Example?
Please don’t talk about SPAA
I think thy should have scrapped it like all the other paper German vehicles.It causes more trouble than it worth.A great ridiculous carbuncle making the game a joke.There is enough fantasy garbage in 6-7 BR with out having that silly thing to face as well.
One statement contradicting the other?
The Maus was removed,then put back.Now I think it is just a great big mistake Gaijin are forced to live with.
The only people who dont seem to mind are those who have played for so long and are so bored they just treat the whole game as a joke anyway,maybe that is the key to having fun.I can kind of understand that,I am losing respect for the game and maybe even becoming a better player as a result.
It is the newer players who come in expecting a serious ,historical game some how relative to reality and are disgusted to see this great fantasy monster sucking out any remaining immersion that may of been left in the game .All you can really do is finally give in and bow to the silliness.
It is a real shame and I do feel somewhat tricked into believing War Thunder was one thing when it turned out to be another.
Maybe I need to take my Maus ,paint it pink and cover it in anime body pillows to fit with the rest of you guys.
This makes me wonder why there is still such an opposition towards “controversial vehicles” like the German Trinity or the R2Y2’S or the O-I.
I am with your comment, War Thunder is Semi-historical at best and the vehicle choices should be allowed to reflect this. In my opinion.
It depends on how you set your stand out when making a game.I have Saints Row the third and it was silly,mad and brilliant.Fallout 4 is a silly fantasy riddled with plot holes but fun .
I just expected much more from War Thunder I didn’t expect to put it into the same bracket as the above games with the need to suspend disbelief in the same way.
If you model vehicles historically then it is logical to expect them to be played historically at least in same era settings with the appropriate map.I have never played a WW2 tank game set in 80s Sun city or Modern Holland before.Why should I be happy with doing so?
I know we agree on much of this so I am not attacking anybody but it seems the problem is which direction does war thunder take it seems to please nobody while trying to please everybody.

Which is, forgive my language, TOTAL BULLSHIT.
Heavy tank’s should be hard to kill frontally, to encourage people to flank and do things other than blindly rush forward.
The only things that should be effective at killing Heavies frontally are other heavies, and Tank destroyers.
They are hard to kill frontally. Unless you have a great cannon, you need to aim for a small weakspot.
The maus is just one exception due to it being so armoured.

Even the 20 pounders can KO it easily, the TORTOISE even.
IS-6 cannot.
Nor can M48s, T34, etc.
Of course I’m talking 7.7s and below.
You mention 8.0s of which Maus is not.
Also you forget to mention that the lol-pen spot for most of the 8.0s is the gunner-loader spot on the turret, they cannot pen the hull front; and if the Maus angles then the turret becomes far more difficult to deal with.

Glad you’ve seen me giving you respect and treating you as an equal.
Okay, I’ll try this next time I see a Maus
It has no explosive filler so it doesn’t do a lot of damage, and if the turret’s angled it can’t pen.
