Warthunder proposed changes and improvements

Im playing this game for over a year now and the issues with it are clear as day, so i made a list of improvements that should be made to increase player count, reduce frustration and as a result make gaijin more money since that’s their goal right?

Here we go:

  1. add ground only mode (same as night battles, randomly can occur and can be disabled)
  2. block anyone from entering the game with plane/heli higher br than tank
  3. add passive score income for 1st and 2nd spaa guarding the sky (lock it on cooldown in case enemy plane/heli gets a kill)
  4. add ai radar stations and long range spaa’s to work with them (to balance out cas and make it actually realistic)
  5. block research of squadron vehicles from locked ranks (or purchase of them)
  6. add permanent 2nd backup for all premium ground vehicles for free
  7. add premium spaa’s
  8. move ka-50 to 11.3
  9. delete fox-3
  10. add sepv3 and move other abramses down (m1 to 10.0 ipm to 10.7 m1a1 aim and clickbait to 11.0, anything else to 11.3)
  11. buff hstvl or add its versions
  12. nerf abrams reload to its competitors (for 120mm’s)
  13. add F2 apfsds to france
  14. buff Merkava reload and ariete reload (for balance reasons)
  15. buff hellfire 2
  16. make spawns random across wider area (spawnkilling)
  17. buff challenger reload/armor or move it down in br (for l30’s)
  18. add brimstones to uk
  19. buff bushmaster (pen or firerate should be better?)
  20. make all atgms that possibly can fire on the move fire on the move and have launchers deployed where possible (keybind)
  21. remove arty call from mbt’s (new tank type mbt should be created, now they look like medium tanks)
  22. remove planes/helis (or add plane/heli limit per team) from sim battles
  23. move British adats to 11.3
  24. add irst to tanks that have it (example: ztz)
  25. add no limit apfsds to otomatic and increase its first stage size or loading speed and move it to 11.7 or move it down in br
  26. move 2s38 up in br
  27. add challenger with brimstones
  28. repeat events on rarest vehicles like is-7/e100
  29. move Wyvern s4 up in br
  30. add squadron-wide bonuses that can be earned from playing squadron battles
  31. Transfer all RP bonus from premium to nonpremium and make premium account grant additional 30% bonus only (200% nonpremium 230% premium)
  32. Make convertible RP free: Reset everyone’s convertible RP and have 5% (or less) of battle RP earned be made into convertible RP. make it possible to purchase more with GE.

Monetization ideas:
here are some ideas i listed how to make money WITHOUT ruining the game for non-premium players:

  1. Premium spaa
  2. Tester subscription (access to dev server early, everything on dev unlocked, early access to maps/camos etc)
  3. Hangar customization
  4. Ads in hangar (on a sidepanel, not disturbing the player)
  5. Make most popular users skin visible in game for GE (conversion to make it visible)
  6. make bushes fictional customization and add camo nets for vehicles for GE/pack
  7. Rent vehicles up to 1 rank higher than you have unlocked for GE
  8. GE auctions for rare vehicles
  9. Make drones usable via token like a backup
  10. make all earnable backups apply to ground vehicles only (GE backups for air)
  11. make premium be able to ban 1 more map

Player suggestions are ignored 99.99% of the time. A core component of free to play games is constant frustration that can be bypassed by paying money. What you think of as “issues” are actually by design.

How about NOT suggesting IN GAME ADVERTISEMENTS ? That is quite possibly the worst idea I have seen. Mindbogglingly insane to suggest that.

Edit: I am NOT trying to see Temu/Amazon/Dropshipping trash scam ads anywhere within this game at any point in time and i HOPE everyone else agrees.

I can’t say much about proposed changes to top tier, but for the rest of it seems mostly good suggestions.
Which is why Gaijin is not gonna implement them, lol.

It’s funny how some of these are really good and the others are batshit crazy.

1- I’ve supported changing arcade battles to be more arcadey with ground-only for a while. No objections.
2- No. This is a valid technique to deal with daily and special tasks involving getting frags of 1.0+ BR above you. On top of a valid technique of getting God Mode without a squad.
3- Dunno about this one.
4- They’re working on this, and it requires the AI overhaul they’re also working on at the same time.
5- No. This suggestion is anti-consumer.
6- No? Get backups from the Battlepass…
7- There already are some… also no?
8- Not possible without moving ALL 11.0 helicopters up to 11.3, and ALL 11.3 helicopters up to 11.7.
9- No.
10- Sure, alongside T-14, 2A8, etc.
Clickbait is balanced at 11.3, moving that down to 11.0 is like moving the BVM down to 11.0. IPM1 and M1A1 are fine at 11.0. France’s M1A1 equivalent tank is 11.7 currently.
11- HSTVL buffs would make it 11.7 - 12.3. Also: Historical report.
12- No?
13- Would be the same pen as F1. SHARD should be added, and added to other tech trees like Japan as well. Using the compatibility of RH-120 derivative guns.
14- Merkava possibly. Dunno about Ariete.
15- That’s a historical report issue.
16- No. You already have 30 seconds of immortality at spawn.
17- Challenger reload is already buffed to 5 seconds.
18- Not possible at this time, on top of no aircraft in Britain to use them.
19- Historical report.
20- Historical report.
21- No. This is required for Steam achievements and fine.
22- This is just you repeating #1 but for sim battles… you want sim to be arcade? No.
23- Nah. Decompress instead.
24- Historical report.
25- Historical report.
26- Along with Strf 9040C sure…
27- What?
28- Yeah.
29- Already was moved, its still the weakest damage model in the game.
30- ? No objections.
31- No? Come up with a better idea for my support.
32- Dunno about this one.

B-side:
1- Premium SPAA isn’t necessary.
2- No, hard no.
3- Maybe…
4- NO!
5- No. [Legal trouble if they allow this.]
6- ? No opinion.
7- ? Leaning on no.
8- NO AUCTIONS!
9- No…
10- ? No opinion.
11- Not possible without removing the ability for all squad members to have a banned map, which would be a nerf for 4 squad members.
Cause you’d go from 4 bans to 2 when playing with 3 other people.

That is my critique of your post.
This critique is not a defense of anything not contained in this post.

Thing is that they have more than enough players and monetization options that you don’t have to nickle and dime players and make the game miserable half the time.

  1. Eh, it isn’t needed
  2. No
  3. Sure
  4. No opinion
  5. No
  6. Sure, it’ll help 1DL slightly
  7. 2S38, and no one would buy them
  8. lol
  9. wtf
  10. I don’t see many issues with that
  11. No
  12. Neutral
  13. Not by too much
  14. No, fuck helis
  15. I want less randomness in spawning, spawning facing a wall/rock is incredibly annoying
  16. Neutral
  17. Isn’t that already what happens?
  18. Why would you remove arty, that’s so dumb
  19. No
  20. Make a bug report
  21. moving it down in BR is fine with me
  22. It would be fine at 10.7
  23. Agreed
  24. Agreed
  25. No issues with me
  26. That makes prem time less desirable, so no. Just buff rewards instead of doing that
  27. Allow it to be sued with SL

Monetization:
0. WHY DO YOU WANT MORE MONETIZATION IN THIS GAME, theres already enough

  1. Already suggested, no one would buy it unless it can be used as a light tank
  2. Not needed
  3. Good idea
  4. Fuck no
  5. Don’t they already do that?
  6. More camo nets is good, limiting bushes that way can be done better
  7. No
  8. No
  9. This shouldn’t be a monetization feature
  10. Sure, but only if normal players get 1 map ban

All of these are good options, except for the ads that are strongly against this, they are really offensive, disgusting, and it will be the enemy of humanity if someone adds ads to the game.

Also, if these suggestions are played, it will make the game more beautiful.

Animation of the characters, for example, when they want to repair the tank, show a short and partial animation of the crew disembarking and the repair. Also, animations for tanks and anti-aircraft where you can see the crew, for example, panic and shake when they are shot, or bandage themselves if they are injured. These are the details that make the game very beautiful and different.

Also, some players sometimes like to be away from the competitive environment to chill and prefer PvE missions. At the moment, the current PvE missions are not interesting, but if more interesting campaigns are added to the game. It will be cool.

If it is possible to rent some golden units in the game with a lot of silver, for example, 200,000 silver per day, this will also be a good option.

You are absolutely right, this was the wierdest Suggestion i have ever read on the forum.
I am not paying 70 bucks a year for a premium account to see ads anywhere in the game.

Do you have documents that prove the buffs?
We should not change historical stats of vehicles just because they don’t do well in the game.
If a vehicle does not do well, it should always be moved down in BR, not have its stats artifically increased, thats not what a “realistic game” is.

I would personally love if we could at least get an option for a Premium SPAA. Preferably upper-tier, and it would be an easy financial decision. Give us a special edition upper-tier SPAA, charge us $79.99 for it. It wouldn’t take long to put a few mini-upgrades in (even if it’s only maybe 5% faster reload time and a special skin). I believe even if they could not get a lot of people to buy it, even if they only sell 10 of them, that would pay for time and labor costs surely, if they only add a premium skin for it for sure. It’d give people like me a chance to play the one class we enjoy, without having to grind all the way up, and make an easy payday.

its not good for you but it makes gaijin money so they dont have to force monetization.
at least thats my idea.
would you rather pay or have ads?

huh? reload time is fictional made by gaijin to balance.

Really? Didnt know that, I always thought they habe them somewhat acurately modeled.

But I think you are right, considering the flak8,8 could be reloded quite fast in real life…

Merkava reload was worse than others for a while now because of “balance decisions”
same goes why Abrams got 5s ace now. fiction.
i dont mind though as long as its within reason
