Hey y’all,
I wanted to make a post regarding the medal requirements in War Thunder. For example, the Order of Glory 1st Class for the USSR requires players win 10,000 missions with at least 60% battle activity and a top-three placement in their team. Just to give you an idea, I’m currently at 648 out of 10,000 wins, and despite spending a long amount of time playing the game, the progress feels a little overwhelming and nearly impossible for the average player. (Although I know some people might not really care)
To put it in perspective, even after thousands of hours of gameplay, reaching this goal seems completely unrealistic and the 60,000 RP seems a bit underwhelming, especially if It just goes to your convertable research points. I get that medals are meant to be challenging and shows a persons true “dedication” to this game, but I think that the requirements could be adjusted to be more achievable without neccessarily diminishing their value. Although some nations kinda have this, like Japan, instead of a massive 10,000 win target, Gaijin could impliment incrimental changes like this:
1,000 wins: Bronze Medal
2,000 wins: Silver Medal
5,000 wins: Gold Medal
And finally, 10,000 wins: Platinum Medal
This would allow players to experience a some sort of progress and achieving this along the way, rather than facing an unreachable goal. Alternatively, if Gaijin prefers not to lower the requirements, they could introduce additional medals, similar to what they did in the first Battle Pass. I personally feel like more variety in medals or achievements would make the game more engaging and give collectors like me something more attainable to strive for.
I realize that medals might not matter to every player, but for some of us, collecting these little rewards makes the game that much more immersive and enjoyable, and a sense of accomplishment while playing. I wish Gaijin would make them feel less like an “impossible” feat and more like a fun goal to work towards.
I’d love to hear what you guys think about this and maybe If enough players share a similar viewpoint on this, Gaijin might consider lowering the requirements. And once again, I understand this might not be on top of Gaijins to-do list, but little things like this, make the quality of life a lot better in a game like War Thunder.
Thanks guys and have a great day.
