The main purpose of that “clear marketing lie” leak was to screw up plans and get all that postponed.
I do believe your post just confirms that said leak was terribly successful. God bless the leakers.

Stuff like the SL safety net would be one of the big ones. Map bans as well.
Preuim has more than just grind reasons.
As a low-tier player, I’m not going to be able to renew mine this year, so I don’t look forward to seeing Berlin again.
And I’ve had strings of bad games that only would have lost SL.
Honestly at this point I’m using it for 100% camo condition and extra decals lol. I used to have it to make it easier to make SL playing top tier but sitting at 40m SL I definitely don’t need it just for SL anymore lol
Even still, it’s good to know it’s delayed because then we can speculate and get excited for something else this December

Hahah, yeah. The leaker even stated it; “I suppose these plans will be postponed after this ;)”.
They even added the wink, yes- so that was the goal indeed.
They are a hero, hahah. This is good both for the game’s present day health and to ensure a longer lifespan.
Rushing for more and more modern vehicles without fleshing out the trees and polishing/adjusting the game modes accordingly is just bad.
And running out of content so early would have also been horrible for the game’s lifespan. As we discussed, War Thunder can theorically survive in life support once all the content is implemented- but it’s the regular and gradual flux of content that really allows it to be as big and relevant as it currently is.

I just want to get the dissapointment of the new AA systems over with at this point, so the sooner the better for release.

my only concern is the game starting to die since gaijin have clearly focused the ads and stuff around modern combat if they just stop adding modern vics I feel a lot of the players who joined for that might decided to leave, like Im gonna be honest there aren’t a lot of prototype ww2 tanks left that I think would be interesting, planes are in a similar spot but I think there are still some unique and interesting options left for them in ww2.
the cold war is really where a lot of interesting things are still left, also not to mention there are a TON of IFVs that still need adding to pretty much everyone (baring maybe russia)
And boy do I hope that “something else” isn’t a 90% premium patch and we get some more unique or semi unique filler or perhaps a new tech tree, I pray for Yugoslavia

There’s a few candidates like Thai Ground tree and potentially ARM and other new SPAAs. But yes, something new would be nice. Maybe even electronic warfare?

Did somebody say another subtree to a nation that doesn’t need it with 90% copy paste and all the unique vehicles are locked behind an event or paywall? If your lucky one might even been a squadron vehicle…

Note how the devblog didn’t call it a premium. ;)

No… Gaijin would never do something like that…
Yeah…
I keep reminding myself that I’m clearly a clueless bozo in that regard.
Some actual good news from this update.

More map bans should be essential. Have to use my map ban on the reworked Afghanistan air map since it now absolutely tanks my fps and makes the match unplayable.
Can’t wait for reworked Berlin. SURELY they won’t alter it’s layout like they did with Jungle, SURELY.
Premium players should get 4 map bans. Idc if i have to wait in the que slightly longer i will gladly take it if it means i never have to see Advance to the Rhine, American Desert, 38th parallel and Alaska ever again.
Also map dislikes should actually do something i am tired of seeing maps I disliked more than maps i liked.
They changed it?
Also really wierd that map is the one that causes issues. Most of it is just badly textured mountains
The only map I keep banned is Advance to the Rhine (it’s in rotation a lot, but sucks at above ~7.0 if you’re not into CoD), but then maps like Fields of/Normandy and Sweden boil my kettle if I get them multiple times in a row. Gaijin really like to have the BR ranges on maps waaaay too large.
Also Gaijin Plz folder maps, if I ban Normandy, I want Field of Normandy banned too, You’ve done it for the winter variants please do it for the bigger variants too.
