depends. i do have fun when flying fun planes, but i tend to lose my marbles a bit when trying to make uncompetitive jets work, like the belgian f16a for instance.
to me fun is doing well and getting frags, so when i die because of balance issues or my aim9m seeker having a seizure or simply going “no you dont get to lock”, i really, really dont have fun.
or when im fighting a p51h in my shitass j5n1, etc etc.
basically war thunder is fun when youre flying meta vehicles, but much less fun when flying stuff that no longer has any real purpose any more.
I start Air RB grind when grinding the Meteor(which absolutely suck) but 9.3 with F-100D has been real fun
Other wise eternal suffering is something I have mastered and I would do it again
The most fun i have had recently has been playing the 7.7 meteor in the UK. My stats with it are definitely nothing special. But, I’ve been enjoying my time with it.
it has terrible spread, overheat/jam very quickly and sabre turn like a brick
trust me if anything use other planes to grind sabre line
until you have F-100D it would suck if u use sabre to grind
can confirm f100d is fun, HOWEVER. the stock grind. Its actually atrocious.
prepare to fly a complete brick that locks up above 800kph until you research the perf mods, after that it turns into this incredible speed demon that is also deceptively nimble.
I exclusively fly the french one and ive had numerous aces and plenty of 6k games in it, genuinely a fav
Depends, likely never. Even Meta battle rating or vehicles tend to not give me the feeling of fun anymore to be honest, I just play a few matches a day, the game has a lot to improve, until then I don’t think I’ll invest as much time actively playing the game.
F-100D stock grind is way better than F3H-2 grind
it also have same same multipliers as F8U-2
the gun is good, manuverability is a bit iffy but if u keep speed above 500kmh and fight speed around 800kmh then ur good
In Air since i have many vehicles i can always find something to do and have fun, especially when i don’t actively grind…there i play the game and i try to learn things and i have good games always.
When grinding mods though, no… it’s crap experience overall , i just play semi-passively till i get the mods to start playing.
Naval , ok but i don’t play anything more than 4.7-5.0. I don’t like heavy ships. Destroyer maximum, even light cruiser…i just can’t. Boring.
Now ground… which i only play in events , i stopped playing RB because it’s utter crap.
Yes i did have fun bombing others /CAS/CAP , but after one point i realized i don’t actually play ground, but instead i play RB without markers and even though it’s very fun and i love RB without markers, CAS is too good in Ground RB and if you do CAP as well…yeah, people want to play ground there and i’m being the asshat… no good.
So i stopped playing the mode, because everything else is crap in this mode anyway.
And while Arcade ground is much more fun and RNG (keen vision crap etc) is less of an issue, gameplay is faster… and it’s not that realistic has much to do with reality anyway, i prefer playing this mode instead.
But the REAL fun killer and why i despise playing ground in general , while i like the vehicles…
man those maps… There is not even ONE map at the moment that i see fun . A few maybe are bearable, but in general there not even one map that i feel happy to see.
And avoid ground in general for that reason…
