That’s a lot compared to the 10-15 I wast used to on the last year of my old laptop XD
Now, like you, I’ve got a good laptop (still kinda budget) and can play smoothly on movie settings
It’s also meta to use as high refresh rates as you can and to push as many frames as you can. Not everyone has access to that, unlike the ULQ.
You telling me 144 vs 60Hz isn’t a big deal for any fast paced game tells me all I need to know.
Difference between the barebones and high end screen is wild.
I won’t even start on peripherals, where 150-200€ headphones give you a clear hearing advantage over some crusty 30-40€ ones.
You could argue that to be the case for a game released in 2025, but we all know WT is a game that’s more than a decade old.
Bringing up minimum settings to get rid of an “exploit” should also warrant bringing down maximum resolution and frame rates down to the average level, as that’s also an “exploit” which gives an unfair advantage.
First of all, let’s not pretend 50 FPS is anywhere close to being competitive.
BF1 is also a fairly old game that you’re running with your fairly new CPU that has integrated GPU as strong as a low end GPU from 2016/7.
I specifically remember struggling to hit 144 FPS in WT on a Ryzen 5 1600 and 1050Ti.
I think you’ll have to deal with the fact eSport games have competitive settings and everyone can choose if they’re going to use them or not.

Yeah trust me I know the struggle, I was on that on an old Satellite before I got a thinkpad, that’s when I unlocked 30 fps gaming XD, now I built a PC with a 3050 and a 12400f so she beats the game into a pulp

Having 60 average FPS is a pretty bad experience, so people getting locked out from a more pleasant experience is not a good idea.
This isn’t a story-driven single player game where you might want to sacrifice performance for visuals.
I’m genuinely cackling at this. I respect your opinion but PLEASE elaborate
If your computer is good enough to get 60 fps on ULQ you can get essentially the same on low, there’s not really a difference performance wise unless on lower hardware
I thought it was
If you are just barely hitting 60 FPS on average it means your lows will dip down below.
This can’t even be compared to the gaming on more than 144 FPS using high refresh rate displays.
I’m not aiming to get only 60 FPS.
This give a lot of insight into things like this:
The most apparent differences is the jump from 60 Hrz to 144 Hrz (with the fps to support those update rates of course) BUT there is also a difference between having 60fps on 60Hrz and 200+ fps on 60 Hrs.
I think the best case to show what many are talking about here is the “double door” test they do towards the end of the video.

Any idea why they didn’t fix the MIM-72E/G when they updated the smoke trails?
Which isn’t really an issue with this game, also I noted if the game recommends anything more than ULQ, which means at least “low” in which case you’d be able to tweak the settings for the lows to come higher and what not.
144hz is NOT all that. I promise you it’s not that good
If you can get 144FPS on ULQ and 60 on low then I hate to say it but your hardware MAY need to be checked
Eh there’s not a massive difference between 60 and 144hz, and I promise you that there’s not a tactical advantage or anything in my case. I’m just as trash as I was when I was playing 20 fps lmao
Yeah, it’s so much better now! Your pc sounds pretty good, my new laptop has a 4060 and a I7 13something
So nice to finally being able to play without being jelous of a potato XD
That’s how I feel! Only $1400 and I was able to play max settings

I’ve tried it and yes it is.
If I can’t hit 144 FPS I’ll try to hit as many frames as possible.
100 is still better than 60…
There’s a massive difference.
Even just scrolling on your phone something like 120Hz feels much better than 60Hz and it’s actually insane how much of a difference there is.
If you perform as well with 20 FPS and with 144+ FPS and Hz I’m afraid to say but you’re the bottleneck here, which is fine but don’t run around telling people higher refresh rates are useless.
No sorry, Game Masters only handle in-game chat and name bans. We have no insight into development and no contact with the DEV’s. If there is a report on an issue you can message one of the Technical Moderators to ask about it’s status.
Info on how to contact the Technical Moderators
You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.
Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.
Otherwise if it’s a more general question you can ask one of the Community Managers if they have any insight/answers to give.

I play on it and no, no it isn’t
yes clearly, but at that point it can be seen as exploiting ULQ which is the issue we’re trying to avoid
The difference is not worth it, I use 60hz and the 720p screen to get as much battery life out of it as possible.
I’m not saying they’re useless, just if you have 60 at low settings then you shouldn’t be on ULQ, and yes I know I suck :)
There is, it’s quite the big difference actually (at least in a majority of cases). But some games benefit from it more or less than others, usually depending on the need to react quickly and have pinpoint aim or not. War Thunder is some weird middle ground as being able to aim weakspots in tanks fast and accurately can absolutely help in some situations but in others it wont matter at all. in Air it will mater way less as there are very few situations where fast reactions and pinpoint aim matters (your not aiming for the pilot, you’re aiming to hope to hit the enemy plane at all)
Well sure, player skill will also play a role of course, but i think it would be foolish to say that there is little to no benefit as even worst case scenario you still get some benefit and best case it can make a rather large difference.

I use it and yes, get your eyes checked.
I’m just trying to get better experience.
Yes it is.
Sucking is fine but having more than 60 frames is a definite advantage, especially with higher refresh rates.
Just a dumb little question i just have to ask (i’ve seen it happen to may times to count and it doesn’t hurt to double check). Have you activated the higher refresh rate for the screen when you got it? all the 144+ Hrz screens come with a 60Hrz default setting and need to be manually changed to the higher refresh rate options.

It’s entirely possible my eyes are too shot to notice the difference
You clearly haven’t played with French 7.5mms XD, if you don’t kill the pilot you don’t kill the plane
I did, broken cornea and crazy astigmatism XD
I’m guessing you aren’t playing on 720p then are you, nor are you playing on a potato, especially since you play at 144 fps
Not on a phone
There isn’t really a noticeable situation in which having 144 will save you
Yes and I use a compatible HDMI cable :)
