War Thunder is about to change for the better

[@martinjuniorbalbihurtado9599]

And what about the enemies that "dies" like actually dead, gray nickname and everything that manages to get to airfield and repairs. Do that enemy gets a reward for surviving or do you lose that kill?

[@WalvisYT]

I'm pinning your comment because I would like others to also see my reply. Although I don't mention this in the video, they are also changing what counts as 'being dead'. With this new system, one of the following needs to happen for a player to be considered dead: A. Dead / unconscious pilot. B. Destruction of every control surface or the tail fall of. C. Plane crashes into the ground. D. Enemy pilot J’s out. This means that, from now on, when a player is considered dead they also physically can’t make it back to their base and repair; if you have gotten a confirmed kill that player is 100% out of the match. I hope this clarrifies things!

[@snottytoe6957]

I still love the idea of some sort of incentive or reward for ejecting out of your aircraft instead of just crashing and killing your pilot, or getting pilot sniped in head ons. It would make the ejection seats useful and make it so that people who are flat spinning don't just stay in the plane so that a teammate can come in to finish them off.

A change that doesn't necessarily take away rewards for playing near teammates is the kinda stuff i hope to see more here. I had a lot of cases where i was a little bummed i ran out of ammo right as i crippled an enemy and a teammate had to finish the kill, now its basically a win-win

[@WalvisYT]

[@unlockingsnow73]

I like this. Reminds me of battlefield's kill assist counts as kill mechanic. If you shot someone and did 80% or more of the hp. (100 HP health bar so 80HP or more) And someone else then swooped in and yoinked the kill, they'd get awarded the kill both through a kill banner but also on the scoreboard....but most importantly you would additionally get the kill assist counts as kill banner and also get awarded on the score board. Yes the downside is now it will be harder to track kills and K/D will be less important but realistically I think it's a great change for quality of life and grievances around kill stealing. Plus let's be honest if your mucking about looking at someone's K/D in war thunder you probably need to find something better to do.

[@BerserkerLuke]

K/D is already muddied by the fact that ai kills count, at least on individual planes. So it's already worthless since you can farm ai to prop it up.

[@Mucky_Muck]

@@BerserkerLuke K/D was always bullshit because like you said, AI was counted towads K/D and kill stealing also boosted K/D massively. Every time someone came in to finish off burning or spinning plane he got +1 kill with zero effort or skill required.

[@richardcreasey9319]

The fact that they're letting people test and try it out not on the live server is a nice change. Cannot tell you how many times in the past some change or vehicle has been pushed to live in a completely borked state and it's just like "what are y'all even doing in the dev server? Why does the live server have to be the 2nd round of QA for shit?" I can understand general patches and bugfixes, but shit like the air superiority top dogs just taking a fat dump on 11.3s for a month is a little unacceptable. And I remember, before that update dropped I was expressing concern that the br ceiling wasn't going up and people were all like "bro, it's just the dev server. Calm down. It's not final." And it totally ended up being final for an entire month and some change.

[@Jaeger_89]

Is this helpful? Yes it is. However, it still does not solve Air RB's biggest issue IMO, and something that has turned me off completely from it: The fact that every single game is absurdly one-sided either way. I am really tired of either having to face off against the entire enemy team because mine disappeared while I flanked or was busy notching a SARH, or having no one to kill because everyone on the other team dies immediately upon contact before you can even warm up a missile. Matches are currently extremely unbalanced and since we have no game mode with respawns, this problem's severity gets multiplied by a lot...

[@jackgamer6307]

While this is a good change, I don't think kill stealing is the biggest issue for air RB. I think 16v16 by itself results in a lot more theft, this is just a band-aid fix (Also not to mention this is yet another way aircraft earn exponentially more RP than anything else, you can't get 5-digit ammounts of RP in tanks without a booster or literal godlike play)

6:30 american planes are way better decoys than any flare. why don't they just make TF130 and J79 dispensers for aircraft nowadays?

[@saika4043]

This mechanic should be added for all modes, especially naval. Naval is absolutely broken and i can only assume the engine cant handle the amount of damage that is dealt in a match, the amount of assists you can gain in naval is insane. Alot of times you chew down an enemy BB or Cruiser like 80% of the crew but only get an assist in the end because he had a fire or flooding from someone else and you get basically nothing but an assist for like 3min~ of combat.

[@YeEpIkAiYeI]

I feel the first thing they should fix is BR compression. There's enough players in the game for queue times to not be that long.

[@KrowDD214]

I havent had a queue more than a minute in years. What they need to do is stop with the 80% uptiers... there IS enough people in the game that it shouldnt be a problem like it is AND i'd wait the whole extra 10secs it might take to matchmake.

[@mkd4765]

that's the change I wanted since the begginig, finally gaijin did something right.

[@MeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowww]

I think the most importend part is, that the one doing the severe damage gets 80% of a kill reward and the other one finishing it off gets 40% of a kill reward. What means a kill just spit out 120% of a kill reward and therefor overall more points for everyone. Which means, kill stealing eachother is more beneficial then straight up killing enemys. Gaijin just made killstealing better then outride killing, let that sink in.

[@goldenbao3510]

One issue I see with this is that before I use the amount of kills someone has as game sense, like maybe hes at the airfield or hes a good player or maybe how many enemies there are left, with this, there is going to be a greater amount of kills than deaths which is annoying in like clutch situations for example

[@DaveHofm]

this would only matter when a kill steal is involved, which would previously actually hide the good player since he wouldnt get the kill. for figuring out how many enemies are left you can just look at enemy deaths instead, which is already the better method in the first place.

[@goldenbao3510]

@@DaveHofm thats true, what gaijin should do instead is that make a calculation where if someone does like critical damage which makes the enemy unable to fly, and then someone takes the kill, then the person who did the first servere CRIT should get the kill.

Kill count also didn't mean shit before because you can easily kill steal and boost your kill count.

So far they are still dancing around the real issue. Getting some of the way to earn points back in the Air Realistic battles. Right now being in the furball and being a 'good team mate providing cover' is not rewarded anymore and only the "kills count", putting people in competitions against each other even in the same team. When at the start of the game, cooperative work was rewarded. And there are situations where a lower BR player get jumped by multiple enemies, managing to survive, dodge them all, and bring them low and slow. Having them then killed for trying to all get after 1 targets and the person who managed that feat get 0 rewards at all. I know, I had a couple of battles with 0pts awarded at the end of the battle while being center of the furball. Covering allies, without trying to steal their kills, or just seeing my target obliterated by a missile that was shot from behind me (so taking a huge risk from my own team mate to hit me) while I only had some cannon and needed to get just a bit closer to insure a good shot having no "bazillion ammo counts" to spray and pray. Gaijin removed all those rewards a long while ago because they argued some peoples were "abusing them". Right now when the battles last so little time, and the absence of ELO rating make sure most battle are extra one sided there are lot of people who don't get any reward while being "team players", and pushed further and further in the "I steal a kill because that's how we can make points, thanks to gaijin". So them now coming with ways to "correct an issue" they created themselves is hardly something that I call "good", as if they had though about making the game "a good cooperative environment" kill stealing would not happen as much as it happen now.

Ya'll still get the full reward for each kill, if anything you'll probably be getting more since there won't be as much motivation to tunnel-vision a target to make sure you get the kill, which inevitably gets *you* shot down. And if the mechanic actually WORKS, you won't get robbed of assists/kills you 100% should have gotten in the first place. I've had enemies crippled and burning, a teammate swoops in and nabs the kill, and I get absolutely NOTHING despite doing all the work.

To me it is being 30 seconds into an AB BR11+ game and a quarter of you team is already gone, cause it consisted of Wallet Warrior, that only have one aircraft and they got shot down. The second most frustrating thing is the soviet bias, just compare how fast a target gets locked in a MiG-23 (and upwards = 27/29 SU-27) and compare that to your average US Radar (F-4/14/etc). The soviet Radar locks up around half a second faster.

​@@donbusu Well, in case you didn't know, there needs to be more than a few hundred unsatisfied players for them to consider it as something that must be changed.

And btw I could still advance without a problem to Rank 5 before the good economy change as a f2p player, because I started to play when the bad economic change happened. And idk what universe you live in, because they are rather fast at fixing bugs, since every few days there is a patch update of a few hundred MBs. Idk man, I don't see any game breaking issues...sure, I have impossible bounces out of thousands of shells, but please introduce a game where such mechanics work flawlessly :"D I played WoT Blitz for 8 years, and I can confidently say, that 3 out of 10 of my shells were ineffective thanks to it being either a ghost shell, or RNG "autobounce". Also, they banned chat for everyone, brought it back after quite some time, but shortened its length to like 10 letters, and shortly after it got removed altogether...and after months, now its a short chat that becomes unavailable after death. Compared to that, Gaijin's policy on this is MILES better...it gives you absolute freedom, and you can choose to censor it for you or not.

Now you are forced to double your lifetime to get the plane you want to play with. Wow! How better is this? Way better, huh? This is only one aspect, and one factor. Let me tell you what is going to happen next following the trend of cutting down SL gains on all the premium and rest of the planes or tanks in a game. Before with couple kills and few gt on let say Narval I was gaining over 100 k SLs. Now with the same efforts I am gaining almost half. Same with all the other premiums like Zero etc. So… let me predict: if they are adding more sl for a kill as you are saying then I will afirm they will cut them from the winner, who actually killed it. It is a split and not an add on. Stop telling BS about how this company loves the players and make all the efforts to improve the game. It is all about tactics to charge more. I have to admit, they really succeed in being a so called “ free to play” charging you for singular modules more than DCS world are charging for a really complicated and realistic simulation game.

is this only RB or is it also in AB?

[@randydavis7650]

I have the f15 was in a dog fight with two planes I took out two pulled the equivalent of a cobra and took out the third that was behind me but he got a missle off took out half of left wing and tip of right wing (not my tail) so I was still able to get two more missle kills and able to fly back and land at airbase to repair barely it was awesome

[@zawadlttv]

i think 50% for the aircraft finished off is probably even too much as it should at most be as much as for an assist. on the other hand the plane should be damaged to the point of no return for it to be severe damage.

getting kill stolen while dogfighting -51,782 sl

Does that mean assisted is gone?

[@WalvisYT]

Nope, getting an assist was still possible. If you only score a (critical) hit but nothing else you'd still get an assist.

this is a temporary solution to a gameplay problem.

Might sound like a useless question but are you Dutch? Just wondering because I am

[@AngeredPally]

Finishing off an opponent that has been severely damaged by someone else should count as an assist. You already get partial credit for "finishing off" boom At worst we will have to count the points up and compare it to the kill count to see if someone's trying to pad their frags.

[@WalvisYT]

Why should I get an assist for killing an enemy who is still very much combat capable / a threat just because my teammate damaged one of their control surfaces. Especially at top tier, this is an issue.

[@StrayGuard]

Oh look all of are going to get less rewards making grind harder and why thats a good thing
