I would like event vehicles to be recycled into the current events
As for the fake stuff, nope. I would prefer they stay out of the game. Until they figure out what to give players when they take them away, the current owns will keep them.
They’re still fully removing something people might’ve paid GE for, which was your point.
It’s a clear double standard to how they handle fake ammunition.
I mean, what did VEAK 40 owners get when it’s HE-VT got removed ?
They were left with a butchered vehicle that fights at a completely new BR.
ammunition has always been an intentional balancing decision so isnt quite the same as the vehicle itself.
XM800T shouldnt have a german APDS but it would be abysmal with just the APCR (at least that thing would be balanced out of being meta that way)
the m4a1in the british tree is higher than in the american tree because of the APCR (what a joke)
high tier APFSDS would be a nightmare without standardisations.
Harrier T10 and AV8 NA should have six aim-9M missiles but are instead treated as sea harriers that can CAS in their loadouts
90s light fighters using 9L instead of 9M is a joke.

having this is double standard ?
these titles also can’t be obtained.
that’s different subject and have balance factor on it
like the F-4F early have aim 9J
My point it’s not issue for new players and won’t effect them or effect there accounts.

A modification is very different from a vehicle.
I disagree.
Gaijin has run limited time events. These vehicles are not available to everyone afterward. Think of vehicles like the EBR 1954, Leo 321 (French float plane), AR 196, LVT A(4), Swordfish Mk II, M5A1 (TD), Pz II (TD), etc etc.
I don’t see people arguing over these vehicles. Asking for them back.
Also, what about the marketplace? That’s also exclusive. Xbox and PS have no access to that. Should we make it so that Xbox and PS can just GE these rare vehicles? But then that’s not fair to PC people who have to go through 2FA and all that. And then spend a ton of money on vehicles.
What about the Xbox and PS exclusives? Like the A-26C-45? F4U-4B VMA? XM-1(Chrysler)? Should those be available to PC people?
And so on and so forth. The game, by being on multiple platforms, is inherently inequal. By having a marketplace is inherently inequal. By having different tech trees with different tanks is inherently inequal. It’s inherently not fair.
These tanks shouldn’t be in game now, but it’s fine to let veterans keep them- they put in the time and effort when the game was a tenth of the size and a tenth as popular as it is now. It’s only fair to reward them for their loyalty and dedication; and these rare vehicles are acceptable ways of doing so.
Every game has veteran rewards. It’s how you keep people. War Thunder, and it’s even vehicles and rare vehicles and trophies and stuff like that, should be no different.

Ok, here is a question for you.
Is it fair that Xbox and PS players don’t have access to event vehicles like the M8A1? If it isn’t fair, how do you make it fair for them while also making it fair for PC players who need to go through the marketplace?
How is that instance any different from the Panther, Tiger, and Coelion? You can’t make everyone happy. Ever. This is an instance where I think removing them made the most sense. In the end, the only thing that matters to me is that they never come back. Remove them from veteran accounts and reimburse them with GE/SL, fine. But don’t reintroduce them to the game.

if i could have a tank that got removed and gaijin would one day say that they would remove COMPLETELY the existance of that tank (even the ones that already unlocked it would lose it), i wouldn’t complain cuz at the end they’re balancing the game and saying the truth about it.
i never got a single removed vehicle, but i got the MiG-25PD (event vehicle) and if Gaijin would say they would remove it from the game for balancing purposes, then i wouldn’t complain cuz at the end it’s for good reasons and i also wouldn’t like to fight a MiG-25PD in a flareless 10.0 plane which underperforms against the mighty Foxbat.

is it fair? no ofc not, there’s no reason for poor PS/Xbox players to not have access to the marketplace when a big part of the community comes from PC.
the fact the minority of players are from PS/Xbox doesn’t mean they “deserve to not have access to the marketplace”.
how do i make it fair? idk, im not Gaijin, i would give them access to the marketplace by working day and night coding and coding just to make crossplay work for it too or smth.
i have no problem if they get removed, but if a small part of people can still play with it cuz “they unlocked it first/before the removal”, then the problem starts.
if a small part of the WT community (PS/Xbox players) can’t get access to the marketplace, then why also all the WT community can’t get access to removed tanks that any other player has except veterans?
i completely agree with that idea and would balance the game again.

my opinion is that Gaijin should reward veteran players with expensive things, not removed things that any other players can get.
for example: if Gaijin adds a new premium vehicle, veterans can play with it for 30d (like CC when they ask for a random vehicle and Gaijin gives them the vehicle they want + universal backups and premium account(?)) or get a 25%/50% discount anytime they want to any premium pack/GE vehicle.
they could also get access to limited things that wouldn’t affect the game itself or the gameplay of other players, like special access to some streams where WT developers leak information about new things coming to the game or playing with famous YTbers/streamers just for being veterans.

this ideas could balance the game in a very good way that wouldn’t harm any new player trying to improve and enjoy War Thunder to it’s own way.

How is it fair to return fake/incomplete hidden vehicles if for the same reason we can’t see other new vehicles from the same category?
I would like to have P.43bis for example then, it’s not fair that I can’t have it just because Italy was added too late.
Then you should disable the ability to play on deactivated tanks against those who started playing after the date of their removal, because new players can’t even open the defense analysis to find out how to penetrate these tanks. Or is it “different,” and you’ll oppose this mechanic to continue humiliating newcomers?

people like me ???
all games do that have nothing to do with vip elite what ???
what does this answer have to do with the subject helloo??

i want op things?
hello do i know you???
what are you even talking about it’s not about me…
what’s wrong with having nice profile icon???

these are tec tree tanks they can’t be sold.
am not your buddy please be respectful it does not mean if i disagree with my answers it’s the end the world that’s what the forum made discussion in civil way.
and i am showing the rewards as example.
all the stuff you said are not right it’s not about me / or VIP or running the game i don’t even know what are you talking about.
your toxic answer won’t change anything i will block you.
i won’t have discuss with someone can’t take words because i disagree with someone else opinion.
it’s okay if veteran players kept 3 removed tanks / removed planes like the R2Y2 that’s nothing bad at all.
me or any old player was just lucky to be on wt in that time line.
and if gajin brings or not it’s none of my business it’s gajin who do that i don’t care and won’t effect me in anything these are just pixels.
and i still disagree with removing them from og accounts.
The game wants to be realistic. Not historically accurate.
Those are two different things and they could fix the realism part by giving the Panther II the Schmalturm variant for the 88mm cannon instead of the variant for the 75mm.
As I have said. Back in the day I had to grind 1,170,000RP to get these tanks.
With the average match giving about 1000-2500rp and lasting between 10 - 20 minutes, this means that I have spent between 78 - 390 hours on that grind alone, which I would not get back, which I wouldn’t get any refund for, etc…
This is completely unacceptable in a game that is entirely designed around building a collection through grind.
As I have said. I have no desire to keep these vehicles “exclusive” to the veterans. I have always been opposed to any form of vehicle removal in this game.

so its fair to people who WERE at the time that you get what they have FOR being at the time?
UUUUGH its pretty egoistic.
Gen Z players just dont understand the culture of the proper MMORPG. Whichever event you were back then, it defined your character. If you missed some event, you dont get the reward and distinction markings of it. And you shouldnt. If we are being fair about the “gaming” part, it is only fair to never get the rewards from the events you never attended to.
Now, if we`re being honest, i only wish they get back to the research tree. As much as the R2Y2, the Ryukai jets. They add more uniqueness to battles than simple cloned M48s.

so being 0.3 higher than regular Tiger is not a nerf then? Facing them T-54s and Leopard 1s because its “veterans machine” is considered a blessing i believe? Oh, i know! Its a special feature! As veterans already played at the time when leopard 1s and t-54s met the tiger 2s, so their tanks now do the same to give the OG experience!|
Honestly. Thats one stupid take fr.

Sounds similar to this concept, where you can research older event vehicles that are now unobtainable. This can include Removed TT vehicles as well. This wouldn’t hurt profits from Gaijin since they gain nothing from keeping them gatekept, and would technically earn more making them available but still keeping them rare/special.
