The low skill player problem is infamous and endemic in the community, every day a new thread pops up about unskilled teammates and all that good stuff.
I think the elephant in the room is free repairs or the so called compensation of battle expenses for premium accounts.
With free repairs, there are no incentives to be good or improve at the game. Why punish good players that took the time to learn the game by filling them with bad teammates?
Repair costs also serve as a excellent balancing mechanism; you can play this OP tank, but it costs 10000 SL to repair, but if you managed to do well in it you are rewarded handsomely. Or you can play this trash tank that costs 1000SL to repair, low risk, low reward or high risk and high reward. Sounds reasonable.
As a collective, you can. A expensive vehicle that is OP, means high risk high reward. That would mean less people play it, being less of a problem overall.
Nobody plays rank V. (correction: Zombers play Rank V. Players who try to PvP die once and quit after they see spawn cost. This makes actual fun PvPvE lobbies impossible).
Seriously. You pay 17.3K silver lions to spawn a Ho 229 Horten and under 15 minutes the absolute maximum you can earn (before premium and boosters) is 19.8K. This assumes at least 2 kills and surviving to the end and landing. If you don’t land, you lose 20% of that - 15.85K. Less than your spawn cost.
15 minutes of high effort is rewarded with 2.5K silver lions. Not enough to spawn again.
You need to stay alive for 30 minutes without ever respawning and getting 2 kills in both 15 minute segments (4 kills in 15 minutes doesnt work due to how the economy functions - must be 2 in 0-15, 2 in 15-30).
All absurd repair costs lead to is people spamming Ju-288 zomber games to farm SL.
Well, there is a simple way to investigate this proposition. When repair costs were a thing, was the playerbase less affected by skill gaps and high learning curves? Were there fewer complaints and moan threads?
why are you asking for yourself to be filtered out?
in all seriousness it was the worst part of war thunder. a high risk to reward for a tank isnt fair. that should be limited to CAS and nukes in ground, and that should be through SP costs.
economically locking players to lower tiers will only do three things:
Gatekeep many players from playing a tank they like or are intrested in trying therefore increasing the liklihood that they quit playing
take the SL economy back the the hellscape it once was
mean veteran players going down to low tier will equate to sealclubbery much more often
Ah yes, let’s punish ppl who are having bad days or poor lvl 15 Timmy who bought a prem tank. Punishing someone financially only leads to more frustration → more rage → worse mental → worse gameplay.
I don’t get this part, u want ppl to git gud, but what if they do and ur team still gets wiped anyway? What then?
Maybe the issue isn’t ur teammates, maybe it’s u and ur blame game.
Is this your 1st time reading a TIGER TANK post? they fall into one of 2 types: “why its perfectly fine that I suck” and " Why it’s bad that I suffer for sucking because its the rest of my teams fault for not carrying me"
