In truth, that’s Gaijin shooting themselves in the foot. They were silent for years, this created a vacuum of information. Other voices took up the space. Now Gaijin have to struggle to regain credibility that they lost by not explaining themselves and by acting without speaking. That’s on them.
Guys like MatAWG and TheEuropeanCanadian are difficult to deal with, they push out ridiculous quantities of nonsense. Again, those people wouldn’t have such large following if Gaijin spoke more often, more clearly and more promptly.
The “Russian Bias” meme is a perfect example. It’s essentially pervasive, impossible to prove, lots of people do half-baked datamines or make flawed arguments for its existence, many players are simply convinced it already exists. Gaijin more or less totally lost control of this and there’s little they can do about it, they could remove the Soviet tree tomorrow and people would be squabbling about it for the next 10 years.
It’s the price Gaijin pay for being opaque about the basic mechanics of how their game works.
Basic example. What’s Realshatter? What’s Volumetric? People will complain they ruin the game, but nobody really knows what they are because Gaijin never really explained properly. They will be complained about and blamed until the end of time.
But it’s simple, if Gaijin doesn’t talk, someone else will.
Which makes little sense since we’re not dealing with a product that’s in any way fixed, permanent or unalterable. It is never “done”
Well, maybe yes. But it is still an example.
By the way, Horten manufactured other prototypes, which never received weapons. Personally I would like to see the IA-37 in the game.
Things is we are probably one of the rare nation that absolutly don’t need subTT and copy past from other nation (specially at modern era).
The sad things is for years our average vehicle per update was usually one, and sometimes nothing (can’t count the number of time in Russian devstream when they just don’t show France at all).
We have option of subTT, but we also have enough homemade material worked on to not be in “need” of that.
But also, when a nation got a subTT thats mean a good handfull of new vehicle in one update, that’s the thing that almost make me want to have one, but if they can just pump more vehicle per update (really not lacking choice for all era), it would be good, but i’m dreaming here…
France is sad to play in WARNO, the era of the game stop 2/3 years before Tiger heli, Rafales and Leclercs MBT, this make me really sad.
Also don’t like that we can’t use anymore “nation” deck. I loved using all the things i like in a nation in a “general” deck able to do everything, now it’s dispatched :/
