Scaling BR brackets or severe decompression - kind of the same outcome.
We retain the 1.0 difference until about 6.0. 6.0 can get both 1.0 and 0.7.
Over 6.0, we reduce to 0.7. Over 10, we may or may not reduce it further - I only got 10.3 plane experience so cannot comment how bad it is over 10.3/11.3. And the numbers are more informed by ARB than GRB, GRB might be able to manage until 7.0 rather than 6.0.
Very annoying repeatedly dying to things that it has no counter against, sometimes as early as 2 minutes into the game, and hadn’t even rolled out of the spawn point yet. Sometimes realistic ain’t fun, I rather have fun over realistic bro
This might work indeed
It could even fix the J-35 issue, which is basically the same as the Maus but for air lol
I think there should definitely be a big BR gap between FOX-3 carriers and aircraft without FOX-3s, but i don’t really know how we could put this, I’m not sure reducing it to 0.7 would fix that.
Hadn’t taken it out in months, probably closing in one year, getting bombed way too much and it has annoyed me enough not to play it anymore, playing this thing sometimes motivates me enough to bind a one-touch key to leave the vehicle instantly when bombs land near me to deny their kill lol
I would advise to grind the maus a month after the event. Usually the matchmaker is really bad during the maus event because many people still try to grind to unlock rank 5
In response to the OP I would say the Maus is the symbol of the point where the game unravels as something that is sensible, believable and fun.
At that point the game descends into lunacy and a stupidity that asks too much of its player base.You can only suspend disbelief so much.
WT after 7 is not for me at all. I certainly speak for myself but I doubt I am alone on this.
It gets silly at around 6.7 but when you are in a slow old WW2 tank facing fast opponents with modern ammo with no mods its a chore and a bore.
The game later on is mostly about firing from a hidden position anyway so talking about thin armour on fast cold war AFVs is mute. Fat chance of even reaching cover in your old plodding WW2 tank with no mods. And how many games do they want you to play before you can even get a fire extinguisher or parts? Nah f*** that. Cant be arsed. I’ll stick to 1-6 BR and you can stick your Maus where the sun does not shine and all the rest of the mid tier stupidity with it.
The post isn’t really about the Maus as much as its about trying to make sense of a truly ridiculous game.
They should delete the stupid thing and claw some sense of respect back for the game but they never will. Best to paint the Maus pink ,cover them in anime pillows and join in the stupidity if that is your thing .That is how War Thunder is going and it why I stopped advancing and cancelled premium.I know others have as well. Each to their own I guess.
Just treat the game as a bit of a joke and dont give it any thought.Not surprising so many are simply trolling or leaving after one death.
Good old days will never be back, game had a lot of dumb things back then as well, Maus wasn’t as tanky as it is right now. What I’m doing right now is taking Maus with Weisel and some CAS jets. If I see someone spawning a leopard - I’m not spawning my Maus. It’s that simple.
Good old days are over and forgotten, but no one stops you from bringing them back yourself. But tbh, this game was never as serious as you think it was, nerdy war machinery’s community will always consist of some kind of freaks (one way or another) and this is precisely the reason why it’s one of the best ones. Anime girl on a Maus is somewhat accurate. This is the game about weapons, do not disregard those who wield them. They are us - boys and girls with precious lives and memories. If we’re risking them, might as well have some fun along the way. Yes, by putting an anime girl pillow on my death machine. Yes, by writing “OwO” on my heavy bomber bringing death to the whole cities. Soldiers are people and people always find ways to have fun even in the darkest pits of hell.
Well i agree generally here but 7.0 seems a bit harsh for the enemies, just imagine hellcats trying to kill you. It would be hella fun but 7.3 ARB/GRB seems to be the better option
I’ve been proposing the same thing for years. All the good old heavies should be reworked, some rounds should be taken away from them, like heat-fs for M103 and then they should be introduced as solid 7.7. Which means adding an uptier cap of 7.7, which is the last br where they can somewhat breathe while not being blantantly OP. Just let them play 7.7 and never higher, that would solve everything and wouldn’t introduce any new problems to the topic. Everyone is happy, no one is forced to suffer, steady flow of heavy tanks enjoyers for mid-br’s is guaranteed. It’s so obvious, but I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t just do it.
