so is like when i take the survey i might get closed beta testing for helicopters?
when we get that He 280 ... Me 263 and p.1101 V1.... they existed :| and had guns. "a half sad german pilot" since i get another rocket devil :).
Lowering the SP cost made things only worse. It's a camp fest with factions having helicopters vs factions without (eg. Berlin) and it's just swarms of enemies rushing the spawn points which of course have no protection (a 10m radius unaccesible area can't be called protection). I like the direction the game is going but some decisions made are very very wrong. It's too easy to get a helicopter, sit 3-4 km away and just keep on killing units in the spawn until you run out of ammo.
Please provide ability for separate crews for fleet. I hate having to deselect a plane crew to man a boat
It's impossible to have a enjoyable game with the german toptier, if there isnt a Helicopter shooting into the spawn there will be a FJ in 3-5min. Not balanced, not fun.
Honestly, most people think that low to mid tier planes are more fun than high tier planes. So add more.
I've been wondering, and so have others I've talked with about why we can't use helicopters in the Pilotage custom battle, it seems like theres no reason they shouldn't be allowed in
Where did all the front line maps disappear, you incompetent infidels? First you have killed air AB and RB and now with helicopters you have killed ground also!!! Good work guys... christmas came early for your competition... war thunder is going bye bye... no more rank 5 air, no more rank 4 air... only tier 3 and bellow... good work... I'm impressed... vau... I mean vauuuu... damn scrotum heads...
I honestly think that adding ride of the valkyries was an early hint that Helos were coming.
Can we please get some balance changes for Arcade ground forces... Seriously there are so many tanks that need a br change its not even funny...
