War Thunder is Going to die in 2-4 Years

Tha gem has grown massively since they added the f14 tomcat. It hasnt grown because the quality got better it has grown because they added modern iconic ground and air vehicles. The game only real Improvement in recent times was the econ patch.

If it wasnt for the fact gaijin lets players skip the entire process of getting good which means you have incredibly bad players at brs in which people are grinding 100ds of thousands of rp which essentially leads to rng matches in which the one with most least low level premium wins. This problem is 10 times worse in grb because you have multiple spawns and the skill relies mostly on map knowledge.

Igniring top tier for a while is exactly what needs to happen, 90% if the problems at top tier exist and are arguably worse at lower brs.

Theyre not and you know it.

No alternative, addiction, sunk cost fallacy.

Gajin has no competition because once upon a time they did something right.

😐

I dont mind ahistorical decorations personally but eh i can see why he doesnt like it.

True but that has really nothing to do with the inherent quality of the game as much as it has to do with the complete lack of any competition

A wall of text with a breakdown section by section doesn’t make a quality post… It’s just a common way of making an argument that you’re trying to literally flood the opponent with lines so they have to take more time segementing up their response to your response, which then ends up in literally no-one reading the post at all, and just rage-clicking that like button ignorant to the true mentioning of what’s inside the post.

You’re only targetting them because they are a moderator, and you see them as staff.

The thread should’ve been closed long ago because the game isn’t dying, it’s only those who are upset with what’s being added that try and say that.

Armored Warfares players were the same… All cut up about the game being hard and not working for them, jumped ship like rats to join AW, AW turned out to be trash, they still tried to say it wasn’t, and I’d BET you that most everyone who fled to there are still back here.

Just riled players, having trouble with a game they want to play, and get good in, but can’t.

I love how you said

Just to then make a wall of text saying nothing of value what so ever.

Not really its just the most indepth response and its one i very much disagree with, instead of talking shit you should try to counter my arguments

It’s hilarious people continue to defend this game so valiantly. Gaijin has yet to balance the game, but they claim it is balanced. Gaijin has won the war, and now they are doing exactly what their former competitors done: pay to win. They refuse to listen to the average players, but will implement a niche thing that a very vocal minority demands. People want a Tanks Only mode, and rather than give the people what they want, they give us a Copy-Paste vehicle. People want bugs fixed, but Gaijin keeps adding more bugs. People want decompression, fix the BR system, lax the uptiers to -.3/+.7, but Gaijin constantly refuses to do that, but will add in more vehicles that will destroy the BRs.

I find tank only to be extreme imo. What we need is proper cas balancing

No-where near the wall of text you put out.

And the value of which is just your opinion.

I’m not talking shit, I’m actually saying why your segmentation isn’t read, because it’s a response to an 8 month old post, made to create an argument by just trying to say ‘Ackshually No’ in really really long format.

8 month old is irrelevant i didnt see what date it was it was at the top of the game discussion category

It’s not my fault you can’t read dates…

It makes sense. We have an Air Only mode, we can’t bring our SPAAs into that to blow up planes, so why shouldn’t we get a mode dedicated to tank warfare AND balance CAS.

@NewDawnSets
That is what’s called nitpicking and using personal standards.
Refer to the many, many quoted statements:

At some point you and others will acknowledge this.

@Zannafrancy12
War Thunder’s quality is well and above its competitors. Which is why so many posts disingenuously try to claim those competitors aren’t competitors due to how War Thunder keeps gaining quality and expanding the disparity between it and them.

“Those can’t be competition, they’re worse!”
“Those can’t be competition, its gameplay is different in a way that makes the game uninteresting to me!”
Both of which are statements of competition, and the competition is not for you.

You’re here on the forum, you play War Thunder, and you admit the competitors are worse for you.
Congrats, your statements admit there’s competition.

There are players that will play AC7 all day and despise War Thunder, that’s AC7 winning over a player that would otherwise potentially play War Thunder arcade.

We actually had that at one stage.

For many of us, there are no alternatives. DCS isn’t on Xbox, nor are most games that are considered competitors. I think we get WoT and that series, but that’s about it. War Thunder is a crossplatform game, which is why it has many players: since it is the only one we get.

Let me guess, “waaah, ADATS OP!”

No, it wasn’t that high a BR… But it was there.

DCS also doesn’t have a mouse and keyboard control scheme like War Thunder, Starfield, or Star Citizen.

That’s War Thunder adding a feature that its competitors don’t tend to have to make it more alluring for people that want to play military vehicle games.

My entire point is just cause the competitors’ games are a worse experience does not mean they’re not competition.
War Thunder has added thousands of features, vehicles, and optimizations since release all to catch up and stay ahead of competition.

I came on the scene in like 2022, so I don’t know all the specifics. All I remember was Type 16 was supposedly the best tank (or most modern, one of the two), F4S was the best jet ever (yeah no), and there was a funny 1.0 tank that could dominate +4 BRs above (I don’t know what it was).

Personally I couldn’t tell you what War Thunder has over anyone else, simply because the competition caters to PC players. Don’t get me wrong, I love War Thunder, I just view that it could do better, be better. They have the ability.

but the problem with game devs these day is that even if they have the money and ability they dont want to do it, because they already have money and they dont have to try to make more money

Oh, there’s plenty of room for improvement.
All I’m saying is War Thunder today is far and above improved over 2013 War Thunder.

Back in 2015, NOTHING was as good as War Thunder, AC7, DCS, World of Tanks, etc is today.
Every military combat game was just so much worse, and I thankfully only remember fragments of it.

And War Thunder will keep improving every major update to stay ahead of competitors, as they’ve always done.

No, not all the added features are glittery, but most of them are vastly important features.
There’s an AI overhaul they very much need to make EC modes better; and there’s signs of progress this last major update.

the problem is do they want to improve or not, you can clearly see they dont
theres probably thousand of vehicle bug report they havent fix, if they just fix it once in a while or fix it after every update they would have been fine, they would be able to make more money without having to think about fixing bugs which i doubt they even care rn because they are making money doing minimal work, and its only when they need to hit the quota again they make some model and half if not 80% of the model they make are lock behind paywall
