If you’ve played this game long enough, you’ll remember certain features that are now lost to the community such as premium free BR’s. It wasn’t too long ago top tier was the last bastion of hope for high-skilled players to enjoy new vehicles and game innovating updates.
Today, I don’t see much hope for this game. Every ground and almost every air BR is plagued with premium players spamming incredibly cheap and tanks using obnoxious tactics. Remember back when all the vehicles very extremely expensive and 8.0 was a game of Leopard 1’s hiding behind walls for 10 or 20 min until someone drove past them? The severe lack of skill from premium players has reignited this age old tactic. Problematically now every premium player has access to the best SPAA in the game, removing the need for grinding tech trees. I open a match at maybe 10.7 or 12.0 and legitimately see 90% or more premium tanks.
Gaijin has poisoned that sht out of this game with greed and most tiers are unrecognizable. I’m very close to calling it quits for this game. I was addicted for years, but with experience comes the realization that there was a good thing that’s now gone. I get it gaijin wants to make money but this isn’t playable anymore, just a playground for kids with premiums who leave after 1 or 2 deaths.
I’ve already seen prem players complaining about the stock tank. If Gaijin doesn’t buff them they’ll simply leave or pollute the game with pointless SPAA.
Sadly I’m still seeing nublets one death leave. Not surprisingly. Though, I laughed earlier… had an Abrams player mouthing off to the team and he died first. One death left out of embarrassment. I guess there’s nothing that can stop people one death leaving out of embarrassment or shame.
Wassup kid. Leopard being 8.0 is recent times. 7.3 was peak Leopard 1. Now it’s just autocannon food.
My solutions would permanent 3 spawns + random SPAA/SAM when using 1 vehicle in the line up. might be too much to ask Gaijin though, doubt they would take this route.
Quite correct. It was fun killing q couple light tanks but as soon as I came upon a soviet MBT I could not kill him even though he had skill issues and had to shoot me 4 times.it reminded me of the stock HEAT grind on the leclercs (They were 12.0 and still at rabk 7 with stock heat for some fucking reason). Never again.
I am moat mad about it since I skipped the foldered S2 because of stock heat and got to the SXXI and then they moved the first two up and gave them Heat. I could have actually had more than 1 leclerc in an actual lineup for way longer but no it had to be stock heat.
I agree with this; top tier and many brs like 10.3 and 10.7 are completely ridden with full premium line ups, sure they added the free vehicles to play with but all they’ve done is ruin top tier CAS with the amount of SPAA spawn in after 9 ~12 mins of a match; i cannot fathom the amount of times ive lost because of these.
Team mates = Enemies in blue
Premium players = Either really dumb or an og player
I personally will opt to ODL under the following circumstances:
I am spading only a single vehicle, and thus have only one vehicle intentionally in my deck.
The map I got was utter trash, usually if its obnoxiously campy, which means that by the time the first wave from both teams has come and gone, the survivors have dug in and there are no routes to dig them out through or go around them with thanks to continual shrinking of maps.
I just died in an expensive vehicle to repair, and am not interested in potentially losing more SL on a game that looks already done.
Either my team is sweeping and I wouldn’t be able to get back to action before game end or my team is being swept up and its hopeless to bother continuing.
I was uptiered and my uptier insurance just died. Not about to spawn a piece of target practice in addition to having to fight through a campy shitbox map (example a Maus in an 8.7 game).
Give me varied and interesting gameplay and I’ll stay to the end consistently even in what looks like a loss, because I’ll be enjoying myself so thoroughly I won’t care much about win or loss or grind in general anymore.
This is just a shit way to play. I alway spade vehicles in lineups since a lineup makes it easier to contribute to winning after 1 death and makes it easier to get the bonus for winning
Yea… that 5 free daily backups ain’t enough lol Reason why they start ODL is because they most likely ran out of it. For those grinding for more than 5 games a day will begin to ODL which is a huge number of players doing so. I strongly believe Permanent 3 spawns would help a lot just like the M-51 that Israel has to keep them fighting in the match for that comeback.
It may be “shit,” but for me, primarily when spading SPAAGs I knew had not the slightest hope against nearly all tanks they could ever encounter, it was enough. I would take the SPAAG I was spading and one plane to optionally use. If I got a shit map, I would die fast and leave with no crew lock. If I got lucky in a match, that was funny.
I had by that point long since realized that team victory chance was total RNG and not worth putting much stock in - I can do everything right within my control only for the rest of the team to suck glue and I get overrun. Thus I stopped trying.
