Last stand of Air Realistic Battles

I’m saying it’s silly because I don’t want to actually use harsh words cuz you’re not wrong in the fact that it’s not right to insult people just for having a different view

means my opinion is silly, so in fact you insult my PoV of what should be that said overhaul of ARB.

not really what i would call a friendly debate

His only competence lies in reading out update changes over a very bland gameplay.

Your opinion is no less important or less valid than mine in reality but I think that your opinion on the matter is also silly and hyperbolic to a degree That’s just my opinion though

No. Absolutely not.

In that case, I’d add MiGan Fox -3 + Bad Karma to that team for Air. We have Defyn and Lee for duels/close quarters fights, MiGan/Bad karma for survivability/ long range engagements and Tim for just being a good all rounder. I haven’t heard of Liniyka…

I think my approach would ensure all stakeholders would be given access while minimizing people making accounts for sake of voting.

Thus:

  1. We Pay We Say (must have an active subscription or must have purchased premium within last 60 days). Same as in OSRS. F2Ps don’t get to vote. Is it maybe harsh? Maybe. But this filters out majority of spam accounts and creates a sense of obligation (you don’t pay, why listen? vs paying customers)
  2. Must have played the game enough hours to make sudden spam account less probable. 100 hours to me is a decent breakpoint that’s comparable to OSRS’s 200 total level requirement. In fact, it’s much harsher. 100 hours with reasonable play time ( 3 hours saturday, 3 hours sunday) comes out at 16 weeks’ worth of playing Warthunder. 100 hours at 1 hour day day is 100 days as well.
  3. Must have played the game recently in such a way that you cannot upkeep while playing your own account. By requiring either 15 hours (play on each weekend 2 hours saturday/sunday) or 24 hours (play on each weekend, but 3 hours) you filter out people who are crazy enough to buy premium for an alt, farm that alt up to 100 hours of gameplay and then keep them on retainer to vote to sway polls. This aspect is not included in OSRS and would expand things compared to its own charter.

Why 15/24 hours?

Because reasonably speaking, someone with a job or busy high effort degrees will likely only play on a weekend and playing 3 hours on a saturday & sunday is probably the maximum amount of gaming one should reasonably expect.

The goal is for every reasonable and normal player to be able to vote and filter out bot/spam accounts. That’s the sole goal. Nothing else.

I’d give donut a go. guy might be releasing memes but he pointed out the problem of the game very frequently.

well!
anyway,…

the current ARB was build on the fact that you can’t respawn,… this would affects not even BR’s but the whole ARB mode, since allowing respawn would make people to play more aircrafts - yes

but at the cost of using 1.0 P-26A aircraft alongside F-5C or F-18C early (if we’re talking of GRB kind of respawn,… it could be an EC one type that allowed to spam the same aircraft over and over for 4 hours straight)

from my pov both are not ideal

This is bad precedent. listening to people who pay the most recent is just asking for bots with 100 GE in the account to vote.

If you really have a throbbing boner with paygating, the least you can do is gate it by the amount of money spent.

That makes some game modes have a bar of entry of three vehicles of similar capabilities or more

Second one can hardly exist if first one isn’t implemented, that is if you don’t want extremely boring and bland gameplay, artificially prolonging match duration by increasing the map size without any need.

Yes that’s the goal
I’m not saying remove the current ARB game mode but have other ones alongside it people like the current one but there’s way better ones that could be added
Similar to how GRB players want a mode that doesn’t have any CAS options that doesn’t replace the current GRB but is an option to play

mmmm… I’m kinda on the fence with this. rather than limiting the spawn to 3 vehicles i’d rather have you build a lineup and make it respawn Air Sim style (except you only pay like 1K SL) rather than using SP.

No I mean to prevent one death leave by somebody with a premium and no other vehicle in the lineup limit them to certain game modes where you only have one life for that one premium Ensure that their lineup has three vehicles of similar battle rating / capability to play more diverse modes

RB EC would be the ideal.

I’d likely stick to SB EC at this point, but a year ago I’d have jumped at the chance to play RB EC.

It would hopefully also reduce the amount of CAS spammers in GRB because telling them to come play SBEC if they want to win with strike/bombers doesn’t seem to work

Here’s a video from TrainingDays talking about the significant impact ground-pounders can make in SB-EC.

of course, SB-EC dynamics are not perfectly transferrable to RB-EC (spotting, mouse aim, third person views favour fighters much more than they would bombers), but it’s still a good indicator and answer to maybe reducing CAS prevalence in GRB.

I have to disagree on that. it’s fine to only bring one vehicle. what is not is when they ODL. With that I propose, rather than using something like SP of GRB or spawn limit of AAB we go with pay to spawn.

Oh yeah just let people use their whole lineup definitely

adding new gamemodes now? more than the previous one i’ve listed yet? oh yes baby let’s write a new list of ARB gamemode that would spread players apparts

  • ARB mode (current)
  • ARB mode without AAM
  • ARB mode without Bombers
  • ARB mode without Attackers, but bombers allowed
  • ARB mode without Attackers+Bombers
  • ARB mode without Fighters
  • ARB mode without Ground objectives
  • ARB mode with only Ground objectives to win the game (as was EC, with EC type respawn)
  • ARB mode with only Ground objectives to win the game (as was EC, with GRB type respawn)
  • ARB mode Respawnable (alike GRB respawn)

Each can be given futher limitations:

  • ARB mode without MM limitations (like having to fight players coming from 1.0 to 14.3 in the same battle)
  • ARB mode without limitations (no entry bar)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 1 similar vehicules (go with 1.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 1 similar vehicules (go with 2.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 1 similar vehicules (go with 4.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 1 similar vehicules (go with 6.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 3 similar vehicules (go with 1.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 3 similar vehicules (go with 2.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 3 similar vehicules (go with 4.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 3 similar vehicules (go with 6.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 5 similar vehicules (go with 1.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 5 similar vehicules (go with 2.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 5 similar vehicules (go with 4.0 max spread)
  • ARB mode with an entry bar of 5 similar vehicules (go with 6.0 max spread)

10*14 : 140 differents gamemodes already

see the problem?
