Over time playing Warthunder, I believe many people have had very similar experiences in most matches (getting a bad team and losing embarrassingly, getting a good team and winning halfway through, ending up on a bad map but still winning, etc.). Many matches are like that, but in practice, of all those matches, which was the most epic match you’ve ever had? Which one do you remember the most? comment.
In my case
some time ago, I was playing a ZSU-57-2 with Wiesel in my team and we landed on a map with a single objective. We decided to team up, and a few minutes later we realized we were 75% close to defeat and the enemy was already spawm camping. We decided to go all in and take the zone, even knowing it would be us against the enemy team coming from all sides of the map, and that was the right decision. We took the zone and had to destroy the entire enemy team alone, depending on the zone captured to be able to reload. We had to cover each other’s backs. In total, we managed to eliminate 25 enemy tanks (20 tanks and 5 planes) without a break. Finally, Wiesel managed to take the nuke and end the match. That was my best match and one of the only times I found a good teammate.
12 kills with the ariete, 8 kills with the MiG 15 bis, and when i met my girl in warthunder…
Last person in the match on my team, still 8 guys left on the enemy team. I was in a Strv 103 C, went on an 8x kill streak, eventually lost. So close to a nuke though. Literally one kill, but it took 3 to cut me down on all sides.
not sure of one explicitly but probably when i 0 death nuke
maybe when i got a nuke in the Stormer AD actually
12 kils with the bmpt and 2 air kills but any player can do that with bmpt
25 kills last stand with Easy 8, fought for 20 minutes and still lost. But one hell of way to lose though, I gave them the beating of a lifetime.
And 1-2 days ago, I had a similar situation with the Kw 1 C on Kursk, survived on my own wave after wave after wave of enemies for 20 minutes (lore accurate Kursk) and still lost (21 kills), I ran out of ammo.
Not epic in the sense of a great win or crazy kill count.
But a few years back, i had a match in my jagdtiger on the battle for Berlin map. Became very realistic as i watched my team slowly get pushed back by the allies and ever increasing allied cas while i was running out of ammo.
Epic matches are highly subjective as the goals of players vary.
I play prop Air RB only and play it more like chess than a shooter - so for me epic means mainly turning around already lost matches (based on number and ticket disadvantage) with last second action by outplaying/outsmarting enemies.
So playing 1 vs 4, killing one of them after 23 minutes and kill a single pillbox after 24:40 for a ticket win (=leaving the remaining enemies no time to counter this move) is for me the definition of an epic game. I described a recent game here.
In more than 30k Air RB i had hundreds of similar matches so “the most epic match” is mainly a question of your overall approach when playing wt.
Got 9 kills in Kikka on the old 12v12 matchmakers years ago (so killed 9 out of the 12 enemy players) and got 10 kills in Su-27 in the newer 16v16 matchmaker, so killed 10 out of 16. Those were incredible games
Probably this.
I also had 31 kills but on italian 3.7 Shermans, so you know.
I think i have had many amazing matches. Just cant remember any lol. I wish there was a way to see replays of older game versions and see which matches I have gotten most kills in etc
Recently before Aim 7s got buffed i was playing the F3H and managed to win a 1v5 at the end so that was fun. But anything before that i am surprised people can remember.
Getting a nuke with the Cent AVRE and nuke clutching with something like 50 tickets left on my teams counter.
Years ago me and some random guy who I haven’t seen since were on seemingly the worst map and matchup possible.
5.7-ish America and Germany vs Soviets. On Rhine. No other nations in the match. Whole team evaporated. I ran around in my M18 and popped 7 Russians, the one remaining German player with a brain was turning Russian Bias against them with the KV-1C 756(r) with 8 kills. When I died in the M18 I spawned a P-47D and between two runs (rearming at the airfield) I got another 8 kills. The KV-1C player captured the single cap zone, and we managed to win on timeout with enough of a ticket lead from killing that many people.
Much more recently, a pair of hilarious Air RB games where post bomber-buff I killed 6 people who flew into my BV238’s guns from stupid angles and one in the Do-217N-1 where 6 people in a row thought it was a good idea to headon a brick with quad 20mm guns, plus a seventh killed via the 13mm tail gunner.
Also I fondly remember a match on Old Sicily where the German team and most of the American team evaporated, leaving some AFK P-47 in space and me in my Hs-129B-2 before the devastating 1.57 HVAP nerf. I proceeded to kill every single ground unit on that map single-handedly on one ammo load, including all 29 tanks. With MK103 HVAP to spare.
And lastly I also fondly remember on both Sicily and Old Ruhr maps lining up behind tank columns to annihilate as many as 9 tanks in one pass with the Duck, again prior to the 1.57 HVAP nerf.

Was the GOAT map of all time with a proper flown Ju 288 - with precise aim you could get up to 14 ai tanks with 2 pre-nerf Satan SC 1800 in about 3 minutes by bombing both assembling areas before they start to move. 300 points mission score for each tank and with a small SL booster and an anti-mech order combined you got 300k SL on average just for having good aim.
Old Ruhr map had a similar set up for a tank column at Grid D4…i remember one 1 hour match vs a totally insane Spitfire pilot killing 70+ ground units whilst i bombed respawning bases like a moron 😂 We chatted and he claimed that he wanted to set a new record, he lost as i killed 2 clusters of the 3 x 6 late spawning trucks…

Perfect case study alongside my own experience of popping as many as 9 tanks per pass in the Duck sweeping the column from back to front how weapon nerfs do not improve gameplay for anyone, be it the thing getting nerfed nor the team fighting against it.

Please do explain what you mean
maybe the match where i killed the last airfeild camping player with 2 min of fuel or mayybe it was when my aim7P kept a lock on a different target then the one I had locked acting as a fox3
