I love how the AI can one-shot you while going full speed - even while using WW2 tanks that have no stabilizers…

Hi, I totally agree with what you have identified, I have been playing for a good few years now and the game it’s self although graphically is great the narrow maps and mess that this creates detracks from the game overall. The use of planes " noting that a loosing team still seems to have an abundance of them" is totally unrealistic and being continuiosley targeted when there are multiple playes on the map really pisses me off. One shot one kill when you have crippled an opponant is ludicrus and when you are actully in a plane you have 1-3 fighters up ya ass in second ( i never get that close to a bomber?) and your done. BR ratings seriously need looking at as I’m always in an up tear and getting my ass shot off by tanks i have no chance of competing against, Overall the game has gotten worse I along with my friends are now seriously thinking it’s time to move on. The drudge of trying to get a tank specked out is just ridiculios along with increased crew point and repair costs. Worse thing is Gajin don’t care or seem to listen just take the money. I notice the battle numbers have dropped and so have the players numbers, may be Gajin you should change your ways and listen ???
Merlin, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Your issue is with PvP, this thread is about PvE Ground Assault.
Things that would belong here are along the lines of what happened to me today: in four out of the first five waves I was hit by rockets (blown up twice), and during one of these waves harked by plane cannons already on the way back from respawn to position. Ten players in the group, why do I get all this attention?
Mind, I’m not really asking why this happened, it’s a rhetorical question. Nobody knows for certain how the bot planes choose targets, or those who do know due to an affiliation of sorts with Gaijin won’t say it. I have played a four-digit amount of Ground Assault matches and can’t do anything but guess.

Oh i know the feeling, sometimes i swear there is a gaijin employee taking control of an aircraft to harass me specifically, while there are clusters of teammates in the open just being ignored… ill even notice that both aircraft will target me at certain points, like what the heck lol… is it because im not in a 2s38 with 18+ deaths or aa vehicle with 0 air kills lol… idk
Thus far, ground has been ok-ish from most early brackets, but when you reach between 5.0 to 8.0… my god the win rate is unbearable, which can be attributed to a multitude of factors we have discussd in the past that still remain an issue today…however 8.3+ has been a bit more tolerable provided there is a dedicated aa person as well as a few heli to help slow the rate of encroachment by the ai tanks, ironically.
Would really like to see fixes and improvements… but nothing yet still… keep hoping but nothing seems to change. Usually i just do several matches a night (ensuring 360 for Squadron) and just move to something else…
Last Sunday or Monday I played 14 matches and won 8. That doesn’t come often. Yesterday I queued 11 times, dropped out of four because I refuse to play Sinai since the rework, and much to my surprise the last was a win after I left even though the group (in my eyes) showed no actual interest in winning, blithely ignoring the planes. I will on principle leave any group after being blown up twice by ignored planes. Even if turns out to be a win, it’s not worth the aggravation of being shot to bits right after respawning.
Today I’ve queued (so far) 7 times, dropped out twice of each Sinai and Maginot - let’s face it, respawning in a bomb crater is about as unnecessary as extra pairs of ears on the buttocks - and had two wins, one with the Tiger E in Mozdok and one with the Panzer IV H in Kursk. I guess that’s as good as I can expect on a weekend.
Generally the bot AI isn’t that smart, they’re just very good shots under the most adverse (and ridiculous) circumstances. But the bots do get extra support by the stupidity of some players who are unable to look at the map, or can’t understand what it tells them. I mean, seriously, Japan map, the western spawn in the ditch and the northern one at B3 or B4 are populated, and they just stand in the open field trying to shoot the western bots while they get blasted by the northern ones? Or an IS-2 rushing a batch of M41A1s? This makes me think of people losing every round in Tic-Tac-Toe.
