But I feel that a “new” game mode is a good way to implement changes which are perhaps needed to a game with near 10 year old mechanics without pissing people off by changing the whole game and implementing changes into the old game mode

I understand people don’t like change, trust me I don’t, I made numerous posts about my hatred for 6.0. I’m also a huge fan of the fact that even if a tank is not detected you can still see their tank, I feel it’s a step in the right direction for the game as the old spotting mechanics alone I feel are outdated at this point I have to give them credit for that, I like the new war thunder-esq feel to them, I feel they’ll suit the new tanks well.

However I do find the game mode and new maps to be fun. But what did we honestly expect, in my near 7 years on WoT one thing I’ve learnt is wargaming love money, the silver costs didn’t surprise me in the slightest Secondly one big criticism I do agree with is the sheer ridiculous silver costs, I won’t argue with that, it’s ridiculous and wargaming, you fucked up there. Balance changes simply couldn’t keep up with the rate of the influx of tanks This is something we saw happen lots in the main game due to a new premium tank dropping every 2 bloody weeks. Have people forgotten that when the base game dropped there were only 3 nations? More tanks will be added in time and I personally would rather they took their time with it to avoid to many balance issues. So don’t get me wrong I understand people slagging off the fact that it’s all the same tanks fighting eachother as there isn’t much variety but give it a week and people will probably have at least 3 tanks each from the first era which will on its own increase variety in battles immensly. Since then I really did leave the game, didn’t play until yesterday as I thought I’d hop on and give this new “Cold War” game mode a tryĪnd whilst I love to have a good old fashioned rant at how out of touch wargaming can be and how plain stupid they are at times, I actually disagree with the amount of hatred this new mode is getting I have multiple posts still on this sub Reddit of me perhaps going a little overboard and ranting about how much I hated update 6.0 when it was dropped

So before I get started, I just want to clarify that when wargaming piss me off, I’ll shout and scream about it.
