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.
bravo! its realy sad but u nailed it.
This whole thing deserves a new thread… tho all threads of its kind are kinda locked and gone
I do find it sad as I really liked this game at one point. I had no issues with what I had spent on it at one point either,now It’s wasted money.
yea i ve spend also much money in 12 years and it was always the main reason i came back but since 2 weeks i thinking i going to uninstall and never come back.
You shouldn’t ask questions that the MOD has no answer to.
you were totally unfortunate when you said that the game is not sniper, if you have no influence, it just showed that you are one of those who just want to press the W and that’s it, since many vehicles are not close combat, now if you can make any vehicle penetrate the other head-on, then I agree with you, but then I play WOT and not WT.
I was a NA Super Tester for “the other game”, so I know very well how things “work” over there…
Now… if this Topic continues to be about me, then I will see no reason for this to continue and it will be locked…
So… Back on Topic…
Well, lots of posts and opinions of many different perspectives. Yet the bottom line is: many are happy about the game as it is and many are not. Yet still the game forces the other many to play the style of many that they dont like. That goes from the bad map design and no missions whatsoever to the “zero choice” of how i want to play and where, like chosing maps i like. The “devolution” of maps has come to a state they dont feel only bad for many vehicles they also look redicolously unrealistic.
U need just use your binoculars and peek above an elavation. If there are houses you can only see roofs or the second level, i you look along roads u can see 50meters, it goes weirdo like up and down, some roads around citys even look completly unuseble for citizenz outside of war because they changed so much of the terrain by adjusting elevations, creating ditchches that the surroundings simply doesnt fit anymore in the map! humens tend to chose thier places wisely when settle down or building a village and citys.
No one would put thier houses where hills are so close to the windows that no light will ever shine into them, that they watch on a freakin grassy knoll the rest of thier lifes when there is a beautyful mountain view or forest. Espiecially having a road on it where every driver can watch into the 2nd leve of the house.
not to mention the way how you angled those hills, theyre not slightly or smooth 90% of them have an angle where u cant even use them hull down becaue the most vehicles down have enough gun deprsssion!!! <--------and this is the worst part of all!
10 years ago the map looked at least some how logic but what i see now is just “press w and click” when u made it through al the ditches and valleys and finaly spot somone right in front of you.
They completely destroyed fundamental mechanics and traits of tanks by :
A=Hose-like maps, meaning ABC objectives stealing the possibility to flank with light vehicles because placed horizontally mostly insteat of beeing A only in the middle or vertically ABC, leaving enough space to the sides. Also if only 1 bobjective on the very same map they restrict the sides for flanking and make it effectivle smaller
B= Placing Spawns in a way once the enemy has the objective they can shoot into the spawn and prevent a counter, espiecially by having no options where to spawn, just 1 in many cases…on a flat plane with no cover. not to mention heli bases where u have to spawn 10km away simply not to get shot down right away when chosing the nearest one. Doing this results u get intercepted by a jet that swarm around like mosquitos these days ot you simply come too late and the battle is over before you even did sh+t with that heli.
U gotta get the spawn points first, then spawn and fly like 5 minutes, find cover and when finaly see somthing the battle is over, if you werent shoot down by a pantsir already at 20 km…
Why dont they look in to war scenarios from real life and copy some operations in specific areas where different vehicles were needed and had a specific role? How can they talk about “realism” when there is no such thing other than in the ballistics,weight, armor, horsepower and whatsoever in the vehicles when the whole setting doesnt even allow 80% of this stats to shine in different playstyles?
Its beyond me how this game is simply watched about to die…
Maps in WT just feel like CoD. Only differences with cod ground war and wt are the damage models and no infantry. Tho even ground war maps are larger.
I wonder when we get perk like mechanics to WT… Oh wait they already tried to add such.
I said something like this before
and got remove by stuff lol (truth must be hurt)
Said it once, and im gonna say it again.
After playing Hell let loose where Epic Game’s gave it away for free.
I am entirely committed to saying that THIS needs to happen, we need BIG maps, BIG 64 Vs 64 game modes that last hours, and have multiple objectives and a attack/defense system.
WHY don’t we have that yet?
So much untapped potential just RIGHT infront of you, People already love playing the tanks and such in Hell let loose, Post Scriptum, HELL even Battlefield 5.
All of these games have a LARGE Operations gamemode that can last HOURS if both teams are competent.
And people WANT this, look at the Community events people do, like the Battle of Britan ones, or The Dunkirk one that Content Creators are part of every year.
Yall just… You don’t have a clue what to do.
even when you have TRIED To do this, with the D-Day even a few years ago, you shoved it on a TINY map in Arcade mode, making it Trivial for The Allies to just get farmed by Panthers and Tigers.
I actually feel you’re well off point, so much so that you’re pouncing on someone who’s being targetted because they are a mod, compared to actually paying attention to what was said, elsewhere, in a different context.
You’ve been led to dogpile, literally
We get it, you’re mad, but your fixation isn’t wise nor proper.
i mean it does work that way. the 10 minute esports slugfests. But i totally agree with heavytanker. it would also work awesome with a much larger operation gamemode, with commanders maybe organizing squadrons ordering them which flank to attack (like post scriptum or hell let loose). even all the arty would have a spot there to work as proper arty. and reconnaisance to find out where arty and cas should strike. because the maps would be too big to find targets from up high. IT IS ALL ALREADY THERE. just not the maps or the gamemodes.
imagine a map like the mad max event where both teams start on one edge of the map and you have to capture bases in between which then serve as respawn points and you have to push the enemy team back over the course of 1 or two hours. you can leave and join anytime and respawn infinitely. id love that. like in naval ec
Some experienced or command dedicated players could organize where to defend, where to attack, where to flank and someone else could do the same for cas and cap. that would be so cool man
