True that but the initial point still stands. They stopped adding trialed and fake stuff after the respective tech trees got their subtree. And still trialed stuff is not the same as blatant fake stuff like the R2Y2s.
If you solely look on what affects gameplay then none of these additions matter, because they didnt break the game in the way the 38MT did. All they did was fill gaps, the 38MT opened up completely new capabilites not seen before (and after in certain aspects). And pure gameplay impact isnt the only thing that matters in a game like war thunder.
I agree that they shouldnt but they arent the same as per Gaijin since theyre the ones making the difference between the 2 here not me.
It matters but positively only. None of the other additions was unbalanced at it only made the game fairer.
Ok then where is my fake LDIRCM for the Tiger UHT and Ah129D? If gameplay is the by far most important thing then giving everyone similar capabilities should be priority one for balanced gameplay dont you think? Well turns out gameplay isnt the only thing that matters, because if it did wed all play the same vehicles with different skins for a perfectly balanced gameplay.
Those are just two different excuses for the same thing.
Positive if you look from a perspective of that nation.
Some other nations might now struggle against that newly added fake that shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Not really. One has an excuse (not necessarily a good one but one none the less) and the other one doesnt.
Which in the case of these 3 trialed vehicles and the 38MT only matters for the 38MT since the other additions were gap fillers with similar or same vehicles in other trees.
Yeah so why dont the currently underperforming trees get the same treatment as top tier russia? Why are they limited by sources and realism when russia isnt?
One may count 38MT also as a gap filler (not a good one, but one none the less) as the first russian IR guided ATGM… In my opinion IR guided Kh-29 would have been better, but…
It is but its one thats also the best in its class. Its like seeing that Japan doesnt have a 14.7 plane and then giving them an F-22AJ to plug that hole.
By virtue of getting a russian armed vehicle
Yes? I dont like the 64E plague either but sadly the JAGMs and the LDIRCM emitters fulfill the technical compatibility stuff and LDIRCM is modeled way too strong for all emitters.
Swedish trials literally have all the data on T-80U, including its acceleration data which was used to partially prove how all MBTs in War Thunder over-perform.
If trialed production vehicles aren’t allowed, you must support getting rid of all of your favorite prototypes?
Consistency is king as they say…
I’d disagree as well.
I like shitting on Gaijins russia pampering as much as the next guy but please lets not pretend like the US didnt eat really good this update especially compared to almost everyone else.
Sure but one of these 2 has an explanation why and the other doesnt. And you brought up gameplay, the impact of the trialed vehicles is 100% less than what the impact of the 38MT was.
Yes? Or do you see anyone else profiting from stuff like this: Russian Bias in 2026? - #6811 by H_ngma
Well except for, as we have established, the Japanese by virtue of getting a russian plane.
