Well, they remembered to nerf the rewards for it. Don’t get me wrong, something had to be done with the bots who were abusing the mode. But the shotgun blast of an approach caught us who actually played the mode as intended in the blast too. And that doesn’t seem right.
I guess what feels disappointing about it is how do we either A) know that Gaijin is aware of it and intends to do something or B) communicate our desire to see Sim Battles improve? Personally, I feel like these forums don’t really matter in the eyes of Gaijin so I just don’t see how to spur action.
Like I understand its not the most popular mode of the three but it still needs the TLC. The fact that the attackers you need to hunt down are Cold War sub-sonic jets in your F-15E/Rafale is so…dumb. Not to mention how dead-on accurate convoy SPAAs are. And even if you try to Maverick them or whatever that awesome A2G missile on the Mirage 5F is, every map has clouds at like 800 feet.
It really needs some love and every time they ask us whats the thing we want fixed, I keep saying Sim Battles and its never on the list.
Well, not for the next update. That would be like February. But I imagine we will see what will constitute as a “roadmap” of sorts starting then. I believe we arent getting an actual roadmap this year (personally I think its because they dont want to be held to a list or promise that can be thrown back at them if they delay or miss the window), so they’ll probably do just a series of devblogs on doing X or Y.
@Smin1080p_WTin a previous Rumour thread I pointed out to you that South Africa left the Commonwealth in 1961, I must apologise for my ignorance as I was unaware that they re-joined on 1 June 1994. Much as I would enjoy seeing an independent ZA (or other Commonwealth tree such as Canada+ANZAC) I must concede that you were more correct than I was.
I’m gonna say what I always say about this, Gaijin made India a “sub-tree” for Britain because it takes them 1/8 of the time (yes im exaggerating for the most part) to just C&P a Russian model instead of making something unique/native British/Commonwealth design.
Gaijin got fed up of making new models for Canadian/Australian equipment so they decided to go the easy route and are now sticking to Indian stuff.
Yes this post is a bit sarcastic, but the logic is still there and no one can change my mind otherwise.
They did improve heli PvE quite a bit last year by getting rid of the Rolands on the bases, but yeah, these PvE modes definitely need some attention as well
Some new single player missions would be nice to see aswell. Some missions for more than mid WW2 would be cool. Also some missions for helicopters/tanks/ships would be nice.
may be because we got two SPAAs at the same br as we already had two decent SPAA choices, nor were they new vehicles to the game only to britain.
The look it gives is that gaijin isn’t concerning themselves with more unique vehicles and only on what they can copy-paste spam across multiple trees such as the M44 or OSA.
I personally believe that it is being done (just not as extreme as said) instead of unique vehicles more often just out of it being easier to do at the cost of tech tree identities.
