Cannot leave a good review for such a scummy company.
Constant disrespect towards players time. The recently promised XP boost for reaching endgame (although accurate to their original statement) took around a year for them to finally show how it’s going to work. The implementation is incredibly disrespectful and will barely affect anything gained- and it’s only for ~3 matches. Extremely scummy.
Constant disrespect towards history and research. Nearly everything added in the past few years has gotten worse and worse in their représentation.
Constant bugs and instabilities that are getting worse. Maps are getting butchered and smaller while vehicles get faster and faster.
Not worth it. My hours representing a mistake in life I’ll never get back.
Edit:
• Battlepass - is terrible. Lets be honest though, they were/are all trash since the first 2. They give less and less with each pass. First they time gated the challenges so you couldnt complete them. Then they made the challenges increasingly harder and more ridiculous to pull off. Then they made it so you couldnt sell what you got on the marketplace unless you got VERY HIGH in the BP, way past the rewards. Now they are giving 1 less vehicle. Its like they dont want you to finish the battlepass which defeats the whole point of a battlepass. A BP is something to get players to log in daily to your game. In turn they complete some tasks and get some stuff. At this point gaijin just wants you to give them 20 bucks and tell you to ♥♥♥♥ off with how much they give you. Someone needs to explain to Russians what a battlepass is. They probably just think its free money for them. At this point they want to give you AI made decals, and copy/paste vehicles for your money. Dont let these lazy, greedy devs get away with this garbage tier development.
• Ground RB Economy - Painfully slow. To slow. Needs more improvement.
• RP bonuses for high ranks - The system they announced might as well not even be put in. In fact reading it you half expect it to cost GE just like the “research bonus” points you get. Remember they used to give us x2 and x5 bonuses for free back in the day for a few rounds. This system just replaces that but makes it harder to get, and is less of a reward. They really do go out of their way to strangle any gains they give you in this game. Greed and Laziness. People waited months for this announcement only to once again be fooled by Gaijin Developer greed.
• Air RB EC - People have wanted this game mode for years. They wont bring it back because they are scared people will “earn” to much RP/SL. Its not about how much fun you might have. Its about how much you might earn and not have to give them any $$$ because of it. Again the greed goes far with these developers. They only know greed. 10+ years and barely any map changes and zero game mode changes.
• Rocket nerf - This nerf was done to combat bots but also hurt a lot of other vehicles like helicopters in Heli EC. Your going to be shocked by this but Heli EC has bases…and Helicopters dont carry bombs. What do helicopters use? Rockets. This nerf killed Heli EC even more than its already dead. It also hurt attacker/bomber aircraft econ gains. Instead of banning bots, adding bot detection, or cheat detection they simply nerf everyone. This is just laziness. They couldnt get AI to do it for them so the next easiest thing to so was to nerf everyone. Bases exist for a reason…to be bombed. Attackers/Bombers exist for a reason. Its not to dogfight. Its to pound the ground. Which means two whole categories of planes/jets got an econ nerf because they are to lazy to deal with bots. You can say it was to combat bots all you want, but at the end of the day an economy nerf hurts everyone. Dont give them any excuses ever to nerf the economy in this game. They will take it from you and be glad to do it.
• Censorship - This could have all been avoided if the official warthunder forums mods were not so ban/censor happy. I dont know if any of you have been to the official forums lately but if you post any feedback that is considered negative it will be deleted and your forum account will be banned. Review bombing would not be a thing if this didnt exist. People would simple make posts with feedback, but they cant because they get banned. What can they do? The next best thing and review bomb on steam. If WT was not on steam there would be nothing anyone could do to spark a change because of how much censorship is on those forums. But because they are on steam it gives people a platform to use their voice without being banned instantly. Fact is Gaijin created the review bombing problem themselves with how they censor their forums. They have no one to blame but themselves and their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy mods. What ever changed in the last year needs to be reversed and new mods hired with old mods fired.
Its time to get some changes at Gaijin. Maybe enough review bombing will get some people at the top that need to be fired gone. For to long they have been strangling the life out of this game with greed and that needs to change
