Greetings, glory readers, of our red (and glory too) newspaper.

Today, we decided to continue our seria of Global Project: “War Module Opinion”.
We ask you to realize, that this initiative has no goal to criticize game administration, or smth else like this.
We only try to show  all vnations community HOW IMPORTANT FOR GAMES LIKE THIS TO HAVE EASY FOR UNDERSTANDING AND non-TIME CONSUMING WAR MODULE.

Today, the next part of asks: Why do I not like current WM.
It is glad to see new respondents in our research, so, we see, that this problem is very important for whole VNATIONS COMMUNITY.

The idea is not bad but it is require a lot of time. Many people bore to hit-rush etc every some seconds.
I am not an active player. I am "2" clicker so i can't say what is the biggest problem. Maybe not only the round system but all the wm can't attract people. Wars with many rules(you can't fight if you are not in a region which at least border with the region battle etc), very expensive etc.
Maybe it is not (only) the wm..economy module is quite complex for the players(or for a new player).
Sorry i can't help you more.

Boring, time-costly

The only reason i dislike round based WM is it takes much time. To participate in important battle i should sit few hours front computer and click a button one time in five second. So a schoolboy with a hours of free time can make much more than somebody who can spend one or two hours a day maximum. This is foolishly.

too much time consumption; rounds are too short; tanks and air support is generally useless

Extremely time consuming. Because I have a family, work, friends and hobbies outside of computing, this is a big problem for me.
Useless for the inexperienced, beginner players.
Tank \ Jet system is useless at this stage of the game. Requires a rich and populous countries.

1. Boring 
2. Useless 2clickers and tanks/jets
3. Significant time consumption for active players
4. Primitive strategy

- its harsh on the 2-clicker part of the community;
- its underdeveloped as jets and tanks are useless unless you want +10% more meters from the rush you can make 5 times per round.
- Its TIMECONSUMPTION is unbelievable.

u have to spend much time on battles, its very hard to understand the mechanics of it, if u are beginneer, and it requires a lot of communication with the other players on your side.

It is more dynamic than old system, but yet you have to stay on bf for too long, because wins who clicks more, and to click more you have to stay longer. There is a limit, ok, but we don't have enough population(like FG) to be sure that everytime there will be someone clicking.
But when there is a real confront, with jets, tanks and balanced troops, it is exciting.
This WM works good for a big population, but we won't have big population without a good WM for small populations too.

  Preparation Phase is unnecessary wasted internet time.. why is this needed? It's boring and non productive and I see no reason for it to exist?
   Graphic of WM is abysmal.. very poor little avatar squares only.. no sense of being in a battlefield... no atmosphere.. there isnt even a FIGHT or SHOOT button only clicking on the avatar and how does one GUESS that this is what you do? The tiny little alerts at the top of screen which fade before you even have time to read them as to what result was are little use to you as a player.  There is no visual of what weapon you are using or how much ammo you have left and you have to leave the WM to go to Inventory to see what remains.
   Disjointed structure.. one needs to leave the WM screen to do mostly anything else.. hospital...view battlefield, all these could be button options related to WM within the screen but instead you have to go a laborious path, choosing Military/ War Room etc to even view the Battle    Stats you are in and then select battlefield again from the side menu.. this is VERY clumsy unimpressive and slow. There is no sense that WM is integrated within your overall game experience.
  There is no way to see which player in WM is acting as medic or fighter.. or what weapons they have or what skills so any concerted action is not possible.
  There is NO overall Battle Indicator showing which side is winning and why as the battle progresses!!! How can you fight without any information??
  There is no indication of how long the battle will run or where you are in the overall stage at the time you enter. We need a timeline and a scoreline..
  Overall it is ungainly, disjointed, over simple in appearance and extremely BORING. The Battle system in 'FG' now seems slick and live and sophisticated compared to VN...
  The overall time it takes to play is far too much.. we cant all sit all day on the net....
more when I play more... I have only recently started involvement since aliens appeared...

And another really BIG observation, is from Poland:

  1. All idea of waiting few seconds to attack in real time and do it repeatedly long time and than wait for few minutes for next round and do it again  is troublesome for player (makes players unequal, makes refresh option needed what makes it more server resources consuming) and for programmer (dilling with lags, technical problems, server, cheating) and what is most important IT'S REALLY FLUSTRATING xD.   
  2. No fun fighting. Fighter can't see results of his afforts. Only nr of metres gained, decapitated enemy or is not enough (if there is any real enemy to attack). 
  3. Unacceptable for newbies, not new players friendly, impossible to keep up to stronger fighters in reasonable time (if concept is that all will have comparable chances on battlefield ), hard to used too for all players because you can't fight without medic (only few attacks and if battle will end before player will be healed new player will leave game cause he won't be able to heal byhimself, it took me 3 days and i needed to buy better medicines abroad... ).
  3. Too time consuming. Fighter who don't want to sit few hours in game should be able to still be useful even if he logged out. But being a no-lifer should give advantage too xD
  4. Visual side. Game is grey like life under ruling of communists and to make it living it must be colourful (but not gay colourfull). Especially in WM there are only numbers on grey background, it not look professional, modern and it scares new players. But for God sake don't use ever flash... it kills other games... and not let people to log into game with cellphones.
  5. WM is perfect for no-lifers players and only few % of players not for mass player and it won't let game get more players ever.
  But i like that even if old WM was crappy and unplayable after few changes it a bit changed. With option for everyone in country to train medic without MB,  shorter time for new player to be able to join battles , letting smaller countries to attack others without need to loose gold which they obviosuly don't have, adding aliens what made possible fighting in few places people from different countries without being in alliance (3 congressmen to make law of alliance on each side could be hard to acomplish sometimes). made WM much better. But it still require a lot of improvement and we can't be sure if all will go in the right direction.
    But a passive WM which we are going to try could be even more lame ;-)
It's like choosing between two extremes which obviously have diferent good and bad sides without thinking about something different on the middle of these concepts.

That’s all today.

As you can see, dear readers, current WM brings together even so principal rivals as Bulgarian and Soviet players and players from Poland and Croatia. Both sides agree, that nowadays WM is boring and uneffective. Please, take into account that this v-contries have a largest military history in this game.

Be with us.
In the next article: one Argentinian will show us a secret: why most of Argentinian active players support current WM. And, of course, another portion of statements: WHY WE DON’T LIKE CURRENT WM?
