They wont because “theres not enough people playing sim”
I think War Thunder is missing: not another separate game mode, but a persistent Combined Arms Enduring Confrontation where air, ground and naval forces are finally part of one continuous battlefield.

Throughout my time playing sim there’s been so much feedback people have made that they’d love to see implemented into Sim/ EC, and it seems like NE is the culmination of a lot of this.
I’d love to see this in Sim and i feel like it would spark so much life back into SB after stagnation. Even just an updated version of OG Enduring Confrontation with newly made features or even map from NE would be amazing o7

I mean I don’t know how many people actually play sim so the devs might get more value from spending their time elsewhere as there are other things that would benefit a larger section of the player base.
I will absolutely support this idea. We haven’t gotten anything for sim for the past 5-ish years, so any new thing is highly appreciated. Additional idea: Allow helis too, so that they have a real purpose other than to be used in tank matches that are all over in 10 minutes.
Edit: Also the maps need to be a bit bigger for sim. But I’ve heard you are planning to do 256 x 256 km maps anyway, so all a sim Nuclear Thunder setting would require is to basically delete the 3rd person perspective and markers.
In addition, I would severely tone down the several AAs. At the moment as soon as you take off you get pegged by like 5 different radars plus players.
So the best would be MUCH larger maps, nerfed AA and … don’t let it replace classic EC yet. NE sim would need time to grow first.
Thank you!

1000% agree just add a 10-12km redzone around enemy airfields so they cant spawn camp

It is in their plans for the long term
Game industry wise, the “not enough players” argument should be much less of a thing these days. There’s been a boom the past decade, making good sim equipment much more accessible to people, at better prices.
Gaijin needs to recognize that there is a re-emerging Sim audience. The assets exist to make Sim a very fun and rewarding experience. Gaijin just needs to put in the effort to refresh Sim gameplay.
Sim players are also a demographic that’s more likely to pour money into the games they like. Make Sim fun (and rewarding), and the $$$ will come!

That’s a lot of air for a non-answer, especially since it’s pretty clear Gaijin has been putting anything sim related to the lowest position on their priority lists. A lot of work has to be done in order for things in NE to not make pilots want to set their hair on fire and launch through the office windows, especially the SAMs targeting functions and ground vehicle counter-air fire.
But I would happily like to be proven wrong within a year.
Still, that’s the longest answer regardin sim development in a long time, and thus exciting news.
