War Thunder Apologetics.

[ThatZenoGuy]

Been playing War Thunder recently, and have been getting some hilarious Apologetics.

*In response to my 20mm AP rounds not destroying plane engine blocks*

"Use HEI (Mine shells) instead noob!"

Ahh yes, because I remember when engine blocks were made from wood, and thus vulnerable to HE.

And apparently using AP to hit engines on bombers and fighters is 'noobish'... 9_9

*In response to my after-battle report giving me tiny rewards, despite myself killing more players than the enemy's four top players combined, AND more ground targets destroyed than anyone on my team*

"The match was 'only' six minutes, and its arcade, and, etc"

Uhm bro? I get 1k RP (I got less than 2k for the epic battle I had...) from shitty matches, so how about you fuck off and not give the devs any more reason to nerf rewards?

Remember, 30mm mine shell hits were actually made of wood and fire crackers.

Not high quality steel and a shitload of explosives.

I actually don't like War Thunder myself.

I have played it before but It didn't click with me. Not to mention there was some sort of discussion that getting money was hard or something.

So, how is it? I think armoured warfare is better than war thunder and wot, but I don't play it either. I think I grew tired of tank games in general.

 

[Dr Fallout]

Tank games are shooters... I don't really like shooters... so I basically just play simulation or realistic.

Its not bad.

Its not AAA game of the year super mega gibemoney plx, but its a nice game.

I prefer planes (When the hit detection fucking works...), than tanks.

Tanks are nice, some are OP as shit, some are useless, and some are okay.

Making money IMO is rather easy.

Get yourself a bomber, and kamikaze as many bombsites as you can, and you'll make plenty of cash.

Or play early tier AAA vehicles and spam everything which moves.

I'd suggest playing it, if only because its A: Free, and B: not that bad.

Its a tank/plane/ship...Sorry, I mean BOAT game.

And yeah, realistic/simulator is better than arcade in realism.

Oooh yeah, I'm really excited for the boat part.

*Sighs*

I honestly don't know what the fuck they were thinking.

We've had SHIPS actual giant ships, ingame for ages, and they release a glorified COAST GUARD as the new game mod...

Its literally just SPAA on water, pathetic.

It makes me all the more excited. Battleship combat is boring and slow. It's been done to death, I'd rather just play Silent Hunter. But Coast guard ships... you can fight on rivers, in coastal areas (like parts of Vietnam with the giant rocks) and areas with actual terrain that's smaller then an island.

Battleship combat might be slow, true.

But all the hype, all the leadup to the glorious naval warfare the simulator fans wanted annnnnnnnnnnnnd.

"Here's a bunch of ships no one has heard of, cares about, and hey, they're like 70 bucks to try out"

Nothing wrong with the obscure. Fast moving coast guard ships are a lot more interesting then the dime a dozen battleship combat. Play World of Battleships.

The issue is that the coast guard ships are stupid, the highest tier ones would likley be easily killed by low tier ones.

It is also bringing more 1970's bullshit into the game.

Thank fucking god. A game about skill, more then the gear is a game I'd get behind.

And that's bad because...?

Wat...The whole point to BR's and tiering is so that stuff which is stompy, don't stomp weaker stuff.

And 1970's stuff means we're probably going to get air to air missiles, SAM, and other broken shit soon.

Maybe even automated AA or some shit.

Ugh, that reminds me of Oblivion's leveling system. No actual feeling of progression. Honestly, I don't mind having stronger stuff with weaker stuff but there should always be drawbacks. They should have divided the progression not by tiers but by war periods. All the shit and good tanks of early war period, all the good and shit tanks of the middle war period and so for the late war period.

Ahhh...

YES!

YES YES YES!

WE NEED HISTORIC BR RANKINGS!

Its fucking bullshit sabres fight WW2 jets which are barely faster than prop planes.

And yeah, there's a power creep going on.

A whileback, a Maus/Tiger 2 was basically the best thing ingame.

Now? Now we have fucking GUIDED ANTI TANK MISSILES!

Which instakill everything in the game.

 

[Dr Fallout]

Also, though it's already in Simulation mode... MAKE THE TANKS OF ONE ALLIANCE ON THE SAME TEAM DAMN IT. Not Russians fighting with Americans fighting with Germans against the Russo-American-German Alliance.

Russian rush blitz>Any other tactic.

Oh, and ATGM tanks getting kills so quickly, they can just keep respawning forever.

Yeah they do seem to favour the Russians... why am I not surprised...
