What was expected was answers that didn’t shift the blame onto the players.
Q: Any improvements for heli PvE mode?
A: No, its niche people don’t play it.
Q: Can we see bigger ground maps?
A: No, players like small maps where one team gets pushed all the way to their spawn.
Q: Can we have more map bans?
A: No, players already ban enough maps.
Kinda disappointed into hearing that they don’t prioritize ww2 era, considering the ww1, interwar and ww2 era of the game is far from “complete” the actual fun comes from the lower tiers, top tier is just so repetitive and tiring.
I do hope they do an update focusing on the ww1 to ww2 era, there are so but so many interesting vehicles missing, that really need to be added, and not only as 1 time events, because what about new players? So they completely just miss out on those vehicles? And if they want they have to buy them at the market place (if possible) that’s ridiculous…
Click bait clowns outperforms half of the top tier MBTs anyway
This Q&A consolidated why I will end up quitting the game, they have no intention to make it anything but a shooter with tanks.
-No new game modes for tanks or air.
-Ever shrinking maps for top tier, because “instant action” = head on boring braindead gameplay
-HARMs making CAS stronger
-Events being “pointless tests” that go nowhere
-Regenerative steering somehow making the gameplay worse?
-They value fast-paced gameplay over anything strategic
I don’t know man, this just confirms all my suspicions about the leadership of the game devs, they don’t care about everything that’s wrong with the game.
Player base:
This gamemode is bad, its not fun, its buggy and the players with FnF just dominate. Therefore we dont want to play it. Can you fix it, make it better and/or add helis elsewhere like Air Sim so that we can play helis somewhere other than GRB?
devs:
Heli PvE is barely played so we dont see the reason to change it and we think GRB is good enough anyway
Maps aren’t actually getting smaller.
The whole idea is to keep players focused on fighting each other, so that they get all that action, instead of just spreading out all over the map, because that slows everything down.
Translation: We want to reduce the level of skill required for each map in order to keep low level clickbait, and UE1 players engaged and to feel like it’s a COD game.
As things stand now, the reality of tank battles at high levels is that most players prefer smaller maps and faster-paced matches
Does any top tier player actually prefer these small maps? If so, is it because large maps are poorly made?
if players were truly tired of the classic missions with one or three objectives, they’d have already stopped playing and switched to something else.
Riiight, it’s totally not like you have a monopoly on this type of genre…
Why add duplicate vehicles across nations instead of unique ones?
That’s a bit of a misconception. We don’t add such vehicles instead of unique ones — we add them alongside unique vehicles.
That is a purposely misleading answer and you know it.
Unique in your eyes is any vehicle that has a very slight modification. In the playerbase’s eyes, it is two or more vehicles that have near exact capabilities.
The 64E is a good recent example of that. Only V4.5+ or V6 can use the JAGMS. Both the Taiwanese and Japanese don’t operate any of those variants. I’ll give leeway to japan because they actually need something but China?
When they add the SepV3 and M1A2T, I won’t be surprised if they apply that same inconsistent compatibility standard (which was only meant for aircraft btw) and just give both tanks the same loadout and armor with minor tweaks.
From this entire video, all I heard is that “it’s not our fault, it’s what the playerbase wants”
It’s a cycle.
Ignore mode > less people play it >mode gets ignored because no one plays it > repeat.
The same thing happened with heli PvP, and fixing that would not have required a ton of effort.
I was expecting the real answers to a real problems we have in game currently, but what we get:
“When will we finally get the ability to ban more than one map?”
No.
I just leave no comments here…
“Is there is something planned to improve the plaer experiene of Helicopter PVE game mode?”
“Niche game mode.” We don’t have any active or in progress plans for it’s additional development right now.
The state of this mode is awful and barely playable long enough already. SPAA’s spawning beneath you, vehicles driving under the ground level, vehicle spawns are extremely inconsistent etc. And there is still only 2 “tiers” available: 8.7-9.3 and 9.7-11.0 which forces helicopters like BO-105 to play alongside top tier helicopters that are wiping the whole map.
WHITE ROCK FORTRESS RAHHHH FINALLY!
I’ve waited so long for this
Yep, its happening with Air Sim. They wont update it, let alone a new map, less people play it, therefore they wont update it. I have basically stopped playing the gamemode I actually prefer in War Thunder because im just bored of it, and as a result, im barely playing WT full stop
In my opinion, every major update should introduce one high-rank and one medium-rank vehicle for each nation. This is because the medium-rank vehicles have been neglected, and he claims that there are approximately 40 World War II vehicles per year. However, these 40 vehicles include half of the nations’ copies of the M44, 55, a variety of vehicles that do not require premium, and so on. This is a specific issue.
It’s better to not get a vehicle at all than it is to get a copy paste in my opinion.
It’s like they never actually gauged in the real opinion of top tier players, “the playerbase” is not just M1 clickbaits and T-80UEs. Just ask anyone here or even big Youtubers that will tell you the same, small maps straight up suck for top tier.
20 questions except we deny everything and top it off by re-using an old map as fan service.
Not sure if this was worth the wait 🤔
I see a lot of people wanting more ww2 content and even ww1 and their answers is to add more of those vehicles sporadically and occasionally here and there, or 1 time events? Idk man, this kinda feels like ignoring one big part of your player base.
“Everything is your fault, bombers are being tweaked and white rock is coming back”
Is that basically it?
Also the reply to the copy paste question is abhorrent, if that were the case, where is the UK revenge class for example?
Real, they just basically said “no” to everything and announced White Rock Fortress is coming back, this had to be the worst Q&A they’ve ever made.
I found the answers quite satisfactory regarding what is being considered in the Gaijin; at least the bombers will have increased survivability now. But we really need big maps in top tier
We don’t do anything - players don’t like it - we don’t do anything because players don’t like it.
That’s so gaijin.
People love world war 2… but they refuse to do more of that! xd
