Mechanics - Passed To Developers - November 2024 - War Thunder

[@TheEuropeanCanadian]

Might be time to start holding competitions for people to make maps instead of random person posting image from google earth and talking about how it would be a great map because realism. Let's get modelling it.

[@Jovan007]

Gaijin should start making community events that will inovlve community in improving the game

[@copperthedergy]

i genuinely dont know if we as users or even skilled Dagor Editor users (custom battle map creators) can create new terrain maps for the game, that might be locked off to devs exclusively

[@97thGalaxy]

I wish gaijin would add things that incentivize teamwork, such as rewards for protecting a friendly vehicle or marking a vehicle close to an unaware friendly tank. IM NOT TALKING ABOUT SL REWARDS HERE, AWARDS THAT GIVE YOU SL ARE VERY ANNOYING SINCE THEY DONT GIVE RP OR SCORE The goal is that teams should play to win the game, not to get as many personal kills as possible

[@AlRizz187]

there is. for shooting an enemy that hit a friendly a reward for being close to your squadmate and scouting for them or scouting for planes or destrying scouted things

[@97thGalaxy]

​@@AlRizz187 I am aware of that, but there is no incentive for teamates to actualy help you if you are taking fire, etc

[@tomsmith7207]

I welcome more incentives for teamwork anyday. Indeed the focus should be on winning the game.

[@mattyboy2386]

This. Matches would actually feel like you have a team instead of a game WITH teammates.

[@joshuacrafts9284]

OH! The QOL on that tech tree search would be literally the best thing ever!

[@TheEuropeanCanadian]

agreed

[@wifi_soldier5076]

One thing I would like added its the ability to increase reload speed for auto-loaders In real life thee Leclerc can reaload in 4 seconds, but this causes wear and tear on the auto loader. They could give the fast reload as an option, but when you reaload there is a chance your auto-loader could break. Some thing for the T-72 / T-90 ZTZ 96 / ZTZ 99, they can reload in 6.5 seconds in real life as long as your firing the same type of shell, if you switch shells the auto loader has to move armound.

[@PawelNewby]

give the option to choose long or medium/short range maps, and limit the weaponry available for the shorter range maps so that it will be a proper game, not a missile sh*tfest

[@PvtPartzz]

@TEC I would love for you to cover the game Nuclear Option and look at the way AI ground units are created by the fob’s and airfields scattered around the maps. Those AI then form convoys on their way to the nearest enemy ground bases where they may encounter enemy ground forces en route to do the same to their bases. Ground battles ensue and if the forces continue unabated then they can capture the bases and push the frontlines closer to the enemy. This is exactly how Enduring Confrontation *should* function and it would be the dominant game mode in War Thunder if devs made updates to how convoys and ground battles spawn.

[@Tigran-lo4st]

😂

[@sebastiankillin7940]

Insane nothing burger of a list except for that one decal. The french pilot, sure, but we don't need to waste time on realistic maps or night battles. The tech tree is literally so easy to work with. there is no reason why anyone shouldn't be familiar with the tech trees of nations they play, and therefore, they should know their way around them

[@simonaarekol3336]

I'd imagine it's for premium players who doesn't bother grinding through the tech tre, and thus doesn't know what is in them. To me it sounds like a waste of time to implement this because it will no doubt introduce bugs along the way, and really is not needed.

[@hotsnow5042]

How about a search feature to hilight all the vehicles with a certain munition, cannon size, or some other commonly-sought features

[@TheLiquidAtom]

would love to see the searchability of tech tree improved even more. example, type aphebc or laser rangefinder and you get all vehicles capable of those.

[@peosio96]

Have they ever passed to developers more objectives for air vehicles to do in GRB? Like bombing bases or fuel depots? This way making it more of an actual “Combined Arms” game mode?

[@JustJAYY334]

Nah, it's a PvP game with optional PvE objectives so I doubt they would add anymore PvE objectives, especially cause people who do try to focus on Objectives or use their attack planes to attack ground targets get looked down on or even reported for "passive playing"

[@peosio96]

@ there must be a way tho. We need to keep brainstorming and push for better ideas for the game.

[@JustJAYY334]

@@peosio96 I fully agree, but the majority of the community is not really gonna care unless a CC or a Dev starts to mention it, and that's just really unfortunate for the players who actually care about the game and gameplay. Not just the kills and skill gap, which makes it hard for new players. And then they get mad when new players aren't able to just jump in and be good cause there's is no way for them to practice and nobody shows them how to do it.

[@fen3532]

0:42 A programmer friend of mine told me that the problem is that the game engine cannot understand physics beyond the range of the current 128x128 km maps, the flight model and overall physics would be significantly buggy after such a range. So Gajin would need to update how the basics of their game works, and they did it with the New Power update that took em over whole year if you want to belive them.

[@TheEuropeanCanadian]

Yup pretty much, also same as what gaijin said

[@petrkdn8224]

dagor 7 is almost guaranteed to be coming in december patch, before dagor 6 (2020), each major dagor version was released on average every 2 years. and now its currently 2024 and last major release was 4 years ago, with a small release in 2022 with Dagor 6.5. We are pretty much guaranteed to get Dagor 7 this update.

[@painkiller5565]

they need to implement either 12v12 or 8v8 gamemodes for air rb we dont need bigger maps we need lesser players on each teams

[@hoshinotshennya]

@@painkiller5565 no

@@hoshinotshennya have fun with more bs in air rb :)

[@a_catfish5180]

I’ve always had the thought an air map that was only water and an aircraft carrier to land on would be very fun (I suppose a compromise would have to be made by including an island with a normal size runway) Not because it would fit a mega or anything it would just be so different and could look beautiful

[@emryntoll6212]

This game has gotten so generic over the past few years and lost a majority of its historical authenticity. I remember back in the day when you'd have historic matchups like allies fighting axis, or nato vs warsaw pact at the higher tiers. [it's important to note that by historic matchups i don't mean king tigers fighting shermans just the way the countries are set up between the teams]. It's the same thing with the maps. Before they added rank 6 the maps used to fit the time period, and now you get modern day maps at rank 1 (at least in tanks), and this even happens in sim. And it's the same problem at top tier, there are modern mbts fighting on ww2 maps. They could fix this really easily by for example splitting the countries into alliances based on the era. So in the WW2 era you could have these groups fighting each other Allies [UK, US, France, and the one that shouldnt exist] Axis [Ger, Jap, Ita] Soviets and China [could fight allies in alt history scenarios] Sweden could go between axis and allies And the maps could be fixed by making variations of them based on the era

[@emryntoll6212]

istg no game has more wasted potential than war thunder

[@eliasalvessouza4607]

What do you guys think about the troop carriers in the game being able to carry extra crew in the back and work as a crew carrier for the team? Or maybe make them be full of ammo there and work as a moving ammo box for the team

[@ximiraxelo7375]

Guys I have to ask something, is anyone of you have a problem with the AV 8C with thouse Aim 9G on 9.7 ? I mean, me in my lightning, what I'm I suppose to do if I get one of thouse missiles on my 6' ? I don't have flares and I can't escape thouse missiles

[@rominavvv261]

for the research of vehicles,they can put to the research leves + 2 up,like with rank 4 you could research rank 6 without any penalty,it to much in those ranks

[@questionmark05]

For aviation a filter to show what planes can carry torpedoes, would be nice.

[@JohnSmith-tg5li]

Really don't give a shit whether maps are balanced or not, as long as we get maps that benefit both sides with some semblance of actually locations.

[@Skibidy_rizzler_]

Once when i played air it was completely dark and everyone was confused so i thought night in air already exists

[@guutn7973]

There is a very very tiny chance of getting a full night battle where you can hardly even see your own plane.

[@NVBWT]

Any tips for the f15a (i just got it)

[@pvwatermelon2450]

Night battles sounds really fun and lets planes with questionably useful radars like the sea venom be able to make an impact

[@taylormay9938]

Unbalanced gameplay is hardly an argument against realistic locations. There are tons of ways of adjusting for that...

[@2goober4u]

There's a reason symmetrical maps are so popular

[@dennis5607]

nice lets just make the maps large enough to fly 10m before reaching the first enemy

[@martinwellhoefer9159]

Like EC maps?

Jokes on you i am Chinese

[@starfighter1043]

I feel a bit different from the map immersion like you explained. Because for one how do I know what the city if Karelia looks like 😂 or Kosovo or Pyongyang for that matter 😂 it could be a jungle map and they throw the name Vietnam on it and I wouldn't know a difference at all most people wouldn't even know and how do you have time in battles to be immersed in the landscape while you're fighting jets going mach1+ nobody is nit picking the Ardennes forest like nope those trees aren't found here 😂 also you're in the air like how do I know that's Berlin that's 20k feet under me thru cloud clover ☠️🤣🤣🤣 ppl are focused on the wrong shit miniscule shit while there's still bugs and glitches and shit that don't work right. Before they ADD anything they need to fix what we've already got!

[@BugattiONE666]

Just make chaff work?

[@hades1890]

Map sizes like that wont ever come, snail's too stupid to do something like that. Same goes for night battles in air RB.

[@MajorMorrozov]

Side note..night battles shouldnt be an option. it should just happen. why do people get to "chose" they dont chose. grow up its night. learn how to fight. you have nvg. you have thermals. in the air you have radar. Nevermind the fact of how immensly common night combat is. almost more than day time. Generally you even do better at night than day

[@superliogaming]

Least obvious rage bait ever lol

[@MajorMorrozov]

@superliogaming I get roughly 5x the ammount of kills in night battles as I do in day battles. it's not even a close comparison. people need to grow up and just start thinking

[@TheRealSteve42]

I agree

[@Fiasco3]

I miss proper Ground RB Night-Battles. It was a challenge but made you think about your line-up in high-tier.

[@MajorMorrozov]

@Fiasco3 Wasn't a challenge to me. I just found a spot and waited and racked up 8+ kills on average because everyone just charged into the open. they complain about night being bad but they don't stop to look around at all.

[@ricolives1166]

Jokes on you TEC. I'll never be a commie and learn their languages. I'm American and I enjoy my freedom

[@MajorMorrozov]

1. nobody cares about ballance nit even game devs they very clearly don't care about ballance. 2. There should be no fake maps of places that don't exist. none. 3. bring back white rock fortress. one of the only deccent maps for low tier. and they removed it. when half of thier ground maps are WORTHLESLY INADEQUATE. the same with air but to a less degree. 4. Place Sam/spaag sites across air rb maps. force people to climb or face the missiles and ground fire. period.
