Game play is just horrible

The game play is just horrible lately. So many low level players quitting after one death. The map designs and layouts are unbearable. the overall game play is just down right garbage!

Thing is, this is more players than the game being the reason.

I’ve always mentioned about those who are all cut up about the game being blind to the point that they’re passing that on to the new players and they then decide not to bother because everyone says it’s a waste of time relying on your team, it’s no point to respawn because CAS/flankers/spawncampers, and the overwhelming mass of ‘psychics’ who can decide whether or not a match is winnable within the first 5 minutes…

These are the players who are responsible for the negativity, because it’s all they ever put out.

I will be that one person that says this:
The gameplay does become a lot nicer when you dont play 322 games in a week.

So while i understand the dedication, i will also warn against it due to the frustration it causes.

Ive just had 4 games in a row over half is full of newbies from either res-1.0 or up to lvl 6 facing players of lvl 50 or more what’s the point in waiting to play if the MM is going to produce a team with players hardly out of reserves .Its a waste of boosters ,time and effort not only that all they wanna do is get a plane and bomb just like good old air battles .
Objectives mean nothing as long as they can bomb someone

I must concur. After near 2 years playing, its actually gotten worse.
The 1.0 spread is just to much
Way to many planes in tank battles. Id favor more arty less planes.
And AA hardly hits or damages planes.
Heavyvtanks (US) hitting T 34s 8 times and doing no damage.
I mean i could go on.
Maps are ridiculously to small. I’d say even amateurish. Considering this game is 10 years old 80% of the issues should have long been fixed. Then even as small as the maps are, plenty of areas are off limit to boot.
Over half the vehicles are not meant for tank vs tank warfare.
Bombers with 1k or 2k lb payloads is just nonsense.
Buildings that don’t take damage.
And then the cheaters. Aim bots, wall hacks, auto detection, speed enhancements and now the manipulation of getting onto the same match with an entire squad of 7 or 8 players.
Im afraid botthunder has reached its end

With the amount of players, increasing trough the years, it has been getting worse for some people myself included. Instead of throwing us all into the same modes, it would be better if we could choose more what we play. The main frustration for me and many others is the map sizes getting smaller for GRB. I like to play slow, taking my time to move and position. On small maps this is nearly impossible. The matches are also too short as a result of the current TDM gamestyle.

Its simple, let us choose what we play more. Give us more map bans, let us choose between the small and big maps. Introduce rotating BRs for ground sim just like air sim has.

These are just small things, why not do them to make the game better for more people. Stop acting like all players are the same, we are not. We all have different reasons to play what we play and how we play.

Absolutely.
Love this comment. I agree with your points.
Its not that I mind Arcade. I like both realistic and arcade. But as I said the 1.0 spread is to much now with all the added vehicles. As well as way to many planes. And high yield bombers with 1k and 2k payload bombs on these small maps is total nonsense.
Randomize start points and capture points. That way its always “fresh”
Thats simple changes without major programming.
