Got 3 thousand hours on the game.
No i form a written complaint to gaijin about the maps, and highlight it when possible to do so.
I dont take such personal offence to the map that I actively harm the team or the outcome, I will still go and try play the match to win.
I leave when i run out of SP
I last played the only French tank at 6.7 ,Cant re,ebr its name.It has solid shot and really cant pen much at 7.7 .It has few of the mods and is taking forever.It can pen the Tiger one in the BR below but bounces most of it’s shots at 6.7 ,at 7.7 forget it. So I am pretty much with you ,full uptier,forget it.
There are flanking opportunities or much cover any more.I find I just can’t be bothered.
All I can do with that light;y armoured tank is use the map and go hull down.If the map wont allow that then its goodbye.
So many reasons to quit early now.
I am not a slave to any game that I need to waste my time on a crap map.A game needs to earn my respect and my play time.When I do get crew lock the game goes off. In fact I haven’t felt compelled to bother much of late.The forum is probably more fun than the game now : )
then dont play the game.
You are choosing to play a team based online game.
Bad maps or garbage teams are part and parcel with that.
the crew lock is literally there as a deterant to that sort of shoddy gameplay mate thats why it even exists in the first place. Its a punishment for prematurely leaving the game.
I play on and off, its not something I have to sit and play like others make out.
but when i do play, I stay in a match till the end of it because thats the whole point in it and how its set up, hence the punishment for early leavers and better rewards for those who stay to the end.
depends the discussion tbh, It would be nice if gaijin was more vocal on a lot of things oppose to just selling new stuff, or markating their updates etc.
I dont anymore
This is an arcadey run and gun mosh pit. This was never a team based game…
Its literally a team based game.
If you take a squadron of 4 people into a match you’re far more likely to win against a team without communication.
Ive played the damn game for over 3000 hours.
It is 100 percent team based.
Rarely, and i mean rarely will someone single handedly win a match for the entire team.
Why is it 16 v 16 teams and not a free for all 😂
Reasons are many:
Constant uptiers (if i play king tiger and get 7.7 it’s no go. I know tiger can fight 7.7 but why should I suffer against better enemies constantly?)
Bad maps (playing mouse or any other slow tanks on big maps is pain in @$$, so nope i will leave and don’t tell me to take other tanks, i want play mouse and it’s not my fault game gives me trash map)
CAS ( CAS is very strong and easy to gain, so if you are getting 2nd spawn most likely you’ll get bombed right in spawn zone, or getting killed by spawncamper. After 3-4 minutes high tier battles are decided who wins, so getting other spawn means give free kills to enemy)
Non-pen, impossible ricochets and as results your death. (80% times it happens with low lvl or really bad players who has K/D 0.5-6. It’s pretty common theory that Gaijin help this “bad” players by giving them more armour and damage, while good players getting less armour and damage that explains it) and don’t say I’m wrong, Gaijin confessed about this mechanic before and if you think they turned it off you are mistaken, at least there’s no proof of that, but my experience proves this mechanic is still on and works just fine 😁
Then why bother even playing the game? genuinely man that excuse is worn out at this stage, just take a break rather than hamper the team.
The maus, was 1 very unbalanced for such a long time it came to the point it was impossible to balance and thus was removed, between BR and maps it was not a tank that could be fairly balanced. You play it at your own risk.
In no game mode is cas that dominant that it completely demolishes your team other than if your team is plagued with ODLers and ofc no form of SPAA or CAP.
3300 hours over 6 years nearly and thats the first time I’ve heard that, so where and when did gaijin admit to ?
Never have I seen some right low KD player ricochete a round that should of killed him that any other player wouldnt have.
I also leave early.
The maps favor steamrolling
CAS
My F-20A/Bison can’t do much against 14.0 planes that are 12.7 in GRB. I tried to CAP once as a Bison, literally kept getting AMRAAMS sent my way. I couldn’t even get a lock at all. After doing this for 10 minutes I just crashed my plane out of frustration.
No lineup for it
nothing will change, happened for 12 odd years.!
Players who line up 1 tanks and off they go, UNLESS they introduce mandatory 3 tanks which lets face it - you can literally die twice in a row in some matches withou t so much as a shot off and you’re out of the match.!
Gotta like it or lump it in this one i’m afraid!
I’m really tired of these entitled rants,
It’s nobody’s job to play war thunder, it’s a video gamr and nobody owes you anything.
It’s no ones job to be good at the game, it’s no ones job to try hard.
I’m sick to death of the one death leaver complaints, the passive gameplay rants, Jimbo’s war on players sitting back taking pot shots.
The general discussion is clogged with these tiresome complaints, I can’t mute these threads fast enough
toxic players getting one topfrag once in a while and blame others when they lose.
I want play fair game, not “try to survive against better”
Did you read what I wrote “mouse and any other slow tanks” do you understand what that means? And it becames researchable every damn year.
Of course, CAS is like mosquito, can’t do anything. Launching missiles and laser guided bombs from 10 km away is nothing and anyone can avoid it, while you don’t get any warnings. At low tiers most tanks haven’t even anti air machineguns and many planes can get kills even without bombs or rockets and ground players have nothing to defend themselves. (Don’t start writing about AAs, they are useless if plane don’t flies straight to you. Slight maneuvers is enough to dodge any low/middle tier AA guns)
How often are you checking it? And if haven’t heard doesn’t means it’s lie. Is your general K/D higher than 1? If no it means you are bad player and of course you don’t notice it, because game helps you 😜
They posted about it many years ago, what players who using cheats they are fighting this way. If someone is too good in game they reducing damage and armour to them so cheaters can’t have fun even with cheats.
I can’t blame players for doing it, because the fix is easy and i know from experience…
Just make it 3 spawns and pay in advance the spawn (like SIM Air) ,but you can spawn the same vehicle 3 times.
I played some Arcade GB those days instead of go CAS game after game in RGB (which i despise the tactic but i do it for scores and to lvl up some crews to be able to play normally -takes way more than grinding vehicles to be honest) and overall the gameplay is way superior comparing to RGB.
Not the models/realism… the gameplay.
The “spawn heli/fighter” etc. buttons are all the money . They can and i think that they should bring the same thing in RB, maybe have more control to it like bringing your own vehicle (if you want/have) , but it shouldn’t cost SP. That way you can easily counter cas with your fighters and ofc the exit mode where you preserve the vehicle and get more points!
In comparison RGB feels outdated af.
If they do those 2 changes , then realistic ground will be spot on imho.
This game does not work well for BRs above ~9.3.
Maps are not suited for the pace of the game and engagement ranges.
Plus regular grind is so busted and slow, that most of the players do not have meaningful lineups, hence you see plenty of single premium users.
Yes, exactly! That’s why i ODL i i feels like it
Just terrible maps.
You get into a map that you hate and it makes you sick.
I just leave the map that I don’t want to play, I’d rather wait 7 minutes than ruin my mood.
That is why SBMM should be implemented
The game is inherently unfair buddy, uptiers are a part of it.
You instantly leaving when you see an uptier you just make the game overall worse for your team.
Yes im aware of what you wrote, ive used 6 nations to top tier ground ive used these mega slow tanks.
All bar the maus and T95. Almost every map has a position slow tanks can get to and be somewhat effective.
On the topic of the muas, it may be researchable every year but it is in all effect removed from the tech tree due to being impossible to balance.
It only becomes researchable due to being such an iconic tank.
You can use CAP to take it down, not put yourself in positions to get hammered by it as well.
The only place i see an issue with cas now is at top tier with the su34, typhoon, f15e and rafale.
All of which i fervently oppose and am vocal that they should not have been added to grb.
Spaa and cap.
This just is not true man the m42 for example was and is good st its br for taking out cas especially if they broad side it.
Or the phong kong, and that little weird box after it.
Theres some spaa that are piss sure, but most trees have effective spaa.
Confidently dont mention the spaa at 7.7 and up that start to access IRST and such after 8.0, you can actively track super props easy days and even jets.
So the issue is a user one.
Considering the fact my kd was ruined by my stupidity when i began playing aka buying prems and running mixed af br lineups.
Like taking an amx30 up aith the 30 super.
Or the t29 up with the megach 3.
Etc etc
It speaks nothing of the player skill, i more often than not am sitting in tbe top 4 on my team now adays, hence why the KD is slowly creeping back.
Im positive in all my abrams variants bar the base M1.
Cr2s positive in all of them.
Chieftains positive in all of them bar the khalid which i ran in a 10.7 lineup.
The cr1 i think only the mk3 or mk2 isnt positive.
For germany, all leo2 variants are positive. And i believe the kpz70s etc as well, hell even the leopard 1 is positive and ive only jumped to that before christmas.
Isreal almost all positive bar the begining tanks.
Japan mostly positive bar the type 74s at 9.0.
I van keep going mate the overall KD is slowly climbing back, its not a fast process at all, but irs progress, so no the game is infact not helping me…
Back when it was actively a worse KD. I died more not less like youre claiming.
You also didnt provide a single source for that wild af conspiracy claim
Find me a source for that. If they stated that itll still be massive.
Or your just throwing total bollocks out. Ive played for what 5 or 6 years and never have i heard of that. Not only is it ridiculous, they would struggle to implement it correctly anyways.
Edit: BTW to talk about folks stats, maybe not have your front page advertise your clubbing and ODLing like mad xD
