Dear Gaijin Santa

I have been a good player since closed beta, I have not liked all decisions made, but over time have seen this game grow for the better, yes even the merge.

Wishlist:

  1. Fix the LOD issues as top priority please on PS5, not flickering but still bugged in APCs on Normandy, Bulge.
  2. Release the Pershing to bring back US players, looks like allied is a ghost town currently. (Although this is essentially a placebo effect IMHO)
  3. More maps please, I think Bulge needs more trees and more snow.
  4. XP earning on Custom Mods please (BA mod especially)
  5. Preferred map option on MM please
  6. Stuka Cannon Vogel please
  7. No more customization issues - premium custom camos, premium troops given default matching camos
  8. No more events which affect social occasions, cause burnout
  9. Bugs that have been reported recently (invisible planes, Lods, backpacks, sliding players)
  10. Low BR axis paras please

Feel free to add your own below.

Anyway, hoping all the Gaijin / DF devs and team have a great Christmas, you have worked hard and deserve a break, expectation that when you come back will be as usual high pressure demands and complaints from all of us :joy::man_guard::+1:

I think this summed up pretty well the wishes of reasonable players.
As for my unreasonable wish, give Axis 100 round MG too!

It’s already in WT, so it shouldn’t be problem.

  1. resolve player imbalance, faction stacking shouldn’t be allow, merge is suppose to fix this(berlin bot farm, tunisia bot farm, player favoring one side over another), perhaps a exp booster and silver booster for underdog factions that are not as popular as Germany.

  1. Separate the BR logically, a panzer III N (the largest German tank in BR2) cannot penetrate a KV1 BR3 anywhere (I even tried to shoot it in the upper area from behind, causing the projectile to ricochet and hit the bottom of the tower ledge) which would be perfectly normal if it weren’t for the fact that they are put together in the same games. There is also the issue of Soviet paratroopers with weapons from the future and poor matchmeiking… a small example Screenshot - c15c92db8631158eff6b66c3d16488ac - Gyazo (Personally, all this is taking away the desire to continue with the game and I doubt that I am the only one)

Gaijin ain’t the devs

Darkflow is employed by Gaijin though, weird thing to say tbh, nothing to add the the list then I take it?

No new maps until they fix the current ones:

  • Guadalcanal:

No Henderson field, Edson’s Ridge. Darkflow completely made up the assault at Alligator Creek (Tenaru River on Marine Maps). They even placed the defensive positions on the wrong side of the river/creek. Alone, there was never a Japanese landing assault at the battle for Tenaru SINCE THE JAPANESE FORCE WAS ALREADY INLAND.

  • Stalingrad:

It seems that Darkflow has more respect for Russian battles than American battles. Still, even then, they couldn’t make a Stalingrad accurate to the actual battle where their great-grandfathers laid their lives down for Russia not to be enslaved. They couldn’t place the sculpture in front of the Central Station in the correct place, which the US Army and their crappy CGI were able to do. They also have no sense of the architecture and time that was put into the inside of the Central Station, along with the fact that there was a below-ground floor with multiple ways of accessibility through stairs, collapsed floors, etc. The station should be spacious to the point that there should be at least three objectives that are to be captured, not where you have to go to an entirely new building across the map when you don’t even have the building secured. Univermag looks like nothing related to a store. There are no access points through the sewers, even though they were used. In fact, Darkflow pretends that sewers don’t even exist in Stalingrad. Also, even though the enormous mounds of rubble so famously rendered tanks useless and forced infantry to go against infantry, there is nothing in Darkflow maps that even comes close to the description.

In fact, the Stalingrad maps look nothing like Stalingrad, lol. Look at the photos.

Buildings Darkflow didn’t want to add, even though they are right here in the Recon photo (there are way more in the photo that I didn’t circle lol):

Univermag and Opera House circled:

Central Station, the small special house, the staging attack on the small house, and the supposed apartments (they aren’t; it is a warehouse; Darkflow got it wrong)

  • Berlin:

I am unfamiliar with this battlefield, except for Seelow Heights, and there is no Seelow Heights, so I can only imagine what the rest is like…

  • Normandy:

No, I am not hurting myself further by going into detail about the Normandy D-Day battlefields. In short, COD WW2 made their D-Day map closer to the real thing than Darkflow ever could:

  • Battle of the Bulge:

Hurtgen “forest” isn’t even a forest. Not only that, but they didn’t add Bastogne. Hurtgen “forest” should be renamed Mamayev Hill and given to the Soviets since it is closer to that than it ever will be to the real Hurtgen forest.

  1. Please redress the way in which decals are bought and applied. In WT you only have to pay for the decoration or decal once and you can apply it to any tank you own as long as it fits certain national parameters.

Please stop making me purchase decals and decorations separately. Increase the amount of bushes you can apply to a vehicle to 6 like in WT and tidy up the attachment points so that I don’t blind my crew please.

  1. When an engineer in an Eng or AT squad spawns a gun, please include some sort of concealment for it. The concept of employment of AT guns is that they were operating from concealment. You already have some strong limitations on the plane within which an AT gun can be built and you have given the guns no depression to balance out the halfwits making the maps as if they’re catering for the winter olympics ski team. So add in concealing features to each AT gun spawned - ie make it a concealed position relative to the map, and give the AT guns a couple of degrees of gun depression.

Unfortunately it probably not going to happen due to gaijins track record with the players, it takes the whole damn playerbase to review bomb and boycott one of their games to get them to change things https://youtu.be/L6Lo5k1kjk4?si=hud_LzF81riaE9vB

It reminds me a little of the last Christmas when Quadro and Enlightened started that strike…

If only it got larger and got DF and gaijin to listen to their playerbase without them having to organize a player union against them, when enlisted comes to steam it will be a fresh avenue for gaijin to see that the most popular game platform on PC will burn them at the stake in the rivews yet again if we don’t get what we should.

US has Browning M1919A6, and as someone who played WAY too much Normandy Allies, it’s enough.
(And germany doesn’t steamroll the entire time)
