What is this about, the future of the game to be more clear future content. Will the game move beyond WW2 like War Thunder, i say yes. Do i want it too no i think there is more than enough WW2.
If it does i want it to be like World of tanks cold war on one side and WW2 on the other. Never the two should meat, never should an AK47 end up in Berlin. Korea is not WW2 and is part of the cold war.
Like World of tanks there should be Natow and Warsaw. Korea and Vietnam world be great, along with desert storm and Isriel’s wars in the middle east. I would love the see AK47 vs the M16 or stoner.
Too many time’s a gun was just out of reach but i want WW2 top remain WW2. The trouble is tech like missiles and jets. cold war armor sucks as one hit kills are the norm. I know i play World of tanks babies first tank game.
Even world of tanks cold war is point and click kill interface. The trouble with cold war is a lack of power spread outside tanks. The homogenization of tanks and guns moving into of the cold war. WW2 rifles goe’s from bolt actions through semi auto to select fire.
Cold war has assault rifle and maybe a few semi-auto. Smg’s are mostly front bottom fed stick mags. Machine guns are mostly the same while snipers are good with a variety of bolt and semi auto.
sorry for rambling the point is i find cold war sweaty and not fun. people min max like br5 knowing exactly how to play their tank. yes player good using ridge as cover. Game boring with full meta vehicle use and tactics.
What do you think Should it be ww2 br1-5 cold war br6+. or should it be separated but part of the same game. we should go earlier the 30’s is full of content. adding a br0 would help with br1 an make the game richer.
I really don’t want this game to be ruined like WT - and power creeping the game more and more with the current barely functional BR system would be a massive problem IMO.
I used to play WT all the way back when actual “historical” matchmaking was a thing. I just can’t care about it anymore. I sometimes watch OddBawz or Spookystons and just cringe seeing some UFOs or 1970s/1980s meme mobiles doing drivebys on early ww2 tanks. I hate it.
I personally think and have been arguing for actually re-working the system. Obviously we cannot go back to the old campaign system. But I honestly think it could work if the devs, down the line, did a re-work where some form of the tech tree is retained, more historically accurate campaigns come back…but the stacking/pop splitting aspect of old campaigns is severely nerfed or even removed
I would love to see all sorts of frontlines and time periods then.
Spanish Civil War? SIgn me TF up. Hell, even WW1. Korea? Vietnam? Some hypothetical fulda gap battle? I’m all for it.
AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT LEAK INTO THE WW2 PART OF THE GAME I. DO. NOT. WANT. LEOPARD I’S. IN. STALINGRAD.
There are still many nations that could be added to Enlisted and many battlefields to be explored.
Moving on from WW2 would not benefit the game at all, on the contrary could make many players quit.
It’s so painful to see iconic vehicles recreated in the game and then the match starts and you’re a German tank fighting alongside Israel, defending 1960s USA town from Japan and Sweden…
Hell yes.
Screw Tiger 2 and Panther in Stalingrad as well, for that matter.
That being said, I really don’t care much about post-ww2 but WW1 or interwar, especially Russian civil war, would be awesome to see (like battle of Tsaritsyn before it became Stalingrad).
There’s a point where we are starting to reach glorified reskins and that just bloats the weapon pool.
Does it really matter if I get a thirty round SMG with 600 rpm vs a thirty round SMG with 700 rpm or a bolt action rifle with a six cartridge capacity compared to the standard five?
Just let Gaijin enter the Cold War era instead. I’m tired of prototype items and equally tired of more and more redundancy.
That’s just questionable choices on devmans part
Half the nations are completely barebones around BR3, especially when you look at planes
I personally do not understand this fetish of constantly having to add more powercreep. I’m nearing 12M stored research on three out of 4 factions…and japan is sitting at comfy 4M. I still play this game, because I’m chasing those few and far between amazing matches (shoutout to the dogshit matchmaker <3)
If the game stops being engaging to me…I’ll stop playing it, no matter how much random crap gets added to it.
BR5 is already kinda cringe when you think about it - everyone just uses the most meta battle rifle/assault rifles top to bottom…but at least there is still some minimal variety. Once you go into cold war your entire lineup would basically be “the one standard weapon for this nation”. Vehicles become death incarnate. It just sucks, especially when you get constantly uptiered for no reason. Hell, BR3 being uptiered into BR5 is a joke
But at the same time, we kinda have the BR2-3 meta sorted out. MP40, Steyr M.95 Carbine and Kar98k with grenade launcher is just gonna be Germany’s bread and butter whilst the USA has the Garand, Lanchester and Lee Enfield No.4 and the same thing applies to the USSR and Japan as well.
It’s never gonna change and what guns and what vehicles that would fit that tier is just gonna be ignored. We already saw what happened with the Marder and sawed off PPSH, no one wants to use it.
The biggest difference between this game and War Thunder or World of Tanks is that the latter two do not reduce the gaming experience of other gameplays for the intelligence or cognitive impairment of a specific group of people.
(I am not familiar with these two games. At least as far as I can hear, their operators do not seem to exist to destroy or restrict the gameplay for the sake of extreme people)
Ok for other periods , but with a soft rule : no mixe between periods.
Ok, the HA is variable since the merge…
you can fight with wolkstrum with 1945’s br3 smg in Tunisia because BR system …but you can’t use some pea camo in Moscow campaign because HA for exemple. Logic.
Just because merge was a step back in accurateness doesn’t have to mean that’s the direction forever.
Game was not in a good place and something had to be done and perfect was the enemy of good enough. But now the situation is stable or even improving and I’d hope HA could be improved instead of fully thrown out.
Ironically… right now there is a post on the forum saying “damn that Marderussy pretty good”.
Some TDs are a bit overtiered currently. Also, BR3 is quite dreary on airplanes. There are options for some innovative gameplay around lighter vehicles. More APC variety. Proper vehicle loadouts/ammo switching
Just constantly adding crap to the game, whether it makes better or worse is just kicking the can down the road.
War Thunder massacred the amazing thing it had going…and now they are at the point where they are basically out of stuff to add anyway.
And past BR5 I don’t really think the game will make any sense anyway…most BR5 things are completely overtuned when it comes to recoil and spread (you can just hold mouse1 all day basically)
So instead of AS44 youll have an AK47…and because the AS is almost a laser anyway they AK47 will just ve another reskin or it will just keep the same stats and the current BR5 lasers will start shooting sideways…like the BR3 stuff does
And basically every tank will have HE performance of something like a 105 Sherman AND AP performance of a KT
For me the Quitting time was grinding super hard for the IS-7, a late 1940s invention , and then its Bracket ends up being thermal TOW-2 etc equipped vehicles from late 1980s.
It was a wakeup call. The bad historical matchmaking didint get any better, infact it only got worse so, bye bye.
