Hahah, hey, I’ve been around since 2014 and I refuse to grind any tech trees without Premium Top Tiers anymore!
Leaving aside the time considerations, I’m just a dedicated Modern Machinery enthusiast. 95% of my WT playtime is on modern machines, I just don’t find that appealing the lower tiers most of time times…
So I would rather buy a Premium Top Tier so I can grind towards modern machines while playing a one which I already enjoy by itself, than spend months grinding through vehicles I’m not interested in or find enjoyable to play.
Considering the M1A1 Click-Bait is superior to both the T-80U-E1 and the 2A4M, I doubt so. It’s a circular issue.
Premium noobs show up and ODL > WR tanks > TT players leave because of the bad experience > they get replaced by a premium player
The reason this happens with America is because Germany has a good lineup and something better than the 2A4M to grind for, and Russia has easy tanks to play.
skills issue to not own business I supposed anyways even that during those times I was able play around 3 or 4 hours a day (and still is) except weekend or some holidays that I might solo 7 hours or more because I close my shop at weekend so it not much different than regular working so say people don’t have times go grind is just another excuse.
We definitely do not need war thunder to turn into WOT, I don’t want to pay money to get a better round, so I can chip away at a hitpoint counter on a tank. And to have no planes, etc.
While I understand you have more available time than other people, I also think that the uncenesary amount of RP to unlock the high tier vehicle, psh players to play only premium ones from br 9.7+.
Specially players that are here for ages, dont have patience anymore to grind a whole new tree, just because they want to play a new vehicle (myself included for not less than 4 reasons…).
I would assume at this point that the focus of the game swifted from “Unlock and play the vehicle you like” to “Unlock every vehicle from evey nation… here is a premium to help you…” and could conclude that is the reson the Top tier battles are awful (to say less).
Im too old to understand how Thunderskill works, but I would love to see how much the Premium vehicles are played in comparison to standard TT ones.
From the people I check recently randomly in battles, not many of then has more than 50 battles with their 12.0 tanks, but they do have 400+ with their 9, 10 and 11 premiums.
Silver lions is free currency, don’t know what you are talking about. Naval does not have hitpoints, you have to hit ammo racks, and go through armor just like every mode in war thunder. I stopped with my premium account a year ago, and have no problem making free currency in this game that does not alter how effective a shell is. No this is not WOT
oh because I assumed you knew that WOT has not had irl paid ammo for literally a decade. And yes naval does the modules use HP to determine damage so ur wrong lol.
not by much really maybe 10 more percent than most people but still what i mean is people lacking patient these days what fun in that if they can just jump to top tier in just 3 days? it took me a month to get leopard 2a5.
I agree that people shoudl have more patience to unlock, but I also understand that the game is currently set in a way which is digracefully impossible if you dont have and over-use a premium.
I would say that the biggest problem at 12.0 is that people think that only worth using 12.0 tanks at that level, and they dont bring anything else.
Also, in fact only CAS players tend to spawn with light vehicles and cap/die to get their Gripens and Su’s.
I really wish War Thunder had a mechanic that would separate players that have only 1 vehicle in the lineup from players which are joining with 2+ vechiles. I’ve seen some posts about this recently and I think is an amazing idea.
What they did with less players in the Air match I think was bad, but I just disagree and commit with that :/
Yeah, no. I have more than 600 kills with the Freccia and the spikes do kill. Sometimes they simply crit, that is true, but a disabled gun breach means that somebody will manage to kill the tank or that you can push it yourself. The Freccia is by no means mediocre. You can also mitigate the issue with spikes sometimes trolling by the fact that you have 10 of them. Anyhow this goes off-topic. If you want to keep on discussing about this it will happen somewhere else.
By this argument, go play arcade it’s exactly what you’re asking for.
ARB sucks enough starting 10.0. We don’t need to spread the suck around.
Also, “But france and italy can face each other!”
Guess what, when we had Historical battles this could still happen (albeit in form of U.S vs Great Britain). These matchmakers were called “ALTERNATE HISTORY” and were done with intent and were fun to play. Or “Preparation”/Training/mock battles.
Today we still have alternate history matchmaking in ASB, sometimes with player-ran events about fictional ways the cold war could’ve developed. I see regular event calls about “Cold war gone hot” and the like. Sub-trees also complicate things: Italy has Hungary, so Italy can be both NATO and Warsaw Pact. China represents Taiwan and CCP. Germany has east/west germany, same deal (although germany is always on red team).
Some of these are historical match-ups.
Some require “Oh, it’s because of subtrees.”
Some are outright fictional alt/history, but it is still a legitimate scenario that could be imagined to have happened sometime during the cold war or ww2 with a stretch of imagination.
Other than copy paste premiums and subtree issues, it works out quite well for fun experiences.
And at top tier, U.S has best jet so there’s BR issues that hopefully will get fixed with more modern jets and max BR changes.
This should be 100% done, but only with America. It suffers from premium players the worst by far, with basically nothing that could fix that besides either splitting the matchmaker between only-premium vehicle players and everyone else, or putting in a premium-player-distribution system (so that there are an equal number of US premiums on each side, but non-premium US players only on one side).
Everything else could be fixed by actually adding the vehicles that struggling nations so desperately need.
