You won’t see me supporting religion either.
Also, what you said here is more of a spiritual connection, which is definitely pretty different than liking “beautiful women” in 2d.
Unlike Kate, he was a real human being with real ties to military vehicles and war.
Just compare pictures between the two, one is depicting a war veteran and another is depicting carefully created 2d waifu to maximize the goon effect, thus the sales.
You buy that P-39 in order to give credit to that fighter pilot, meanwhile you buy Kate and company for bikinis, stockings or what exactly ?
At this point that Eva decal is more fitting to the game than this, which is disturbing to say the least.
I have a lot of respect for Gaijins decision to create their own IP instead of just taking stuff from an already existing IP.
Doing collabs and taking assets from another companies IP is easy, but coming up with your own stuff takes some actual effort.
They can sell top tier premiums without locking unique non top tier vehicles into premiums/event vehicles.
I’d even argue that putting unique vehicles in the regular tech trees makes people buy more top tier premiums, even if they are copy paste versions of tech tree vehicles.
eeeeh… No?
“spiritual” by itself is a definition based on religious beliefs. Taking it seriously, you can sum it up as emotional connection with something non-existent that makes you feel better. Exactly the same process with any other fictional character, including anime women, for sure.
No, i buy it because its unique and has several beautiful camouflages
For unique and cute avatar which makes me pleased. And i WOULD certainly pay for a bette camouflage that this half-baked stuff. within those 3 camos, the T-80s one is the best apparently.
I dont. That shows that they dont really exist outside their own bubble.
No its not?
It takes as much time and effort, as you still need to come up with realization of the stuff - draw models, skins, the stuff you will be selling afterwards. E.g. you still need to draw awatars, decals, camos, promotion stuff. But more importantly - it takes bit more money, as you need to cooperate with others. And thus is exactly why gaijin makes their own IP.
they never did nor would add prototypes, obejcts to tech tree, thus asking for adding UNIQUE premiums is as adequate as asking for clean water to drink. I dont want to see copy-paste abrams as a top tier premium when we can obtain something like CATTB which otherwise will be hidden behind an event or never added at all.
Making the unique mass produced vehicle a premium is a bad thing, that i agree with. But adding clones to premiums when they have policy to add unique prototypes as premiums (hello T58 which has 90% vote rate for “tech tree” on this forum) is insanely lazy.
As I said in one of the previous comments, id take six M1A1HC premiums if it meant that T58/T54E1/Black Prince would be TT.
Sure just making another visually distinct variant of TT vehicle might be seen as lazy, but if it would lead to all the unique stuff being researchable…
the point is - it wouldnt.
And thus why im against those. Yes, i will gladly see all the premiums as copy-pastes aif we somehow manage to convince gaijin to add uniques, prototypes, objects ect. to the tech tree. But we wont.
They add all the prototpes, uniques and other stuff as premiums and events for like 13 years. I mean, you can dream. But after 5 thousand hours in game you stop…
Anime characters have a face and a voice, so they can give you much more than that, if you know what I mean. If no one was interested in this the term waifu wouldn’t even exist in the first place.
Gaijin and other companies understand this very well, which is why they make those 2d waifus the way they make them.
And to celebrate that pilot’s achievements, which is why it’s in the game in the first place.
Kate is completely fictional and has literally zero connection to the real world, so adding that skin in a game like WT has zero value.
It takes a bit more money to do the same thing basically and if it’s your own IP you have a chance to do something more with it in the future, expand it somehow.
Unrelated to this, I find it extremely funny that our “international squad” operating US/GER/RU tanks use Japanese language to communicate. It adds to the slop feeling.
No? Who said that? Are you the one implying something on my behalf here?
If it was to celebrate his achievements, at least half of the money earned would be transferred to his living relatieves or to some museum of his name.
That does not happen.
Exactly! this new IP they made is stupidity, they should have asked Bandai Namco for a GuP collaboration. Because this is valueless as not connected to any IP.
Making an event with nonexistent IP with no existing fanbase = making an event with well known ip with huge amount of fans all over the world. Okay boomer…
The best sounding language it is, tho.
The characters have no ethnicity at that moment so they basically can use any language. And the IP they made has no lore whatsoever. So they can use any language as no known reason for them not to exists.
I was talking about the game itself.
A game trying to realistically depict military vehicles, combat and history adding a vehicle/skin dedicated to an Ace pilot is one thing.
A game trying to realistically depict military vehicles, combat and history adding a 2d waifu with no real life connections is a whole different thing.
No one said this was charity. You can celebrate someone without giving them financial support.
That guy was a real life soldier and he had a great success in what he was doing.
On the other hand, Kate, is famous for blowing a gum bubble that’s as big as her head while speaking Japanese, which is a tremendous achievement when it comes to military vehicles.
GuP is also completely fake and unrelated to real life.
2d = 2d
At least you own the IP and can do more content or start a new game based on that.
What’s the point of using Japanese when you’re advertising that content to people that mostly don’t know Japanese, so English would be a much better choice.
I don’t expect you to find any differences between the two terms.
a man who promises to take responsibility for the moral or religious education of a child, and traditionally presents the child at baptism
a fictional female character from a video game, anime, or manga whom a person (typically a man) regards as their actual or ideal romantic partner.
You asked why i buy it and then wrote that nonsence.
Tho i agree that game itself has them to honor their actions, but must of those named planes are as copy=paste slop as those new machines. They only offer several unique camos, and sometimes have unique perks.
Yes, that makes some sense. Tho as for that, the game has its players around the globe and notices what people like. Some like to buy bright E-sport skins. Some like to have their content creator decal (many times its anime girl also, lol). Others like to put glames and such. So
And for those who dont like bright stuff it has an option to turn it off, im a big fond of this decision.
So no one gets hurt feelings.
In russia if you celebrate someones achievements, you greet them with both good words and gifts. I dont know how it`s around the world tho, thats my point of view on the world as a rusian person.
And using his name - if he has living relatieves - for financial operations such as selling ingame planes) also falls under the copyright laws of both US and Russia tbh.
So its not about charity.
Nah. You entirely miss the point here.
Because you aim for a specific audience, because its an anime, and most anime fans are fond of japanese. Simple as that.
would be for those who arent a target audience tho
now that you mention… Even throwing away japan as “nothingmore to add” as they said, we DO have some examples of that rule breaking without proper reason, now i see that, you`re right here.
No worries, not all nations use obvious designations for their prototypes.
Based on their names a lot of those example I listed could pass as production vehicles.
For the lower tiers you would be right, Gaijin does have a tendency to turn older prototypes into premiums vehicles, but the top tier premiums usually are copy paste (or slightly different) versions of tech tree vehicles.
Event vehicles seem to be a mixed bag, but luckily in a lot of cases there are variants that could be added to the tech trees
That’s what premiums should be, copy paste vehicles from TT that mostly have their camos and decals as an unique thing. Those vehicles being connected to real life events and people is also what makes them unique.
Kate and company is pretty much content that’s fit for a GuP game, not WT.
I know that they’re chasing money, but identity of the game should be preserved.
We getting 2d waifus is definitely a step in the wrong direction.
I can’t turn off waifu PFPs on the forum and in the game.
Waifu liveries are also in the same category as perfectly viable military camouflages found on WTLive for example, which doesn’t make sense either.
We should be getting a “Disable all waifu content” button in settings if they really want to push this slop. Gaijin promoting this on their social media is also really weird for the game itself.
Define gift.
Gift can be a simple thing as giving out free copies of the plane for his relatives or giving out GJN coupons as well.
I think Gaijin’s legal team thought about it before adding stuff like that.
Nope I don’t.
GuP is also anime that has no connections to the reality.
