I think you have a read / understand problem.
I understand your point of view…
The problem is my background on online gaming, specially on war themed games.
Regarding AB, I started with Microsoft CFS 1 2 3 … After that, Warbirds (probably the most exciting air battles game I ever played), IL2 with all edition, Lock-On… Even a little of DCS (too hardcore and more modern combate oriented)…
I think WT RAB could be fun (not a sim and not realistic) if no tags… For me it makes no sense you spot and know what enemy aircraft is from 1000km away. The prey is the fun part of the game…
New players tend to say that high BR are great… My opinion (not only on WT but in any game), you need less skill to use a missile lock, or use a laser range finder, to get a kill. You can give a new player a modern tank and he will hit a moving enemy tank at 2km, but he will miss all shots with a Nashorn at 500m…
Regarding new goals… Why? Why should I need to spade vehicles that I don’t like or use? Why should I care about skins?
Now… you #3… That you are 100% correct!!! I’m now spending more time on Hell At Loose, but even after 2 or 3 hours on it, I will go for 2 or 3 games on WT… it’s like a drug! =)

Take a temporary break, maybe only one month. I do that whenever I get burnt out.
Its really because war thunder only have little game modes. Arcade, Realistic, and Sim are basically the game just with varying difficulties. Assault Ground and Air are too repetitive, and single player missions dont give out much and gaijin probably left it as is since the last 10 years.
I bet Gaijin have the resources to improve the game and quality of life but they rather add new top tier vehicles, many of which are premiums, again, and again, and again. I really wish the game doesnt become another WoT situation.
Honestly, 2010s SPGs and 1980s LTS on otherwise mostly 1940s marches have been some of the worst additions in War Thunder’s history.
Why on Earth are PzH 2000s riding into battle alongside Tiger IIs?

unfortunately it is only a small % of the playerbase like us that still respect plausible immersion.

2010s SPGs? If you mean howitzers those are 1930s technology with exceptions for the one using thermals, and the ones using laser range finders… which are not facing early WW2 vehicles, and can’t even take out Tiger 2s in equal conditions.
I love the immersion of War Thunder, it puts me in the perspective of war games.
Saying that PzH is 1930s technology is like saying that Leopard 2A7V id xD
Just because it has the same basic structure (tracks, turret, gun…) it doesn’t mean its even in the same universe…
I used to- now M26s and Tiger IIs from the mid 1940s ride into battle alongside 2010s PzH 2000s, MILAN ATGM carriers from the 1980s, and other such aberrations,
I’m not advocating for a full historical MM, that would be disastrous… I understand that vehicles may need to face vehicles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 years newer/older for balance reasons… but 30-70 year differences is just way too much, completely out of place.
Indeed, plausible immersion is the keyword.
I’m not asking for historical MM; it’s fine for me for ASU-57, for example, to face older vehicles; because the vehicle itself doesn’t look or feel out of place at all. However, seeing a futuristic sci-fi present day system riding into battle along with mid-WW2 tanks just feels… wrong, to me, at least.

The howitzer standard used today was invented in the late 1930s.
The HE rounds existed since the 1930s just with minor changes.
That’s the context of tank v tank in direct line of sight.
The only thing that didn’t exist was laser range finders and thermals.
list of nice places to visit after you are done with WT (if you live in USA)
Until they are logged! #47 ordered to start logging in large amounts specifically on national parks.
hopefully the good ones will be spared. this is quite unfortunate news though, as someone who occasionally goes outside
And this is why I’m glad I’m so close to being done with the tech trees. I’m so close to being free.

That’s my issue too, if I’m not playing with friends, I spend 5 minutes in a game, 10 minutes wondering where my life went.
