All moot points.We are on about maps changing and people’s experience becoming worthless.Plenty of maps having the fun driven from them.
Why invest time watching replays and setting up your own games to learn terrain(as Gaijin suggests) then have it constantly shift?
Don’t watch replays and spend time setting up sweaty custom games then, lol? That was easy to solve! I don’t think Gaijin cares one whit if you do that stuff or not
You are just being silly now.Goodbye.
I completely agree with you, single cap maps gameplay was already bad enough, but this is even worse. And we’re talking about small maps, not huge RB style maps, that are now cut in half.
Better now?
I’m still going to see all your posts, so no actually that doesn’t really change anything about what we just discussed. You’re still talking to me every time you post in public. (Which I didn’t complain about by the way, only the fact that you were un-informed about the topic you spoke confidently of, not that you were speaking)
That is what I have done.lol
Some people just get lost in trying to win an argument and forget what the OP was.
Im baffled why some people feel the need to defend the indefensible.
The question in the OP was “Why are sniping spots being removed?”
And YOU yourself gave by far the clearest answer, in one of your replies prompted by me (you’re welcome!), when you said:
[Successful players] look at the map, the Zone position and rush to their pre designated spot that they always use and have done so for years maybe. It’s training. Don’t think, do.
By your own description, the sniping spots make the game require No thinking. Making it a boring, bad game. So there’s your answer to the OP’s main question.
Everyone has the right to have a different opinion, except some like to be annoying trying to push theirs, while others like to be toxic towards others.
You should have seen the thread about the anniversary sale, there were people there only attacking others opinion about the sale, they never gave their own opinion about it but they spent hours attacking the opinions of those that felt disappointed by the sale.
too much skill issue autist player crying for remove.
One would think that the truly skilled players would be the ones who can ADAPT the fastest to any change, not the ones left crippled and confused about “How else do I even get good without these camping spots?! Unplayable now” when one single tactic is changed. Those weren’t 1337 skilled super soldiers, those were what we call “one trick ponies”
Agreed and my primary aim is to make War Thunder all that it should be and could be .It is a game I play a lot and it has a fundamental enjoyment value.It’s addictive by nature but so riddled with silly decisions.
There are two types of newbie ,those that go and those that stay.You have to throw a bone at those who press on and the replay and custom battle ability is a great way for new players to learn and get up to speed quickly by observing what terrain good players use.
You can’t keep moving the goalposts .Vets will always be ten years or a 5000 games ahead of the newbie so the only way is to keep a stable game of units and maps and help the new kid get used to the terrain.
Of course I can adapt to all the maps and changes made to them, doesn’t change the fact that they make maps into corridors which is boring.
But yea, we can see what players think about new map (Flander), which I have found really refreshing and great.
Well said mate.100%
Again the guy who did the sniping above himself even admitted it involves “No thinking, just going to the same spot every time” and he was absolutely right.
How are you attempting to justify that using one OP spot every time you get a map, somehow DOES require thinking?
It’s clearly a more boring game with one objectively correct spot than without.
I’m a player who prefers to rush all the time and get as many kills as possible, but I know that there are tanks not made for that.
Warthunder is a game that gives You a lot of vechicles to choose from, but tell me who is going to take most of them if the best tactic on all maps will be all about just driving in a straight line? Why change maps which are great into the same thing over and over again?
And then, if someone is thinking that sniping in this game is so great (OP) then Yea… they don’t really know a lot.
I didn’t ask you how or why you think the spot is objectively correct (for some tanks, yes). We all agree that those spots were objectively the best for some tanks.
I asked you how you possibly could think that was LESS BORING than the alternative map that doesn’t have a single best, known spot that requires no critical thinking. Which you conveniently didn’t answer. Because obviously having one best spot is the boring version, not the other way around.
Why change maps which are great into the same thing over and over again?
Because they weren’t, they were boring, and they actually did the precise opposite of that. They took ones where people did “the same thing over and over again” (go to the one god spot) and forced them to not do the one objectively correct single thing over and over again by removing it.
Because no map ever had an best known spot which required no critical thinking. If there was, give me an example.
They just made more tanks obsolete and forced players into one playstyle
Remember this is a thread about sniping spots, not narrow lane red zone maps, by the way. (And people complaining to me about “staying on topic”…)
The hills in the south on Jungle were a great example. Or on top of the northernmost mountain in Kuban before they removed access to it.
