11-Year War Thunder Veteran's Honest Rant: Why I'm Stepping Away

thats even funnier

New Brazilian vehicle will be added and then you will jump in again, as the drama queen you are😁

A premium one to farm Brazilian players more money

The burn out is real.

Also BR compression

All very well for Gaijin to say damned if you do damned if you don’t, its more damned for sloppy implementation Fox3 being the latest one…it always seems a case of reaction to new things going down like a lead balloon than setting up the ground work first befor implementation…

proper implementation gets head pats…

reacting weeks later to a poorly added new feature causes OP’s posts…

The AMX A-1A issues man really have been going my head in, it doesn’t fit into any lineup in GRB, and since ARB is fucking fucked rn that play is unplayable, 11.3 with a questionable missile it really, the BR changes and multipathing have fucking this game to the point where is unplayable

That was a slog to read through just to get to the relevant points you were making, which while valid just don’t need to be made in such a dramatic fashion. We’re not your family, nor you friends to my awareness, so such dramatization is simply unnecessary.

If you have points to make, keep them clear and concise. It’s that simple.

Anyways, do your thing. Keep playing, or don’t. Your call.

Thanks!

Almost a year and, even though obviously still present in forums, still find myself not missing out by walking away.

At least three times I was tempted to reinstall but remembered why I chose to leave (what I liked previously was disappearing for me).

Just waiting for Stalker 2 and hoping that has gone “my” way (i.e. not turned into some modern travesty of a game).

Thats alot of words so im gonna respond as I read

I mean, lots of new vehicles and a completly new meta for the higest tiers, with new missiles is alot of fun.

Theres a spread sheet, and 2 whole posts, just go look at them

Theres a few, but most things 10.0 and up got moved up so that the 9.0’s stopped fighting all aspect missiles and stuff like that.

F8U has flares, rwr, and 4 AIM-9D’s, is OP rn.
Also its flight model got fixed so it dosnt rip its wings if you think about turning

F4C also has double the missile count, can carry 3 vulcans and gets a much better radar with much better radar missiles

Hence why they were moved to 10.7, their also really slow and easy to avoid in a mach capable plane like the 4 you mentioned before this.

yes, because the germans put flares on their f104’s, which makes it have a higher BR.

Yes, the F104S ASA is different aircraft, it has a better radar, AIM-9L, Sparrows, flares etc. the F104A should be higher but comparing the 104A and 104S ASA makes no sense(veteran btw)

Its not a fighter, its a ground attack aircraft, with 45G! missiles. Comparing it to the F14 also makes no sense as they serve different roles.

Tornado, Lmao

I find it hard to believe with some of your comments

Theyve had a few posts on this now and their working on it

The vehicles around the T34 also cost like 40k at most, so thats 8 games, yes, lower vehicles get lower rewards, 11 year veteran and dosnt even know how the grind works.

And a pilot dosnt need to stay alert at all times? They dont need to listen for engine sounds, and weakspots on a tank are alot easier to hit than a jet going mach jesus while your also going mach jesus.

Do you want to fly for longer?

Use a missile idk

Shoot them down, its a subsonic attacker.

Agreed, we need AIR RB EC

Italy has a Leopard 2a7, and yall still complain

These are the most braindead people in the game, I dont rely on them at all,

Turms players are also braindead. easy kills

The germans and russians arent always together, theres mixed battles. also all russian tanks have the same weakspots, their all easy to kill, the real threat now a days is the leopards

Because noone plays it

Then just do that

Sounds fun whats it called?

Youll be back, you know it

This is not an airport.

Here’s the mission link. Sorry if the post overall didn’t make much sense, English is not my first language and I only learned along the way of playing this game for 11 years.

I’m a tanker and heli player, absolutely agree. Not only that but tankers have to also check air, because there is always CAS. Also take in consideration the other rewars such as the nuke: you do a ton of kills, assists and/or cap, you spawn an overtiered trash aircraft (for top tier) that barely avoids missiles, just to get “17,5K SL” from the reward… just garbage! Instead a God Mode (which is extremely easier) get you 36K SL.

Not only that but SPAA are old and not balanced against modern air threats (except Pantsir). Facing guided weapons and fire-and-forget missiles when SAMs have SACLOS missiles with poor range and easy to dodge missiles it’s frustrating. You earn too little and can’t compete with what you are supposed to counter.

Exactly, that’s why I decided to not play them anymore and use my helis as anti-aircraft in GRB, I earn more and also have the bonus of the ground reserch for helicopters.

Same, I wanted to play Sim a lot of times, but was never at top tier.

This game needs to change. And then Gaijin doesn’t know why veterans and older players are quitting the game… here is the reason.

I had no complaints about your english, but thanks

What I mean is, perhaps I wasn’t as clear as I wanted to be.

是的,所有的改动只为了榨干每个玩家。
这已经不是一个为了带来乐趣的项目了。

@Chris_V3SGO My friend makes these user missions, it’s worth giving this one a go, oh and btw, watch for the mines

Google translation for the non-Chinese:
“I agree, all of the updates are just to squeeze every player dry (of their money and time?).
This is no longer a project for fun.”

This is one of the main reasons they wont fix the uptier/downtier broken BR system. They want you to suffer enough you pay money to make the game “fun again”. But reality doesn’t work that way.

To be brutal the game is pretty shit in it’s present form and I doubt very much it will be changed. It is just running on the same old tired route, it must still be making enough money too be profitable but it would be interesting to see the balance sheets over the years, I expect most of the cash is now through selling top tier premiums to the collectors/ hardcore enthusiasts or the new players who do not want to grind through layers of WW2/Post-ear and Cold War to reach the advertising hyped Abrahams.
With the shambolic matchmaking, collapsing teams, RNG and endemic cheating it is just not really worth inputting time, money and effort

Thanks, I’ll check it later, right now I’m doing something else
