Strange that you have so much detailed knowledge on all of the game’s problems, but couldn’t be bothered to do a single tutorial on how to fly a modern jet in War Thunder. Maybe if you put all that effort into learning a mode so simple even console players can fly in it…
Anyway, thank you for coming specifically to this thread to tell us all you are leaving because ARB is so hard? I’m sure gaijin will throw a parade, I’ll toss the confetti.
HOLY MONEY BAGS, if you want to queue up fast you’re going to have to switch to the BR where most players are unfortunately.
Yeah, getting 4-6 good SARH missiles with an even better radar is a huge advantage. All on airframes that fly much better than the worthless MiG-29 does. The R-73, suddenly acting as if it’s never heard of IRCCM before, isn’t helping either. And the 9M has suddenly turned into a Wunderwaffe.
How are we as PLAYERS going to finish the Grind for the B-52H if we are never able to get into a game? I don’t have 16h a day to play?? This is unfair to all the Free to Play players if the only way to get it is paying the 1,000 GE for the pass… Can these event requirements actually reflect the ability to get into a match???
my guy, ARMs have to saturate enemy radars or you have people wild weasel them while engaging them
almost as if no one wants to play against F18s or f14s & f15s. hmm.
Doesn’t quite work that way. I’ve had all servers active, and it still takes upwards of 30 minutes to find a match. Instant connections are very rare on the USA side.
Any chances of an extension due to this imbalance?
i wouldnt bet on it ive been in que for 3 hours and 30 mins now if anything i should get the star for waiting this long.
Said before, and I’ll say it again, gaijin just add Su-27/33 in. Yes, it will be unfair, yes, the US teams will get farmed to an extent. No, it won’t break the event, and yes, they will queue anyway because they want the B-52. Or don’t and watch this clusterfk of 50:1 ques continue, and all the goodwill the new mode garnered, evaporate because hundreds of players cannot participate at all.
Like, seriously, since when do you care about bias towards one side or another so much? Why is this suddenly the one time you draw a line in the sand?
If russians don’t have mig 29s or players don’t have 12.7 you can’t do much about it.
Sounds like you guys just want to farm instead of actually just grind for the vehicle. Literally takes seconds to get in a match RIGHT NOW if you drop the BS 12.7 lineups. You either move BRs to grind or pray other players in russia grind at the BR you’re in simple as that
Make a choice but stop complaining you “won’t get event vehicle” because you can’t queue in the real reason is you don’t want to queue in with the default lineup.
Did you try it cause I JUST did
I’ll live stream it right now too
If you play 11.7 to 10.3 you will get in instantly. Remove ALL planes above br 11.7 and then try
dropped the 12.7s and still waiting your method didnt work
drop your entire lineup man stop playing around
You are still in the high br lineup.
also that’s what 100+ americans against 800+ in the high bracket.
Try dropping F-4S as well
I would expect the number of players who are playing for only 1 of the 2 bomber rewards to be minimal. If you are already in it for the reward vehicles, I expect most of this type of player to be going for both, negating any imbalance.
Neither side is significantly stronger than the other, and you can argue which is stronger both ways with valid points. Therefore, there is no concept of “playing 1 side because it is simply better” like A7V in WW1, which was objectively stronger as you mentioned.
The true reason for this imbalance is the vehicles available to both sides:
It should be noted that the 10.3-12.0 bracket queues are very short for both sides (< 1 minute), which points to the fact that in situation where everyone can access the game mode, it is roughly an even split. US does have slightly more wait time here, and this can be due to factors such as F-4J/F-4S being an easier plane to play, US being more popular (either B-52 or US planes in general), or more US premiums at the tier that people want to play to earn SL and RP.
11.7-13.0 is where the true imbalance lies. If we ignore 11.7-12.0 vehicles that could be in either bracket, we see that for US we have: F/A-18A, F/A-18C (Premium), F-14A, F-14B, F-15A, and F-16A. While for USSR we have: MiG-29 (9-12) (new vehicle), MiG-29 (9-13), and Yak-141. It should be immediately obvious that there is simply more vehicles in US that are available, including a pack premium, compared to USSR. Additionally, these US vehicles span all 3 main fighter lines, while USSR only spans the Yak and MiG lines, which are often skipped due to all relevant top tier vehicles in ARB being flanker variants in the Sukhoi line. The barrier to entry is simply far lower on the US side, and therefore players will queue the US side as they have the vehicles for it, while the portion of players with vehicles on the USSR side is far fewer.
I think the thing this conversation is forgetting is that the majority of players who play April Fool’s events are there not to grind the event or optimally abuse the most broken vehicle, they are simply there to play the event for fun, and are often lower level players with less tech tree progression. They will simply play the event with whatever is available to them, and a far larger portion of these players have something in 12.3-13.0 US than 12.3-13.0 USSR.
