[@matusviskup9624]

I think that those 20 kills he mentioned are meant for AB becouse in RB you need 11 kills to get a nuke, and yes as mentioned above you can get the nuke by other means than kills but, kills are the fastest way. Correct me if im wrong, i have never had a nuke in AB... And yes nukes arent that rare, i got nuke 3 games in a row... and every 5 games or so someone will drop a nuke. Another factors are teammates, they sometimes decide the game isnt ending yet and shoot you down(never happened to me personaly but i heard few stories), or just enemy looks at the score board and spawns in a plane before you can spawn a nuke to shoot you down once you spawn... And now with reacent update if you get close to spawning a nuke(i think above 2000 sp) the nuke button will apear in your hotbar. Sorry for my grammar mistakes if anyone gets triggered by that.

Everyone grinds to top tier…once they get there…they reach true enlightenment and go back to mid or even lower tier for fun

[@mazdarx-8rotary.97]

so true

[@СергейНикольский-я2ц]

Well that’s actually not because top tier planes are not fun but mostly because it has literally the same game mode as low tier planes with one little difference - at low tier anything that is further than 1-2km from you can’t do anything to you while at top tier you literally can be killed by a missile from 50+km and the biggest map is only like 100x100km with 32 planes that potentially can take 2-4 of these missiles. So the other way is play sim, top tier sim is actually muuuuuch more fun than RB just because most of the time it has “realistic” amount of players in matches(4-6 total) which is much better but still maps are way too small for these planes

[@thatoneguy1741]

My exact situation lol

[@Red-Magic]

Honestly the "grind" of War Thunder is so often overemphasized. There is no real grind, its all based on YOU. And theres no reason to go through the tiers anyways. The game is fun and plays fine at tiers 1 and 2 and 3 just fine. Going higher changes nothing, youll still have tanks in BRs higher, and BRs lower than you. Its dumb to "grind", just play the game normally

[@СергейНикольский-я2ц]

@@Red-Magic well there’s a huge difference actually. For instance if you face 2.0 plane in 1.0 plane or if you face 5.0 plane on 4.0 plane or even if you face 8.0 plane in 7.0 plane it won’t be much harder to win and it definitely will be doable. But if you face 10.3 plane with all aspect missiles in 9.3 subsonic flareless plane it is a different story, you can win but it will be much harder and in most cases will depend on your opponent skill, not yours. Or if you face something like F-15J in F-4J you literally will have less than 0 chances to win. And the only way to evade situations like this is to get top tier plane that will never face planes that are muuuuch better than your plane until new planes are added and then you get these new planes etc etc

[@Tepid24]

Important point from someone with a modest 4.3k hours in the game, been playing since ~2016, almost exclusively ground forces and 100% free to play: The game actually becomes fun when you don't care about the grind. You don't need that jet, you don't need that MBT. The most memorable round of Warthunder I've ever had was getting 24 kills in a Matilda 2. I could not care less about my T-80U or T-90A, as long as I get to throw in a few rounds in an M24, or T-34-85 or Pz IV F2. The game is at its most enjoyable at the 2.7-6.7 range. If you're playing Warthunder because you're a super-fan of >insert modern combat vehicle/plane< and that's all you want out of the game, Warthunder is not the game for you. There are other games for that, more specialized ones, with smaller playerbases, but they are what you actually want. Also, diversify. Swap what nation you play on a regular basis. Yes, it will turn the incredibly slow progress even slower, but it will actually keep the game fun, rather than a fruitless chase after something that will likely end up disappointing you. It will also make you a better player, giving you a much better understanding of your opposition. And it's an easy fix for the "bias" problem. Play a nation that you think is overpowered and you will very quickly discover that it is likely just as painful as what you were playing previously. Some nations have a good showing at every BR range, the more minor nations tend to have some holes in the range where they're weakly represented, but tend to make up for it in other areas. For anyone wondering how much research you can get done playing in this way, after the aforementioned 4.3k Steam hours spent primarily in Ground RB, these are my highest rated vehicles in the respective tech trees: USA: 7.7 (M48A1) Germany: 8.0 (Leopard 1) USSR: 11.3 (T-80U) Great Britain: 8.7 (Chieftain Mk.3) Japan: 7.3 (Ho-Ri Production) China: 5.0 (Object 211) France: 6.7 (AMX M4) I don't play Italy, Sweden and Israel. Yeah, it's kinda ridiculous that after over 4k hours I don't have any tree maxed (especially considering I rarely touch two thirds of the game in the form of air and sea battles), but I have had the USSR tech tree at completion before, but that was from the time of the T-10M being the top-ranked vehicle until the early T-64s and T-72 were added. Past that I took a major hiatus from WT and I doubt I'll research the T-90M and T-80BVM any time soon, since I'm having much more fun playing China at the moment. The M4/M24/T-34 lineup is effective, fun and fairly easy to reach. After that I've also been enjoying the US 6.7 lineup a lot. Anyway, all this to say that you don't need to invest thousands of hours to have fun in Warthunder, quite the opposite, the more time you invest, the harder you have to keep your perspective on how you can actually enjoy the game. Sidenote, the entire third of the game that is naval battles has to be considered pretty low on the iceberg, seeing how few people play it and how rarely it is mentioned anywhere.

[@dariusweisz7440]

i hate the US 6.7 lineup... terrible guns and weak armor... but i like germany 8.7-9.3 and germany 6.7 is awesome too

[@Tepid24]

@@dariusweisz7440 M26/T30/T34/T26E4 is an extremely solid core. I think the T30 was an event reward, so you might not have that one, but this is still a very good lineup without it.

The mindset that the game can't be beat is one that is all too common, and for good reason, it's easy to just hate the grind and think that it's the only goal, and that's because of the way the game is set up and how it makes money. However, to those who seek enlightenment, one can find the answer to what beating the game truly means, it is to realize that playing what's fun is the true victory of War Thunder. To achieve a state of higher being and enter nirvana, one must detach themselves from the grind, and play the tanks and planes that they find fun, only then will the suffering end. I have been playing the game free to play for years, and during that time I have unlocked hundreds of vehicles, but never did I feel disheartened and sad, for I just played the game for the fun of it, never for the sake of the grind. Head my teachings, share them with those in need, and you shall find peace beneath the cosmos.... at least until the nerf the thing you find fun :)

[@DaYemenball]

Honestly, same. I have bought premium vehicles, it no premium time or any of that. I just want some vehicles and play with those. I wanted and abrams and they have a premium abrams. I want a Pershing and unlocked it after a year. I also wanted the Sherman 76 and got it on my way to the Pershing. I just play to get what I want to mess around with. Never have I tried to grind to the top, just til I got my favorite tanks. Now I’m happy. This is the only reason I still play.

I want to add that there is also a secret Hangar Music that randomly might start playing when you have Italy selected, Yes, Bella Ciao is still in the game and it is a random super rare event that can happen and you can listen to it on the hangar.

[@veryyes8561]

A bit more about the music: -The original hangar music isn’t a lab original composition for the game but a Mozart piece (IIRC). -Fittingly for the Russian devs/composers, a lot of the music added for the ground battles is very Russian or Soviet in nature with all the percussion and low brass, which is a really great theme not just for the Russian tanks but the WWII era for ground battles in general -“Advance Australia” is the German menu theme but also plays for Australian vehicles too (or at least it used to? Haven’t played in a while) -There are old themes for the UK that have since been replaced. Both sets of music are pretty good though, although the older music is more evocative of old war thunder and that image of a strapping British pilot with some sense of nobility about him. The new music is much more imperial and grandiose. -The new top tier music pieces always begin with a minute or so for a quiet section that allows for the battle to get started or for planes to get in the air. -The actual war thunder theme was absent from the game for some time after the New Power update and its new theme song (the one with synth and drums at the start). Now, the old theme plays after a nation menu theme finishes (they used to loop) and then goes through other songs from the soundtrack. Also, the only (intentional) photorealistic person in the game is on Bong’s P-38, which has a picture of his wife Marge as it did in reality.

I think the nuke torpedo's came about because of the Submarine April Fools Event. If I'm remembering correctly, they had to increase the damage values of the torpedos for the event to be able to sink submarines. Fortunately for the player base, they used the same models as normal in-game torpedos that could be equipped to planes, or they increased the values for all torpedos for the event, resulting in some really nutty gameplay

I have to say, jungle isn’t really a random place in the jungle. It is located on Guadalcanal which was the location of the campaign of the same name. This evident from the text Cape Esperance being visible on the map which is where one of the many night action naval battles took place. Jungle is a little west of where the battle of Alligator Creek happened which was the first major ground action of the Guadalcanal campaign. It’s actually pretty cool

Slight Correction: For a nuke in arcade you need to kill 15 players (not including the points you gain over time) In Realistic you need around 10 kills, and also some captures and kill assists, I had 2400 SP and only had 9 kills, but I had 2 captures.

I’d like to just say that the skin they are discussing about on the PE-8 was originally a USER skin that was eventually added in by Gaijin themselves due to the popularity of it. The hidden image was not originally seen by developers until after its addition to the game. Just because the game is developed by a company originally established in a Russian occupied country doesn’t mean it’s any kind of favoritism. It just means it was overlooked at first glance.

I had an enemy get a nuke today, the worst part was I was the only fighter and left him alone after I saw the severe damage symbol, he dropped it about 10 seconds later. B-24 bias. Thats the first nuke I've seen explode and I recently got 1980 spawn points, I was so close to getting my own.

For 1 year of premium is $50 when there's a sale, if u play the game then just buy it & you'll get to top tier in no time.

[@elliotclose6038]

A minor nitpick I do have follows the "Lore", in that maps used to have little lore dumps that were in the loading screens, for example Grave Robbers' Cliff had you flying as mercenaries for two rival archeology teams. Lore started to die out when Historical Battles became Realistic.

[@samd9772]

Italy is at the bottom because if you dont grind another nation to top tier first, it will be hellish and near impossible - all vehicles have lower reward - tanks made out of paper, with SLOW engines - planes with weak engines that overheat after takeoff - repair costs worse than italy's economy - you have to rely on mostly Hungarian vehicles (wich most are soviet)
