Like many of you - I find a constant issue with terrible teams.
I think it stems from the issue that any given team (in the case of ground battles) - want as many kills as possible and a win.
However they want to achieve this via as little effort or as little brainpower as possible.
They want the win and lots of kills - as long as someone does it for them or enables them.
People want the results - without putting in the effort - which ultimately ends in people leaving after 1 or 2 deaths.
People see social media posts and youtube shorts and think - I want to be that guy, it looks cool.
But proceed to use mindless strategy’s or 1 use strategy’s - that end up in 1 or 2 death leavers.
They dont question themselves or their method - they only care about the desired outcome.
That is why you get alot of 1 death leavers and incompetent teams - they are so obsessed with being the best or getting lots of kills rp etc - they cannot consider the mentality/actions or strategy of the enemy team or that they are actively trying to kill them.
If players simply done what they SHOULD do or NEED to do - rather than what they WANT to do - they may have some success.
An analogy would be a boxing match - the desperate guy knows he needs to KO the other guy to win - and so his narrow minded strategy is to walk in the centre of the ring swinging his arms like a windmill - meanwhile his opponent is just there to do his job - who throws out 1 punch and ko’s him with timing.
The teams are majority “desperate guys”. - They can play over 1000+ matches and not see any issue with this approach and reflect on their method/actions.
This has become far too common these days.
I personally exploit these players and I have a never-ending supply of them.
My conclusion - that the majority of the playerbase have absolutely 0 comprehension of absolutely anything outside of where they are looking on the map (if they even do) or outside of their gunsight - (even when they miss or look down it).
It is like the difference between a skilled racecar driver with awareness vs a “racecar” driver who thinks the only skill you need is to press down the throttle.
Constant lemming trains when it is definitely not needed and to a cap point that is not needed - but when you do need a lemming train - there isn’t one or goes to the wrong point.
It is as though people have this amazing, superhuman expectation of themselves - but get into battle - doesn’t happen/achieve their goals - then they quit.
Is anyone here to actually play the bloody game, play well, have fun or are the majority just here to use to use the most ineffective method to grind to top tier for a game they do not enjoy or perform well in?
I highly doubt you could find a game that trolls it’s own playerbase by the mentality of it’s own playerbase than Warthunder.
I think the general mentality is “I want fuck loads of kills and a win, lots of RP and SL- Hopefully I can play like an absolute braindead muppet and the rest of the team will somehow cater for me” - - - - meanwhile the entirety of your team has this mentality apart from 1 or 2.
Also too dumb to recognise patterns/outcomes.
I honestly think bots would be better.
Anyhow, maybe I could relieve my stress and adopt the ignorance is bliss mentality of 99% of players - go into match thinking I am the only person there with a gun.
Until then - expect me to have the most deaths and kills on the team for working towards the actual goal rather than being a crap player who left after 1 death due to doing something stupid whilst having the expectation of achieving 26 kills whilst doing nothing of significance.
