As I said;
This is what happens automatically when the slightly worse variant is straight up skipped.
Do you really think it would have been better to implement F-15E with 220s, and then F-15E with 229s… instead of just straight out the one with 229s…? Think the one with 220s would have brought a lot to the game beside extra time, RP and SL to spend?
Since Python5 and i-Derby are in game, Sufa could get Python5 and i-Derby. I hope they really put the improved things form the F-16i Block 52/60.
And a turn time of 19 to 21 sec
Yeah?
I’d be down to play it as it’s an earlier variant with more limited weaponry and it could even be balanced differently, in the long run having potential for a different matchmaker, whether inside or outside a lineup.
Maybe some grounds or naval updates before. We already have much of air appear recently. (But i am not against:))
In the very, very, VERY long run, yeah, maybe it could sit… 0.3 or 0.7 BRs apart.
But, at the present time, it would just be a plain out redundant and worse variant sitting at the exact same BR.
I think War Thunder is destined to have indeed more and more variants as time progresses and decompression is achieved. But at the present time, with the current BRs, most of these ever-so-slightly-different variants would just be extra grind at the same BR to slow down progress to the better variants.
Extra grind that’s just skippable though.
Like, why not add more filler and rebalance existing stuff at the same time though?
Hell, the devs are rushing towards stealth jets while all that’s about to happen is that gen3+ and gen4 is gonna be massively powercrept facing them.
Then, knowing them, they’ll make some stuff up to keep the top tier fodder hooked for just a lil’ longer until they pull the plug lol
air battles missed it badly
Except the “skippable” ones would be the target ones.
For example; say the majority of people want the F-15E with 229 engines. If you add F-15E with 220 engines, and the 229 one in a folder… sure, folders and all… but the one who wants the actually good variant with 229 engines has to grind through lots of extra RP and SL over more hours because they have to grind a variant that’s flat out worse than the plane they actually want.
It would take more frequent and significant decompression updates, something Gaijing isn’t apparently willing to do, lol.
We should already be sitting at 15.0 for Air and Ground, and 10.0 for Naval. Yet here we are… celebrating a 0.3 decompression step every 9 months at best.
People laughed at me when I said rank 9 could be coming soon but the American tree at rank 8 is getting too much. You can move the F-16C, F/A-18C Late and the F-15E to rank 9 and add the F-14D ect.
Gaijin could put WWII planes back into the game like the exotic Savoia-Marchetti SM.93
I mean then just grind it out? It’s half off on RP and since most pepegas buy premiums that nothing compared to all the hours spent playing the same boring plane over and over again. I dont see the issue there.
Simple reason: People ask for more and more advanced stuff, not decompression. That and more premiums cause catering to people with zero skill is gaijins forte
Yeah, Italy has a lot of unique looking designs.
Yet these won’t come unfortuantly, since the meta has shifted towards “top tier”.
E.G. look at Japan, some of its most produced WWII aircraft are still not in the game.
But more and more advanced stuff should come with decompression by default;
For example, it makes no sense that Leopard 2A7V sits at the exact same BR as Leopard 2A5… the moment 2A7V came, it should have been placed in a brand new, higher BR, along with other 2A7s and the 122s, etc (as well as some of the already ingame vehicles if they weren’t artificially gimped).
Well, i am fully agree with it. Also small note: Germany must have some more uparmored leos too…
Yeah, it’s funny how to this day Sweden is still a better Germany than Germany, hahah.
Then again, the rest of the nations would also need either new MBTs, or have their current MBTs fixed too, in terms of armor and survivability.
The Merkava Mk.4s general existence, the holes in Type 10’s cheeks, the missing spall liners on Chinese MBTs, missing LFP liners on the Challenger 2/3s, etc.
I kinda hope it becomes Japans 13.0 or even 12.7 ARH slinger depending on the missile count.
would definitly be cool for SIM.
Still wouldn’t stop them making it a premium. They like giving Britain aircraft significantly worse than anything as a premium. Look at the F4JUK.
But yes. A 14.0 F18 is a waste of time
Many issues around with all tech. Reports staying considered for years and so on. Of course others need new tech to compete. I am not against it, but balance surely needed
Well, many ideas i have for improving that, but surely it will be only heard by you guys on forum, but not devs…
Do not forget the drifty nature of the Type 10. Every attempt of just a slight turn results in a severe loss of speed and often makes the tank drift, even tho when you look at any video with the Type 10 turning, it is smooth, basically no speed loss (unless it’s going near max speed), no drifting. Type 90 handles much better.
And regarding the armour, it should be much better too. By weight, the Type 10 has much more of it than Type 90, despite the Type 90 in game being better armoured.
