Arcade Battle should be changed to pure tank battles

Thing is, if the bomb whistle isn’t intentional as you assume, then it’s clearly a bug, and not directly related to this in the slightest.

It’s not as if Gaijin are trying to let you die by these sorts of things, and it’s REALLY not as if they LEAVE things bugged, just to get you

You cant hear bomb whistles over tanks shooting, crew talking and explosions

You can. You’ll want to work on your sound settings. Heavy bass kills every other noise and that will make your engines kill any awareness you wish to have.

(This also brings to a wider point, is it actually missing, or did you just not hear it/miss it.)

Im aware of such features
Just concerned for new players
And anyway who does not like explosion sounds

You either a bit confused or you don’t know how to read. I never assumed that, for the contrary. We had bomb whistle years ago, it was a feature of the game, then when Gaijin made a major update to sounds I stopped hearing it on my PC which is the same since I moved to PC. Not being able to hear bombs is one of the complaints of those that want a tank only mode, which is precisely what this thread is about.

Yes, cause THAT was exactly what I just said above. Since you don’t read when I said “But it works in both ways”, which means I get killed more but I also get way more kills cause other players also can’t hear the bombs. But you prefer to act like a troll so I’m done with wasting my time with you.

The player I’m responding to is claiming that it’s by intention, literally.

As shown by thier response that they’ve whipped up, from the outset the veiled insult shows they’re not of good faith.

So you’re assuming that it’s by intention, just to make you die that the sound from the bombs stopped working, which isn’t what this thread is about…

The only thing this thread is about in that regard is the end result of you dying to the planes, which you vehemently despise because of the fact that it got you.

I’m not trolling you when I say that, I genuinely cannot see how so many people think that the comany actually has it directly out for them… It’s all so messed up, and it’s all about the death.

It seems like no-one understand give and take and the whole premise of playing an actual game.

Muh dude you got a 49% win rate and barely a 1 K/D.

I don’t think it’s intentional. I think it’s a bug with the sound system.

You can hear the bombs whistling if they’re low altitude <200 meters. If they’re higher up 800+ sometimes I hear them whistle before they hit the ground, but most times they don’t. I haven’t actually tried holding the bomb view key… I think I’ll try that and see if I can even hear them whistling from the bombs PoV.

I don’t play Arcade that much but one thing I do like is the CAS set up. Ditch the tank somewhere safe (ish) jump in a plane and do what you can in the short time allowed. Its fun. Arcade should be fun.

God knows GRB is serious enough. There is a game overrun with CAS

a death is a death whether plane or tank it should go against your 3 spawn limit,we would then see more care in the air!

I held the bomb view key (keep holding spacebar)
You can hear the faint bomb whistle
Faint because there are other sounds too

so, why not tanks and AA in the ‘planes’ section?
why arent planes harassed by players in AA in the air section games?

planes harassing tanks is fair? no?
so tanks should be able to mess with the planes also.

only all you have in air, is bot AA

so let a bunch of tanks join into the air missions and fk up YOUR game?
thats fair right?

yeah a 49% wr, not that i have a great deal of control over that, there often being full fledged muppets in the team with more braincells in their backsides than in their head.

WR means absolutely sweet FA

and barely a 1 K/D

that might have something to do with me dying 3/1 from 1000lb bombs that dont announce their impending arrival, nay, even 2000lb bombs of late.

im just wondering when gaijin kowtow’s to the whining CAS players and up the size again.

hell, there is even one guy in here claiming a swordfish ‘historically’ could carry 1000lb bombs on their
centreline payload

whats your K/D ratio? and how many of those kills can be put down to you spamming bombers?

id LOVE to see the data…

try being in a tank and getting shredded by 20mm rounds from planes, which dont appear to suffer the same physics of gravitational effects as 20mm rounds from AA

not that im accusing gaijin of even remotely programming things according to the laws of physics…

Yes lets have player controlled anti air vehicles join air battles
I love the idea

Once again, last night, I had at least one match where there weren’t any planes from a certain time in battle. This time in Aral Sea.

Did they changed anything regarding the CAS mechanic?

On one hand I like it cause there won’t be any planes flying when the match is already in favour of one of the teams but on the other hand, I also like to play SPAAs, and if there aren’t any planes from a certain point in battle then there is no purpose in keep using them and be useless.

Did anyone already experience this?

65% win rate. And that’s from playing solo the last couple of months. I’m in a squad now so it’ll go up to 85%+ in a few weeks.

K/D 3.7.

solo the last three months, ive been solo the entire time so?

you cannot have got 65% w/r all by yourself, but then maybe you can, if you are one of those players who spam tf out of bombers…that would also explain the k/d ratio.
afterall you can die a dozen deaths in a bomber and it never register as a kill.

am i supposed to be impressed?

id be more interested in seeing the tank kills by tanks and tank kills by plane data

Sure, as RB players aren’t losing anything, if anything, gaijin can carbon copy the GAB, and remove the aircraft option, and have both for those Arcade players that don’t want it to be gone, but want aiming and scouting crutches. Actually the first time I’ve agreed with an Anti-CASer.

No.

You want to ruin the Arcade Mode? Air is like zero problem in Arcade at all and it is way better and more fun implemented than in GRB.

Why would you even want this and why in Arcade?
