F15E vs F15I "controversy" and the real problem of the American main-based player

me grinding out the italian tech tree, then gaijin drops a LEOPARD IN IT FOR NO REASON.

Stuff like this makes me stop grinding trees because im tired of grinding the same vehicles over and over.

I mean one would think that gaijin would take this leopard out and put it in the NEW SUB tree they added with the copy paste vehicles from the other tech trees right?

Yes I agree, which is why my suggestion is to make Israel and other trees like it an accessable sub-tree for multiple nations, and the vehicles which can be used in the crew slots of multiple nations, reduce TT bloat, and remove multiple different distinct nations and the crew slot grinds that accompany them.

The reason was that arietes are, and i believe this is a technical term, turbo-poo.

oh no! Anyway…

when the arite had the best round in the game, fastest vehicle, people flocked to it.

At no point in time was the Ariete meta or competitive with its peers.

You people keep typing this, yet it stops .50 cals from the front

unless you are talking about a slap round, no ifv in the game would be able to stop those

Honestly, my positions on this subject are deeply contradictory, borderline hypocritical, and i’m incapable of articulating them clearly lol.

Like one hand, RB today is a far cry from the ‘HB’ it used to be. It’s insanely ahistorical. We often have civil war matchmaking. We have meme’s like ‘You get a Leopard, Now you get a leopard’ etc. unique national flavour is dying, and I worry making countries like Israel / China accessible to other countries in the way you describe accelerates this downfall.

But this is completely contradictory to my enjoyment of having those countries unique vehicles in the Israel tree which does the same thing. Where am i going with this? no idea. Having an internal crisis on my position here lmao.

HE goes like 800m/s buddy. The AGS is my most played tank. I know what I’m talking about xD

Ideally you would have a single row of crew slots, that any nations vehicles could be placed into, but only with certain nations being able to be played together, and only in specific BR ranges/eras. For example you could bring a lineup containing WWII german and Italian vehicles, but not a lineup containing WWII german and british vehicles. Its a completely moot point though because doing any of the things I suggested would both reduce grind and reduce player frustration, which would reduce both of those things as drivers of revenue and thereby reduce the amount of money gaijin makes by mistreating the player base.

so you expect me to know when a HE round is being fired at me… like i can predict the future? Do you think this is movie or something?

I’d expect you to notice when someone shot the ground and is then looking at you. If they’re so far away that you didn’t, you’d probably dodge it unintentionally anyways. Like, if you want the AGS to keep being the op rat it is, just say so :p

Funnily enough, just had a discussion with someone earlier where i wished for such a system. Maybe it’s too late now, and maybe we never had it initially because the games scope was way smaller then than it is now, but yeah. The crew skill grind bloat is by far the biggest grind in WT. (Especially if you play Land, Sea and Air).

And as you’d say, they’d never change it because crew skills are sooooo grindy, it surely brings in alot on people buying GE to boost it. These thousand hour crew skill grinds per nation are likely here to stay lol.

All of it is here to stay, it some of it will probably even get worse over time as Gaijin desires ever increasing profit margins.

Tbf bro, you’ve got it set to 500m.

Most of our maps are urban slugfest’s where you’re engaging from like 200m down to point blank.

ah thanks for letting me know you don’t know what a rangefinder is.

you assume people are like you and miss their shots.

???

You know you have to shoot off your dart before you can load HE, right? Maybe gaijin should do a tutorial so i don’t have to explain this.

thats the rank its at normally

uh that isnt true as most top tier maps are in flat open fields now with no cover. and ifail to see why this is even a legitimate reason. thats like me saying you can disable the ags using russian bullets

Cause you are playing china ? Minor nation player who MAIN US/USSR yapping about the pointless stuff in the game to prove his point
