good?
why not?
are you one of those selfish players that thinks for him self rather than the whole community?
because let me tell you. i have been an alpha tester like many others people around here.
and we got our progress wiped 4 times.
the wipe was during the first moscow test, than another wipe has been made after the berlin test, the third wipe came when this game hitted CBT, and now we are going to reach the 4th in about 3 days.
we knew what was going to happen, and we decided to stick because of the game, and the community.
just because you payed, it doesn’t give you the rights to keep all your shiny stuff, as you still have those premium squads that are more than a good starter.
while people that are gonna touch this game in OBT will have no clue. and no equipment.
watch it as a Training for you.
although, i don’t know about you, but i don’t think that if you would be a player that just opened this game ending up facing full maxed out squads it’s going to be fun.
they are going to be the people supporting this game along side us.
so, unless you wanna give them an unpleasent welcoming.
i don’t know what to tell you.

War thunder early testers got things like Tu-2 and some P-39 variants.
Im hoping for something gimmicky that doesn’t break game balance, like a T-26E or maybe a Panzer 4 A.
Premium squads have a lot advantages that are not possible to get without paying. Weapons are ststistics wise better than their free counterparts, premium soldiers come with higher perk capacity than free V lvl soldiers which allows them to come with preequiped all the best perks in the game, squad composition made of 7 automatic meta is the most powerful in current meta (of course they have no engineer or other classes but in gamemodes, where you need to capture points to win, SMGs and LMGs are way to go)

I agree with all of you that WIPE is the only thing that will help new players. But I’m also just a player who just wants from develpores to thank you for playing while the game was in its CBT state and needed paid support.
Just like if you pre-order a Tesla cybertruck you get a 4x4 buggy.

i think that the biggest thanks that they could give us, is a working and polished game.

its not easy to say what is exactly best for everyone , surely there are players who spent their money on only one smg squad ( and nothing else ) since back in the day you just had to buy one such to participate in game … even when such player wouldnt get his progress wiped, stil there will be some other player that paid for all of the squads and then what ? he is more OP than regular player and will be forever ? since you can get more squads to battle for premium players, there is gap between those who also pay and those who paid once,

Which is the reason why we have been asking for the removal of more squads in battle, as well as nerfing the premium squads to be less OP.

yeah well balancing of the game is still in progression as you know all too well … some people complains that in russia , the german mp41 squad is OP , but just take a look at the ppd 34 … it behaves like chaingun , without any kind of malfunction and russian do get this gun pretty much immediatly. meanwhile germans get mp28 and its rubbish until you upgrade it to max … so this topic will still be hot
PPD has worse damage at longer distances, making it a sidegrade.
It also has more recoil in full auto per second (not per shot but higher rate of fire makes it kick harder)
And you also have to reload the box one quite often due to the small mag.
MP41, however, has no downsides compared to MP40.

well downsides of the gun almost doesnt matter when it gets its job done just way too well than it should at close combat , sometimes it just seems its effective even on longer range where you should use short rifle instead… some bloke can just use it as an Lmg not to mention how many parts you must have to exp mp 28 with random result so it can be just this nice to play and then i will get to know my progress gets wiped … they expect me to do what ? clap ?
Less than the PPD(drum) needs…
not drum version but box
mp28 really is about as strong as that one ^^
except rate of fire , some work needs to be done
I understand how you feel, but we are all getting our progress wiped, not just you. Everyone else will start at 0 too.
And you will still have and advantage over new players. Your personal knowledge of the maps, the guns and the general gameplay mechanics are all staying with you.
They also can’t erase the fun you’ve had playing the game already, unless your enjoyment somehow comes out of grinding for hours on end… in which case you do you…
But I don’t understand why people feel like they’re being punished. We’re beta testers NOT early access players. They’re not punishing us with a wipe, they’re just moving forward with the game development.
We’re not really entitled to anything, because we’ve all been technically doing volunteering work by testing the game for them. But despite that they’re still going to give us something even though they don’t have to. And of course the rewards aren’t going to be anything crazy; it will most likely be cosmetics or a way to differentiate testers from normal players once the game launches; maybe an unique gun or an unique soldier or something.
These aren’t going to be in compensation for the time you spent, but as a thank you for helping them test the game.

No. You keep premium and twitch drop stuff.
