How do I not go insane while playing 14.0? (Please reduce player counts to 10v10 above 13.0)

Genuinely, how can people cope with their RWR/MAWS constantly going off for 4+ minutes straight?
Why isn’t there more pushback against this?

Gaijin needs to reduce player counts to a more reasonable 10v10 or even 8v8 in order to not bleed players the moment the most modern aircraft are added. Reducing player counts would also allow multipathing to be reduced to realistic levels, and it will also give players time for more tactics and depth during air RB matches. It’ll also make for much higher quality gameplay, which is something war thunder is lacking.

Ask for Opt to Only join smaller teams for both air and ground. I’ll give it a vote

Ngl, i just turned the rwr sound Low and the UI scale up to the max. No annoying screaming and you’ll only sometimes not notice it going off.

Changing player counts changes nothing.
The amount of missiles per player stays the exact same.
Multipath is already at realistic levels for the 3rd person view.

I disagree
It improves my chances of getting to bomb a base in the F-111 instead of watching fighters crash into them with napalm

Simple; You don’t.

Just don’t play top tier. Simple as.

This.
To add more, currently top tier is unfinished… so if you want to beta test… go ahead but don’t whine.
From the time you get AIM-120s/R-77s/MICAs etc… without any ECM , it’s already not finished and more of like a beta testing for missiles.
In fact i consider anything over 12,7 (Tomcats as well) unfinished crap that they are only there for the hype…to bring people because they know the planes. Other than that it’s not worthy.

Now ofc someone may play and have fun , i mean…you can have fun with Ace Combat - nothing bad with it ofc, but if you want a hint of realism or realistic behaviors in systems , you don’t play even over 12.0 …
So that’s that.

Yeah, whatever bro.
Multipath should be something like 30m against something like AIM-7M… and not all missiles/radars have the same limit. There is no ^realistic for 3d person^ or 1st person… it’s either according to data or not…
And it’s not.
And acceptable because it’s a game. But realistic it is not.
Realistic = as close to real data can be . 1-2 m wrong is close. 30m wrong is not…

People learn how to ignore sounds and just brainlessly sling off their 8-12 missiles just hoping they’ll get something out of it. ARB is genuinely a very dumb mode.

People will continue to rush to the middle and engage there, only thing that would change is that the furball won’t be 16v16. Maps are definitely big enough to allow players to spread out and have smaller scraps around the map, but the problem obviously lies with the players and their obsession with furballs and ability to gang up on someone and get a free kill.

I’ve played 12v12 games and they play out the same as 16v16 ones, so I have no hope 10v10 would be any different.

Your 8v8 games might also attract PVE players that would simply bomb bases and benefit greatly from 50% less players in the lobby. I hope you have a solution to this problem that doesn’t just suit fighter jocks.

play on the SA server, I get pretty consistently 12v12s or less matches, as long as you play at the right time

i mean most of the time in big matches the missiles arent even going for you, and if they are just go behind a hill or something for a bit then youll be fine (unless youre on smolensk, moscow, or denmark, if you are then rip)

I would if I had a flight controller and VR Goggles because the way the camera moves in the cockpit of a plane and the sudden jerking of mouse and keyboard movement makes my eyes hurt and gives me physical discomfort lol

For me? I simply haven’t touched my F-15I, etc, since like March. Key to my sanity. If I’m spending time in this game, I’m playing the modes and vehicles I enjoy. I’d rather jump in an Ayit and sling some AIM-9D at F-104A.

Though, I’m biased, since air battles are not my passion.

You gotta turn off “sense of flight”

With how powerful radars are, and the range that you can engage at I don’t think that would be a major issue. 1st spawn bombing might be common, but I doubt there will be anyone asking for PvE unless it’s a 2v2.

Dying to ARHs beyond 25km is an accomplishment, especially with 50% less enemies that can possibly target you.

You might end up with a team filled with base bombers while you face a 1v3 against enemy fighters.

Truly fixing higher tier ARB without major overhaul is impossible.
