This is the result of absurd imbalances, awful maps, random damage and penetration models, and the addition of high-end premium vehicles for players who just want to level up quickly. It’s all the devs’ fault, since they’ve directly or indirectly made it disgusting to play entire matches just to give away points and kills to players who are already benefiting from the game. There’s a reason this didn’t happen 8 years ago, and now it happens constantly.

Today I had a funny match. Shortly after it started, my team was wiped out, with at least seven players using ODL and two dead leave (TDL). I managed to kill four enemies before dying and deploy another tank, when I realized the enemy had also started using ODL and TDL thanks to a player who deployed a plane (a premium one, by the way) and killed 15 enemies, and we ended up winning.
Apparently, that’s the balance the devs like, haha.
ODL happens in every game, not just in WT, and it always will because there are thousands of reasons why a player might leave a match.
The core issue lies in the game mode design itself, not with the players.
If WT’s game modes didn’t have this stupid system that forces players to leave the match when they run out of spawn points, this wouldn’t be an issue at all. And even if a player leaves for whatever reason, the game should allow a new player to take their place, keeping both teams equal, at least in terms of player count. This is how it works in most other session based FPS games, but for some reason not in WT.
In Air Sim Battles they already have a working system that allows players to respawn repeatedly as long as they have enough SL. New players can also join matches that are already in progress.
They are now testing similar mechanics in the Nuclear Escalation event, so perhaps they will eventually apply this system to other game modes as well.
I have already suggested a new alternative game mode for mixed GRB matches that would address this issue and some others, but for some reason the mods haven’t passed it to the devs yet.
Check it out if you’re interested, and vote if you like or dislike the idea. You can also leave a comment to bump the post :)
it will continue till AIR is no longer in ground mode
