This was before air spawns and you often had front line battles. Side climbing was not an option on smaller maps.
Its not as bad now as you have time to climb.

Ah, thanks for informing me. Were all other nations worse off at low altitude or just the high altitude fighters?
The Western fighters suffered. P47/51, 109s and 190s. Spitfires and Zeros performed alright.
It was back when Gaijin took more time to model subtle differences

still waiting for sufa to get its correct munitions.
while every report gets hit with “fowarded as a suggustion”
suggestions should not be a thing when i have to spend DAYS trying to find unclassified proof while a cartain gets a missile that probably doesnt exist.

Over 2000 hours, playing on and off since before battle ratings and RP were a thing
Air Battles haven’t really changed since 2013, Air Arcade can stay as it is, its braindead gameplay that is so dumb its fun - Air RB (especially with more modern aircraft) is so unbelievable stale I dont even bother with it any more - Nuclear Thunder was a glimmer of hope and I’m praying it leads into more interesting game modes - Sim’s EC is pretty good, but the Sim rewards system and actually flying in Sim is far too much effort for a filthy casual like me
Game modes where the ground attack part of multi-role is the priority to win the match would be a breath of fresh air, as we all saw with Nuclear Thunder (Until everyone gave up trying to do SEAD and it turned into an even faster paced team death match…)
Ground Battles… where do we even start
No.1 issue for me for Ground Battles is Map design - utterly attrocious, every match is a race to spawn camp
City map/corridor shooting should be sent to the shadow realm, awful awful gameplay - it works in the other tank game due to health bars and simple damage models - in War Thunder its just find a nice spot and wait for someone to drive past to one shot them - its somehow frustrating AND boring
Lower Tier battles arent too bad for balance with a few exceptions (T58?)
The Nation balance at Top Tier is pretty dire - but there’s a whole thread about a certain nation already
One thing that I think Gaijin needs to do is have a serious discussion with its player base about its cutting edge/modern vehicles, and how their characteristics are being implemented and managed - all you have to do is look at the Challenger 2 thread to see some horrendous hypocrisy with regards to sources to back up claims and how Gaijin is essentially hitting them with ‘nuh uh, we dont believe’ - if decisions are being made for BALANCE, then it needs to be obviously stated - but I imagine that would open up a whole other bag of worms…
Going forward, Gaijin should (even though the effort needed to do so would be huge) create an archive/database/library to show and back up their own claims for higher end vehicle performance/characteristics. Right now, we have the situation of developers demanding very specific information to justify changes from its player base, bordering on commiting accidental espionage… all while they make changes to vehicles without ANY justification to its players other than “we made it up/we believe/sekrit document” etc etc
The amount of time and effort gone into justifying L27A1 anti ERA capability for the Devs to just say ‘no’ is as sad as it is hilarious
anyway, sorry for the ramble, I was bored and thought i’d do some verbal diarrhea

I will add historical battles, where you can unlock premium plane, that’s already in tech tree, it can be given free, eventualy make new one for that event, just one week low effort grinding event with historical lore.

I loved destroying F-14s when they first came out using the F-5. It was quite relieving at the time. Shot down quite a few of them as they usually caught fire and died within a few seconds. I miss those days.
Don’t forget it can take more than 2 weeks for certain reports to be accepted(like a bug on Xbox to be accepted not even fixed, just accepted). How is it smaller game studios can get a bug heard about and fixed in less time but it takes more than 2 weeks for one to even be acknowledged on this game on console? I can understand it with vehicle reports but a standard bug report? It makes no sense.

My main point was that the Leo2 in the Benelux TT didn’t have to be added at all.
France has plenty of prototypes or variants of the Leclerc, to the point that adding 3 copy paste Leopards doesn’t add anything the French TT needs. It only kills variety in the game.
The whole point about the Lorraine was the same. I know the Lorraine MLe 50 is an event vehicle. That’s why I said a Tech tree version of it should be added (the mle 51 could be added as a TT variant. Which removes the need for another M44/M55 that is being used by multiple other nations. But keeping the tech tree more unique. Copy paste vehicles are alright, if no domestic option exists, but that simply isn’t the case for France.

I am very much biassed on this as I am Dutch myself, so I do like that they were added. I do not like HOW they were added though, it’s a reall shame they keep butchering indigenous tanks just to effectively replace them with Leo’s or Abrams’.

And the air tree? Completely barebones!
Only came with the Fokker G.I as the only domestic design when it came out.
Missing lots of bombers (including torpedo bombers) and even more prototypes.
And thats WW2/Interwar only.
Millions must Fokker
But seriously, so many great Dutch plane designs (Fokker, Koolhoven) left to add, and we mostly got Belgian copies of already ingame planes

They don’t even bother with camos when they add subtrees.
Ki-27 Otsu,Ki-43 and Ki-21 could have recieved thai camos, since they saw service with Thailand.
In fact, those Ki-27’s saw combat and even scored a kill vs a P-51, But noooo, we need copypaste jets and a SB2C-5. Didn’t Thailand be in Japan TT because they were “allies” in WW2?
