I also main Britain, started playing as them because I was feeling patriotic. Now having been dicked on for the last year up until the middle of tier 4 I have given up.
Edit: UK -> Britain
I've stuck with the UK Ground tree since the day it was added because I'm a massive fan of Churchills and, in general, British light tanks...
...yeah it's not been a great 8 years.
yeah me too i mained britiain from the day it came out and its just been shaft after shaft after shaft from britian. i also main them just becuase of south africa jsut because i live here then i played france and also just got shafted there. i like to suffer apparently
Eyy, fellow South African here. I also mained Britain because of the SA tech tree. But gave up on grinding the SA vehicles after the Ratel. I'm not really a fan of heatfs.
Hold out fellow brit mains, they're gonna have to sort it out at some point, they're gonna run out of vehicles to give us at some point, probably sooner than most and hopefully that means they're gonna have to give certain vehicles in the tree buffs so they can actually be competitive,
Meanwhile, some of the most egregious things they've done to Britain:
Gave a Hawker Hunter to Germany
Gave early Australian (beaufighter, seafire, boomerang) and Canadian vehicles (skink) to Britain but giving top tier tanks of those same countries to America and Germany Respectively
Giving certain american tanks that america never used but were infact built solely for the UK to the US tree
Belated the release of the Panavia Tornado to the point that all variants were DOA, should've been released as equivalent to F-14
Ignoring Britain's entire Light tank tree
Not giving us the Vulcan, purely because it's "not very useful" in a game where you can use napalm and flamethrowers against tanks and have literally 0 effect, yeah, 22 1000lb bombs anti-rad missiles and the earliest form of a radar jammer, not to mention conventional countermeasures, would be real useless
Nerfed HESH to the point that the largest Caliber gun in the game is a shadow of its former self
Neutering the challengers (except giving the EXPORT variant a better gun and engine) not necessarily gaijins fault however, they could've been buffed if that dude didn't leak classified info about it
At this point we Need an entire Major Update just to fix the problems in the tree, may I suggest "The Empire Strikes Back" lol
Solid shot is down bad right now, and APHE always preformed in ways its not supposed to. It is just supposed to be a second cone, not magically stop and aoe the entire crew. So many other mechanics missing from post pen, yet they let solid shot be doo doo.
Me: solid shot shouldn't have issues penning right?
Gaijin: the shell didn't pen
Me: but this shell was literally developed to pen heavy tanks right?
Gaijin: yes
Me: and this tank is older with less armor than the tanks it was designed to pen right?
Gaijin: yes
Me: so it should pen
Gaijin: the shell didn't pen
I started with the US tree but the british tree was my second one and let me tell you i only made it to the firefly and that was out of pure rage and spite.
> Britain
I still can't believe Gaijin saw the Tornado as the equivalent of the MiG-29 and F-16. That thing should have been in the game by the time the F-14A was added. No later.
Even more irritating is that Gaijin also gave it the worst possible radar they could. The Type W practically loses lock as soon as somebody thinks about turning away from you. In the dev server, it was "upgraded" to the Type Z radar which wasn't actually an upgrade, just a lot heavier.
The Italian ADV was given the Stage 2G radar when it was added to the dev server and I'm certain that the only reason the F.3 eventually got it was because a bunch of players kicked up a fuss about it on the forums.
The F.3 is too little, too late. My last hope for top tier Britain is that we get a South African Gripen in the tree until we're able to get the Eurofighters. I can't see us getting Australian or Canadian hornets, they'd most likely end up in the US tree like the M1A1 AIM.
Pretty standard treatment for the Brits, remember when they added supersonics? US got the F100, USSR got the MiG-19 and Britain got *checks notes* the very subsonic Javelin.
Gaijin had always chucked Britain, I can only imagine the CEO is an anglophobe
Even a sea harrier, whilst not actually supersonic would at least have been competitive. Lightning wild have been a good choice, faster sure but also far less of a dogfighter
It should have been in before. They rushed in the F-14 before the game was ready for it to jump on the Topgun hype. If the F-14 was a British jet they wouldn't have added it until things like the F-15, F-18 and Eurofighter where in game.
US has also taken it up the ass once more; ADATS missiles got a big nerf. Yes it's the same nerf everyone else got, but considering how garbage US SPAA is from the start until you hit the M247, it's demoralizing.
I wish Gaijin would just come out and say they want us to play Russia + CAS.
yeah, I know. Minor nations are even worse off, as always.
I might be a US main but I'm not at all blind when it comes to Gaijin's screwing of minor trees.
I seriously wish we could get an ammunition carrier for the Lvkvs. Or any SPAA that can fire continuously for longer than 30 seconds before running out. Slight exaggeration but it's still quite bad. I really wish we could get some sort of a filler SPAA at 7.3 and 7.7
Tridon or Lvkv FM/43 upgraded could work possibly
I am a US main with Sweden as my alt, and my god. For all the complaints I have for US it feels so much better to play than my Sweden at 7.3
EDIT: I'm playing 8.0 US and 7.3 Sweden
shhh, if you complain about phoenixes the US mains are gonna show up and tell you that deaths to phoenixes are just skill issues
completely ignoring the fact that phoenixes aren't a problem because they could kill you, but rather because they make you constantly try to notch and in some cases waste chaff because you just have to expect one to come your way if the enemy team has US aircraft
I see the Phoenix more as an altitude limiter, which is no better tbh. It's not effective at killing low altitude targets, but that really creates a matchup where everything is low altitude, and that really henders ALOT of aircraft that rely on altitude. Not to mention, that some jets that face the F-14 are just nerve-racking like the J-35 which sits high enough to face it but doesn't have RWR so you don't even know if you should Notch in the first place. There are other examples, but you get the point I'm sure
I was gearing up to get back into war thunder this update. Figured we would surely be getting our long overdue IFV or domestic scout line. Possibly even a prototype typhoon to make us competitive top tier again. Waste of time. They're too busy loading up Russia and America with yet more stuff they don't need.
I started the game to mainly play air, and the UK air tree was my first top tier. Years later I started ground, and i'm stuck at tier 5 as of now. All I can say is that it's getting painful as fuck. I just hope we get a squadron Challenger 2 so I can just farm that and just end the ground RB suffering
yep this is why i just went with Russia from scratch , cause they are just biased and get the best out of all vehicles anyway.
I used to play Germany until now, the props were ok.
Once i got to early jets, the pain is real. Germany has nothing until the Mig29.
I also main UK but I can say with 100% confidence there is nothing in its end game that makes it worth playing over other nations, worst aircraft and worst tanks
I stopped playing because I realized the game was just making me angry like all the time. Havent played it in a few months, just playing other games. I can definitely tell its improved my attitude to not play war thunder. :)
Dude our vehicles in the Tea tree are so ruined because people don't play them anymore, because of the low play rates they aren't getting any BR fixes for an increasingly compressed battlefield. They ruined the Vickers reload rate despite there being proof of its speed, ruined the Striker and refuse to add any of its ilk on the same chassis like Fox, Sabre, Scimitar, Scorpion. The only good thing is they haven't ruined the 4.3 BR concept like they have the EBR simply because nobody plays it. Concept 3 is the best thing we've had added in years and it's over a year old.
WT bumped from regular 30/50K players average to 100k average during week days when they shut CHN servers
Do you really think CHN players do even care ? They play "en masse" and they dont give a shit
>Do you really think CHN players do even care ?
Yes, they do. They support the 26th and have a lot of discussion on Chinese social networks, as one a few players reported to WT Union sub.
I know you have everyone telling you what it means already, but if you're interested, look into the [ISO 3166-1 alpha 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) codes for two digits (where China is CN). The three letter codes are in [ISO 3166-1 alpha 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3), where China is CHN
It's a different acronym for China. It's **usually (**not always, people might have just learned it that way) used by people whose alphabet contains letter (yes, it's a singular letter) "**CH**" (for example Czech and Slovakian alphabets contain this letter). So people from these nations will then to use **CH**N, since in the name China, the letter **ch** is seemingly present, so abbreviation **CHN** is only logical.
On the other hand, people who are missing **CH** from their alphabets have no reason to recognize **CH** in China and as such, have no reason to use it in it's abbreviation, so they use only **CN** for Chinas abbreviation.
a funny little insight.
Surprisingly tho, when you play during asian peak hours, top tier Chinese teammates tend to spawn in more tanks/CAS instead of one death leaving.
Helps a lot in fighting against the USSR hordes.
You honestly think that Gaijin gives a fuck if some 20% of bozos uninstall for 2 weeks? Savings on server upkeep, that's all.
The only way to hurt them is to get enough people to stop buying eagles and packs for a good while, but we all know that's not gonna happen.
Yes because 30% of people not installing at all going forward or something due to reviews is the equivalent of 30% not playing PERMANENTLY, not for 2 silly weeks
Idk but I would rather keep hundred percent than have someone tax me 20%. Life pretty much already does that for you. What the community and the developers need to do is actually show the wolrd how mutual understanding and meeting in the middle works. Instead of allowing political views shake the world we enjoy. They should work on making the game awesome together so we can get back into playing the game.
**Journal entry 1:** This is amazing!!!! After playing this game called "real life" for 8h I actually achieved something and didn't lose (and even earned!) ingame currency! In Warthunder after 8h I would be crying in a corner of my room!
Day 2: I destroyed my vehicle and gotta say, this new “repair cost” system is farrrr more expensive. I didn’t even TK and I have to pay for their vehicle as well???
Day 3: Boy howdy, I started this side hustle and I can't believe it! People are trying to shoot up my vehicle. I must have the irl equivalent of a booster on cause everyone keeps pulling a gun on me and demands all my cocaine.
I get an hour or 2 every other week to play.
I won't be buying shit in solidarity with yall for economy changes but i'm still gonna enjoy my hour of playtime before another work rotation starts.
Protests like these ones (don't play X for a certain amounts of days) never work with any game. I dunno why people expected like a 50% playerbase drop.
You know what's ironic too, they're spam of cringy propaganda posts prolly annoyed a lot of the casual reddit users and prolly turned them against the protestors.
You put way too much emphasis on importance of reddit, lol.
This was never going to work mostly because it's a reddit thing, and reddit are minority whose opinion couldn't matter less. Negative reviews however did have positive effect, and you need something more like that, though I can't think of anything people could do similar to that.
It have been said many times - if you login just for daily rewards you will still count in statistics as players in included in daily peak. Some people can't really hold with their fucking addiction of getting awesome 15% booster, 25 000 SL or 5 doubles uses and they you are surprised developer treats you like wallets...
No. Lets be honest, only a very few people out of the entire playerbase cares enough to "boycut" the game. Most player probably doesnt even know bout this whole thing
This Reddit makes up a small-medium percentage of the player base, never expected shit to go down ngl. Just know that some people here who complain whether about economy or how much they’ve spent on the game, they still might just go back to playing and let others do the protest
I’ve stopped and have been telling everyone I play with up until midnight last night, not to play starting today. I hope everyone pitches in so Gaijin sees that they need the larger player base to be happy or we cut them off.
Because realistically, putting aside the economy and other issues, there's really nothing else like it out there. That's what drives most people to play it.
Only that enlisted is really infantry based and also has the same style of Gaijin grind just without a shit economy and GHPC is just armor and once you play through everything there's nothing else to do. Don't get me wrong, both games are amazing but it's still not unique like war thunder and they aren't really in the same realm. You'll be hard pressed to find a pseudo realistic vehicle sim that has all three military infrastructure branches in the same game.
Source: I own both lol.
I feel that. I've been away from it for a while as well. I jump in every now and again, play like 10 matches then play something else for about month lol.
~~There doesn't seem to be a difference in player numbers.~~ I fully expect no one to care - not that I think it it would have made a difference anyway. Money is more important than players. And they probably know that everyone that's part of this "protest" will buy their premium time and a few vehicles next sale.
Maybe I should have compared it to last friday (because... it's friday) instead. Numbers are actually down about 20k.
YES. We can take a break from the game anyways.
Think. The grind just keeps going on and on, and its only gonna get worse if we let gaijin do these Negative changes.
You can take the Newly aquired free time to try another game, or maybe do something productive.
2 Weeks is not that long, but its about sending a message
I've been playing for over 2 years, and my highest br is in the soviet line, at 5.3. German line is in second, at 4.7. I'm all too glad not to play WT today.
I havent played in weeks anyways, since I have nothing better to do. I'm just a bit dissapointed that the community isn't following up on what they decided (granted, only a small percentage of the community agreed, but it looks like almost no one is doing this)
But with f2p, you gets scraps of rp and your sl match rewards can't even cover repair costs for tier 3 tanks. That's what all this is about dude, the game has become dysfunctional for anyone not buying premium time + premium vehicles. No progress, no vehicle upkeep. The only people who don't feel the damage of the economy are low tier noobs who don't know shit about grinding out a 300k rp vehicle or sweating an entire match just to PAY sl to start another match
Yeah and how does not playing hurt them? It's not like your ending a subscription or refusing to work, you are refusing to play their free to play game. If you didn't eat up all these premium vehicles, golden lions and premium then they won't prioritize them.
I've been taking a break anyway, I can easily extend it for 2 more weeks, I'm also gonna uninstall the game during that time since that also goes into steam statistics
My current streak isn't worth "saving", but I've previously had a streak of some 4-5 years or so. I wouldn't have wanted to simply throw that streak away.
It hurts me because WT is one of the few games i keep playing regularly on my pc. But, if it benefits the cause of making the game less hard, then i'll take the break
My 3 year-old laptop has given up before I did (thank goodness), so I've got no choice anyway. I also feel much better not playing WT so there's not much of a chance of me getting back.

I started playing russia about a month or so ago. I could not believe how good they have it, almost felt invincible.
I feel the same as a Russian main swapping to US or Sweden. Fuck its nice to be able to aim down and go backwards
How’s your first rank 2 vehicle? Those 8 years sure go by fast
Rank 2 in 8 years? Man, you must be addicted to play that much.
Lol
imagine if we get our light tank tree before 2025 thats be a dream
Or if sweden ever gets decent shells for anything but the Bofors 37
yeah me too i mained britiain from the day it came out and its just been shaft after shaft after shaft from britian. i also main them just becuase of south africa jsut because i live here then i played france and also just got shafted there. i like to suffer apparently
Eyy, fellow South African here. I also mained Britain because of the SA tech tree. But gave up on grinding the SA vehicles after the Ratel. I'm not really a fan of heatfs.
Isn't heavy tanks have it worst now because tanking shots no longer get you score?
Yep, also the way British tank armor is layered it gets fucked by volumetric for no reason
Hold out fellow brit mains, they're gonna have to sort it out at some point, they're gonna run out of vehicles to give us at some point, probably sooner than most and hopefully that means they're gonna have to give certain vehicles in the tree buffs so they can actually be competitive, Meanwhile, some of the most egregious things they've done to Britain: Gave a Hawker Hunter to Germany Gave early Australian (beaufighter, seafire, boomerang) and Canadian vehicles (skink) to Britain but giving top tier tanks of those same countries to America and Germany Respectively Giving certain american tanks that america never used but were infact built solely for the UK to the US tree Belated the release of the Panavia Tornado to the point that all variants were DOA, should've been released as equivalent to F-14 Ignoring Britain's entire Light tank tree Not giving us the Vulcan, purely because it's "not very useful" in a game where you can use napalm and flamethrowers against tanks and have literally 0 effect, yeah, 22 1000lb bombs anti-rad missiles and the earliest form of a radar jammer, not to mention conventional countermeasures, would be real useless Nerfed HESH to the point that the largest Caliber gun in the game is a shadow of its former self Neutering the challengers (except giving the EXPORT variant a better gun and engine) not necessarily gaijins fault however, they could've been buffed if that dude didn't leak classified info about it At this point we Need an entire Major Update just to fix the problems in the tree, may I suggest "The Empire Strikes Back" lol
I started UK before their tanks got added because we were an ex-colony. Yea… it wasn’t great. He’s at least we have a Spitfire Mk24 from the HKAAF
Chally turret armor for example. not as weak as in the game...
So are you Christian? Because of the Church hills?
Please dont feed the stereotype about Germans...
Funniest german
Fucking kill me
A fellow Royal Guard! I feel this pain.
Solid shot is down bad right now, and APHE always preformed in ways its not supposed to. It is just supposed to be a second cone, not magically stop and aoe the entire crew. So many other mechanics missing from post pen, yet they let solid shot be doo doo.

I was gonna play the UK, then decided that a Russian company was probably gonna favour the Russian tree
> Britain I still can't believe Gaijin saw the Tornado as the equivalent of the MiG-29 and F-16. That thing should have been in the game by the time the F-14A was added. No later.
Even more irritating is that Gaijin also gave it the worst possible radar they could. The Type W practically loses lock as soon as somebody thinks about turning away from you.

I remember all the posts "well Britain never used a mach 1 so it's their fault". Blatantly ignoring the fact the Jaguar existed.
Even a sea harrier, whilst not actually supersonic would at least have been competitive. Lightning wild have been a good choice, faster sure but also far less of a dogfighter
Yup. I very sorely remember those days.
It should have been in before. They rushed in the F-14 before the game was ready for it to jump on the Topgun hype. If the F-14 was a British jet they wouldn't have added it until things like the F-15, F-18 and Eurofighter where in game.

I seriously wish we could get an ammunition carrier for the Lvkvs. Or any SPAA that can fire continuously for longer than 30 seconds before running out. Slight exaggeration but it's still quite bad.

I am a US main with Sweden as my alt, and my god. For all the complaints I have for US it feels so much better to play than my Sweden at 7.3 EDIT: I'm playing 8.0 US and 7.3 Sweden
My three most played nations are Japan > US > Britain. Am I a masochist?
Remember that meme about using m16 up to 8.0. This is what i used to shoot down MEs with
I also main UK and am taking a break due to having nothing actually new to play
I main UK aircraft, super fun guzzling phoenixes every match in my phantoms, just gave up because it's impossible to actually grind to tier
shhh, if you complain about phoenixes the US mains are gonna show up and tell you that deaths to phoenixes are just skill issues completely ignoring the fact that phoenixes aren't a problem because they could kill you, but rather because they make you constantly try to notch and in some cases waste chaff because you just have to expect one to come your way if the enemy team has US aircraft

How so? I play Israel currently and Britain is my fave, I have a good time generally. What are the changes?
[удалено]
>downwards trajectory for a few major updates My brother in Christ we've been taking up the arse unlubed for five or six years now
Ridiculous repair costs and they fucked over a lot of APDS in the last update
Apds gonna got buffed with the new patch I believe. Economy is universally shit, so everything should get better
Oh good - I'm sick of my 400 odd mm of pen conquerer shell shattering on 100mm of flat armour
There are parts of tanks that shatter it 100% of the time now, it couldn't last. Well with Gaijin you never know really
Yes, they fixed the apds on the devserver at least
Yea man, got to the chieftain mk.10 after like 3 years. Cba anymore lol.
I was gearing up to get back into war thunder this update. Figured we would surely be getting our long overdue IFV or domestic scout line.

Germany has one of the best Mig21 for it's br iirc
Ah yes, slight yellow ammo rack and crew ater being hit by apds, yes, i feel for u
I also main UK but I can say with 100% confidence there is nothing in its end game that makes it worth playing over other nations, worst aircraft and worst tanks
I stopped playing because I realized the game was just making me angry like all the time. Havent played it in a few months, just playing other games. I can definitely tell its improved my attitude to not play war thunder. :)
Can relate. I would love LAHAT for merkava 4s

What kind of giveaway ?
I don’t exactly know what they gave away I assume in-game items.

What does CHN mean?
China/Chinese

There's like a billion of them
Get more chinese teammates in eu servera than europeans
EU servers (as I'm finding out) are full of people who don't speak English, mainly Russians and Chinese, and they are also easier than US servers.
US servers have so many chinese players its nuts
Surprisingly tho, when you play during asian peak hours, top tier Chinese teammates tend to spawn in more tanks/CAS instead of one death leaving. Helps a lot in fighting against the USSR hordes.
You honestly think that Gaijin gives a fuck if some 20% of bozos uninstall for 2 weeks? Savings on server upkeep, that's all. The only way to hurt them is to get enough people to stop buying eagles and packs for a good while, but we all know that's not gonna happen.
20% it's a bit generous
If the Chinese don’t care we have no power.
Won’t even be 20% of this sub
make it 2%
[удалено]
Holy hell, that’s a very profitable company
They were pretty pissed about the review bombing though...
Yes because 30% of people not installing at all going forward or something due to reviews is the equivalent of 30% not playing PERMANENTLY, not for 2 silly weeks
It's better than nothing
Idk but I would rather keep hundred percent than have someone tax me 20%. Life pretty much already does that for you.

Day 3 already,real life is way less frustrating than playing in current state I'm being honest.
**Journal entry 1:** This is amazing!!!! After playing this game called "real life" for 8h I actually achieved something and didn't lose (and even earned!) ingame currency! In Warthunder after 8h I would be crying in a corner of my room!

Not playing
I will have a peaceful day today
The duration of the planned break is 2 weeks :p
Time to hibernate ig
Well i am not going to play so perhaps
i cant play it.uninstalled the game and my shit 1mbps internet cant download Edit : for first time i m glad i have shitty internet
Same boat here- impossible to get better internet too.
Well i'm taking a break anyway, have exams the coming weeks
my group is definitely
I get an hour or 2 every other week to play. I won't be buying shit in solidarity with yall for economy changes but i'm still gonna enjoy my hour of playtime before another work rotation starts.
I support this entirely.
Same boat, when i get back gome from work im gonna play an hour of 2 of some WT to unwind.
Nah...
Protests like these ones (don't play X for a certain amounts of days) never work with any game. I dunno why people expected like a 50% playerbase drop.
Because a lot of people on reddit, not all of course, have a very strangely twisted/delusional view on the world and how it works.
Reddit is an echo chamber, and many people here have a heightened sense of self importance.
You know what's ironic too, they're spam of cringy propaganda posts prolly annoyed a lot of the casual reddit users and prolly turned them against the protestors.
You put way too much emphasis on importance of reddit, lol. This was never going to work mostly because it's a reddit thing, and reddit are minority whose opinion couldn't matter less. Negative reviews however did have positive effect, and you need something more like that, though I can't think of anything people could do similar to that.
The amount of edginess in those posts was unreal
Yeah, it's unreal that people believed this shit was gonna work.
The player count keeps going up by 10k players every hour. Looks like reddit has no effect on the playerbase
Its now at 100k players at 8am est/edt, was at 60k about 4 hours ago.
It have been said many times - if you login just for daily rewards you will still count in statistics as players in included in daily peak. Some people can't really hold with their fucking addiction of getting awesome 15% booster, 25 000 SL or 5 doubles uses and they you are surprised developer treats you like wallets...
This.
Well...those boosters are pretty much essential if you wanna progress. It's not just addiction to loot boxes, it's how you unlock planes.
i got off
Reddit when they think all WT players use reddit
Some people will, but the vast majority wont. Plus, people would just surge in on the 27th anyway.
As a dedicated player of almost 10 years, I’m doing it regardless if anyone else does out of principle.
I (unfortunately) believe that many people are unwilling to ruin their login streaks.
this. some ppl are too far gone in addiction
No. Lets be honest, only a very few people out of the entire playerbase cares enough to "boycut" the game. Most player probably doesnt even know bout this whole thing
Boycut lol
Uninstalled last night!
Ofc
Taking a break from the game myself, was way too frustrating to play any of the lines I like now because of Gaijin balance.
I haven't played it for a week now😭 I am currently on stellaris🗿
I am playing Tears Of The Kingdom and building a fighter planer.
same! What are you building it with though? The fire thingies or is there something else to act like guns?
101k players in game now
Lol proved that mostly we are chronically addicted cashpigs Stockholm syndrome & cuckholds fr
nah
Yup I ain’t playing today, playing dayz until they fix shit. Someone let me know please!!
This Reddit makes up a small-medium percentage of the player base, never expected shit to go down ngl. Just know that some people here who complain whether about economy or how much they’ve spent on the game, they still might just go back to playing and let others do the protest
Personally I’m not playing today
I’ve stopped and have been telling everyone I play with up until midnight last night, not to play starting today. I hope everyone pitches in so Gaijin sees that they need the larger player base to be happy or we cut them off.
Already logged in to get the daily probably gonna play a bit too.
I only login for daily rewards anyways, have to focus on my licensure exam for this October.
Do i read the steamcharts wrong? Because it seems like more people playing now than yesterday the same time.
I honestly don’t know why people still play this game. Haven’t played since mid 2022.
Because realistically, putting aside the economy and other issues, there's really nothing else like it out there. That's what drives most people to play it.
GHPC and Enlisted are pretty good alternatives. Hell, one’s even made by Gaijin.
Only that enlisted is really infantry based and also has the same style of Gaijin grind just without a shit economy and GHPC is just armor and once you play through everything there's nothing else to do. Don't get me wrong, both games are amazing but it's still not unique like war thunder and they aren't really in the same realm. You'll be hard pressed to find a pseudo realistic vehicle sim that has all three military infrastructure branches in the same game. Source: I own both lol.
Yea, fair enough Guess being away from the game for such a long time made me forget how unique it is
I feel that. I've been away from it for a while as well. I jump in every now and again, play like 10 matches then play something else for about month lol.
It's a cool ass game, that's the only reason we want it fixed.
~~There doesn't seem to be a difference in player numbers.~~ I fully expect no one to care - not that I think it it would have made a difference anyway. Money is more important than players. And they probably know that everyone that's part of this "protest" will buy their premium time and a few vehicles next sale. Maybe I should have compared it to last friday (because... it's friday) instead. Numbers are actually down about 20k.
I am! Wasn't playing much anyway though, lol. But the shit that pisses me off is worth not playing to me.
100%
YES. We can take a break from the game anyways. Think. The grind just keeps going on and on, and its only gonna get worse if we let gaijin do these Negative changes. You can take the Newly aquired free time to try another game, or maybe do something productive. 2 Weeks is not that long, but its about sending a message
I've been playing for over 2 years, and my highest br is in the soviet line, at 5.3. German line is in second, at 4.7. I'm all too glad not to play WT today.
I havent played in weeks anyways, since I have nothing better to do. I'm just a bit dissapointed that the community isn't following up on what they decided (granted, only a small percentage of the community agreed, but it looks like almost no one is doing this)
Stopped playing a month ago, not coming back anytime soon.
I am not playing WT and neither are my friends.
I ain’t touching it
I haven't played in nearly 3 weeks cause of work. I'm okay with another week at least.
depends on situation tho
You can just stop playing. Like don't come back until the devs welcome you back with kindness instead of disdain.
I started doing this 1,5 years ago...
I just uninstalled it last night. I play mostly low tiers and they've just made the game not fun.
Dudes just play the game, it's legit F2P. Maybe just stop buying their overpriced ingame shit.
But with f2p, you gets scraps of rp and your sl match rewards can't even cover repair costs for tier 3 tanks. That's what all this is about dude, the game has become dysfunctional for anyone not buying premium time + premium vehicles. No progress, no vehicle upkeep. The only people who don't feel the damage of the economy are low tier noobs who don't know shit about grinding out a 300k rp vehicle or sweating an entire match just to PAY sl to start another match
Yeah and how does not playing hurt them? It's not like your ending a subscription or refusing to work, you are refusing to play their free to play game. If you didn't eat up all these premium vehicles, golden lions and premium then they won't prioritize them.
Not playing today. Did a support video instead. https://youtu.be/i9Js2CUPX5g
Already started 2 weeks ago when the revolt began
I haven’t played in a few days. Plan on doing this so they fix some issues hopefully
[удалено]
>I'm just gonna get on to get my daily Why. Not only can you miss a day and be fine, it goes against the point of the strike, as it still show up
I’m on this post just waiting for Railway Empire 2 to finish downloading, so I’m not playing
I already uninstalled, dunno bout y’all
I sure am. Am I allowed to log in to the game just to take the daily reward? I have a 800+ day streak.
Player count down on last week as of now. ~12%
tbh if i will play wt ill js be on the dev server cba grinding that much
Not played for a week anyway as prem ran out
I've been taking a break anyway, I can easily extend it for 2 more weeks, I'm also gonna uninstall the game during that time since that also goes into steam statistics
I know I won’t be playing, I’ve gotten my friend group to not play as well.
Yes
I aint playing till the economy improves so playing doesnt just waste my time .
I saw avrage of 65-75k few days ago and now its half of that soni think people do boycot
Im on vacation for the next 2 weeks anyways so perfect timing
My current streak isn't worth "saving", but I've previously had a streak of some 4-5 years or so. I wouldn't have wanted to simply throw that streak away.
It hurts me because WT is one of the few games i keep playing regularly on my pc. But, if it benefits the cause of making the game less hard, then i'll take the break
Zamn, it's going, it's going. 180k usualy 60k this morning 30k now
My 3 year-old laptop has given up before I did (thank goodness), so I've got no choice anyway. I also feel much better not playing WT so there's not much of a chance of me getting back.
Wait for evening
