Oh, this topic is still ALIVE?
I thought it's dead like War Thunder in eyes of all the wise prophets emerging on forum since 2012
Majority of people who says "game is dying" are Players who get bored with the title and are searching a way to convince themselves to leave the game.
Just to clarify, this is incorrect. We never had 250,000-500,000 players. The highest peak was also not 2015, but actually just last week.
The highest active live player count until last week was last year in 2020 with 121,784: https://warthunder.com/en/news/6675-special-award-for-record-breakers-en
Last week, we hit a new all time record of just over 130,000.
So no, the game is in fact not dying, but actually making new records
Thats because we have this every week without the need to dedicate a whole major update just to bugfixes. Bugfixes are deployed on a near daily basis, fixing the issues players bug report and we also detect in testing. This has been happening for years, just people tend not to actually read, check or even know of the existence of the changelog, hence why we are now having these weekly articles to highlight the many important bug fixes the game actually gets every single week:

Major updates themselves are also packed
Thats not how any game or game development works. No game is every bug free. Every new advancement or change with the game, no matter how big or small can generate a bug. There is no game out there, no matter after however many years can ever eliminate all its bugs.
Once again, this isnt how game development works. Someone who works on maps and missions for example is not going to be the person capable or working on fixing a bug with an aircraft flight model.
You don't hire a plumber when you need an electricians work done. Its the same situation here.
