Battlepass - is terrible. Lets be honest though, they were/are all trash since the first 2. They give less and less with each pass. First they time gated the challenges so you couldnt complete them. Then they made the challenges increasingly harder and more ridiculous to pull off. Then they made it so you couldnt sell what you got on the marketplace unless you got VERY HIGH in the BP, way past the rewards. Now they are giving 1 less vehicle. Its like they dont want you to finish the battlepass which defeats the whole point of a battlepass. A BP is something to get players to log in daily to your game. In turn they complete some tasks and get some stuff. At this point gaijin just wants you to give them 20 bucks and tell you to ♥♥♥♥ off with how much they give you. Someone needs to explain to Russians what a battlepass is. They probably just think its free money for them. At this point they want to give you AI made decals, and copy/paste vehicles for your money. Dont let these lazy, greedy devs get away with this garbage tier development. Remember 99% of all battlepasses in existence give away in game currency as part of the pass to make up for the cost. WT treats their Golden Eagles as a sacred source and refuses to give any of it out at any time for free, even if you buy the battlepass. They think giving you 100k silver eagles a handful of times makes up for the lack of GE in the BP lol. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THE BATTLEPASS IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Ground RB Economy - Painfully slow. To slow. Needs more improvement. Get 10-12 kills and you might get 8k RP if your lucky. Thats with premium and a premium vehicle. How pathetic is that. Without premium and premium vehicle your looking at a cool 4k RP.

RP bonuses for high ranks - The system they announced might as well not even be put in. In fact reading it you half expect it to cost GE just like the "research bonus" points you get. Remember they used to give us x2 and x5 bonuses for free back in the day for a few rounds. This system just replaces that but makes it harder to get, and is less of a reward. They really do go out of their way to strangle any gains they give you in this game. Greed and Laziness. People waited months for this announcement only to once again be fooled by Gaijin Developer greed.

Air RB EC - People have wanted this game mode for years. They wont bring it back because they are scared people will "earn" to much RP/SL. Its not about how much fun you might have. Its about how much you might earn and not have to give them any $$$ because of it. Again the greed goes far with these developers. They only know greed. 10+ years and barely any map changes and zero game mode changes.

Censorship - This could have all been avoided if the official warthunder forums mods were not so ban/censor happy. I dont know if any of you have been to the official forums lately but if you post any feedback that is considered negative it will be deleted and your forum account will be banned. Review bombing would not be a thing if this didnt exist. People would simple make posts with feedback, but they cant because they get banned. What can they do? The next best thing and review bomb on steam. If WT was not on steam there would be nothing anyone could do to spark a change because of how much censorship is on those forums. But because they are on steam it gives people a platform to use their voice without being banned instantly. Fact is Gaijin created the review bombing problem themselves with how they censor their forums. They have no one to blame but themselves and their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy mods. What ever changed in the last year needs to be reversed and new mods hired with old mods fired.

Well worth your time. I torrented this game originally then enjoyed it so much that i decided to buy it and play through again. Although the devs made some annoying gameplay decisions, mods help make the game more player friendly.
