Thanks!

Seems like a decent patch, the list of changes is pretty impressive.

Lmao, I don't know how hard is to get the new premium M46 Tiger on the crates but I just got it in the first try of the 300GE.

Pd: RNGesus smiled upon me

I take my words back. They took away X2 for the first win of the day. All of their advances in game mechanics and graphics and realism will be of no use if they keep screwing up the game economy and making the grind even harder.

Warning the vampire will now rip its combat flaps over 400 km/h...

Need to confirm 100% though.

I like the update everything is spot on other than getting rid of the x2. but everything else hasnt changed, you were always able to purchase vehicles, lions or research points. they just added the gamble feature towards it but it does seem like they are setting up for something bigger/else to come in that system because as it stands now it is pretty meager at best to make such a change for the limited things available

IMO the p2p model is dying,and quickly. It's basic human nature covered in a semester in Psych 1A,but I'll break it down quickly..
The P2P model insults the intelligent gamer/player and offends them. Many of them,the hardcore gamers who are long-term gamers,will refuse to buy in and thus,after the initial "Newness' of the game wears off,the game fades away or is forced to react in some other way to fix the system. P2P players are not loyal,are usually not very skilled, and in general,are the "arse end' of the gaming world.

The P2P players who do stay,will find themselves with little/no skill and great equipment,dying often,losing just as much.They get furious,cannot understand why they are losing,and find a way to "game' the system to make it work.THIS becomes boring,pwning people w/no effort,and thus,the P2P model dies here as well due to lack of continued support via P2P.

Much of the issue is in the fact that newer generations are used to "Flash in the pan' excitement. "See/WoW-EDM-Etc...' as having been raised in a "new/now/Me" society.They are JUST as used to that in the gaming community.Problem is,it's not the youngsters who KEEP the games going..it's the older,wiser,productive gamers who HAVE expendable income,but only for the correct reasons/usage. We,the older gamers,are outnumbered in #'s by the Youngsters,however We usually outperform the kids merely due to williingness to be part of a 'team" or "Horde" and are usually good to go to sacrifice a personal win/kill for the teams greater good...

in summary-

Youth and exuberance will NEVER over-come Wisdom and Patience. Games will come/go or change as a P2P model,however the "pay once/own it" days will come back,and we'll revert to DLC on the order of 5-20$ range depending on game,etc.

That's the opinion of My P-1A classmastes whom are gamers and span the ages of 19-59!

Hence the "Treasure chests" and "Power-ups" candy for the kiddies and short attention span crowd....

Absolutely Brilliant! One of the key points he brings up is Gaijin's repeated pattern of failing to address obvious problems while making system changes without adequately testing/understanding the gameplay implications/consequences when released to the full user base. Bravo Dannes!

[AOD_B.Rubble]

The mod took to attacking Dannes test parameters,etc rather than try to explain anything of substance. They were "flamed' by the community,and thusly so,for doing this. They chose to challenge the data collection rather than the data. Furthermore,they didn't realize the guy who CREATED the data sheets was the very one speaking,thus,knew wtf He was talking about. It'll be interesting to see if the developers actually take to testing in this manner suggested,rather than willy-nilly enact changes w/out full due process in regards to effect in game. Hell,use the damn cloud power to enact a change on dev server,then run a million games on the computer/cloud. See what effects it has,etc and THEN enact/don't enact. I'm only BARELY in the know on this stuff,but if MY dumb-ass can figure it out,then perhaps the people who do it for a living can? Bueller?Anyone?Bueller?

i REALLY LIKE THE REWARD SYSTEM THEY HAVE BROUGHT IN

Thanks! That's basically my biggest grievance with War Thunder. Not the content of the change. But that changing the game in any fundamental manner from small to big requires a rebalance before release.

I.E. If tomorrow all the planes were magic ponies, the old battle ratings would no longer be valid.

Note combat flaps in RB can now break really easy. Some were breaking at 200 KM/P on some FW190s. Seems Bugged atm.

I lost the combat flaps on MC202 and Wildcat at ~350 km/h. Was it like that before the patch? I don't know because I'm kind of a noob in RB.

No it wasn't.

Still waiting for a 20mm rotocannon for my k-4...(also the new thing with flaps is stupid).
