Retarded bombs

Hello! Today we will tell you about a new type of weapon that will appear in the game in the next major War Thunder update!

https://warthunder.com/en/news/8253-development-retarded-bombs-en

We have heard You!

Dear players!

The recently proposed economy changes, according to calculations, were on average helpful to players as they reduced the repair costs, and the total amount of Research Points for most vehicles. We wrote more about this in our answers to your questions on the 12th of May and the overall picture is clearly visible in the table sheet with changes. We have been following the feedback closely and we see that whilst some players generally agree with us, we also see that there are players who feel that these changes are not helpful to them. For this reason, we have decided not to implement the economy changes from the 16th of May.

We believe that the game and its changes should create positive emotions and that players’ emotions are more important to us than calculations and numbers. In the future we will try to better explain our actions, and their benefits for players and also encourage you to leave constructive requests and questions in the special form.
