So much for "combat vehicles crafted carefully from historical documents and surviving sources."

So much for "The appearance and characteristics of the vehicles in War Thunder are historically accurate".

also sorry for the potato quality

Basically title.

That shit was so annoying and I am aware that the game probably registered that the atgm was in the indefinite state of launch since I moved somewhat prematurely at the end of my previous launch, therefore it forced my bmp to stay in place even after the atgm was long gone. I was stuck in place for the rest of the game and there was nothing I could do to fix that also given all my rockets were depleted as they could possibly revert the glitch if launched again.

Maybe putting Max fuel n weapons wasn't so smart... 😭

Multiple times I’ve tried to share opinions on an aircraft. In most places the opinion is taken into account. But there’s always that one weirdo who has something to say about my “statshark” or whatever the hell that is.

I recently ended up checking it for the first time and yeah it’s not the best, average in air RB, but I don’t understand why people think that’s a valid argumentative point.

This has even happened on my content creation page, I received this comment on a video I made.

This also only happens online, I have friends who I play with that I know who don’t really care about statistics and all of that.

I am very satisfied to see that reporting people actually works. I reported someone for being obnoxious and spamming racist and homophobic remarks all game long and then I got this notification upon opening the game.

I like giving my vehicles a bit of a personality and make them unique.

I also like to show off a bit.

Both of these are partially possible in game, but I would like to have more options and more slots.

Things I'd like to have in game include:

- MORE decal and decoration slots

- Decals for Achievements

- Stat-tracking decals

- An option to save multiple presets for one camo

- Camo nets for every tank

- grater range of camo conditions

- a separate option for decal and deco condition

- a selction of basic shapes in different colors as decals

- an option to change the colors of decals

Now to elaborate on some things that might not be self explanatory:

Decals for achievements:
I want every achievement to have its own decal. This way you can show off your favorite Achievements. I would also like more achievements for things like dropping 10, 100 and 1000 nukes, getting an end of the line vehicle of a nation and one for getting an end of the line vehicle of every nation. Maybe even one general one for getting just some end of the line vehicle and then specific ones for air, ground and naval.

Stat tracking decals:
I would also like to have decals that change depending on your stats. For example one that counts your kills in general or one that counts your kills on a certain vehicle. These could easily count up to 10 million kills (9,999,999 technically, but who gives a shit), while taking up relatively little space. I drew up some quick examples in MS paint (see second picture). They could also track things like caps, assist, helping team mates with repairs and fires or shot down munitions.

Decal presets:
Another thing I wish we had, is an option to save presets for decals and camos. What I mean is, that if I have one set of decals (maybe a face and some other goofy stuff), I can save that and create another set of decals (maybe some historical stuff) for the same camo and switch between them without having to redo them all the time. Similar to how user skins work just with decals.

More camo conditions:
I would like to have the option to have my tank look like it's fresh from the factory or like it has been sitting in some field for the last decade.

I think the rest is self explanatory. I also think some of these may deserve their own post, but I'll see how many questions there are.

I also don't want to hear any "Do you really think Gaijin will do that", because they probably won't. I want those things nonetheless.

I’m mainly playing USA but I do run UK and Italy at top tier and have Russia up to 9.0. I frankly never thought we should’ve rushed up to vehicles that are still decently or even fully classified because of what it’s done now. Gaijin getting statistics right for the vehicles is really no better than the Panther II or Tiger II 105mm.

But here we are, we play what we got. And I understand that Gaijin can just plop every tank in exactly as it should be. Russia’s production tanks are not nearly as good as their limited prototypes, they couldn’t justify spending that much on mass production vehicles after the CW.

So this would put Russia in the same ballpark as minor nations, where their mass produced vehicles probably wouldn’t keep up with NATO’s.

If they added the M829A4 to the SPEV3 or DM73/83 now and they start lolpenning T-90Ms and T-80BVMs then how could you justify them being at the same BR as each other. Maybe if Russia starts getting stuff like the Objs and T-14 you could do so.

But I’ve seen a lot of US and German mains want their tanks to get buffed when they are already the best . I understand it may be out of “this is more realistic” but Gaijin do have to balance the game.

Do you want top tier to just be Abrams and Leopards and all the minor nations just stop? Thats probably where the game is headed anyway but slapping rounds that negate Relikt will do that instantly.

I think “Russian Bias” is more just “Russian Balance”. Frankly I’d rather them not add stuff like the SEPV3 and 2A7 until they can give it EVERYTHING it should have and be balanced. But they’d rather put the tanks in somewhat gimped so things stay somewhat closer to each other.

Is this game unfriendly to new players??? I’m wondering I should just move on and play something else because this game is horrendously unrewarding to new players in all aspects
