@@Frogg-YT want to join my alliance

i dont really understand what you mean by that​@@Shn1tzel_Edits

Ger has best ground and U.S has best air

i said the ussr has some of the strongest, not the best

when did I say i didnt enjoy war thunder?

Nooooooooooooooo (maybe)

i was distracted and wasnt looking at my screen lmao

After the first time i did that I felt so ashamed that it burned into my brain, basically gave me PTSD

You have a good point but im not doing that personally because i only care about wt for the jets, thats what was advertised to me and i havent changed my mind about it. Ofc i still enjoy most brs but high tier is what i care about

thank you

The only reason is the lack of credible competition. It's the same reason for Gaijin being anti-consumer to the extreme

This is pure misinformation

@@Frogg-YT No it's not. You grind the fastest wherever you're best. I certainly gind faster in AB than RB. Could i be faster in RB if i was better at RB? Probably, but i'm not.

Getting the f14 is dependent on match score, basically the number in the scoreboard on each match, you can check progress in achievements>pages of history>Persian tomcat>tasks You basically just have to play the game enough to get 45k points every two days And I totally feel you on not paying for things, I personally only get premium just so the grind is more bearable, but have never bought anything besides that, and once I hit US top tier there's a good chance I stop because I'll be good on SL from there on out.

Best coment!

you have good points but i would like to see free to play wt grind actually take a reasonable amount of time

how can i not be a wt player if its the only game i play consistantly for a year? i also dont use reddit so the fact that my critique is ''from reddit'' is purely coincidental

@@Frogg-YT When you almost exclusively play top tier premiums how can you really be a War Thunder player if you only play 10% of the game? You talk about low and mid BRs, as well as nations you've never played, so you are getting your critiques from other parts of the community, not your own experiences.

dude what??

12:53 "same thing with the F-104 starfighter, this plane is so overpowered you literally cant die if you get downtiered" Same with every other supersonic plane at 9.3, such as Lightning, its slightly slower than the f104 yes, but its mach 2 capable, and has far better turn, where the F-104 has worse turning than a brick. If you drop a brick from a 100m building it will probably deviate more than f104 in the same distance. 14:28 you have a laser rangefinder which lets you aim anywhere perfectly, you decide to eyeball the distance of the enemy (yes its a high velocity round at close distance, but he can get precise hit with LRF) and manage to hit the strongest part of the tank, instead of aimingfor the gun/breech area 15:06 you see enemy tank in a light tank with scouting. You have the entire time to scout him,and possible get a reward for it, but you dont. Then last second you scout him but die because you are in a light tank and you cant penetrate him at all. You could have gone away and try to flank him so he is diverted whether to aim his armour to the front or to the side, so you can overpower him by being on his flank but you decide to sit with a weak gun facingg the strongest part of the armour. (This is why your grind is slow and painful) 16:39 "in this event (...) you would often fight 8v8" i personally was in the event as well but i only saw 16v16 or some large amount of players (i didnt count exactly how many) 16:49 "and this 8v8 was so much fun" it was arguably fun because you were playing with severe damage mechanic, because when i played , i had a lot of fun because bombers were made to last far longer, i had a fighter turn up to me, hit me a lot of times, i survived, had a fire for like 5 minutes, managed to land and repair without dying. that was where the fun was for me, because it radically changed the game, are you sure that you were enjoying the small matches and not the way the game massively changed mechanically? 18:00 you keep looking into this dead end for no reason for the next several seconds thinking an enemy may come from there, despite you never seeing any dead tanks in this out of bounds area, or the fact that the map has it highlited red as in "you cant go there" 18:21 "(least balanced new mechanics) such as spall liners which significantly reduces the damage taken on a tank, like T90M" or you could have say any other tank, where the community single handedly agrees that the german Leo 2A7 and swedish Strv122b are the most OP tanks with spall liners because they have the best everything , better than T90M. then you also talk about how OP MAW is etc etc., thing about modern doctorines IRL, you want the combat for your soldiers and military overall to get EASIER, not harder. this is why MAW was developed, and now added to the game, because its present on such vehicles. 19:20 you again look into the dead end hole which you have been in the area so you would know no enemy would somehow get there. 19:47 "by doing this change, they made the tomcat stupid overpowered" ever heard of notching and using chaff? of course i understand that there could be multiple missiles from different directions, but chaff is actually useful now since its the missiles on board radar tracking you, which since the missiles are not as big as the plane, they have much smaller and weaker radars, which are highly susceptible to chaff. Look at any top tier video, they have moslty chaff loaded, with little flares. This was even adopted in real life because the Tornado planes have TWO whole dispensers just for chaff with no room for flares. 20:33 "I have died many many times to missiles somehow hitting me below 60m" Its not guaranteed to fall for multipathing. Also if its from above, it cant multipath because it can only directly see you, the ground cant reflect your radar signature through your self, which is yourself. Also just like real life, the systems are not perfect. Just like in Sim battles, IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) on radar also isnt perfect, and can identify an enemy as friendly, and a friendly as enemy. The system can be fooled IRL and so can in game. Will you complain more once EW is added to the game? 21:03 you again keep looking into the dead end hole in which nothing has happened the past 2 times you looked into it, maybe something will happen when you look into it the 3rd time? 21:25 correction, Premium planes DO NOT prevent research penalty. They are only prevent it from researching vehicles below its own rank. If you have rank 2 premium, you still get massive penalties for researching rank 4 and above. 21:47 "Gaijin once said they will never add rank 5 premium" Ah i love this misconception. Back when this was said, rank 5 was the highest rank in the game. Back then it was the highest echelon of the entire game where the highest skilled players were at. Now its rank 8. As far as i am aware, this was technically broken. There are only TWO premiums at rank 8. One was added 5 months ago, other one 1 month ago. Yes theve broken it. Though rank 8 was added almost 2 years ago (Nov 2022) 22:32 You look behind you without using freelook. If there was enemy in front of you behind a corner, he would have peeked and easily killed you, a big trap(Also there IS an enemy in front of you because youve just been hit in a collateral half a minute prior to this. Both of you know that there is enemy very close. 22:58 Your ally just got killed by the enemy that you were looking for a few seconds eariler. You now know he is behind the corner hiding and NOW IS RELOADING. You pause and get closer to the corner in 10 seconds time where he almost certainly reloaded already. 24:33 "and Japan , they have brainless props, like the A6M" which all versions have longer turn rate and far lower climbrate than the Spitfire LF, with 14.8s turn time and 32 m/s climb rate while comparable A6Ms have AT MOST 16s turn time, so a decent difference. 25:33 First time played in Jan 23, left after that, started truly playing July 23, and shortly after you immidietly decided to buy top tier premiums without even looking further into the game. I think this maybe is one of the reasons why people like you complain about the game. You buy yourself into top tier, thinking you wont need any other nations, and you just buy for russian and the US like you said in the video. Then you die to other people like you, who also bought into top tier, and then complain that top tier is just full of people in premiums... (because they are just like you). There is too many people who just carelessly spend literally THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS (like you said) into the game without even researching into what you are buying.. This gave me insight on how the average player buys into top tier, complains that the game is bad (despite being bad themselves) and tells everyone to leavea negative review on steam. I am not mad, i simply replied to every statement which seemed odd and straight up wrong to me and clarifying some info.

While it is sad that you regret your purchases, i really hope youve learned the lesson that you shouldnt spend money immidietly on getting a new game and literally buying thousands dollars worth of in game content. Its stupid for every game. Do not do that again. Or developers will see this,and continue creating half assed games with tons of microtranscations. This video was peak anti-talent in financial literacy and it hurts me to see as a economy/accounting student

@@petrkdn8224 wait i said premiums completely mitigate research penalty? my bad

@Frogg-YT I'm actually sorry I made this long ass comment. It's just there was so much "wrong" with this video I just made this comment. I never made such comment before on any other video but this was my first

@@petrkdn8224 What is an economy student doing on WT? Go back to Runescape!

its the way to make money as a greedy company

not true 1 hour daily of gring in wyvern but is unfair but nothing new for warthunder

I'm half way through the coupon. I'd suggest everyone do sim no matter what rank you're playing. It's so much quicker than ARB.

You must be total trash at the game or expect to put in 10 minutes of effort a day.

Me, spamming Su-6 ratting my way to wipe all Ground AI and Light Pillboxes. ezpz lemon sqz in 2 to 3 hrs, you can do 1.5 Hrs Daily. I'm not aiming for the F-14 Coupon tho.

So you being ok it's ok to say but him not being ok can't express it? "It's a friggin game. Don't like it don't play it" typical answer of who can't create complex thoughts.

Still better than a lvl 14 f4s crashing on take-off 72% of games

I hope it's only a joke otherwise this is the exact reason why this game's veterans are so toxic and full on sunk cost fallacy.

​I just dont like it when new players who cant fly at all buy jets and throw my games just by not being good enough at the game to be at the br of the premium ​@@Blockhead2but yes it is just a joke

Ok

Newbie I have 6000 hours.

This might be the realest comment so far

I first got an account in 2013. I agree with all your points. The game was simplistic from the beginning and rather than make it more sophisticated the developers followed the FarmVille [tm] model, just adding more bling and eye candy. The original game engine from over a decade ago struggles mightily having been pushed far beyond its original purpose. Over the years a new generation of younger players has come to the game having cut their teeth on COD and Counter Strike where nano second twitch responses is everything. These players bring this play style to the game, not the other way around. The other point not discussed is cheats. The game is currently suffering from high numbers of them again and the developers seem to have given up after paying lip service to anti cheat software. Another point I’d like to mention is the influence of company sponsored ‘Content Creators’ who portray the game unrealistically. These big channels show themselves getting huge numbers of kills with apparent ease as they spruik the game. Only later do you find out it’s often on non public servers, using cheats and literally thousands of real world dollars in digital credits worth of special content etc etc. After all these years I have never progressed further than BR 6.7 in ground realistic (my fave) because the in game costs are beyond the ability of a free account to sustain and more costly in real world currency than my modest gaming budget allows. Which brings me to another observation: the change in gaming from an amusement to a deadly serious lifestyle choice where folk now devote LARGE amounts of their disposable income and free time to maintaining a fantasy superiority in online video games. As my son grew up and got involved I taught him to keep a level head about these things. If I die to a Pay2Win[TM] player I don’t take it personally, it’s just part of the annoyances of online gaming. When I speak to ‘dedicated’ WarThunder players in chat and they are telling me they spend thousands and thousands of dollars on the game two things occur to me: 1. I can never compete with that and 2. There is little incentive for the company to do better as the rivers of gold flow to them. My WT handle is dAd_ and I enjoy getting ‘Rank does not matter’ awards in most matches using grossly under tiered vehicles just for the lark 🤣

what? talking with low energy?

well 1 month is about 700 hours so its just under 2 months straight

@@Frogg-YT That's... a lot. I've been playing since 2013 and I "only" have 3500 hours. I don't mean to sound like a preachy douche but you gotta pace yourself, most people would burn out if they dive into any one hobby that heavily.

700-900 (little unsure) of those hours were in the first 6 months, after that i just stopped playing wt as often and the last few hundred i got over that time

@@Frogg-YT Look at it this way 1000 hours in a year is 40 hours every week. That's the same amount of time as an apprenticeship work quota for a year.

$2000 is moderate? Seriously, this civilisation has to collapse. You can get a premium triple-A game for less than $75, which means you could have bought over thirty top-class games just for the amount of money you wasted on WT. And I'm not taking into account the fact that if you're prepared to wait a few months after a game's release, you'll get it with a discount of 30% or more. I would have to be stark raving mad to spend $2000 on an online game. I've played WT (much less than you), WoT and WoWS for about 10 years and I bought ONE historical premium ship in WoWS for $20 or so.

@@PlayerAfricanChieften no, I'm not 15. But that's beside the point. Even as an affluent man, I don't spend my money on stupid things. Can you afford to pay $100 for a box of matches? I'm sure you can. Does it make you a fool to pay $100 for a box of matches? Yes, it does because it's not worth it. Paying $2000 for a bunch of pixels that you yourself admit are crap is just stupid.
