It's because everything so far posted within has already been forwarded. We have already passed on all the points within and also answered the major points with responses from the developers.


Pinging me every week is not going to achieve anything as nothing new is actually being presented or drastically changed for me to resubmit anything.

Perhaps I didn't explain that properly.


You are more than welcome to express your personal opinions, feedback and constructive ideas. What im asking is that you please dont ping me week in week out if its just going to be spam and not an actual new suggestion, idea or new factor. Im a Community Manager, not a developer, so pinging me over and over again with the exact same point you have already made and ive already responded too is going to achieve nothing except eventually, should it persist end with this topic getting a temporary lock and cooldown period to remind everyone of the forum rules, which nobody wants to do. Several other members have already pointed out to you that tagging me every week with the same line is pointless and achieves nothing (if anything actually hurts the matter as im more likely to start ignoring spam notifications and not take them seriously). There is nothing I can do with it at all.


If you wish to present new ideas and suggestions, then yes of course. Please feel free to tag me or shoot me a PM.


However for example, this:




Is spam under the forum rules:



I do not need to be reminded of this topics existence every week. Im well aware of it and your point of view on matters.


All of us Community Managers sweep the forums and everywhere else every day, as do some of the developers. Indeed, when there are new ideas or questions, tagging us is exactly the point. But tagging me to remind me of a topic that I have already explained has been forwarded with nothing new being presented from you week in week out leaves me nothing to actually pass along and thus nothing happens.


Im well aware of this topic and others in this section and all sections. Once or twice now and then a notification is not a problem. However when its very clearly as above and as you said your "Still gonna do it" dispute others and now myself explaining why its not a good idea, please take this as an official warning now not too. We are tagged all the time daily and sent lots of PMs that we often miss due to tags being misused or spammed. So others with genuine questions or messages get missed at the expense of a tag for a waste of time. Please do not do that. Thats why we have the forum rule.


Anyway, with that out of the way. On this matter:


Other than this topic, I have not seen any full suggestions on paint specifically for the vehicles in question in this topic. So if you have more cosmetic suggestions, its best to submit them as suggestion topics so we can pass them for review.



All of the answers I gave you come from the developers. Thats were we get all of our information from and pass it to you guys.



We have already said these are possible for the future. But we dont plan to add them immediately.



This is also entirely false. There have been many changes over the games history where we very clearly do listen to feedback and change both our plans and backtrack on decisions and changes. A clear example would be: https://warthunder.com/en/news/5556-development-vehicle-modification-upgrades-updated-en but there are many others such as FPE/Parts and countless others of all sizes and scales like the H8K2/3 to name but a few.


This has nothing to do with "ego" or an unwillingness to change.


I have already explained several times why things wont change at the moment in terms of your desired outcome which is mostly around flat out removal.


1) These tanks were added for a reason. To fill gaps, boost lineups, smooth progression and make the lower ranks and Italy more stable and attractive. They achieved this.

2) Removing these tanks is counterproductive and leaves us with the exact same factor that lead to their introduction in the first place.

3) The German vehicles proposed were already known to the developers and they have some plans and ideas for these, but not immediately and they wont come with the removal of these tanks.

4) As already pointed out, people still keep suggesting these types of machines and you yourself submitted the suggestions for some of these vehicles to begin with. As I have said many times before, the developers view these forums and everywhere else too even without the things we forward to them. So more often than not, they check suggestions themselves and even see the ones not passed for consideration and they could be splipped into plans.



Nobody's asking you to. Im asking you cease the spamming of notifications and keep things constructive rather than make all staff members step back from this subject as we cannot help or do anything at all with aimless spam.


Thanks
