It’s not just balancing.
Developing something takes time and money, which is something that could be moved somewhere else.
I might’ve used wrong tone, but the core thing still stands.
And by doing so, prevents competition, and with less competition would increase overall profitability for war thunder.
If the last few decades of corporate greed in the game industry can teach anything, it’s that greater profitability (to the unidentified owners of Gaijin) <> better quality game.
That said, they’ll make money on these store premiums, they always do. Lotsa whales.
Yes, and i am tired of pretending its not.
Remove naval, make those players play GRB.
And i am not being sarcastic.
I’m curious, explain what you think could’ve been added to ground if naval never existed.
Ponies!!!

Funny how you’re saying it as if Naval gets all the attention from papa gaijin and ignores Grounds and Air. My brother in christ, just one naval based update and you guys start acting like this. I’ve been seeing lots of reactions like this recently.

Dozens of vehicles to fill up gaps in ground and air TTs.

That is valid, then again, gajin really likes to keep pushing the br ranges upwards before widening the lineups. Gajin also has a particularly poor track record with spaa and bomber (attackers as well to a lesser extent) attention as well.
Again if an outsourced team is in charge of naval assets, how would it affect the speed of the other branches getting stuff? Gajin also had ample time to add plenty of suggested vehicles but some are still in “passed limbo”, to this I’d chalk it up to gajin’s focus on the “latest and greatest” instead of bulking up lower lines.
ha yes, so everyone gets to enjoy the CAS wreck train GRB is
No, i’ll stick to my Richelieu for this patch, thank you very much

Yeah no. This whole idea of removing naval is a non-starter to begin with.
First of all, there’s bluewater and coastal trees. Coastal gameplay is inherently faster-paced than bluewater gameplay (arguably more than ground gameplay in some cases, I would say) and will naturally draw more attention. It would be a shame to remove all of that due to the potential it could bring in the future, as it seems to be a more natural path to modern missile ships. Also, there isn’t any major competitor in terms of PvP coastal gameplay, so it’s ridiculous to give up a stake in something you already have.
Bluewater naval is more problematic with implementation, however, it is not the resource drainer that you claim it is. In fact, one of the major reasons why naval is so problematic is due to the lack of proper development. Naval players can recall all the times when a new mechanic was implemented seemingly without any actual testing. One of the most infamous ones was the Alpha Strike patch, where changes to HE shell fragmentation pretty much broke the entire mode with fragments phasing through armor.
So yeah, unfortunately, getting rid of naval won’t free up a significant amount of development effort. And even if it did, any content creator would know better than to output more content than necessary. If Gaijin is satisfied with the amount of content they’re putting out for air and ground each patch, it would be unlikely that they would change at all.

This sums it up perfectly, especially when the vehicles most needed for br gaps in the other modes already have parts within the game (be it hull, weaponry, engine or airframe) and since gajin had plenty of time to add them before (be it the original TT plans or passed suggestios) it’s clear gajin is most likely planning to add it later.
