Research Changes Postponed & BR Changes Incoming - Developer Insights - War Thunder 

the research changes being postponed rly smells bad, it should not be a big thing to add but it looks like they don't want to ease our grind

the internal modules actually look really really cool

How tf can they postpone one of the most wanted features again....

No way, update that helps with grind is delayed again! Whou could have seen that coming huh, spat in the face again

Please, G-d, if you shoot someone in the radio set, they can't spam radio in chat...

Shooting the tea boiler on British tanks make the crew instantly die

For the 2s38 it looks like the ammo rack has become alot bigger and changed a little

I am so happy for that br separation. Also having played a bit of 8.7 soviets lately, getting my cranium caved in match after match by A4's and Alpha Jets is getting so absurdly tiring.

They say they can't balance Hellfire on a plane, but adding Vikhrs and Kh-38 to Su-25 is just fine. Gaijin doesn't even hide Russian bias anymore.

I left a comment advocating for new changes to disabling mechanics with the addition on new interior modules. Such as taking out the radio disabling scouting / minimap functions or taking out gunner/comm sights disabling thermals etc.

i still don't understand why destroying gunner/commander sight don't prevent players to use binocular/sight view

When that first roadmap came out the research part was the one I was the most interested in. Sad seeing it get kicked down the road every time we reach the deadline.

I think this is actually a really positive thing. It gives us more insight into a previously steel curtained dev team. Now, at least with some things, we may get actual progress reports instead of just losing them to the void. Obviously, giving us updates on every little thing might be a bit much, but I like the way they’ve structured this first iteration.

Bruh delayed AGAIN? at this rate ill have 3 nations with rank 8 vehicles before any bonus comes.

Hitting the control panels should make the turret spin out of control lol

I started playing a couple months ago now I played long time ago but going through the planes absolutely horrendous with battle rating. I feel like they are not matched correctly at all tbh😂

What is the research change they wanna do? Is it when researching one vehicle in one nation it helps on copy paste ones for other nations?

I would really like too see effects on your tank if the optics get destoyed. Would make the explosive tank granade more worth and they should add the possibility to disable the autoload of tank granades. It would make sim so much better.

A max 4 player co-op PVE mode would be cool

So they can in 1 month create new models for vehicles but need the reunion of the full United Nations to increment RP depending on vehicles unlocked and cap the max players per battler to 8v8 for example?

16:50 I used to be this guy, but naval has grown on me alot, it does take more time to get used to/enjoy than ground. Ground was in the game beforehand and more approachable than naval imo. Has there been any players who play alot of naval and haven’t touched ground? Probably but they’d be very rare imo

hitting something like the radio should make it so you don't get minimap updates in RB and delayed minimap updates in AB hitting the things that look like batteries should to the obvious and start the process of draining the battery if a tank has a autoloader hitting it should work like hitting the loader of any other tank hitting radars should disable them hitting optics should disable scope zoom and laser range find if they have one same with hitting there other things that could have added functionality

I notice how after the f14b the is a grey arrow rather than a red arrow. Maybe f18?

Do you think they are postponing the naval event due to a large amount of naval content in the next major update?

They say the next event vehicle is going to be a ground vehicle and people were "expecting a naval vehicle", but Smin said in the posts under the recent event Yak-3 said it wasn't part of the event cycle "This particular event is outside of the new schedule." I assume they're talking about the next event cycle vehicle? They're about as clear as mud on everything they do. So far only the first event tank was remotely interesting and everything else was extremely lackluster.

I’d like the update that stops the random CTDs that still occur.

CAS is the main problem in my mind. Not enough aa, helicopters stay off map and use atgm. If I die by heli off map I quit the match. No sense spending more to repair when I have no chance to kill the helicopter.

in before the 2s3m internal changes only give it t34 driver hatch syndrome

We need more fun gamemodes

Of course the number one thing I wanted most out of the original roadmap is the one that keeps getting delayed :/

I see no problem or discontinuity with crewmembers healing themselves when, if the commander and loader are killed the gunner both operates the turret AND loads the gun at the same time.

From the sounds of it, the idea of this new format came front the CM’s.

I've said it before and ill say it again any thing that might make the grind easier or actually help the community will be pushed back time and time again until the community forgets they ever promised it and they will instead continue to add more premiums and build events that require you to play 12+ hours a day

odly enough with the 2s38 i get front penned all the time so i think its fine as is but more balancing in general for ifv is very welcome

"Separation of Battleratings per Game Mode" yes please

i just want RB EC

Man if only darkflow would be this communicative about what they're doing with enlisted

Internal modules is fine but why after all this years still hitting roadwheels on tanks do nothing... As for air battles... the maps sux copy paste pattern... you could think of better objective just flying over map. The 16vs16 is only one issue in Air.

**IF ALL GOES WELL** it will be released before the next major update.

does separation of battle ratings mean decreasing BR compression?

Me personally I would like to just play a couple of countries I'm not much into playing every vehicle that they have no matter what country . so that being said and on your thing that you talked about modules I noticed on some of of damage from other vehicles especially small caliber machine guns taken out a tank which seems be kind of stupid because it is.

A ranked mode is needed

Your awesome dude and awesome video be safe out there big fan war thunder

anyone know what the next ground vehicle will be ?

they need to make it so if you break the gunner sights of a tank you cant aim and need to repair it

played 9.3 german getting uptierd 9/10 games to 10.3 .... researched the Leo 2A4 to have at least one vehicle in that bracket.... only to get uptierd to 11.0 and 11.3 in 8/10 games....

Sad that no naval event will come next😢

You know what, at first I was worried about this new schedule of events, but as someone that's been pretty burnt out on the game for a while now, and tends to like playing Naval when I am in the mood to play WT nowadays (yes, we do exist, believe it or not 😘)... It is really nice to have all this extra time away from the game to do other things, without suffering from any of that nasty FOMO I used to in the past 😂💩 Gaijin's decision to skip the Naval event, followed by a month break (still not convinced they're going to have a summer event this year) is a blessing in disguise, though I have a feeling it's one that was unintentional on their part 🙃

I haven’t play naval in years but I don’t have a high rank for it probably rank 2 max 😅

I love naval tbh just for the vehicles really, Or for grinding SL, but the Baden was honestly a dog water vehicle that could have rather gone into the Tech Tree.

Gaijin needs to move the ud to 10.7 its logical because its better than the BV but slightly worse than the U

Funny they have time to degrade bonus and researchpoints in every small patch, but not the other way around in a big update...

Gaijin as a company fucking sucks lol, its seriously just disappointment after disappointment

With that they've done to Abrams DU stuff, I think player community dont believe no more and no longer trust on gaijin "taking our feedback" through out the forums. No longer believe gaijin will take players' feedback any seriously, gaijin will just do whatever they want untill next boycot event begings

The puma is more survivable than the 2s38. However the gun on the 2s38 is very hard to knock out. I have both and survive way more in the puma, but ive sent so many darts through yhe breach of 2s38s for no effect and ive taken so many darts to the breach in my 2s38 for no dmagage. Something is buggy there.

Will at least they mentioned the amount of people in air battles, at lower tiers 16 v16 actually does make sense because everyone's in a propeller-driven aircraft however at top tier 16v 16 at top tier jets which are travelling at Mach 1 and a firing he seeking missiles and radar guided missiles and soon to be fox 3 missiles 16v 16 top tier aircraft just doesn't work. Which is why I've always said that a 6V6 match at top tier air would be better because it would give you some breathing room and it would actually limit the amount of team killing, I mean I can't say how many times I've seen people fire their missile into a furball and that missile just goes for a friendly aircraft, so yeah I would say they should still lower it to 6V6 at top tier. However if gaijin increased the amount of people at top tier air then effectively they've just killed top tier aircraft because you've got more people shooting missiles at you you got more allies shooting missiles and their missiles could possibly hit you and on top of that it would lead to more frustration because the matches would be horribly unbalanced and I don't think anyone wants that

idk why people dont mention that when u add 10-20 vehicles over years, more ranks and BR u might as well make the grind easier. They are usually doubling the grind. for context I have both premium time and premium vehicles and it still can be insane. Sweden got lots of new vehicles and now the grind was doubled for me not made easier even those technically they introduced new stuff like bonus RP for more kills. Game is getting bigger but grind isn't staying the same. U cant keep going like this, It was already bad, they should make sure that it takes the same or less time to research vehicles not making it so much longer. It is about time at this point not money. Grind is insane in War Thunder. even if u grind one nation fully there are many more nations where u def need prem vehicles which is even more insane, people spend more money in this game than any other game. Single premium is more expensive than a brand new game on Steam. Gaijin and Player base has no shame, grind should be made easier. The more they "decompress" the worse the grind. if they improve the grind a little after decompression it barely stays the same. they are very disgusting. Gaijin also capped RP gains in Sim battles both ground and Air and it is really bad.

No Market for console. Unlikely heavy amount of Australian content inbound. It will take over 100 years for Australia to get most of its stuff added at the current rate of addition. Having played up to top tier in multiple trees already, I am starting to wonder if I'll just lose interest in the game at some point in the near future.

I am still going nuts without the devblogs

of course the research changes are pushed back, they just hope we forget. I hope Gaijin gets competition soon, this monopoly needs to crumble!

Player: move up the 2s38 Gaijin: what you want to nerd the puma said no more 2s38💵💵💵🗿

I think il stick with my information coming from TEC. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Destroying a radio should disable a player's access to comms and info on the minimap.

Where can i find this page? Where is the link?

Like all they nead to do is nothing fancy all they nead to do is lower all RP on ranks 5+ and God helps the 400k mark at the end IMO thats what holding this game back edit-and ofc add more AA gun with proxy with AA misl something like that is hard neade

How many times have they postponed research changes now? Yeah it really looks like they just don’t want to make the grind any easier. More money is more money i guess :(

My dude YOU yourself said "More info is allways better", now it's the opposite. What is it now? Explain your logic, please

Cant wait to fire 155mm HE on tanks and still dont do anything at all to them :)

Secrik soviet modules eating multiple shells and sending them to the shadow realm!

Oh research changes pushed back again... what are they learning from star citizen 😡

Tbh 16v16 is worse at prop brs than top tier

In my personal experience, i love 8.0(besides vidars and gepards). I only play the Russian tech tree, the 8.0 setup i use- shilka, 906, bmp1, mi 4, mig 15bis ish.

WHERE IS THE LINK?

Pls PVO 11.0 !!!

We all need to stop playing the game until they add the research changes

bro there is a 100 useless links in your bio but not source

Shocker theyve delayed research changes again. Glad i stopped playing.

I only have 150hrs put into this game, but people and Gaijin are obnoxious as hell. You can easily see what the problems with this game are, if you played any competitive FPS game before. However, Gaijin does not focus on fixing those issues, despite them being mentioned over and over again on forums or in game chat. Instead let us add more modules which will in all certainty start eating shells leading to more frustrating moments. Self healing crew members is also something which I am scared to see how Gaijin implements this as it can be game breaking mechanic. What are main problems of the game for me? It's not the grind. Sure it takes time, but I am in no rush to play top-tier anytime soon as it's home ground of... Cheaters and hackers (W.T.C.S. channel has info on that matter). Problem nr 1: CAS. CAS spawn cost is too low leading to absurd situation where 3 minutes into game you can have 4 enemy planes spawning in. Ground doesn't even have comprehensive way to deal with CAS, so people just die and most quit after 1 death. SPAA range is not good enough to deal with bombers like Pe-8 or Lancaster who can just bomb from space. I am not even gonna mention CAS spawn killing. Solution: increasing plane spawn cost, limiting CAS to 2 planes max per team at any given moment, having proper AAA in base so spawn killing by planes is impossible. Problem nr 2: Horrid map design encouraging blitzkrieg tactics leading to fast spawn camping. Most maps also give opportunity to directly spawn kill. The disorganized teams will die out quickly. Randomizing capture points would be quite nice option to have. As for spawn camping, there is nothing you can do about this as solutions would be frustrating either way, like closing off bases with domes or punishing spawn campers. Problem nr 3: Volumetric hell. This is one of those things, sometimes you will one shoot target, but another time, same exact shot, will do nothing. The inconsistency in this game is astounding. Plus modules/tank parts eating shells for breakfast is nothing new (fuel tanks, driver hatches, radios?, mantlets, etc.). Problem nr 4 (not fixed till now): game engine issues with popping in textures and LOD issues in general when low poly models turn into high poly models (currently visible with trees and bushes). I mean, those are only few of the top of my head. There would probably be a lot more if I played this game for 1000+ hrs.

Eh oop Buggerlugs!

17:34 You can hear the pain in his voice right there.

Yuh

The tiger 2 105 and panther 2 needs to go back to 6.7 they don't belong at 7.0

That’s funny you mention the Mig-17 vs a Skyhawk because I had that exact fight with me in the Skyhawk (Israeli A-4E(M)) and I had no flight performance upgrades and he had all the advantages in the world went into the fight with good energy and made him overshoot and he would just go vertical every time I did this about 6 times and there was no way I could go vertical with him I even got a shot into him on one of them put a 30mm into his wing “HIT” seriously!!!! So not surprisingly I lost the fight

Honestly y'all aren't devs and can't judge if something is actually that hard to program. Also bugs, if things aren't done the right way, can come up and it could even mess up the normal grind, maybe even lowering the RP you get bc it's not well tested. In the last updates they added things to the game that have had a massive impact and it required more attention compared to other stuff. Constant negativity won't help anybody and the devs actively make the game better with all of the bugfixes and QoL changes, it's normal that a community manager can't give you any dates and specific info about something that is being discussed and looked into.

Shit still the 2s38 dominating mbts frontaly at 9.0 and up. Still light being more survivable then actual mediums or mbts. And still as if it will ever be fixed is cas wrecking ground rb. "Ground" rb.

btw they are nerfing premium jets: MiG-23ML - twice: sustain turn rate and max g load on a swept out wing, MiG-21 Lazur M and J35XS. Now we will have to buy new rank 8 premium jets to replace them.

Rest in peace 2S38

8:15 the 2S38 will have spall liner???

Once you realize that gaijin devs literally do not give 1 single shit if the game is good, as long as it incentivizes people spending money on premiums, you will have your sanity back. I play 1-2 games every few days, i stopped caring because they dont care. I spend more time and have more fun TKing russian Ka-50s and Su-25s with my ozelot (because fuck ruzzian mains) than i do actually playing the game correctly.

The more the merrier !

So instead of learning weak spots of vehicles you have to go against, people complain about it online? Wow what a world we live in
