I know 1.0-2.0 is full of noobs and shit but me doing this and my team still not managing to win a fucking KOTH match is straight up retarded :(
 
Winning a War Thunder match is 3% skill, 7% rng, and 90% which team is willing to die the most.
It's an even 50/50 between RNG and team retardation. The outcome of a match is never determined by skill even in the slightest.
No amount of skill will prevent volumetric bullshit and absolutely no amount of skill will prevent your "teammates" from acting like rabid niggers. At least such handicaps can serve the purpose of cannon fodder, but some of these troglodyte extinction survivors unironically cause more harm to us than the retards on the enemy team by not being mentally capable of operating the WASD keys correctly. I cannot keep count of how many times some retard pushed me out of cover and got me killed just to miss several shots. I wish for tank-on-tank friendly fire to get enabled so I can kill these retards before they can cause any further harm to the team. Until then I need to rely on the enemy to kill them when I push them out into the open.

Oh, speaking of. I've noticed that volumetric bullshit has been more frequent lately with british 1.0 shitmobiles tanking multiple rounds on their flat surfaces including APDS, not to mention the Chi-Ha which now seems invincible to kill unless it's perfectly still.
 
Found the CAS faggot who wants to farm people who can't fight back.
Normally I would agree, but IRIS-T, BUK and Pantsir exist.

To be honest I'm kinda sick of the top-tier meta anyways and have been playing planes instead. The climbing is AIDS but everything else is fun. Except BVR bullshit and stock grinding top-tier planes. That shit ain't cool.

i won't lie that i enjoy bullying braindead SPAA players with bullpups or guns (fire and forget shit is too boring), but i much more enjoy farming CAS with my ching chong tanks and their surprise HEVT rounds that nobody seems to remember exists
 
Do I really need to see this every time I open the game?

Yep! :) I see your achievements list is even longer then mine and i cought a chat ban, after i lost it on the 3rd day of Christmas event, 5 years ago and started calling everyone, who was, even remotely playing like a tard, a literal NIGGER CATTLE.

It is to remind you, that you have been a bad goy and shouldn't sperged so much to warrant a ban (or pissed off a wrong person, like some well-known content creater or a mod).

Any niggas here play Nuclear Option?
I've heard it's actually amazing and is the option for people who:
1) Aren't going to work a full time job for years to get to the jet fighter tier in War Thunder
2) Aren't literal fighter pilot veterans to play it in DCS (though I like watching that Top Gun motherfucker on YouTube do his shorts where crazy stuff happens)

Is supposed to be somewhere between an Ace Combat and War Thunder in the flight sim and with a very well-designed mode around a war being simmed on map that escalates to tactical nuclear strikes.

The M42 Contraereo is basically my toy of choice for farming CAS, mostly because I can't hit shit with the Wirbelwind/ostwind except by luck .

I've looked into it and it looks very fun, I'd like a third person flying option though because I'm an ultra-casual plane game kinda guy, and last time I looked Nuclear Option didn't seem to have one.

In other news, War Thunder Live updated sometime recently and added a new skin category, 'Firearms', so it looks like Gaijin is laying the groundwork to sell you goofy ass community gun skins on the marketplace the second the Infantry mode finally launches. Not surprising but not looking forward to more space being eaten up by Timmy's newest anime gooner skin being downloaded to my PC because I was unfortunate enough to be in the same lobby as him.
 
CAS constantly fucking up my tanks in GRB made me uninstall the game after just over a month of playing. I've reached the point where helicopters can fire missiles from several kilometers away, and my Shilka (the one without MANPADS) can't do anything to them. How is that even fair?

You made the very understandable mistake of thinking that the point of the game is to get to the end of the tech trees.

In reality, they are usually the worst BR brackets (subject to taste and preferred nations). Usually because thats where the flavor of the moment premium has just dropped, which will be extremely broken AND how dare you suggest it was released broken to sell more units pidor, very racist of you)))))))))))).

However lower tiers will have people who've genuinely played 120,000 matches in their German captured KV1 so there's that.

For example, last time I played Italy had really nice sweet spots at 3.7-4.0 and 4.7-5.3 where they have an intersection of good SPAA, good tanks, good CAP, and good matchmaking (i.e. not mandatory full uptiers every match). Even ignoring that, I found I stopped having fun in general at about 8.3 which is about when aircraft have a major power spike compared to the SPAA available to most nations.

God have mercy on your soul if you play top tier.
 
New event dropped and it's the most retarded and boring shit ever

The reward is nice though, firework launcher cosmetic that launches fireworks everytime you get a kill.

how many hours to unlock this as f2p?

edit: lmao only 50 hits. last time i checked out event rewards it was like 18 hours of collecting random drops to craft stuff to craft other stuff for like a 0.01% chance of a vehicle drop or a decal or some shit

edit thought i was quoting from the most recent page not 5 months ago gg

It's easy to say "only" if you didn't experience the bullshit way they handled damage in that gamemode
 
play SPAA and troll em back
Nah
>Go light tank
>Rush cap, kill the enemy light (invariably a BT7 or Puma) who also tried to rush that point
>Suicide and spawn in your nations strongest UFO and beeline towards their air spawn


It costs you a pittance to spawn an aircraft with no ground ordinance. If you intercept their CAS rushers, they probably will have nearly zero SP to work with afterwards so you've knocked a player out of the battle. At worst they'll spawn an SPAA and not contribute to the ground fight.

Ignoring the strategic angle, dogfighting in GRB is so much better than ARB since you don't have any HUD icons for aircraft and you're fighting low to the ground (no fucking faggot passive aggressive climbing battles) over other players fighting their own ground battle. Its absolute peak dogfighting.
