People will still 1 death leave. The issue was never repair costs

I leave when I am playing Russian tanks and I get Sinai which is nothing but Dunes and I can hit an enemy 50 feet in front of me without sitting on top of a hill.Time to go,then we have crew lock.

people will always want the quick way, its in our nature.

As you grow older and (hopefully) wiser, that turns/manifests into patience

I personally don’t care for the K/D ratio that has plagued many other FPS style and similar games.

I’m in it to help Squad mates, cap points and support the rest of the team, i try and mark the map, squad mark and type on chat to promote teamwork and when it does the games are great. i hate Lone Wolf play style where everybody’s for themselves.

The key word for me is FUN and ill stand by that.

I will always fight to the end, and to be fair most of the best games have been where i’ve died 6 times got like 4 caps, 6 assist, 4 Ground and 2 Air kills.

You End up with over 120k of Sliver lions and around 18-20k of Research

So funny to see this idiot finnaly got banned after gaijin figured out he was making alts on the game to argue with people here.

Well said.

Which idiot?

I agree and I think that is the way to earn and claw your way up the ratings and stats.I just think players dont think before leaving ,its mostly done in temper or due to circumstances such as maybe just not having the right line up for a certain map or maybe something as silly as emerging into the desert in a snow camo : )

This games design also does little to help there.So many possible agendas that each player may have. They may be doing a Battle pass task or modding a new vehicle.They may be simply focusing in getting kills for stats if it bothers them.Maybe making stats private would help teamwork and lessen competition between teammates.

The tier system simply does not work for some people neither does CAS ,some players just can’t buy into certain elements of the game.Many quit the game overall and many J out early while playing.To find somebody who can override every negative element and stay until the end is something of a rarity now days.I admit I can be in the wrong mood some times.

As far as I can see every thing Gaijin have introduced over the last couple of years have increased frustration levels not reduced them.Narrow redline maps are a fine example.Artillery spam is another.Just silly little things that ruin the game.

Getting to your usual sniping spot and finding it suddenly gone or finding you cant shoot through fences anymore when you could yesterday. How will that make you feel any better about the game?

Found my squadron apache again

And In order to grind it out the best and pretty much only options is to rush Straight in trying to get the Rockets off
Get shot down and move on to the next game
Finish the game just isn’t worth it for 200-500 rp per game with premium

But fly around don’t charge Straight in
That gives me 10-20 seconds of flight time for about 2-5 seconds more Survival time
Also AAA and Enemy ka50 ka52 those even have radars so they see you across the map and launch proximity fuze vikers

And Heli ac is basically be fast or don’t even try
Or at least have long range armaments

I fail to see how that’s my problem. You’re just a liability in my book.

When I started doing 1DL, it was because of repair costs. I used to go into a match and stay till the bitter end. The rounds where I was at the bottom BR, that usually meant I always had SP to respawn, and frequently, there was no joy in such rounds. (Also, frequently, they were lost rounds!) After noting that other players were doing 1DLs, I started, and found the game a LOT more enjoyable.

These days, I frequently 0DL. Honestly, I don’t see why they don’t reduce the BR range. I don’t see why they don’t allow barring certain modes. (I only really like domination) Events that make it such that nobody wants to cap encourage me to leave, too. Anytime I’m playing and the other team is outnumbering me at the capzones is another game I’m likely to leave as well. I’m old though, so really any whim is fine to go do something else. :-)

Cause when you lower the Battle Rating BRs you compress the game further meading to cases where F-4 Phantoms will be facing off against F-86 Sabres.

Or King Tigers are facing vehicles that they should not face cause they would be incapable of really combating it effectively. A lot of vehicles facing King Tigers are vehicles that it can face and kill. While some were produced decades later, and are using let’s say rounds such as HEATFS.

That doesn’t mean those vehicles overall were really that different from those from mid 1940’s.

Correct on this, but when you mean by DL yyou’rereferring to the word “Down low”?

He meant lowering BR spread in Battles. So instead of meaning ±1 BR from you BR you will meet just ±0.7 BR.

So…never get a match. Cause that’s what that idea is. I rather not spend 8 minutes waiting to get a proper match with fellow 0.3’s. When i probably could have played 6 matches for the amount of time it would take to just get 2

Well, lucky you. You’re OK with the status quo! (Except the status quo has a LOT of players 1DL and 0DL from the matches they don’t like.) I’d be willing to bet it’s something they’re not trying, because 1) People would like it, and 2) It would make the game less grindy, which might lessen the need to buying premium time. Go ahead and keep stating your opinions like facts, though. (Like I can stop anyone from doing that)

Mate im not ok with the Status quo however I do not agree with your totally original idea that no one else also had in the past. It’s dumb as bricks. It’s just as dumb as people wanting B1 Bis fighting Panzer-IIs.

What you want is to be waiting “Let’s play the waiting game aka How long can I go being bored to bricks”. Some other games did this, and woopy do they do not exist anymore.

There are ways to minimize that. BR spread can be dynamic depending of various factors like total number of players in queue, number of players in specific BRs, current average waiting time, etc. MM could simply try to make matches with smallest BR spread depending on queue. That could improve experience for players that lack a skill to deal with better tanks without any significant effect on queue times.

I personally do not care about this as I simply do not play tanks that cannot deal with +1 vehicles. And in combination with one tank lineup it I do not even notice difference between +1 or -1 matches.

I choose to play however I want, with full line up or one tank if I feel like it I will leave after one death…

This is the way of player that plays for fun. It is your free time so you should use it like you want as long as it is not against rules of game.

Right, ifthey make it punishable leaving after one death then I wont be playing ground…

Problem here is irrational grind that makes zero sense, I really wanna enjoy the ground but grind is even with premiums and premium time and boosters just too long, also you need to buy all tanks to open next one is crazy…
If you aint playing for fun but grinding Ground is just waste of time in my opinion.
Playing in stock tanks is probabbly worst experience ever.

I feel same about that. Unfortunately game is designed around grind so gameplay is secondary. It is sad it takes so much time to get to higher tier, especially if you are not interested in WW2 stuff. And I completely agree with stock experience. It is ridiculous how bad it is. I have been stock grinding new Leopards in french tree as I did not have Leo 2A5 or 2A6 and difference between stock and at least partially spaded is just huge. Spare parts module is just joke. When I do not have it I just leave after some critical component on tank is destroyed as I am not going to wait for some team mate to notice I need help. The difference in mobility is also very annoying as stock tank just do not want to move at all. And difference between stock and top darts is also huge. It is better than starting with HEAT-FS like rank VII and lower have to but still you have to deal with much smaller weakspots in crappy version of your tank. The performance increase when I unlocked DM53 on Leopard 2A5NL was just extreme. Killing power to completely next level. It became much easier to one shot tanks then with stock dart. I also do not understand why Leopard 2A5NL and 2A6NL are not in folder. It is just to add extra grind. People were saying because it is on end of line but Type 10 and TKX are also foldered and are on end of the line. Same for Pumas.

Agree, only people having fun in ground are people that have finished their tech tree, rest is just pure grind so I understand people leaving after one death. Also I find worrying about stats like win rate and KD laughable in this game…means absolutly nothig when you go aginst uptire or full teams…so yeah… too bad ground is really good maybe better than air…but just unplayable with crazy grind
