War Thunder - WWII-Vietnam war Era tank and air battle game

[Dickbucketz 117]

Thoughts on the Bullet Hell event?
I know it just ended but I got to play a few matches and I absolutely love it.
It's so nice being able to actually dogfight with the top tier jets for a whole match and I love it's fast paced nature.
Personally I would like to see it for every battle rating where missiles are present, sure it would be a nightmare for aircraft that get their BR rating based on their missiles (A-10 i'm looking at you with pity) but I think it would perform very well.

While I haven't played it, it should definitely be a permanent addition.

I feel like top tier, both ground and air is just a boring point-and-click. Tanks have mach-fuck darts with high pen, SPAAs have missiles (some of which I feel like impossible to dodge, even with CMs) and planes/helicopters have AAMs or AGMs.

The only people who would whine about Bullet Hell permanently replacing air battles would be skilless timmies that can't score a kill without Alt+X

Blame Gaijin for fostering these types of WT players, the players who constantly rely on cheap gimmicks to inflate their score on the leaderboard because they're k/d slaves.

Double post but fuck it.

So you call tank players stupid, so WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TURN AN ORIGINALLY AIR-ONLY GAME INTO A COMBINED ARMS GAME YOU RETARDED MONGOLIAN SLAVNIGGER?

if i wanted to play missile simulator i'd play modded ksp (bdarmory is fuckin awesome)

a mod for a discontinued rocket crashing simulator from mexico is more balanced than a AAA multiplayer game for fuck's sake,

gaijin do ur fuckin job, people won't care for some mild breaks from realism if it made the game more fun to play

but honestly, they make money off of player misery

Daily reminder that CAS is a retarded concept and CAS players are neanderthal niggers and denying them kills by J'ing out is a fully moral thing to do

I'm not sure what makes less sense.

People who have a vitriolic hatred of CAS, or adding infantry to War Thunder.

So..... Is the infantry stuff real or not?

Its real they put out a beta test application you can directly apply to in game.

There's even drones with a hastily wired mortar round strapped onto it.

I look forward to playing it for 5 mins then dropping it for helldiver's

I suspect it will be dominated by CAS and Helis like usual. It is only going to be available to start with in Modern tech. It's already said that they are using the squad system from Enlisted so I'm expecting them to port Enlisted equipment for WW2 era should they put it in at all.

Ever seen CAS gameplay? In Realistic anyone who has half a brain can outfly gun-based AA until it gets radar tracking, and in Arcade CAS is free to spawn in and it can still outfly AA if you've got half a brain.

Oh, and Pe-8 niggers are the worst niggers of them all.

Yes.

I still think it's a senseless thing to complain about in a game built on combined arms vehicle warfare.

Bonus points when you select to spawn in a fighter but get an absolute PoS that's slower than the attacker.

arcade players lose the right to complain about the game giving them bad planes

if you want to choose your plane, play realistic.

What wonderful insight. Or maybe CASniggers should get the cross.

I choose GROUND battle so I want to fight with players that are on the GROUND and not become a reward for some retard who mentally is only capable of pressing the spacebar. Simply adding this so-called "combined arms" gamemode would solve this issue, and I bet there will be tons of players queueing up for that, riiiight?

CAStards would go livid if we could spawn one of those 99% automatic SPAAs in Air battles so we could rape them just as they do.

Bonus points when you select to spawn in a fighter but get an absolute PoS that's slower than the attacker.

When that happens then I immediately dive straight into the ground - no J'ing out because that would give someone a free kill. Although I've been encountering this less and less lately.
Also the way it works makes CAS even worse. "Here, with just a click of a button you can hop straight into a bomber that's over the battlefield, and after you crash it, you can hop straight back into your tank! Don't worry, you won't have to pay a dime for that plane you crashed like a mumbling neanderthal! Have some autocannons too so you can kill pretty much anything, it's on the house!"


Also unrelated but the amount of niggers that can't use WASD right lately makes me wish for friendly fire.

World of Tanks is next door buddy.

Imagine choosing to play a game that has combined arms, where the devs have explicitly stated multiple times that a tank only mod will never exist, and then getting mad because there is no tank only mode.

Also I think its funny when you imply that people who use both tanks and planes in ground combat also play air combat. Most people who play air combat don't play ground combat at all, so not only would adding SPAAs to air combat not piss off the people you want to piss off, it wouldnt even be fun gameplay for the SPAA.

If you've never played the AirRB you might not realize just how massive the maps are. The limited range of all but the highest tier SPAAs make them at best zone defense objects that planes will simply stay out of range of. The theoretical SPAA player will end up sitting there waiting for the match to be over feeling as useless as a tank in a naval battle.

Honestly the closest you can get to having a ground only mode is to play GSB because in GSB planes are significantly harder to be effective with.

Sure as the sun rises if you are fighting against the US by the first quarter of the match all the dead people will be in the best fighter-bomber they have unlocked rather than playing the objective. Makes for a bit of fun playing an interceptor or a dedicated air-to-air plane so you can ruin their reign of terror.

My biggest issue with CAS is blatantly bullshit ones like Yak 9Ks having APHE shells. They're irritating bastards but they're at least clumsy enough most times to lawn-dart into the ground or get killed by a single plane up to oppose them.

Godspeed to anyone running the 9.3-11.3 BR bracket, I just had a BMPT tardrush me, tank a sabot to center-mass side (only lost GL belt without cookoff) and lolpen my Leo2A4 with ATGMs from less than 50 meters away

Soviet ATGM's are retarded in general. I've gotten smacked by BMP-1's nailing me from 25 meters in the city in Alaska, just pop out of an alley and derp me as soon as they stop.
