War Thunder of Gaijin has been hard at work, WHOA! Helos are so NICE! GREAT WORK! <3
pls add T-90, T-90 bishma and T-15 armata and T-14 armata this year please. Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Where are my stats like last year? Or did you not do it?
Hi Gaijin ! This is a very seriously subjection. Can you, disable Ka-50 from Realistic Tank Battle or change something ? Currently, this helicopter is very bad for player experience who are against during a battle in 10.3. See by yourself. Thank you for all your continuous job.
Can you do something to stop spawn kill ?
Happy new year ...... any plans of making the Top tier a bit less like what it is atm ?. its a bit unfair having 1 team with a decent Challenger 2 and an okish M1A1 HA ( cuz that thing isnt a A2 ) vs Loe2A4,A5 Ariete PSO, Leclerc, T-80s. then we have the cancer ADATS but the Tunguska isnt much better but in heli warfare its extrem. Mi35, mi28 and a KA-50 vs an AH-1Z xD, balanced like honestly. im not gonna ask for Apache M1A2 TUSK etc but atleast make it Nato vs Warsaw Pact or something
T-72AV ERA upgrade or my christmas won't be complete :( Btw both merkavas could go 0.3-0.7 lower in br wouldn't make much difference. Might make them playable.
