Tied Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 To be honest, you can do the same in WoT yea....no You can carry all you want sure But you just cant luagh off panzer 3 and 4s futile attempts to pen your T-34 as you dispatch them one after another after another after another in one shots Or sneak behind your broken lines to one-shot Tiger ammoracks as they advance on your spawn Or go around ammoracking T-28s and M-60s in your T-54 all by yourlonesome Epic Stop steeling the results screen off my computer dammit CrashbotUS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 You can just as easily switch off your brain in WoT and not care about winning/losing and simply enjoy the game. Nothing in WoT obligates you to care, just like nothing obligates you to care in War Thunder either. It's all entirely your choice.

Tied Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 i never said world of tanks isnt fun Im just insuitating that a game that has more to do with your personal skills as a tanker, such as being aware of the terrain and limitations/benifits of your machine and the eneimes is more my cup of tea than throwing a dice to the RNG gods every time i boot up a match that my gun dosent miss every shot at world war 1 ranges, that my team dosent crap out and i get to pump 3 shots into a guy who eats it and memes me with his paper gun or blueprint armor or that an aritllery piece dosent nuke me from orbit Warthunder has its flaws, and even in GFs you die to bombers quite easily, but hell, atleast the other guy had to like fly to you and stuff plus im getting old When i get into world of tanks and i get outmeanvered and out reacted by some teenager who isnt even old enough to shave i start to feel like a dumb old foul Same reason i play more games like red orchastra than call of duty this slow turtle just excels at using his brain rather than his arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperComrade Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I honestly find World of Tanks to be a more consistent game than War Thunder. War Thunder just has so many variables that go into it that it effectively becomes an RNG of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Warthunder is even worse with that angled armor bouncing shit ive seen leopard 1s bounced 100 and 122mm rounds to their upper front plate just because its slopped maybe when Gaijn decides to stop fucking with the zoom features they will introduce armor overmatching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasily Krysov Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 To be honest, you can do the same in WoT Not in terms of reward though, unless you get that "resistance" tag that treats you as a winner for exp/silver. In WT you get what you played for afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In WT you get what you played for afaik. Yes, but against that must be balanced the fact that 1) War Thunder's ingame economy is shit and has always been shit since 1.39 or something like that 2) War Thunder's mechanics inherently make it a more frustrating game where you often can get one-shot out of pure dumb luck 3) Battles in War Thunder, especially RB, take far longer than the average World of Tanks battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've sat in WT queue longer than some WoT battles. SuperComrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasily Krysov Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 1) The econ functions far better to me because you don't have to play what feels like hundreds of games to progress to the next vehicle until it gets to the very late game. In terms of silvers I have literally never paid attention to it as I have never ran out of money, unlike in WoT. 1a) Because you can play any vehicle you want and set the research target separately you never have to play a vehicle that you absolutely despise to continue progressing. 2) It sucks but then you shrug and play another match? I personally find it's more often me dispensing the loading screen to others and the potential to one shot enemies with good aim is nice. It means that if you properly flank some fools you can go all Lt. Oskin on their asses and knock them all out in short order. In WoT, not so much as you have to chew through HP pools. 3) Not a problem for me as I am usually having a lot more fun, and more consistently, in those longer WT matches. EE) My only complaint is that the wait timer can get a bit ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Back when I still played War Thunder, the economy was probably the single biggest complaint about it. At least it's nice to know they fixed that broken part.HP system cuts both ways, it makes battles more consistent in my opinion. YMMVI do enjoy War Thunder on occasion, but I can't perform in it consistently. That is what makes it frustrating. I'm bad at ranging shots and spotting pixels on my screen.I miss the old 20 rank system. Now you pretty much have to buy everything in your path to unlock the next tanks, or you get the premiums. And War Thunder has a little too many pay-to-win elements for my liking as well (backup tanks/aircraft, buyable crew skills, buyable unlocks).

Vasily Krysov Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not to toot my own trumpet, but a factor may be that I'm just good at the game. Ranging shots, concealment, positioning and pixel hunting is what makes the game fun for me. It really does feel like my personal skills come to the fore more so than in WoT where you are at a much greater mercy of the game's RNG and mechanics like camo. Like in WoT a game where you get 8 kills is a huge event. In WT its basically every two games for me. In WT the much more lethal result of landing hits on an enemy means that you can really carry much harder than you ever could in WoT. It also helps that WT is two games for one really. If tanks has been pissing me off I can hop into flying some planes to get a refreshing change of pace, but still be contributing to my crew slot exp, silvers and the roundabout benefit of better aircraft to use at CAS in combined arms battles. The reverse is also true here for air to tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I will say that WoT is more about a different skillset than War Thunder, I think both can be fun, but I dislike War Thunder's mechanics more and prefer WoT's consistency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 It's been months since I played a pub game in WoT. Organized play was great, but that too died with PBKAC. Now I have a heap of gold, a garage full of rare tier 10s, and no real reason to play anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnsignExpendable Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yeah, the new global map was a colossal pain in the ass to manage, so all the officers burned out one by one. PBKAC WoT is dead, there's some rumours of going to AW or something, but I don't know if that'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meplat Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 If you really know warbirds, WT will infuriate you. If you really know tanks WT will annoy you. WoWp will just cause you to uninstall. WoT is so unabashedly cartoony it just MIGHT be fun.

Sturgeon Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Five years later, I am still a little disappointed that WoT doesn't allow you to mix and match parts from different tanks and nations to create glorious Mad Max frankentanks!

Eh, other than the: fucked zoom mechanics fucking greasy lack of overmatch mechnanics German and bong tanks being remotly useful ever Its a pretty good game, for me atleast American and Soviet tanks seem really powerful, which makes me feel good deep down inside my concrete and pig aluminum heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
