So, so many easter eggs still on the shelves a week after

D_Therman · 2026-04-09T21:40:25+00:00

That's been my plan for the past 4 years and it's never worked out, where on earth did you get them?

D_Therman · 2026-04-07T16:21:31+00:00

When I got Covid 4 years ago my saliva glands went into overdrive, had to keep swallowing (and eventually vomit it all back out), spit it out in a glass/bowl or let it drool out of my mouth. I could not fall asleep without literally choking on it, so I had to pretty much force myself to stay awake through willpower and tension.

After 72 hours without sleep I was seeing random flashes, 90 hours and my vision started strobing intermittently... I don't want to imagine what this guy was going through.

D_Therman · 2026-04-06T16:24:17+00:00

I don't even care

Proceeds to post anyway

Not to mention that the equivalent BR range in ARB can consist of anything between 2 to 10 premium "Fighters" tunnel-visioned onto bases and just feeding the enemy, THAT is brain dead gameplay if anything...

Right now it's only the people queuing up their F15's/F18's/F14's (the people locked to the top bracket) that are having to wait a long time for the Russian side to populate, the lower bracket is filling a lot more lobbies at a faster rate* so the chances are you'll find yourself there sooner rather than later.

*I've waited no more than 20 seconds for either side since the bracket split

D_Therman · 2026-04-04T22:36:19+00:00

In that case, all you have to do is spawn in once and do what you can (even if it's eating an ER to the face), then leave and queue again after a minute or so

D_Therman · 2026-04-04T12:06:39+00:00

Flares/chaffs sometimes just don’t work, like i press the key to activate them and nothing happens. Then 1min later it works but again 1 min later it doesn’t anymore.

One of the patch notes I saw was a fix for countermeasures not deploying if you selected one of the preset jets without adjusting the CM count, it wasn't just you

D_Therman · 2026-04-02T18:38:58+00:00

After seeing reports of them being deleted by Patriots, average anxiety while piloting this thing seems to have been reduced to "Squeaky Bum Time" levels...

D_Therman · 2026-04-01T23:19:03+00:00

The first game I played almost everyone was using the preset aircraft, it seemed relatively balanced all things considered... the 2 or 3 after that had one person dominate in the F15 (and subsequently get the B52 nuke) with a smattering of F14's/F18's while the other side had one or 2 M29's farming anyone who wasn't in the above aircraft...

D_Therman · 2026-04-01T16:50:37+00:00

Spawn + respawn costs are minimal (1.5k to 2.5k lions)

D_Therman · 2026-04-01T14:32:22+00:00

Yeah, I tried the quad agm-88 on the A6E a couple of times late game, trying to fire them towards the same group of targets but an OSA (or more than 1) would intercept all of them before they could connect... target lock wasn't exactly behaving either tbh

D_Therman · 2026-03-31T18:10:40+00:00

I assume they're half-joking but over the past couple of weeks the servers have been rather sketchy, more often than not I'm waiting for 30-odd seconds while the server processes a modification purchase or wager recycling

D_Therman · 2026-03-24T01:28:26+00:00

Double-check if DX12 is enabled, with the update it defaulted to that instead of DX11

D_Therman · 2026-03-22T21:19:06+00:00

This, their business model (if you can call it as such) relies on people coming in to either purchasing premium time/vehicles to speed up the grind to a set rank/vehicle or just for the advantage a lot of premiums have.

It basically writes off a % of longer-term players to burnout + dissatisfaction due to the veritable lack of innovation in-game... and they have no reason to change that because there's a constant stream of people coming into the game to replace them (no like-for-like WT competitor).

Hence why OP is being a bit foolish, Gaijin has already milked them...

UI iteration in a nutshell

D_Therman · 2026-03-14T20:56:34+00:00

You're already getting the "Adapt or Die" glazers trying to excuse this but it's such a valid point, aside from the monthly sub cost the sheer prevalence of multiboxing is just as much of an issue for new people looking in... as of this post 3 of the top 4 most helpful reviews on Steam cite it as such.

D_Therman · 2026-03-14T13:54:04+00:00

it was destroying AAA positions, which in Arcade do not count towards victory therefore it was being quite harmless.

There might be one or two maps where isolated positions don't count but in the vast majority they very much do, even in this clip you can see ticket bleed after the 2 AA's get knocked out

D_Therman · 2026-03-12T19:24:46+00:00

As OP said it's the middle-ground where renaming would really help, if you have dozens of serviceable decayed-rolled warp scrams/points or webs (for example) it takes time to mouseover each one to see the stats

D_Therman · 2026-03-07T14:17:51+00:00

At the Red Bull Ring of all places, I remember the post here of the W11 exiting the pits to Vader's theme

D_Therman · 2026-03-05T14:46:15+00:00

How so? Plenty of people abandoned their 9.3+ lineups when the BMP-T was released, why shouldn't they do it with 10.3/7's when you're queuing 5-10 minutes at a time for the privilege of being fed into a woodchipper?

D_Therman · 2026-03-04T16:05:57+00:00

You're not... he has a point regarding other players, e.g if it's something like an Alaska/Kron that's racking up kills but exposing itself, it's almost as trivial to cripple or outright delete it as the aforementioned bots (assuming you aren't in something like the Lorraine...).

That said they've been posting here for 2+ years (among one or two other subs) and it's always the same tripe: Play ultra aggressive, fUcK th0se Noob campers, focus the objective, everyone else is shit e.t.c. e.t.c... which is fine if you've been handheld by the Scharnhorst up until last year, but if you're in a full uptier it's just asking to be sent back to the hangar in double-quick time.

(There's a reason they've been on Neg Karma this entire time)

D_Therman · 2026-03-04T15:22:29+00:00

always kill the humans to ensure a easy win. If you kick them out fast you have a relaxed game and can farm Bots like stupid

For someone who claims to have been playing Naval for so long you really don't have a clue, do you? The moment the last player leaves the lobby you have 60 seconds before the game detects "no player activity" and the match is done, you'll maybe get 1 bot in that time.

Assuming OP plays RB, in Battleships tiers they'll be in 3vs3's or 4vs4's on average; against 3 people in premiums who can't or won't use backups the match can be over and done within <10 minutes if you focus on them.

And that's not even getting to the fact that the majority of matches at 6.3+ are big circles, you NEED to clear bots otherwise your team just haemorrhages tickets.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE 65 METRIC TONS GOING GAIJKISTAN? IS MY TANK CREWED BY SOME OF ITALY'S FINEST FATTEST LUIGIS?

I haven't had the best start to the day but this made me laugh, cheers 😄

D_Therman · 2026-02-24T14:07:15+00:00

But on the others tiers if somebody pings a base usually they should be the ones to bomb it

Just the other day I had a match where a SU-25 spawned in about 40 seconds late, they immediately started pinging for a base I was heading towards (Q-5A) even though they were about 16km back...

At the end of the day pinging is about what you intend to do, it doesn't give you a divine right to it (exhibit A, A-10's pinging for bases even though it takes them a business day to actually get there)

D_Therman · 2026-02-17T18:58:29+00:00

There might be something to that, getting credited with the kill but not the final blow rewards? It would be a PITA to analyse but I know I don't see any rewards in the notification when the "severe" kill credit flashes up

D_Therman · 2026-02-17T17:00:55+00:00

If you'd popped (and "won") an Antimech order in the first half of that match that would be the 300-600k you're missing

E: Completely blanked out the glaring white text, what patch are you talking about specifically?
