I’ve been playing War Thunder since 2012, and I think a lot of you can relate—we’ve come a long way together. We’ve gone through a lot over the years: the crazy repair costs, Silver Lions struggles around the “La Royale” update, the review bombing era, and then things improving again when the devs actually started listening and introduced the roadmap that kept players more engaged for a while. Remember that period?

But right now, something feels off.

$80 for what feels like a copy-paste aircraft, like the Super F-14?

The addition of anime-style content that feels out of place?

Strange tank traction physics that make vehicles feel like they’re sliding on oil?

A general feeling that feedback from the community is being ignored, while premium vehicle prices keep increasing?

War Thunder has always stood out as a unique game—with its detailed damage model, combined arms gameplay, and impressive selection of tanks, aircraft, and ships. That’s exactly why it’s frustrating to see bombers in their current state feeling so underpowered compared to how they used to be back in the day, when they actually had impact in matches.

Seriously.

Do you remember 2023? Where are the roadmaps that you jave used to share with us?

You haven’t even introduced any kind of new game mode since Assault update.
See this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR9A4L8PRGU&t=337s

  • This video proved. gaijin can learn from that guy when it comes to game modes

strike Aircrafts bombing and Fighters covering. tanks on the ground and SPAAs as well

  • most of the comments are like ‘’ Gaijin have no excuse to not have any single game mode close to this ‘’

Now the game is full of AI slope, Goom war thunder… what the hell is wrong with you Gaijin?
The game is dying and WE WON’T LET YOU RUIN IT!

Roadmaps were replaced by Community Disclosures.

They tried fixing tank physics, but it made the problem worse so they went back to the drawing board; Also, the fact all MBTs in the game over-perform in mobility likely is the #1 contributor to that feeling.
I wish they’d fix MBTs over-performing, but I do wonder what community backlash will be like if Centurion starts accelerating ~20% worse.

Hey!
To answer some of your questions:

These were replaced by the Community Updates. Which are more frequent and contain things players request on a regular basis. From features, fixes, improvements and vehicles too. As well as important developer commentary. The most recent one can be found here: Community Update No.11: Nuclear Escalation, Sound Mods & More

We have actually had two test waves of the brand new Nuclear Escalation mode, one just over a week ago, with it returning again in the future: [Development] Nuclear Escalation: The Fight Continues! - News - War Thunder

We welcome valid suggestions for new modes and other features you would like to see here: Suggestions - War Thunder — official forum

Or if its feedback on the major update, then its also welcome here: War Thunder "Heavy Cavalry" - Changelog
