Failsquads are a problem

Am I the only one who considers failsquads to be a major issue? People go “haha but its just a joke bro” what exactly is funny about griefing friendly lobbies by being useless in a biplane?

Stuff like this is why we need a BR cap for squad queues. They shouldn’t be allowed to do this.

Report for passive behaviour (they physically cannot contribute to the battle so it should count)

I don’t think passive behavior report does anything, considering i reported 5 by this point and hasn’t received a single notification for it.

that type of thing needs to be reported in the server replay

Interesting to know. I do still think there should be a BR cap to prevent this type of behavior in the first place though. Not very fun seeing a lv2 biplane knowing that both him and his buddy is gonna be deadweight.

eh generally i think because of how many people are in warthunder matches losing one guy isnt that harmful

It’s still unsporting behavior. No one’s matches should be impacted by a troll in his rank 1 vehicle at a high BR.

Nope, I consider it griefing and passive behavior and it should be treated as such.
While I understand that when playing with friends you don’t always have vehicles at the same exact BR so some leeway should be allowed, but +/- 1 BR is more than adequate allowance for that.

Yeah, it would also prevent accidently queuing with mismatched BRs due to miscommunications, I have done that occasionally NGL.

It’s not that uncommon to see 1 guy bring in 3 reserve planes, that dose hurt the match.

One biplane isn’t going to make a difference
Your team will either get stomped or stomp

I have shot down an F-16 in a swordfish (in a custom lobby) but that does not mean it should really be a common thing to see

war thunder players when someone wants to have fun

Only when your idea of fun involves ruining the match for everybody else. ODLers do it because it’s more fun for them, spawn campers do it because it’s fun for them and the clowns that ram you on take off so you get a TK and crew lock do it because it’s fun for them… and you know what they all have in common? they make the match suck for everybody else.

Game literally has an achievement (god mode) that requires you to do shit like this to get it. So clearly it is at least partially intended behaviour for players looking for a challenge to uptier themselves such.

Being that it’s only 5.0 BR difference, they’re going too far into that gap to even make that the excuse.

I think it’s above 5, but that is beside the point: you are not gonna contribute to the match either way, not the way you would if you were in a vehicle that belongs to that bracket anyway.

It is an inherently selfish way to play, but so long as you do it occasionally, that’s perfectly acceptable.

Yea, it’s not reportable as passive behaviour as the advice has been handed out in here, and it’s not unheard of to have the prop succeed.

its not unheard of but its a 1.0 in a top tier game, if it was like a 5.0 thats one thing but a reserve prop?

Let people have fun, a biplane isnt gonna make a difference.

team killers and people who bring rank 1 planes to the game are not the same… but there is no point in arguing with you since you are dead set on having this idea that it “ruins the game” (even thoe there is this so called thing called “god mode”)
