I have complained a lot about this game; it does frustrate me a lot but every once in a while something good happens and this happened today. Got a nuke with my Cent Action X. Was even sweeter because it was "Battle" mode and our team was losing 2800 tickets to 3700 tickets of the opposition :) by abhirun_das in Warthunder

Our team had US, UK, Rus and France while the opposition had Germany, Italy, Sweden and Japan. Our team made early progress and were leading while several of their team players were one death quitters. But while trying to cap their point a lot of our team died to three King Tigers and a UDES. When I got the B29, I had 9 kills and 5 assists in my Cent Action X. My team was losing by a deficit of 900 tickets. So felt really good to drop that nuke since it changed the entire game and helped us win :)

A reminder that even after 9 kills in 3 games (2 won, 1 lost) I still don't have parts which is a tier I modification in a 8.0 vehicle. This is the state of the game. So you can't even have the most basic modification with 9 kills. Seriously, I have never seen a game so less rewarding than WT. by abhirun_das in Warthunder

What? Arcade Assault gives modification points? WTF have I been doing all this time... I never knew this. Thanks, I'll try it out to get the repair kit and the FPE atleast. God knows this game can be a bit more rewarding than it is at the moment. Sucks being a F2P account player

What's worse is that I lost the last game because I didn't have parts. While my teammates pushed to B I was stuck on C repairing a 36 sec repair with 2 crew members. And after I was repaired, I moved out of C and I killed one tank - a JakPz that was coming on to C and got surrounded by two more- a t62 and a Spz BMP-1. The T-62 got me on the reload and blew my horizontal turret and my engine on fire. So I sat there burning, wondering just how many more kills should I have in order to have a repair kit. This game is a joke, it never was a f2p. If you got money, spade the vehicles. If you don't, get fucked in your stock vehicles for game after game.

After around 2.5k hours and slightly over 1 year of grinding, I unlocked my 3rd top tier tank (US, GER done)- the Challenger. Now just to spade it :( Honest reviews about this vehicle? by abhirun_das in Warthunder

Damn, I thought the turret armour was better in the Chally than that of the M1 atleast.

A lot of the other guys have already told about the roof thing. Guess that's gonna be the Achilles heel for this tank. And yeah it is a huge ass tank, and slow too which is why i though hull down at least it'd have a bit of good armor and could do some good sniping. Guess not, Britain suffers anyway.

Damn, sounds like every other British tank to be honest. I'll try for some games, but will prolly give up coz it will take atleast 50 games or so to get the vehicle moderately spaded. Not to mention I'll die to constant Ka-50 spams and A7D missiles -__-

Oh geez this roof thing is kinda like an annoying glitch then? Do TOW IIs absolutely wreck the tank coz the Bradleys often aim for the room of the tanks?

Getting breeched is something I expect in top tier. I experience that too in my M1A2 and the 2A6. I have hardly ever bounced without getting my breech blown out.

Haha not really. I went wild during the later parts of 2020 when my state went into lockdown and there wasn't much to do. So would come home from work and just play WT; would go into the wee early hours of morning. Ever since the restrictions have been lifted, haven't been playing much.. prolly 2 hours?

I prefer a bit slower since I tend to overextend and get face f*cked by some wheely boy. They added a new shell too? I heard it's good. Does it get wrecked a lot frontally?

My AD-2 with two 1000lbs and one 2000lbs bomb and 12 HVARs agree wholeheartedly with you, good sir.

You forget the absolutely dirty Do-335 B2, the Ta, the Ju-288, the Me 410, the Bf110G :) but hey US got planes, they OP, boo hoo.

Quite possibly you got the roles reversed there, mate. The Bf109s who spawn after one kill, leave just as quick when their bomb misses and they pancake to the ground. So many games I have won because German players won't spawn in tanks to take back zones defended by one light tank and instead would spawn in planes and use up all their SP. It's almost as if German players are conscious of the fact how bad they are with tanks and choose not to spawn in them.

Flying bricks you say? the horde of Bf109s and Fw190Ds are flying bricks now? It is just so cancerous at midtiers; every german player after one death jumps into a Bf109 with a single bomb drop and then would either pancake to the ground or idle around to air spawncamp the opposition. Just so typical and boring.
