Glorious Leader BVVD Graces us with his presence once again giving us some insights on future content and also his thoughts around Realistic Artillery Mechanics and lasering targets from the ground for CAS aircraft
Yeah the Chinese had the 1933 variant with the early turret. Compared to the 1938 version that they have ingame and is shared with the Soviets. The only difference will be a different turret but it will be nice for it to be correct
Why not use the indirect artillery mechanic not as a top down view, but on the minimap? When you aim up into the sky, the minimap can give you an open circle for where it thinks you will hit. Maybe a 50 to 100 meter open circle on the map? The top down view isnt realistic, so i had this idea. Let me know what everyone thinks of this
I don't believe the WW2 Chinese navy had battleships or even crusiers, so they would top out at rank 3 or so, then jump to 70's or 80's era destroyers. I think for naval, the British need a standard tree ww2 refit battleship with AA and radar. They have so many pre WW1 and WW1 battleships that can not defend themselves from air attack. Make the next 16" battleship rodney or nelson WW2 refit. US heavy crusiers exempt premium ships or event ships and Pittsburgh use 5"25, their secondary batteries are from 1942, adding a reffited USS Wichita would help, for the French a post 1943 US refit Richelieu, The Italians a littorio, Germans a Bismark class. The Russian probably the HMS Royal Sovereign, which was transferred in lieu of italian prize ships, the USSR demanded after Italy's defection.
Why would you add content to a broken gamemode? Naval needs a rework because you have ships with capability to engage mig21 or even 23 at 4.0. And those 4.0s are encouraged to play with 7.0 battle cruisers. Naval is more fucked than air arcade
buddy-lasing could be pretty good, for SB atleast, iirc early version of the tornado (i could be wrong) didnt have a laser designator (or was it a Jaguar?), so a Buccaneer S2B equipped with a laser targetting pod would use its laser designator for the other plane. Which would mean the early jaguar/tornado could get laser guided bombs, and only use them with a buddy
Problem with buddy loading in war thunder is that if someone can laser lock a target then it’s more likely that they’d take out the target instead of let you do it. Unless they add infantry this problem wouldn’t go away but I’d still like it added for those situations where someone’s a drone that has no ammo and they can guide friendly munitions to target while both the drone and aircraft are safe.
I don't understand why a simple "map gets updated to be effectively a rangefinder for SPHs) can't be a thing. All it would need to do is be able to have a ping system to tell a player how far and what direction the player should aim at to lob hell in that direction. Top tier SPHs getting drones to do this would be a bonus because then you could rely on visuals instead of approximate locations by your team.
Did the Asia server vanish from war thunder? I feel like there was a large influx of Asian names and they are always lagging. Not very fun to fight against....The devs should add more servers for everyones sake.
Chinese servers were brought offline so if you see any Chinese names then it’s most likely that that player is using cheats since they also got around the server bans.
Do i remember correctly or did they not merge the chinese client with the global one? I think this happened years ago now and there have been many chinese players since
Legit , we could us a similar mechanic to the tow hook, get close to and spaag and rope it to see what's scanning. Encourages more teamplay. And stuff like the type 81 could recibe a MASSIVE buff that way (type 81missile can extend its missile adquisición range up to 15 km that way)
We don't need a top down artillery mechanic. I'd love to actually use artillery the right way but you don't get to see the target especially WOT style. Of course the SPHs would need to be moved up and have designated spawns like 4 to 5 clicks out. You can use scout marks or drone pings to bracket in shots after you lay the gun and choose the charge.
He forgot to mention the way they manage so many bugs is by Conraire and the crew either ignoring or closing out most of the tickets because they don't want to fix them.
We are at a point in the game, where top BR Ground RB is just Air RB without markers and some tanks, that are getting shit on by planes from the Moons orbit. There's no incentive for players to respawn in SPAA, becouse they either leave after their first vehicle, or respawn in CAS. Killing a plane ing Ground RB also barely gives any rewards, compared to a tank kill, so people just don't give a shit. The more CAS options Gaijin adds (specially without anything reliable to counter it), the less likely that people like me, will play it. Also, since Gaijin actually sells top BR vehicles, the gameplay "up there" has a high chance of just scaring them away from the game entirely.
I can relate, i never played top tier Ground RB due to the already insane CAS spam. This is not tanks anymore. I want tank to tank combat and not to get constantly shit on by planes and helicopters every corner. The highest BR i can have fun is around 10.0.
@@Organic_Chemistry_Junkie Maybe an actual fix for the radars, with some rewards increase for aircraft shot down, would do it as well. Although yes, some new SAMs wouldn't hurt either.
@@FazekasPK True, those are also critically needed. I see (restoratively) buffing the counters as THE solution to all CAS arguments. If you make the counters easy enough & available enough, nobody has the excuse to complain about it anymore, at least not w/o other community members then saying "why aren't you using the counters?" Any response of "but I don't wanna!" instantly results in a "skill issue" response automatically.
Very true, the pantsir is definitely the best AA in the game by far and even then I can get so overwhelmed so fast and have a hard time responding to multiple threats, sometimes there are Genuenly 8 planes up all nuking people who can hardly respond.
I don’t think people want a top-down artillery mechanic. People have asked about and proposed other ways to do this, without the stupid world of tanks mechanics.
South Korea has so many cool and unique vehicles that im surprised they haven't been added yet. We're missing out on so much. Gaijin should stop caring what JP and SK people say and just add South Korea to Japan as it is the smallest ground forces tree
I could see "long range" artillery and SAMs in a separate tech tree tab but they would only be a supporting element that can be called upon like the current artillery strike mechanic. Ideally they would exist on the greater map and could be targeted by counter battery fire or even aircraft.
@@angelnunez6476 Huh? Explain, please. I've long thought that the arty mechanic was dumb and needed new life breathed into it. I always thought we should see off-map arty vehicles with player-grade models for CAS to kill, the caliber of gun scaling up with BR. It'd also be a way to add various arty incapable of direct fire to say "yes, its in the game as an AI."
Aircraft do need new objectives. Most real CAS did not go after tanks directly, but ingame those other objectives do not exist (bunkers, artillery platoons, supply line trucks/trains, etc.).
how can people be so stupid to ask for a top down view for indirect fire? it should use the artillery map for gods sake! with just extra details like the minimum radius required for indirect fire, the angle the cannon has to aim and the time until impact. this way there is no cheating and only the information you get by looking at the map and the scouted enemies! people shouldn't only think about post war when discussing mechanics.
Are they going to update stuff? Yes, but only a handful of chinese trashcans. Meanwhile years of bomber planes still with placeholder cockpits and unfinished models/textures: ._. Are we a joke to you?
So if u want to talk about realistic then why the fuck is the Abrams hole a 1 shot area 😂 that shit like 84mm thick so it would eat the round and yes disable the turret but crew would live not get 1 shot
Hopefully not, we got Hungary now there's no more need for Romania. It has no original vehicles of any kind, they're all copy-paste. Instead, the Hungarian tree should be expanded.
@@Player-stahn you're literally everywhere on youtube whenever someone mentions that Romania should be added to the game. You pretend that you're Brazilian or whatever but it's very clear you're Hungarian. If we're being honest for a second, it's a miracle Hungary made it to the game, given that absolutely everything is copy-paste except for a few low-tier vehicles that could've easily been added as event rewards. I always see you invoking the 44M Tas, conveniently backing away from the fact it was never completed and literally cannot be added to the game.
@@wallachia4797 Mad Romanian nationalist. Hungary simply is a more unique nation worthy of being in the game, the proof being that Hungary is in the game while Romania never will be 😊
@@Player-stahn Romania has one helicopter, a few planes, some destroyers, it only lacks tanks, also romania has unique variants of french and soviet tanks and it's cold war part would bring more potential than hungary, so cope and seethe my guy
Or have the indirect-fire-only machines as the "Artillery Support" players call upon. Have them be worth tickets when killed, and be about as tough to kill as player artillery SPHs are. These would be off-map intentionally for aircraft to kill instead of just player tanks.
I dream of a "God of War" update with Msta-S as the centrepiece. Indirect artillery implemented with artillery and spaa spawn positions on heliport like islands 10-30km out away from the main map.
@@Marder_IFV These are the tech brackets Army Helicopters Aviation Bluewater fleet Coastal fleet My idea is to put the Israeli vehicles here in separate brackets Like: Army Israel Army Helicopters Israel Helicopters Aviation Israel Aviation ... So there would be 3 more research able tech trees in the US tech tree. Keep stuff simple
