WT's age rating (what are your thoughts?)

Basically title, Sense we have lootbox gambling, now have an auction house (That isn’t directly tied to wt but still interacts with it) and have napalm against open tank units.(Probably no longer knocked out)
Do you still think the age rating should stay where it is?

  • Yes
  • No

If it should stay where it is, what’s your reasoning.
If it should be increased, what could it bring?

Napalm is fine, people are just sleeping out cold.

However, the auction house is not a good thing, everyone, including me, stated that it was practically illegal to do and violates Hungarian gambling laws.

So realistically if they want gambling and a auction house then they will need to raise it from 12+ to 18+.

I wonder… if we (WT) to get higher rating (which would hurt it, but anyhow)… can we have some NPC infantry then? I remember talks back in the day regarding infantry always run into rating issues

What about making kills with crew knockout not show a dead tank model, but the normal model with visible damage. Would this increase the rating?

Theres “full” versions aviable, just on different websites

Probably, but this would require to model “damaged” crew beyond that we already have

I can’t even spend 30 seconds on WT live without finding a softporn or gooner skin

As someone who once got my GTA IV collectors edition confiscated at Melbourne Airport by customs because that edition of the game was banned due to the silly laws at the time - I don’t even want to even think about age restrictions in games. Even if it’s just to make it PG-13 / 15+ or some other rubbish. Let the kids have their damn loot boxes.

I highly doubt the auction house is legal, having to pay money in order to participate and not being refunded is wild.

The age rating restrict War Thunder to be a more realistic game in details or is just developer’s lazyness to create something realistic.

there is real money gambling and auctions in this game so it should be 18+ by default. If they want it to be lower then they need to have more moral business ideas

Exnic:

Auctions aren’t gambling in any country that has literacy.

Gambling is an atrocious thing.
Auctions are a practice of highest bidder gets item. There’s no gambling involved.

This game should be rated 21 and over. PERIOD.

The way this game operates like a casino should make gajin, by law, mark it as 21 and up. They won’t cause it’s easier to manipulate children into spending hundreds of dollars on what basically is a slightly better chance on the next hand, I mean match

With gambling mechanics it should be +18.

Pretty sad to think about that there are so many games around who successfully use gambling mechanics and aren’t +18.

If you use such shady practices, then the your customer base should be limited to people 18 and above.

Looking at you shmokemon.
I mean even I spent more money on some new popular trading card game for mobile than I ever wanted.
How could younger people resist such temptation 😫

But I also did that with actual trading card games when I was young 😄

Luckily you only get junk in WT, most of the time so, so it’s pretty easy to stay away from these mechanics for me.

Might as well just play the Lotterie instead of trying to get an IS-7.

Voted no, not because of gambling, but because of the chats. Legal kids gambling exists, it’s called and arcade.

I’d also like to see Enlisted level of ‘destruction’ and kills.
