Well, people keep buying stuff.

Yeah, 21S is really annoying. Personally I'm always on high alert if I get uptiered vs Russia or Israel, but it's less bad vs other nations. Most of the 9.7s only get 2 missiles and their flight performance isn't that great when trying to gun down nimble subsonics. It's the Ayit that is the exception. One thing to note is that the 21F at 9.3 is not very dangerous. 9.3, but only two Aim-9Bs, nowhere near as quick as the 21S, with only 60 rounds on a single NR-30. You don't see them around often, but keep in mind that you don't have to worry about it as much as the other variant.

@@BlackBustnMoves it sucks because they are so damn fast compared to everything else I have.

@@RoughNek72 Yeah, you just have to cope with it. Thats why I focus so much on taking out people quick, especially the right planes, while they still have teammates to be distracted by. I've had quite a few games where I'm the last man standing vs these faster things and I usually don't win it.

I'm about to make a video about that. TLDR: making people overshoot is your option of last resort. Trying to work with your teammates will always be a safer and more effective way to get people off your six, but with War Thunder being the game that it is, you can't always rely on teammates. So yeah, learning reversals is important but taking out people fast will always be the No. 1 thing imo.

Thanks. I'm planning to make one about getting reversals shortly. It's a topic that's been well covered, but I figure I may as well add my two cents since it's a topic that I care about.

Main problem is the team size. The new maps are stale and I don't like their color palettes, but the gameplay of most maps is fundamentally the same since they all have similar geography with the exception of Pyrenees and that new Mountain Pass map. Base bombing doesn't make sense, in my opinion. Getting max skill bonus doubles your RP when you're playing without premium account, and it gives you +33% RP when playing with premium account. I don't see why I would sacrifice having fun to mindlessly base bomb, which no longer nets much higher RP rewards than maining a fighter, and does no service to your team.

Auto ticket bleed will be gone But if you want to pressure that one last AF camper or runner, your teammates can attack ground units and bleed tickets manually. And if enemy will want to engage you and vice versa, game wont end suddenly and prematurely because AI decided to destroy all ground units.

I'm happy about that change coming to dev. Wish they could make the current 13.7s 14.0 BR and introduce Euro at 14.3 but I know they won't do that.

Thanks man!

I've already had people telling me it's bad because attackers will no longer be able to win games. This exposes a lack of awareness about the true dilemma with asymmetrical ticket bleed. You'll often find that if one team destroyed 3-5 more AIs and got more bombing score, they'll still be losing in the endgame because one side's AI dies quicker. Also, tickets will still be the deciding factor in the game's outcome in case someone plays uber-passive and hits the 25 minute timer.

@@BlackBustnMoves I feel that if ticket bleed is removed, an airfield rework is also needed. I see far too often someone at the end of the game just sitting and repeatedly bailing every time you go to attack them, and theres nothing you can do. personally I think a 5-7 minute limit for being on the airfield would be good, as even major repairs take at most 3 minutes.

@@toast1172 The reason it says 'no active players alive' when the game ends is because Gaijin changed it to where the enemy team will start losing on 'No Active Players Left' if the last guy has been on the airfield for 100 seconds or more. This is a big help because what you're describing used to happen very often - 1 guy would sit on the runway and J out whenever you approached him. Eventually, you'd get knocked out by the hitscan base triple-A. Now we have base camping with rolands since they are very hard to dodge during the current patch. I'd like base AA to be heavily nerfed or removed, and airfields spread apart like on the old air France map, but that's another video.

You missed your chance to yell first

thank you suh

No, they still count as air kills on your service record - that is the screen where the individual vehicles are displayed, not the front page aggregate screen. This is a problem because some people like to flex their omegalol super-high KDs when in reality half or even more are AI air target frags. The statcard I showed at 0:51 shows this quite well. I would've loved to see new stats like a nuke counter, % of games played in a squad, a scorecard showing % of games played per rank, and a page to see accrual of ingame awards like fighter rescuer and such. For an update delayed 3 weeks, it's very mid. Thanks for commenting though mate :)
