THey can put a stop to this by giving us Tank Only mode.
If I want to drive around my tiger, shermans, t-34 and wacky WW2 one-off-prototypes, I want to actually do that and not…
OK, I leave and go back to ASB and spawn a plane and forget about GRB for a few weeks again.
You are a very selective reader if that is on there as less than 1% of people commenting here and outing themselfes as 1DL have statisfied that condition even remotely.
So either less than 1% somehow made your list, meaning your 3 points cover 100% of the replies, which they do not, or you are just making stuff up.
I really enjoy the Leviathans update outing which of your teammates only bring one vehicle its amazing to see half of your team will 1DL no matter what
Bringing 1 vehicle and leaving is by the very definition not 1dl
Its a game feature and intended.
1dl is a punishable offence, bringing one vehcile and dying then leaving is not punished, ergo its not 1dl
It’s kind of weird to see the “what’s the reason for 1dl” question being answered here with the argument that players need to be punished if they do it… Etc.
The author of the thread asked for the reason, not what you think of it or not.
… and then there’s also talk of selfish gameplay… kinda funny. Is that selfish commenting then?
It’s the most base form of it
No. Again you are not reading right, you have a beliefe and interpret everything and anything that is being said to fit your believes.
its called selective and biased reading
You’re right my bad i should bring one vehicle to the 16 player team that allows for like 10 crew slots per player
sorry to hear that facts hurt you so much
🎯
Would love to try a tank only mode and not have to concern myself with being bombed, rocketed or a missile attack by an aircraft before I can get out of spawn.
As for the 1DL, not a fan of it but some circumstances within, and outside of the game, just make it a reality. In my experience it’s more prevalent in the high tier games which is another reason I’m enjoying the mid to lower tiers.
It does appear that some believe this is a team oriented game, I used to think that as well. After playing for a while I learned that it’s not. Despite that I make every effort to help win the battle. Might not be getting the most kills but I repair teammates, firefighting for teammates, scouting, towing stuck or upside down teammates, providing covering fire and capturing points. Having good “teammates” really makes the game better but if you’re on a bad team, it’s a really bad experience.
Add a full uptier and you have a recipe for desaster.
Uptiers can be so frustrating when you have to compete against cold war tanks with WW 2 tanks. I spawn, and an AMX-50 Surbaisse lolpenned my Tiger II, I’m immediately fed up. I’d rather put up with the crew lockout than be the sl/rp piñata for the enemy team
This + getting a terrible map.
Lower tier is more tolerable. Despite the century inconsistency and maps that look like they’re out of a video game with defined lanes YOU MUST TAKE and designated hills you have to peek from instead of something more natural but going off rails here.
Some maps at high tier are just impossible to enjoy because you have to sweat too much in close quarters with some really terrible jank and inconsistency. It wouldn’t be bad if most of the maps weren’t ripped from low tier. I heard they did this change back in 2018, no idea why.
I don’t usually 1DL, but if it’s a bad map what’s the point playing something you don’t enjoy? If I enjoyed that kind of wacky, janky gameplay I would play arcade. Notice how there’s almost no one playing high tier arcade? It’s because there’s no difference.
There comes a point where the question should be changed to, Why do some people field more than one tank in a game?I usually do this because I’ve made it a point to use every tank in the game for a few matches before moving on to the next one, so if I do a lot of ODL it would take me ages to move on to another tank.
Next reason to ODL:
Bought new premium tank that is really fun to play (fun is rare in this game). When i die - no, i don’t want to waste time playing rest of the lineup, i want to keep using tank i’ve paid for.
Therefore ODL.
Kinda funny
Quoted for irony
Gonna be honest, if i get 2k every kill and i need to pay in my br (9.3) 6k for repair. Im leaving if i dont get 2 kills on my first tank. Ik I never payed for premium and im not the best player but still, i much rather loose 5k then 10. Raise earnings on kills/rewards and then who knows 1KL will be lower.
Main reason - I just don’t want to feed CAS.
More and more CAS appear when the battle time goes on, so chance of dying to that crap increases.
Even first death are from CAS in 33% of battles.
GAB
this is reason why people left after 1 death
Constant uptiers, which results me to be always playing at a disadvantage. Which is not fun, you are always underperforming.
Bad maps, when at higher tiers, i dont want CQC maps. I want big, long range maps like Pradesh and Red Desert - which i never get, despite them having liked in the match making settings (literally, in the last few months i haven’t gotten these maps eventhough i liked them in the settings).
One death leavers, when i see most teammates left after 1 death, i leave too - there is no way of winning the match when the enemy team has twice the amount of players.
When the US, DE and RU are in the same team (as the enemy). These nations are most favourite by Gaijin, while also having the best CAS options and the biggest lineups - when i only get 3 tanks at the br for the nation i’m playing. The chance of my team winning is very slim. Not worth the time and effort with this trash economy.
