If the grind is the reason for ODL or the costs/p2w elements are an issue i made this thread Would War Thunder be a better game if they dropped Free To Play?
Yep.
Also play to fun scenario is quite difficult to achieve consider MM based system where most players will have just one relevant queue for they and even then you have to deal with stuff you would rather not deal with like maps or for some CAS. Server based PvP games are much better in this case where you can choose server with most optimal settings that fits you so fun is maximized.

Given my recent events in this game,I found that play to the end when I have
1: A full line up at a certain BR ,eg Germany at 6BR, USA at 6.7,Russia at 4BR etc etc
2 : when every vehicle is modded fully or most of them anyway.
3: I have a map that I can use at least some of my chosen line up.
4: I have no agenda except having some fun,and War Thunder can be,lets not be totally negative : )
I ODL when 1: I have an agenda. Like Battle pass.
2: I have only one vehicle at a certain BR due to line up.Either premium or just the way the line up is for for lesser nations.
3: Quite a new one but on big maps on lower tiers I simply cant be bothered to drive so far for so long. Amplified by unmodded vehicles losing 80 BHP and doing 6MPH top speed.
4: The uptier but not just any uptier.I mean the full uptier when all or most of my line up are unmodified and I am firing poor ammo and doing a quarter of my top speed with no repair kit or FFE
With ODL Gaijin makes a rod for its own back and it likes to share the pain.

I’m sorry looking back at my post a couple days ago not realizing the 50% off and japan ground only event coinciding made me realize it was not harsh enough. This company deserves nothing.
I tend to ODL when we get stomped like tonight where I achieve like a 30% winrate despite being in the top 5-6 in each matches doing good while the rest of the teams are just bad or unlucky.
Why should I punish myself in higher repair cost and being spawnfarmed when I already got 3-4 kills, a cap and a couple assists before dying.
If the match goes well, I use a universal backup and stay in the fight, if the team get stomped, I GTFO and try my luck in another match.
I’m tired of the quality of the players that I get paired with, it’s not their fault, but it’s not mine either, they need to implement a ranked mode where you get a rating like in siege for example where bronze play with bronze and so on so we can expect to have teammates with skill levels somewhat similar to ours.
It would benefit everyone, good and bad players, help them improve too without being too frustrated and I would gladly then bring full lineups but for now it’s just not enjoyable.
And I don’t care what poeple think about that, I’m playing a game to have fun, not to please other poeple.

to be fair when i look at account users who die by 1 death leaving i end up needing to report them due to them being a bot account user with premium vic.
i never leave after 1 death though but there are so many bot accounts out there now that i need to report at least 3 people each match due to this BS
If 1 minute after respawn you get hit and die by one hit. How not to get out. Mean on spawn!

True, that’s valid reason to ditch a battle
Your not superior to anyone am not either where did you get that from?
This is from October of last year, so im guessing i can wait another 6 months for a reply but since its hard for you to re-read what you put i outlined it for you.

Turret Basket, since with the addition of turret basket to USA,GER,SWEEDISH tanks it became more frustating to play with that countries. Getting 1 shot and your whole tank is immobilize is not worth spawning. Before i could spawn my full lineup, but after that horrible addition it is not even worth it.

My attention span is about the size the of Delaware compared to Russia.
And it gives me another chance in next match with new circumstances.
Some circumstances when I will leave after 1 death
- When there’s 3 caps, 14 of my team goes to one cap, then on toward enemy spawn right after that
- Ash River - when my team won’t leave spawn areas and just camps
- Abandoned Factory when the lemming train heads to the warehouses on the hill, opposite side of map from the water/railroad tracks - EVEN WHEN THE LONE CAP IS AT THE WATER SIDE.
- When my “team-mates” give no support and just sit there looking to improve their K/D ratio
So basically it’s because of the team I get stuck with. I’m just an average player, but if I see my team is not making a reasonable attempt to complete the objective, I bail. I’m not wasting my time being a target so the others can skeet-shoot.

le stock grind at 11.0 just want to be in and out asap
I sincerely am always amazed that people can post this and not see the irony…
YOU are one of the guys you are complaining about…if you LEAVE you are NOT “making a reasonable attempt to complete the objective”…
If you stay and fight, the odds of your team improve and there are less chances another one of your team mates also leaves…
I was several times on teams where someone leaves with a sarcastic comment to the team…and we end up winning…
You don’t have to have a perfect team…only one that is not worse than the enemy :))))))

Nope.
Any time I have stayed under the conditions I listed above the team loses. Badly.
Those battles are a frustrating waste of time and are lost in the first 2 min. I see the same pattern every time. By the time I leave there’s already 2 or 3 others that have recognized the futility of the crap team we have been stuck with. All the while THE OTHER TEAM IS PLAYING THE OBJECTIVE.
Why should I waste my time when the team won’t even try? I have 6 other countries I can play while I wait for the timer to reset for that one country.
Another one for my list… recently had a battle where enemy team had 2 squads of 2 players versus none for our team. It was a curb-stomp. I stupidly stayed until the end and wasted my time. Gonna look for that ridiculous matchmaking in the future.
Reminds me of another one… mid BR lvl (4.7-6.7) and a teamate squads in a friend with reserve tanks. Then the two of them go on to die 3x quickly without contributing to the team, but certainly helping the other side by removing our tickets as they die.
The list goes on and on and on…

I have to agree, I also don’t like how some idiots can’t play it! There are 3 fields but everyone goes for 1 point out of 3 as if everyone has some advantage from that and then you lose the whole game to such idiots! Other things are some maps that are either unplayable or it stops being fun when you grab the same map 20 times in a row! So why not make a vote on making all the maps in the game possible for all playable BRs. and not by BR of vehicles! But have open maps for all BRs!

Just seeing a full squad from a squadron alone is a good sign to nope on out of that match.
