having read the bug report I can assure you that this is indeed neither a bug nor unintended. Scouting is designed to be through terrain on purpose as long as the game registers that you had visual contact to the target shortly prior to you scouting it. The stated procedure literally fulfills all requirements(1. visual contact; 2. activating the scout function near the target) for scouting to work and is in line with the stated objective of having scout drones in the game.
To make it more obvious, here is what would be considered “bugged behaviour”: Scouting not working even with visual contact; scouting working without ever having had any visual contact. Both are unintened and do not produce the intended result in accordance with the rules.
You might however still consider it an exploid, as those do not need to be a bug. The old artillery view comes to mind. That was considered an exploid by many, yet was totally not a bug and working as designed by Gaijin.
Its not even a bug and most definetely not game breaking XD I mean not a single function of the game is not working due to this.
Am I the only one who’s been experiencing an increase in instances of packet loss (and no it is NOT "my wifi or my isp) and stuttery servers in general since the update? Even this very forum will sometimes crash out trying to post my comments (like this one did and I had to refresh my page and try it again, not the first time I’ve had to do this). Seems Gaijin’s internet infrastructure in general is having some issues.
This is partly also ruined by leakers in my opinion, I loose a lot, if not all, my excitement whenever people start talking and sharing leak lists. It is just not fun for a lot of people and most likely also not fun for the developers. In reality only the people that don’t actively care about the new patch and don’t want to be surprised care about those leaks yet they ruin the “patch season” for a lot of people. (I know not everyone gonna agree but just gonna throw it in here)
But wanting to be willfully ignorant of new information is a personal problem at the end of the day. It’s fine to want that for the experience of being surprised but plenty of people want to know things like that ahead of time for example so that they can start long grinds earlier than later.
Man i just feel if they gonna have the dev server up for nearly a month they could surely make a good update. I just feel that gaijin spent too much time inplementing random new vehicles into the game instead of focusing on sharpening the game itself. What a shame tbh
It genuinely feels like Gaijin is just done with War Thunder and would like to move on with something else. They just keep raking in more and more money yet the time and effort put into the game just feels like its tapering off into nothing.
It’s nearly impossible to avoid wt leaks because of the giant letter and picture Clickbait thumbnails. Nothing against MatAWG and others he’s just doing what works but it does make it really hard even if you stay away from forums and discord servers
They added another crusader tank (Crusader AA Mk. 2 Overlord pack) without fixing the Crusader tanks, their armor is all wrong and very inaccurate, it’s a lot weaker than it should be. I hope they fix it because there’s already reports on it for a long time, they should’ve done it before adding another premium Crusader…
The new “you have been killed by x” UI change with the vehicle card is one of the most annoying changes they have made…their UI changes in general have honestly just been bad.
But yeah this update does honestly feel like one of teh worst we have had in a long while optimization wise.
not everything but quite necessary, if leopard can tank more shells and when you manage to penetrate it the spall liner reduce manage is quite a big difference
Opinion on what?
What update? You mean the degrade the game had recently with a crapload of bugs that they don’t seem to fix ?
Well, i’m so happy i got done with the BP , bought Moffett as well and now i’ll go hibernation for the remaining month till thy fix stuff etc.
They don’t seem to understand that if the game they bring is not of good quality, people will play when you ^pay^ them back in some way…premium vehicles etc. there is no reason to play a buggy mess , with the same boring maps (same map with other name practically) , with the same repetitive gameplay …
So no, i don’t care about the update … and i’m very happy i don’t care at this point.
because they do whatever, they don’t have a standard for their work. Possibly they saw it in another game ,thought that this would be good addition…and added it.
Meanwhile you’ll see 10 people be happy ^that they will use the avatars they paid /unlocked ^ for every 90 people that this one extra button and they 5 more seconds actually throw them off their focus. But in the end TsaiPay will be happy so it’s a success…
I volunteered to do QC. I have a neck to find exploits, bugs, map design(actually have a ton of experience in stage design) all for free. Do not even expect a single 1 SL in return. I got sent on a loop with people that do not affect anything.
Honestly the current customer support and forum team should either be trained or let go. I have been gaming since 1995 and would honestly say that I had a better experience with Wargaming.
Thats because WG actually has people who care on all levels. Sure there are bad ones, but working with the WG team was easy and yielded results.
As of now I have not managed to push a single change in this game with more than 200 bug reports. If we exclude me making the exact same report via a russian player on the russian repor side that is… In that case I have pushed multiple changes through.
As a rule of thumb, a report that is outright denied for non russian users takes 6-12 months to propcess there and a report sitting on accepted for 3 years needs around 2 months to be either implemented or re-examined.
There is a reason why over 100 reports on the wrong turret rotation speed on the M41A1 got closed while a single non native secondary source on the M41A1 was enough to have its turret rotation speed reduced to that of the M41 non A1. The source used for that change does not even qualify on the non Ru forum and report side, yet there it is perfectly fine.
It seems to me that our dear non russian bug/change staff have a god complex regarding their believes what is acceptable and what is not and that it is not Gaijin who refuses to accept 99% of sources. That or russian players really do receive prefferential treatment
Terrible new freature in ARB und GRB: If the sky is cloudy, airfield spawn is pre-selected. Ofc ater years of WT you never mind that and spawning your bomber on the airfield is pretty much Game Over.
