    I see a lot of people expressing their frustration in the comments of my War Thunder videos, so I thought it might be good to share how I personally try to have fun in the game. Most people just say "play low tier" but it's a pretty shallow phrase that doesn't help all that much. I hope that this helps a bit, so you can squeeze a bit more enjoyment out of the game while Gaijin gets their act together.

      I'm a level 36 player with 6 million silver lions right now. I never really grind just one tech tree, I switch it up all the time. I also come back to lower Brs (4.3 Germany for example) very frequently when my SL drop and/or the grind becomes frustrating. I also only take out working lineups. Never rush to the next vehicle and use it without proper backup in your lineup. If you have the chance to, get your hands on some mid Br premiums, I bought the Brumbär, a very fun way of earning lots of SL. I hope this helped you somehow.

      @paraphidd 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      @@burningsinner1132 You know I see this alot but it doesn't really take into consideration that all of that is a major annoyance to most players. People main nations because they like them more than others. People keep autorepair on because having to wait to play your favorite tank isn't fun, and to many people it's unfair and wastes their free time. And it's also not that much of a fix to the problem. It's temporary, and something that players have to choose to do, meaning players who aren't in the know about this stuff suffer immensely, especially if their skill level is average or worse. A permanent and better solution would be to greatly reduce or even remove repair costs. The only reason they exist is to be another reason to buy SL and even then, without repair costs, you would still have to buy vehicles, buy/train crews, and buy modifications. You could implement other things that could increase SL spending, like adding some decorations/skins/decals that cost SL instead of GE or putting SL costs on doing premium things without a premium account (Like having over 2 decals or modifying camo). Things like that would definitely be good incentive to spend SL and would allow average, non-premium players to actually play what they like.

    • @quentintin1
      @quentintin1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      don't stay stuck at the vehicle(s) you are grinding, mix it up by playing some lower tier stuff, disabling auto repair is a must, the repair times can be shortened by levelling the repair stat on your crews
      as for more specific, i play mostly plane as i don't play much tanks these times.
      but usually playing around the high TII to low TIII is pretty good, most nations have solid choice in terms of machines, the combat is generally enjoyable (some nations better than other due to meta but even non meta planes can be enjoyed if you're good enough) and the repair times are usually short enough so that you can keep playing the same 2-3 vehicles over and over, i've been having good fun making bank after buying mastery for my crews on a bunch of vehicles

    I've no interest in playing War Thunder, but I watched the whole thing just to see one of my favorite tanks (T92) shoot stuff. It looks beautiful in the game.
    I'd also like to thank you for your research and explanation videos about tanks and tank technologies. They are very enjoyable and you manage to frequently talk about things that I've never come across before.

It also forces you to use the listed tanks, some of which you probably haven't touched in awhile and it lets you rerealize that some of them are a lot of fun.

      You can uptier the locust and bully BMPs PT-76s and can even kill a tiger if done just right, same with the Stuart but it isn’t as sneaky as the little locust

    This method of implementing a sponsorship is how it should be. This sold me more than those poppy, fancy looking and sounding sponsorships by far.

    a guy talking from the viewpoint of: "hey i'll hop into 2.0 to see what it's like" with a fully upgraded crew, 10x the knowledge of the players in the ranks and a boatload of cash.
    get a new guy, make a new acc and see how it is, it's terror.

      @@nebulostheparticleman I’d say tank rb can be more fun than tank ab, mainly because if you’re a decent player and know the weak spots of a tank, you can be rewarded and if your opponent doesn’t know where to shoot, then you have the advantage there. In AB you can just line up the green crosshair (you sometimes don’t even have to have line of sight). Also I hate how you can’t bring your own planes into ground ab, that would make it so much more fun. Low tier air ab is super fun though. I had three back to back 14 kill games flying a F2A today hahaha

    i find it kind of weird how people only seem to consider tanks and planes when boats are probably the most fun
    - you don't get one shot (unless you're fighting a Japanese ship)
    - you can almost always see your enemies
    - if you lose all your boats but did well you can respawn as a bomber and annihilate big bois
    - there's no grind (because the most fun is tier 1.0 - 1.7)
    - no penetration tomfoolery
