Single vehicle penalty

☝️insert rant post here

There is only ONE possible solution, and it will never happen.

People who use a one-vehicle lineup do so because they bought a premium and it’s the only high BR vehicle they have.
Nothing to do about that really. It’s annoying as hell, and I have nothing but contempt for those who do it, but you just have to accept it and move on. So I suggest everyone stops creating countless threads about it.

That is true…but 1 dead non premium leavers also spread to lower tiers. I had many games at like 4.0 where people leave after 1 dead. So yeah, high tier premium bots are normals…but at low tier?

My impression is that this thread is specifically about people with one-vehicle lineups, and not so much about ODL.

It specifically says in the OP, that it is about those who leave after one death. No matter their actual lineup, but the choice to throw in the towel and leave.

How about thinking backwards and creating a game mode like Squadron realistic battle which players can’t respawn?

I think almost of Premium grinders will be played that

So for someone who want to play high tiers (8.7-10-7) will not be able to find a normal game because most of people playing at those BRs are 1 dead premium leavers

Almost everyone is a Premium Leaver, so I think that’s fair xDDD

How will level 20 accounts be able to play at 11.3 or 10.0 then?

Many new players are forced to leave the game after two vehicles so what real difference is there? You can only run one plane in ARB anyway?

I’m leaving the game for other reasons than just running out of vehicles. I’m leaving for example when I see the match is rigged against my seasonal task, so for example I have to kill SPGs and I’m in a match with literally zero SPGs or heavies etc.

Heck, I’m even leaving the match before it starts on multiple matches in a row until I avoid playing some maps that I don’t want to play. If you keep leaving and re-joining with another nation, it keeps throwing you into same maps, but I don’t care - I have multiple nations researched and I can wait to get on a different map while watching/listening to a youtube video on the second screen. I often have situations where I have penalties on all nations I have lined up for the BR I’m playing, so I just wait until the first lock drops and do it again until I get a different map.

SL penalty is a funny thing to me - you think virtual money would hurt someone playing with premiums? If you’re playing mid-tiers, you’ll quickly start accumulating millions of SL easily with premiums.

As for single vehicle lineups vs premiums - that’s one of the monetisation strategies - let people get in, spend money and get out of the game quickly. Players that spend a lot of time in game but never pay are net loss, while players that spend once and play few days and leave are net gain. Frustrate the newcomers even if it’s a top tier. The will either leave or they may even spend more money to have a lineup.

Just been thinking about this more. Maybe Gaijin should increase earnings from wins & defeats by 50%. However, then put a earnings percentage on something like play time in the battle. So if you leave 25% of the way through the battle, then you only get 25% of the total rewards.

i wouldnt set penalty on it, it would encourage players, especially new ones who only have this one single vehicle…

I think there 2 kinds of player with only 1 Vehicle which leave early.

Premium Players, which only have the one single tank/vehicle for this BR.

,and People who wanna spade their vehicles (Fully unlock all parts of them)


For the (Beginner /) Premium Player
Premium Players have 20 tickets or so for the vehicle as bonus,
though these are fast gone as theyre just new + need to learn the vehicle itself.

I think it would help alot if the Premium “Package Vehicles” been set like “reserve vehicles”,
→ you can spawn them 3 times.

…If this is too heavy, it could be settled down by:

  • Automatically removing the 3 times spawn “reserve vehicle” option, by reach rank : XYZ in its nation tree, idk
    ( the rank the vehicle is on maybe)
  • Also this option could eventually be used only on beginner/new players.
    (locking it player level or whatever, and removing it uppon reaching level XYZ)
  • Or… there could be created “vehicle tasks” for the premium package vehicles that could reward tickets to respawn, that are restriced to this vehicle only.

just a rdm idea, i cant think of any other way, instead of … just live with it, and go on.


For the Vehicle grinder/spader

i really cant think of any solution straight forward.

since premium neutralize all repair costs, it would/could encourage players to play more reckless, faster, and uppon first death directly leaving the battle and go into the next one.

and i cant think of an solution that would balance the experience income for that single vehicle with staying in the battle instead of leave and going for the next one.

This is a band-aid “fix” to a deeper problem. The quote “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” comes to mind

I can’t see taking anything away but I would say if they leave after 1 death before a certain timeframe that you get no SL or RP for that match. Most matches are won or lost based on who has the most tanks.

they wont, that is the case lvl 20 has no right to be in high ranks… but that is the gaijin fault since they said they will never add high premium vehicles but here we are…

Don’t punish leaving.

Reward staying.

no it’s not. they need to forfet all exp. for those games that they only play one game. ab has gotten so bad that i run out of reports within an hour. they got so shitty about reporting them that they extended the time from 10 an hour to 10 every 6 hours. if you’d take the reason they are doing this away, they’d have no reason to do it.

Since the reqard for staying is already enormous, then yes, please do punish leaving!
