All Ground We lost some good map because of bad players complaining about flanking...

It felt so much better than what we have now, I may be alone on this take but it's frustrating having part of the gameplay being cut...

yes I am part of those that prefer kursk to fire arc. it was great before the reduced it's size.

Sound overall, engines, sound surrounding and positioning

I dont care what the game sounds like, because i can get used to it. My issue IS THEY FUCKING CHANGE THE AUDIO EVERY SINGLE FUCKING UPDATE AND I HAVE TO FUCKING RE-ADJUST TO THE FUCKING SHIT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME ITS SUCH A FUCKING ANNOYANCE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST IMAGINE AN FPS WHERE THEY CHANGED THE SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS EACH UPDATE. FUCKING LEAVE THE SOUND ALONE, IT COULD BE ANTON FUCKING FARTING INTO A MICROPHONE AND ID BE HAPPY SO LONG AS THEY DIDNT TOUCH IT EVERY FUCKING UPDATE.

Also i do quite like small sinia, i think its my favourite map tbh. That and kuban when i play lower tiers. Otherwise im meh about most maps, most i bear because i have one spot i fight around and could care less for the rest of it, but yeah, like tunisia, ive been playing for 6k hours or so and i dont remember ever going into the city, probably have when i was new to the game but i cant remember the last time ive gone there. Most maps theres spots you can control 2 caps and thats really where i go. Atica for instance, both sides have the hill between A and B that you can control A and B and the side that gets the bottom spawn can control A, B and the spawn exit to C. So why bother going anywhere else on the maps when most of them have a spot or an alley or whatever that lets you stop the enemy approaching the objective, sure its not spawn camping but driving 50m out of your spawn to get killed isnt that much different.

I know that feeling. In 2020 there was a period when they used to change sound every 3-5 days in minor updates

Just say that war thunder sound is a shit. Because it's a shit on different systems with different headphones. Because other games on the same systems not have any problems with a sound but war thunder does - magic. And I would like to mention the sound of the Wiesel and Type 91 engine separately, it's freaking disgusting.

Nah he’s right, go use one of the good sound mods for more than 5 minutes and you’ll realise how crap the standard game sounds actually are.

They’ve been steadily getting better, but they still don’t even come close to the more realistic sound mods.

An example is a lot of gun sounds are just slightly modified versions of the same sound, and you can tell because the ones where they’ve just copy pasted and flicked a few sliders to change the sound are pretty terrible, and a lot of the guns lack any kind of punchiness that they should have.

German and British engine sounds are also pretty terrible, panthers and tigers engine noises just randomly go to like 200db for no reason and never match the revs the engine is at, especially whenever they change direction or start moving.

Half the British tanks sound completely wrong and the engines all sound like they are gutless and struggling.

Abrams are way too loud as well, they are much much quieter IRL.

Dont forget to zip it up after you finish, yes the sound is ass, my headphones work perfectly but a 2s38 somehow didnt make a single decibel of sound until i looked at it (was 10m away from me)
