I know what you mean. I think we all live in hope.
Two ways of looking at it for me on today’s play. I am trying to get into Italy at 6.7 with every vehicle new and no CAS. Really miserable and no fun and getting shot to shit in fast light vehicles that are not even fast yet by a long way due to no engine or gearbox mods.
Now playing UK at 6- 6.3 and the vehicles are all new but I have my trusty Wythern to at least make it bearable while I am firing potatoes at the enemy.
and how am I going to improve my AA? Shooting at heavy tanks? This type of comment just shows that you only know how to play tank and the plane tree has never been researched.
this has become the biggest “pay to win” game of all time, they create more and more technological fucking jets but the AAs literally suck in comparison, if we then evaluate the lower tiers the AAs are practically useless against planes! !! why can’t I use AA in air battles and yet jets and planes can be used in ground battles!! I have come to a conclusion after many years of playing, I will no longer give a measly penny to these people who only think of filling their own pockets
The game has become like one of those horrible mobile phone games where there is not even the slightest attempt to hide the money grabbing nature of it all.
it has been suggested many times, without NEVER accomplishing anything, on the contrary, they have only made things worse…it has become disgusting to play in land battles, you always die from those fucking jets and you have very little chance with the AA available. It’s important to earn money…
Actually it has never been Suggested, ever (AirRB with player controlled ground).
Nor has TO, ever.
Edit:
(We do have a comprehensive poll on the GFRB model however, if you have not looked at already. And bare in mind many other polls have been closed and locked while this one is seemingly kept as a more helpful one)
the problem is that there is too much gap between planes and jets and the AA… this is the real problem in land battles, and instead of improving it, they make it worse and worse… Do you want to use a jet? well, you will need 2500 points… do you want to use the atomic bomb? 3000 points… you see that then the battles will be “land battles”…
I know, there are many issues in WT, and many different people with different wants and expectations.
The almost impossible hurdle is communication with Gaijin, but that in part requires a concerted effort to put ideas to them in a meaningful way.
We already know that currently the possibility for different spaces for the various needs of the diverse population is low. In regards to TO we know the semi-official response was “no”, and no further communication regardless of presence of discussions in the RB forum.
Then there is the discussion of balancing CAS in current modes (not in the context of balancing ground and air directly, which is obviously impossible due to the nature of the classes), which of courss does not help those wanting a TO experience. And so far is this just a discussion (Balance CAS) with no successful conclusion but maybe some interesting ideas.
The inclusion of more modern weapon systems has made this subject all the more difficult.
I would not want to get into the finer details as this is a subject often turning sour. I just see the options available are to convince those who press the buttons of what you want (when it comes to argumentation to Gaijin pointing out dislike of current GFRB has proven to be ineffective and I feel detracts from getting people together to push them for definitive responses) or understand this game is set up in such a way not entirely directed at those enjoying the ground combat (when it is down to ground on ground).
Something has to change with the way people are showing their disagreements with what WT offers; I think it is fair to say we are no closer to solving these questions. Without directly asking Gaijin players are just shouting into a void.
Edit: and it is not entirely true no Suggestion has been made, as I stated before. The existence of this thread and the Poll by Richardtheguy show there is space for the idea, hopefully a response will come when the Poll has had time and maybe a more cohesive pitch to the Devs.
It is sad to see no advancement of the Topic at all.
There is the TO side, then there is Gaijin. But the TO side generally just want to argue and never move it forward even after countless prods and pokes to do so. To often blaming those questioning the more extreme rants as if this has stopped any proactive discussion (the opposite is often the reality).
Sadly it appears those wanting TO just want to argue on the forum and hardly ever do anything proactive, apart from the Poll thread.
And then the new topics again and again because they for some reason will not discuss here. I mean you could read a lot into all this.
Best of luck to those actually after a TO, there are too many VOCAL supporters that are just here to argue and never ever push the topic beyond the 2018 topic on the old forum. Over SIX years and still not engaging Gaijin but just trying to pick fights with others… shame.
(Deflection from this being in TO supporters and Gaijin’s hands solely is perfect proof of the situation).
