Scorching Rays is not a Major Update. I think that’s obvious to almost everyone by now.
2 out of 4 factions will not even get any new TT additions, really pathetic.
The desperate lack of new gameplay content is reflected in the name of the update itself. It is in fact named after the graphical improvement.
I wonder if Gaijin could finally stop neglecting Enlisted in favor of Active Matter.
Feel like with “BRIV” jap tank they are trying to push a BRIV matchmaking in a bit because it’s literally filler… garbage useless addition i cannot even put it into proper words.
just… shit. (like BRIV, ha)
Wouldn’t care so much if that wasnt basically taking away stuff from other nations… “this update we’ll focus on the conflict between america and japan”
Why? To celebrate their surrender? The plane was perfectly fine if it had 2x250 but you can’t even do that right… why should i feel compelled to spend money when the crap i can grind for free is just terrible (ironic i know)… since threatening your credit card is the only way besides mass forum spam to be heard
I think they should refrain with any words that contain “date, path or highway”. 
Sounds like a hitch hiker horror script.
It feels like the last 3 “major updates” have as much content together as 1 major update from the past
Most of the new TT stuff from the upcoming update are just fillers :
Churchill VII : Jumbo, but worse in every possible way, its only redeeming factor is that it’s British
50rd Thompson : another thompson, probably better than the current one but still an SMG at BR5…
Japanese Shotgun : why not, but shotgun are mostly a gimmick
Chi-Nu II : worst Chi-To at the exact same BR…
Ki-83 : fighter disguised as an attacker with a rather underwhelming playload…
There are only 5 new toys and none of them seem particularly atteactive.
Not to mention I am ultimately disappointed we still didn’t get balkenkreuz, silver stars and red stars decals for vehicles.
Keofox said nearly 3 years ago they’re planned.
And @MajorMcDonalds said there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll finally show up in the near future.
How long it takes to import already existent decals from WT?
So annoying.
i may praise the clothing department team,
but yes.
this is not a major update material.
barely a new feature ( beside the tank hull machinegun. which i guess bumbps it a little it’s overal score. at least from me ) and the new additions are… fillers. which, i’m in favor of fillers, but after much more needed stuff was added.
like, AA vehicles, upgunned engineer structures, riders type II etc
but… yeah…
the worse thing that happened to enlisted, ( beside the many issues with feedback translated into content… or lack there of ) was active matter.
perhaps in the grand scheme of things, they’ll make that pre-april fool modern enlisted/war thunder with infantry an actual thing.
Not even implemented to all tanks. Exactly the same case as with BAs and the feature that allows you to keep aiming between individual shots.
I don’t even hope it will ever be implemented to all tanks. (I know they said the opposite, but I simply no longer have trust in them) and if it ever going to be implemented to other tanks, it will take another 3 years or so…
still waiting for the new frontline… it is already year and 2 months since they announced that it was in development…
btw when i saw that roadmap, i expected that they will fulfill it in 6 months to a year, not that it will be a 2 year plan…
Very optimistic of you. I was waiting 2 years just for APC customization. And I am waiting ±3 years for a few vehicle decals.
To be honest - what is actually missing from current TT? Sure Japanese lack some stuff here and there, Soviets dont really have much variety… but in general the most iconic stuff is already in the game.
They could add some “niche” vehicles like Elefant or ISU152 - but hopefully Jagdtiger will never see the day of light.
T44-100 is probably the most requested vehicle right now, but other than that? Maybe Panther F or Panther II for faster but less armored alternative to Tiger II… what else can the devs even add at this point?
Hetzer would be practically the same as Jagdpanzer IV L48 - which is worthless because its in BR4.
STUG III F is still not lowered to BR2, other stugs wont really matter.
Brummbär could be interesting - but that tank sounds more like a candidate for some event, same as SU122.
Whats really still missing is AA tanks and a light vehicle overhaul in general, but who knows if we ever get those.
Subfactions/minor nations. Especially since we have no ability to change soldier’s nationality.
There’s plenty of potential content.
well i am talking about roadmap and feature that they said it was in development, not about some random suggestion.
but then again they worked on merge for 10 months and it looked like result of 1 programmer doing all the work in 1 week.
Well, it adds fancy new graphical stuff, albeit it is pointless because I doubt most people wanted it or can run smoothly, not to mention the past graphic updates always resulted in pretty decent FPS drops and freezes/ glitches.
It wasn’t some random suggestion. All of them were statements by CMs in discussion under official news topics.
And there are a lot of similar promises that were just dropped. Where do we have assault engineers for japs/us for example?
well just one more proof that enlisted is dead in development. most of the visual/physics changes are cause of improvement in dagor engine and what enlisted devs do is just add few weapons, map here and there and fix few bugs. any new features are implemented over extremely long time.
At the same time, they dont bother fast-copying the tech trees from WT into the game because, for some reason, they care a lot about the interior visions and such.
If they would just dump the tanks into the game, game would still suffer from qualitative content, but at least the quantity is there.
somewhat.
is that really the case though?
if anything, sounds like they would have to then actually work to put something in the next content.
and there’s an incentive for them to drip feed content else they would run out of things to ““give””.
also, who are we kidding.
last time they made something as a subfolder, were the marders.
… just to place them so that you still have to grind the first marder and make it an actual hiderance to the whole TT for latter unlocks.
Well, I kinda agree that it doesnt add much if only the same three TT squads can use the new stuff.
yeah, that’s also an entirely new problem.
guess we prefer having stagnating content than for example… reuse the older squads that were made unavailable after merge.
but then again, that brought more work to keep track of.
we can’t have that…
want to use the a marder and a Stug III ?
well, you better have some pre merge legacy tanker squads that can fit them, or else you cant.
EDIT. actually, has to be the same squad that used to have that specific vehicle, because not even retro-fit compatibility is there so…
