Been playing more air recently find the skill ceiling here to be endless. While in ground you hit the ceiling fast and it just becomes a very long and arduous journey to learn maps and posistioning which can be really frustrating process.
For me it is just boring as it is the same gameplay as it was at the start.
I much more prefer old maps like karelia or ash river over new ones. At the moment I’m just leveling up my crew in USA and found joy in 6.7 B.R. as it is the best for USA (same as 6.3, 7.0 and probably 6.0).
There are some mad and interesting vehicles at 6.7 for the USA.It is quite funny.I am getting on with the Pershing better than I thought I might.
I am finding Israel at 7-8 a real chore.Painful grind and old slow tanks vs fast tank busters that I can t hit even if I see them.It is little to no fun.I am getting a few 3rd and second places occasionally but little enjoyment.I thought higher tier might be more tactical but it’s the same maps(Finland 5 times in a row) and just long distance sniping with CAS too fast for the SPAA.
Took almost a month off from playing decided to play today,
1st game = 3/4 of our team gone to the other team only one player left.
2nd game = full uptier and we got smashed started with the other team having one more extra player.
3rd game = once again 3/4 of the team leaves to the other team only one leaving.
4th game = full uptier.
I was having a good game at 6BR with the Panther F dueling with other WW2 tanks and my frontal armour and positioning doing well.In rolls the 2S1 and just ruins it.
Try another game and having fun as WW2 vs WW2 ,me being in an unmodded vehicle,along comes the M109 and ruins it again. Being taken out by fantasy 60 and 80s artillery that makes a mockery of WW2 vehicles and makes you wonder why the hell you are evn bothering.If I stay at 6BR I fear another month off. .
So yes it is just new devs smashing down the amazing things the old devs built and the game going down the shitter as a result.
It’s tiresome ,I would love for the dev who thought it would be a good idea to crap over 6br with 80s artillery spam to come on here and justify his/her appalling action.You killed your own game.
I would not say the game is boring but elements of the game are boring.Having my gun shot out is tiresome and makes me switch off.If we are to have a long range gun battle then let’s do it but leave me a gun ffs .
I wish people would stop thinking that lights are the best, or that heavies are the worst because both are untrue. It all depends on the situation and how good the player is.
To be fair, uptiers don’t always feel fair in GRB. It is quite annoying to only ever tanks better than yours at certain BRs.
I went to 6BR to modify the Panther F which I had never played.Played a few games to get the mods but mindful for an unspaded tank.I did well ,just by finding a good spot and using frontal armour as most would.I found I did well against vehicles from a similar era.I took hit from them and we had some good long distance battles all went as I felt it should from 3 years in.
When I did get killed one shot from the front ,it was always from a tank I felt I shouldn’t even be facing ,M109 or even the T34 to a degree.Kind of makes me feel deflated, frustrated and somewhat cheated.A real shame it goes this way.Playing 7 or 7.3 what ever is even more stupid.I just dont get anything from it.
Odd as I can take a full uptier lower down where everything seems to fit the canon and despite what any era haters may say it is a WW2 era.
So while the game may not be boring ,the Era mix at 6-7 BR is boring and the old “Oh somebody shot my gun pout with one shot” routine certainly makes me switch the game off.No gun ,no participation, might as well leave.One every 6 or 7 games fine but 4 times a game every game? BS
I enjoy all Br ranges and its still super fun for me, just burnt out at the moment that a few games will get me bored lol But eventually Ill start playing more often again. I do take breaks from WT for some months or so.
The reason it’s boring for me and I play arcade in the first place is because of the sheer amount of cheaters, I’d rather play with no anticheat and maybe 2-4 lobotomite idiots aimbotting through trees than play against 1 chinese guy who goes 20-0 in the first 5 minutes
