    The worse thing about this game is that it is so inconsistent. Today my M4A3 (105) Sherman will blow everything in the game up and tomorrow it is a glass slipper that wont kill anything. The whole game is inconsistent. I think its much more fun when there are real people playing as opposed to bots. Its easy to tell the difference.

      If you beginner you tank have rating 1.0 it is like cars with muchine gun,you playing with player who have tank rating 4.0 or more and it is logical you very fast end game one shot and game is over..it is start of game if you play longer your tank rate is higher

      You have to force yourself to only play RB to reprogram yourself from AB bad habits. Use your binoculars constantly. You should be using them like every 5 seconds. It really helps.

    Although it takes some time to get use to, RB has some advantages. For instance, I find it easier it to play uptier, as flanking is much more effective and you don't have to face the enemy face on. A lot of weak armored tanks are more survival in RB.

    I started playing WT in arcade. Then tried to go to RB. Then proceeded to get cucked in literally every match(6.3 BR). Call me whatever you like but RB is no fun for me.
    October 2022 update: Air RB made me a man. Grinded whole British, US and Sweden air tree with no premium jets (but with premium account though). I felt like I was playing wrong game before, now it's only air RB for me and sometimes ground but only to take my favorite air superiority fighters.

      I'm rubbish at RB too but I can do ok in certain tanks that are heavily armored. I can't see what people are shooting at in TH-cam realistic videos so need something that can take a hit or two. I've done ok in a squad as I can do the job once I know which direction the enemy is in.

    RB requires your attention to the environment, as you need to physically look for enemies.
    Biggest problem are maps, as most have open fields, where someone can snipe you from 1 km and its not fun in arcade, but its even less fun getting pounded from camper you cant even see on your screen.... hashtag bushes are p2w

    I’m still new to War Thunder (just got to the 5.0 Soviet tank tree) but so far I prefer RB over Arcade. I like having to pay attention to the environment, flanking without the whole enemy team knowing where I’m at, and being able to hide in plain sight. Of course, it gets annoying when I get sniped by a German tank 2000 meters away or shot in the back by a guy that showed up right when I turn my screen away. That being said, it also feels great when u successfully flank and kill 3 guys from the back/side (unless u get Gaijin’d) without being detected

    • @marcustaylor670
      @marcustaylor670 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hit marker isn't always accurate, also if enemy has camo it won't work at all, same over 1km distance. However if you have some RB skills you have a big advantage.

    It was hard switching from AB to RB. I had to teach myself to use binoculars all the time. The tanks felt really slow in RB but since i stopped playing arcade for a month or so now, i don't even notice it anymore. I also used to think that only noobs play AB but I've come to realise there are just as many terrible players in RB as there are in AB.
