Genuine question and not for a gaijin perspective cuz i know they want more and more money , i want to know why people just accept this crap is still a thing.
It sucks for everything, on lower battle ratings because your repair sucks and some good/usable ammo is research locked.
On higher tiers to top tier its just bs locking all your features which makes your vehicle an higher BR material locked behind more grind.
Your essentially grinding your vehicle again , to be able to play with its actual potential, this doesn’t even makes sense because most of those “modifications” came together with the tank/plane when it was first invented so what’s the logic behind this…
There’s more incentive if they give me all 6/8/10/12 missile with working FM off the bat. Bonus RP is not required when the vehicle and gamemode is fun to play in the first place. notice that both of them severely missing.
I think some elements of it should remain, but overall having to research anything to do with your tank’s FCS, Defensive suite and gun should just be gotten rid of, since tanks irl don’t arrive at their units without thermals or laser rangefinders.
In regards to aircraft, it makes a bit more sense, although you should be given more ordinance options from the start, alongside any MAW/Chaff mods.
In regards for engine/performance mods, a decent argument can be made for those, since researching them is essentially just performing maintainance on worn components, so they should still be grindable.
It’s not an incentive to play the game, it’s an incentive to play vehicles you wouldn’t normally play.
I’m still not going to play BMPs cause they’re ugly and IFVs are below average for gameplay anyway, but the incentive is there to play them outside of M3A3 looking cool.
