I'm in love with the Su-85 atm.:/\\k:.

Artillery play can be rewarding if you're more patient than I am. The long reload times, the overall slowness of most of the SPGs (which can't always shoot across the whole map, ya' know), the teenaged fury of people whining about supporting fire when the baddie they're worried about is tucked up someplace indirect rounds can't go...

...yeah. Fun fun. I can hate arty and still have great respect for the people who stick with it long enough to be good at it.

I don't understand the need for the three-tier spread of tanks. Some tanks, especially heavies, are nearly impervious to anything two tiers below. A two-tier spread would seem more logical.

They actually did try this. Everyone hated it.:)

One thing War Thunder has got going for it is, if this kind of thing bothers you, on 'realistic' levels and above, you get essentially this. Not on arcade mode, though.

I'd rather them charge real money for something cosmetic than for something that had more of an in-game impact.

That said I'm a camo whore and hate taking my rides out unpainted. Spent a lot of silver on 7-day paint jobs...

WT still has the odd derp player, I witnessed a StuG throw itself off a wall yesterday, the driver soon discovered that he was on the tank battles server, not the aircraft one.

Then there's this guy, I think he underestimated the center of gravity of the Ug-Lee:

Of course, I'd be lying if I said I was the perfect example of poise and grace all the time...

War Thunder IS a game where enough people turn their tank over that they added tow ropes, so...yeah...

I actually don't really like WT's tank side too much. I don't know if I just prefer WoT for armor for some reason or just can't resist airplanes when they're available

I can understand that, I tend to do a bit better with my RAF aircraft than I do with my German or Soviet tanks. Looking forward to when the British tanks get introduced though, at least the British tank I want probably won't be much higher than Tier II or III (Matilda II) rather than the American (Sherman 76), Soviet (T-34/85) or German (Panther).

That game got me over an old, old dislike for the Spitfire that had rested in my brain for many years. Now I drool over the climb rate and the Mk IX is one of my favorite planes in the game, especially with the recent addition of the air targets belt for the 20mm's.

I mostly fly American since I really prefer to boom and zoom, but found that the Spit was way better than that on War Thunder than it had been on some of my older games. Working on the first Griffon Spit right now.

Waiting with impatience for the Sea Fury, though.

To be fair, I'm not really sure that thing has a center of gravity...

As far as aircraft go, I got to the P-39 with the Americans, which is the one I wanted, though I still need to get the fancier versions and the P-63. I have a long way to go until I could get the Panther with the Germans or the British tanks come out so I can get the Matilda II (which had better have the proper amount of utter invincibility), so it'll be a while before I get the tanks I'm interested in.

I've always been a turn and burn fighter myself, although I'm gaining a new respect for Boom and Zoom. It works quite well in arcade battles because so few people actually bother to climb so you can get the bounce on them quite nicely.

World of Tanks is an exercise in frustration if you take it anything past the, "I'll play it for laughs," level of interest in my opinion.

I like the game, mind you, and have clocked in time continuously since 2012/2013 but it does wear on you IF you let it. Game mechanics aside, the player base can be quite toxic which is one of the reasons why I stop playing WoT from time to time - I don't even bother with looking at their forums anymore.

I, frankly, am turning more towards War Thunder for my overall online sim-esque action as they seem to get it "right," for me in terms of light, arcade action combined with a more traditional sim approach toward vehicle damage modeling. The recent realistic and simulator ground battles with limited or no overhead friend/foe markers, only allowing specific tanks per "side," keeping nationalities grouped together (i.e. Germans over there, Soviet & U.S. over there...now fight!) really has made me more of a fan of the WT offerings.

I usually play on the North America server though I hear plenty of pre-pubesiant English and Irish kids on there sounds like Rod Stewart or David Bowie after getting kicked in the bollocks the sound of whiny teens just put my spine out of place(in bollocked David Bowie voice)

Yes I hate paying for paint too they should have a much wider selection if it cist you real money to have a permanent pattern. Agree on the match ups as well and some tanks when they are fresh simply lack the gun power to survive in their teir.

It can be a fun game I'd just say its more of a blow things up for fun game. Which suits its apparent primary audience well. For example I observed a player with the glorious name "monkey poo" the other day. That let me know that mid to late 30's players such as myself are probably rare. I'm probably the old fart.

You guys just illustrated one of the many reasons I shy away from MP games.

I play computer games because I don't want to associate with people. If I wanted to interact with people I would play tabletop games. :D

We all know that Dowly can be quite dirty, and now after the latest War Thunder patch, so can his StuG!
