I have been playing WT since 2014 or so and VR SIM since it was possible. Ik think every game mode has or had its charmes.
Lately my beloved SIM Mode is turning into arcade frenzy. F-18 vs F-18 with people scoring 19 kills and 13 deaths. Also i notice these are mostly Console Players who just buy a premium F-18 take off race towards an airfield fire all missiles die and repeat the process.
I think these people are lured into sim to get SL. I also think that if Gaijin would increase SL in other game modes SIM can be saved.
As of now 12.7-13.0 SIM is dead and its just a quick shark tank without any ground attackers and racade style gameplay
This is precisely what Gaijin wants. People immediately impulse buying high tier premiums. They are satisfied. They aren’t going to care what you say. It is working for them the way they want.
You’re wrong and right at the same time. I dont mind people immediately buying their way into premiums high tiers, because if you want to play modern stuff of course you’re not going to want to grind your entire way into it. I dont like props for example, and if I was forced to play them I would quit the game altogether. So I think that high tier preemiums, as long as they’re balanced (and the f18 is not, should be 13.0) are good for the game.
You’re right when you see people getting higher scores, that’s because top tiers are much more deadly than lower tiers and require a very specifc set of skills to do well. CAS and bombing isnt really viable at those tiers because weapons are too dangerous to really allow it in the traditional sense. This is also true IRL by the way, you dont send a su-25 into contested airspace, you fly those planes only where you’re decently sure there are no fighter planes that can intercept you. If you want to do CAS imho the sweetspot is between 9.7 and 11.7.
Its they way the game is played which is anoying. Race to a base fire all missiles jump out and repeat… has nothing to do with sim anymore just SL farming.
who was talking about bases? race in fire al air2air kill a few jump out race back in jump out race back in… geat 19 kills and 13 death… My point is that Sim is turning into and arcade match…
No planning, no tactics, all useless just race kill die race kill die…
I have no problem in people buyin a premium, hey thats good for the game… losing a way to play the games is what i dont like… we already have ARCADE and REALISTIC, leave SIM for the people who want to fly a more realisticv game… i think max 1 liver per crew would be good. People get more carefull because death has a meaning, now its just spam spam spam
