the community doesn’t even care about gameplay basics
the sheer fact that ammo detonations are STILL RANDOM is really telling of that
fuel tank explosions are random as well
but they throw a fit if you dare not include a shitty top tier tank for a nation that doesn’t even need one…
This video single-handedly killed almost all of my hope in the future of this game.
This game will continue being how it is now for the foreseeable future, how sad.
Cntrl c+v spg, undertiered premiums and now anime… art direction is gone and so is the atmosphere the game once had.
I’ll probably still grind the fomo mig 25 event but after that: “With one or three objectives, they’d have already stopped playing.”
Okay I agree with the primary sentiment of this reply, but I still love the weird fascination some users have with being angry or displeased with the anime content that either can be turned of or simply ignored cause none of the skins included anime characters or anything, its the stupidest fixation of the last couple updates. Again though agree with the primary sentiment here.
Hey wow, a completely different game that is known for the mode and why people play it instead of asking for something different? Really got them this time Alvis.
Another topic on this forum got me thinking that perhaps a better video to have been made would have been an insight into how Gaijin approaches flash point topics within the game; giving players an depth view at the discussions, meetings, and such on how they come to a decision that they truly believe is best for everyone.
To the average War Thunder player, it wouls have been a pointless video. Sure. But to those players who routinely engage in forums such as here or Reddit or on Gaijin streams, it would have meant quite a bit. Or I’d like to think so.
I am not saying it needs to be on something as super hot as the review bombing a few years ago but…maybe it could have been on the topic like ASEAN nations and China. I would have enjoyed seeing a video that was styled like the old school Bungie ViDocs where we got to meet more of the War Thunder staff (if they were comfortable with us seeing them).
But to see Community Managers collecting comments, building reports or whatever their method is, meeting with BVVD or other devs staff, and actually show dialogue happening between the various branches would have been a significant bump in transparency and showing value to player engagement here.
In short a live streaming answering player coments live in YT/Twitch.

I wonder why the diversity of vehicles would shrink, maybe if we stoped getting copy pasta each update things would change, anyway, here is your brand new Su-30 for china everyone.
1:1 copy to the russian Su-30 premium
Im pretty sure he meant Diversity of vehicles as in the type of vehicles we will encounter would shrink like light, medium, heavies to just mostly heavies or just mostly lights etc… Not by Copy paste vehicles. Could be wrong, but that was my interpretation of it.
I think he means in terms of models, but that can be too
Dont forget that after saying premiums should give you no direct advantage, they added the BMPT-72 thingy as a premium that has 2 huge advantages over the TT version, and not just bc its functional and the TT one isnt lol
More armour from shrapnel generally
Higher protection from the likes of big guns and side armour is improved
It also has commander thermals over the TT
only “disadvantage” is 2 less crew but it will be one shot most likely and thus almost meaningless
I saw it on the devstream, Oxy saying that the premium would be a little better than the TT version, its hard to not hate this company
There is no hardline in War Thunder. The goal posts are moving constantly because Gaijin choses to move them. The best ones are when you get different answers from say a community manager and a bug report manager on the same issue.
That aside, I’m glad we’re finally getting some top tier-ish jets that have latest weapon systems.
Nah fuck this, if it was 13.7 i would have no problem, but at 13.3 is obviously downtiered
Nah bro I love stock grinding my 12.3/12.7 jets against a clearly hard to fly top tier premium
What do you mean BR spread of ±0.7!? Think about the waiting times, doesn’t anyone think about the waiting times?!
I’m a bit curious and wanted to ask Who do people prefer, the current Game Director Bulannikov or Anton?
How about none?
…and are not interested in player feedback.
I mean we were told that ai planes won’t have a ticket impact (in Air RB) in order to avoid the situation that ai turns around games without player input.
This is flat wrong.
I invite everybody to watch this replay:
Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
or to read this summary:
Unbalanced Maps in Air RB - Feedback thread - #5 by Real_K_Soze
Based on the replay or my summary it is more than obvious that gaijin is not aware of that their statements are wrong (ai plane ground kills won’t have ticket impact) and that even if players try to put their attention on that, these efforts are useless.
You can win there without any action as ai will win for you ; same as on some Pacific maps.
To make things even worse: This nonsense with late spawning ai planes (imho the only map with this “feature”) was already part of this map long before they changed this map into a “Frontline” map. My Bug report is still open.
So from a holistic pov it looks more like that the chances that our cat would get a job as corporate security consultant are way higher than that gaijin would be able (or willing) to fix even basic flaws in Air RB…
