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

The T-2k as a training aircaft was also equipped with training missiles as was the F-104J in the photos we used to enable it to have 4 Sidewinders. Both were capable of mounting and firing the live missile as was the F-4F.
Training missiles are used as to fire the real thing in training is a waste
This picture is also absolutely relivant because the F-4F in the picture is a German F-4F owned and piloted by Germany In the USA for training.
72-1116 (37 + 06), the same aircraft several years later:
It shows very clearly that the F-4F early wa
We have over 1800 vehicles in game and the F-104S is just one of them. Actual gameplay bugs are far more important.
Feel free to make bug reports with your evidence then if you believe an aircaft is incorrect when tested in simulator under full real conditions, but we are now entirely off topic and this has no meaning or purpose here.
We always aim for the most accurate vehicle performance possible inside of the game with all factors taken account for that this is actually a game. Yes indeed we are not a 1:1 sim
Again however, you can take this
Problems happen only in WT, or in other games?
What are your hardware temperatures? (easiest way to check is to install Afterburner - it got nice on screen display where you can check CPU and GPU temp etc.)
Drops happen on specific conditions, or random (have you tried to play, for example only air battles?)
Please link me to where I said this, because as as explained above it's not what I said.
All we have said on the F-104S is:
1) The singular magazine photo that supposedly shows an AIM-9L is all we currently have to go on. That needs further verification.
2) We don't have all aspect missiles in game for any jets.
It has nothing to do with "too few" F-104S using them and that's never been stated as the reason.
There is a range of aircraft and tanks that have weaponry and shells they never had "in service" in reality. The F-4F is no exceptio
History is one element and there is enough sufficiently backing the ability of the F-4F to use AIM-9J to allow it in game. If we are to limit everything to purely historical armament, in service or ownership, all tanks would have to loose 50% of the shells we have in game and we would have to remove about 50% of the vehicles in game. First and foremost we are a game. Not a 1:1 simulator.
You are correct that the material is very clear on F-4F, in that it can carry the AIM-9E and J. Both its pilot and weaponry manual show it:
1) GAF TO 1F-4F-1 Flight Manual, 15 October
We don't have any material linking the French F-100D to the AIM-9E. Only the US Flight Manual lists AIM-9E. So we would require some sort of source linking the French one to the Missiles for it to be considered by the devs.
For the F-4F, the manual specifically for the German variant lists them both in the pilots manual and weapons manual, as well as the photos of them using them in the USA. So the situation is not the same.
As I have already told you, please make proper bug reports with everything thats required and then it can be passed to the developers to be reviewed if fixes are needed.
I cannot fix an aircraft because you tell me you believe its broken once a week and because you got out turned by a Phantom.
Please make a proper bug report, with your evidence and flight tests and then they can be reviewed.
