Better modes… or actually just longer maps.
There’s no use on having laser rangefinders, APFSDS, and 3rd gen thermals if you’re engaging within the same distance of a WW2 combat. Even IRL tank crews laugh at that when they notice it in War Thunder.
It becomes obvious that top tier eventually becomes a glorified, late WW2 battle.
The game needs better gamemodes yes, SP system needs an overhaul yes, but air join as air is too much a change to conventional RB. World War is good with it, squad bettle is good with it, but not random teams.
air join in grb is probably a bad thing for those that just want tanks. it would need to be a entirely new game mode built around that idea
This is just not true though. Maybe only at the top tier. But I have had many games where I felt like I had done pretty much nothing to contribute and was still somehow able to spawn ina fully loaded plane.
i wish if we get one full year focus on gameplay/br/more tanks model reworks/more balance / bombers / strike aircraft / more cap point for ground rp / new ai targets or even bases to destroy on ground rb !
the list is big but my point is just full year of focusing on core gameplay.
i play essentially only top tier. maybe the sp system is different, im not sure.
I’d get behind this. If they didnt add one single newvehicle but rather fixed the ones in the game or spent time on new modes etc etc id fully back that.
agree’d. i think leaving grb alone is best. tank folks deserve their own mode. i hope they make new and seperate mode.
And the game needs basic match making mechanics. They should at least balance teams on total lineup sizes, the amount of total vehicles that both teams can spawn should be equal within a certain number like ±5, this is such a basic match making mechanic that should have been implemented once the game got popular enough.
Also the fact that there is still no BR match making system is absurd, you can have a team with almost all +1 br vehicles facing one with just a few, even games like wows and wot had tier balancing systems from day one, this should have been a day one mechanic at least for air rb but we still somehow dont have it…
speak up. if we say nothing they will never know. i think its important we tell them exactly what we want from the game.
Now that´ll be a funny game-mode. I see all the Leroy_Jinkenses spawning their CAS-planes and no one spawns a ground vehicle.
Wrong. Have dedicated roles. CAS team vs anti air team.
That’s even worse somehow.
what’s worse is this game stay the same ole same and those who support that.
I’d prefer the game staying the way it is over adding the horrible idea you had yesterday
The recent playtest for deep strike I thought had a lot of potential. Even if it’s relegated to just world war modes, I loved the fact that there were no player markers, there were fixed loadouts and there were actual objectives that required teamplay to achieve.
I don’t think it’s feasible to ask for something like dynamic campaigns ala Falcon BMS as it’s not the style of the game, but having more dynamic mission targets would be a great step in the right direction.
For ground I’m not really sure what could be added outside of a major overhaul with infantry, either player controlled or otherwise. GHPC has recently been teasing their “command mode” for their infantry deployment and I feel like something similar would be really cool for war thunder. The idea that you can designate areas you want your troops to defend, drive up to the point and have them dismount and follow your orders is really cool.
BIGGER Maps! Randomised spawnpoints to counter spawnraping, making it so the enemy team has to switch from pushing to defend to wait and see where the new attack is coming from. Similar to something like “opening a new front” ;). More points for downing aircraft in another aircraft/SPAA making anti cas more compeling and rewarding. Add Base defenses similar to those at Airfields to counter spawnraping.
Even just making all plane kills gibve the same reward regardless of rank would be better. You spawn spaa and kill like 3 planes but get nothing for it since people spawned 6.0 vehickes in an 8.7 match or something to that effect. Those planes are still laden with bombs and can get the same amount of kills as an early cold war jet
i was devastated i missed this. the one time they do something like this and i was out of town. seemed to be just what we need
bigger maps and longer matches. i feel once i get into the air the match is over. as someone who plays grb for CAS its beyond frustrating. id love an open lobby of sorts that last much longer. being a free game, they’re incentivized not to do this and make the grind as painful as possible.
