I dont know if i put this rant post in the right place (and excuse me for my english) but i just want to get my voice out. The game is dying. Statistics might not indicate that but looking at the last few months, there has been a significant drop in player count, outside from this small drop you can see the game isnt really gaining more players, i think this is because lots of veteran players are quiting but this gets balanced out by new players joining > these new players start progressing and become veterans too and they quit. This is because top tier is absolute garbage, anyone that has ~100 hours on top tier knows how bad it is. there’s also no reason to stay and hope for improvement because the devs simply do not listen to the community at all unless they start losing money. So id just like to put my ideas out there in the hope that enough people do it and maybe we can finally be heard.

Russian bias: i put this on #1 because its getting out of hand and makes lots of new to top tier people quit, russian bias is undeniably real and you cant change my mind, nato documents getting denied vs russian rumours getting accepted, kh38, relict that has ~700mm of kinetic protection vs ~300mm irl, bmpt which has no place in the game (like spookston said 7 years ago), russia having the absolute best spaa for 2 years and then getting the pantsir sm sv, lmur’s, volumetrics on russian tanks, yak9k, kh29l at 10.3, 2s38 at 10.3 too, ammo in ammo rack not exploding, nato tanks getting incorrectly modeled time after time: they are literal weakspots on tracks, nato bump even while standing still, abrams lfp ofc, detailed models only on nato tanks, abrams turret basket. im gonna stop here or else it becomes too long (i could write more than 50 pages of this), ofc i understand you cant fix all of this in 1 update so i think you should adress the biggest problems first: model armor correctly and remove detailed models or atleast battery packs and fcs.

Boring games. Gamemodes have been the same sloppy pattern for years now, ground: spawn in> cap> get a few kills> game ends on tickets. Air is even worse: spawn in> compete with 6 other people for 1 kill> die or the game ends. Add. New. Gamemodes., for example: one team attacks and the other defends; team A (attackers) attack a city, industrial area, military bases, oil refineries, nuclear facilities. They do this via bombers and ship launched artilerry, real players escort real or ai supersonic bombers (gives a reason to add “modern” bombers) and team B (defenders) tries to intercept these bombers, different routes can be taken, ambush strategies can be implemented,… Team A ai ships launch artilerry and get defended by carrier based aircraft or even players controlled ships, team B tries to destroy these ships with e.g. anti ship missiles (adds use for these). Team A helicopters can take out team B spaa systems. By gaining air superiority your helicopters can spawn closer. Im not gonna give an example of a ground gamemode because i wanna keep this post relatively short.
Important: (this would take away the need for the expensive and unwanted infantry gamemode by adding the possibility to make more aircraft or tanks useful: stategic bombers, gunships, modern ships, artilerry vehicles,…)

Lack of apprecation for veteran players: I constantly see veteran players posting in the forums getting ignored, gajin should focus on what these people have to say because we know what the game needs, right now gajin only seems to care about pulling in new players with fancy premiums, advertisement and false promises. even popular and smart youtubers like spookston get ignored. Listen to the people that know what theyre talking about.

Boring updates. i completely understand that the game is running out of top tier vehicles to add but this doesnt mean you should add copy and paste vehicles with a slight upgrade or downgrade to another vehicle already in game, there are thousands of unique low and mid tier vehicles that can be added, focus your updates on adding these and maybe a few top tiers and not premium slop. Its ridiculous to see your devs having to be ashamed everytime they do a devstream because the updates are bad.
-
Map rotation: Add new maps and remove some of them every update so you can bring them back with the next update, this gives players the feeling that theyre not constantly playing the same maps, even if they are and makes the game alot more exciting.
I hope this rant will be atleast read by a staff member and will have a meaningful place next to the thousands of other rant posts.
And lastly i beg all of you players to write similar posts, the more voices, the higher the probability we will be heard for once.
Also stop complaining about anime tanks, these are simply here to add top tier premium lineups.
