I don’t know why I’m even making this post, maybe just because I wanna talk about this game, however I think specifically top tier in this game is boring, I feel like the game could improve in some aspects visually that could make the game look or even feel better, I think a big one is map design if they don’t wanna make a map that plays good at least make it look good maybe maps that are more tailored to the modern battlefield, idk if it’s just me but I dislike playing on WW2 maps in a M1 abrams or even in my fav tank a T80U, and I just think the grind is too long especially at a higher tier, and a little last thing that isn’t important I wish the attention to detail was a bit better, yeah it’s nice to have fully modeled damage models however I wish there was more like the dazzlers actually glowing red when on or even the tank flaps that cover the tracks or even the plates that cover them to move when the vehicle is moving like in BF4, just some nice visual changes however this was a long ass yap made by a tired ass person that just got off a 12 hour shift tbh comment if you enjoy the thought of it or not I don’t really care
The game is being sustained by new vehicles. But the context in which you use those vehicles hasnt changed in years.
Maps are old
gamemodes are old
gameplay is old.
And that is the issue. They can throw a 1000 new vehicles at this game. Burnout occurs just as fast as if they added none
I think the extremely long grind doesn’t help either including the module grinds however if the game looked better in this aspect maybe it’ll make it better?
Grinding down the tree to me feels bad because its monotonous, but when having fun, it doesnt feel too bad. Like when I first switched to playing ASB, I blasted through a huge chunk of the tree. Now im bored out of my mind with ASB and havent touched it in months as it is a nearly identical gamemode to what it was back in 2022.
As for stock grind. That is just made to be intentionally difficult so you spend money. Its 100% a money making stream
Idk I just have a feeling that the game is going in the wrong direction still we’re gonna have 5th Gen fighters and T14s still fighting in the Ardennes
Yeah. like I said. They think adding new vehicles is the answer, but what is needed is new environment to use said vehicles.
Like air.
ARB is dull. The gamemode is Team deathmatch, on a map that is way too small.
ASB has a lot of potential, but has been abdandoned by the devs and not everyone wants to play in cockpit with full controls.
So all they need to do is add an RB EC gamemode, with a total overhaul of EC and a load of new maps, ideally, much larger than what we have now and boom. air would be awesome fun to play again.
And for ground. Not only would i love something like a ground EC type gamemode (much much larger maps with a lot more going on) but Id love an arcade gamemode, with things like CTF, and king of the hill, etc you could have so much fun just messing about in a gamemode that is just not meant to be serious. (like imagine a gamemode which was 4-8 a side and everyone was just in something like a fox)
But nope. We have the same gamemode, on the same tiny maps, every single time you hit play. Gaijin is slowly killing the game because they wont add new gamemodes, maps, etc. its a real shame
Yeah i think im done
I have a simple solution: I just don’t play top-tier, and I’m never bored.
Yea cuz russia dominates
Yes and no.
Dont know the max BR of maps now, but few years back, around New Power, you could fight Leo2s and Leclercs in front of Reichstag.
But, one thing is how maps look, and how they play.
Because even if fighting in front of Reichstag with 90s MBTs looks silly, the gameplay or gameflow works, unlike Sw*den or Sun City. Oh how I weep I can ban only one of those maps.
In the future I hope we will see more how Flanders are done, ie. How props change depending on the BR. That way you can make the map about gameplay first and foremost, but make the decorations look appropriate to the BR youre playing.
I find top tier fun
Its fun but mi28 spam is extramly annoying and also its nearly impossible to play nato cas
Just use ah64e. It has double the amount of missiles the mi28 has so it more than makes up for a bit of the lack of capabilities of each one.
Which reminds me - I love BRs that maximise the usage of city maps, or those like Abandoned Factory (only when your team all doesn’t go A - we all know the real battle is at C flank).
Abandoned factory, or advance to rhine are fine, its the sun city and sw*den that suck.
I’m always all for quality of life changes in War Thunder and wish they would focus on these more than simply adding new vehicles. However, for most, I’d say burnout occurs when you’re not diversifying your time enough between this and other hobbies and other things going on in your life. Mix in other games, get a computer homelab or some other hobby going at home, make sure you’re working towards goals in life.
War Thunder is at it’s core a WW2 game, with WW2 maps and WW2 engagement ranges. I find sticking around the 4-6 BR range to actually be more fun. Less gimmicks, less broken toys and arguably more variety among all the nations. Air and Ground RB.
TLDR
War Thunder was not designed for the top tier stuff we have now - that’s why it kind of sucks and becomes a bit ‘samey’. Play it at the BRs where it shines and it’s much better!
i berly play america now days and i dont touch their weak helis and the LAMUR is much better then the amreican counter part and having more of this bad missiles doesnt make up for the performance gap
Also ah64e needs to come up against pantsir and buk so gl
Then play other BRs?
All games are repetitive, so it’s up to us as gamers to change stuff up.
The game is boring because the developers focus on politics, not the game. For example, changing the Japanese flag so that China would forget the Chinese genocide, but not changing the flag of Germany and the USSR, which also committed genocide. Also, not a single T-series tank has real functions, unlike the paper armor and turret basket of NATO tanks and the Chinese tank armor. For example, not a single tank can move at maximum speed with the barrel lowered because the tank is too low, and this is clearly visible in the video with T-series tanks, as well as the raising of the barrel after each shot. I’ve long written that it’s necessary to remove the trees, thereby getting rid of politics, and replace them with a new system, like the one in Tokyo Xtreme Racer. P.S. For those who try to justify this, why did they change the flag specifically when Chinese vehicles were supposed to arrive in Japan, and not in 2014, 2017, etc.? Well done, Chinese gamers, for having the courage to say that Gaijin completely ignores history and thinks changing the flag will silence you.
