We need "Jump to" & "Scroll back" function for Replay!

First of all, very appreciate for (finally) adding Replay function. (Even though it’s barely useful. Hope you can add filter for your own matches soon.)

As soon as I first use Replay, I find out that there’s NO “jump to” or “scroll back” functions.
As long as you missed one shot, there’s no way to scroll back and watch again. The time bar is just a info board, without any interaction.

For a regular video player, it at least has an interactive time bar.
Also, some more useful functions, like Bookmark, jump to, Repeat, and etc.

For game replay/Capture mode, dev you may want to refer to other games, for some more useful functions, especially camera filters/logos.

YES, exactly my thoughts. It took me about 3 hours of gameplay to finally find a single replay of one of my matches, and then I realised you can’t even rewind the footage. As the replay system is right now it’s borderline useless, I hope they’ll improve it sooner rather than later.

The replay function is NOT a video player.

It’s basically a “spectator mode” new match, where the server recreates the old match according to the inputs and events log.

That’s why there’s no rewind.

War Thunder took YEARS to find a way to just set some intermediate “resume from here” points in its replays.

Replays suck without rewind.
But it’s supposed to be there: “The viewer functionality is similar to the regular video player with pause, skip, rewind, speed up and slow down”
