Stage 9: realizing you have gone to far into the snails trap and there is no point of turning back
It clicked when I realized that after grinding all sqaurdron vehicles in the Soviet ground tech tree and having a full top tier set up was when I just lost momentum and questioned my purpose in warthunder. Sure the t80uk and the bmp-2m is fun but was it worth the grind? Yes, it’s fun and no because I’ve lost my mind
Then after stage 9 there's stage 10 where somehow start enjoying the game again and repeat from stage 1
@@northythefosk7501stage 1 is where you try a new techtree
@@northythefosk7501 uh huh, after top tier you go back down to clim another ladder or just play low tier and midladder only

Rank 2: Pain
Rank 3: Pain
Rank 4: Even more pain
Rank 5: Pain and suffering
Rank 6: Excruciating amount of pain
Rank 7: Slow grind and lots of pain

I hate stage 1 cause all i do is go against these panthers its fucking annoying
Nah just skil issue

Rank 9:
*Enjoyment*
Yes lmao this
Rank 1: happiness
Rank 2: barely happy
Rank 3-end:pure hatred
Eh, I found it really annoying that almost no tanks got APHE till like, 2.7 or something
@@cookiecrumbs2840eh not really a nuisance since it reloads in 2 seconds and the Stuarts are really fast
FOR REAL.
US tanks tend to suffer around the 5.7 bracket, and are virtually unplayable when you get full BR uptiered. Plus, you face level 100 german mains that camp from across the map...
No way bro rounded $69.99 to $60 instead of $70
cry abt it
pretty accurate for the people buying
Its called coping
Stahpp
Accurate depiction of coping
USSR edition:
"You unlock your first T34!
You get another T34...
Another....
Another..
Ooh, T54!"
S1: happiness on 1st game with BT5
S2: suffer at rank 2
S3: 1st T34 and happiness, again
S4: suffering against german mains with T34-85
S5: IS-2 unlocked, stalinium kicks in
S6: slaughter with IS tanks, enjoying the grind
S7: T54, MBT time starts, happiness
S8: MORE ERA!
S9: MORE ERA!!
S10: MORE ERA!!! but you reached top tier
Omg I hate the t-34, like I have 120mm of penetration high velocity rounds and jt just absorbs it like wtf
ah yes, the best heavy tank in the game, the T-34
@@EvilMonkey403the worst I hate it it sucks
Yes, they keep upgrading the T-34 until it was the best that it's can be, they achieve that, and from their experiments cames the KV, IS series and the T-54 Legendary series.
I love how war thunder fans won’t even defend their game. Everyone knows how hard and unfun the grind is
I cracked and bought a month of premium. I’m sorry for feeding the snail boys.
It's like smoking. Many people do it yet no one who does it recommends it lol.
@@Juel92perfectly explained
Fr fr
I started playing 5 days ago......
I need help
If you actually buy premium vehicles for full price and not when they are on sale, the snail has brainwashed you.
That moment you look a how many premiums you have..........then it hits you "oh right, bought them all on sale" you don't feel as bad,......... "as bad".
Except for some lower tier ones or cheap SL grinders, always wait for sale
Yep
i saw a level 10 with a f20 and snother level 10 with m1a2 aim
I’ve spent way more money than I should have
-grind china
-unlock both chinese sherman and chinese t34
-get into simulator battles and mess with everyone and everything under the sun, pissing off both teams
-life is good
no, you have to play Italy, japan or germany, or specifically germany because they have both sherman and T-34 lul
As a china main I agree!
Oh be a Chad and play the french tanks and watch both teams get extremely confused at a goblin creature of a Sherman running around
I had a friendly Chinese T-34/85 shooting my Is-2 for some reason trying to kill me so I decided to point my gun his way and I fired and I don't think he was a happy boi after that 😂
@@sniperstg2in germany you have to buy them tho
Part 9: Leak classified military documents to win an argument in the forums.
😂😂😂
looooooooool
Don’t forget the most fun part. Every new 75 Sherman you get, you’ll have to play the first couple battles with a shitty APCR round before you can unlock an actually useful ammo
so true. only good ammo you get is the M4A3's heat shell
Then you get to T95 and get obliterated for your first 50 games because you have APCR as stock again
More like:
Stage 1: see some familiar classics like the Stuart and the M3 Lee
Stage 2: "Hey! I unlocked the Sherman! Things will get interesting now!"
Stage 3: "Wait, it's all Sherman...?"
Always has been.

@@Blakethornton66. Looking at market values for micro transactions, which is already scamming per Design in the average, the snail even tops the worst examples. The Premiums are one hell of a scam and the Events are the icing on top
@@Blakethornton66. 99.99% of players are not going to spend even remotely close to a big chunk of premiums, so people who are willing to spend some money on premiums, will get more for their money, more people will spend money since they get more value from it.

@@Blakethornton66.I love micro transactions! Yippie!!!
Stage 9, you spend so much money the bank cancels your card for your own safety

M24 is just an upgraded M22 in my opinion lol

The only people capable of enjoying warthunder are people that enjoy the grind/ journey and know how to place themselves. Everyone else just gets burned out
What tank is the Jumbo?
@@impasta6315m4a3e2
@@impasta6315M4A3E2 is the 75mm variant at 5.7. 100% my favourite tank in the game

Jumbo when it sees a King Tiger: 💀
fun to play jumbo until a king tiger shows up
“Oh cool a Sherman with more armor”
Gets one shot in the driver turret 4 games in a row
The armor on a sherman is perfectly shaped so that shrapnel pieces headshot all your crew every god damn time.
People who don't play top tier, you're doing yourself a huge favor, trust me.
As someone who has a lot of top tier vehicles, I gotta say the Shermans are way more fun than anything at the top. Everybody sleeps on mid tier USA, but it's really powerful.
Not at 4.0 br... I keep most shermans as pets in a StuH as most of them cannot pen from behind...
jumbo pershing is the most fun tank ever
What mid tier we talking? 5.0? Cuz there, the 75mm wont do much, and the armor is also nothing special, unless you have Jumbo.
@cookiecrumbs2840 Anything with a 76mm or a 90mm really. But yeah, the armor isn't really all that great aside from the jumbo.
Pershing and derivatives are really fun, and the OG M4 Sherman's (75mm, no Jumbo) are pretty fun at their BR (that way you're only seeing like Tiger 1's at worst). But I'd argue most of the 76mm stuff is pretty over-tiered. The really early ones like the M4A1(76) W aren't too bad, but things quickly go downhill once you're regularly seeing Panthers and Tiger II's in those things.
Bro made this video so he could write off that $70 as a business expense😂
Getting the jumbo, realising its power, realising it has a massive weakspot
>Started playing with a bunch of friends
>Having so much fun play low tier together
>Reached top tier
>Realized you're all alone
I started playing because of friends. I enjoyed the game so much that I pretty much made it my main game. Reached top tier and enjoy it a lot up there, but then those friends (who have played for multiple years before I ever knew about the game) always have to have me go back down to their level(play the game a little more dudes, then you can stop being jealous of my fancy modern stuff 😢)
@@dustinhaynes2617😢😢
😢
I don't have any friends who play war thunder. I just play alone
Buying a premium tank and sucking terribly with it and being pissed off that you wasted money comes before cooking with it
yes, i got m1128 and got wiped every round, but now i cook up every round
Getting a top tier vehicle is the best and worst thing to happen. Best being you've finally got the thing you wanted the most. Worst being having to play with the stock tank.
I bought the t55am1 for Russia and thay got me to 11.7, best purchase I’ve made. Then I bought the leopard 2 123 and man it’s a beast of a tank. Already at 9.3 for Germany and I’m enjoying every second of it
Got me the OF 40 MTCAS and it is fun.
I didnt even spend money on my exellsior, got it out of a box and I still felt scammed after trying it
when you hit 6.7 and realize the true power of the three american 6.7 heavy tanks
and then you realize you're gonna be stuck with them for a long time
lol 6.7 is great
@@greaterglidereh, down tiered Russian vehicles ruin the fun
@@bagelthunder125 thats honestly a skill issue for u. Learn where to shoot the vechiles and some 6.7 vechiles do great in uptiers like the m50
@@greaterglider I just saying, the vehicles that get downtiered that have absurd armor or HEATFS just ruin the fun
@@bagelthunder125 yes it can be annoying but i wouldnt say it ruins the br
Tanks built to take down aircraft are surprisingly effective against tanks despite their weaker armor.
As a sherman fan, I see using the Sherman forever being an absolute win
As an America main I’ll say it: This is so real. This happened to me. Every single stage of it happened to me.
As a US main. When i get downtiered in the 76 jumbo... *I AM THE DEFINITION OF LIVING HELL*
down tiered as a 75mmm jumbo is even better just charge at the panicing enemys as they realize you are not another sherman me and my friends once queued up all in shermans whilst also disguising are fronts to not be too distinguishable zebra tactics man they work
That is the best, once I started getting into the cold war era I was down tiered a few times and thrived in it
In that case, a T34 in downtier equal to "I am death, the destruction of worlds"
Uptiered in the 76 jumbo (100% of matches):
Oh no, my armor, its paper
@@superspies32 Also T34 - can die to T-34 if they shoot your hull.
The Shermans are actually fun and great tanks.
At 3.0, yes, at 5.0, no.
Cannon ain't all that powerfull, and the armor is also nothing special, basicly everthing goes thru (unless you have the Jumbo)
@@cookiecrumbs2840 I was mostly referring to BR 3.3-4.2.

fun stops at 6.3
nah, on 7.0 and foward we have missiles, apfsds, guided bombs, just the nicest of stuff we wanted when we downloaded the game
That's where it starts for the Brits 😭
8.3 US is fun
just switch to ussr

@@ChiefRocka318 it takes year to get a god damn jet and i have 3 million research points just sitting there useless

You missed the part where you're suffering on top tier with stock tanks. That shit is painful.
Just got the

@@Unknown_Comrade_ stock light tanks is a pain in the ass. Especially if it has no ATGM. Hard to kill anything, easy to get killed by anything. Good luck haha

neheheehehe you slavs feel pain? i main france and have nearly all nations at rank 6-7
nah there is pain on the soviet tree just not visible to the naked eye. Mostly because of the br changes though. Some of the tanks and especially the planes just feel bad.

1.Pain
2.Suffering
3.Always facing premium tanks and tanks that you never heard about their weak spots and can kill you easy
4.always having bad network connection and server not responding
5. Your starting to have fun because your fighting weak tanks and destroy premium tanks by knowing their weak spots such as Panthers
6. Never feed the snail
to be clear. sherman with it's vertical stabilizer is on of the most powerful tank in game tbh.
Uh no

@@Erwin_Von_Heidenheimthe Shermans were excellent tanks in real life, and are excellent tanks in game. Just because they can be killed doesn't make them awful. The panzer 4s, and T-34s aren't awful even though I can kill them easily in a Sherman.
@@Erwin_Von_Heidenheim
1. Skill issue
2. Its 75mm gun is enough to kill a Tiger (If you have good reflex and have the Jumbo) Literally one if not the best tanks of world war two.
3. Top tier? The comment's obviously talking about low and mid rank, ain't no way anyone's bringing a mid tier tank to a top tier battle. (Unless its something small and goofy by the Swedish tanks or something else for trolling.)
4. Git gud lmao.

Stage 10: you forgot every bad thought because you passed out on the floor, now you scream out FREEEDOOOOMMM!!!
The Jumbo is an absolute menace of a Sherman, tbh. Takes a lot of hits frontal before going out of commission.
Same for me except i bought the a10 at level 20 😅 and then xm1 and then premium and then m1kvt and then ah64 and then more premium. I am 200 poorer and only just barely got top tier us a few days ago 2022-24
Stages 10:you wan't life
the pain is that sherman armor literally never changes
"Finally The sherman"
"Oh, Sherman again"
"Shermans..again"
That moment you realize grinding in world of tanks takes years.
Rank 1: Oh this is fun!
Rank 2: 💀
Jumbo : I'm the best!!
Tiger II : wow Free GE
Stage 4 is realizing that the Jumbos are insanely overtiered now and can just be bullied by most tanks.
I only had to pay 30 for the click bait sales are great, and the only time the snail gets to my wallet
Rank 1 for USA has got to be the hardest tier of any nation. Like you get tank with what feels like a solid shot 20mm that gets penned by a nerf gun, and you grind for another tank, and turns out it just has like 3 .50 cals and no gun
For me it’s,
Stage 1:*happy music intensifies
Stage 2:*Free Bird intensifies
Stage 3:*Star Spangled Banner intensifies
Stage 4:Dying of laughter to German players
Stage 5:Ok, *dream speedrun music intensifies*
Stage 6:Speedrunning
Stage 7:GOOD MORNING IRAN
Stage 8:Ok time for another tech tree
Stage 9: Realizing you skipped maths class because you thought that 69,99 is nearer to 60 than to 70
Yeah, realizing its sherman 99% of the way is a sad feeling
you forgot: buying the top tier premium and realizing you dont have enough money to chose a crew
These days the jumbo is kinda tragic. Everyone who has a tank at 5.7 knows that the machine gun port is the off button
Love how everyone thinks Jumbo is invincible, then you go into a BR game and immediately get slapped on the mg turret, blown to smitherines.
M1 at 10.3 with a 5 second reload is absolutely bonkers
Me who likes the Sherman:
I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!!!!!!!!!!
I’m at stage 4 right now. True Jumbo bias, when used properly.
The accuracy of this is uncanny.
"Wait,is it all sherman?"
"It always been..."
Bro started the game with ground realistic battles💀
This game are Immersive and ... A Virtual Vehicle makes a Real One during The game.
I have wasted around 200 dollars for a largely premium 4.0 loadout.
We will NOT be discussing my spending habits outside of that preset.
Jumbos are powerful till an M51 shows up or a lvl 100 player shows up. It’s only powerful against the weak.
Stage two actually; Suffering as playing as unholy abominations.That the second you try and fight the enemy explodes
Stage 2: realizing you’ve been fighting bots for the first 5 matches*
bro used stalin for real 💀💀💀💀💀
American tech tree: I am Sherman, whats your name
Stage 4:

President: John Stalin
Why is this 100% accurate
Да, на Джамбо прекрасно, едешь, никого не пробиваешь и дохнешь либо от ИСов стреляющих в силуэт, либо от Т-34 пробивающих тебя под нереальными углами, либо от тигров, которые бьют в пулемет.
im still stuck with shermans for 3 years😭😭😭
Stage 6: they got the forums and try to say there’s spall liners in every American tank in existence
The Jumbo : Impenetratable
IS-2 : I at least have a gun
Accurate representation: grind until Sherman then we don't talk about the slow armourless trash with bad guns that lie in the tree until the Abrams
