It's due time u start working on Improving GAMEPLAY now. first of Scrap B.R it is AWFUL, when will u learn?? change to years of service, Make Historical Battles ALWAYS available with historica line-Ups. Scrap ur Modifications feature, it is horrible, Vehicles should come with their battle-equipment, this is beyond retardness. And Maps, be designed for Line-Ups according to years of service. That American Map is Horrible btw, learn to design Maps, you suck at it.
I have been playing tank RB for a very long time and i enjoyed it even when airplanes were introduced with the rockets spam.. I agree that the game needed some upgrades but i can not help to say im very disapointed that tank RB is not tank RB anymore. Why is that? well simple.. the constant spaming of helicpters and fj's in the so called allied team is beyond rediculous, played 3 matches and i could not get out of my spawn cause of a 8KM heli sniping the shit out of my team
I'm lower tier and though we don't have helis, it is plane spam on spawn point beyond my worst nightmares. I played a few yesterday, and it was EVERY match. :-/ So... I'm done playing RB tanks (which is 90% of what I play) until they tweak it. It is like they didn't even test it.
Arctander, it has been like that for a very long time..
Mostly I see the issue with WT is the game gets boring and all these new top vehicles are being added that half the player base wont ever play since the game is such a grind and boring when you hit tier4, too long to research the smallest of vehicles just to be hit with it being stock and having to play with that horrible stock vehicle to get a new one that has the same issue. In order to get RP for Fighters you need kills, in order to get kills you need a good vehicle. That's an example...
So many complaints, on a good update. I'm not saying that people should stop and just be grateful for what they get. No, I'm saying Gaijin need to take it as a sign, that they need to stop focusing on those people demanding new stuff for a whilst, and spend some time fixing whats already in the game. We complain because we love the game, hence we haven't moved on, but it's frustrating seeing it get more and more broken as you add Abrams and helicopters to appease those who just want "new stuff"
tooooo low that tank cost in BR ! it makes game so long and cost soooo many in repair that's no mean pls i have to pay premium account to balance the poor income and cost?? is that a kind of Pay 2 Win?
with air RB and both SIM battles playercounts dropping to critical levels, will gaijin adress their own problems instead of adding new shiny things for a quick buck?
Well, now that they have Planes, Tanks, Helicopters, and Ships, the next logical step would be to add Infantry. Anyway nearly every plane over tier 2 and most bombers have next to no suitability at the moment due to their tail sections only being about to handle literally a handful of machine gun rounds before breaking off, the rest of the plane stays intact, just the entire rear end spontaneously breaks cleanly off after a single part of the tail gets damaged, even parts of the rear of the
plane breaks off, for example when the P-61 loses a part of its tail, not only does the entire rest of the tail come off but the entire rear gunner compartment.
LSPRaven, Even if the rear gunner compartment has taken no damage, but the rest of the fuselage stays intact.
Also, could you add the ability to choose to not research anything, when trying to research modifications for a new aircraft, tank, etc., so it doesn't take twice or even three times as long to get a single modification, since 50% to 75% or more of your research points get automatically put into researching a vehicle instead of modifications. That would help solve a lot of the modification grind problems.
Also, could you remove needing to buy vehicles you don't want in order to research the next one in the tech tree.
LSPRaven, Or at least add the ability to sell vehicles you don't want.
first of all great job on this update i love the choppers i have found only 2 issues one is that in cockpit view in choppers it shakes and jerks around thats the only bug i have found the other issue is that in rb the spawn points for choppers are static and alot of pilots know where the spawns are and camp them in planes to jump the helicopters is there any way to make heli spawns kinda random so we dont get instantly jumped on by planes and jets?
Matchmaking appears to be broken, as of the hotfix.
Its a feature ?!?!? Sadly, one I seem to have as well.
Restarting the game fixed it, I think it just glitched.
