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

Anything gaijin does with AI is slop, gaijin can more than afford to do it the non slop way but they choose slop. Lazy and hella sloppy.

This chart is misleading…

This one is more comprehensive:

2014 and 2015 were more premium-vehicle heavy (almost half).

That was probably mostly the lend-lease/captured stuff we see around the lower tiers

Mostly the first ‘top’ tier premiums (so one rank lower).

I also think that this spike is due to war thunder adding new nations into game

As beyond 2021 the regular vehicles list has more or less ironed itself out

Taking a look at that, it’s less so there is a rise in premium vehicle and more so that it only feels that way.

As 2023 & 24, where on the extremely low end for premiums.

I don’t really want a premium limit. They can dump trillions of premiums at once but if a vehicle is important for community, we should have it at TT.

Fw189 is an example of it. Barely anybody has the A variant, suggestion post has a total of 6 comments at all, rare mentions in wishlist threads, it is a premium, OK fine. F-14D however…

We definitely need 10+ premiums and 2 TT vehicles

i believe a good ratio is 4-5 TT to 1 prem

It’s depressing to know that there are 41 Squadron vehicles with more coming each update; and, because Gaijin insists on capping the maximum RP to 20,000 every 3 days and make them cost up to 520,000 RP…

It will be LITERALLY, PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to acquire even A FRACTION of all Squadron vehicles at a time.

You can unlock 1 squadron vehicle every 3 months, while, during said timeframe, they implement 3-11 such vehicles. It’s simply entirely possible to ever acquire a fraction of them without paying for hundreds of euros.

At this rate, if War Thunder remained online for, say, 15 more years… even then the proportion of Squadron Vehicles a player could possibly dream to get would only keep getting smaller and smaller.

For every vehicle you can grind, they add 3-11 more. It’s just impossible.

The 20k/3 day cap for squadron vehicles is ridiculous and absurd. If there were to be a cap AT ALL, it should be closer to 100k/3 days AT LEAST.

Just like it would take an extremely long amount of time to grind out multiple tech trees without spending anything?

Regular trees take a long amount of time, but at least it’s not capped, so it’s 100% subject to your own pacing.

However, not so much for squadron vehicles… I generally see the 20k cap be reached within a day. That means that, of every 3 day cycle, 2 days are absolutely and utterly wasted because the cap is cutting off the potential at the equivalent of 1 day worth of grind.

This effectively slows down the natural grind rate of squadron vehicles by 66%.

It takes 3 months to unlock a vehicle that, without the stupid 20k cap, could take an active squadron 1 month to grind, and EVEN that would still be a lot, but doable at least.

Don’t get me wrong I think they should buff it too. But they won’t because a hard grind is how they monetize this game

Oh- and them not allowing us to switch vehicles during the grind was ONE OF THE WORST CHANGES POSSIBLE EVER.

So you spent 2 months spending RP on a vehicle and changed your mind? Good, just waste those 2 months worth of grind and start all over again…

True 😭✌️ at least we got some original vehicles, Cyprus is just pure copypasta slop and Greece has more copy paste potential than singapore
