It’s awesome when enemy team has 2-3 caps and you are low on tickets and players on your team jump into FIGHTERS. That aught to even things up… right?
Just left two consecutive battles after 1 death because the team I got stuck with refused to play the mode - single cap. They just wandered around (everywhere except the CAP) or camped shortly after spawning.
So the two or three of us actually trying to cap were easily overwhelmed by shear numbers of enemies playing the mode properly.
Not a chance I waste my time in those guaranteed losses.

I only have one tank in each lineup. I never fly AC and have 0 desire to get farmed by them. So once my tank is done, I move on to the next game.

Why?
And you have no backups?
Most times, that gets me in and out of the game before the AC litter the game. As noted in my previous post, I have no desire to be farmed in realistic battles by the arcade mode AC.
If there was a ground only mode, I’d extend my lineup. As it is though, 1 and done is the only way I will play.

3rd person view in AC = arcade mode. One needs to fly a sim such as Aces High or the like, where your planted in view restricted cockpits, if realistic flight sim is what you’re after. War Thunder’s “Realistic” modeling for AC views is anything but that. For the ground game it should be the simulation view mode that is used.
It’s fine if it’s an AC battle only and you like that sort of thing, but in the ground game that 3rd person view distorts the advantage even more.
That said, it’s the design of the game and the ground battle revolves around getting people into AC to farm…that’s the reward, and that’s why it costs the most points.
shrug it isn’t going to change as it’s been that way since I first played in beta. Fortunately Gaijin also allows players a lot of flexibility to play as they want…and that’s exactly what I do!

UPTIER… when i have 3x in a row UPTIER so 1 death and good bye. And RNG… 1 game and 30 hits and 8k dmg next battle and 45 hits and 150 dmg!!! UPTIER and RNG is problem. I see uptier first death and good bye, 10+ hits without damage and i go for death and good bye :)

That’s best way to play ground battles at current circumstances, i mean shitty balance, garbage maps, constant uptiers, dumb damage models/penetration, CAS, bad economy and grinding system.
Do i have to continue???

It’s the only game on the market that offers what WT does, especially for console players.
I’m a PC player who is into WW2 aviation, so on paper IL2:GB ought satisfy my own needs. Unfortunately, it does not have USN and IJN aircraft like zeros or corsairs or hellcats so that alone draws me to WT until combat pilot releases. Even if I had had stuck to 109s and soviet aircraft, WT provides me an easier time engaging in teamwork without being forced to use voice chat.
Doing team stuff in Il2 without revealling your voice or being forced to verbally communicate is legitimately painful because its chat is horrible (it defaults to enemy team) and there’s no pre-baked radio commands that convey valuable information like the trinity of “Follow me!” “Cover me!” and “Leading for Landing” which you can use to incredible effect in WT to coordinate with your team and avoid teamkills.
Same deal with tanks but even more so (multiplayer, realistic, WW2 tanks including the niche and wackier designs that can be played without voice chat. Tanking in RO2 without voice chat is an exercise in frustration)
So “Why play WT?”
It’s the least bad choice for a given set of circumstances

i get it. really.
But you let others suffer because you want to force the game to be like you want it to be. I would love more variation in the game space as well. But i cant force it.
The thing i never understood is, that i know what the game is about when i start, right? now people still complain. its like they order strawberry icecream and complain about it afterwards because they dont like strawberries.

This is the thing.
Warthunder used to be better when it came to tanks (map design et al), but is constantly being changed and modified in ways that make it less and less enjoyable.
Air modes similarly suffer from such a descent (ASB stagnates, ARB tho - see the threads about airspawns and top tier making the game worse. Altho I dont play missile thunder to personally comment). (With ASB, my current complaints are wondering how they broke spotting and aircraft carriers. Oh, and the action bar thing that keeps coming back.)
For GRB in particular, I’d have queue-left games far less often in the past than today. Today, I queue leave and give up and go back to ASB or Il2 far more often because of previously functional maps getting red crayon’d to doom (or new maps that are as bad as red crayon’d maps inherently.)
Trying to play these maps just makes me irrationally angry and frustrated and even premium map bans are insufficient to avoid this feeling.

Yeah. its a bit like they could invest much more into the game itself with what they earn. It feels like they do the bare minimum. I understand it from a business point, but as a developer it would hurt my pride xD
There are many ways to play the game, and enjoy it. I have fun playing the way I do. Sure, a GV only mode would be much more fun. But that’s not an option, so I play the current mode as close to that format as possible. No need to find another game other than when I inevitably get bored with this one and move on for a bit.
That’s the rub. Gaijin could easily do a War Gaming model and penalize the heck out of players to get them to play a very specific way…perhaps the way you want the game played?
But they don’t. So we play the game the way we like within the parameters allowed.

Who said it’s horrible???
Game has problems what Gaijin don’t want to fix, so people finding way to have fun and grind effectively.
You playing with big lineups?? Good for you, nobody forced you to bring 5-6 vehicle but okay, do whatever you want just stop crying about 1 death leave.
Here’s reasons:

Yeah, you just want people to continue respawning to feed you frags when you spawn-camp them. You are toxic and you should think if this game is for you, as you probably should only play single-player games.
Such entitlement…
