It’s a shame you guys don’t have tabs in the tech trees where you have different researches.
Something like “domestic, export, prototypes, premiums”
The tab with exported vehicles/planes. You could allow those exported vehicles to be used in any nation or sub tree.
To manage the grind gaijin you could require the vehicle be researched in the primary host nation tree and then either require a certain number of kills or additional research for a cross tree unlock token.
That would allow the player to decide the next nation they’d unlock with it along with a corresponding skin for that nation. You could esrn this multiple times, depending on how many nations actually used it. The token can only be used to unlock it in users of said vehicle (so sub trees or major nations).
So in this case, the hawk would be researched by the primary producer of that vehicle (and user, or if it was produced and sold primarily to another nation it would be in the tree of the first adopter), then you’d get your unlock and the skin you guys are selling for it and it could be paired with other vehicles from the india sub tree. So continuin the example of the hawk, researched in host nation and then unlock token to be used with india line up in the UK tree. A line up requirement would be 2-3 vehicles/craft of the sub nation in order to enter match making. (Could nix that, just s suggestion)
Would certainly make the grind more engaging and interesting - push users to play other nations to facilitiate these unlocks.
And also limits how many unique trees you have to add.
Its strange that the country with the largest population isn’t represented ingame. While tiny nations like Sweden got their own ingame representation + copypastes from 3 other nations to make them viable.
but haven’t we moved on to Christmas events and halloween events guys I think gajins real reason of not putting 4th of July moment of valor is that it would be kind of a stretch to still be making 4th of July events, (ya still fumbled it Gaijin coulda been nice I would have loved a 250 staue of lib avatar you can still do it next year but not 250)
we have almost no Pakistan vehicles they could have done both with the ones we have but gajin was too lazy to make more than 1 now we must think about how much money gajin could have made if they made it for USA , Pakistan , and India(oh wait no we have Al-Khalid-I and not even an event Gaijin is sad )
Its likely due to the lack of directly unique equipment and not wanting a another incident as happened with Israel and China where people got very uppity over it being effectively copy-paste for the most part (because lets be real, gaijin wont put the effort into a highly unique india TT, they still have yet to even add the Gnat/Ajeet fighter which people asked for since like, just after Beta when we started getting things like the Hunter so what, 2015ish?).
Heck, China was heavily copy-paste spam for years too, and it got a fair bit of being ignored due to it, only getting more popular with unique additions.
I dont think gaijin wants to have another full TT they have to deal with adding new stuff to every patch.
Gaijin WILL add north and south Korea so yea gajin will be having another tree that they will have to make mostly non already in game and instead of adding a bunch of trees gajin could just give sub tree decals
The thing is, SK has a lot of gamer energy which India has yet to build up to and ofc… the meme of North Korea will flock people just because “Best Korea” vibe. Arguably imo I would wager the whole reason South Africa got in as the first sub tree and being unique vehicles was prob gaijin trying to get in on the niche/cult following the SADF have in a lot of genres.
Mobile gaming is MUCH bigger in India than any other type of gaming.
It is HUGE . . . there are literally 1 - 2 dozen streamers on youtube
that have 10’s of MILLIONS of followers based out of India.
(They all play mobile games I think . . for the most part anyway.
PC/console gaming . . . not so much.
Just how it is . . . society, culture, logistics . . many variables.
There are eSports teams based out of India, so it is not unheard of
for PC/console gaming to make a show there, it’s just in the vast
minority . . . From what I read about it some time ago . . .
India has 1.4billion population, but per 100.000 people I think smaller countries like Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Turkey, S.Korea, Australia even Greece have more players in percentage than India
Worldwide, Mobile gaming has almost the same number of players
as ALL console, PC users(downloaded/boxed AND browser game users)
COMBINED . . . . and with the “gacha” style monetization, it’s no
surprise mobile gaming also has by far more revenue generated.
All pretty good reasons not to spend a great deal of time and/or
resources going after a market that is literally glued too thier
cellphones far more than anywhere else . . . . seems like to me anyway
Not for a game like WT . . . or many others really
Still War Thunder it’s not a mobile game, what is happening in mobile gaming is irrelevant. War Thunder Mobile is a completely different game than War Thunder.
Its also a question of financial access. Much of India doesnt have the financial background to have computers capable of heavy gaming including energy usage, space, spare parts, games, etc.
Far cheaper and much easier to do mobile gaming for now.
That is of course changing over time, but its still not there yet.
I was referencing the fact that while India is a VERY populated
country, that doesn’t mean that it has a converse number of PC/console
gamers as one might expect . . . they just do not have the numbers,
even tho it is a very large country population wise . . that’s all
And it is actually very relevent . . if the people there do not have the
systems to access this game, then they will not be here to buy/use
any vehicles from their home nation, so . . . that was my point.
