Wait, are they really trying to sell Ariete with “heavy air” armor? Omg Gaijin, where is your conscience?
Fix the damn armor!

PS also Italy is still the only nation in WT without a single squadron vehicle.

Same here. Damn, I just got home and was looking forward to checking it out.

Hello, Gaijin team.

How about a Heli EC update for lower BR bracket, where the Gepards are replaced with something less lethal? There are lots of helicopters under 9.0 BR that are getting destroyed by them before being able to even engage the convoys, it’s been an issue for far too long.

Wait they put the breech armor backplate as a part of the vertical drive aswell? Well that’s cool to know I guess.

@Smin1080p_WT Are there any plans to add fuel tanks to planes that still haven’t received them and for those that don’t have all of them ? It’s already been several updates that no plane has received them.

This has nothing to do with a new vehicle it’s with vehicles added more than a year ago in a lot of cases. This is a planned nerf that doesn’t make any sense. Not some WIP model that needs fixing.

In fact, there are not so many bots in arcade battles, usually up to 5. Sometimes there are none at all, I am now writing about 6.7 - 7.0
The only thing that personally irritates me about bots is that they constantly crash into you and seem to have an inflated mass. Because when playing on a battleship, you can be turned around by a bot on a destroyer

From?

So, um, how about doing this for HMS Churchill too, while you’re at it. You replaced it as the British reserve DD without giving new players any way to get it. (Also took away HMS Montgomery as a premium.) Yeah, I know it’s a very situational vehicle (trust me, I know, it’s the French rank I tank of naval). Still, why not be consistent here?

it takes time to fix things

Nah, just that the mode requires no skill to play ;)

Would this be a buff or a nerf because Gaijin refuse to buff the xm885 to is historically accurate penetration

They clearly don’t want anyone with brain to play Naval Arcade.

I have been playing this game mode since 2020 and had the best fun before all these strange changes were added in recent years. I think many other players feel the same way, because Naval Arcade queue waiting times were so bad in last months that the devs had to add more bots to this game mode. Two or three years ago I never had such problems finding matches in Naval Arcade. These days boats are almost completely dead (which is not surprising after the devs decided to add different damage model for ships and make them pretty much unkillable for boats, but keep them together in the same battles). But to be honest, even ships are not in a good shape.

Pretty much all updates from recent years made Naval Arcade less and less enjoyable. We have finally reached the point where I will stop playing Navy altogether. I haven’t played Naval too much anyway in recent months, after many (in my opinion) very negative changes. Unfortunately the devs don’t want to withdraw from any of them, even when they lose players. They try more and more changes that take the skill away from this game mode to possibly attract new players, but this approach hasn’t worked so far. But they definitely lost many older players and players who liked to use their brain a bit.

So, in my opinion, Naval is in such bad shape now because Gaijin has made a lot of bad decisions over the years. And somehow they continue down this path, hoping for a different outcome. Well, good luck!

I can’t check, but it looks like the gun just has a different name, and not different characteristics.

gaijin wouldnt change the xm885 because “the gun is different” when its just the name or some like that yk

I thought it was my internet.
