I am not commenting on his usage of it but rather my usage when I use it, usually referring to air RB in this case. People often come to air RB trying to “larp” certain tactics/things they’ve seen in media or history that worked then but will not work exactly the same way in WT. A common example (and my most used reason for using this word negatively) is when people at top tier try to get the game changed to more fit what they THINK air combat is about (active radar missiles being used at 50km) by removing ways people can use different tactics to avoid said ARH missiles, such as trying to remove multipathing.

The addition of some scattered AI targets, similar to the world war event, might mitigate the lack of action until being able to encounter actual players.

Though in fairness this is an obsolete term that should not be used as justification.
Exactly my problem since 2 years and in the last month they molesting all maps in favor to the russian players which prefer going head on into the battle and which hate sneaky IFVs flanking them. u can clearly see the map adjustments is exactly for this cause. I ve been in a russian clan years ago and played along with them. 80% of them prefer armor and firepower and were always complaining about beeing flanked. Now the maps makes IFVs obsolete on 90% on the map. I ve unlocked ICV (P) last week and get this thing spaded is almost a month grind. I just sit there behind a hill and use binocs because not only the maps mostly to small to find a route to flank, no also the objectives are placed in a way no matter where you go u have always a heavyer armored MBT head on. The map design was very bad in the past but they keep screwing it to a point where we just admit to a single map with a fishbowl design and max 1 km distance to each spawn…
For example i just had Tunisia battle 1 A/B are so close to each spawn once theyre there you cant do much. If you re starting north and move some hundred meters to the middle of the map u have perfect rock cover and can peak into the spawn. Basicly from spawn to spawn u kill the other team. And on top of that the closest heli base in the south you cant even start because any AA can climb a rock line right at thier spawn and simply shoot at you before u even startet ur engine. I dont play this game that much anymore, do not even buy anything or premium or participate in any event. I could grind a lot of stuff from my 5 nations that are all in top tier but i dont even care anymore, i dont want anymore. Its enough already the unbalanced addition of many weapon systems for some nations that can outperform many others and they didnt even added a system or a modification to others that it might get at least some chance. E.G. Pantsir vs anything. It shoots bombs, missles, tanks planes at 20km while i am in my japan SPAA look like a bad actor in a B movie. Theres 2 games i am waiting for its release and then i am done anyways with WT. once in a while i ll come back when i feel like to see some eyecandy explosions but thats it for, thats what is left of wt for me…

And then they complain about Strv122 because it only few tanks that can fight them in theirs own game.

Due to bad designs.
For example, check the larrrrrge plain on the SW side that made half a map a dead zone for northern team.
Open “long range” areas should not always be considered as “Large”. There’s a huge difference between the effective range of a tiny bt5 and that of a T80BVM. Enough range will make it within reach, and become the same as brawling but smaller targets & harder to shot back.
And for Fire Arc, that plain gives no cover for north team but slopes and real tank shelters for the south. So the north team can never cross there at top tier, though for low tiers tanks are not that ranged.

Turn your head to those who get flanked/ CASed people. They have progressed soooo much more on larping lol

Given how many complaints Schindlbee has made about air sim, made suggestions to fix it and so forth…
and nothing happened?
I feel a forum moderator has little teeth in the matter if a game master has so far been fairly ineffective as well.
I think only the community manager, suggestion managers and technical moderators have any real weight.

What do you mean who else ?!? the Community of course!
The Developers are listing to the Community… I have no influence whatsoever… absolutely 0%
I am still part of the Community, I was hand picked from this very community… But, I have no influence on Development whatsoever, unless I am part of a project like I was for the ITT… or I specify that I / we (Staff) are offering feedback…

Well, I would not say “nothing happened” Staff Feedback, Bug reports, Suggestions are still taken into consideration just as with the rest of the Community, but just because we are part of the Staff, does not mean that we have any more importance over anyone else, as you have hinted towards
“I think only the community manager, suggestion managers and technical moderators have any real weight.”
Well, CMs, will have some weight, since they will see concerns from the community and pass them onto the Developers

I think your offering them far to much credit there.
No where to hide from CAS in GRB now all the cover is gone.So SP guns are somewhat pointless in a combined arms game with a sky full of CAS.
The maps are tiny now and the bigger ones have huge red time out zones that only make themselves known when you are on them so taking a fast light sniper and trying to hit and run is pointless and you cant keep moving to out run and hide from CAS and revenge killing.
GRB has become Arcade.It just about grabbing a heavy and hoping for the fastest finger first(or best connection speed)
War thunder killed itself especial when you get to mid tier and fast and light is all you have in may cases(Germany?)
Who would take an M18 into a city to face Tigers front on in reality?
WT prides itself on re creating real historical tanks and AFVs/SP guns etc but cant recreate the settings those vehicles were made for and used in.It used to be able to then it smashed up all it’s own good work and wrecked it’s own game and it even managed to convince it’s own moderators that it was a good thing.
If you came here for choice and an ability to use the right tool for the job and express yourself and use tactics then there is nothing here for you now in this game.Might as well play arcade with the rest of the kids or move on.
It is not a game for adults anymore.
