Quick question. Do YOU have fun in War Thunder?

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 thinlk i was there lmao

I prolly won’t get to top tier air in a while because I’m a ground us main.
But by the time I get there it will prolly be even worst.

air takes like 1 8th the time tbh

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

American Desert Match?
USA vs USSR and Germany 10.3 game? 9.3 full up tier?

Should I grind the Sabre line?

yes absolutely
but dont bother crew the 20mm sabre it suck
use the 50cal one to grind for the F-100D

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.

Okay but I’ll prolly use the F89B A2D or A-4E
Maybe the F5F or F3H.

I would think 20mm would be better then 12.7mm

F3H-2 suffer 9B and the SARH 7C suck
grind the F-100D and use it to grind rank VII

idk

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.

Subscription to that feature ran out and needs to be recharged.

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

Should I go for the F80 line or F84 line first? After the naval

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…
