I’ve been playing this game for years, literally since it first came out, and I’m at the point where I don’t even know what to say anymore. It feels like the devs have completely stopped listening to the community and are just heading left with everything.
The maps are trash. Period. Both sides of the rotation are bad, the layouts are broken, and it’s like nobody actually tests how they play in real matches. Whether it’s ground or air, the maps don’t fit the vehicles we’re using. We’re flying Mach 2 jets on tiny maps and driving tanks into the same three corridors every single game. The whole rotation needs a total rework, not just small tweaks.
Then you look at the armor models and weapon penetration—it’s a joke. The pen points are not accurate at all. You can aim a perfect shot at a weak spot and it just “disappears” or does nothing because of the buggy volumetric armor. It honestly feels like everything is rigged for one-sided nation crap, especially with some of these Russian models surviving things they shouldn’t. The “realism” is gone when the damage is this inconsistent and feels like RNG.
Air is just as bad. Radar locks are a coin toss and missiles ignore physics whenever they feel like it. It’s all becoming one-sided and politically driven instead of just making a balanced, fun game.
You guys are leading this game into a hole. Stop worrying about the next shiny premium or whatever political stuff is going on and actually look at the base game. Go outside the box, fix the bugs, rework the maps, and listen to the people who have been here for a decade. Stop ignoring the community before there’s no community left to ignore.
lol bad map rotation is an understatement. I got Seversk-13(Winter) 7 times in a row. It’s my least favorite map
Yep. I just now hit a Panzer 3 at less than 100m with SU152 APHE and it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. With 143mm of pen at 100m, there is nowhere on a Panzer 3 that should allow for zero damage. The damage model is BEYOND a joke.
Oh hi there Ima Getcha, fancy seeing you here
I hope that you found the SAV 20.12.48 before it disappeared 🤣
Damn, I tried playing 3.7 with my Chaffee and the lobby got absolutely wiped by 2 dudes on their savs, easily a 4.3 vehicle but it just makes money for da snail
SAV is a pretty undertiered vehicle ngl.
”speed” is its first, second, and last name practically
however it’s armor is subpar, and requires position based play. 4.3 material for sure but I can’t see it going higher than that. Right? flashbacks to me killing two Tiger E in 5 seconds
for what it’s worth, I would take a Chaffee over the SAV almost in every occasion because it’s a better all rounder at 3.7. Less firepower for sure, but a lot less situational too. The SAV is great if u turn a corner and u see 5 panzers driving by, but the stabilizer on the M24 will dictate the fight usually. That why I have BOTH in my lineup 😈
mild headache
the best part about this image
this was a RICOCHET! THE ROUND DIDN’T PEN!
this gigantic hole is just the sheer kinetic energy smashing the plate
lol
And don’t get me started on the T34s less than 50mm front plate which so often can’t be penned. Why? Because of a driver’s hatch that miraculously make it all Vibranium.
These guys couldn’t program a microwave to reheat a Happy Meal let alone a reasonably complex volumetric damage model.
Chaffee arguably 4.0 material, one thing I never understood is why the M4A3 (105) is 3.0, it’s as good as the 3.7, only the shell drop can be difficult for new players to learn. Some low tier vehicles just tend to stay undertiered for a while
lol, but if u move Chaffee up, ppl are gonna spam 10000000000 threads on how it’s supposed to be 3.7, like the Falcon/DCA sabot fiasco right now. Same with the M4A3(105). Also random unrelated fact: the SAV’s HE round, Sgr M/50Z, should be HE-VT
Gaijin doesn’t give some shells to tanks for balance, HE-VT would be crazy at 3.7
I know. For accuracy there is two approaches:
- remove the letter “Z” from the round, since “Z” stands for “Zonar” which is Swedish for radar
- add HE-VT and ruin lobbies with it further
- give it HE-VT functionality and move it up to 4.3 minimum
at least for me, there’s an obvious choice lol
I also find it crazy that it is a 1948 vehicle fighting mid-ww2 vehicles
It’s more bias EVERY update. We know the Devs are Russian but why make it soo well known lol MI28nm the only helicopter with a forcefield and missiles that loft correctly. Fake KH38MTs are still in the game but they are gonna remove the Ho-RI lol BMPT is ungodly OP they are at this point a propaganda arm of the Russian government
Amen. I wholeheartedly agree.
Been playing since 2013, I hate what the game has become.
t honestly feels like everything is rigged for one-sided nation crap, especially with some of these Russian models surviving things they shouldn’t.
Welcome to Russia Thunder.
You can’t say that btw, it’s forbidden.
I always knew the MI-28NM had a special forcefield no other top tier helicopter has. It always seemed odd to me that MI-28NMs could avoid swarms of ARH missiles very high in the sky without being hit, while other NATO helicopters just get instantly hit by them.
But some people here say all helis act the same, and that there is no bias
I’ve been begging for Abandoned Factory for days now, and it has just vanished. Keep getting the same few trash maps. Not sure what is going on. I mostly disagree with all your other whines, though. Go play something else if you’re that restless.
Notice how all the game modes they experimented with get positive responses from the player but never get added or mentioned again. SEAD Mission? Nothing. Guns only top tier? Nothing. Bomber Escort mission? Naw.
Oh it used to be 2.7 for some fkn reason. Just the same as the B1 ter. Like how are those 2 tanks comparable in any way?
