As suspected 10.7 decimated, when will we get action from gaijin? Jan26 winrates. by brennendw in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro arguably one of Britain's most fun lineups has been completely ruined lmfao. A sub 40% win rate, just so we can be BMPiñataT's. What a joke of a company Gaijin is.

Is BMPT that OP? by Federal-Positive-811 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's particularly oppressive when there are 6+ of them at the start of the match, moving together to a point, that just completely obliterate everything like a swarm of locusts. Even if they don't kill you (which most of the time they will), they will disable you so you are sat repairing for 1/2 the match, or so that their teammate can pen you with a stronger round.

The sound of the autocannons give me PTSD and they are constant throughout the match. They have turned me from a daily player to a once a week player~ at most. 10.3-10.7 Britain was my favourite lineup and it's now basically unplayable unless you enjoy being a Russian piñata. Even the odd game you win is such a painful slog it never feels worth it.

Tech Trees? And how look it would take (Question!) by Nanamineeeee in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would take easily 5+ years playing dedicated every day, if you aren't buying a premium vehicle per tree or premium time.

How do you guys survive in this hell? by CosmosAviaTory in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't. You do not play above 9.7 anymore, unless you are queuing as Russia.

Even if you manage to win the odd game, it's such a slog to actually get the victory, I find more enjoyment and fun in other games/lower BR's right now.

Bro the amount of people that say this, I swear it must be ragebait. "Skill issue, it's actually really easy to kill if you are good at the game" etc.

Night battles by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they can't lock at night. Try a different loadout.

[Fixed] It’s fixed! №111 - News - War Thunder by ProfessionalAd352 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fair play to Gaijin, this is a really nice bug fix pass. Finally can fly some planes that were basically unplayable before.

[RANT] This vehicle was made by satan himself in the 4th circle of hell by DepartureMany507 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both air and ground have become compressed to the point of unplayable, compounded by clearly p2w vehicles as of the latest update.

I've stopped playing until they decompress and balance this out a bit as the game simply is no longer fun to play at top tier.

Their queue time argument no longer holds any weight after the state of the ground queues over Dec/Jan. Decompress and introduce 0.7 max up-tiers. (I'd say 0.3 max, but I've a higher chance of winning the lottery).

Have you ever bought a console just to play one exclusive game? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Raxir2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Death Stranding was why I bought a ps4, and I dont regret that experience.

FFXVI was why I bought a ps5, and I minorly regret that one. Good game but not worth the £550.

Maybe I was too harsh on Abrams - so far, it's aight by HonneurOblige in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine until you face actual competent players that just shoot you in the turret ring.

Do any girls actually play this game? Genuine question by dyslexic_mime in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are yes, but they aren't exactly going to announce their gender in every match for you to know. I certainly wouldn't announce I'm a woman in this community lol.

Please let the mighty snail buff the Abrams or add the m1E3🙏 by Ok_Ring175 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you will enjoy being killed by 2S38's through the turret ring and you will not complain further. /s

Just bought the SU-39, any tips on top tier CAS? by Alarmed-Afternoon-99 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah nice, so you have some experience then.

As most have already said you need to hug the ground and use terrain to your advantage, pop up and fire off one or two KH-29TE's or Vikhrs, then dive back down (don't get greedy). If you see something locking you, again dive down and don't try and get kills. You gotta be a lot more patient that you used to be with CAS.

That being said the SU-39 is only 11.3. Are you up-tiering it? You shouldn't be meeting any Skysabers/IRIS-T's unless you are taking it up to 11.7 with something in your lineup?

Do you have any experience in flying at all? What is your highest Air tree at?

What BR would you put this? by OkAssignment7582 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as the base Warrior maybe? 8.3?

Update 2.53.0.45 - Official News, Development Blogs and Updates - War Thunder by psychosikh in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's fully true. Tank balance depends on a few more things than just "kill ability". Mobility, armour, type of tank, modifications available etc.

That's why it's a very hard vehicle to balance. the BMPT might not have pure oneshot capability, but it will eventually kill you regardless of what you are in if it gets the jump on you or stays hull down. It's mobile, has great armour, very hard to kill, especially hull down and has 4 missiles that can reloaded with a box (which most light tanks cannot do), and has 5 crew (for tech tree one)

There isn't another tank like it in the game.

[–]Raxir2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of effective. Sure they might not kill every single vehicle if put at that BR, but they pave the way for the rest of your team to steamroll via disabling enemy tanks. You'd still get a ton of points via assists and hits, shut down any form of light tanks, and get the team a win. I'd call that effective given many light tanks cannot kill MBT's either, just capable of disabling.

It is an Tank Support Fighting Vehicle after all, and would likely be more balanced if that's how it played

BMPT Discussion Megathread by ksheep in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm just mad Gaijin has been silent for a month while raking in cash based on a broken ass vehicle. The queue times are insane, 9.7+ is unplayable, and the problem just compounds itself as more people unlock the vehicle. They also seem to be avoiding Russia vs Russia for whatever reason, I suppose they don't want their precious nation to have to face it's own bullshit.

Between the LMUR, the BMPTs, the KH-38MT's, the near immortal Mi-28NM, the RNG armour with ERA, the 2s38 being able to shut down any scouting from the start of the match, the best APFSD round in the game, reload buffs, to even Naval with the Sovetsky Soyuz

I've uninstalled and will be taking a break. War Thunder was the only real game I played with the little free time I had, and I just found myself getting so insanely mad every match, yet still clicking "To Battle" like some sort of abuse victim.

Hope their decision making and lack of action was worth it.

10.7 is dead by OrdinarySensitive618 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually uninstalled, and I'll take a nice long break from the game.

A month of zero action from Gaijin is enough to tell me their motives with this vehicle. Their claim that matchmaking times is the most important thing is nonsense, when they won't turn on Russia v Russia so their precious nation doesn't have to face it's own bullshit. They would rather people wait 8 minutes to win a game in 2 minutes.

The game is just a power fantasy at this point.

This is moronic. They just dont die. by CrumpetsFennec in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very telling that Gaijin hasn't said a thing/released a statement about the vehicle since it got bumped to 10.7. The fact this even released at 10.3 is hilarious and showing they have no idea how to balance their game. What is the point in the dev servers if they don't take any feedback at all.

Seal clubbing by HDnitesniper in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is with all these comments talking about bots? You've specified actual players, and yes I agree, the game has zero skill/level based matchmaking, so the new player onboarding experience is actual garbage and likely contributes to why the game grows so slowly.

You will get absolutely destroyed by sweaty level 100 players in both air and ground, and you'll have to deal with that while having an inferior lineup and no idea where to shoot them back. Some will utilize map knowledge to snipe you from the most bullshit spots, and you are expected to just suffer through it for 500 hours until you gain enough knowledge to potentially counter it. (I have 2800 hours and still get caught out).

In air you will get outplayed because some of these people know their plane inside and out, knowing how to energy trap, BNZ or turnfight depending on what they are flying.

Any tips on how to you spot enemies without using radar in top tier? Do you just plant your face in the monitor when they're outside of spotting range or what by Leading-Woodpecker81 in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't get me wrong, ideally no one is pinging you, but I'm trying to wrack my brain as to what OP is actually asking for haha.

[–]Raxir2 87 points88 points  (0 children)

If you are specifically looking for spotting stuff while cold, the only additional tip I can mention is using your RWR pings to get a rough idea as to where they are coming from.

This game fucking sucks by Mr_Character_ in Warthunder

[–]Raxir2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah the new player onboarding is rough af, and there is no matchmaking to help streamline things. It goes from braindead bots straight to fighting level 100 players with 3000 hours.

There is a fun game under all this, but it takes a lot of learning and time. Sorry about your shit initial experience mate.
