Regarding Gaijins comment on no need for 12.7

[ErrantAlgae]

the game can live, why do you think there are so many premiums and very rare event vehicles on the market, those alone give gaijin a lot of money, if anything if a premium is not good or what the user expected I feel they may be likely to spend less.

complacency has screwed over the gaming community.

Also this is getting off topic

Of course, but can’t accept it, can’t play it.
You can try something like a revolution similar to what followed the economy change earlier this year.
They will tweak some values. But the fundamentals needs to stay if the game want to live.

I don’t know. I call me old-school but its better to fight and loose than just accept and give up.

@ErrantAlgae

the modern gaming market is an example that should be use in textbooks to teach complacency and how it makes everything worse.

look back 10 years and you see a way healthier gaming market for the end user, but people got used to it getting worse and worse and here we are, battle passes, absurd premium content prices and game design made to be hard without paying

I’m probably getting “existential” here but I think it is true to general standard of life. :(

Yes, but it could have been forseeable. The business market was way smaller, slower and there was less competition, less player, games were different so do there business model.

I know I sound repetitive, but money is the answer. You know that’s how things work.
You can debate all day long about this and that but eventually you will come to the same conclusion.

Yes, people tend to stay hard like a rock (Sometimes their convictions become their identity). But being shapeless like water is a way to adapt (or accept and give up by your words).
Be like water my friend (hope you have the reference or I will sound crazy x) )

Sounds good, but in life you need to be both and the trick is to know which one when ;)

It isn’t the top planes over performing rather the planes below them being squished harder and harder

They’re giving the top tier guys the cannon fodder required. If you think about it from that MMO perspective, it makes a lot more sense… Explains why so many premiums are 1 BR below the top, or thereabouts.

You’re paying to be punched in the face by top tier machines, in exchange for the prospect of getting to top tier faster so you can be the one doing the punching down.

hard caps make bigger issues than you can imagine, we have had hard caps in the past and they were horrid

Was it actually?

Only issue was F-104A/EEL for me tbh.

FGA.9 was pretty cracked back then but, it was waaaaaay better than current clusterfuck.

Or just stop with the weird odd (literally) numbering and just go from 1 to 10 with 0.1 increments.

IMHO original idea about the 1.3 - 1.7 - 2.0 - 2.3 etc. spacing was to implement 0.7 spread, but at that time, War Thunder didn´t have sufficient player numbers. We have those numbers now, but Gaijin programmers changed in those 11 years so much, they kinda forgot and stick with the 1± spread.

If you think about it, having 0.7BR spread in this kind of odd spacing is GENIOUS!
However, if they do want to keep the 1± spread, then there is absolutely no reason to have it layed out like that and they should just go by either ranks or like you said.
