1300 hours of in game play time.
this is supposed to be a team game and yet for some reason the teammates i have most of the games are movements that close to an automated player never capping the points and almost always getting in your way of your shots or end up just killing you due to their automatic movements.
I used to play this game a lot about 7 years ago slowly drifting away to play other games but always come back so why is it that almost everyone in every game has a full premium lineup that i need to face against very unfairly in stock/tech tree tanks and planes. it never used to be this p2w based 7 years ago no matter what country you where using.
why has gaijin destroyed this game to such a degree to make it this p2w heavy based to where its almost impossible to do a full tech tree using just normal vics
greed and lack of love to their game.
Also to throw in, its why the entire parts of the game not pvp are left for dead.
The game is not P2W ? Lmao ? It is Pay to progress. Some of the premium Gaijin released are absolutely mid if not borderline bad
Its a single player game with real people instead of bots for teams.
Do not EVER trust your team to do anything, the only thing they are somewhat useful is checking the map to see what might be safe to travel through, but sometimes you’ll have 4 ppl near a friendly cap and just die to someone that wasn’t even 200m from them from some retarded angle you would think is covered.
People don’t cap points because its a suicidal effort most times. Even if you make it on cap, the entire enemy team + their CAS knows you are there and you are likely to get killed soon after, caps tend to not be very defensive positions to hold on either or have poor sightlines.
There’s no reason to work together, friendly players just represent a threat to your RP/SL gains. There is no MMR or any kind of ladder, no rewards for working together, no voice chat or any kind of things that would build a teamwork/community environment aside from squadrons.
I help people repair, i hold angles for them if they are moving onto a cap or pushing, that’s all I’m gonna do, anything else is just pointless. The only thing I can think of the past week were I actually went out of my way to help someone was a light tank scouted 3 targets pushing me near a cap on red desert and got me all the kills and I waited 30 seconds for him to come and get on cap before I touched it so he got some score too. That’s like a 1 out of 500 game occurrence if that.
This, but don’t completely write off your team either…
I chuck out the odd encouraging words, or a quick plan out in chat, then call for people to attack the D point, leading for landing, follow me, need backup.
I don’t even know/believe that those are players anymore.
I sometimes see impossible things to be done by players.
I’m trading fire with an enemy tank , with a friendly next to me…i get 2 hits in -1 crit, opponent doesn’t die (ok) , he returns the second hit gets me , i die.
The friendly just sitting here with clear view of the enemy which aims me… just shoot damn.
The worst of? The enemy then passes , doesn’t fire the friendly and they turn and avoid eachother…instead hits another friendly that was coming from farther away.
WTF?
I mean i’m not a good player in ground (usually i’m just playing -but when i actually try i get good scores, but generally i’m chilling not really tryharding) , there is a difference in a bad player and this bot like /automated behaviours.
Another trend i’ve seen recently… as soon as i scout someone he stops moving or gets cover. Is there an indication that you’ve been spotted that i don’t know of?
Conspiracy theory, and i really don’t want to believe it… but since i’ve seen bots (AI) in naval sometimes kicking butts too hard, it’s not impossible to be bots.
On the other hand, it could be RNG sometimes. Keen vision etc. something you see someone else might not see and while you believe he gots it covered he may not see crap and not intentionally.
Ex. had an enemy player, he was comming to me in a very unfavorable angle (climbing a hill) . I had him marked. And as soon as he appears i shoot i kill. He probably had no idea i was there anyway.
This is the reality of most players who drove to the objective points like a zombie
Check out the bottom half of the team, all having two deaths with 0 kills, with near-zero defensive gameplay and situation awareness lol I know these guys going to blame campers “at least we tried to win bro!”
^ Yes you tried, but the result is you failed miserably, whats the point of bragging about working hard 25 hours a day and 8 days a week, in the end you still have no money?
P2W??
Is the P2W in the room with us right now?
If anything WT is P2L
Theres some arguements that certain premium vehicles give an edge over TT stuff.
T80U-E1 is a direct upgrade over both T80’s at 11.7 in Russia tech tree. Better thermals, more horsepower, better turret traverse. Su39 gets KH29TE instead of KH29T over the TT su25, plus the toys like the radar (useless outside of sim). Premium KT having better engine, German premium G91 getting 4 aim9b (worse guns I get it, and aim9b isn’t great but at 8.7…) over the TT one. There is a lot of little examples like this.
Its not egregious, but is kinda sorta p2w in a way if you want to be really nitpicky.
The core issue in the game has become everyone camping in one spot, and players connecting from certain regions seem to play incredibly well (suspiciously so?) even at level 50. We’re still dealing with problems like not hearing back about the results of our complaints. Despite our economic contributions through premium vehicles, memberships, and similar means, we are unable to experience a transparent game.
You can play WT solo, but having a buddy on your team makes it a completely different experience. Two players working together can achieve a lot, and a well-coordinated squad of four is almost a guaranteed win. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t reward team play properly, so many people end up playing solo.
This is a realistic vehicle combat game, there is no way for it to be anything but “camping” as the best way to play. You have no way to actively mitigate shots taken against you other than to be behind cover, armor is just a passive way to stop shots, and aside from a few cases like the Tiger angling there is not much going on. And the higher tiers you go the less and less armor is going to do anything for you but save you from a badly placed shot.
If you want to stop the frustration, you have to learn how to position well. This doesn’t mean just camping in 1 sniper spot all game, but it does involve playing around spots were you have cover, and only being out in the open holding W as a means to get to and from these places. If you are out in the open without a way to retreat to cover after firing your gun, you are vulnerable for ~6 seconds on average and if you get yourself into a 1vX situation you are absolutely cooked if the other guy(s) don’t job. Happens to me all the time in city maps where im holding W kill someone and then im boned because im reloading and had no were to retreat and someone was nearby to clean me up. If I was playing around a corner or hill I could retreat after firing and not die.
Holding W, playing like a man of honor or whatever is just a death sentence, and you will end up in situations no matter how good of a player you are there is nothing you can do to avoid death. There are times and places for aggression, and being good at that type of play, but these situations usually arise from poor positioning or a gamble not paying off, not something you wanted to get yourself into in the first place.
You dont have to play the game this way, but if you want to feel like you are in control of your situation and not totally just rolling the dice this is what you have to do.
waste time.
