Devs keep coming up with pitiful excuses why they are adding the saboteur class,
but that doesn’t change the fact that saboteur class is total garbage and should never be added in game.
If you ever played ww2 ground sim battle in war thunder, you probably had this experience
You see a sherman, and you wonder if it is your ally or enemy.
The only way you can distinguish them from is ever so slight change of rgb.
And the second you realise it’s enemy sherman, you die.
If you experience that enough times, you spend more time figuring out whether this sherman next to you is ally or not.
And this is why sim battle is dead in wt nowadays
No one wants to play this paranoiac gamemode
Devs saying it’s limited number, one man squad, hard to get changed etc
but the fact that one day you can just die from someone next to you looking like ally, is what makes player paranoid.
it’s not about how hard it is or how rare it can occur
it’s the existence of possibility that makes player paranoid
Please devs, go play ww2 ground sim battle in war thunder, and rethink about the saboteur
If you really want that, keep it for separate gamemode or an event
At worse, make a event match like soviet-japanese and see what people says
You did this very well with map br bracket last time, do the same for saboteur
a event for April fools like this would be cool to see. I think its a ok addition to the game ( free event slot ) and dont see a huge amount of people playing it ( hopefully ) after the update hype dies down
Though, this class is extra devious and annoying to play against lone fighter with friendly fire on
With that being said, as much I kinda like it, for my own pve uses around this class ( where players will have to cooperate and face the enemy ai while being limited on the guns they have or ammo, it could be fun, like, some pro per cooperation sabotate game on its own.)
As I wrote above, it’s not about how many there are
it’s the idea that you can always be killed by “friendly” anytime that makes players paranoiac
If you ever played ww2 ground sim in wt, you will understand. it’s a pure annoyance
You will choose to make it a problem by being paranoid.
Enjoy the self made issue.
What will really happen is sometimes you’ll get killed in your greyzone and then you’ll go revenge kill them and it’s only one guy so extremely easy. at best it’s an annoyance he might have got your engi oh well.
You are painting this out to be a constant issue. It’s not… i mean if you can actually constantly cycle this squad with no usage of others and one dedicated player doing it then sure but i doubt that will happen but will acknowledge that sounds like what you’re saying.
I don’t think this is a healthy addition to the game just that it seems ridiculous to say you’ll
have to be scanning your teammates 24/7… inducing complete paranoid i mean really the only people that will apply to are those such as yourself which are so against this addition… which is fine you are allowed to.
I meant you, as player, have to “constantly” worry about getting killed by “ally”
As I said above, it’s not about how many or how rare they show up
It’s the existence of idea that some time to time you can just get killed by ally.
And that’s what “constant annoyance” is
