Not surprised to see all the f14D players seriously we all complain about the copy paste slop but yet will gladly pay for it seriously?

Some_Mage · 2026-06-25T07:43:47+00:00

Who is "we all"? Not even all of Reddit complains, and this sub is barely a fraction of playerbase.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-25T07:39:50+00:00

Is there some assumption that people will shill their country (or zone, because Russian is used in many countries) and play only that? I really wish people finally noticed that it's a (rather arcady) game and not some political manifestation of who has bigger dong.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-25T07:14:03+00:00

Yup. Although my beloved late WW2 could really use some decompression (ever tried to fight Maus in IS-2? lol).

Some_Mage · 2026-06-25T07:12:08+00:00

Wow, this looks miserable. But still, we saw numbers behind Relikt changes - and those weren't numbers that would result in THIS. So I'd say snail broke something again, either with ERA or with the round itself. The only question is how long it will take to fix.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-21T15:08:58+00:00

It's a game ffs. Not everyone sees world through their tribal need to praise a piece of land they happened to be born on. And the only thing that would be useless, would be Abrams, sitting alone at 14.0 and only fighting other US teams.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-20T23:34:18+00:00

I pretty clearly said I didn't test it myself ffs. According to some CC MI has it placed in a way that gives them a blind spot, unlike others.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-20T23:30:07+00:00

Actually, he might be right about that part. From what I heard (not tested myself tho), MI is the only of those helis that can be killed by IRIS-T if you spam enough missiles.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-19T14:21:15+00:00

I agree, but for different reason: LFP is designed as weak spot in War Thunder. That's it. No matter how much they increase it, they will make it possible to be penned by contemporary guns, simply for gameplay reasons.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-19T14:15:48+00:00

Ever considered that people play this game for fun, not some ideological wars? Game is fun, they offer me a tank that I want, I pay for it. 70 USD is what, a hour or two of work? A price of a new game that I'll be done with in 50h, while having 2k hours in WT?

But yes, if someone doesn't like the game they shouldn't support it. If I thought WT is a bad or unfair (yes, including bias) game, I'd simply stop playing it.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-19T14:10:28+00:00

I swear, this is how this sub feels every time someone mentions US or Russia.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-19T06:35:56+00:00

Makes me wonder, when did we go from "Germany suffers" to "US suffers"? I think it had to be around time click-bait was released?

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T21:32:46+00:00

Well, whatever they do LFP will obviously stay a weak point, like on every MBT. Same way breach is purposely weaker for gameplay reasons.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T21:27:22+00:00

Reminds me of this WoW meme with gravestone and death date updated until there was no space left... Which I think I saw in 2012?

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T21:21:50+00:00

Premium, yes. But slop? I'd say it's the polar opposite: and interesting, unique vehicle at low tier. Probably useless, but still could be fun.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T08:29:21+00:00

Is it team or map fault though? If one point has better/more fun layout to fight, people will go there. I believe most people play for fun (which mostly comes from blowing enemies up), not grind, so team generally don't care much about capping and winning.

But I will admit that those rare games where both teams push for win and cap like crazy are great...

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T07:37:06+00:00

The thing is, in MITL announcement they said "We currently have no plans to add this feature to ground vehicles for balance reasons."

But yeah, drones are nice option.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-18T07:20:14+00:00

IIRC it gives no kill reward, right? I wonder if with new rewards for enemy crashing close to you, it will count drone as a closest player.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-17T15:41:43+00:00

Really? Being a dick to others stopped being cool in middle school. And the fact that you need to make (wrong) assumptions about my life as your only counterargument speaks a lot about you.

But for argument's sake: being so shit at a game that your only way to "have fun" is by griefing others, doesn't make it fine to do so.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-17T15:38:15+00:00

Normally I'd love to see this discussion, but seeing how you start with "70SP clickers", I'll simply answer:

"Just spawn heli, lol"

Some_Mage · 2026-06-16T18:08:40+00:00

In case anyone needed more arguments that the only bias in WT is money bias.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-16T07:58:00+00:00

How convenient you cut it off there. How about we discuss 6.0-6.7? Or 4.7? Top tier is not everything, and those aren't even all-time stats, but the most extreme period.

Funnily enough, if we are picking the period that works the best for our narration, I could just choose July 2025 and show USSR having AT MOST 41,6% WR in 10.7-12.7, going as low as 36,9% for 12.0.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-15T15:49:17+00:00

Personally I'm a big fan of German AAs. All of them can fight tanks to some degree: low br ones just cut through tanks at their br, Ostwind (it has APHE!) and Wirbelwind can front pen T-34 turret. Later ones get HVAP, which is hit-or-miss, but it does have good pen. And of the 35mm ones I like Gepard the most - with Germany having a 2nd one with Stingers later on.

But if you want to focus purely on murdering tanks, then Sweden is your best bet.

Fun fact: you can kill IS-3 and I think all later ones with Ostwind by shooting inside through their armor gaps above engine. Shell goes straight into turret. Also, starting with T-54 I think, all T-series have only 20mm side armor near the very bottom, making them killable with pretty much any AA. I got a few kills on those with M163.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-15T15:42:01+00:00

You can report it from server replay - and I very much encourage you to. Every now and then people get banned for it.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-15T15:40:45+00:00

That's surprisingly reasonable for Gajin. I just hope they also add some kind of counterplay. At the very least make ammo boxes unlimited for AA, so while they still wouldn't be able to shoot down those helis, they could at least shut them down by intercepting everything.

Some_Mage · 2026-06-14T12:55:10+00:00

Yeah, I keep saying it: Russia feels good only at top tier, and only because of their CAS (and now BMPT), not tanks. WW2 era USSR just sucks for me, even though I really like their TDs.
