It’s not the first time today that I’ve had to play with a team that IGNORED all the flags, focusing only on killing other players or driving and speeding into a wall and shooting at it, trying to kill someone on the other side. I really can’t believe it’s so hard to read and understand that the game has a goal—CAPTURE AND DEFEND THE POINTS. Why do people play this as if it were Team Deathmatch?
It seems to me that this is something much worse, but no one on the forums is talking about it.

You’re wrong, because bots actually capture points. It’s why I set my customs to Battle, otherwise Bots will end the game early when I’m just enjoying various historical battles (China and Russia versus Britain and US for example in Korea)

If you’re playing top tier that tracks. Most of the times nobody wants to actually play the game in 11.0+ the vast majority of the players in those lobbies just buy premiums, they try to get a kill or two then go back to the hanger. They don’t care about playing points they just wanna get some quick RP. I completely understand where you’re coming from thinking it’s bots, (which maybe it is sometimes idk) I think it’s just players trying to speed run tech trees

I have this same feeling. A lot of times I’m busy holding a point and when i see, the entire team is camping far behind the zones, or just moving around without cap or defend. If are not bots, the player base is very terrible, below average.

Or they all go to one of the 3 points, cap, ignore the other 2 completely and lemming train into the enemy spawn and die.

I feel like it’s an issue of games ending faster at higher tiers too.
Many maps aren’t made for top tier, and you’ll always have one guy who flanks around the entire map and starts sniping your team in your spawn, causing you to lose the game.
This happens especially on Fire Arc, Red Desert, and worst of all, Campania (ironic name). It leads to whoever can spawncamp first and ignore the objectives until the enemy team is gone, which I hate but it’s the way the game is designed right now.

Welcome war thunder 2026, which team has more cheaters and less bots, wins. Play CIS, that servers has less cheaters and bots.

Couldn’t have said it better myself brother. Most of the maps feel like they shouldn’t be in top tier
If its premium br then it checks out. Bots are more intelligent than average wallet warrior. And they actually do the job.
Also youtubers might be part of this problem. Ones that claim stuff like “victory doesnt matter”, “team too dumb to deserve help”, “just spawncamp and farm kills” etc. But I said might because I dont how strong their influence is.

That, and the fact that games like Call of Duty popularise KD ratios over helping and aiding the team. You especially find it on here, where if people are losing arguments, they’ll pull up KD ratios as if that matters more than… attempting to win.
