It seems we now have a clear picture of what Gaijin’s developers actually do in the office. Instead of steadily addressing issues and improving the game, they spend months doing little—only to rush in a chaotic flood of changes right before a patch deadline.
And honestly, I’m not sure which is worse. If they actually worked consistently during the three months between updates, they might introduce so many changes that fixing them would be impossible.
Then comes a month of so-called “testing,” where—by some miracle—they fail to spot any major bugs. In reality, they just ignore reports on the forums and the bug-reporting system.
They create a dedicated forum thread announcing the test server, yet don’t bother reading player feedback about critical issues. Instead, they redirect everyone to the bug-report portal—which, by the way, is a complete mess.
The staff handling these reports often don’t even understand the problems. And if reproducing a bug requires launching the game? The report gets ignored. It’s almost as if they’re incentivized to close tickets quickly rather than actually fix things properly.

I mean, that’s what they said it would be: “Now, the probability of an AI gunner shooting down an aircraft stays high only if the aircraft flies head-on to the gun and does not maneuver.”
Crossing targets overhead need to be engaged by humans now, I guess.

I know they’ve got to make money and I’ve spend a decent amount on this game but they shouldn’t be making more and more premiums each update to replace tech tree tanks
Well… thats kinda the issue, perhaps I need to go and find the replay, he basically did fly straight and didnt maneuver. and the guns did not hit

So, do the guns still screw over torp bombers but now don’t also screw over fritz x carriers?
I’ve yet to be in a situation for something coming straight at me with a torp. But I did have to tank his Fritz X
Would be quite peeving if it still hinders torp bombers. Far more skillful than just dropping a fritz. Or if it hinders even skip bombing.
The kill notification in the middle of the screen is about as annoying as it gets. It was fine how it was. Now i have to click resume to get it off so I can get to my next vehicle. Put it up in a corner or something and make it small. Why make something that was decent worse. Not happy with this change. Put it back to how it was already. 1 day and I’m already sick of it.

I think it just needs a little polish.
But certainly no excuse for not giving Warspite and Renown HE-VT now
Was looking at Warspite to give a reason to take wyvern into naval. But doesn’t look the most flash 😿
Which is a shame, is about the only British boat I’ve any fondness for. That, and Dreadnought.
I’ve not done Warspite stock grind, so cant comment fully, but Barham was okay. A bit heavy, but fine (at least before this update)

To me “head on at the gun” means “head on at the gun,” so the plane would have to be diving at you :)
Eh… I think a bomber, flying level only 2km away should be eventually hit after 5-10 seconds or so to get lead?
Would be the most sound logic.
20G IRCCM Missile cant hit a jet and why it make such a bow like the spyder and SLM?

So what’s with secondary weaponry ammo racking the Sebastopol from 13km away. Like 5inch HE shells are ammo racking me on spawn…without me catching on fire and then burning into my ammo rack.

I went back and grabbed the replay. The sheer amount of AAA that is just missing is kinda crazy. Im all for AAA having more errors and aircraft being usable in NRB. But there is usable and then there is “I can just ignore AAA because it wont hit me” and this is with aced crew. HE-TF is also completely worthless (if that is what the 4.7" guns on the Rodney are firing.
Suffice to say. The sooner I get into Vanguard and unlock her HE-VT shells the better

They don’t want to see it either. So many items still need to be fixed. This is just like the new player profile card. No one asked for the previous profile to be changed and from what I’ve read, not many, at least on the forums, likes that change either.
