I personally hate Top tier ARB/ASB game play generally.
No ECM
No Datalink with buddy
No AWACS and bogey dope
No multicrew game play
I would play DCS World instead if I want to get a feel late Cold War or the modern.

While I would love to see Impala (especially mk.2 with more weapon options), MB-326K wasn’t specifically made for South Africa, it just had the most success in SAAF and was even built under license with a different engine compared to the second prototype we have in the game. MB-326 series is still very important for Italy both in export and domestic service, it’s more than fair to have it represented in the Italian TT in multiple variants.
oh i never meant it as in Italy never should’ve had it
I mean it more as in, Why on earth doesn’t the ZA sub-tree have it
They said in the Q&A that they give all operators of a vehicle the vehicle at the same time, what makes ZA different?
Where? I haven’t seen such statement. Would be wonderful if they actually did this.
was in the BVVD one in december i think it was,
when they were adressing copy and paste specifically the plague of SPHs

lets see we gonna have democracy or dictatorships
Even that isn’t consistently reflected in practice though.
Germany got the DF-105 years 3+ years before France did.
That being said, I’m against the trees being flooded with copy-paste and losing their unique feel (see M44, M55, M109, BeNeLux as a whole, etc) so I’m not to broken up about them not sticking to that rule at large.

What I don’t like: Allied aircraft on Axis side, Axis aircraft on Allied side in Air Sim. I flew an hour today and I probably dived some 5 times on a P-51 with bare metal fuselage in my 109 only to realize it was japanese or chinese after having already wasted my energy.

Ground is just as bad. Sherman’s, Chaffees, Pattons, etc on every side.
iirc later T-34s did have 70mm driver ports, and its not like a vehicle has ever had ahistorical extra armour, right? (M6A2E1)
Not a Russia-exclusive problem, again (Turm III, T58, PUMA (when added), F-14s (when added), J-7D, F-15A/J/Bez, etc). Not to say it doesn’t happen with Russian vehicles.
More of a player issue than a gamemode issue, no? You have a lot of time to climb.

I’ll have you know that I did not ignore this “3 hour write up”. In fact, I read the entire thing! Very well put together Teaz. Hats off to you

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.
also popeye when?
Please add back to tech tree the Po-2

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.
