Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

it’s gonna be like the Naval EC mode for a bit

But you are missing my point? You are poopooing the use of the term copy-paste for certain situations but then advocating for using the word clone instead, when they are quite literally like for like synonyms?

I appreciate that you are making distinctions between exact copy pastes, historical copy pastes, gameplay copy pastes etc, but I wholeheartedly fail to see how the introduction of a new word into the situation, that means the exact same as the existing terminology, is in any way a meaningful difference?

Not to mention, as already discussed, a ‘legitimate variant’ is a wholly subjective term that will mean different things to different people. Does an engine or main armament change make a vehicle a ‘legitimate variant’? Almost certainly. What about some new optics? Potentially, depends how different they are? New smoke launchers? Maybe. New stowage boxes? Maybe not. New headlights? Eh. New camouflage? Probably not. At what point do you draw the line as to what makes a variant ‘legitimate’?

As I have said from the very beginning of this conversation, this is simply not set in stone and doesn’t fit into neat little boxes no matter how many new words and phrases you try and throw at the situation.

What does that mean (I dont play naval)

cant wait to see the Puma Fixes :D
Armor getting more fixed
Puma name Fix :)

it be a tempt game mode while they work on it it come down then go back up then slowly starts become a cycle game mode until a permeant game mode

The video originally used an extremely clickbait thumbnail before it was changed. It showed War Thunder supposedly having 144,000 players in 2018 and only 64,000 in 2026, despite that just not being true.

stuff like steamdb shows the exact opposite trend. According to SteamDB, War Thunder averaged roughly 21,000 concurrent players in June 2018, compared to around 85,000 this month on Steam alone.

After watching the video itself, I found many arguments questionable. especially this one

“Naval, basically abandoned, nobody plays it, but Gaijin keeps spending thousands of dollars on new models. Keep in mind a highly detailed model costs between $10,000 and $40,000. Remember that when they add a naval vehicle.”

so i guess gaijin should completely abandon naval if it was up to him?

Yeah. I support rants generally but

  1. Naval definitely breaks even
  2. No to copy paste premiums might fuel the narrative of this update. Fan favourites as premiums

And 3) where that 10K to 40K comes from. Does this guy know the purchasing power of 10K in europe?

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for asking again but you ignored my first message. So, could we see Greece coming in late 2026?

the moment he mentioned the “quiting feels like throwing everything you built away” I stopped taking the video serious.

The funny thing is that, in the same video, he’s arguing that Gaijin should remove all copypasted vehicles, even though that would also eliminate a huge amount of content that, by his own logic, took significant effort for players to “build” but because it’s stuff he’s personally not intrested in its fine if it gets removed.

his advocation for abandoning Naval would mean pretty much the same thing, it would mean everything naval player had in his words “build” would be abandoned, but because its a game mode he’s not intrested in its apparently fine to do so.

The worst thing that came out of it are those new threads with massive block of text noone can be bothered to read by 5147542143 different people that gets insta locked instead of using the one where everyone else already talk.

I haven’t watched it, but just from what’s being said here it sounds like the whole point is “everything I don’t like hurts the game and actually makes them lose money so they should change it”. No way that’s the real argument, right?

I wonder how these even happen. It’s like all those “X vehicle is underperforming” or “Y vehicle is overpowered” topics that come up even though there’s a feature showing people the topic already exists whenever you start writing something.

Why that, of all things? Sunken cost fallacy is a thing, specially if you have invested, for example, over 8,000 hours (4,000 gameplay, 4,000 hangar xD) over a span of 12 years (playing since 2014) and around 2,000 bucks (including Marketplace-earned GJCs, of course, but still about 1,000 actual bucks or so).

They should are at least. Come up with a much better form and implementation of Navel with better modes.

And he has a lot of valid points especially when it comes to bug reporting like at times it’s like an automated response. And they’re bending their own rule’s. it’s like they want you to like classified information what happened to needing two secondary sources and when you give them two secondary sources or even more than two they come up with excuses like oh marketing lies what about relik why is it getting buffed where is the sources for that I can get a video right now showing that relic is not as effective in real life compared to what it is in game, like is that not marketing lies because if that isn’t I don’t know what is !!

I know people are obviously going to have agreements and disagreements over the video that’s their personal opinion but personally he has a lot of valid points. But I’ve had enough experience in playing this game since 2014 I’m back in those days the game was good yeah it had a it’s issues but it was good then it’s time goes on the grind got worse and worse and worse than 2023 happened and it was like a hallelujah moment gaijin were actually listening to their community but now it seems like now things are getting worse again and gaijin needs to sort it out before another uprising happens again and it will be even worse than the last one.

Bug reporting needs a massive overhaul and they need a system in place for weekly community feedback on the game when it comes to dev servers testing new updates they need to overhaul that process like give every player on the dev server access to everything that they improperly test out all the vehicles new mechanics everything new and not update rather than having to grind for it and we need new game modes like in the video I agree with him at that point where you go to your attractive you capture it you hold it you bleed enemy tickets while fairly north the enemies game over how’s that fun we need more exciting game modes we need more that’s why engaging needs to pay more attention to their community what the community wants we need they need weekly feedback they need to learn from their mistakes before this gets worse these copy and paste premiums are not worth it What’s the point People are getting sick all this copy and paste and I agree like why are we getting a copy paste M60 or a puma What’s the point so people can buy their way to top tier. So yes I agree with his video on all the points he pointed out you mind but I do that is my personal opinion you have your own personal opinion !!
