I’ve wanted to make this post for a while just out of personal interest, but with the increasing amount of controversy surrounding the game’s state, I thought now would be a good time.
With this survey, I want to find out how happy people are with the overal state of the game, and what aspects they think need more or less attention. Maybe Gaijin could use this as well to get some insight into how the community percieves the game and the developers.
Please answer each question honestly, and let me know if you think anything should be added or adjusted about this survey. If you feel like any of the questions don’t really apply to you specifically, or if you don’t have any strong oppinions, just don’t answer them. Afterwards I’d love to hear your full thoughts in the comments as well!

*Regarding the next question, I have since been informed that the infantry mode doesn’t really take resources away from the base game, and is from a different team or department. I will not adjust the poll as it could break it, but just bear this in mind :)
[How do you feel about the recent infantry mode in relation to the base game?]
- I think it’s a great adition that could open up great opportunities for the game as a whole.
- It’s very nice, but it wasn’t really what I was hoping for.
- It doesn’t impact me, I don’t really care.
- It has some nice potential, but the developers should prioritize investing recourses into the base game first.
- It’s a waste of recources, the base game needs the attention far more.

[Do you feel like your feedback is heard by the developers?]
- Yes, I feel very heard and I think Gaijin has a good amount of contact with the community.
- Most big problems get through, but I would like to see more from the developers.
- It’s fine/I don’t really care.
- We hear too little from the developers.

[Say a competitor to War Thunder were to suddenly show up that is better in almost every way (whatever this means for you personally), how likely are you to switch to this new game?]
- I would switch immediately!
- I would primarily play the new game, but I’d definitely play War Thunder sometimes as well.
- I’d start playing both games pretty equally.
- I’d play the new game from time to time, but I’d mostly stick to War Thunder.
- I might try it out, but I likely wouldn’t play the new game much at all, and I’d just stick to War Thunder.
