I’m 90% sure that i got shit rewards after deserting (obviously), and then nothing at all after rejoining even after finishing top 3 or 4. My recollection is that i had maybe 40 kills, some rally score, assists, point kills, etc, and got literally 0 xp/silver at the end of the match. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I don’t think so.
Like I said, i will still rejoin a game i disconnected from because i think it’s the right thing to do (if you desert because you don’t like the game mode or something, fuck you, all deserters suck, make the game worse overall and then complain the game is worse), but from what I remember, rejoining a game in progress cost me 20 minutes and netted me 0 extra xp/silver/etc. maybe I’m mistaken, but that’s what i remember.
I have been playing this game for four years. During this period, I seem to have only encountered one player who was truly cheating (he used a semi-automatic rifle with BR 2 and killed all the parachutists I was still in the air). I just don’t understand what’s so fun about these cheating players using cheat tools to play a game where they are only shooting at AI for 70% of the time.
Your contacts lol rofl lmao
Your either mistaken or youve encountered a weird bug, and look Ill say this as someone with dodgy internet, never had that issue with reconnecting, always gotten a XP and Silver reward all the time.
I’m nearly certain, but I’ll keep an eye out for next time. Keep in mind this was not a network issue that disconnected me, which they might be more forgiving with, but rather a rendering/processing/fps bottleneck on my end that made it impossible to play (i couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a machine gun because of the frame drops and stuttering) so i manually deserted the game, restarted my computer, and rejoined. At the time of desertion i did get some silver and xp (close to 0), and I’m 99% sure that after reconnecting I didn’t get ANYTHING at the end of the battle, because i remember being pretty pissed about it, since it was like 20-25 minutes, and i still finished 2nd or 3rd on my team despite having missed the first 3 or 4 minutes of the battle.
Anyway, when it inevitably happens again and i have to desert and restart I’ll rejoin the battle and hope for the best, and screenshot if the same thing happens.
I think that if Gaijin merely removed the damage reduction tag of plate armor, it would only show that the developers are very stupid.
After all, in War Thunder, no new features have been added: players can turn off the display of all “grass & leaf” vehicle decorations in the settings.
There are many better ways to improve: each faction should have its own unique armor plates and daggers (with the same exchange currency: cosmetic cards/gold coins/silver coins); each faction should have 2-3 unique black technology items, which can be exchanged or purchased with cosmetic cards/gold coins, and silver coins respectively.
Simple examples:
Using cosmetic cards/gold coins:
- Soviet armor plate decoration with damage reduction,
- German SS dog tag decoration with a slight increase in health,
- American boots decoration that slightly increases jumping and climbing ability,
- Japanese armed belt decoration that speeds up weapon switching;
Purchasing with silver coins:
- Japanese swords.
- American mini medical kit that slightly increases health or provides additional health recovery,
- German water bottle that maintains endurance for a longer time,
- Soviet red flag that can be placed in the mine slot, can be destroyed, and slightly increases the walking speed of friendly forces in a small area after deployment.
PS: These are just what I came up with in a few minutes. I’m sure everyone, especially experienced and professional developers, can easily design a more perfect solution.
