No just Nigel as he is the unofficial protagonist of Warthunder he is also a knight in the lore :-)

Its honestly moreso an issue with putting them in incredibly skimpy outfits, like ffs give my girl Kate a plate carrier at the very least
Like, its okay if they’re not wearing full uniforms, I’d just prefer if they gave the characters more coverage
The original dakimakuras were so much better in that regard
I stated that weirdly but you get the point
They dont have to be wearing full combat uniforms, they just shouldnt have 95% of their skin showing

Good. We’re sexual beings.
Sure. But that doesn’t sell. That’s what those failed games are finding out - ya’know those ones that strived to depict ‘real women’ (by making them look ugly??), which led to reduced sales and the games being panned.
I think its just predatory honestly. “Don’t like it, don’t buy it” just excuses the fact its a bit needless and just shows their only goal is money.
I’d rather it be C&P aswell but its the fact its C&P of an existing premium. Stuff like the Type 90 (B) Fuji and Type 90 (B) is fine since its just a tech tree version with a camo net. But it being a 1:1 of another premium that many people have already bought is… youch. Its the same experience being sold.
The 3D models are practically identical. Tiny changes.
And yeah 110%.
I have nothing much to add to this conversation lol. But, fwiw, I just felt like saying:
-
I am not bothered by these “anime” profile pics, decals, nor pillows. Idk, I just don’t care strongly either way.
-
HOWEVER, I do support the reasonable players here advocating for more “gritty”/“realistic” anime profile pics etc.
Like the post below. I find these types of suggestions to be quite reasonable and rational. Aside from the few reasonable posts like the one below, a lot of the hyperbole being posted isn’t going to change anything. And is almost completely pointless to post, much less to even take the time to read.

Agree they can do what ever they want.
But if I where to place this next to the other 50 anime games it would be hard to pick it out so I see this falling foal of not being unique. Sometimes being more strict with your designs gets more people playing. Hoyoverse used to be very insane back in the day with this character design stuff until they dialed back there designs a bit then they discovered the other 50% of human kind. You can make attractive designs just ground them into your universe your designing. Writing and game design 101. Overall it would be sad if this venture failed because there trying to be everyone else.
Any chance for a swedish pack like this?
i imagine if they do more, it’d go to Britain (and maybe China and Japan), being the next largest TTs

Now this ^ is the take of the gooner that I was looking for
Id much rather have female characters in a military game that just simply dont wear makeup rather than depicting characters in their underwear but makeup-ed up like theyre going to a beauty pageant in an active warzone
(This gets a pass as it ascertains to makeup tho since they’re literally anime characters)
Thats fair, and I get where you’re coming from, but abstaining from purchasing things of this nature is one of the best ways to get the practice out. If you like it enough to buy it, you were going to do that even if I told you about predatory practices
Also fair, but in their cases tho theres not really anything they couldve copied from the TT that hasnt already been copied or is too modern, except maybe the T-72B3 or T-90A
Base models are the same, its the decorators that change the 3d models in that regard

I’d rather we not be doing this anime business - but that ship sailed long ago. I’m simply saying that sex sells and your suggestion doesn’t. Not that I’ll be buying any of these. Saving my money for the sales.
officially lost the miniscule amount of hope and respect i had for gaijin bro

I agree with this heavily, every warthunder character so far has been depicted in era/role accurate-ish outfits up until this, this is honestly indistinguishable from the thousands of other things like this on a visual level, ingame tho its different

Apologies if my reply came off rude, I read this:
As a “keep pushing sexual content on the playerbase” rather than what you said with “sex sells”
Its honestly more saddening that thats the way it is, but whatever I guess, “humans will be humans”
It’s not obvious is that permanent or no?
Well, maybe you would like them more if you didn’t inhale so many SoyBeans? 😂
Cheers bro 🍻 (Always love seeing your name, makes me chuckle EVERY time)

Its permanent, yeah
They knew what happened with the Santa’s helpers a few years back, remember how everyone went crazy over them as if they’ve not seen a woman. I look at this announcement and I can feel like sick forming at the back of my throat. I hate anime with a passion due to the reasons you said about how overly sexualized it can be.

We need more ‘vintage’ style anime collabs if this is the way forwards, area 88 for example was really cool

Oh yeah, you got me there. I guess I just don’t care if sexual content is pushed. But any of my personal feelings aside, I’m not surprised Gaijin would go this route. More $$$.
Pretty much. Gaijin knows what the playerbase likes. They want your money, they’ll do what they need to do to get it.
