why the hate on arcade mode...

[Garrett]

I mean i see it alot... i know its more casual but its how i can grind and have fun and avoid toxic players unlike realism mode.

I was watching youtube videos of a guy playing arcade mode and he was gettin extreme hate in the comments of people tellin him he blows and arcade peasent and all that stuff.. like i dont get it

I'm honestly not sure. I switched to realistic tank battles after I was about 30 hours in, and I'll never go back. In my opinion, having an automatic ballistic calculator, penetration indicator, and auto spotted targets took all the fun and strategy out of it.

But I certainly won't fault other people for enjoying it. That's why there's more than one mode, so people can pick the one they like better.

i mean i dont find it fun getting one shot a mile away from a place i cant see and especially people with there p2w bushes camping places in realism mode... i dont find it fun just my opinion. Right now im just a noob grinding arcade for tanks then swapping to realism when im ready.

No, you're just wrong. If you don't find enjoyment in the exact same things I do, you're defective. How dare you have your own opinion on the internet. This is the modern world. Everyone is encouraged to be different so long as you have the same opinions as the social leaders. So I value and respect everyone's point of view unless it conflicts with mine.

Arcade Air Battles are fun especially with friends.

Arcade Ground Forces sucks. Its literally worse than RB in every way, even if you are new to the game. Its never worth it.

i mostly use ab as a test for my tanks what it can pen and what i need to watchout for

There is no "when I'm ready to swap to realistic". You learn to be ready for realistic while playing realistic. Arcade can't teach you anything to make it easier. If anything, it develops bad habits which you then have to get out again. If you want to play realistic, play it. But if you say " i dont find it fun getting one shot a mile away from a place i cant see and especially people with there p2w bushes camping places in realism mode" then you'll never be ready for realism and are better off playing arcade games.

PS: bushes are available for free in the warbond shop and aren't half as influential as you pretend they are. But great to see that a self-proclaimed noob like you thinks that he can be the judge of that.

that warbond workshop takes mega grinding when you can just p2w the bushes JS

salty fan boy will be salty cant accept the fact its literally a p2w feature

i bought the king tiger and my gameplay and grinding went way up especially with the 7 day premium... games literally pay 2 win rofl if not gl grinding thousands of hours when you can pay money and get there like instantly x)

[Narf]

Being able to grind faster is not what P2W is... but whatever. And the warbond missions take only a handful of games each day, sometimes even just two.... horrible, horrible grind, sure.

Please stay in arcade so I'll never have the displeasure to have you on my team.

The largest difference is the removal of the aim reticule in realistic mode (besides the obvious one of not having your name shown). If you know weakspots and can shoot in arcade, you will have no trouble shooting in realistic. I don't understand why people act like it's such a huge change from arcade. It's really not.

[GhostFigure]

Makes me want to stay away from realistic if this is how realistic players act.

[Lain]

I still don't understand why people like realistic. If you kill someone they just come back and bomb you. At least in arcade the bombs have a fuse so you have a chance to escape.

There's nothing wrong with liking one over the other, if you enjoy arcade over realistic then thats your call, there are alot of players who pick on others for not doing it their way, such as the different choises for which type of battle you play. Each has their advantages and disadvantages.

Personally I play Rb the most with an occaisonal tank sim. I prefer the tension in it over arcade where you pretty much know everything. Though I wont act like I cant get frustrated, cause I do, Rb and sim are easy for spancampers for instance having the benifit of suprise having no big red name or marker on the map whilst I would believe these are quite easy to deal with in arcade since everyone sees them.

The bushes, while i know they can hide a sillhouet or even the type of tank arent something that frustrates me as much at all, they do work imo unless you encounter ULQ users, which I dont, I prefer my game to look pretty over that.

The CAS in Rb isnt as bad as it was before, since most rockets are quite hard to use, bombs are more dangerous id say, except for instance tiny ivans or such, in higher tiers you have the new radar feature which pretty much makes it near impossible to get nearby when someone whos aware of your presence in such SPAA.

Lastly whilst i find the grind for air Rb not that bad at all unlike tank Rb, the stock grind itself, especially the higher you go in the tech tree becomes really hard, though imo this is worse by far in tank rb. Where it takes quite a bit to just get one module whilst you get pretty low rewards for your performance.

The grind with or without Prem isnt P2W, if you think about it, its pretty much a system every online F2P game uses, it just speeds up things tremendously

i enjoy both, and when i play realistic i think it is the true way to play, but i play more arcade because ,its faster , no risk of one-shot & restart and i can do more damage in arcade,,i am still waiting to see the day when i kill 10+ tanks in realistic,, but in arcade i can pull that stuff all day

[𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑒]

That difference is more down to the type of games though, seeing in arcade everyone gets three respawns which in realistic you have to earn, which already eleminates those players giving you less targets, then you have those that do get the points to respawn that take out an aircraft over a tank which further limits the amount of tanks you could get in realistic, and of course you know that you wont get everything handed to you, relying on your own awareness, usually meaning you wont be as agressive in arcade leaving you to find less players.

You rarely can compare the amount of kills you get in arcade to the amount you do in realistic. What you describe as an average match in arcade might be an amazing match in realistic, you cant really put them together and only compare the result screen
