stop, yer killin’ me.
oh, so you’re an idiot that can’t read, because too much information will blow up his head? Yeah…
Ironic.
Yeah, copy the internet meme thinking you are cool when you didn’t understand that this doesn’t work here in this direction when you’re the one that doesn’t have any idea how the networking works…
Can you guys go to the off-topic section?
Because those same people come to the forum to voice their opinions regarding the game that I enjoy.
And how are arcade player opinions invalid, given the majority of people play AB.
Like, the majority of WT’s playerbase plays AB.
I find that incredibly hard to believe. Whenever i try and give arcade a shot, i never get to queue into a match, similar to if i try and queue naval. Also the player counter in the server tab is far less than whenever i queue for a normal rb match that almost always queues instantly
There is no need for believing anything. A bit over a year ago, a forum member did investigate the gamemode popularity.
This is done by the number of games according to the replay system weighted by the average length of the matches. So it should be fairly representative.
There was an issue with air sim replays at the time so you would have to ignore Air SB, we should look at the most popular 4 modes anyway: AAB ARB GAB and GRB.
Of these modes Ground RB is by far the least popular, even though the forum suggests otherwise.
Air RB and Air AB are pretty much the same and share second place, both being played at least twice as much as Ground RB.
And the winner, for the most popular gamemode, by far, is Ground AB.

That makes sense, the majority of the player base are casuals that mostly play arcade air or ground and never stepped into the forums. Seeing the ground RB players as one of the most vocal is no surprise due to the problems of that gamemode.
When I play a game where everything goes smoothly, I never engage in forums. Warthunder on the other hand, here we are…
Well, that would be fine if they didn’t inject themselves into the general subsection or the subsections of the other gamemodes.
The game does not revolve around them. Demonstrably so.

Why are you so caught up with players ‘overstepping’ right now Der?
I passed this knowledge on the game chat to have people in there constantly deride me merely mentioning that there’s a true formula and method to point out wih the old ‘rendering tanks’ issue.

Hmm, interesting data. I do remember being able to queue in a premium leopard 1 decently easy enough. Never tried queuing with my 11.7 lineup however.
While its outside the scope of the data, it would be useful to see the br ranges at play, since there is most definitely a dropoff of queues the further you up in br for air arcade. Long queue times at even just 5.0ish is one of the primary reasons why i switched off air arcade.
Right now?
I always am.
And the reason is simple, if you use the forums as Feedback from the players, this feedback becomes useless thanks to them.
Because if you have an arcade problem and post in the arcade section and the very same thing causes no issue in RB. Then you will find RB players loudly proclaiming the issue doesn’t exist (even though they are in the arcade section). From the view of an external reader that it isn’t clear whether the issue exists in AB or not, since to an external reader those RB players disagreeing appear as AB players since it’s the arcade subsection.
The same thing in the general section, just go into the section and count the threads that should belong into the RB section, how many are there 30% of the general threads actually not being about general topics?
And it usually aren’t the AB or SB players doing it. It’s almost exclusively RB players.
It’s a section for universal topics, those that are regardless of gamemode. Like discussions about research, tech trees and so on. And there is an RB section, they choose to post their threads in general.
I don’t know if it is incompetence and they don’t check the section they are in when they reply.
Or if it is arrogance, that their mode is the most important, which is why the other modes definately need to know the situation of RB or that their issues are soooo important that it should be adressed as a general issue.
I don’t know but this happens to a degree that it ruins discussions of the other modes. And it is usually from RB players.

None of this applies to this thread though as ALL the mechanics in this thread applies to ALL modes.
No matter what people try and make out ‘doesn’t matter’.

It applies to the whole game, but does not impact RB as much so RB players come here without even realizing that this is the Arcade Battle section and say this is not a problem because it does not affect RB while skipping the whole thread and then get defensive when called out on their crap
Nah, it does.
Doesn’t matter if the thread is in the arcade section, if I know about the stat and what it genuinely does, then you’re gatekeeping to try say I shouldn’t be posting here.
Common misconception is that the minimap rendering is the be-all and end-all of it, which that’s nonsense, as you can see a player without having them on the minimap in AB. Keen vision ties into this as well, and thus it comes back to a formula, which all of the stats, and skills apply everywhere.
Commonly people only think that it’s limited, and choose to make out that certain things don’t apply, which is wrong in many cases.

I am not gatekeeping, I only asked for some offtopic discussions to be discussed elsewhere. My problem is with people like sneedsellsfeed trying to gatekeep arcade threads because their world revolves around them
Der is gatekeeping as he gets upset at people commenting in a few threads with a ‘stay in your lane’ mentality.
The fact is Sneed is wrong on the first posts, so that’s established.
