Why WT getting only worse?
Is it time for retirement ?

Game every major update become worse, appearing more contradictory things, always something break down and many more.
We all know WT as more likely realistic battle game but is this realistic yet or game comes to invisible health line and more arcade to not push away low skilled players. When you play game in Ground RB and appearing more markers on enemy instead of only showing on mini map position of enemy, when you do not need use binocular to find enemy because your teammates used scout mode or drone to show where exactly enemy is, Gaijin why not add markers by default in RB because it will not change anything, all feelings about any markers out of mini map be alike.
When game stop saving players in case where should be one-shot, why after recent update firing shell straight into T series tanks' carousel from 100m does not provoke explode as before, why this player as nothing happened move tower towards you and one-shot you in place where armor is, why abrams, leopards, T-series can handle 5+ shots receiving ATAMAN in place where should send you to hangar, why shooting straight into cannon does not guaranty to destroy cannon and giving high chance to fire back and destroy you. Why SPAAs can fire missile farther then any open source tells, why missile does not lose energy when fly high and shoot down jets.
Why people always complain about damage on lower BR vehicles, because Gaijin cannot fix this and why they want to fix that, when newbie comes he/she will live longer. What is this your skill now guys, stay behind rock and shoot players who absorbs damage as sponge.
And these all you named Realistic Battle?

Graphic, Sound and Visibility.
WT is 12yo, it has so long lifespan that most of games die, becoming only name in library with memories but WT survived, however Gaijin has not improved graphic, why after 1-2 hours of playing Ground RB on any settings, when you have good sight, your eyes getting tired quickly because in ancient textures quality and forests of bushes you have to strain your sight to only try to see something, visibility of tanks awful as from ground same as from air but in air even worse, playing on high tier ranks you have to use also terrible thermal which accelerate eyes tension what create dilemma: you play without thermal and destroying sight or destroying sight quicker by switching thermal, I do not see such bad situation in other popular games where many more details on maps.
Playing from 3rd person camera when you nearby objects such as trees, buildings, bushes it cut your opportunity to see if you tell me its more realistic so then it is realistically to drive along building or nearby enemy when your cannon get inside models and objects and firing, of course no.
Sound its another big issue, impossible to set setting that way when it sounds good, always you can hear your teammate in 500m away of you but cannot hear enemy coming to you nearby, and this just random situation which you cannot fix because its game and Gaijin should set and fix, not regular player.

Aviation.
I prefer more aviation battle because all terrible maps for ground battle you will not see. However there are also many issues that only push away from game. First of all poor BR balance, recent BR decompression shown Gaijin playing their game only during dev streams on youtube. I am exhausted of it. I want fair battles but its impossible to get in WT because Gaijin does not try to fix, they only nerf sitting in their office thinking players are happy and satisfied. Cool. I will not touch 1-4 ranks because situation there not so bad, problems appearing on 5th and higher ranks. First of all its researching modules, stock jet and fully researched just 2 different vehicles but you should grind stock jet, suffer downtier, is this fair ? I do not think so. Modules are important feature but before need walk through 7 hell circles I rather spend extra time on grinding extra RP for another jet than play on stock but we have no choice.
As I said ,decompression useless 9.0-.9.7 as played against all-aspect missiles as playing now but some jets have 0 countermeasures, where balance? Nowhere. Another hello to F16-A on 12.7 which permanently get in battles to 13.7, all-aspect old missile against newer weaponry such as Fox-3 very objective.
Missiles. After recent major update noticed decreased kill rate of SAHR missiles, Self-destruction and flying missile by own choice not so rare situation (hello MiG23ML andF4S/J). Radar lock also feeling broken or intentionally nerfed.
Gaijin created Small team size, this feature is good, it supposed to fix common downtier issue but it does not work to me, for over 300 battles only several battles with less team size... Funny but only playing 13.7 do not suffer downtier issue and have balance.
Random cannon damage. There is nothing to talk about because name speaking itself.

Maps.
Huge cancer for game, nobody likes new and recent maps. When you play Ground RB or Avia RB you do see irresponsible behaviour to the community.

When gaijin said past year that only 20% pay into WT it created more confusing, every sale we see new and old players with new premium vehicles in matches, 13 from 16 Turms team slowly paddle ground by tracks or 13 from 16 F4-S team bombing bases only in both teams, yes very glibly in game only pay 20% community. Or when brand new premium vehicles selling by 70$ for year and people buy clones but cannot spend time and find workers to make maps for community will love.

In game so many issues but real problems avoiding by introducing clones stretching lifespan of the game, I can say more but it's been said enough and only top of pyramid, I will not wish good for WT because in my opinion its time to close WT and develop from scratches completely new game that cover and fix main issues WT

Hmm I'd wish, but I still have about 6 years minimum to go....

If you think you can't take WT anymore, then stop playing it, problem solved.

If you say same to everyone else and people leave, you gonna sit 5-10 minutes in queue waiting for match on huge map in domination mode without point of interest staying behind rock 20 minutes for 1 kill

leave to where exactly? the only reason gaijin doesnt improve is because they hold monopoly over this genre the only other option is WoT unless theres another armored combat multiplayer game out there that i'm not aware about

I doubt that hundreds of thousands of people would leave just because I say so...

Because they realize they make the same money for doing less work.
Like with many devs its about finding the balance between effort and profit, they want to see how low they can go before its starts affecting player count and profit.

I don't play ground nor top tier air, just Air RB 1.0-9.0, and I'm having a blast for years now.
You're disregarding some good changes that occurred over time.
The positive changes I have noticed over time:
1) Fairer reward distribution. You are less likely to be kill stolen now.
2) Bonuses for skilful play. You get extra rewards for playing well.
3) The graphics of clouds massively improved.
That's just three examples.

There were some negative changes too, like some of my favourite planes getting nerfed. My poor Ki-43 III Otsu lost power to an undocumented report ;_; and Br.693AB2 guns are annoying to aim now.

Except one of the most anticipated changes that was on last years roadmap is the one where if you unlock a toptier vehicle you get a RP bonus for other nations, yet that is turning out to be nothing more than a passive 10% booster for THREE BATTLES A DAY. Gaijin always put 1 foot forward and 2 back.

if this only one of examples I can imagine what you may write about other examples. Perhaps you do not pay enough attention but air maps has nothing with efforts, every time you fly low and look at that polygons that hit into eyes, or on volcanic map where nearby airport just huge triangle, hole in the ground without texture that filled by water. Or on Gollan Heights when you fly and on border of water and sky appearing artefacts and flicking into eyes. Or perhaps should I tell about desert map where flying low you wont see sand hills you crash into because not enough color correction on maps . Yes but sky they improved, to make it complicated for aviation in ground RB.
Environment in every game the most important thing, it means not only draw sky, there is should be harmony among all aspects on maps. How is that possible that for 6 months not enough time to create at least one qualitative map where 70$ tank drives or 70$ jet fly without visual bugs and poor optimization on team's take off.

I don't try to seek for negative points, I just play this game for years and all negatives appearing during gameplay. WT except high quality vehicles models cannot give more. Why people encourage developers for their poor work and think that criticizing its something bad.

10k rp for 6 or 7 kill on ARB is Skillful play reward?

You don't have to play if you don't want to.

Because the vehicles here evolve to more modern and sofisticated places, but literally nothing else in the game does


We are playing quite modern vehicles that look great, yes, but the mechanincs, maps, game modes, and progression is still stuck with a WWII mindset design, and it's a combination that simply doesn't work out well

lol do you guys not have friends to discuss things like this? cause il be honest with you, not a single one of us cares if you play or not sweetheart.

Gaijin has definitely improved the graphics.
