It… literally isnt, and it does put you at a disadvantage in some cases. Lower-end stuff already has a fairly heavy disadvantage compared to proper gaming PCs, and trust me, I know.
ULQ is mainly used to get the competitive edge and ruins the experience for people who are not great at spotting, but want to at least have a level playing field in Ground RB. PCs that require ULQ are setups from 2011-2012 at most (PCs, not office laptops), you can buy something better for price of a bucket of KFC chicken.

Warthunder will only die in one case.
When there will be a game dev similar in values to Arrowhead and Larian studios. Make money, but not all the money, just enough to keep it running with treating playerbase right and fair.
Then Warthunder will vanish into oblivion and nobody will look twice.
Or literally anyone with a laptop w/o a GPU.
Which is a surprisingly large amount of people, and one of the reasons why WT is so appealing is, quite honestly, because it can run on a toaster. There are definitely issues with ULQ, but some of them are genuinely impossible to fix [Shadows being one of them lmao]
If there are any suggestions to improve it though, I would like to hear it.

During the Christmas holidays I had to play on a toaster that couldn’t run Word (Don’t ask, I don’t know either) and with ULQ I managed to get my dailies done etc… ULQ saved me there.

HA!
Honestly hilarious to be honest, even my uber-old laptop [The one I had before my last one] can run word - might see if it can run WT.

Problem is when players use high-end stuff on ULQ settings…they get no disadvantage from low-end performance and all the advantages of ULQ…
I play on PS4/5 and they give me autoaim to compensate for the lack of mouse, with two important “features”: (1) All players can use it and (2) It still maintains the mouse advantage (albeit lower)
I understand ULQ is a need and i agree it should exist…but players using it SHOULD NOT have an advantage…

Me as well when my GPU fried so I had to play on internal one to time when I was able to buy new computer. On ULQ I was able get playable FPS (20 - 30 FPS).
Ditch ULQ altogether.
Seriously, if anyone is into gaming, he has access to something better than 10$ PC a homeless man sold for 3 packs of cigarettes during covid or laptop stolen from office during Hurricane Katrina.
Not everyone can afford what you think is just $10…

That is not an option and will have a substantial impact, so no. I was asking on anything that you wold like changed, not wondering whether you wanted it removed entirely.
Eh, I think to a point some things are unavoidable [Shadows, for example], but I would be fine if we could narrow the gap. I do think there will always be a gap - it is inevitable, there will always be that “optimal” graphics setting.
Anything specifically you think could change about it, though?
I will do you one better - I predict that Warthunder may die in 1 to 200 years, IF there is not a total extinction event caused by a comet

Thx man, will try that but i am not really sure that will work.
But i read some guys are looking for some nice pieces of land in Greenland (either single pieces or the whole area) - a hell of natural cave systems which might help to survive radiation until you run out of food / family members…

Honestly it would finally free up my time. But I do understand where you are coming from never underestimate how many people in the coming years would join and do the same over and over again. In my take it would take longer than 2-4 years more like 8-10.
Because the focus here is to explain what happens when you make a bad game, i’ve said this directly to gaijin employees, forum moderators, etc… And it’s no different here, in these 12 years I’ve spent on this game, 12 years, man… every day, i see my peers leaving, the veteran players who take this game as seriously hobbie as I do. Not because they stopped liking it, but because the bad feelings about the game grew bigger than the good ones. There are players I met here who now know my family, and I know theirs. I’ve made friendships here that I’ll carry for life, most of what I’ve done was give positive and helpful feedback, but now gaijin is greedier than ever. It’s not a problem to be greedy and make a good product, the issue here is being greedy while not giving us a good game, that’s all there is to it
I don’t expect you to understand, people usually don’t, nut I’ve always had this virtue: not giving up on what I like just because there are bad people along the way. I always try to make things better because I have a purpose in it. I have a purpose playing this game. If the game dies, I’ll stop playing, but just because I play doesn’t mean I can’t have the critical sense to say, “look, everything’s terrible.”
You don’t get it, spending over a decade saying, “that was bad, this was bad, this isn’t good” calling out that X will happen, and then X happens, and more players get frustrated…
And trust me, I say this as a developer, it’s never a good idea to tell a user to stop using your app :)
No matter how unhappy the feedback is or how frustrated you feel
