Gaijin’s vision of the game is clear, and it’s what attracted most of us into the game:
-Realistic and authentic physics, damage models and mechanics.
-Arcade gameplay for easy and convenient entertainment.
This is the literal recipe of War Thunder and the whole selling point and premise. Matters like these should not be subject to voting. It’s not like an economy or research matter that can be subject to subjetivities.
People who want to turn it into WoT are going against the main principle and very pillar War Thunder was built on.
Funnily enough, from the thumbnail I understand that this Russian CC implies that these changes will make War Thunder turn into WOT, because of less one shots.
“Hey, look at this new game, War Thunder! Unlike WoT, it puts emphasis on authenticity; here, you have to actually target the ammo or crews to destroy a tank or deal meaningful damage; that is so good! No more kills by hitting random empty plates just because the HP went down by merely hitting them!”
People in 2024, apparently:
“I want to be able to auto-insta-kill tanks by hitting the edges of the corners of their cupolas.”
Anyway… I will better stop commenting, because I am heating up by the second and I hate being so blunt and sounding mean, xD.
Dopamine is one hell of a drug. One shot, one kill, big boom is more enjoyable than realism.
Also I imagine that the people who started playing this game for realism have slowly left it as the years went by, since cold war/modern tanks at WW2 BRs is widely accepted. They’ve been replaced by casual players who came to the game from watching War Thunder official youtube channel shorts (I don’t hate on these shorts, but you know what I mean).
I agree with what others are saying this shouldn’t have been put up to a vote. This is something that requires alot of testing to get right.
They should just go through with the testing part of it anyways over the next few dev servers and when they start to get it finalized then have a vote on whether people want the new mechanics to come to the game.
Y eah, they should have run a 2 week test event and then done a vote. But I guess if the community overwhelmingly says no then they can get out of the dev work
I think the problem is you cant buff solid shot to the extent that aphe is without including the spall bouncing around inside similar to the sphere as damage aphe does.
Wooo! I honestly have no idea what France had for smaller boats, so I’m looking forward to discovering a bunch of new things! And having a boat for my Bluewater lineup will be so much better. :)
