That’s just PvP multiplayer games in general, but War Thunder especially

[@Rafael_Fuchs]

@@atomicspartan131 I think that's something people don't notice in other PvP games just simply due to death and harm not being as punishing. In WT, a penetration in many instances is death, even if it isn't the first penetration that killed you. Depending on how people play, that could be their only 6.7 tank lost and all they have now are horribly under tiered tanks left in their lineup, and that first death snowballs because of it. I think the only other game types I'm aware of that are as punishing as that are roguelikes and RTS games. Neither of which I can say most people find fun because of the steep learning curves that they inherently have.

[@raven4404]

OK, I'll try to give my answers on these questions Q: Is War Thunder fun A: Neutral - depends really on what you're playing, if you are playing like up to rank IV, it is fun to play, but if you go above that, you'll start facing ATGM's, helicopters, jet aircraft etc. and it starts to be pain in that moment, especially when there are some maps where you can't even go anywhere, since they are very big and open and it's just ATGM's firing across the whole map and killing everything, but yes, lower tiers are fun Q: You need to pay money to progress at a reasonable rate A: Strongly agree - I've been playing War Thunder since September 2014 and that was time when I was still a kid with no money, so I couldn't buy any premium stuff and I was also playing arcade for very long time, because I found RB too hard at that time. After reaching 1 000 hours on WT (around 2016/2017, still playing only arcade back then), I had like 1 tech tree at rank V and 3 tech trees on rank III and I was like level 30 or something like that. After some years when I started to get some money, I bought premium and started playing RB and after just 2 weeks of grinding I researched stuff that would have took me months to unlock. So yes, you have to pay. Q: Arcade is good gamemode A: Agree - As I've mentioned above, you won't grind too far with them, but they are good way to grind events, battlepass etc. It's usually much easier to do event tasks in arcade than in RB Q: Helicopters were a good addition to the game A: Strongly disagree - It sounds fun on the paper, but it's much different in the actual game. It's quite unfair that people can grab helicopters right at the start of the battle (yes I know, that the weapons are limited if they do so) and they can spam rockets and get many kills with them. Honestly, if you want to counter helicopters effectively, you need to have a team working together (that goes for the CAS too), but I think that we all know that something like that happens like once per 100 battles. Then there are helicopter only battles and that's another mess. Starting helicopters are getting butchered by more advanced helicopters like Ka-50 etc. and they have very low chance of actually doing something in there. I have bought myself the Ka-50 and it's really disgusting how OP it is. Q: CAS is good in tank battless A: Strongly disagree - It's fun for the ones who are in the planes, but not for the ones on the ground. As i've said above, to effectively counter flying stuff, you need good team that is working together, whis is very rare. It's really frustrating when you are trying to do some task and you simply can't do it because the planes are constantly killing you. And it's even worse at the higher ranks, where you have missiles with god knows how big range and then even AA's are having hard time to do something. I would really appreciate tank only mode, but I'll doubt that this will happen sadly. Q: Naval is fun A: Neutral - haven't played much naval stuff, I tried to play few battles when they came out and I wasn't really impressed, idk how are they now, since I haven't played them since then. Q: Events are too tedious A: Strongly agree - Most of the events are pretty long and hard. For example, when there is event with like 6 vehicles, it's literally impossible to get them. I remember when there was event with first Merkava, I was sick so I was at home for the whole event and I was playing from mourning to midnight to grind all vehicles and I only got 3 - VFW, Merkava and I-180S (at least I believe that there was I-180S in that event). I really can't imagine somebody that would be able to grind all vehicles, it's just impossible. Now I started grinding the battlepass and when I come home from school, I instantly start grinding. And I'm really having a hard time to grind the battlepass and doing stuff for school at the same time. Q: The game is dying A: Strongly disagree - Even tho War Thunder has a tons of problems, it's not really dying. It's still the best game of it's kind on the market and the played numbers are proving it. And if it's going to die someday it's only up to Gaijin.

[@dedsec69]

for the CAS I think they have to give player who likes to play GRB an option to choose from, either they want GRB only or GRB with planes. So for people like me who only like tanks won't get bombarded by toxic enemy player trying to get a revenge kill. If you want to kill me, do it with tanks that's what GRB is for. You won't see anti-air missle tank in ARB. For Arcade I'm fine with planes and tanks in the same game.

They've got one ironic wehraboo on the show, I think that's enough for German mains. Time to get the Freeaboos and the Type 10 simps!

[@pingun96]

This became a long rant, which was nice, but i do excuse for the wall of text. Germany used to be really fun imo. But nowdays feels broken and obselete. I dont speak about the cold war in this, i didnt get a tiger untill last year. Because the grind and loss of time so i never could grind for it when it was one of the highest tiered vehicles in the game. The games biggest flaw was changing a lot of vehicles ranks on player skill, and then never bothering to move them once the game got completely cluttered. New vehicles get added, are OP or underpowered, Gets moved in the rank system so they are less of a hassle, but the old vehicles stay exactly where they have been for years, often outmatched entierly. This issue is heavy in both Air and Ground battles, Arcade and realistic. I myself did disgustingly well with the Spitfire, Bf-110, Fw190 and the likes, totaling 10 kills more often than below 5. But then they've been moved, which felt weird because in the case of the Bf-110 i never generally saw many other players using it, so im guessing a small pool of players who did really well with them had their ranks affected massively. Today the Bf-110 sits at a rank where its undergunned compared to many normal fighters, and also out speeded and turned. And all the clutter vehicles that have been added make it less likely to be fixed. Sure, at a lower tier, the BF110 would be rather over gunned, but its turn time and speed would not be. Rant really begins after this point, so i'd say skip it. When i started playing, there werent tanks in the game. Took a break for a year or two and they appeared. Tank as Germany when fighting other world war two vehicles was extremely fun, everything below tier 4 was just splendid. Hardly any random cold war vehicles, like the god awfull R3, or the likes. Game stopped being fun as a Germany or Soviet main when there were so many random vehicles added in to add content. Say the Swedish vehicles you see, a lot of them come from the late 1940's to around 1950. But got cold war era ammunition. Now these can be found at low tiers such as 2.3 last i played. I prefer to play around tier 2.7-3.9. I was playing Germany only, and the occasional soviet match, like that for over a year or two. Also, back then, if my memory serves me right, US wasnt that great of a country to play. Because they did not have the machineguns availible. the 50.Cal machineguns really ruined low tier entierly. Back then britain was a valid country too, because the damage models werent too great, but not bad either, so playing with Solid shot only wasnt as much of a pain as it is today. Overall Armor piercing ammunition has become rather worthless. While HEAT rounds, started fairly good IMO but then ended up being buffed to oblivion, then nerfed into the ground. Arcade used to be fun too. Germany was kinda OP because of their large array of early war vehicles, there was some of everything to have. Now every nation essentially fills a specific purpose. Or take China, they have the best of the US and USSR tanks, which gives those players a bit of an edge Imo. Planes, no real comment, Soviet planes felt way too overpowered for far too long. I started grinding that tree once they nerfed them, so i was stuck wondering why they did so poorly after years of seeing people main soviets everywhere. All the time. Overall the biggest change though, is the community. You can tell almost straight away in a match today who's been playing the game for years, or who's new. Those who know every single sneaky spot on the map, and those who have no idea about them and seem to not even understand the balistics properly. This is noticerable in RB mostly. In Arcade its becoming more and more noticerable over the last few years i'd say. One of my fondest memories was playing in my freshly unlocked Kv-1. Was driving down a hill with two other soviet players who also had them, we took hit upon hit and kept rolling on, then got close enough to the enemy that we eventually started getting penned. One of us got knocked out halfway across, second guy near the enemey, cant recall if it was a town or another hill we attacked, and i managed to get close and destroy two tanks before i went down. Entire enemy team was essentially STuG's, Panzer 4's and the odd Marder. Biggest problem i have. Absolutely biggest problem, is the fact that nations arent fighting specific nations anymore. You used to get realistic battles with only Germans fighting soviets, which was extremely fun and balanced. You'd get curbed if you tried to engage T34's and Kv'1s frontally, but you didnt have all that many mobile vehicles at the tiers to move up and flank with. While today you migth fight the Soviets and Germans, and you get British, American and whatever else on your team. The tanks with the most manouverability against the enemy with the least. While in the old slugfests, you'd have T-34's fighting Panzer 4's who have arguably the same mobility. Leading ot way less bullshit flankings, and when someone actually managed to flank properly they could do amazing damage, because they either got lucky or managed to destroy whoever was in their way. Nowdays i guess the R3 got uptiered, but back when it was lower than now, it just ruined everything. That and all kinds of other super fast cheese vehicles, tiny profiles, high speed, and amazing penetration and balistics. Theres too much clutter in the game. Every game feels extremely different from the last. Which is nice with variation, in theory, but in practise every round is just a different kind of bullshit from the last. You manage to flank around finally with a medium tank? well unfortunately for you now theres some tiny ass meta vehicle who knows exactly where you are coming, which you have no possibility of out turning, or even rotating the gun in time. While he runs circles around you. I was grinding without paying, i've never bought a tank and never really used the gold lions for anything but crew slots, because the more the game has changed, having a "tried and true" loadout doesnt work anymore. I spent over a year playing STuG, Panzer-4 and a Panzer-3 And a Marder III for open maps. I havent touched that lineup at all in the last year or two. Because its not worthwhile anymore. The grind was awfull, but i bet its even worse now. But the variantions of vehicle and faction lineup makes any loadout purely theoreticall. I take the marder 3 out today, MG death right away, or some cheesy bastard who shoot me from accross the map, because he knows the range from spawn dune 1 to my spawn dune 2 by heart. I take the Stug out, and suddently theres a R3 or some other monstrosity on wheels which can move at 50+ km an hour. Panzer 3 is just utterly worthless now, i dont even use it anymore. I only get kills when i get lucky to fight some weak armor nations, or end up on a flank. So i stopped playing it long ago. Panzer 4, you have to play the most toxic game with it nowdays. You have to fight at a range. Or so it feels. Germany feels obselete since they have world war 2 tanks, and then a bunch of prototypes fighting random actuall late war tanks, then you are thrown into cold war. I dont know how to pinpoint it really. So much has changed and things that were fixed in a month felt like it took years, but the game changed so much with every patch. One patch breaks something, entire playerbase changes around it, broken thing fixed, player base doesnt revert back to how it was. They give so much focus to adding new vehicles, trees and stuff, that it feels like an odd blend that doesnt work right anymore. It used to be much better, but the game should really have broken into two when they started going for cold war vechiles. Air, however, thats what i mained for the longest time. Also germany, because amazing variation of planes. Same as that, i found a lineup i liked after a few months of grinding, then kept playing that lineup for years, untill i came back after a month or two where i had a lot of work, and found out its just broken too. No fun left in it. I still get some good kicks out of it, but its so weird. When the FW planes were new, you'd get 5-6 kills with them a lot in Arcade. I used to total 10-12 kills rather often. The plane hasnt changed much apart from where its rank is, but nowdays when i play, i only get 2-3 kills when im lucky, but mostly im one shotted on first real encounter and get left frustrated. So most games i play today, i sit around 5 or less kills exept for the lucky streak where theres a lot of new people on the enemy team. Also another plane that used to be amazing, the Bf-110. It used to be slightly lesser rank. So its firepower was extremely good, while its turn capabilities were slightly less than most fighters, so you'd end up being out turned a lot, but still had amazing fun with it. It was the first plane i ever got 9 kills in an arcade match with. Which was when i started getting good at the game. Then i took a break for a year or so again, moved a bunch, different jobs, so on so forth. And then i came back and every plane i used to love had either been nerfed to the ground, or moved in rank so its completely understrenght, because people did really good with them when they were lower tier and the game had far less clutter.

[@427Arbok]

As a veteran from... I believe February of 2014, I remember when CAS was first reintroduced to WT in the "Hardcore RB/SB" Test modes. For those unfamiliar, both gamemodes had all markers removed (RB had previously featured markers for friends *and* foes) and aircraft present. It also predated the spawn point system (which I still believe is horrendous, as it causes games to heavily favor whichever team wins the initial engagements). For a brief window, also, aircraft either were forced to spawn at airfields or this had just become an honor code among pilots; I don't recall. But, in short, aircraft could spawn from the beginning of the match, but they had to actually fly to battle, giving the tanks time to get into positions and take cover before the bombs came in. Also, aircraft had to loiter over target for much longer because they had to make sure it wasn't friendly. And the dogfighting was fantastic, too, since it was a constant game of trying to hide or get the drop on someone. This was some of the best combined arms gameplay I've experienced in WT, and I wish it wasn't made exclusive to Sim... where I really just don't have the piloting chops to handle the controls and have yet to set-up my flight stick well enough to use. That much is on me, but even with the current version of RB, I feel there's a lot that could've been learned that wasn't. Nowadays, CAS is pretty much just a power-up awarded for good play (or, just as often, luck), and players are pretty much encouraged to dump their ordnance and ditch their plane as quick as possible to get back in a tank and keep getting kills, rather than try to run home and grab more bombs or to loiter over the airspace to intercept hostile planes. Plus, the short flight to battle really doesn't discourage everyone's favorite banality of the game, Revenge Bombing.

From hearing staffelkap opinion about "war thunder is fun".he's definitely the most experienced one out of all of them lmao, BR can sometimes be inconsistent cause sometanks need to be balance

[@mr.dakkadakka2845]

One of the nice things that I've come to realize after playing for years in regards to fun in the game is that I can choose what I want to play. Though granted I have many things unlocked because of those years of playing but it's nice that I can choose instead of diehard always moving forward. If I want to only play low and mid tier there isn't anything stopping me. For example I really like playing prop planes and not jets, so I just don't play jets even though air rb isn't a very good gamemode that really needs an overhaul. Helis aren't so bad as when they were first introduced but grinding to get them is a nightmare. But the gamemode helis really ruin is sim. I've had games where neither side can do anything because the enemy team gets instantly wiped out by a ka-50 since they can observe the whole map, frankly its not fun for anyone. I like naval a lot but some of the changes I can't agree with. The splitting of the trees sure it got more people to play destroyers but that's it nobody cares about the costal vessels really even thought they're a lot of fun. I do like that they made the sl and rp rewards higher, in the past they were less than tanks and you would get noting for playing top tier. But on the flip side it seems that only ships were given higher modifiers, and costal vessels that are top tier have mbt/super sonic jet sl and rp costs have miniscule sl and rp modifiers. I like the new rang finding and sighting interface its much more user friendly. I'm mixed on the damage models crew being basically a health bar is frustrating and while I've always tried to hit the other ships ammo sometimes that's difficult to do and is mostly rng at long distances. They even decompressed naval which was good but again it was only ships. Overall naval has potential but it lacks players giving meaningful feedback and gaijin doesn't seem to know what to do with it. Statistically saying the game is dying is flat out false. Looking at the steam charts shows that the trend of players is only rising with each update. The game is even always in the top 50 games played on steam. A lot of the bad things people cite even in this video, sure they suck but they're mostly things only hardcore players of the game will really care about and notice. War thunder is constantly changing war thunder in 2014 is radically different to modern war thunder.

[@braedynhoward3644]

Totally agree. I can choose what nation, what generation of vehicles, and then what type of vehicle I want to play. And when I get sick of for example tank RB, I can play planes, and choose from several generations and multiple roles of planes in Air RB. If I want fast paced, crazy gameplay, I can play Arcade, and if I want ultra real gameplay, I can play sim. And then Sometimes I play naval, simply to try. But WT to me feels like many games and so much variety packed into one game, if I get bored of one br or nation, I can play another. If I get sick of one game mode, I csan play another. I also play World of Tanks, which I love, but it doesn't have the same feel of having many games in one game. In that game, I have to play one kind of battle. Sure, they have events, but its all the same. With World of Tanks, and now War Thunder as my main games I play, I have what seems like an infinity of different things to play.

I tried to spade M56 Scorp, I stopped because the stock shell was APCR and went from Walker Bulldog to T92 because of decent shells to finally kill armored targets, and not suffer with APCR while being nuked by Artillery

Japan at 6.7 and 6.3 with HEATFS is just sweet. STA3s and stuff can just cleave through armour of all sort.

[@Gary_The_Metro]

There's tanks at 5.7 with HEATFS with the m36B1 (italy) having a 90mm HEATFS. Germany gets them at 6.3 with their bulldog (76mm HEATFS) and the JPZ-4-5 (90mm HEATFS) britain also has 6.0 HEATFS with the ratel-90 And I don't think I need to mention all the italian HEATFS slingers, we all know them.

[@roguefox4308]

Edit: After thinking of my own experience trying to get friends involved in the game, I can understand why Gaijin are trying to remove the learning curve. The one time I got a friend to play for more than a couple hours, he was constantly beyond frustrated at his lack of performance (flying Air RB in US props). He lacked the patience and desire to learn the mechanics, strategies, and skills to improve, instead just being emotionally reactionary to every death or kill that occurred. He's also the type to more enjoy going right into battle, instead of positioning and thinking the battle through in the climb. So, if they want to grow their game, they very well may have to market to those kind of players. (Doesn't make it any less frustrating though). > Is the game dying? No. It will continue to pull in new players, and the vets aren't leaving at a concerning rate as far as I can tell. However, to the vets, it is. It's not dying in the sense that it won't be around, but it's dying in the sense that the veteran players can't detect the same love for the game the devs used to have as before. They do seem to enjoy developing the game still, but there are decision makers at Gaijin that are pushing the game in a direction that the vets absolutely despise, increasing monetization, grind times, and reducing the learning curve to a roll of the dice in some cases. The most aggravating part, is when Gaijin don't see the issues that veteran players point out to them, mainly pertaining to balance and compression issues. They ignore it, and solely balance by statistics. This is strange, as they claim to spend a lot of time thinking if a mechanic will be balanced to add it, such as SAMs, AAMs, etc, yet once it's in, they don't think about balancing this again.

I can answer the naval question. I've played naval RB (bluewater) for quiet some time. I'm currently at the German BB's. All I can say is that it needs a big rework. Gaijin said in their last Q&A video that its really hard to make bluewater naval fun, since most players have no patience driving 1h to battle or shooting at a target behind the horizon. But what Gaijin should really do is just to copy maps from World of Warships. Currently all ships spawn about +10km away with no cover and whoever has the best guns and armor wins. Why don't we spawn behind big mountains on islands and stuff and put those islands all around the map just like in coast mode???? It is simply impossible to have realistic bluewater battles, stop trying Gaijin and just make them like coast mode. I've also played naval events that literally go for HOURS, one battle took me nearly 4h to finish, I was in the Tannenberg, can you imagine driving 20kmh for 4h trying to reach objectives??!!!! Our team had to capture docs and those were kilometers away from each other, so it took you nearly an hour to drive to every objective and cap it. And don't get me started on the spawns......it was a massacre most of the time. Enemies always spawn at the docs, you could literally spawncamp them, they often would legit spawn 500m away from me with NO spawn protection, they had no chance.

I agree with you. There are very few games like War Thunder.

Let me try (4282h playtime on my current account on steam). I'll be talking mostly from a perspective of a tanker/pilot. -Is WT fun? Agree: Not all of it but overall it's definitely fun, especially low-mid tiers. -You need to pay money to progress at a reasonable rate. Agree: Low-Mid tier is doable, higher tiers are very painful to grind. -Arcade is good gamemode Strongly Agree: Air AB is way more fun than Air RB from my experience, Ground and Ship AB are still ok. -Helicopters were a good addition to the game Strongly Disagree: Cancer. I would rather die twice to a plane than once to some heli sitting 10km away. It's better than it used to be but they're still annoying. They are one of the main reasons why top tier is cancer. Only good thing they bring to the game is satisfation of killing them. -CAS is good in tank battless Agree: It might be annoying sometimes but it's fun to do and it has its counters (other planes, SPAAs or gravity). Revenge CAS is the biggest problem but it's rare if you don't sit in one place all the time. -Naval is fun Neutral: I had some fun in it but I'm not planning to play it anyrime soon, and its economy is awful. -Events are too tedious Agree: Not strongly agree only because I never want to unlock all avalible vehicles, just one or two at most. -The game is dying Disagree: State of the game used to be better but I don't see it dying anytime soon unless there will be some sudden competition.

I agree with the pay to win aspect. I play mostly for free, and I am always extremely low on SL. I have many tanks that are researched, but I can't buy them until I grind the silver lions to get them all. I do love the game, and have a lot of fun though. As for arcade, I hate it. I play World of Tanks also, and I wanted to play a more realistic tank game with more features to the tanks, and war thunder was the best choice for that. I started playing arcade, played a few battles, and switched to RB, even though it took me a few months to a year to even figure out where I was being shot from.

[@chost-059]

Wt isnt dying and the player counts prove it, there is no competition to warthunder so the players base has nothing else to switch to. Ghpc is a niche simulator game without progression anything, just realistic simulation of tank combat against AI for the most part iirc. Other air combat games are either hard core sims like Il-2 and dcs or really arcadey like world of warplanes, world of warplanes was just objectively worse than warthunder in every aspect like the flight controls and how the game feels. I dont see any competition for warthunder appearing ever, warthunder at its core has perfected the middle ground of realism and fun/accessible gameplay and controlls/flight models. Wt has a monopoly over this middle ground between hard core and casual venichle combat, its so old with so much content that even a AAA studio would take years to match if ever at all.

[@chost-059]

The lack of competition for warthunder and the lack of potential for a serious competetor to even be made is bad for the game. Gaijin doesnt have to worry about the game dying, the game is growing in player count at a steady pace and with no competition they dont have to worry about a mass exodus of players leaving to another game like wt because there is none. Unless gaijin makes an incredibly bad change that affects everyone, the playerbase wont stop growing. AND NO repair costs arent that, if repair costs or the economy were that then the player count wouldnt be growing would it. The game getting old doesnt mean anything as long as there isnt any competition, just look at csgo(valorant is a thing but hasnt made any impact on csgo)

[@chnb517]

100% agree. I see this as the main reason other games by Gaijin are struggling. I've tried Enlisted and the progression system was a slog just like WT. How are they going to compete with AAA titles like BF and COD or even other sim ww2 shooters with that business model. Only reason WT isnt dead yet is cause theres no good competitor

Currently have 320 hours and a 44 day login streak, averaging around 2-4 hours a day. I haven't spent any money on WT, have never used Premium, and only play Ground RB. Currently up to 6.3 Germany and 6.0 France, the grind is unreal. I average 5k to 35k Sil per game. I've tried to grind planes to combat enemy CAS, but its just not fun and takes way too long. Never even touched Naval. WT in its current state is more like a tech demo with no variety. It needs more gamemodes like CTF, Team Deathmatch, or different types of objectives. The Battle Pass sucks, I'm not grinding boring parts of the game for such meager rewards. WT desperately needs more choice and transparency in matchmaking, too. I want Ground RB _without_ CAS, only tanks. I want to force MM to _only_ play at my BR. I don't care if it makes queue times 10x longer. You can't even ban maps/gamemodes without Premium. Camo bushes are also blatantly P2W and need an option to disable them.

[@samphardtake]

I have around 3000 hours ingame and i dont collect login streaks because they are not rewading and they dont make any sense. I did spend a bit of money ingame but its under $30. I used to sell parts on market from events,that way i would save GJN and buy G. Eagles. I agree with you,War Thunder is not welcoming at all towards new players. I agree that we need tank mode only,worrying about enemy tanks alone is scary,having helicopters and planes flying above is even more worrying. And for all these years we played this game,we've never been given a free premium vehicle for just playing the game. Wargaming (the dudes that made World of Tanks) give out premium tanks to their players once in a while. We never got anything for literally free,not even for New Year. We get events instead,that you have to either grind your ass off OR ofcourse give Gaijin money to make event easier.

2:07 "It's just a videogame" he said *Spent 3000 fucking dollars*

[@strategicperson95]

I guess I'll drop some of my own view to these same questions and leave some questions for a thought. I have played the game since it was in Open Beta back in either March or April of 2013, and my hours on Steam are recorded as 3055.4 + hrs for the game as of now; obviously less than actual hours as it wasn't on steam back then. Q: War Thunder is fun A: Somewhat Agree - It can be fun when you aren't being too serious. Though I find that only comes when you aren't doing things like events, grinding modifications on stock vehicles and other things that just make the game not fun and of course there is also knowing what your preferred play-style is. At this point I believe one will get the most fun with Rank 3 vehicles or at least around BRs at and below 5.7 at least with Tanks. Q: You need to pay money to progress at a reasonable rate A: Strongly Agree - After you research Rank 2 vehicles, the long grind kinda begins at Rank 3 as I had learned grinding rank 3 US and Russian tanks where the best as a F2P player you can achieve for vehicles is at least a 2k RP a match to unlock some vehicles; and of course with the randomness matches can be, it can cause some discouragement. Though it is at that point where caring about it really should not be something a F2P player should care until they have about 2-1k RP left. And of course if you are playing vehicles that aren't within the ranks for efficient RP gains to the next vehicle you are researching, getting ~1K RP is essentially a good match. Q: Arcade is a good game mode A: Agree - Although I mostly play Tank RB nowadays, I would be lying if Arcade didn't provide the fun aspects most people actually want, especially in Air Battles. However there are some problems such as certain vehicles are disadvantaged either by BR or just because of Arcades mechanics actually just ruin them such as thinly armored TDs that require not being seen to actually mean anything in battle but with their name tag being seen by everyone within the map really ruins them. But it is a good game mode for those just coming into the game. Q: Helicopters were a good addition to the game A: Neutral - I haven't played any tiers with Helicopters admittedly. I do have vehicles that would see such things but my running into them have been minor back when I did play anything past 6.7. Much like high tier battles having new mechanics that intimidate me, let alone that the vehicles I play will be stock which just adds more to the feeling of disadvantaged when thinking I will just fight against those that have a fully spaded vehicle maxed out crew is enough to keep me away from High Tier battles. Q: Close Air Support is a good thing in tank battles A: Disagree - Admittedly I have strong mix feelings towards CAS. They can be helpful in dealing with enemies sitting in heavily fortified positions. But that requires a form of team work which in casual matches is not something you will have. And then there is of course how disadvantaged even SPAA are at even doing their role of taking aircraft out. I have seen pilots actually dance around my shells while flying straight at me before ending me or heavily crippling me which is ridiculous. SPAA are also disadvantaged in that they also have to pick up the slack of the tankers when they aren't even meant for that role. Not to mention certain SPAA are just heavily disadvantaged, any vehicle that was sitting at 4.0 and above with a 40mm Bofors have been dropping in BR that for most nations that aren't Germany and Italy, using any mid-tier SPAA is worthless due to their poor turret traverse, slow fire rate, and overly exposed crew and ammo I wouldn't be surprised to see the M42 Duster drop to 3.7 at this rate. That playing USA, Britain, Russia it is actually better to bring Rank 1 and 2 SPAA like the quad .50 Cals over the M42, the Crusader MK II SPAA over the Crusader MK I as your SPAA, and just take the twin 25mm truck over the 37mm on the ZSU-37. CAS and SPAA need a rework, cause at this moment aside from most players do not want to play with SPAA, there is very little SPAA can do to counter air strikes in the mid-tiers which is where a huge complaint of CAS will be; espeically when we have things like the Pe-8 which rarely will get shot down by SPAA due to its high altitude levels, and how most players will have no fear of SPAA. Not to mention how hard it is to find aircraft when there are so many other things to look out for in the battle as well as all the sensory overload that it is hard to find aircraft especially in cramped urban areas without exposing yourself. And of course there are certain aircraft that are far too good for its BR, like the Wyvern. It may not be a jet, but it may as well be like fighting a Me262 Narwhal at 4.7 with how fast it goes. But considering that Gaijin seems to only focus on the high tier stuff, I don't expect anything to happen for SPAA anytime soon. Q: Naval is fun A: Neutral - Naval has some potential however I just can not bring myself to play the game due to many factors such as long queue times as I wasn't playing it back when it first came out, and the ship type split furthered that issue. And let's just say everything wrong people say about Planes or Tanks (BR Compression, Tedious Grinds, etc) Naval has those issues exponentially worse. I honestly want to play the game mode, but it just takes too long to get a match and what actual gains I have already achieved in Bluewater USA Rank 1 - 2 is like if I had jumped from Rank 1 Planes to Tier 6 Jets; it is just really intimidating and makes you feel outclassed and useless. Q: Events are too tedious A: Strongly Agree - I had felt this way even before I got a job where I had all the free time in the world. But when I did get a job, I noted that there was no way I could ever do these events task in even the 2 day limit; especially when the times I'd be off to even play the game are limited for the next day and I didn't need the emotional turmoil the game tends to give playing long hours to even get a task down weighing on my mind while at work. It is a distraction I do not need and I'm sure many others don't want either. Q: The Game is dying A: Agree - I don't expect the game to die anytime soon, but some of Gaijin's changes are certainly speeding up its death toll. Horrible Map Designs, Kursk being one of the worst since its implementation back in 2014 and none of its changes really do anything to address its issues that well. The BR changes that make no sense such as what happened with the Jagdpanther and the Jumbo Sherman with the 76mm. Gaijin is in a very ironic way adding new features to keep the game alive while also quickening its death toll.

People really forgetting the whole reason why CAS exists. It's there to remove those campers out of their holes and op vehicles that the team is struggling to take out. Like the maus when it's downtiered is a pain to fight in a tank. And I have been saved many times by CAS when I thought I would die. Also diversifies gameplay.

IMO it should at least be restricted to (in ground) RB and SB, that way people have to work for an aircraft. CAS in AB kinda defeats the purpose of the air tree (except in air battles)

@@alphanomad511 Trust me, cas is more annoying there. I play RB sometimes, and bombing and heli attacks are far less frequent than in AB. (AB) Tou want to exist? Bombs. You want to drive an open top? Machine gun airplane go brrrr. You want to have fun? Bomber and fighter attacks. You have no sl and play a match at any br? Bombs. Artillery also isnt fun but eh.

I really enjoy this game but sometimes It is a bit maddening, try to win SL for be able of use some expensive vehicles sometimes it's a nightmate. I love how Maus run out of camera for events difficulty, even playing arcade reach the objetive if you have more things to do than playing is terrible. I think a lot of problems of the game would be resolved if they fix the BR, especially for lots of heavy tanks BR is too bad, you fight against cold war light tanks that are faster, have better guns and pen you without any problem.
