Am i being punished?

So im gonna put this out there, i feel like gaijin is punishing me, by putting a massive but invisible to me neon sign above my tanks. Why is this you ask, on sinai, driving me challenger, gone about 5 meters bam, leopard takes me out while im stil technically in the spawn, spawn my shot kal, bam, same guy again. Go to my american line up, driving my M46, normally the HEATFS will ruin an IS2s day, nope, ghost shell and then bye bye back to the garage for me. Now i feel like im going crazy and must be because im one of the few players who doesnt play russia (nothing political but i dont want to endorse the bias and soviet crap doesnt interest me, i play the IS6 on WoT and it feels like cheating) please tell me im going crazy, because im close to deleting my account even with all the prems i have acquired iver the years, also ive been playing since 2012, so im well versed in spotting bias

You are not the first to think this, but it’s just not a thing.

You can just be unlucky and you can need to put points in crew skills.

I have premium account lol

And my chally crew is level50

Literally, i just had a T44, kill my M46, through a hill. Tell me thats fair

Another US main cope post, nothing to see here…

So when the Leo killed you twice, it wasn’t bias, but a ghost shell once on an IS2 is apparently Russian Bias…

confirmation bias much?

Post video/replay then. You do know that APHE has shell drop yes?

lmao

I’ve often wondered it too. I will get one or two great games, 4+ elims, Survivor, best on the leaderboard kind of thing. Then I get hit with uptier after uptier, while my entire team practically eliminated themselves on the runway.
Gaijin has not said anything about SBMM, but neither did Call of Duty for the longest time.

It might also be based on how many kills you get per round. I noticed that I only get 2-3 kills I will get placed on low skill teams (Playing scout is a pain in this case) or if I get a lot of kills I get placed in high skill teams.

Sounds like you are just going crazy to me.

You have one or two bad games so you get concious of it or annoyed at it, and start focusing more in a bad way and it causes you to continue to do poorly which gets you more frustrated and notice the little niggly things more often, which frustrate you far more than they normally would because you are already frustrated.

Its not the game punishing you, its in your head. Best bet is to take a break from the game, play something else, and come back tomorrow.

Its a pretty common thing to have happen. Doesnt just happen in warthunder, often happens in many PVP games to everyone. It definitely happens to me.

It’s just wonky damage model and poor coding, after so many things had happened we can assume they are not smart enough to implement their “favoritism codes” yet

Im not US main, i main britian but play germany Sweden and america for various vehicles. The leo killed me in my spawn from his own spawn.

Are you sure

Also to my poor memory havent used APHE, as its normally found on rooskie tanks, i probably am wrong but DM and ill send you the replay

Nope, sorry. You are not as special as you think. Great to have you in the game, great to have you on our forums (welcome!), but nobody in the company thinks of you as “remember that BlackPrince42 we talked about 2 days ago? What are we going to do with him today? Maybe a giant flashing neon sign from LC Signs visible to everyone but him?! Or redirect all the shells from the battle to hit him right in the barell. Lovely idea, isn’t it?!”

It’s just you and your overthiniking brain trying to create some patern from random events.

If you want to learn from your tactical mistakes in battle, jump to Academy section, share replay from battle and ask for opinion from other players.

No, premium account will not give you any special powers in battle (you even mentioned you are supporting game development by using premium account - thanks!), permium vehicles will give you more SL and RP, but will not magicaly make you immune to mistake or/and dying from more skilled players.

If you want to discuss more, please focus on War Thunder on this forum. If you want to discuss other games, you need to search their dedicated forums (if they even have any).

Cheers!

PS. To all “where my post/why you flag my post/freedom of speech!” - please re-read forum rules before you return to posting :)
