I think that’s more down to server/client issues than anything else tbh, at least in most cases

I suppose it’s possible you are being hit by more than one person as well.
No.
How else do I know where to revengebomb?

It also encourages players to act like headless chickens because they will be blessed with the exact position of the killer, no matter what they do.
Nothing more than a cheap crutch and making players feel better by giving them a reward for dying.

Ah the Hitlers deciding how we must all play the game.
The only actual reason for keeping the killcam aside from skill issues is spotting cheaters.
I’ve successfully identified and gotten a dozen or more cheaters banned thanks to something seeming off from where I died respective to the enemy.

That’s actually a very good point.

You could check kill cams after the game, results will be the same. If something seems off, you can get even a better look by using the server replay.

I suspect most of those who bitch about it keep it on and use it to revenge kill themselves.Then they brag about how they get ten kills a game and everybody else has skill issues for using killcam.
Do you have any Idea of the history of Killcam? At what point it came into the game and why?
My point being,Did the game start with Kill cam? Was i added later due to player complaints and now others want it gone?
Another failed merger,sorry.
Yeah no, once I finish the game I’m off.
Killcam should stay as long as the cheating infestation is as rife as it is. I’m not loading up server replay until I get that initial gut feeling from the killcam.

Don’t have an idea, sorry.
You could get that initial gut feeling from the kill cam, but after the match, let’s say on the end results screen, where after a clicking on a button “Show my deaths” you would be met with kill cam(s) of your deaths, simple as.

Encourage, yes, but actually make someone think, good luck with that 😉
The KC was added due to so many people complaining about how they were killed.
I think they should remove the shot cam and module damage notifications of tanks you shoot. imagine how more dyanmic a battle would be not knowing if you killed the gunner or damaged thier breach etc. Also you wouldnt be able to prospect through smoke and trees adjusting fire based on shot feedbakc you should never have.

I agree that it should be removed for Ground Realistic. If its not completely removed, then there should at least be a certain K/D you have to hit before it kicks in so that players can be notified that other players are using abusive spots.
It would be interesting to see how the game would play out with kill cam removed but I think it would maximize player frustration which is not good for the game’s health.
Not necessarily. It could remain in arcade. That way players who want that crutch can still enjoy it and players who want a more realistic experience can too. Alternatively, it doesn’t have to be fully removed- it could just be removed unless you sit in a spot for too long or get a lot of kills without dying.
Players who want a more realistic experience should play simulator.
GRB is the mainstay game mode because it features ballistics and allows you to actually utilize cover / foliage to hide.
To say people play it because it simulates “real” battles is comical. War Thunder’s physics don’t even come close to touching real life performance let alone the ahistorical lineups or the general flow of combat.
War Thunder is a PVP game, GRB is the most balanced version of said PVP game. Being a game players want a fair experience. Removing the kill cam would let campers maximize on their position and I think it would be interesting to see how this would change the flow of the battle if once you died you didn’t immediately begin a revenge quest.
I don’t believe it would be good for the game as War Thunder’s maps are atrocious and spawn killing would quickly become common place more so than it is now, but it would still be worth experiencing as a test.

Right, but what about changing the timing of the kill cam, as opposed to flat out removing it? Which I agree is bad. To help players improve at the game, they need more information, not less, for me the only real discussion around KC is about its timing.

Kill cam itself is not an issue. Showing location of vehicle that killed you is. Its easy to remove that as they did it in SB. You can see how your vehicle was destroyed but cam feed cuts before it shows where did you get destroyed from.
