Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

So my wishes of seeing more content per update is never gonna be true? Is Gaijin not a multi-million dollar company by this point? How do they still have to outsource models for their game? Also 20 grand for a model is crazy, ground vehicles don’t even have interior views.

20k can get them carbon fiber wheels for a lambo though

Well since they probably won’t ever get around to adding the CATTB, they may as well just give me that $20k so I can make my truck spiffy, I’m probably the only one who advocates for CATTB on a semi regular basis anyways.

Depends on the model one assumes but for relatively niche vehicles you gotta account for finding and paying for the resources (not just stealing images off google lol), gotta account for researching in museums and archives (paying staff), in extreme cases going out to a location to get pictures (not always rely on volunteers) not to mention possibly 3d mapping vehicles IRL.

Then you have to pay the guy who actually makes the vehicle in the first place and high quality work costs money, that person has to likely pay their manager/promoter, so on so forth.

Its damn expensive to get things made in this day and age.

Can we expect a little roadmap update like you did between Hornet Sting and Leviathans? I always love seeing what the future holds :)

But in enlisted they do I wonder why they don’t have the tank interior modeled for war thunder

Probably cause they don’t want this to be a simulation much like DCS, it’s still a video game afterall and most players wouldn’t necessarily play sim which is pretty much the only mode it will be remotely relevant.

I wish they added it honestly I’d enjoy it

Yeah but honestly how many people will enjoy more stress on their already not great computers. And otherwise it might just be a really difficult and time consuming thing that no one really uses in game.

The grind to top tier certainly doesn’t make this game feel like a video game.

They could just have it limited to people who select UHQ on the launcher

Leopard 1A5 Incorrect Top Speed // Gaijin.net // Issues

@Smin1080p_WT

Hello could you check this issue? It was labelled FIXED but nothing changed on Leo1 A5. The top speed is still 65kph not 62kph

and that can be confirmed when you look at ASB. They’ve already said they’ll never model the bomber cockpits and the cockpits we do have, are usually half finished buggy messes, even with the things they can and will actually model

Some of the models are perhaps purchased from players that made them. Not at all sure on which models this applies to or how often they do it, but there is the option for that in the Contribution Agreement:

i might shock you, but 20K for a high quality 3D model isn’t that much, in fact i doubt Gaijin pays the studios they contract something this low considering how difficult it is to source blueprints and orthographic images to help with the modelling.

For the amount of work required to make a good model solo these prices are frankly ridiculous, better to dump your work on sketchfab/Turbosquid, the quality threshold on those websites is very low, so quality models that can work almost plug-and-play will likely earn you more in the long run, and companies can still license your models for general use, meaning youre not locking yourself to one product. If you really want to aim higher you can upload your model on FAB, which is the new face of good ol’ Quixel, although they curate their store and getting your work accepted takes a while it seems (i’m fuzzy on FAB’s terms and conditions so don’t take my word for it).

Ron isn’t talking about user-made models. Gaijin outsources a good chunk of their models from contractors.

TBH yeah, that’s what I usually do, when I was waiting for new content I try to anticipate what’s coming next then start grinding or saving up SL in advance, or just switch to another game. I am a little bored out in the past few weeks so I switched to Tarkov, and will be playing some DCS and BF6 when the game or mods comes out. Or just try improving yourself, go hiking, work, learn new things and stuff. I am trying to learn French with little success so far LOL.

This is also from a good while back, the USD has frankly beeped the bed since then, gaijin arguably should look at those prices and account for USD inflation issues or heck, move to a much more stable baseline currency like the £ or Euro.
