Every time it comes around, people are having fun with it, people enjoy the feature and everyone wants it to remain, and then it gets removed again after whatever celebration period and gone for another year or whatever.
Why are fun and cool things somehow time limited?
Because the Snail says so.
its one of the weird things that gaijin simply does.
imagine EVERY april fools joke. a special mode, made for 2 weeks of fun, and then its forgotten. shoved into the abyss. all that work, and not a single F is given after the even is over.
i mean, its so freaking gaijin putting effort into a FUN thing, that only lasts for 2 weeks. if only they would put such great effort into improving this game as a whole, and not just spend that genuine fun into a single game mode for 2 weeks a year.
they should add a special mode, like simulator battles, where we cna choose to play these fun modes. its unfair they take away the 2 weeks of fun we are allowed to have a year.
the number of players of war thunder has improved so much, but its having a developer thats not able to keep up with the changes within the community.
squadrons in this game have literally no function other than for people to grind squadron vehicles with.
there is no general chat, outside of the limited interaction that people have inside of a match. your best chance of finding other people to game with, are community discords. discords run outside of the juristiction of gaijin.
its hte community that is keeping the social interaction between players in this game alive. gaijin puts nothing more than bare minimal effort into this.
It’s weird how much effort that, sometimes, put into April fools only to just not do anything with it, when you could easily have it around for people to just play with, and cool features like walking around in the hangar to be deleted despite everyone loving the addition of it…

I have a squadron and the tools to manage them are completely non-existent as well, and the few tools you do have don’t properly work either.
Seems like something they had plans for and then just gave up on.
I’ve reported the issues with the member list and trying to clear out inactives because every time you dismiss someone you then have to sort and then sort again to get the list back to where it was.
It was working fine then an update broke that almost a year back now, and it’s just not been fixed. Makes it super hard to manage the squadron.

I keep having to manually screenshot all the members to track the activity because there are no tools to do so beyond the current activity points, also the requirement for naval doesn’t work and resets to any at every point, and beyond that there is just nothing you can do to really manage things, which is stupid considering the money they charge for creating a squadron.
The usual
Lets keep walking man alive and push to have him permantely.
That’s what we wanted last time as well, everyone enjoyed it, but Gaijin likes to be the fun police for some reason.
I’m not finding that happen at all, although I am commander and the only one to change them… Maybe that has something to do with it.
-Edit- I just tested and nope, it is a thing through everyone regardless of rank.
It’s almost as bad as my default controls conflicting with the flare/chaff, and making you a sitting duck because you just fly straight.
I cannot change the naval requirements, if I want it to require rank ll naval vehicles or something it always resorts back to any.
Man you must be enjoying the game to only have that to worry about.Maybe walking around the hanger is actually more fun that the game lately.
Yea, I tested it and found that, so added to your report.
I feel the need to send a boot up the ass of some of these volunteers who took on these roles and can’t get the bugs escalated effectively.
In before ‘not a bug’ which is what happened to my last report about the German MGs being unable to knock down a fence whilst all the other ones can, but without an explanation as to why it wasn’t a bug.
I can write a list of a 100 things wrong with the game that I worry about, however this is an existing feature that they actively have to remove from the game, so not doing anything would actually have mad the game better so I don’t understand why they spend time to make the game worse.
I can only imagine they have different people in different places assembling the game and they never meet each other.They also have very bad leadership and despite claiming to have some kind of road map actually have no direction at all.
It is surprising historically how many companies went bankrupt because they totally lost contact with their customers requirements.
People imagine WT will live forever but I remember a time when it was inconceivable that the UK would never have a car industry or that Rolls Royce or Land Rover would be owned by foreigners but it happend. I’m kind of in the throes of leaving myself,I’m not stomping off in a much lamented huff, just not playing much.
Bored of the crap map management and the repetition.
Too many changes,none of them good.I had a quick couple of games tonight ,first time in a while and that was it.Its all the game is worth now really.Happy to let it die, given up trying to hope for any more.Long since stopped spending. Another mug roped in I guess : )
different people in different places assembling the game and they never meet each other.
I assume that’s how we ended up with vehicle nerfs + BR increases + repair cost increases all at the same time, just different departments completely detached from each other just balancing spreadsheets, the R2Y2 losing it’s airspawn whilst also go up in BR and in repaircost if I recall was the most insane shit I’ve seen happen in this game.
Or they only have like 10 people working on the game considering the absolute snail pace at which they develop anything, took them over a year to come up with some absolute garbage as the RP compensation and it’s still atrocious… but that was a mechanic that should have been knocked out in a few weeks at most.
It’s a game that doesn’t remotely deserve the success it has had based on how it’s been mistreated, but a lack of competition will do that I guess.
But doing nothing is one thing, taking forever to do something another, but actively spending time and effort to remove content is beyond me… a feature everyone liked, everyone enjoys, one that opens up the idea of making the hangar more interactive, being able to get into your vehicles in the hangar and using the shooting range or whatever… but nah, lets remove it.
Reminds me of the tank biathlon event we had, having a parkour to go over, obstacles… a shooting range with targets that popped up, would have been great for a test drive, but nah, lets never use that again!
At least I was able to use the skin I got from it many years later…
That is the feeling I get certainly
I think the game was good but it’s easy to ruin a game every quickly.Look how many big franchises get one star reviews now ? COD? UFC? Totally lost the game and the audience.
They ruined the eras with out of time rubbish ,they ruined the concept of nationality and individuality with Copy paste and destroyed all their good maps with red lines and time outs.
It only took the addition of 3 or 4 vehicles to totally ruin 6BR for example that and the stupid map reworks and its goodbye from me.
Mostly are these events to test new mechanics or gameplays.
For example:
Ships event 2016 and 2017 modern tanks/helicopters
Sailing fleet
Rank IX
But the results came years later into the game
both released into the game 2018.
Its like a preview
In some cases, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just keep them, why not have them accessible on the side every weekend or something.
