If some of you have played high tier Israel, you’d know a lot of things were simply added without proper QA. But the standards have apparently gone down drastically in this last update.
As you can see below the Merkava 4, added about 2 years ago. The composite armor on the side skirts is missing. But other than that, the model seems only substandard.
Here is a Merkava 3. The armor model does not show the composite armor on the roof and hull front, as well as the side skirts. This means less QA, downgrading the model to “embarrassing”.
And here is the Namer. Added today. There were weeks to work on this thing based on feedback from players, and over 2 years since the Israeli TT released. But, you know, it’s kinda expected. As you can see, its side armor modules were removed entirely. It only has the front module and that’s it. What’s currently missing is about 80% of its total armor volume.
Bug report has been up for over 2 years:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/1eYOWMuJWJ3n
In the bug report, it’s said the report was closed and passed to internal review to “track progress”. 8 months later, and there was only regression.
Gaijin doesn’t want bug reports because it makes it work even worse. It’s not affected by negative reviews. What will get Gaijin to hire competent devs?
Just 1 subject matter expert on Israel is needed, plus 1-2 devs. That’s it. And yet that’s too much to ask.
