting in unnatural lifting of the track.
