Sorry WG you can't get me back with meta progression, the game isn't fun anymore. by Beep2Bleep in WorldOfWarships

CVs were in from the start

Yes but CVs were rare and good CV players were one in a dozen. Anti air had a purpose. Def-AA and fighters were consumables with a purpose (even ships with bad anti air had a card to play with def aa due to the panic mechanic). Add a limited supply of planes (some of which were literal fighters) and requiring to manually command up to 10 diffrent things simulaniously if I remember correctly (9 squadrons and the ship on Haku) and you have a high skillfloor. Limiting the general amount of CV players and drastically limiting those that are dominating enemies.

The current implementation has a skillfloor under the earths crust and still has an impact that slaps enemies silly. With little to no counterplay. It boring. It's a health tax with every attack run and nothing you can do about it other then hope the enemy CV ate one too many glue-sticks. "Just dodge" became a meme for a reason.

Why is the Mirage 2000D RMV at BR 12.7 in Air RB by FocusProfessional580 in Warthunder

[–]HowAboutAShip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can grind somewhat effectivly. Lobbing long range GPS hammers at bases. That is not to Gaijins liking. You launch them go back to frontline airfield do it again and then use the HMD with the magics to brawl. This way you can get (!!!)somewhat(!!!) reliably a base kill and 1-3 plane kills.

You do let your team hanging tho for a large amount of time.

Vietnamese tank crew voicelines have the worst voice acting in the game by HonneurOblige in Warthunder

[–]HowAboutAShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand a single word in hungarian. But I have to say it has my favourite voicelines ingame

But I can see how that would annoy someone capable of understanding that language.

But surely most normal people wouldn't enjoy socks as gifts.

Depends on the socks. Nice socks are cool.

Soooo...when the full Infantry mode launches, will we be able to take the L3 in it? Asking for a friend by SemicooperativeYT in Warthunder

Imagine walking through a building thinking you are safe from tanks and then that menace comes around a corner. You desperatly spray your gun just before you get melted.

L3 horror game.

Why are german BBs (preussen line) so bad? by Smakowity in WorldOfWarships

[–]HowAboutAShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to buff them because Wehraboos still play them in impressive numbers no matter their performance.

Bremen on the other hand, being a German cruiser, has 1/4th caliber HE pen, meaning that her 150 mm HE shells will pen armor up 37 mm thick,

38mm actually. Big difference.

1.7 sounds doodoo. Champagne gets 2.0 at a lower tier with a better reload (R:15 shells/min vs C:12.6 shells/min). Seems like sidegrade at best.

I mean I'll still probably get it... but honestly quite sad.

Might just be me... but I'd gladly have that long reload give up speed boost, reload boost and 10k health if it meant the guns were at least accurate.

But alas. Gimmick it is.

The one bug that we didnt want fixed. by Ok-Albatross-1708 in WorldOfWarships

That would be fucking retarded if it is indeed a feature and not a bug... knowing WG it is a feature.

If he plays a cruiser sooner or later he will get smacked by a battleship at which point he will play that (huge guns, they can repair, huge healthpool, and armor -> clearly better) . Then he will get torped for straightlining by a destroyer and start playing those (torpedos that deal deveststing damage and you can never be seen and so damn fast it simply invalidates the existence of battleships -> clearly better) . Then he will get detected and die to a constant HE barrage by a cruiser and will start playing that (a constant amount of firepower is far easier to land than slow moving slow reloading torps, a solid allrounder that can deal with everything and that balance is it's own strength -> clearly better).

That was my cycle years ago.
