It’s not even 5 minutes into the game
Germany + USSR, so I guarantee their entire comp at this BR range(11.7) was a T80U-E1 or Leo 2A4M
It needs to stop. Just give premium vehicles above 10.7 a guaranteed backup every game. I don’t even care anymore, it’s just not fun to watch these game
I’ve pretty much stopped playing top tier and am a 5.0/7.7 enjoyer instead. Top tier is repetitive, boring and unbalanced. I can have so much fun in my WW2/early CW era tank games lasting 15+ minutes as opposed to 10.7+ being ‘who’s light tanks can rush and wipe out the 1-death premium users the fastest’

10.7 is the same, and 9.3 Soviet teams are a bunch of BMD-4M’s running in head first.

I played some 8.7BR recently, and quite a few of the games I had felt like they were over as they started. I noticed a bad offender in this regard is the map Ardennes as the enemy team were just able to pick us off and start spawncamping us if we ended up on the south spawn. Even if I fought back, it was one or two enemies defeated and then back to the hangar, because there are too many places the enemy can shoot you from.

Guys, it happens for a little while after every sale 😂 It will happen again in Oct/Nov when the Anniversary Sale goes live. Try not to stress about it too much, and/or play a different BR bracket until it cools off. The money the company gets from the sales helps keep the server hamsters fed so we can all keep playing. It comes with the territory.

Thing is, what can be done? longer crewlocks? Tb half of the problem is the maps. Most matches are decided in the first 4 minutes so its fruitless to keep playing.

Make crew locks take 30 minutes to 1 hour, that’ll teach 'em. Too many salty teenagers in this game. They die once and they quit, even at BR 5.0 - 8.0. They seeth with rage because they stink at the game.
Ngl, since back-ups are a limited resource, i never use them. This wouldnt change how i play at all.
I bet more back-ups would still have a near zero impact.

Yep exactly this
Ive got like 800 backups at this point that i dont use cause i just dont want to go buy more of them
I wouldn’t be so sure about it… Good thing is Gaijin added new mechanic so you can see what vehicles your team is using in match, so check by yourself.
Most players have lineups, but people don’t want to spawn more than once.
It has many reasons:
- Bad map
- Uptiers
- CAS
- Grind (Grind is easier with just 1 vehicle)
- Crew (Crew lvl is crucial, low lvl crew can repair track in about 30-40sec, while researched crew 15-20, it’s big difference. Also low keen vision = soundless enemies)
All this makes game less enjoyable, so people found best way to enjoy and please don’t start talking about team gameplay and trying to win. What is profit in winning if i have to repair 5-6 vehicles and throw away all silver i got in match.
Betting time: what happened next?
“Yes, a hit!”
I wonder how long this would be allowed to go on if it was Russian instead of British?
Not a good idea since crashing/dying due to lag/packet loss will still give you a crew lock.
Don’t most of the good players in War Thunder play multiple nations?
I agree
Carpathians at top tier is a joke
I get so irritated with playing this game during sales and holiday weekends. Trash teams on top of the other gaijin created problems that they seem indifferent to fix despite them beating themselves in the profits by pushing players away. Don’t expect to keep customers paying your bills when you give them a terrible experience, frustration and no fun. I’m no top skill player, middling at best, but middling is where the core of your profits are, one standard deviation from the mean average. I’m not motivated to buy more vehicles when you fail to tap the brains reward center.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the T26E5 has layered armor on the turret, so what you see in protection analysis isn’t the whole picture since it doesn’t show the armor underneath.
That doesn’t matter, at all. Why would anyone want to have to stop playing vehicles for up to an hour because the game itself caused them to crash? That’s truly an awful take.
oh shit did I post this here? Meant to put it on the hesh post
Top tier needs to be more accessible, the issue is that a handful of experienced players can dominate. I don’t think anything can be done about the skill disparity, however if more of the playerbase had access to more of the vehicles the issue might be less frequent.
It was the same state with 20:25 time left
It’s almost impossible to enjoy this BR
you’re delusional if you think this will go away, been playing since 2016 and all i remember is premium spam even back then.
this game is a mess thanks to gaijin selling crapton of cheap premiums to people who couldnt even find the rangefinder bind to calculate shots.
