      Ahh finally, you are the first one to mention it! Yeah, I was a bit sarcastic here in the video because the T80BVM is redicuslous op at the moment. In this clip I bounced so many shots with it and at the moment top tier russia is just boring. Every match is most likely a victory.

Plus unlike Leopards and Abrams, the T-80s/T-90s having only 3 crew members meant that a solid shot to the side of the turret is usually enough to knock it out

    If I might add 1 thing to your excellent list, specifically around building lineups. I think people at high-tier may be way over-obsessed with BR. Like the difference between 5.0 and 6.0 is massive, but between 9.0 and 10.3? For example, I ran the M60A3 TTS with the M1 Abrams for a while and it was fine. It is much slower, but the two vehicles have the same gun and ammo, 2 plane stabs, thermal imaging, laser rangefinder so... shooting at and hitting targets is just as easy in either, just the M60A3 is sluggish to try and keep up in 10.3. Still, it's a good, functional, cheaper-to-repair lineup filler that makes a great thing to spawn when you're getting camped... you'll probably get 1 of the bastards before you go!
    Just like how I had the M16 MGMC in my lineup until 7.7 because of how utterly trash the cannon AA is for USA.

    As a relatively new warthunder player (about 100 hours, now stuck at american 5.3 hell), your channel has been heaps of help. Sure some of the BR-ratings are off in the older vids, but especially the "how to play shermans" vid has alleviated some of the stresses of having to go against german and soviet tanks at BRs 5.3 and up. I will revisit this vid after I hit BRs 8+. Keep up the good work and thanks for the helpful tips and vids.

    its sad that top tier is such a money pit, with new players buying tanks only to stop playing after getting killed more than they get kills, the everincreasing repair costs, the stock grinds, the atrocious brs some nations have and maps that simply do not play well. but if its making money, gaijin wont have any intention to fix it
    so much potential is being kept back simply because the current system is a safe way for gaijin to print money.

      I am curious how the new american tank will be and if it is also op in the early days. Like they did with the 2S38 where they made the ammo wheel really smal and after they made enough money or "found our that it was wrong modeled" they made it bigger and now you can actually hit it from the side.

    • @McKonggaming
      @McKonggaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a really good question and I think it depends on sales and events, as well as some BRs. At the moment there are sales and everybody ans his mother is buying premium vehicles. So far absolutely fair, but we have to consider that this might lead to a higher amount of ine death leavers. So every match around the TURMS, the Leo 2 pzbtl 123, the XM1 can mean you only will see phase 2 every third or fourth match.
      Also, at the moment Russia dominates Top tier and it is like playing war thunder on easy mode. So with other nations you might never see phase three at some days.
      I can try to make a video which line-ups I run, because finding the right BR range with the least premium Influence and fast vehicles is the best way to lessen the mental damage

    I also have a premium Tank and so , when i get killed i often dont have a ticket for another spawn 🙈 as a beginner today ITS double hard to unlock the vehicles and modules , so you buy a high rank premium, because you do more points there, even when you loose or get killed quickly.
    But it could be better with a better matchmaking. When there is a "Points per hour" matchmaking (also with the existing br Rules) they could First Mix fair with Veterans and beginners and then Second the matchmaking could give both sides the same number of people with only one vehicles in the match. It should be easy done for Gaijin

      The grind is massive and I tottally understand why players buy higher tier vehicles - it just influences the game and it is not the fault of the new player nor of the veteran. It is just gaijin, that wants to make money. And this is why we have to take such things into account when playing higher tiers. I just had a match with 9 kills one capture point and no death. A nuke would have helped me to win the match, but so I just got steamrolled by Toptier russia as my team was gone long ago.

And often, as a beginner, i am the last man standing in some rounds. And with the knowledge of Rainbow Six Vegas Worldranking number one in conquer and two wins in Battlefield Playstationliga and one time the Cup , i think , i know more than a lot of the others, how to play with Team strategy and tactics. But also when i get killed , its not my fault. There are even Lots of Veterans in Low Tier and also in Arcade mode. For todays beginners its not possible to reach Higher vehicles one Day , because the Community mostly sucks with Spawn Camping and they want to have so much Kills , No beginner can get in the game . If you play Rainbow against me, you arent in the game after a Minute or two too. Its yours fault or the shitty matchmaking , where professional Game developers in 2023 arent able to give a fair and contructive matchmaking. "Points per hour" show the Skill. Like in the soccer field as Kids. First the best in each Team , then the noobies and Thema the people with one vehicles. So ist would be the Same on each Party in the match ☺️ so First think and have a Argument, before writing those things. Have a nice day

    In my opinion the whole game is just made really bad. It is very obvious on the higher tiers that the game was never intended to leave ww2 too much. And mechanics, maps, gamemodes, research, etc. was absolutely not adjusted for anything below 6.0. It shoul've been separated OR a whole new game at this point. Learning how to play wt top tiers is literally players compensation for broken game.
    War thunder is built very wide, but not tall at all. What I mean is the sure, there is so much vehicles, nations and possibilities for so much players. But there is also a lot of stuff that need A LOT of gaijin's attention. A lot more attention than shiny new vehicles. Repearing old bugs, adding stuff the community been asking for for ages now, improving physics espetially on the shot impact.
    But I know that its not gonna change at least for a while because the whales are paying and gaijin's mentality is from the eastern europe => wealthy by exploitation, not by expansion...

    I hate top tier USA. Theres this delusional opinion that US players are just bad, that it is because of the premiums, while this problem predates the premium addition. The problem is that all of the abrams are weak relative to what they face. They say use the abrams as a sniper, while all tanks are designed this way. They say hull down, but shots go straight through the mantle, and 20mm/30mm can penetrate the turret ring from the front from any distance. They say it is superior because of its reverse speed, as if most engagements arent decided by who shoots first. While other nations get 400+ darts at 10.0, US doesnt get it until 11.3. While most nations have heat slats and era, us does not, and faces these nations most often, causing US grind out of heatfs to take a long time. Gaijin doesnt give many us tanks gen 2 thermals that had it, no ERA, no anti-spalling internal armor, unrealistically loud engines, and fill teams with idiots with the clickbait and f4s.
