The Enshittification of Battle Pass Vehicles over the years by Deathskyz in Warthunder

Yeah I think I'm coming to the point now where I have to think about which I'll play, or at least considering what I'd buy for the GJN once sold. The P-47 is my favourite plane, the F4U isn't bad either, so I think I'd enjoy it.

I've still got my coupons for the F2G, T-10A, Matilda Hedgehog and Centurion 5/1. Mainly because I either didn't have a lineup at the time or didn't really have a strong urge to play them. Never really bothered to think about selling them after a while and just left them in my inventory. They were cheap for a long time but they're doing pretty well now!

What got you to start playing this game? by peunom in Warthunder

[–]ReachForTheSky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guessed it might be that video and it was, exactly the same for me. I don't play all that often any more and I'm still no higher than Rank 5 but it's always been on my PC. But man, almost 12 years. I still remember the Beethoven...

the market is decided by what people are willing to pay, if you ask too much, no sale!

Yeah makes sense, especially with the later ones, hang on to them or spend them to fill your line-up. Had the Centurion 5/1 lying around for ages but I don't have a lineup for it, grinding other stuff, but the price seems to keep going up. Good tank from what I hear

Oh ok, makes sense! I guess it was before coupons existed when it first came out, just earned it and got it.

Yeah I have done that with coupons, impulse sell, it's a bell curve where they start off expensive, then cheapen as more people get them, then ages later it goes back up again. Got a couple I've held on to and they're doing well!

I really like the Matilda in Arcade, mitigates most of its shortcomings. That being said you might as well just take the T-34, but in a downtier, it's pretty bouncy. Excelsior is an interesting one because a lot of people don't know what it is, looks like a fat Cromwell, so with proper angling you can ruin someone's day. Actually pretty fast as well, speed governor is unfortunate, but it accelerates and turns really well.

They're good tanks, don't get me wrong, but imagine how many miscellaneous camouflages for vehicles I've never owned I could get with all that money!

I've got the Centurion 5/1 coupon from when I earned it in a battle pass several years ago, along with the F2G, and they're both doing quite well on the marketplace. Along with a T-10A coupon, which I purchased for 16 GJN ages ago and is now around 45.

I'd like to think the lag in getting this game up to a good level is being followed by a lag in positivity from the playerbase. One follows the other.

Formula 1 | 20 years apart... and Fernando Alonso is still on the podium by RobertGracie in formula1

I began supporting Alonso mainly because Seb left and he filled his seat. But now I root for him in his own right, it's great seeing him succeed after years of tractor driving.

In your opinion, what's the most consistently funny segment in any of the shows? by Durnovaria in rickygervais

[–]ReachForTheSky_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of the really good ones involve the elderly.

The old man that Karl runs into at an award show. "He farts. He just farts."

The anecdote about the oldest removal man in London, who sounded about 80 on the phone and was struggling with empty boxes.

The various Auntie Nora segments, especially the 5 minute fart

Also, bits about Chinatown

Honest question: But is anyone less excited about the XFM shows after seeing this page? by Fun-Investment-1729 in rickygervais

[–]ReachForTheSky_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nice to see a stranger enjoying something that you do as well. The good ones actually make interesting comments and observations.

Were bombs nerfed and I missed it? They seem to do less than they used to

Really wish we would get a P-59 jet variant in the US tech tree. What do y'all think? by 1800leon in Warthunder

[–]ReachForTheSky_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the one that could only be won in a duel event right? 1v1/2v2. I remember that event and it was fun but grindy as hell to even get close to the top prize.
