      I know that every gay on YT creams himself how it's the prophesied WT killer, but at the moment you could watch a 10m gameplay video and you've seen the whole game. It's extremely barebones.

        Try the single player tarkov mod it's a little buggy but considering it removes all the server bugs too I'd say it evens out. Got tired of the cpmbat system but not many good tactical shooters out there to begin with.

        I haven't seen any large YT channel directly claim it was a "War Thunder killer". Granted, snail-controlled zombies can interpret any positive video covering GHPC by a regular WT youtuber as preferring the former over the latter. It is always the comments sections that are filled with WT-addicted midwits projecting all their hopes on GHPC replacing their current digital crack.

        I would pay 140 dollars to coop with my friends and fight AI and then do INTENTIONAL PVP in arena with the gear we got from cooping, or something like that

        I'm just tired of tarkov tbh, it's been out so long and I spent more time in the shitty alpha stages then in the state its in now. I'm just burnt out, all I really do when I play is tasks, I don't really get enjoyment out of killing PMC's (unless its for a task) because it just feels like I'm murdering someone for no reason, I don't really need the money or his kit, I'd rather team up and bro-down with everyone against all the gay ass cheating AI and the player scavs.

        Oh also the playerbase is unironically like 85% "streamers" who are constantly playing the game for 3 viewers (his squad) and have innate knowledge of every fricking map, route, lootable, stash and try to abuse every little stupid mechanic the game has while they have an entire ER worth of drugs and medical supplies shoved up their ass with room for two enormous pocketfulls of loose 7.62x51 real frickin NATO tracer rounds.

      GHPC and WT are completely different premises tbh. And the game is still very early access, we will only see if GHPC kills WT when they add multiplayer, then we will see if they can handle the (mostly moronic) tank/military community.

          Well, some people are already claiming it's a WT killer, but like i said, they are completely different games and there's no MP yet.

          When they add MP and start having to deal with moronic claims and complaints from the playerbase, then we will see if it's a real WT killer or not.

          Also i'll leave this gem here as an example of what i'm talking about.

        I don't think it will kill war thunder. War thunder is designed as an addictive MMO cash cow first and a tank (or plane) game second. This isn't what GHPC seems to be aiming for, and multiplayer doesn't even seem to be a priority to begin with, let alone "competitive" gameplay which is what WT uses to hook players and make money.

          Second time you've said this. But for an "addictive" game it sure gets uninstalled a lot.

          I don't know why anyone would play realistic battles when there are no realistic tank maps or scenarios.
          It's just as arcade, just slightly more autistic.
          But honestly, no one should play WT.

          Nobody should play any games at all tbh.

          I know it won't kill.
          But if GHPC wants to keep growing their playerbase, sooner or later they'll have to add MP, that's how shit works nowadays. Just like how DCS did.

          Also i wouldn't consider WT addictive unless you're a moron who keep spending money on it, i have like 3500 hours and nowadays i barely play it.
          WT is more Pay to Grind than Pay to Win IMO.

            I probably spent under $100 over the 7 or so years I played but would consider the gameplay addictive. It's designed to frustrate and cause burnout but then hook you back in when you return after a couple weeks. This keeps you returning constantly over the years.
            Notice how you'll get good mm and favourable rng to start with but then after a while it's a streak of uptiers and rng frickery that screws you multiple games in a row.

                Well it's not only the uptiers that factor in here.
                Bottom line is the game is a deliberate cycle of punishment and reward that is designed to keep you coming back. Don't kid yourself that it's primarily designed to be skill based or fun.

                The trick is to not play the game in the intended way.
                See

                Let me tell you a secret.
                If you played actively for a while, even while not being a paypig, you'll probably have unlocked some bushes.
                Go to the 3.0 StuH, apply those.
                Learn to use the rangefinder and then snipe people at large ranges.
                You'll have 80mm of armor in a BR range where quite a lot of tanks don't even have that much pen at point blank. Long range means they can't flank and noobs suck at long range shots, especially when you've attached some foliage.
                The only disadvantage is the reload time and that the shells have a massive drop since you're firing 105mm HEAT shells, which have a shitton of explosive filler, so sometimes you get a doublekill just through collateral damage. Your HE round has 22mm of pen as well, so sometimes you can just use that and shoot vaguely near an enemy tank to kill it since 2.0 tanks actually have quite a lot of parts with only 20mm of armor and you will get matched up against them sometimes.
                It's disgusting, but you'll talk out of most games with about 10 kills and 0 deaths. If you need a Rank III vehicle for challenges and events in your line-up, use the 3.0 Me410.
                You don't even need to kill something with it, just make sure you suicide out and use it and your match will count as a RIII battle. Very useful for grinding through events or missions with conditions like a certain number of kills.
                Be aware that if you forget to suicide out and survive the entire battle with your StuH it'll count as an RII battle for these purposes.

                Shit like that is all you should do in the game, the classic 5 tanks + 2 planes shit just kills you from the inside.

          I think it will kill WT top tier. I got attracted to WT because I wanted to play cold war kino but apparently the tier all the cold war tanks are in sucks ass and its going to take me a year of grinding to get to that tier anyways. people like me who just want to larp in the fulda gap will pay $30 for GHPC, skip the grinding and the snail's bullshit, and maybe even get a game that is more balanced too and built from the ground up around the vehicles they actually want to play.

            Nup, and I'll give you four reasons.
            1. RB MASSIVELY advantages paid players over free plays, and I'm not paying real money for fake plants.
            2. RB is not at all realistic. It's just more unbalanced.
            3. The people who b***h endlessly about the game are INEVITABLY b***hing about stuff exclusive to RB (drones are the worst example of this yet)
            4. AB is more fun. The tanks go faster, the guns are more accurate, nobody is sneaking around, it's all flanks and frontal assaults.

            The fact that nobody gives a shit about planes means I'm enduring near constant kamikaze attacks (that don't actually do anything) but I still have the speed to outrun a bomb (even in a heavy) is all I think about when I hear RB players b***hing about air. As if air is not "realistic."

                No, in fact not at all. I've played RB.
                In real tanks the driver and gunner are not the same person who's going to hop in a plane and go chasing the guy that just killed him when he dies. Heavy tanks can call in artillery too, and there's infantry everywhere.
                There is nothing realistic about realistic battles. Especially not the tactics.

                It's not easier. You can't just camp in a bush and wait till you see movement, you have to move, you have to have a plan.

                Nobody has claimed they're realistic, I like playing SB a lot and it's certainly more realistic than RB.

                No it isn't. The fact is that RB is pay to win FAR more than AB, because RB isn't balanced, AB is.

                You are not saying anything about why you or anyone else should play RB.

                I've been playing for like 8 years and I still haven't played a single modern tank.
                Tank warfare after WWII isn't fun and I'd wish they'd cut off the cold war tanks from matchmaking with WWII tanks so I could play late war tanks.

                I like the modern tanks. T-80BVM is fun, though T-90M isn't. Abrams is fun. ADATS is memish but fun.

                Let me tell you a secret.
                If you played actively for a while, even while not being a paypig, you'll probably have unlocked some bushes.
                Go to the 3.0 StuH, apply those.
                Learn to use the rangefinder and then snipe people at large ranges.
                You'll have 80mm of armor in a BR range where quite a lot of tanks don't even have that much pen at point blank. Long range means they can't flank and noobs suck at long range shots, especially when you've attached some foliage.
                The only disadvantage is the reload time and that the shells have a massive drop since you're firing 105mm HEAT shells, which have a shitton of explosive filler, so sometimes you get a doublekill just through collateral damage. Your HE round has 22mm of pen as well, so sometimes you can just use that and shoot vaguely near an enemy tank to kill it since 2.0 tanks actually have quite a lot of parts with only 20mm of armor and you will get matched up against them sometimes.
                It's disgusting, but you'll talk out of most games with about 10 kills and 0 deaths. If you need a Rank III vehicle for challenges and events in your line-up, use the 3.0 Me410.
                You don't even need to kill something with it, just make sure you suicide out and use it and your match will count as a RIII battle. Very useful for grinding through events or missions with conditions like a certain number of kills.
                Be aware that if you forget to suicide out and survive the entire battle with your StuH it'll count as an RII battle for these purposes.

                You want to play who's better at using the rangefinder and grinding out the free bushes, go ahead.
                My point is that it's not realistic at all, and nobody seems to actually enjoy it, all I hear from RB players is b***hing.

                Are you mentall ill?

                Thanks. I did actually paypig for 4x bushes and I've played the StuH a bunch. I prefer to use it on the city maps because of the shell drop that you mentioned. It will one shot most tanks. Lately I'd rather just drive around with the Puma and scout until I can get in a plane. So many people are focused on just holding W and going straight at the enemy in the most common tanks.

                >Thanks. I did actually paypig for 4x bushes
                If you ever wanna buy something again, just do some quick maffs to figure out if the first vehicle you unlock in an event gets you more if you sell it or if selling the resources will give you more (the prices will be ridiculously high at the beginning and get higher again near the end), nearly always the resources are worth more though.
                Sell em, make a couple hundred GJC, make golden eagles out of them and you can buy enough shit with that.
                >I prefer to use it on the city maps because of the shell drop that you mentioned
                Range finder + set the elevation for the turret on your mousewheel so you can hit the rangefinder, get a number like ~600, immediately scroll to 600 and shoot about where the enemy is without issues while aiming directly at it.
                90% of the people play the game for years and use neither of those things for some reason (probably because a lot don't know those options exist and you have to manually set keys for them to use them properly), but both give a massive advantage.

        Let me vent here. The zero has no business in 3.3. yes It turns good but other than that It has an 860 HP engine. The premium HellCat Is at 3.0 with a 2,697HP engine. And a top speed 150 km/h above the Zero. The Italian MC205 series 1 is at 3.7 with a 1500HP engine and an armament of shitty Vickers . 50 Cal and 2 7.7mm. WTF

        Same Br Russians have a La-5F with twin 20mm

      OP is right in that the game is shit, doesn't matter what nation you play. The gameplay is garbage designed to fry your dopamine receptors and get you hooked. Literally everything they add these days is designed purely to increase frustration and make you pay money. The gameplay is the same stale garbage it's been since day 1, except now they've added a metric ton of much shit on top of it. The rock paper scissors CAS bullshit, the RNG, constant balance changes to frick with players, pay to win, broken economy, rampant bugs and awful map design make the game unbearable.
      Frick this game, I've been off it for a year and a half and have no intention of going back. Hopefully GHPC delivers and actual enjoyable tank game so I can get my fix that way.

        Stugs are extremely fun to play and since the front armor is volumetric hell you can take some shots, as long they don't aim for the driver port.

        The proto panther has 0 armor btw, if you play like a normal Panther you're fricked.

            The thing is that Stugs are pretty wide, so it pivots really fast. One of my tricks is to just jiggle and wait for them to shoot, so volumetric can do it's magic and bounce.
            Also that 75mm at 4.0 is just sealclubbing, you can take it to 5.0 and it still kill kick ass.

            The Stug F at 3.3 has the same cannon and shell.

            >The proto panther has 0 armor btw, if you play like a normal Panther you're fricked.
            I don't really play the panthers because they're at a dumb BR range where heavy frontal armor is meaningless because you hit people with 300mm pen at all ranges.

            5.3 is a good BR for the Panther D, because you can bounce pretty much anything from 5.3/5.7.
            Now if you get uptiered to 6.3, ye fricked, specially against IS-2's and other annoying HEAT slingers.

        I suggested GHPC because it's another tank game with decent penetration mechanics, I didn't say it would kill war thunder.

        I would love this, but Gaijin would never do it. I just want to play my Tiger II against IS-2's and prototype allied heavy tanks, not get raped by ATGMs and sabots.

    War thunder is a pretty cool accessible game I used to spend a lot of time in the plane test drive fooling around too. The shitty monetization shitty game design/balance and shitty mechanics killed it for me though. Fix even one of those and it'd have been playable.

      I still haven't played a single air battle. Occasionally I'll get in a plane in ground AB, my plane just immediately disintegrates because I've got no idea what the frick I'm doing, then go back to playing tanks.

      Unironically? Being completely real with you?
      Sweden, Italy and China mains are some of the best players i've seen on GRB in my experience.

      Always being helpful with the team, giving cover and helping with repairs. Hell i even had some guy in a Ariete towing out of the enemy line of sight.

      The "big tree" are usually made up of morons, paypigs and other types of homosexuals that don't know what "teamplay" is.

      Pz4F2 and Stug 4 are just too strong for it's respective BR's, but at the same time they should stay there, otherwise they'll become food for early cold-war shit.

      >Pz4F2 and Stug 4 are just too strong for it's respective BR's
      Like I said, I stomp stugs. Stug IVs don't bother me. Hetzers kinda bother me because they're tiny little ratbags, but stugs are just fodder.
      But the F2, probably 20% of the deaths I've had.

      Well, some people are already claiming it's a WT killer, but like i said, they are completely different games and there's no MP yet.

      When they add MP and start having to deal with moronic claims and complaints from the playerbase, then we will see if it's a real WT killer or not.

      Also i'll leave this gem here as an example of what i'm talking about.

      I don't know, I watched Spookston's vid on it, it looked like a microprose game from the 90s. I wasn't impressed.

        i've a good player take a P-51H into a high tier jet match. Thats the lightweight variant with the supercharger, i think one of the fastest prop aircraft in the game.

        Anyways, he killed like 2 mig-19's and a mig-21 because he knew how to dogfight and they didnt. And also because props are harder to get a missile lock on. I went back into the replay and I personally witnessed him, TWICE, stall his engine and roll his exhaust stack out of view to make the missiles lose track.

        Eventually he died to a wing fire, when someone lobbed a radar missile at him.

        My friend killed an A-10 in a P-26A-33, my other friend was baiting an A-10 to go vertical and he just swooped in with his P-26 and gunned down everything.
        The only reason he was in an P-26A was because he was new and bought the A-10 premium because we tricked them into playing War Thunder but selected the wrong plane at the hangar by accident.

        back in the olden days when there was only like 3 jets, we had one friend who had a sabre, but the rest of us were tier 3 or so with planes. we took out i-15 with rockets (the gucci level 1 one) against a team of jets. you can turn on a dime and if they line up on you, you punch off some ffars and hope they hit. very fun but you will die

    New to jets. I am finding it impossible to shoot down planes in jets past 9.0. I can hit shit even with the crappy 23mm and 37mm handily enough but at 10.3 with the much superior American 20mm I just cannot land a shot even at planes 300mm away. It's driving me crazy, I can get 5 kills using the Yak-3 so it's not like I never knew how to aim, I just am struggling so much with the difference in how these more modern planes handle, it's killing me.

      Oh yea those soviet 23mm and 30mm have low velocity, so they're dogshit to aim. It will take a lot of practice for you to hit.

      23s and 37s on the early soviet jets hit like trucks but do require experience leading. One tip is to not zoom in when shooting with those guns, the lead is such that you usually can't keep your point of aim and enemy on screen together, learn to shoot zoomed out with them.

    I don't know who needs to hear this but War Thunder will never become a better game. Gaijin will not fix any of the frustrating shit or improve any game modes. I played the game for about three years without seeing any meaningful improvement. War Thunder exists to be Gaijin's cash cow, and as long as the game continues to make money, Gaijin does not see any problems. If you are not satisfied with the current state of the game, then there is simply no reason to continue playing. More vehicles may be added, but the game will never actually become any better. If you are not having fun, just uninstall the game and find something better. You will not be missing anything.

    At the risk of sounding like a Ukraine shill, this is a very Russian sort of approach to game design. I've seen the same thing happen with Eagle Dynamics and DCS, where core features like AI have been neglected since the game's inception in favor of creating new virtual toys for people to spend their money on.

      I've never put my hands on WT but I've watched Spookston since 2017. WT sounds eerily like Armored Warfare, it would be abandonware if it wasn't for the considerable marketing campaign and the fact that it fills a niche in multi player tank games.
      In fact, the US servers only lasted six months from the start of the open beta, EU servers lasted a little longer. The Russian servers were the only ones that remained very active for the 3 years until the server merge, Russian players fricking love that unfinished mess of a broken game and they'll TK you for not being Russian.

        I took a look at Armored Warfare's Steam page, and it actually looks MORE polished than War Thunder. IFV's being able to dismount infantry is something that will never, ever be added to WT. The Type 16 seems to be the exact same model as the one in WT too.

          You DON'T want infantry in TW or GHPC
          the way AW introduced infantry broke the game. The infantry don't change depending on tiers, so at low tiers (1-4) you get infantry wielding AT-4s doing 800 pts of damage to your 1200 hitpoint vehicle when you drive around a corner.
          I am convinced not a single tank game on the market knows how to put infantry in without it sucking ass, and it's why I've stuck to ArmA 3 despite its lackluster tank gameplay.

                You missed out. My and my clan used to grief in the chally 1 back when everyone spammed it at tier 7, and set all the enemy challies on fire because external fuel tank fires were a thing and no-one knew the chally had hidden tanks in front of the tracks. Tier 6 used to be ultra balanced though, it was the perfect game for a while, then they tried to rebalance the entire fricking game, a plan that was headed by someone that went on to work for Wargaming.

      True. I played from the very moment tanks went open to the public, stopped playing for good about 3-4 years ago. I came to the same conclusions.

      It's a game with lots of potential that will never be realized. It will shamble along until people stop paying, but it won't change. Although if people pay, why should they?

    Take it from me, as a person who has grinded up to Tier VII Ground, Air AND Naval for USA, USSR & Germany, and near-top tier for Japan, Sweden, France & Great Britain, that WT is a good game up to a certain point. And that point for Ground is 6.7. After 6.7 the game loses its magic and becomes a reactions-based shooter where fast, light tanks dominate and armor literally means nothing. Air can be fun even up to 11.3, as I fricking love my F-14 and Mig-23. Even Naval is decent in my opinion up until 5.7-ish, until Battlecruisers and Battleships absolutely ruin Naval for anyone who doesn't have them. And even for those that do have BC's & BB's, Russian ones just delete everything else for no reason. Seriously, Russian 305mm shells have more penetration and explosive mass than the fricking USS Arizona's 14 inch (356mm) guns, and the Arizona is stuck with a 50 second fricking long reload while the Kronshtadt has a 20 second reload.

    I added up some figures for all the shit I've done in War Thunder and found out that "technically", the rare vehicles I've earned without paying throughout my 8 years or so of WT, are worth $5,888 on the current market. And then the amount of actual money I've spent on premium tanks totals $1,963. I like to say to myself well, it's over 8 years so it's not that bad. But then I also have to figure in Premium account and GE purchases and I get very depressed and don't want to share that number.

    So in closing, War Thunder can be a fun and great game until a certain point. Start out as a free to play player and at least grind to rank 3 before deciding to buy any premium vehicles. The following statement will probably irritate some sensitive people, but buying premium vehicles does not give you a more powerful vehicle over a free to play player (with a few exceptions like the American T28 or the German Ru 251). They're there mostly to help you grind faster, and that's it.

    I used to play the StuG 3 G with the BF-109F4 almost exclusively. It was the only BR that I found fun. A couple months ago they completely fricked it. Now you get 4.7 or 5.0 games 75% of the time. In the past you would get 4.0 and 3.7 pretty much exclusively. Saddens me because I created a Squadron for LARP with my friends and even applied a beautiful set of camouflage bushes on my Sturmgeschütz. I would average 8+ kills a game using ambush tactics against Sherman’s on 3.7 and 4.0. But now all I fight are KV-85’s and T34-85’s. I wish I could go back to last year when I could play all night and be immersed getting 12+ kills on French and German maps. Sad

        Hi tourist.
        Bye tourist.

        4.0 German tanks don't exist
        because they were all moved to 3.7
        they managed to get a fricking panzer 4 H to 3.7, the absolute state of German players

        Is prop-plane dogfighting still fun in this? Low-to-mid tier aerial and naval matches were the most fun parts of this game to me. Haven't played in ages, be a shame if they gutted those aspects.

        yes it's fun
        but prepare to fight entire teams of 1 off prototype vehicles since they're premiums and Thus most players use them to grind

          The adjustment was correct, putting them into Rank II wasn't and makes doing medium missions with them impossible. Also that's just 1 model you brainlet.

                The netcode has always worked on my machine, might be an issue with where you are specifically.
                As for rendering, I think that's actually intended. Vehicles have visibility scores and depending on the environment, range and what you use to look at them in which magnification and mode they aren't visible.

        I don't think either tank game has appreciably more skill than the other. WoT has the two problems of HP meaning you generally cannot kill an enemy in fewer than 4-5 shots, and RNG where perfect play can result in whiffed shots. Played both for hundreds of hours, playing neither now.

        I do like the WT damage approach a little better because smaller cannons with followup shots are viable and there is only a marginal advantage to having a bigger "per shot damage/alpha"

    i still just can't get over how hyped I was for tanks when first released, how I thought WoT was finally finished, and now so many years later I'm 100% of the opinion that WoT is the better tank video game. it took a lot of changes on WoT's part to get better, and it's WT that made those changes happen, but it's crazy there has been such a stubborn refusal to scrape together a single fun game mode, a single set of fun and fair damage mechanics, or even sensible spawn mechanics.

    WT's fidelity is great but it's not playable, it's got all the polish and balance of a tech demo so it looks cool but simply plays like irredeemable shit.

        >health bars
        single healthbar instead of a shitload of tiny invisible ones. it's simply a superior game design for arcade and RB game modes. there's enough skill inherent in the armor gameplay and you just need a good set of scouting mechanics for there to be a fun videogame, WT's approach of making sure a hit is not just a kill, it's a stunlock, puts everything into their insanely buggy render culling implementation that is hilariously mogged by WoT's genuinely better scouting mechanics. (broken bullshit like E-25s notwithstanding)
        >crack pipe tanks
        no worse than real vehicles given crack pipe performance, as long as they're actually balanced
        >wait for 10 seconds to be able to aim
        yeah it sucks when low end shit tanks have bad accuracy performance but WT's invisible accuracy RNG is way worse design
        >simplified damage models
        WoT could add hitboxes for every component like WT does and it'd still be the better game for it's
        >matchmaking
        >maps

        even gaijin seems to acknowledge this with how it approached the naval game design. crew members are just a proxy for HP and that portion of the game is somehow way more fricking fun.

        the only mode that unified HP doesn't belong in is aircraft, for obvious reasons.

          unless you're firing 7.62 MGs, all crew die in one shot.
          and 75+mm cannons will kill any module in one shot
          memorize where crew are if you're playing Britain and don't get to have APHE which oneshots upon penetration if there's enough filler.
          remember, if your gunner is out, your driver is still alive
          if your driver is out, your gunner is still alive
          if both are dead, you're dead anyway, just delayed by 7 seconds (unless they miss the follow up shot)
          >crack pipe performance
          vehicles perform as designed, not as in life.
          of course, this is Black folkhit with prototype vehicles like the VT1-2 which has an engine that could theoretically bring the tank absurd horsepower but kills the engine very fast
          >invisible RNG
          it's like a meter of dispersion per KM if you aren't using a gun that has an absurdly short barrel
          >matchmaking
          other than schizotheories that may or may not be real regarding getting matched with noobs if you pay, the system is sound, other than at high tiers where it's extremely compressed and you have a mig-15 in the same match as a mig-23
          >maps
          there's good maps, eh maps, and absolute Black person maps
          eh maps make up the majority
          and the playerbase is split on what maps are good or not, a big example is the city map vs long range map debate
          a city map encourages short range brawling, stabilizers and maneuverable tanks
          which is great for Shermans and t-34s which have stabilizers and maneuverability in cqc respectively
          while long range maps encourage high power guns, optics and frontal armor, which are good for panthers and tigers.
          guess which sides of the playerbase prefers what?
          >scouting mechanics
          other than the tracking dart being kinda absurd, and scouting detection being iffy, it's a perfectly fine mechanic
          >HP and damage

            >and 75+mm cannons will kill any module in one shot
            which is fine except this is ultimately always just a stunlock
            >memorize where crew are
            doesn't matter when your opponents are (randomly) invisible even when less than 50 meters away
            >vehicles perform as designed, not as in life.
            that'd be fine if it were always true, but there's a lot of room for discretion in that strategy and gaijin has made very creative use of that. napkin tanks are gay and weird but gameplay is more important.
            >it's like a meter of dispersion per KM
            it's no different than the RNG the spergs want to complain about in WoT.
            >the [matchmaking] system is sound
            the BRs are completely insane, adjusted with tarot card readings, and the mixed garage system is a failure (referring to the ability of a player to use both aircraft and tanks in a single match)
            >there's good maps, eh maps, and absolute Black person maps
            honestly it's impossible evaluate the maps with the current "spotting system" making a decent match categorically impossible. I think it's fair to say however that WoT's maps are consistently well designed these days even if there are plenty I don't find very interesting.
            >other than the tracking dart being kinda absurd, and scouting detection being iffy, it's a perfectly fine mechanic
            the mechanic is fine if we just ignore all the mechanics? at least WoT's is predictable and actually kind of documented. and i'd actually prefer the dart over a highlighted silhouette even in WoT, but the key mechanic is predictable and rational reasons for an enemy being visible or invisible. WT's visibility rules are so badly implemented it's indistinguishable from lag and random chance.

          I think the worst part about WT is making it so that the enemy render distance is controlled by crew skill levels. At least with any other game, you'd see the enemy. In WT they could be invisible simply because your keen vision skill is too low.

      Protip: Grinding your way to CW jets on the burger and german trees is super easy.
      Both are super handheld with low TTK guns and well rounded planes.
      Do NOT progress in the Soviet tree beyond rank IV.
      That way lies suffering.

        An even easier way is just to grind China. They get the best of both the US and Soviet trees.

          If a tree has less vehicles, does that mean you need to purchase less from each rank to progress?

    the armor values/pen values are all fictitious in war thunder
    they made it even more unrealistic when they fricked the game up horribly with volumetric shells

      Getting stats for modern tanks it's virtually impossible due to obvious reasons.
      Even when some moron leaks them, they can't use, specially now that Gaijin is scared shit of getting sanctioned, to the point where they disabled chat to stop Vatniks vs Hohols shitflinging.

    I'm playing WoT right now and the game is borderline unplayable with so many new players in high tier premium tanks but don't know how to play.
    Does WT have noobs in high tier premium problem?

      Yep, specially around the 9.0 range, it's fricking painful specially if you play Russia.
