I’ve only read through the first 60 replies then skimmed the rest. So I very well might have missed where someone else said this. If they did, I apologize for bringing up the same points.
But so far everytime I see a reply that disagrees with OP they list their pros of why it’s better now and none of them have anything to do with the actual gameplay experience. Almost all of them mention the economy and shiny new toys that were added.
The economy is what comes after the gameplay. Plus it was never really a problem for me and they were always going to add new vehicles and trees. So I don’t really see how any of that has any bearing on the actual gameplay.
It definitely seems like everything has turned into a flat out sprint to the enemy’s spawn and no one has a care in the world about tactics or losing their vehicle and that absolutely feels like the wrong direction and the gameplay has suffered because of it.

GRB has just become arcade. It seems odd as the average age of the player base is not that of children from what I can see so why do they insist on dumbing down GRB?
If you had just read and didn’t argue with imagined stuff you would have noticed i told it outright several times.
Sorry you just talk shit and none of it is relevant to the OP
It was supposed to be relevant to your argument, not the OP. That’s why i responded to you.
Telling you you are wrong, not that the OP is wrong.
I basically agreed with the OP and just said the same thing as the OP so I have no idea what you are on about then and now sorry.
Cause the vast majority are fine with how the game plays. The economy was main driving force behind the community for years. However, after all the economic changes it lost of force behind it.
Cause honestly that’s how most people play video games these days.
Nobody ever made a video game to appease all comers. Total War is not Tekken, GTA is not FIFA.War Thunder needs to settle on what it is and what it wants to be.
Only then can it do what it does well.
Except, War Thunder is a free to play game, which it means it’s more vulnerable to the wants of the player base. Besides, they’ve settled on they are and want to be. A free to play military vehicle combat game.
It doesn’t run on thin air ,its needs people to spend and who has the cash kids or adults?
ARB matchues end to quick spend more time in match maker, lobby, runway and climbing than actual flying and fighting. Something needs to be done like spawn 2 or 3 times so we have better matchies instead of going back to hanger and starting the prematch process all over again. Its just so slow and repetitive between matchies, far to much rinse and repeat for what one gets out of it, a match can be over before you climb to a respectable altitude

hey… i just spawned.
I didn’t read all the topic, but my 2 cents is that the matchmaking in tandem with how maps is designed is notoriously bad event questionable in some cases.
My conclusion after some years on the game is gaijin is never going to fix that. People complaining about balancing here and there but as long the game grows and new stuff added the situation is getting worse and worse, and with the new map design… cherry on the top.
A simple increase on BR bracket to 12.7 on ground battles could be a good start at least with some decompression all across the board, but i don’t believe this is even considered.
So i hang around some more but i don’t hope on anything and my advice, take it as it is.
Just my 2 cents.

I don’t really know how else to explain it. Maybe a simple picture would do the magic?
Anyway, I’ll try again:
Cockpits = tiny = less required effort = less $$$
Tank interiors = huge = much more required effort = MUCH more $$$
Therefore:
Effort put in WT: aircraft > tanks
Ehm… All i said is that you can see less effort being put into tanks, by the fact that they don’t have interiors.
I didn’t say they should have them.
I said they would be needed for sim, but i also said the correct course of action is deleting sb gf, not making interiors.
What are you trying to do here?
And the F-20A is a premium… and $75!
This is an absolute joke. One of the most anticipated and hyped aircraft is a top rank premium when Gaijin has explicitly said they won’t be adding top tier premiums.
Air RB is going to be even more of a mess. This game purely caters to the lowest common denominator - brain dead player.
Air RB is just a money grabbing ponzi scheme at this point. There’s no skill involved and minimal enjoyment to be had.
It’s becoming the McDonald’s of gaming.

No they changed it to maxed BR vehicles. Also it’s only $5 more than the current rank VII premiums.
That’s certainly what they’re saying now but they were very clear recently that they wouldn’t be adding top rank premium vehicles but Gaijin also said alot of other stuff that wasn’t true.
Hopefully there is a tech tree version at some point but i doubt it. I just hope they don’t make this thing 11.3 or 11.7. Really should be 12.0 like the F16 ADF since it shares a very similar loadout and flight characteristics.
It’s just another cash grab and that feels like this entire game now.
Everything in this game has just boiled down to a cash grab. Even the game modes are designed around shuffling you in and out of matches as fast as possible to induce frustration.
It’s just become a cheap game IMO.
The Clash of Clans of vehicle combat games.
I miss the old tank cannon sounds so much, sure it’s more “realistic” but that’s not always a good thing
The old Soviet 152mm and 122mm were simply iconic, the old conqueror 120mm sound was amazing as well
