Me: Played War Thunder and bought another vehicle.
Steam:
Me: Realization, over 10.000 hours played, 1€ per hour average spend.
And all to just unlock half the contends of this game.
All the soul crunching grinding, all the suffering through frustratingly good players, Gaijins poor neglectfull gamedesign and Bugs and Glitches.
I did not felt “Pride and Accomplishment”, i felt:
My passion for zooming and booming vehicles has led me down a dark path.
Its a false perception that Gaijin does nothing to dispel.
There is no end to War Thunder because they are always adding content. Something I don’t think ppl used to games you can finish don’t realize when they start.
WT doesn’t have an “end game” - it is a grind machine that they continually add more “new” content to to keep you grinding.
It’s a hard addiction to break f’sure 😒
No such thing as end game in WT.
That realization put me off the first time I tried playing. That an that you can’t just play whatever you want, but that it takes literal years to get there.
I’m mostly interested in WW2 - so the majority of my games are in that era and I (mostly) just play them to enjoy them :)
I’d say end game is realizing you got the vehicles you like and ignoring the grind just for the gameplay that is fun.
It’s somewhat akin to other MMOs joking that the end game is fashionscape because at that point you’re free to do whatever you want.
you didn’t show the rewards . . . lol
Woulda been a nice touch to add a title - “Collector”, for those of us that have gotten this far . . . . . much harder to get than God of War
. . “underwhelming” just doesn’t seem quite right . . . .lol
I spent <$0.20 per hour in-game, and with that I completed all ten air trees, most ground trees, and a chunk of helicopters and naval.
As someone that absolutely despises PVP as a game type, War Thunder’s alright.
That and half my hours spent in-game are in test drives, custom matches, and researching stuff.
I mostly buy the stuff you need to spend money on. Premium and event vehicles.
Spending money on teh techtree is mostly a waste.
As most premium and event vehicles are supirior to there techtree equivalent, in one way or another-
The best vehicles in the game are tech tree.
Depends on which premium we are talking about and their reflective TT variants
Wouldn’t a Tiger H1 OST be considered better than the TT variant? same BR with more armor, or does the TT variant have an advantage i’m unaware of?
They have the same armor.
Tracks would be negligible against all but 75mm Jumbo, but even prior to that the 75mm Jumbo barely penned with APCR if they were flat on.
Sometimes a marginal armor improvement helps [M4A2], sometimes it’s not as notable.
Depends on the BR and how much it is, especially when Tiger’s armor comes from angling which the tracks don’t help against as much as one would think cause the ideal angle doesn’t change due to the uncovered parts.
Man, yea, gaijin is very sneaky about it, doesn´t change that premiums have advantages over there techtree counterparts.
Just look at the french strasbourg. Its literally the dunkerque with some extra armor and AA. Not enough to justify a BR in increase, but still, better.
And it’s not a premium.
i started in january and am halfway thru the russian and swedish air tree and fully done with the french one, how the hell are people taking years to grind their stuff man
i play most of my games in CW and late ww2 BRs. Those BRs are the most fun where armor and stuff are actually still useful but not everything is seal clubbing
Its in the Premium Line and you have to buy it, thats the definition of a premium for gaijin. No matter where it is from and no matter if it has a SL bonus or not.
The first halfs are the easy part and getting one techtree done from 44 is not a big accomplishment in comparisen.
my main nation is italy and at top tier it suffers because italian tanks have to be precise and my biggest malus is that I play from ps5
