Why is Gaijin focusing more on Top Tier? -> more players -> more money -> more updates.

The newer vehicles are just more relatable to people than the WW2 stuff. Also the WW2 stuff has been overplayed a lot. The unfortunately part is that the whole game is really designed around WW2 and Korean war vehicles. The game modes do not work well with newer vehicles at all. They're clearly trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole. I wish they would come up with some newer game modes for the newer vehicles.

Appreciate you not uploading a video every five minutes like other creators. Good video. 👍

Thing is, the game modes are playable in mid-low tier and are relatively balanced all things considered. At least player skill can carry the match regardless of how your team does. Top tier is straight up not fun for Air RB. This next update will make it even less fun. 16v16 matches take more time to takeoff and fly into combat than acrually playing the game. It has become a mindless point and click adventure game where 80% of your time is spent waiting for a new match, waiting to see anything and finally waiting for your missile to either hit/miss the target. Player skill ceiling is so damn low that if you're facing more than 3 people at once, you might as well land and leave or suicide. For ground RB, you just always have to expect your tank to explode to some guided bomb/missile and pray that hitting ammo on a T-series tank will actually explode like it does for every other MBT in game. My point is: i hope they redirect their focus towards making top tier fun to play, as opposed to releasing infinite BR's worth of new shit.

Having just unlocked top tier Germany over the past couple months I can say that the game at 10.3 to 11.7 is almost entirely different from the earlier stuff. Especially 11.3 and up. It is far less forgiving and everything moves much much faster. You have to be much smarter. When I do go back and play say 3.3 to 6.7 I thoroughly enjoy myself but I go back to top tier and have a hard time. You get lazy in mid tier quickly.

2:39 that made no sense 😂 "one day you have F-14 tomcats then the next you have fox 3s" the F-14 had fox 3s on realesse great video tho

War Thunder needs a dedicated 1939-1945 WWII Historical tank mode.

what sensetivity and dpi do you use, different for air and ground? your aim is amazing

IMO BR matchmaking is far more balanced than year/era matchmaking Some tanks are gonna be objectively overpowered and some will be useless

I don’t even think it has to be World War II versus Cold War just needs to be separated from conventional point and shoot versus ATGMs and laser Range Finder. This way Sweden doesn’t get screwed. And obviously discretion can be taken depending on vehicle.

What Do you use to record your videos man?

Immersion in Wt when my Tiger II was hit by an ATGM Nuh. And bro that was originally a WW2 Game

This is the problem. They pushed everyone who loved the older technology. To the point that most are suggesting mostly the new stuff. So we became the minority. While the modernists became the majority. Besides that, I would disagree with your statement about immersion. Immersion keeps you entranced and focused on the battle. It also makes you enjoy or get annoyed about it even more. Without immersion, battles become stale. Instead of being concerned about the tank and the crew, your mentality becomes "Doesn't matter if it dies or not" It had led to those players who left once they died. Now Semi-Historical is what Gaijin should focus more on for RB and AB. Just not in Sim too often. With dialogue invoking this confusion, concern, etc. Since they never fought it for the first time however over time they can identify it.

The Ystervark is even 4.0 btw

The problem is that Gaijin hasn’t found a medium between balance and realism. They won’t buff tanks that are outclassed at their BR because of lack of historical evidence for the buff but they won’t reduce the BRs either. Makes no sense.

Rank 3,4 and 5 are the majority IMO. Or at least 40% of players at least. Queue times would show this. Top tier just has the most green fields for content.

This was why I quit the game, after the couple of updates when Literally all the enemy teams were either captured tanks/lend leases vs super powers it made literally zero sense like I get that, lend leases was accurate it's WW2 BUT why do I have to have soviet's on my team while Sweden have the exact same tank with the exact sounding engine? Is beyond me💀

The pbv 301 tank is at 2.3 br but it’s from the Cold War

Phly said ww2 tech, not exact time

It would probably take two seconds for gaijin to make a game mode that capped at 7.0 7-3 and maybe had a little bit wider of a range between BRs while staying under that 7 ish area. It wouldn’t be too hard to make a mostly wwII mode and it doesn’t have to be implemented into the normal ground RB. WWII RB

Historical matchmaking should come for a limited time event so the playerbase could see for themselves how bland and unbalanced it would be. Such a gamemode would effectively remove most minor nations from the game, condemn the lower BR Cold War vehicles (like the M109) to uselessness, and make the apex WW2 heavies like the King Tiger even more dominant than they already are.

I do not agree with you,what is a lot in your opinion? I am playing top tier and it is not like ,they addnew vehicle and at the same day half of the players in the team have it already and it is spaded. Nope I met maybe 2, they will start to show up in 3-4 days when people grind it. Most of the people grind or buy brand new vehicle just because Gajin add it i to game mostly in OP version or if it hassomething new people can not play against it and some players are using this fact and time to bully others. Itis similiar to sealclubing on low tiers. The fact is there is no other game on the market like this, players have no other option if they like games like WT. The fact is players who have spent some money in this game wont change it just because they have spent money on it and see it as investion. I hear stories about how the game is going to die for the last 12 years,and nothing. So no,adding new and new vehicles is not something what keeps the game alive, it is just a way how to get easy money out of the comunity. Gaijin can focus on repairing of the game. And if people want historical MM, ok give it to them but in separate mode, like event. Or with diferent rewards. Like now the events are about to score 35k, but there can also be option to play special historical mod to obtain the vehicle. But I do not think the game is ready for absolute historical accuracy, because of maps,mods and how the MM works. But maybe some semi historical could be fine,like to not play civil wars MM, or with Tiger 1 in 2003 Niederland.

for me it's a bit of both worlds, when I play air realistic I prefer playing top tier and jets, but for ground realistic my prefered era is WW2. So in that sense I'm honestly excited to see vehicles of both eras, it's just unfortunate that older vehicles tend to be neglected

Ive heard it most likely will come Wednesday

They need a br cap at 6.7 or 7.0 because tanks like the tiger 2 isn't get shit on all the time but doesn't brake everything like a ww2 mode were its tiger 2 vs shermans or shrink br so instead of being like changing it from a 1.0 br difference to a .7 br difference

Tiger 2 vs M48 is kinda fun 💀🤦

5euro low Tier 75euro high Tier planes idk why.

player base > why can't gaijin take their time and make sure game breaking bugs, incorrect stats/models and wrong FM make it to live server. also player base > why is gaijin taking so long to update the game.

dog if we do historical matchmaking it fucks over minor nations. No

what di d you say at 7:26 something ......tanks ? Personally i want historical matchmaking. Maybe one weekend a month or every x days but not the default at all. It should be br or something based. Make it optinal and non-default or time based. If they do just exclude smaller nations if they don't have tanks of that era. You wanna play a historic ww2 match go play nation that existed/participated, easy. But i don't see this being needed to make it more playable. For me i just don't want to see ColdWar tanks when playing WW2 tanks (like the R3's that are 1972+ etc...). Yet i can live with tanks that are too bad to be 8+ or something. They may be fine at that BR but style/design wise it still annoys me a lot. (but please give them a WW2 camoflage or skin) Otherwise nowadays anything 7+ is just gets annoying for me. Only specialized/meme/quirky tanks are worth playing if it is 8.0+ (like Wiesel etc.) I would want them to lower the odds of PostWar/ColdWar tanks to be down tiered. Similair would want them to lower the odds of WW2 tanks to be uptiered. (i don't play planes outside of TankRB maybe it would make sensethier too) That way lets just say 8.0 and higher tanks will meet more often. And tanks that are below 8.0 will face their BR more often. That could create a soft "gap" between the eras. Or they could just add 0.5 BR points to any tanks above 8.0 (example: 8.0 > 8.5). Or add some weight to the tank BR's (like AirRb but only for ColdWar tanks or 8-9 Br) And the biggest and easiest solution that would satisfy a lot of people. Just give us fun game modes and maps that are built for their timeline. I want just Rush from BF or Territory from RO2. If i get it i don't care about the rest.

I enjoyed this video 👍 War Thunder is a video game. If people want a historical game they should find it somewhere else

Unpopular Opinion, but i like it, its so much more rational and logical. You're gonna get hate because you're telling the truth. 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro CANNOT say sussessfull

IM ALL IN FOR WW2 MATCHMAKING! If they want to mish mash everything else after, thats fine. If it was designed and released during WW2 then they should face each other. Its not even about realism, its about reducing the annoyance and allowing the player to feel like its a fair fight. The current rabbit gaijin is chasing will eventually be caught, there are only so many new things in the world. This is unsustainable they should pivot to fostering better game modes and making the game more fun to play to promote longevity. World of tanks is dieing and in these final years they've only increased monitization. This is the future of warthunder if they don't foster longevity. You know the ww2 vets will stick around, most of them have grinded several nations up to high tier and the go to lower tiers for the fun. After the wales have died because there aren't any more shinies the ww2 vets will remain. They should seperate the ww2 equipment for future of the game.

People who want historical match making are the ones with skill issues and cant face the facts that it would be a stupid idea especially for the minor nations.

Being that someone on here thought something i said was bullying unsubscribed. ✌️

Gaijin is cashing out... Its gonna happen, they'll promise an update one day, that wont ever come... people will keep asking when update... and it will be radio silence. the servers will run for awhile after... then one day, the announcement will come. servers shutting down forever. gaijins owners have been acting hella sketchy for the last 4 years... just uninstall now stop giving them money. and move on. as soon as warthunder is gone, it will open up a vacuum and something can come along and finally replace it.. probably for the better too.

I don’t necessarily think the game needs “historical” match making, but at the very least they need to separate WWII and Cold War properly.

Separation should be made! World War II has different dynamics. And I'm often bothered by the fact that when driving the T34 I have to fight against some weak vehicle from the 1960s. AAs are also often so low that they act as tank destroyers. In addition, heavy tanks and their armor advantage are non-existent, reloading speed is worse... You're talking nonsense and you don't know what you're talking about.
