These is one my new reason i will leave instantly…its when im alone with potentially the whole team cause my team mates decided to go in 1 single spot
And most of the times they cant even take control of it…
Expecially in these long range maps,if im alone,i will quit instantly,i dont care no more to be honest,ill take 8 minutes of crew lock but i will save myself 10 minutes of brain damage

The question for ODL is no longer why some people do it, but why some don’t. The game has become such a mess that, between the broken mechanics and the way many players play, it’s almost impossible not to get tired of it after three matches. You can only play many matches if you mentally switch off and abandon the competitive aspect.

Pretty valid take, a good 80% of the time I struggle to find the motivation to even play, all the game modes are just repetitive slop at this point, and the same BS mechanics and gameplay is very burnout inducing when I’m not deadset on grinding things. The only thing keeping me going at this point is the sunk cost fallacy of over 6000 hours and who knows how many euros

The only thing that keeps me playing is my love for the theme of tanks and military vehicles in general, and since WT is the best, even if it’s by a small margin, I keep playing even if it costs me my mental health. Besides, there’s also the risk of being kicked out of the clan for inactivity.
What annoys me most about the game is that it’s fundamentally a great game. If only the developers focused on doing things right (like when the game first started), it would be fantastic. They just need to revise the damage models so they’re not so unfair and random, revise the penetration calculator so bullets behave more realistically, and finally, create larger, better-balanced maps to make them more engaging and allow for different strategies. It would also be good to have at least five spawn points spread across the map to prevent spawn kills. If they only did that, the game would be amazing, and I might even be tempted to spend money on it again, something I’ve decided against for now, since they don’t deserve even €0.10.

Honestly, I’ve never quit a match because of the maps, no matter how bad they are. I don’t usually do ODLs (Out of Dwells), since my goal in the game is to play all the tanks in the game a certain number of times, so doing ODLs would make it take me much longer to achieve that. I only do ODLs when, after playing for a while, I get tired of the absurd bounces or absurd damage (which tend to happen extremely often), and when it’s happened to me many times, that’s when I start doing ODLs, out of indignation with the game. I don’t have a problem with the enemy killing me, but I don’t particularly like giving away kills to other players simply because the game decides at that moment that I should die to benefit others.

i started doing it cause usually the teams arent great and the maps are just so buns you either have to sit in one spot snipping people but no one shows up or you try to go in and die
Ive noticed it too,the last weeks have been unplayable…
As always,Russian fuel tanks absorbing all the damage
The non pen at the start of the video against the T55 with a DART its absurd btw
And lets not forget some issues this game still have over the years
I killed myself here to show how bad the game is currently in this state

I leave if its single cap. I hate that gamemode with a passion. I usually dont 1 death leave at all otherwise.

That’s not the worst one.
“Battle”, where you each already own your own cap is the worst.
it’s essentially a death-match mode and it takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to steal the cap. More often than not the other team is dead or have left the game before you can complete the CAP-steal. Good luck with “series of captures” mission on that one.

One reason I 1DL is when I’m trying to grind the modifiations for helicopters, I take my heli + reserve tank in my lineup (reserve vehicles dont get crew lock). By doing this I can spam rocket rushes and quickly grind modifications.
This is partly because I already have all other vehicles researched and spaded so I’m only focused on one vehicle.
But this wouldnt have to be the case if the heli PVE was even remotely playable. (I find it boring and the rewards are too low)
You would probably be the reason some people 1dl in ground battles, either dying to some heli rush garbo, or seeing one on their team. You are a part of the problem
Noooo put back strikemaster pfp. It fits u rlly well.
Im just waiting on a Danish Pfp
Dope ahh.
I do the same when I get conquest versions of most maps. Cargo Port being an immediate quit.
I don’t like 1/2DL, but I have a dream to spade every single Swedish thing I can. Unfortunately that means Pvkv IV and HKP3C. Might try it out.
I don’t enjoy doing this but it’s the only reasonable way to gind helis :shrug:
I wouldn’t be doing this if there was an alternative…
That map its not even THAT bad,the whole right side its perfectly playable even at higher tiers even tho Gaijin shouldnt make every single container to be penned that easily
