GRB has some RP issues that can be easily fixing by giving us more RP as a reward.
I never bought a premium vehicle and found the grind to be pretty demanding while using premium account.
That being said, for some reason my ARB research progress has been much, much faster and there you go through the TT noticeably faster.
Absolutely, this game is straight up pay to win and its going to make the grind super easy.
After rank 6 if you arent a pyscho ya you will need premiums + premium time to progress at a manner that isn’t slavery.
Maybe air you can get away with just premium time, but ground/helis and naval is just awful.
I spaded my mig27m in a couple hours this morning, played like dogwater too, and the idea I could do that in a rank 7 tank is laughable.
I completely agree people should learn essential mechanics as they progress. Top tier air RB for example is filled with people who have no idea how missiles or radar work, some even try simulator and the teamkilling is actually insane. People don’t even know what IFF means.
But yeah, 600+ matches is more than enough to learn a new mechanic lol. I also got really disappointed with the research bonus if you have top tier. 5 matches a day is pathetic.
Exactly, I see that as a double-edged sword. Yes, the game is free and we need to buy stuff to keep it up but at the same time I personally know MANY friends who tried getting into the game and dropped it exclusively because the grind is unbearable.
The game has so many issues and they just don’t fix it. I doubt reserving half an year or an entire year to mostly focus on QoL things in this game would piss off the community. Fix balance, grind, economy, bring new features, new game modes, new mechanics etc etc etc. What they do is keep throwing us new content and VERY rapidly squeeze the bag of new shiny vehicles we can get. Current datamines mention 5th gens by summer next year, so after that… what else?
Watching them talking about an infantry game mode when Enlisted exists, not to mention Battlefield 6 won’t take long to be released is pathetic. Their response to the review bombing was pathetic, though I can appreciate some changes.
It just makes me kinda annoyed/sad because I’ve been playing this game for almost a full decade and this is the state it finds itself in. Not that bright of a future ahead.
I see what you mean about being “forced” to buy a premium. I got lucky and rolled a talisman for my Rooikat, so I might survive. But I have been increasingly tempted to drop some money on WarThunder. In my mind I’m thinking “it’s only a couple hours pay”
To be honest what they did is …semi-smart.
It’s not 5 matches.
It’s 5 matches per nation…like…50 games.
But it’s not really helping you if you are focused to one nation , though 50 games are 50 games…most of time someone won’t even play 50 games a day…
If your biggest motivation is to grind, then yeah, kinda forced to pay.
You can avoid premium vehicle, but will need premium time when discounts hits (50% off) + talisman (50% off) or shop random talisman
Or else you will become insane 😊
Play, get cupons, sell cupons, get GJN, buy premiums without spending a penny
Not if you’re on console
No you just to have to get good and have the average game of 1-3 kd
Skill issue. PC Master Race.
yes
Yeah, I know my stats are ass I never said I was good. Also, K/D isn’t a 1:1 translator to skill, bro.
Skill is getting 3 kills in a BT-7M at 10.0.
I do wonder what my K/D would look like if I actually played for K/D
If I didn’t respawn when the team was losing,
If I didn’t run the BT-7M and BT-5 in 10.0–12.0,
If I played passively instead of pushing back the enemy faster than my team could even advance…
Maybe when I start Germany or the US, I’ll try playing for stats
But of course, saying all this doesn’t really mean anything.
Forgot to say something, Playing for K/D doesn’t make you good, Playing to get good does
Exactly, KD is just nothing but how good you camp and how bad the enemy team is. I could easily sit at 3.0 in a German tank and decimate the entire enemy team. But that’s not skill, that’s just abusing the game.
.43 in a Yak 9K, no matter the BR, is still atrocious
depends of when it was played… the Yak 9K used to be utter garbadge until just a year before it got APHE when it turned into “meh” and then APHE turned it from “meh” into the destroyer of worlds.
Not a 1:1 translator but a damn good one, having a high KD at the very least shows you actually spawn and get a good number of kills before you die.
I’m not saying people should play for KD but your argument QUITE LITERALLY was “nah get good” while you’re mediocre. And when I say this I’m not claiming to be good either. Tho I have a friend I consider to be good and most his KD in ground is usually above 2 with every vehicle and he still takes almost 1000 matches to finish rank V+ and move on to the next. I’m grinding Swedish ground and I’m going through the same. Ground and naval grind are so bad it literally makes me want to stop playing this game, and I’ve been here for almost a decade and with 6k hours of gameplay time.
