The War Thunder Roadmap for Spring to Summer 2024

Air EC is something that has been continually asked for since its removal, demand has even increased since the additions of more and more modern vehicles effecting how normal rb plays. Especially now that the playerbase has grown a tremendous amount since 2016 or so when they removed it, and EC modes already available for both naval & heli’s - there is little left to argue against adding an RB EC for air and potentially even ground. My personal greatest WT wishlist item would be to see a fully mixed EC mode encompassing all branches of vehicles in one setting. I’m glad to see more and more CC’s nowadays picking up on the need for EC and I hope we do see it back again as a permanent mode soon.

I would love an EC ground mode. Would fix all my issues with GRB

Have you even played recently with the awful limited size maps

Not impressed. Bots and cheaters still prevalent. Zero reduction in grind. Zero increase in RP or SL multipliers. Stringing us along with the “new nations” bonus BS. No easy fixes like double XP weekends/first match. Grind forever or pay to decrease it by a few matches.

It should, as it will probably remove

and have only one in files

Fingers crossed then

As I said, they’re 100% old maps.
All the new maps aren’t limited and are larger.

same, i would love to see an EC for ground so much

Here’s hoping their AI development sees fruit.

They’re not when the maximum engagement range gets smaller and smaller

Alot of planes are heavily balanced via minimum fuel count. I don´t think they thought this trough completely. Hundreds of planes will need BR rebalance after this change.
Though I welcome the change and yesterday for example was playing the F-84F in SB and only could choose between 8m and 20m and was like “damn, I wish we had a custom fuel slider” lol then 1 day later boom.

how about BR decompression :D

You ask for too much 😂

Really hard to imagine the 2024 roadmap feedback included “I love the BR system and everything is fine.” or “I’m so happy with the current grind time in RP and SL terms.”

It’s never gotten smaller cause it’s always been 0 meters…
I think you mean maximum which has only gotten longer.
The largest ground map wasn’t even 2x2km when ground was introduced, now it’s over 4x4km with the largest map in the game released in 2021.

@Tristacomand
Decompression without the separate ground & air BRs is different and requires separate work to that with.
And I am more than fine with the current grind in SL terms cause it was buffed far above what it ever was previously.
RP for skill is an improvement as well as foldered vehicles, and I anticipate their plan for those that completed a tech tree.

Well you didn’t played this for long(he registered 29th Nov. 2023) ,… that’s why you think that, trust me, this is the first time Gaijin show as much real interest in Player feedback.

talking about maps, when are we ever gonna get the ability to choose or possibly vote for what map we want to play? it’s been ages since i’ve had a match in pradesh or hell even fulda or volokolamsk
it’s just the same old maps with the same old “here’s your city here’s your open field next to it”

haha yeah, well its great to finally see the fuel balancing issue finally resolved. BR should be the only balancing measure in game, not arbitrary limits placed on vehicles such as armament & fuel limits - and its nice to see the player agency increasing in regard to your vehicle set up choices. Will be interesting to see where a lot of vehicles end up in the br’s after the change tho for sure.

Have you checked on your potential feature?
There is something that exist in the game (i just don’t recall where)

there’s some things that are “depending on players votes”, where and when can we vote?
