Useless teammates

I know it’s an old topic on this game. But feels like recently it has been getting worse and worse. It’s so frustrating seeing at least 4 teammates just go to the edge of the map and try to immediately spawn camp, or just stop before a point and not move at all. It’s especially frustrating seeing the whole team go to one point, cap and just stay there the entire game while the enemy caps the other points and spawn camps the rest of the players.

I don’t know if it’s just me or I’ve never payed attention to it before but this player base seems to get more annoying by the day. In addition the people who only bring one vehicle, like the ITPSV or other tank, die and just leave if they don’t get a nuke.

Has it always been this bad or just getting worse for a long time?

This has always been a single player game.

I don’t want to be rude, but I feel like this mentality is exactly why this game is going to shit. People just play for themselves and kills, not capping objectives or anything. When I get a team that actually goes for caps more often that not the game is won.

You can be rude or you can be polite, doesn’t change a thing. In this game you have enemies in blue and enemies in red.

You want to kill the enemies in red because it advances your progress in the game. You ideally don’t want to help the enemies in blue because if they get the kills/caps that isn’t helping you advance. Sure people will help a blue enemy, but only if they gain from doing it too otherwise you’re just shooting yourself in the foot.

The difference between a win and a loss for bonus RP/SL is negligible now. Far more important to focus on maximising own kills for progress now.

Sadly that is true

CrimsonCastle, this is one of my annoying frustrations the last two or three years…However I have only ever played Air RB, it is the same thing.
The quality of the gameplay for me has totally dropped, and to me the main reason is they are so concerned with making money and adding all these Premium packs where players can join in BR ratings that take some experience, with no experience at all.
I might add I found Warthunder in Beta when I was looking for a good online chess game, which up until a few years ago, it was a battle “chess game”
I have lost a lost of interest, but when I do play I might as well kill all the noobs while Im at it.

This game has no good tutorials, an insanely misinformed community full of idiots, easy access to the highest ranks in the game and a gameplay loop focused around prioritizing yourself.

So, no wonder the teams suck

So gaijin should increase rewards for caps or assists or both, decrease the gain from kills while in the enemy detection zone/ enemy spawn, otherwise people will continue to spawn rush in hopes of getting as many kills as possible.
Another problem is, the average person that does this has no game sense whatsoever, so they end up wasting 5 minutes hiding or riding the edge of the map just to get killed.
I don’t know if it’s a good idea, but increase the RP or SL gain or both, from winning AND losing, so matches have a chance of being longer instead of ending in 5 minutes because everyone leaves.

The problem is most of these idiots think they are right and are egotistical beyond belief. They do the same thing over and over again and complain that the game is shit. Granted, a lot is wrong with this game, but when a player only plays one country, and complains it’s underperforming, something is wrong.

Exactly
I’m always right
