Them being unrealistic? Were you all this whiny when the roman soldier profile pictures were added? The Atomic Heart ones? The furry ones?
It just sounds like poorly disguised xenophobia. It’s only really an issue now when it’s anime.

I miss being able to come home from hs and play something like fallout 1… boy have times changed.
That’s not at all what I’ve said. All my words are on record (except those that were unfairly flagged haha) and you’ve probably seen them.
So let’s bring back april 1st pony planes, UFOs and battlewalkers. Let’s not discriminate against anyone. Anime, ponies, Barbie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—they all have a place in the game. After all, War Thunder is a truly realistic game. The main thing is to prevent the appearance of vehicles like the Panther 2—it’s not realistic!
Im not even sure what is the point you are making, and im sensing you are using a translator.
From what you wrote, you are mixing two entirely different points, 1) the appearance of sexually explicit content in a videogames in form of the new “Kate” pfp that might be subject to laws, and 2) the historical photos i linked to highlight that sexualized art goes hand in hand with military stuff as far as WW2.
Either way you need to pick one.

No way to defend this, quite literally a goonerbait addition to fish out as many Benjamins as possible. What’s disturbing is the fact that, once more, the Anime characters are explicitely nude while the playerbase is in a significant part children…

Warthunder has PEGI rating 12, and if in reading that right, sexualized content is allowed as long as it doesnt show explicit nudity and/or explicit sexual activity (however game might imply sex by showing that two characters went to bed, then fade to black).
Im not defending any hill with this, just pointing out people should actually check the laws before they start talking about what is and isnt allowed.
As for explicit nudity, how does Kate PFP differ to, say, a woman in swimsuit at public pool? Or any summertime commercial showing people, including women, at beach? Just asking.

April Fools is April fools
Now, don’t get me wrong, I also hate that they feel the need to lock away stuff like the German trio and the R2Y2, but April Fools events being unrealistic has no relevance for the cases of those vehicles
The other decorative stuff (usually) has the fictional tag, meaning you don’t have to look at them during gameplay if you want a more “realistic” feel
I am going to put this here. Gaijin could have done a Fortnite x WarThunder and made bank but they made there own IP which is much more rare these days in the realm of IP rehash. I wish it was more gritty and lived in like the area 88 crossover but that’s life. You can always write an event suggestion if you have a “good anime crossover” like I’m doing. But otherwise this does demonstrate that there is a plan at Gaijin.

Agreed, while I personally dislike this anime stuff, it is pretty unusual to see a company create their own IP to go along their game instead of just exchanging assets with another companies IP and I actually have a lot of respect for that.
When it comes to collabs or other types of crossover promotions I would prefer to see them work with military museums/content creators and more promos like the ones they are doing with Italeri and Thrustmaster

I am okay with the anime stuff just wish they went down a more grounded path. But I think it would be cool to do a collab with modeling hobbies companies like Accurate Miniatures or Gunpla or something. But in the spirit of kit bashing to make unique vehicles that you can have in game. Nothing OP but unique visuals semi real. The war thunder skin community is full of model/Gunpla enjoyers.

Oh man, being able to do some level of kitbashing in-game would be amazing. It’s something I kind of always wanted to see.
We already have some level of kitbashing with some tanks having optional camo nets, add-on armor, dozer blades, the Winter-/Ostketten tracks on certain German WW2 tanks and the Great War Pattern modification for the TOG II, but that still is a rather lacking level of customizability.
It would be nice to be able to add/remove roof MGs and to be able to switch between light, medium and heavy MGs (if the tank had options for that). But even just the ability to add/remove (mostly) cosmetic elements like antennas, crates, wooden logs, fuel barrels, etc would be awesome.
Spoiler
The ability to exchange turrets and guns or even add mortar, grenade/rocket launchers, etc, like we can do on planes/helis would have been incredibly cool, but that probably was never going to happen, as Gaijin can just add more variants of vehicles by slapping additional equipment on the individual tanks lol

Off topic so i hide the reply in spolier
Spoiler
This WoT approach works for WoT since it is game with single vehicle spawn per game, at least as far as i can remember. It makes sense to have one omni-tamk and put as many variants as possible onto it. WT is different when you have lineups. Im not saying the grind is perfect, far from it, it could use lot of work, but having more options to fill lineup with is preferable.
Of course this goes out of window with aircrafts and ARB lol.

Clothing is very hard. During the winter where I live if you don’t have 3 layers and a trench coat your basically in swimwear! Lol anyway
I think that character was supposed to be Russian would have been nice to reference ww2 USSR female uniforms or taken example from other IP like first squad
O-well I am going to let this part of the form rest for now.
I stopped playing for a few months just to come back to see that some of the OLDEST bugs in game still exist - like the tree hitboxes, for example.
But hey - at least you can have kids goon over a tank.
If I load up WT right now will I still see that floating tree next to volcano?
