Here’s my experience:
Facing full team of 13.0 RU? They leave very quickly into the match, even if CAS is not spawned yet.
12.0-13.0 game? Dice roll, mostly stay.
12.7 and below? Mostly competitive.
I’d say it has to do with morale fighting full 13.0 RU, even when its not very difficult.
Now of course they can be paired with RU, and in that case they do tend to spawn multiple times.
So true. I hate it so much when you’re alone on a point against several T-80/72s, and your whole team is resting somewhere 400-500 meters away behind the hill.
Don’t think it is a morale thing. Minor nation like France/Ita are simply goated. Across all BR it seem like. They just know what to do and where to go and stuff. Leading to a lot of game where RU winning and suddenly they losing. A large majority of them actually have game knowledge so it suck fighting them.
If German teams would stop handing over most of the objectives and almost all of the map over to the enemy for free they would do better.
Russian players still need to get spawnpoints for their CAS. So it’s not a shock that actually fighting back reduces how many of them can spawn their CAS.
That statement being based on what exactly? Your couple dozen games a month? Like youre trying so hard to paint a picture of every Germany player playing the exact same instead of just accepting a much simpler and probable reality
Do you think otherwise? Would you say German teams are good right now?
Not really. The CAS is incredibly annoying but at the end of the day, tanks win battles, but when you have everybody ragequiting, its hard to do it all yourself.
I forgot to mention, but FOTM has a large impact on this. BVM has double the games as 2A7V, as people are flocking to 28NM/Su-30SM combo.
In July, Germany stomped because Russia lost their CAS advantage, which was the only thing keeping them relevant.
A reverse of that is happening now, as Germany’s lack of LDIRCM Heli definitely negatively impacts their WR, and the reason to play them. Still doesn’t excuse them leaving within 3m of match start though. The Germans are playing like hot trash at the moment.
Whether you believe it or not, but since you are just another German main that can’t even make the 2A7 work you’ll have to try harder than this to disprove or convince me otherwise.
I think me (and probably lots of other players too) are giving up on the buk too quickly maybe. Especially its radar is still a somewhat buggy mess, you cant hide the launchers too much because no vertical launch and its quite situational since its mainly good at more open flat maps with long aerial sightlines so to say. But on these your launchers get sniped cross map easily. Its just not pleasant to use, might be its much better if you just hide the radar in the most unlikely spot ever and try to play from the launchers almost exclusively. Still annoying on all the cramped city maps i guess, but probably more manageable. But how it does tk im at a loss. i played it quite a lot in custom battles and also in quite some rb, and especially from the radar vehicle you cannot lock onto and because of that launch at friendlies. maybe through the launchers you can lock on but idk. Feels like you really would need to want that friendly gone to pull that off. or pull off the classic launch at enemy while theres a friendly in the missile seekers fov that has a much higher radar return.
But since i dont play the dev server i cant tell you much about the new pantsir only that yes, it also has the 30 mils. From what ive seen looks quite good overall.
No but im not making it up to a difference in average player skill.
FOTM is just what you guys call “new stuff that changes the balance of power”
Weird i thought tanks win games. So when there was 0 change in the tank lineup why did the winrate suddenly change so hard? Bro i swear you dont even read the stuff you write.
ohhhh did you need to go for the stat argument, because your war thunder skill doesnt make your dumb theories any more likely? I cant convince you, because if youd rather believe that all players of a tech tree are virtually the same and thats the main reason for performance diff then youre so lost that i dont even know where id begin.
CAS can snowball games, but it doesn’t win them. I didn’t say Russia was dominant, because they really weren’t. One thing to keep in mind is that Germany often paired with Russia, letting the Germans dominate the ground with 2A7, and Russia dominating the sky, but that was maybe around March and previous.
You’re not willing to admit it because you are one of them.
People play the meta. Nobody likes to lose. Its natural.
What’s left behind is a barren wasteland of subpar players who cannot switch to the other nation because they don’t have it or the will to buy a premium for it.
