April Fool's Pirate Event 🏴‍☠

[Deus_Vult88]

Disclaimer

Hello forum members. Please do not judge strictly, something may be translated ridiculously, the original topic is in Russian. But it found a lot of responses in the hearts of the ru forum

Spring is just around the corner, I propose to organize a pirate event.
WT had a similar event in 2016, and there are ship models left. If the developers add some clothes of the same type, add a pistol and musket, the saber can be left British, which we already have.

WEAPONS

On the musket - you can use a rifle berdan/gewehr 1888, slightly remodeling the model or leave as is.
On the pistol - either make a rifle cutoff, slightly speeding up reloading, or introduce a new model.
Sniper rifle can be taken optics from m1c garand and muzzle brake put on the “pirate musket”
Grenade just change the model to the bubble historic those years.
We have sabers.
Binoculars we have, it can be converted into a telescope, just removing one lens.
For help and correction, I would like to thank @c4qph2

Weapon for upgrade

Game modes

I propose PvP and PvE modes, specifically:

PvP:
1 Fort Defense. The team with fewer men holds the fort, the team with superior manpower tries to attack.


Though I’m sure without the tech and sniper rifles with mortars, there will be Trelawney squires to hinder the team, but it’ll still be fun

2 The second PvP mode - Battle on ships, since the models in WT is, in theory, it would be nice to have a team of one people 10 real people, without squads, against a team of another ship of 10 people. Although it is difficult to realize, but I hope someday it can be realized

PvE modes

1 . you and your friends (4 of you) or just random players go to an island to find a pirate treasure. But the island is guarded by the damned dead, you can implement the horde mechanics from zombie events, only they will also need to be stylized. And they will get in the way of finding the dead man’s chest. And get out to the lifeboat and take out the cargo.

2 . And you and your friends or random players are up against ghost pirate ships. The ship must be small. Like in the photo below. We unfortunately have little interaction with each other and cooperation between players. I think it could bring the team of one ship together. After all, you can’t escape without a crew.

Rewards
Rewards, the participant of each mode, at the end of the battle should be given a choice between Dead Man’s Chest or doubloons/Piastre/silver. People like the variation. And as we’ve all experienced - gambling is very addictive.
But Dead Man’s Chest, should have a slightly increased chance of dropping the reward. It’s more interesting that way. For example stinger has 1.23% - it will be 1.6%, less boosters in the reward and just increase the chance of dropping something valuable.

While writing, I changed the concept and added more PvP and PvE modes, and overall the themes differ in many ways other than the name.

I don’t expect the topic to be much liked by the forumers. But I’m just tired of zombies, and zero gravity in moon events. This would be something fresh and interesting. At least temporarily.

My sincere thanks to all those who have supported it. I wish all Capers and flibusters a fair wind in their sails.

Well and I think it would be fun to see a live broadcast with MajorMcdonald so he’d be in the captain’s tricorn and eye patch .

We are come from the North

Yeah, let’s waste development time on another worthless CRSED like event.

[Deus_Vult88]

I wasn’t expecting help, but you came, I’m telling you SPA-SI-BO.

You’re extremely grumpy today. Be cheerful and simple, old chap

[Bomberman89]

theyre gonna do it regardless, might as well ask for something in particular bro

[Naohmcete]

yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

@Deus_Vult88

No, for once. I want a proper WW2 event in a WW2 video game.

I have no clue why all special events always have to be some kind cringy CRSED like stuff.
If I wanted to play pirates, I’d go install AC black flag. If I want to shoot zombies, I’ll install killing floor or L4D2.

Sorry that I would rather prefer WW2 events in WW2 game. Or even better, just ovarall more polished game.

Over some pirates…

[Deus_Vult88]

Well if there is a ww2 event, it will be added to the game. The idea of the event is to make it as weird and unusual as possible. And temporarily, following the example of big brother WT.
It’s like a seasonal flavor in fast food, yes it’s weird like a mango pie, you won’t eat it on a regular basis, but you can diversify your diet a little bit at least once a year. I’m afraid we will be testing active matter and I would prefer something crazy and temporary like what I suggested above.

And online during such an event in spring 2024 was very good, judging by their public reports.
So it would be beneficial to both players and developer/publisher.

I remember your concerns regarding guerillas, but luckily for all of us they didn’t materialize.
I realize that my idea will most likely be ignored entirely, but I’m still keeping my head up and I advise you to do the same.

[Deus_Vult88]

Yo-ho-ho, brother-pirate

[Winter_Storm]

@Adamnpee

o, for once. I want a proper WW2 event in a WW2 video game.

then you are unfamiliar with gaijin games since they have always and will always done wacky things for april fools, for example the first WT april fools event was MLP shooting each other down, they also had a complete space event, a UFO event, and last year they did a mad max Battle royale

[Adamnpee]

WT can afford it, unlike Enlisted. Much more polished game.

Plus WT is a much more goofy game in its own right. Just look at the various anime pillows constantly on tanks.
Do you want it in Enlisted too? Just for the sake of it already being in warthunder?
I really don’t understand this reasoning.

Sorry that I just don’t like the idea of a pirate event in Enlisted. And I’d prefer something else.

[Deus_Vult88]

@Adamnpee

Sorry that I just don’t like the idea of a pirate event in Enlisted. And I’d prefer something else.

Then suggest a theme for the event, the theme may not be to your liking. Suggest a theme for the event, and we will support or not. You’re keeping the intrigue alive for now, but you’re not revealing the concept to us.

@Adamnpee

Anime - not good, no such thing is allowed in enlisted.

@Adamnpee

They used to do first April events before they became a polished game

@Deus_Vult88

That’s what I already did in reaction to last Halloween event.

[Deus_Vult88]

Yes, you DID, but now there’s time until the NEW event and you need to either refresh your theme or offer something new. I suggested that too, but who’s going to look at dozens of your threads now to see last year’s suggestion. Come on. If there is a normal idea, it will be supported, why not?
If they don’t realise the concept in full, they will mark out important details for themselves and realise it. That’s how it usually works on the forum

[Adamnpee]

I believe you have misread what I have wrote. I didn’t suggest last Halloween event.

I was so disappointed by this event that I proposed my idea.

And the idea was to do a similarly large special event on the theme of a major battle or major event of World War II. Instead of constantly coming up with special events that are silly and unrelated to ww2.
It could be PvE as well. Like defending beaches of Normandy etc.

Plus another idea of mine that I suggested. That after every major update that would add a new map. There would be an event focused on that map only. So you don’t have to rely on MM and could familiarize with it pretty quickly. There could be some pre-made historical squads. (Kind of like a fair play event).
And these could then be the main reward for the event.

And the fact that they would have unique soldier compositions could be interesting for the game.
Again, having something other than the classic compositions of TT squads and the premium squads.

That’s the sole reason why I wrote this:

@Adamnpee

It’s nothing personal against you or so. But from my perspective, it’s just unnecessary waste of development resources.

If you want to play as pirates or be killing zombies, I would suggest you to play other games for such experience.

@Adamnpee

Sad, you are a decent forum member, I think you would have something to offer the community if you put seriousness aside and try to come up with something for the 1st of April.

@Adamnpee

It could be PvE as well. Like defending beaches of Normandy etc.

with a conditional 30% chance of dropping Normandy playing for US or Axis, we do it almost every day. It’s Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. 70-90% of the kills are bots. I thought you were going to say ambush convoys of bots and do conditional real world events, sabotage a city at night with silent weapons (although stealth it would be debatable).

I’m not sure I prefer historicity > fun to play.

@Adamnpee

same

@Adamnpee

But from my perspective, it’s just unnecessary waste of development resources.

I respect your opinion, but if the events are scheduled anyway. It’s worth trying to hint what kind of gift you want rather than getting a random and unnecessary one

@Adamnpee

If you want to play as pirates or be killing zombies, I would suggest you to play other games for such experience.

That’s the problem, that there is a crisis of games.

Adamnpee:

Idk what’s so unfun about historical composition of squads. There’s many of them. It’s not like you have to pick only OP ones.

And it wouldn’t have any other influence on gameplay, lol.

you can have a lot of fan and historical units. But meta squads of 7-9 people wins. Here I got 4 squads from a zombie event and I don’t use them.

@Adamnpee

And it wouldn’t have any other influence on gameplay, lol.

Grind bots in an event for a month in historical for the sake of unnecessary squads. (usually give a squad of 5 people, now they are adding a new specialist, and not even in all squads)
Do you use event radio operators?
Event AT squads?
I’d rather prefer to have a chance to take out a stinger or a second Ju 188. I guess like most people playing snail casino
