Ive opted to just stop playing the game at the moment.
Air? The aircraft I usually enjoy such as the Tornado GR4, seem to constantly face under BRed Su-30Mk2 and MKKs at the moment. Typhoon is okay, but those recent Su-30SM2 buffs were actually insane. Air Sim i’ve largely stopped playing for a number of reasons, but at least a part of that is the rediculous BR for several redfor aircraft, like the Mig-23MLD, which renders more than a few Bluefor aircraft virtually pointless.
Ground? (Most notably to play the new vehicles we’ve been waiting 3 years for). Unplayable due to BMPT
Naval? Compression seems pretty bad at the moment and the ships Id quite like to play at the moment are unplayable due to Soyuz.
Just seems that there is no escape from systematic choices to have one nation be notably strong for “Reasons”
I’d recommend if you’re playing Naval at this point, to look at other games Arc Raiders has been nice for me. I only come to War Thunder if USA has something new. Every game dies eventually and at the rate Gajin idolizes Russia 🇷🇺 I can see why they are trying to spark Infantry which I can tell you from my gameplay and streamers just hop on battlefield 💀
Me getting out of bed in 2090 to check if SPIKEs are fixed or how terminators are balanced in ground and my grandson tells me to take my dementia meds. Then I die of cardiac arrest after seeing a bradley get molested by a T15.
I rather like naval in War Thunder, but the Leviathans update destroyed any pretense of balance at or near top tier, which is just a shame. You would have thought they would have learnt that mistake previously with Scharnhorst, but instead they just failed even worse this time. Lower BRs are okay… but I tried playing some 6.0 in a light cruiser and faced nothing but Battleships. (Likely casued at least in part by a lot of people favouring 7.3 and below over 7.7 and up)
Ive tried a little of the Infantry in WT, but not a fan. Not really a major fan of FPS games these days. I would get BF6 to play with friends but Ive not got the cash at the moment
Gaijin should let new players trial top tier for 3 days. Let them experience what’s going on with the terminator, soyuz, and su30sm2. Half will play russia and the other half will quit. Those who are smart enough to quit will at least add 10 more years to their lifespan from not grinding through WWII to see the absolute shithole top tier is.
Yes, if I wanted infantry I would just play Battlefield. Seeing them add the BMPT and do infantry is like watching GHPC catch up to War Thunder who already owns the crown in Ground while DCS took the crown in Air. Either way, their bread and butter will eventually stop chugging if they keep this up with what competitors are doing.
yesterday i shot 2 spikes from CRV and they hit that box in which are breachses and did absolutely nothing, meanwhile he shot with APDS my CCTV and it killed my whole turret…
New players don’t care nor look at forums. Took me three top tier nations and a year to finally get on forums. Most new players play USA realize the game is mid to them because they have to learn then hop on games their friends already play. Most gamers play for friendship and fun unlike us.
I have like one friend I convinced to play with me. Being both americans we started that. Then switched to germany, now on japan lol. After this update its just been gunner heat pc. The leopard 1A3 is nicccceeee.
