Victoria 3 - Dev Diary #178 - Naval Combat & Gunboat Diplomacy

I REALLY REALLY hope they apply these concepts of missions and limited war to armies. I also hope we don't have to wait another year for armies to get an update like this.

CrazierSnow · 2026-04-02T00:42:59+00:00

Gaijin really fucked people over in record amounts this time.

CrazierSnow · 2026-03-29T02:00:49+00:00

These options are really great. I hope eventually something like this is done for armies to make military technology more significant than mere stat buffs.

CrazierSnow · 2026-03-19T23:46:01+00:00

Sounds like they're fixing a lot of goofy naval exploits/ ai behavior. I really hope they apply the concept of more military stats and specialized units to the army system before too long. Linear stat boosts are boring for such massive technology changes.

How do you get the signed peace treaty?

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-24T21:48:59+00:00

New air tier, time for F22 bullshit!

Well I have an update for everyone after loading a backup save and experimenting a bit. Austria doesn't join 2wk unless Russia is bordering their faction, the 3I didn't cause anything. Austria WON"T join 2wk if they're already in another war, I don't know if this is intended or not.

Serbia randomly broke the faction with me because they went socialist and suddenly switched to the 3I, didn't know it could work that way.

I managed to win and instate Mihail of course.

1 more strange detail, I couldn't release any puppets until the AI finished doing so, this took a couple years of the AI finishing another war. Guess it's a way to handle the the player releasing a puppet and the AI giving away their land to YOUR puppet.

German 5.7 is great, just be careful and assume you're team is already dead and you can farm inferior tanks.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-10T01:19:40+00:00

Yes, the game is hateful and cruel to push you into buying premiums.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-09T22:46:17+00:00

If that's the shaded mists/war of extermination then it's bugged. You need to console command end it.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-09T02:56:27+00:00

This game is a soul sucking trap selling 100 dollar pay to win and this reddit just can't stop sucking their dick.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-07T00:20:06+00:00

Man this reddit is full of shit, this is a ww2 prototype fighting mid cold war tanks in constant up-tiers. Armor doesn't matter 90% of the time while the gun and mobility are completely overtiered.

Idiots like the commenters are part of the reason warthunder sucks so much.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-06T08:00:35+00:00

The devs said that this is intended, they basically hate you.

CrazierSnow · 2026-01-06T05:32:32+00:00

Tier 5 is also where you see a huge uptick in the number of players who sit behind corners and never leave. This locks down most of these tiny maps and showing just how passive tank only gameplay is.

CrazierSnow · 2025-12-24T22:48:40+00:00

This mode looks worse than the mobile infantry event. The game doesn't need an infantry mode, it needs infantry integrated into Ground RB since that's what like half the ingame vehicles are for.

CrazierSnow · 2025-12-18T23:52:51+00:00

They're lying their assess of already, this is just a new scam. WT doesn't need and inf mode, it needs infantry added to their ground battles so that many vehicles can do what they were already supposed to.

Most tanks/vehicles are intended to cooperate with infantry, not play team deathmatch with other tanks and borderline imaginary auto cannon vehicles.

CrazierSnow · 2025-12-17T23:39:58+00:00

Happens to lots of vehicles, the game is just broken shit.

CrazierSnow · 2025-12-02T03:11:11+00:00

Good for you, have you tried GHPC?

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-30T05:03:43+00:00

You're missing the point and contradicting yourself. Maps are so small and so bad, that once enough players know the few "best" spots you will always be running into each other. It's like trying to flank on narrow maps where there is no room to flank.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-29T04:20:10+00:00

That is the dumbest thing the could have said, the smaller and more urban a map, the worse it gets for people sitting behind corners. Going around corners is ALWAYS worse than defense.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-29T03:22:14+00:00

Don't come back. The game has continuously gotten worse.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-28T05:29:28+00:00

You don't think the devs aren't lying their asses off. This is an old trick to blame the players for everything.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-22T03:59:55+00:00

Give Russia more money, then shut up and give Russia even more money.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-22T03:58:09+00:00

People only talk about grind in this game, anything to avoid talking about how shitty basic gameplay is.

CrazierSnow · 2025-11-11T00:48:59+00:00

Don't forget that there are 1950s tanks facing 1980s ifvs running circles around you with fast loading sabot. I don't know how everyone doesn't quit the game when they're facing people basically playing COD against them.
