At least it wasn’t a classified document leak, I guess?

          They moved to Hungary years ago, most of the devs are from there now. People still claim “russian bias” cause a lot of russian vehicles have volumetric modeling, which sometimes just eats shots, but now a LOT of other tanks from other nations have that as well.

            Do they still force users to seed the client files with their own connection? Because the one time I tried Warthunder, I was appalled both by the fact that the Gaijin agent did that, and by how unnecessarily difficult it was to remove.

              Nope, I get all my files through Steam now. Although, I haven’t actually seriously played in years, I’ve opened the game a few times every update to see the new things.

    My angle for intetpreting this is that you actually have to provide documented, physical, on the ground evidence in order to even stand a chance at overcoming the Russian Bias / Stalinium bullshit that Gaijin so often engages in.

      To be fair, a lot of tanks from other nations have now the exact same bullshit volumetric modeling a lot of soviet tanks have, so… mild win, I guess?

        Gajin usually uses official public sources where possible, assuming that they are correct, and all tanks were made to spec, which is fair for praticality but maybe sometimes the spec was a suggestion, and sometimes the “spec” wasnt so real and was a carefully planted lie

        Reports from oposite intelegence agencies are probably more likely to have less lies but at same time are usually top secret and have way less concrete info to work on

        And there is also wear and tear, lack of maintaince, unproper storage, maybe the steel just got a bit rusty

          I mean, they say they do, but the stats that are displayed on the vehicles infocards in game are very often just not the actual stats they actually use, in the game.

          Like, people have tested this.

          Many of the stat readouts are just wrong.

          It is good though that you bring up that yeah, they’re orienented around ‘stated’ specs, which… very often do not actually reflect what was actually constructed.

    Isn’t this the game where people kept leaking the specs of military vehicles to try to make them more game accurate?

    No joke, this is actually how I realized UFOlogy was bullshit, no one was leaking anything on aliens to make X-COM better.

    Real things are real
