Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Man, that’d be amazing.

But looking at the PvE content currently ingame… I cry. They need to get another studio in to make PvE content that isn’t just aimbot tanks or WW2 bombers in a square…

Interesting concept but everything you named can be done by bluewater ships wayy better

Update name: “Screw everyone and no F-2”

Japan gets a Malaysian F-18D and Indonesian Su-30SMK2 and that’s it. 2 top tier air vehicles and the update is done.

I mean, better yet if they could find ways to fit both bluewater and coastal into a PvE mode for certain roles!

Water too shallow for bluewaters to enter, foes too heavily-armed and armored for coastal to deal with!

Can always pull a USS Texas

Wouldn’t that just increase the draft of the vessel, though? :P

They don’t need a new studio. The only way War Thunder survives is if Gaijin themselves brings in a modern PVE experiences.

Cause while the PVP aspect is 100,000 - 220,000 players every 30 minutes [not necessarily unique players], that could very well drop to almost nothing and the game needs to be playable regardless of player count.

Even then that is extreme case

Anything a coastal vessel can do a bluewater ship can do, with few exceptions

such as operate in areas of shallow water.

We going to float the Texas down the Potomac mark my words!

Considering their current PvE offerings, I’d really rather they bring in another studio to do it for them. I don’t have much faith in them with the way they treat their non-PvP modes currently…

What about going under low bridges, navigating rivers, popping out from smaller islands/rocks?

Map designers would have to get creative, sure, but there are a lot of ways to give Coastal and Bluewater their own niches

doesnt matter when the guns can reach wherever the ship cant in most cases

only way coastal is good is when used in numbers or really specific situations (where aircraft can do the job)

To my knowedge gaijin’s track record of making PVE modes themselves is exclusevly, lets say “lacking”. What makes one think their next thing will be any better even if they actually bother one more time?
Its easy to say that they just need to actually focus on it and put in some work blah blah, we know how this one goes. People dont ever “just”. The world would have been better if they did, but they never did “just”, they dont “just” as of now and most likely never will.

if anything they should focus on adding submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as improved naval modes overall, instead of a coastal focused pve mode

That is in fact THE way how coastal may be revived, if applicable. Subs. Thats a nice Fuso you have over there, too bad theres noone to do anything about me crawling ever closer into torpedo range or whatnot.
Given that April fools mode with subs one can alway hope I guess.

exactly, it gives coastals more purpose while increasing depth of naval gameplay overall

vs a gamemode that only helps 1 type of vehicle and will probably die out quickly

Were all these aircraft in the current leak list? Seen only ones with the su-30 and f/a-18

Chinese j-11 and j-10 were in previous leaklists. As for for f-2 i have no clue.
