Could the same HA approach be applied to all gun stats please, for example the mp18 rpm is wrong, the m1941 Johnson lmg rpm is also wrong and there are tons of other errors in the game’s portrayal of certain guns. A while back the Devs did a big round of corrections to the jap’s weapons could we see them do this again to all the other factions.

For my part is probably just a combination of beeing to many times dissappointed by stupid decision the devs have made which always get presented through you (shoot the messenger) and the long time already spent on the forum so you kinda get nostalgic for a time were updates were less plaged by bugs and strange design choices but to many premiums beeing the biggest of issues.
This nostalgia combined with smaller issues probably developed into me not always interpreting your statments in the most favorable ways.
After enough time spent arguing about body armor I grew to dispise everyone of those who try to defend them or to deflect from the subject which also got triggered by your knee jerk post ( even if you were just talking about the devs.
As for the beeing afaid of mains post well yes. Technicly you did not say that guns get nerfed because of “mains” but if anyone read between the lines it is not that hard to come to that conclusion (when allied and soviet event and BP often powercreeps but for germany those gets hit with seamingly made up/unjustified nerfs even if there is seamingly proof otherwise) which then got stuck as my takeaway from your post.
I think most of my distain is just the result of downward spiral of repeated dev fuck-ups and disapointments and isnt 100% justified.
So please dont get offended by my comments but you kinda are the face of the dev team in a way and as a result it isnt always easy to seperate them.
EDIT: So while we are at it is anything regarding body armor planned/ beeing discussed? Or are the devs still stuck just monitoring feedback.

This is just a polite way of putting it. The true players will learn about your work situation from various platforms and then analyze and summarize your main work focus.
For instance, during the period of 2025-2026, your activity level on A.M.'s Reddit and forums was significantly higher than on all the enlisted platforms. In various game live-streaming events, your best performance was also on A.M game.
Just like in 2023-2024, as a video collaborator, you made great efforts to help many enlisted players.
In my community now, many people have given up watching your enlisted live-streaming content because it is very boring, dull and lacks content. You are merely constantly repeating the text of developer logs and update announcements.
“CM” is not merely a job title.
BVVD, keofox, james, and you are all CMs.
CM is not just an ordinary messenger or courier. The rude and disorderly work practices, such as casually throwing newspapers and packages onto the customer’s door, are not the etiquette of CM.
CM needs to do a more refined and more motivating job than the helpers. Not only for the customers, but also for the developers in different positions.
CM needs to explain to the developers the importance of certain contents! And persistently push forward, urging the staff responsible for the relevant work.
Rather than simply putting the sorted feedback reports into the studio’s email box and then no longer caring whether someone takes this report, not caring who took this report, not caring whether the developers in different positions received each report with the content involving different developers, not caring whether each developer seriously dealt with each feedback report.
Additionally
I think every player can clearly see the contributions of each CM to War Thunder and Enlisted.
It is quite normal for CM and decision-makers to have different viewpoints, because CM focuses on players and products, while decision-makers focus on enterprises and profits.
However, a successful CM firmly believes that the conclusions they have drawn from practical work are correct, and thus challenges the decision-makers. They force the decision-makers to make concessions or support the CM in carrying out the related work.
I think all the players can see it, whether it’s good or bad, every change and every new content.
But the data never lies.
Additionally, in February 2024, you officially joined Gaijin as a CM. As mentioned earlier, the players are observing each cm’s work.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, James, and others for your tremendous efforts over the years (from 2024 to 2025) in completing the unfinished renovation project (major merger) left by Keo. Although it was not perfect, it at least allowed players to continue living and using it, and even allowed them to imagine the future again.
However, as some parts of the 24-year roadmap keep being postponed; many of the topics that were discussed or even forwarded in 21-24 years are no longer being cared about; the promotion of AM; the promotion and testing of the infantry mode in War Thunder.
Despair has once again filled the sky.
I think, in fact, many players are not blaming you. They are more complaining about not seeing hope, only seeing false pretenses, just like returning to the transformation period from 23-25 years ago, lost and confused in the continuous boring activities.
Players in the community are leaving rapidly, returning to or going to War Thunder, or going to other games.
Looking at the recent situation, the event with the highest number of participants was the “Destroyers” activity, rather than the “April Fool’s Day” event which is a major festival.
The topic of the Victory Day promotion is no longer frequently discussed in the community either.
Only a few players are daydreaming: Enlisted will merge into War Thunder in 2027, and the properties of Enlisted players will be re-registered and exchanged.
Many players are still questioning why the KV-8 hasn’t been included in the “enlisted” category first.
Does this action indicate that the infantry mode of War Thunder will be expanded to cover World War II?
We are aware of these matters. Without permission, you cannot inform the players of them.
However, I think you can approach the decision-makers and insist that they show the players the truly promising future of enlisted.
Rather than like CRSED or Age of water.
No one would want “enlisted” to be the third one.
PS：The issue of body armor has always been the subject of continuous debate since its inception.
The developers have consistently shown indifference and inaction towards this issue, even though the player community has put forward many different suggestions and solutions.
Could it be in dozens of varieties?
Many CMs, helpers, and moderators have all expressed their willingness to assist in forwarding it to the developers, or have shared their attitudes and opinions on this matter.
But over a period of several years (more than 1000 days?), players never saw any substantive progress made by the developers on this matter.
And this is just one of the problems.
Do you still remember the two-legged support device? Fortunately, it has improved over the long years,
but there are still many other problems，still there

Let me stay fair and let me agree with you that “G43k” being OP was indeed a very common opinion to have especially in the RU Forum, but its not difficult finding a video of you claiming how G43K is the most OP gun in the game.
Just say’in…
I think you underestimate your influence that you had as a content creator - especially considering how little Enlisted is covered on youtube or twitch compared to other games.

Some of his videos are okay.
Like the best weapons or top tips
in enlisted he made were good.
Sad.
A lot.
Devs could make a quick fix and add more to other factions but nah…
Seems Legit.
See, no reasons for pitchforks and torches! As long as you were not involved in removing the Gold orders everything else is not an issue. It is always some forward process. Luckily you are a ton better than Heroes and Generals game manager was. That guy was for real unliked! Yours is more of a sour grapes dislike by some people. I think each nation should have a “thing” Russia body armor, Japan swords.

I would like to publicly state, as the person behind the forum suggestion on this topic, that I still fully agree with my past self; the saboteur class should never have been added. I believed, and still do, that that at its core the saboteur is a total missmatch with the intended goals of Enlisted.
The reason that I - and persumably a lot of other people as well - are not making a fuss anymore is because the time to call for change has passed. If ever there was a chance to remove the saboteurs, it would have been before they were added to the game. Removing active content from the game, for multiple reasons, is just never going to happen.
So, the silence isn’t reluctant agreement, it’s acceptance of defeat. We had the debate, the developers made their choice, I might not agree with it but it’s time to move on.

Hi, Major. I’ve been writing about the body armor issue on the Ru-forum for many years now. I even spoke directly with one of the developers, who promised to pass it on to the game designers. So, it’s very strange to hear about a “knee-jerk reaction.”
The body armor issue can be easily verified in-game. This is most clearly demonstrated by tournaments and clan wars, where today you’ll see nothing but Bolsheviks in body armor with AVS-36-20. If the strongest players in the game are choosing the same build, it’s cause for serious consideration of balance 
Furthermore, there are numerous calculations and graphs demonstrating how body armor breaks the combat effectiveness of German and Japanese weapons, from SMGs to automatic rifles.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the existence of body armor is the main balance issue today. So, it’s no surprise that players are so concerned about it. And the developers are only adding fuel to the fire with their inaction.
Just delete this already

There’s no need for removal. It’s extremely unlikely we will ever get any other saboteurs. They’ll become just as irrelevant as fuel bombs planes are.
It’s funny to even think that those planes were supposed to be the highlight of that major update back then.
i dont even use it anymore, if i want to saboetur i will just use a guerilla squad like the STGS squad

I mean i tried to blend in but people are just too train to hit everything that dont have the ally triangle on them.
Feel like realism mode or something like that from warthunder might be useful here ngl and might be more “immersive” (i would suck in aircraft and tank but at least it interesting even if it not popular)
that way “infiltration” can actually be a thing
since we dont have bulding destruction they dont have a good performance
if you look at IRL indiendiary bombs these do not only destroy a building but leave nothing behind (basically total zone denying)
but since this is game where for balancing reasons even some wood buildings can deny the effect of a 500kg bomb
and following that logic that aslo nerfs inciendary bombs
but if something they are very good at is lagging PCs like mine X D XD DDD
