Lets Talk about War Thunder

I am currently debating on making a video on WT and some changes we could have.

I like to have some input from the community before I decide on points I will keep or remove,
Please feel free to say if you feel that one is not an issue or if I’m missing a bigger one

The points

  1. BR’s
  2. USSR vs USA (or/and NATO)
  3. Historical vs picked data
  4. Endless Bugs benefits Russia for months
  5. Bugs in prems that benefit Prems for months
  6. maps and lack of fun we have
  7. IFVS are SPAA
  8. Radars in ground battles (CM are pointless)
  9. CAS and SEAD
  10. The player base, (Abuse, Racist chats)

Just put what you think and see how your video is taken. Everyone has their own opinion, not some hive mind priorities on what changes are wanted.

Best of luck.

As Coffee says. Do your thing. There are already too many people making videos just to please the moods and opinions of others.
I also had a YT channel years ago and it grew quite quickly. With 500 subscribers, I made a serious mistake. I did what they wanted. When I stopped doing what I had actually started doing, the numbers collapsed …
All the best for your project. o7

4- This is blatantly false. There are no bugs that benefit any tech tree let alone “Russia”.
I’d implore you look into bug reports in multiple languages.
8- Chaff works against ground radars.

I have no complaints about the rest of your points.
You might want more research on more than just the two complaints I presented though.

Good luck. Definitely won’t watch it, though.

What do you suggest? Tigers (6.0) fighting T-34’s (~3.3 - ~4.0) early models? Or Pvkv M/43 (63) (5.0) fighting T-64Bs (9.7)? There’s no much to change in BR except by very few vehicles I think people doesn’t like much their position.

Depending on game mode, if you mean specifically USSR vs NATO in general, you should check Simulator ground rotation for top tier, there isn’t much to say, it’s all vehicles from USSR fighting all vehicles from NATO in general.

You mean “Endless bugs benefiting anyone who takes advantages to it for months”?

In my opinion, most premiums are just copy paste from tech-tree counterparts or weaker version of it.

Play Wargaming’s games then, same theme: Tank x Tank but in better maps and more fun.

If you can use it, just do it, let’s be honest, if you have capability of elevating your cannon and it have high firing rate, why don’t use against flying targets?

I’m probably wrong about this, but CM means Countermeasure? I have no idea about SEAD too. I’m not much inside air vehicles question.

*Apparently is, so, Countermeasure aren’t useless at all, depending on BR or the radar type, you can easily trick its IRST by making it locking into flares that are substantially hotter than their Airplanes, specially the turbine jets ones like most equipped in Strike Aircraft like A-10s and Su-25s

If you have a moderation that only do something when the player got mass reports, I think you’re waiting for this kind of scenario if you doesn’t work to prevent this situation.


I think if you want to start some kind of discussion, at least leave your perspective of view about the topics mentioned.

I dont agree with some points on your list (1,4,5,6,)…others (2,3,7,8) i don’t even know what they are (assume it is a top tier thing). 10 i think is a hornets nest. 9 is a common thing…lots of videos on it.

I dont see the MOST important issue IMHO anywhere though…Economy and/or Reward system.

Anyway…you asked… :)
