so, you just repost what AW already posted?

Hi all,

I wanted to post here a thought of my own regarding this future game..

I have noticed that in the last 1.5 - 2 years [or more], in the game updates there has been no new stuff added [except endless bp tanks], nothing new regarding style, new features or something like this.

The other games have added plenty of new features, but at every update I see corrections of the new BP tanks characteristics, solving "minor" issues and stuff like this.

Last new feature in game as I recall was the soviet MBT shell ejection [or maybe i am wrong]. Anyway, i cannot see in the game new features at all. I only see the same sound [with so much issues], same old maps [some of them], same design in all. I mean, the game is only focusing in developing new Battle Path vehicles, and completely disregards the rest, or we need to wait some more years to see a new feature/improvement in game/tanks/ designs? There are plenty of stuff that can be added in game starting from more customization of vehicles, introducing some events based on old conflicts with tanks, new mechanics, perhaps crew 3D redesign and so on..i am here since 2016, and I was enjoying every update in the last years, but now is different and I do not understand why..Am i the only one complaining about this, and all is working in the good direction or some budget cuts are preventing this game to raise to the top? Lets be serious, the new GHPC started from scratch ~ 3 years ago, and is developing massively. How come that a game that is on the market for more than 8 years cannot bring something to make the player say: "hey, this is a real game improvement and this feature is great"!!!??

Who might want to read this, kindly share your opinions as well, as I want to see also from different perspective what is to be done in this game. [ Easy - uninstall for good and forget about it, or remain thinking that day may come].

Regards to all

dead game just delete the game easy fix )))

go back to your beloved WOT!

Are until year end any plans of improving the sounds or rework graphics in game?

Will be possible to revisit low tiers 3-5 and improve them in terms of visual or to add more options on them?

Will be the old maps ever reworked in 3D?

nice!

Been a while since I wanted to have a list with all my issues with the game, thought this would make for a neat topic on a forum. Don't hesitate to add your own.

Lets start with the only three things I like about the game : PvE mode, lore/story (no matter how bad), new tanks model are quite nice. Aaand thats it?

 

The bad stuff, in no particular order :

1. The awfully constant terrible game balance. Was there a point in time when it was actually decent? And lets not forget the trend of making balance even worse every single time. This game has the worst balancing I have ever witnessed.
2. The garbage sound effects. ALL of them. Really, it's awful. When they introduced new engine sounds, it was only on YOUR vehicle. Others vehicle passing next to you STILL HAVE THE OLD SOUND. That's retarded... I'm not including voice acting or music here though. Although, I am a bit disapointed by the music. WoT garage/loading battle music is still engraved in my mind.
3. Butchered armor layouts. Round is flat! Unless it's eastern stuff!
4. Logic isn't a thing in game. At all. Tons of stuff just doesn't make sense.
5. Insane standardization of ammo/armor/APS/AC RoF. I swear they drew a graph to decide what pen should each tank have on each tier. ALL APS are 360°, EXECPT ONE, because it's strapped to the front of the CV Ghost. It can't work on the side or back here, noooo! Must use logic HERE AND HERE ONLY!
6. No new progression vehicles because "some players will insta grind them". Yeah what about the new players? There are definitively some new players coming in, they don't matter?
7. Our economy is broken ! Anyway, here is SEVENTY millions credits as BP rank rewards! Gold is also kinda easy to get for free when you have most premiums.
8. Bugs not getting fixed. If it's not game breakin', I ain't fixin'! Really though, there a LOT of minor (or not so minor) bugs that have been here for years. Like the explosion sound on Hydra, or the bug that freeze all dialogue after some time. Some people simply have no dialogue in Spec Ops. This bug was reported on the FORUM, hundreds of years ago, and is still here. (It seems performance related though)
9. Bots behavior. It's not good.
10. Not enough devs, not enough ressources. Game can't progress or improve.
11. RAIDS.
12. PvP maps are so bad. Only Desert Crossing is decent, but it's a GLOPS map.... 
13. GLOPS is a big disapointment. It could have been so much more. Nope, devs abandonned it.
14. Graphics and optimisation. Mediocre at best, and I feel I'm too generous.
15. Double tap missiles. Really unnecessary and unbalanced.
16. They don't listen, don't care about anyone.
17. We drive modern vehicles, and yet nothing can accurately shoot on the move.
18. We drive modern vehicles with impressive combat ranges, and yet 400 meters is considered long range in game. Maps are way too small (and terribad).
19. All new vehicles NEED a gimmick.
20. Balance. Again really.
21. Powercreep. Is there any reason to play the Cent 120 honestly? TR-85 VS Type 74? Kornet-EM and Kornet-D1? T-14-152 and 195? VT5 Vs ZTQ-15?
22. Changes that are not on patchnotes. They are WAY TOO MANY OF THEM! If changes aren't even correctly documentaded and transmitted, no wonder game balance is this bad.
23. PTZ-89 and Assaulter being T7 while they should be T6 and T5 respectively. Same with ST1, why T8? T7 would have been enough, there isn't even a T7 vehicle in that line.
24. Dealerless prems. Oh wait! Nice!
25. Arty. Either make it worth it or remove it.
26. Inventory with parts of the same stuff that don't stack together.
27. New changes aren't even tested at all. No really, I weirdly hope so, because if it is.... Oh my...
28. Russian BIAS. I mean... kinda? T-72 being stupid strong (HEAT resistant LFP, 800 damage per HEAT...). 73mm HEAT doing twice the damage it should, Eastern tanks don't have their model butchered, at least not nearly as much as Chieftains and M48s.
29. Commander/Crew skills issues : description isn't complete, filler skills with useless stats, skills straight up not working (those are getting fixed at least) and weird numbers with lots of decimals.
30. A lot of stuff I'am thinking about falls under the "no logic" point. So here we go again.
31. MBTs being blind. Lower VR than the rest for balance sake? Yes. 330m VR? NO. That's awful even in WoT right?
32. Spec Ops coming 1 episode at a time. I did Chap 4 of Apocalypse 4 times in total. I'm tired of Chap 1 and 2.
33. No "reconnect" button when you are disconnected from server. Must restart the whole game.
34. Bad server? My connection isn't good, but a rather unstable 80ms while I am ~600km from the server seems bad. I remember playing other games on servers at similar distances, and my ping was almost never higher than 65. Usually around 55/60ms.
35. That annoying yelling lady on Watchdogs.
36. Sit in a circle to complete that objective. Prevent the enemy from sitting in that other circle for too long. Then sit in that circle over there for 1 minute so you can "evacuate the area"
37. Desert Path is so insanely badly designed, OMG.
38. ERA usually explode in HUGE chunks. Maybe it's how it work IRL, but I doubt it? What would be the point of making small ERA blocks then?
39. Speaking about ERA... The Oplot. The only reason I didn't buy it, is beacause its missing most of its ERA.
40. Griff/STRV/T-15K ACs, as well as Jav/Raybolt missiles being being dependent. The higher your ping, the worse your RoF/Lock on time is. Whyyyy?
41. Scrolling through the vehicle carousel using the mouse wheel not working sometimes. So annoying!
42. "This vehicle's light armor offers basic protection from autocannons and machineguns." Yeah.... About that....
43. Infantry. Mamamia, the infantry! Between not being able to deploy them (door open, then immediately close), the sniper moaning, the AT squad being children that can't even aim at all, and them running INTO you when you get close, or even when you aren't moving at all, they are just really, really annoying!
44. Coaxial MGs that can't elevate or depress, sometimes having barely any elevation at all. We are still waiting the fix.
45. Leclerc not having its .50 cal Coax. Won't change much considering the 3 of them have crazy RoF, but still, gib .50 cal!
46. The time it takes to install an update. IDK about others, but it takes AGES for me.
47. The spawn points on almost all PvE maps. Either our respawn points or the bots spawn points, there are a lot of terrible spawn points.
48. Bots not moving at all, staying where they spawned.
49. Plenty of hitboxes (maybe still on tanks such as the TTB) are bigger than their visual model.
50. Quite a few cap circles need between 1 to 3 additionnal seconds after the timer is complete to actually be considered capped.
51. Physics are awful, collisions are awful.
52. ATGM spam is still very real in PvE.
53. You can shoot through a brick wall with any chemical round, or 2 or 3, but the windows of a car, a wooden bench or other objects will stop everything.

I'll edit the post as more and more things comes to mind.

I'll edit the post as more and more things comes to mind.

You also need to add the following:

very bad texture of the maps that are old [ the very first in the game]

FPS dropping to 20-25 when multiple AI's are firing simultaneous - sound disappear at that time

Garage looks as from a 2000 game and UI settings are useless

ok, seems there are M60A3s with ERA and non Era versions..as TeyKey showed me. thanks for the info!

same here..it's horrible!!

Hi all,

I dont play low tiers very often, but I ve noticed 2 strange things on M60A3:

1. it has a misplaced ERA plate on the left side of the tracks set;

2. tank looks different than the minimised icon, as it has ERA on the turret. Why nobody tried to correct this tank as they struggled with T72 B?

The game would be more realistic if some major corrections of the tanks will be made....Why nobody sees the flaws in this already 6 year game so far?

1. tanks model corrections

2. sounds total overhaul

3. maps total redesign

I feel sorry for this, but the confidence in this game starts fading away month by month..year by year...

happy Holidays to you all!

Hi everybody. I wanted to hear your opinions as well, with regards of your FPS in game.

My actual situation: yesterday evening, in the Plague Spec Ops, at the end of the battle , when all bots were firing simultaneously at me, FPS dropped to 35-40 and the game moved as it was in slow motion.

When I start any PVE battle, at the very beginning - FPS display is: 150-160.

As bots are appearing it dropps to 80-90-100 fps. Is this a normal behaviour?

I have all graphic card drivers updated, set the proper Nvidia Ctrl panel Settings, with Max Performance, Gsync and so on.

Configuration: 

Chip type: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz

Memory: 16384MB RAM

In game all is running on MAX , my settings below:

Screen- Generic PnP Monitor [ how can I change this, if this is not my actual monitor]?

Anti Aliasing - MSAA 2x [ should be changed?]

Vsync - Off

FPS limit in battle - is 200 - as my max rate of the monitor is 240 Hertz

FPS Limit [other] set to 60

Dynamic Scene resolution is set to - off

3D Render Resolution is set to max 1.00

I have created a ticket to Support, provided them all the info requested, router model etc.

Internet Speed in my country is very high, i measured it yesterday as well : Download  933.4 Mb/s, Upload 498.1 Mb/s.

I wonder what is your FPS in PVE when AI's are entering the scene, to know if I have to change smth on my PC, or not.

Thanks for any advice!

Regards all!

Yes, there was performance drop on max settings in 0.33. 

Only thing i can advise is to turn off the windowed mode, it cuts easily 20-40 % of performance and gives unstable FPS too.

There is AW connectivity to Amsterdam, there is TLS session connection to Moscow, and there is world-access public udp port which aw creates (or tries to) on your home router using upnp.

 

Hi dfnce,

Yes , I don't use Windowed mode..it was only for the game settings screenshots..

Thanks and best regards

Hello all,

I wanted to ask you regarding the actual FPS in the game, how much FPS you get during PVP and what settings you have set?

With the max settings set, and a good PC - I only get since last 3 updates [something like this] around 90 in PVP, and some 100 in PVE - but there also not all the time.

Before these major updates, I used to have here also 200-250 fps in game [regardless pvp or pve]

I have 1GB Internet speed from the local internet provider, don't have other issues regarding fps in other games, graphic card driver updated all OK.

 For ex - in wot I used to have up to 200/210 - there all max out settings too.

I tried all the settings possible, installed Nvidia Geforce Experience, but there AW cannot be selected or detected, made speed tests on the actual network connectivity..no change at all..

Any idea what I have to change to get more FPS? 

As mentioned on this PC only MAX Settings were used!

Maybe you can share your opinions as well, so I would know if only on my PC the problem exists , or to other players same issue is present.

Of course any advice is highly appreciated.

Here are the specifications of my PC:

* I use Fullscreen mode - in Screenshots appears  windowed as I made the Screenshots with Sniping Tool.

Thanks for advice and support if possible.

Have a good evening!

Hi,

sorry for being off topic - I have the K1A1 - but I dont see the hydraulic system or what had before..was it a change or smth?

I know that was something like Type 90 or Chally 2 system..am I wrong here? pls reply if you know what to do.

thanks and regards

While I agree that WoT is definitely arcade, I cannot say the same for War Thunder. 

There is a reason why WT's player retention is so poor. Of course, the overwhelming grind is a major factor, but the realistic damage model and relatively complex game mechanics do not lend themselves to a game which is easy to learn or enjoy. Even in "arcade" players will be hull broken and/or one shot in GBs while aircraft are shot down just as easily in ABs (now especially, due to the proliferation of missiles).

I know exactly how much potential AW has. But with a dev team of only ~30 people, they can only do so much.

Believe me, I'd rather postpone the addition of any new vehicles or even delay the launch of a BP if it meant we could get a sound redesign/update. Unfortunately, the majority of the developers working on this game are likely modelers and/or visual designers. Creating new content such as vehicles/lines or a raid/BP ensures a stable playerbase while also potentially attracting/drawing back new/old players alike. This maintains their bottom line and keeps the game afloat.

A sound update would either require a significant period of development or additional training/contract work, while the final result would have little to no additional content or effect on gameplay. I would much rather the team focus their efforts on update 0.33, as it is crucial for balance and consequently the health of the game as a whole. Of course, if Allods has some additional cash/resources to spare, I would love to see them update the sound design of AW.

As much as I'd like to be as optimistic as you are, I'm a realist. Armored Warfare's chance at widespread acclaim and popularity has come and gone. Better sounds effects will likely be welcomed by the existing community, but such an update would fly under the radar of everyone else, much like any other AW update, big or small. It's rather unfortunate, but it's unfortunately true.

While your claim should be valid, at least in principle, then AW should already fall under your umbrella of "realistic or close to realistic sound effects" (even in its current state). 

CS:GO's default weapon sounds are far from realistic, yet they are adequate. In fact, CS sounds are so recognizable not because they are faithful to their original(s), but because they are distinct and different.

Other games such as CoD, Battlefield, R6S and even Arma (which is meant to be an "authentic military sandbox" mind you) follow this same trend. If AW's current sounds are unrealistic, then your criticism should extend to these [very respectable] games/franchises as well. 

Hell, even WoT's stock sounds are quite lackluster, with many tanks and cannons sharing the same sounds. There's a reason why there are so many soundmods (RIP Gnomefather's)...
Note that the WT sound showcase video was also demonstrating revised sounds from the Epic Thunder modpack. 

That being said, I'm pretty sure there is nothing stopping the AW community from adding their own preferred sounds into the game, especially with the unofficial modding capabilities we now possess. However, with the AW community being this small, who knows if someone has the time and/or technical prowess to create a soundpack for AW...

 

War Thunder has the best sound of all online tank games !!

can SS maybe send some info here, if indeed sound issue will also be ever regarded - as most players request this improvement?

I have also started this topic, on this forum and also on the old one AW..seems every time this gets no response whatsoever..

If you search AW on youtube, you can see videos from 2015, with Abrams M1A2 sounding very natural..what as been changed that all sound the same now?

I would be glad if any of the voted Moderators on this channel will reply .

vielen dank SS fuer deine Rueckmeldung.

Regards all!

thanks for explanations..!

Its nice to see they somewhat allows modding.

Speaking of which, is it technically possible to mod sounds? such as crew dialogues?

That would be truly awesome!!!

I would add as future possibly improvements:

add tank barrel circles/stars etc based on player statistics while playing both PVE/PVP;

sound of the engine to be more realistic;

Thank you!

welcome and have fun!

Please help me, the game enters battles in PVE automatically!!

I only see reconnecting as in the image, and find myself in other PVE missions, stuck without exit..simply I cannot do anything

Hi,

While playing PVE battle, i ve noticed some lags in game..after few minutes tank went to a wall and stuck there.

Ping was 130..so no high increases of 500-900 ping. I said, ok, let me shut down the AW engine, restart PC and return to game.

After returning to game, i had the possibility of "rejoin battle". I did rejoin, after displaying the message Reconnecting, instead of allowing me into battle [what remained of it], I entered the menu.

I once again restarted the game, this time does not load more than 88%..so I only see the Black panther image..

I ve run verification and game fix, hoping that would eventually solve the issue.

After this check, i enter the game again.

I discover that I entered in another battle without knowing, but there I cannot do ANYTHING at all.

Anybody knows what Shall I do?

Need help pls.

Please help me, the game enters battles automatically!!

you were right Sir!! i changed the keys to others, and now all is ok again!! thanks for your knowledge!

Hi,

Do you also have this on your in game tank Information display?

Why do I see Backslash and Apostrophe written there?

I ve opened a ticket for AW Support..dont know if somebody from there would bother to investigate..

Yes, War Thunder is far in front regarding the sounds of a proper tank engine!! and everybody enjoys when real sounds are heard from the tank you maneuver..

is sad that in AW i hear the same can sound each time..but i hope one day this will be improved!

Maybe there is a chance to adress this topic to SS [if he is still a game moderator] - I dont use Discord from 1 year and i dont know who's who anymore..
