War Thunder Hottakes

Loads of other successful f2p games monetize their game through cosmetics-only, which obviously don’t change the gameplay at all.
But here’s Gaijin, ruining entire tiers just because of their profits.

From my experience, their tanks are pretty easy to deal with, especially when using something with a very weak dart like HSTV-L.

US mains are the worst in the game, not German.

I am dead serious (no seriously I’m dead, I got killed by the imposter).

¯_(ツ)_/¯

planes bad, historical anything is horrible, teamkilling should be on, i shouldnt suffer cause i got an uptier (no cooldown for quitting a game essentially), and delete the soviet union

Considering the current clusterfuck in Jet AB and Jet RB, implementing supersonic jets and AAM was a completey biggest mistake ever in this game and the top tier should have remained the Sabre and MiG-17, Hunter.

As one of Japanese, I have never heard “hottake” or its equivalent in Japan before.

CAS in 99% of cases doesnt counter campers.

Also mode without planes would have 0 issues, since artilery can be used to counter campers.(little buff to damage)

Adding the Panther II, Flakpanzer 341 and Tiger II 10.5 to War Thunder was the greatest decision Gaijin ever made, and they all should go and cry in a shower for what they did to us germans.

Is this really the only opinion you have on these forums? Damn.

No, I hold various other opinions. For example apfsds (solid shot/kinetic ammo in general) being all scuffed and APHE with big pen and filler being the single best tank ammo. Or that Vehicle Gatekeeping is a cancer that needs to be cut out. Jets are overrated and missiles suck. Realism is overrated. Missile SPAA’s are completely busted OP and ruin all CAS gameplay, thus should be nerfed greatly. Etc.

Surely

Soviet tanks are not OP.
2017 tanks being equal to tanks from 1999 & 2002 means they’re not OP.
BVM fires a round that performs like Challenger 2’s, Leclerc’s, and Type 99A’s; All with bad turret armor, and yes Leclerc & Ariete share in the bad turret armor department, tho Ariete gets DM53 to make up for that.

youre right, theyre not op, theyre extremely op ‘‘bad turret armour’’ i love how a t-64 can shrug off 337mm apsfds cause Fuck you

it’s twice as true in the air compared to on the ground

He was talking about BVM and yeah, he is right about BVM having comically weak turret.

For me it’s a lot of small things that add up, like overperforming carousel spall liner on T-80 BVM, Kamov damage model, and Russia apparently being the only nation to have ERA with kinetic protection.

“T-64 turret OP” is nonsense though

The USSR and China being the only ones with strong ERA versus kintetic munitions is pretty accurate, the west never placed such emphasis on ERA that is meant to protect against such munitions
