I hate it when whenever the game is about to finish with my team in the lead, I sometimes try to land my plane in the middle of the map but there's always this one teammate whos like OH LETS TAKE POTSHOTS and fucking wrecks my chance of being awesome.
Also, most people in AA don't lead enough.. I seem to be able to clear the skies (World in Conflict style) rather easily nowadays by just "leading more than I think I should".
So anyone on an EU timezone that has BR 6.7-7.7 want to team up for RB?
It's sucks by myself.
See I tried that but what would always end up happening is I would die early game just shy of enough spawn points for my next cheapest vehicle and I'd have to sit there for a full match listening to my squad mates have fun.
Now there's a catch phrase between us: "I don't get to play."
Every game has been pretty cancer tonight in RB.
I really need a buddy. I'm just dying shitty deaths. It's so fucking frustrating. I don't see any difference between Arcade aids and Realistic aids, both are currently not enjoyable.
i find it kinda of odd that war thunder has a completely modeled battleship in the naval battles teaser and nothing has ever been said about it
Maybe step down a few notches, I play around 6.0 because the games seem to be more balanced these days.
Holy fucking shit.
I decided to hop into a game of tank RB just to see if it was as bad as I remember even decided to take a chance and use a 500% research booster.
80% of my fucking team was wiped within a minute of the round starting.
I'm sure RB is great but GOD FUCKING DAMN is it discouraging.
Boosters are cursed I tell you.
I have a 600% RP booster that has been sitting in my inventory for months, and I'm too damn scared to use it because of shit like that happening.
what are your squad mates doing that you aren't? if they play more cautiously then you should be reel yourself back a bit so you last as long as them. playing recklessly in RB is far more dangerous than it is in AB due to not having the safety net of guaranteed respawns, so unless you're solo and/or don't mind waiting being cautious is the way to go.
One of my squad mates argued that I play too cautiously in RB because I never rack up enough points.
Then I peek the wrong corner and get sniped halfway across the map, or I get flanked for focusing fire on something that I keep bouncing, and so on and so forth.
I just have an uncanny ability to always be picked off first even when we're driving formation and being cautious
I've decided to stop playing any tanks past Rank 3.
Its just horrible now.

Well looking at these series of posts, it's encouraging to see I'm not the only one who feels like they're being shit on by luck in this game.
I have some hope now, although I can guarantee that after 1 or 2 rounds I'll be back here crying my bitch ass eyes out. xD
Also, my question still stands?
Anyone wanna team up for some squaddy action?
@Kilgore I'm down for joining you. Just don't be surprised as to how much I rage at the game :V
Got the Flakpanzer Gepard at long last. High-tier SPAA is brutal, holy shit.
the amx-40 is such dogshit. while stock the tank is 10x worse than a stock leopard 2k and you've got to grind 207,000 RP before the tank becomes even remotely competitive. over two hundred thousand fucking RP.
the grind with the type 90 to get the non-stock round is almost as long but at least you're not stuck using ammo worse than the leo 2k's stock round for the entire thing, at least you actually get armour that can resist a fly farting on you, at least you actually get a decent RoF instead of being joint last alongside the so-called "challenger".
maybe the tank is good once you get the lolpen long rod ammo, but it's either shill out over 2.5k GE to get there or lose the will to live grinding it manually.

why doesn't the Fetcher's back and front turrets spin 360 degrees they obviously look like they can but they don't

I know there are arguements against it, but BOY would my blood pressure do better if there was some kind of pitty 75-100% of full win earnings for being in in the top 3 of the losing team.
Slappin' down 7+ players and then realizing that over half your team died, respawned, died again and quit without doing ANYTHING as you hold off slavic-style hordes of the enemy team who now occupy your spawn, the airspace, and your waking dreams - all while knowing you're going to get that sweet, sweet sub-2000RP and whatever excuse for SL for your efforts is just EUGH.
It's gotten bad enough that if I see my team has clearly thrown in the towel and spread their asscheeks wide in the first 3 minutes, I'll play a bit suicidal and just return to hanger. Crew lock ain't stopping me when I have 5 other nations to play - and spending 15 minutes prolonging the match is clearly not worth the rewards I'd get by just entering a new one.
Back when I was more spiteful, I'd spawn in a plane, 180 from the battlefield, and land in a clearing away from the hanger - then leave and go get a stiff drink or something. :v
Uhh, which striped panties are you on steam? There's one from China...one from North Korea, Thailand
honestly i think 8.0 france is pretty shite in terms of competitiveness too - the surbaissé is ok but it's just not worth going to 8.0 for when i could sit at 7.3 or 7.7 (♥ thunderjet) and be a million times better off. the amx-30 dca is nice too but it's currently got bugged smoke launchers that can't be refilled and the reload is stupidly long for no reason at all (both of these have got me killed more often than you'd expect). also the ooga booga feels kinda meh for an 8.0 jet.
I can't edit my old post, so to the guy trying to add me:
Steam Community
@Kilgore Add Dubeard then
Ye I fixed it. Or I'll add you.
Also a case study on what I mean by "please give me and this other guy rewards for bothering"

Why can't they just unfuck the Challenger's armour, add the lower-frontal hull applique kit as a researchable, fix the retarded APDS ammo loadout and god forbid even add one of the newer APFSDS rounds with more penetration?
Why can't they just unfuck the Striker's missile penetration which should be equivalent or very close to that of the HOT 2; the fucking devblog post announcing the vehicle says it has, verbatim, "improved penetration" and yet is
exactly the same as the Swingfire before it which uses an older fucking missile.
You know what? Why can't they just unfuck the entire game?
