I'll keep it brief since, let's face it, this is a bare-faced DC grab using tepid drama, but I can personally guarantee there are no s involved which I think would be a nice change of pace.
The Background
War Thunder is a bankruptcy simulator where you pay a snail as much as fifty three fricking pounds for a pretend aeroplane that you watch get torn to shreds by some other dude who paid even more for a better plane (or tank, or even warship if you're one of the three, maybe four people who unironically play warships)
poorcels who can't drop hundreds of good boy points on vehicles have to grind 'silver lions' to unlock anything. With me so far?
The Jewish Trick
In a "democratic" economy change, the developers of this autist trap, claiming that the players wanted it, increased the price for "repairs" (literally the price to use the fricking tank you unlocked or paid for)
the repair cost of the T-80BVM in RB when all modifications are installed will be changed from 3690 to 7405 SL and for the Leopard 2A6 - from 5410 to 8050 SL.
It got even worse for poorcels:
We decided to simplify this mechanics and fixed the free repair time depending on the economy rank of the vehicle
In non-bullshit, this means they doubled the time it takes for a vehicle to repair for free. Did you get sniped out of nowhere by a 10,000 hour esports monkey? Back to the salt mines for twenty hours, pleb.
The 'Drama'
Do not let this distract you from the real issues brothers, we must stay strong. Do not buy anything! x
489 comment sneedpost about reviewbombing (like game devs even notice that shit)
Finally, gaijin can't keep getting away with all this BS anymore. Top tier premiums, way too high and unreasonable repair costs, Drones, heli abusing at 8.3, overpowered premiums (literally selling a whole br range to wallet warriors)
Lmao at 'wallet warriors', poors truly are pathetic. Btw if you grind your way to top tier like this dude, that's like 1,000 hours of your life.
Forum janny gets involved:
I cannot BELIEVE people have a problem with the decision my boss made explicitly to frick them over. SHOCKED.
Please DO NOT mention that these economy changes have already been rolled back, that is dramaphobic and im best friends with the rdrama jannies

They should just make it cosmetic so you can tell exactly who the poorcels are by how many perforations a tank has, and dab on them even harder until itβs just a dude, tears streaming down his face, wearing just his underwear and army helmet on a scuffed platform with wheels without treads and a floating tank cannon apparatus.

Good point but I used to play eve online and never encountered any trains, but that was years ago, some games I think the trains just wont touch. but if they touch its like a virus and they all appear out of nowhere and ruin everything

Even if you could get it for free it would still suck. Having a lot of DLCs just for the sake of having a lot of DLCs doesn't make a game better, it just makes it more complicated.

Both are garbage games but world of tanks has like 10x the playerbase because itβs the game of choice for Russian boomers
and itβs better. War thunder is a game for anime-watching, hyperborean-editing zoomers.Jump in the discussion.

I donβt get why repairs are in the game, just give people less silver lions if they care so much about their free economy and donβt put in a βmechanicβ that prevents them from playing what they want to (especially given the fricking time needed to get to even moderately high ranks)

They killed that game like ten years ago when they introduced the upgrade system (when you unlock a vehicle you get a nerfed version you have to grind upgrades for to reach its supposed real life performance).

Yes. Basically the devs keep making r-slurred decisions which causes so much fury in the neurodivergent user base that it convinced some of its members to throw their lives away sending them classified documents to prove that some tank has such and such turret traverse speed or gun depression
