Hello everyone,
I would like to suggest adding a system similar to “Marks of Excellence” and more detailed vehicle statistics for individual tanks. Many other vehicle-based games have mastery systems that reward players for exceptional performance on individual vehicles. Such systems provide long-term progression goals and encourage players to continue improving their skills even after unlocking new vehicles.
The Problem
Currently, War Thunder provides basic statistics such as total battles, kills, deaths, and win rate. While this information is useful, there is little long-term progression or recognition for players who consistently perform well on a specific vehicle.
Many players enjoy mastering individual tanks and improving their personal performance over time. However, there is currently no visible way to showcase that mastery other than overall statistics.
Suggested Features
1. Vehicle Mastery Marks
Introduce a progression system for each vehicle based on player performance compared to other players using the same vehicle.
For example:
- Bronze Mark – better than 65% of players
- Silver Mark – better than 85% of players
- Gold Mark – better than 95% of players
The mark could be displayed as:
- Barrel markings
- Decals
- Vehicle badges
- Profile achievements
The exact visual implementation is flexible.
2. Detailed Vehicle Statistics
Expand the statistics page for each vehicle to include:
- Average kills per battle
- Average assists per battle
- Average score earned
- Kill/Death ratio
- Survival rate
- Average life time
- Capture and objective statistics
- Damage dealt and received
- Ranking among all players using that vehicle
This would allow players to better track their progress and compare their performance over time.
Benefits
- Creates long-term goals for experienced players.
- Encourages mastery of specific vehicles.
- Gives players a reason to revisit older vehicles.
- Provides additional progression without affecting game balance.
- Increases engagement for competitive players.
Conclusion
War Thunder has an excellent variety of vehicles, but it lacks a dedicated system that rewards mastery of a specific tank. A vehicle mastery mark system combined with more detailed vehicle statistics would provide meaningful progression and a strong incentive for players to improve their skills.
Thank you for reading, and I would be interested to hear what the community thinks about this idea.
