I remember the days before pay per view on sky so these companies are well aware of how to wring more money from the players. I would expect more paywalls soon and the public will lap it up like they did when they suddenly had to pay to watch Mike Tyson fight after already paying for Sky which they had only subscribed to for the Boxing in the first place.
sometimes I wonder why gaijin doesn’t listen to its playerbase and then i see posts like these lol

If a Tiger II manages to get killed by a T-34/76 that player would be so unbelievably bad. I would go find them irl, take them out for some coffee and kindly but seriously urge them to reconsider their life choices that led to that moment.
Give me my tog2 at 4.3 and the other team will cease to exist.
It’s so sad how bombers become an obsolute joke to 20mm HE rounds.
One time I shot down two B-29s in one game with a Spitfire Mk 24.
Another time I sprayed at one from below from like 2-1.1.5km and shot off his wing with default ammo belt.
He said: You hit me like once and my wing broke off.
Then there was also the time where I shot off the wing of a PB4Y-2, with just stock belts in a Bf 109 G-14. I shot like 60rds of 20mm ammo approaching from the front and side.
When a Me 262 goes for a B-29 you can just see how the bomber turns into a giant fireball from a distance.

Short explaination is balance.
You play with sweats and tryhards. The second somthing is OP there is no reason to take something else.
Full lobbys of say the heaviest tank you can get on both sides. No expection.
You could implement a system where only a few of said heavys can be taken but then you will have people leave and abuse the system because of the “I want” mentalety.
What would a agme in RB look if only 4 people could take the tiger 2 or IS2 on ach team on 16 vs 16 matches? Would you stay in match if you could nto play the the super heavy?
What if it was RNG systemt that pics who can and who cant?
What if they remove all heavys?
Would the mediums then not become the heavys?
What about a second RP resource for each match where lats say a heavy costs 500 points, each match has per side 2000 heavy RP points. One a heavy dies the points are going back. The dead player cant spawn again in this match in heavy some else has the chance to jump in one.
You cant make every one happy so make every one unhappy?

Ew, they are already slow and you want players to get them later in the Match? Lmao
Heavies were 450 SP in full downtier before gaijin lowered the overall SP required for spawning

Between the limited damage models and our ability to put dozens of 20mm shells in a single spot due to mouse aim, bombers aren’t in a great spot no.
Granted, I hit their pilot on the first and aimed exclusively for the right wing on the second, so not a surprise they got shot down.
And of course, if it was a 262 hitting them instead, I don’t expect them to survive more than 4 hits.

Got to love how some heavies can be mulched by AA guns. I struggle with heavy tanks so much I have a better time playing naval
So much garbage to contend with when playing old WW2 era tanks ,if its not CAS it’s cold war artillery.
I wonder what the War Thunder people really do want us to do in this game now.

I recently played my IS-7 and a Japanese Type 99 just oneshot me, lobbed the shell right below me like a mine. I also got one tapped in my T95 once or twice and one tapped 2 Mice in a row with my own Type 99. Oh, and recently I one tapped an IS-3 in my new American T-30, the Event HE shooter.
Heavies are just a sad joke in War Thunder really :(
Too slow to cap, too unreliable armor to just rush into the enemy and brawl, too sluggish to defend from flanks etc.

It is hard to have confidence in an armoured heavy anymore so why play them?
Then they make all the maps barren and narrow so its pointless to play a fast light tank.So whats the point of playing at all ?
This has been the longest that I have gone without a premium account .
Gaijin made the game so stupid I stopped paying.So I am not coming on here with a long emotional goodbye but Gaijin just dont get any cash from me anymore. It’s not even a protest ,I just cant be bothered with it .
Maybe we will all enjoy it more if we play for free.

They are only a sad joke if you have trouble playing the game.

Because this is War Thunder. There are Br and Balance fraud here.
And not only that. There are a lot of gangs here saying “but you have guns, but you have armor”.
What you need to do is very simple: just stop playing heavy tanks. They have no meaning in this game.

Just because you can’t play them doesn’t mean they are bad.

He didn’t say bad - he said they have no meaning, and he’s right - being a “heavy” tank has no meaning in War Thunder

I’m talking about what I see. You are talking about things you have not seen.
I find it hypocritical that you call everyone who expresses their opinion on this issue “talentless”
Admit it, you can explode heavy tanks with a single hit from where you sit and earn points. You are afraid of playing against heavy tanks and you are trying to deceive people under the name of incompetence.
Let me tell you something? You don’t need to be afraid. With a simple game matchmaker model, each team can have an equal number of heavy, medium and light tanks. This forces you to make a strategy. But you’re all lazy here who want every tank to be the same.
For example, a medium tank can hit a heavy tank from the side thanks to its speed. or a heavy tank can fire a supporting shot at the rear. or two heavy tanks can attract bullets while seizing territory and try to kill each other when they meet. Each tank can have a role and the game can become much more fun. Otherwise, it makes no sense for all tanks to be the same.
