I think stabilizers should be moved to a separate modification instead of being available by default. This would give players something meaningful to grind for and create a greater sense of pride and accomplishment when they finally unlock the ability to stabilize their gun. Naturally, this should be a tier 3-4 unlock
Why can my crew find a half broken Leopard2 in a shed that doesn’t have spare parts or thermals yet has a functioning gun stabilizer?
Oh yes good idea let’s make the stock grind even worse in a vehicle type already known for a harsh grind (helis aren’t real)
Please don’t give Gaijin ideas
Why make it harder to play the game?
No. Would litterally screw up the entire idea of the m60a1 AOS being the AOS
Imagine the horror of Leopard 1A1 players
the idea of the M60A3 TTS being the TTS is already screwed up
Lol
Lol
Or even AMX-32 105
It would screw up the entire game tbh
Of course it would, like if RWRs were still a mod
As it is the research system is already shit, no need to make it even worse
Not to mention you develop the tank, not find it
is that why we are all so stupid? cos we develop the whole ass tank first then develop spare parts n shit for it?
i always figured the system was we found some tank in a shed then pay to fix up the various parts
I don’t know if this topic is serious or just a rage bait, but it doesn’t even make sense for the stabilizer to be a researchable feature because it’s a basic component of tanks, a Leopard 2A7 comes standard with a stabilizer right out of the factory.
Here’s a better idea:
Go away.
There is no official explanation or lore behind it. Some people claim the “salvage” bit is lore from back in beta but I’ve never found any evidence to back it up, it seems it was just a rumour from before open beta that people eventually just started treating as fact.
Neither the development part nor the salvage part make sense anyway, what’s the Watsonian explanation for the BR system? Why did we build a replica of Cologne’s city centre to shoot it up? Even more worrying if it’s the real city, why tf are we fighting there and who’s fighting who? Etc etc
Even if you pretend we’re all playing tank paintball in purposefully built arenas, the research system still makes no sense (how many times do you have to “develop” APHE rounds for the same gun in different tanks?)
It’s just a mechanic to regulate player progression, nothing more.
This should be cleared up by gaijin then. For players like me that primarily play war thunder for the lore/story its a important issue
Story … warthunder … gajin …
Nice try, son
Yeah so let’s like not do that
