War Thunder Streamers

I'm a small time streamer (30 or so followers) and my question is... does anyone actually stream this game? I mostly play Realistic planes. I have been told by friends that this game is "boring" for people to sit and watch? Thoughts?


Here is my stream if you want to check out some of the realistic matches I have had in the past couple weeks.

I stream it every time I play, but I do it on Steam since it's just easier.

I often have between 2-8 viewers.

I used to have a lot more people watching me, and I actually started a steam group for people who wanted to watch me on a regular basis. But when valve made it so you can only invite your friends to groups, it pretty much destroyed any recruiting process I had.

Yeah, I mostly just use twitch and get several folks watching. I'd love to get more but I feel like the game (especially realistic mode) could at times be slow to watch. Leave it to Valve to ruin a good thing!

[R.A.T. Army *MST3K*]

Yeah, a lot of the smaller steam groups now can't recruit people. Had almost 400 members when they implemented the new policy.

There are channels like botime that stream it for a fairly decent amount. Probably others as well.

I wish we had a dedicated person who did it. Like a Shroud or someone "famous" in the streaming world.

It boring because you mostly play planes try playing tanks more often. Also watching someone play planes isn’t worth watching, don’t get me wrong not trying to make you mad or any thing try playing tanks more it’s more exciting and saticfing when you snipe a tank half way across the may with the strumpnazer, it’s a derp tank destroyer with ether HESH or HEAT rounds

I agree with you! I play a mix of games. I just wish there were more dedicated streamers to realistic air battles

I think the fundemental problem with streaming War Thunder is that it is quite boring. You spend up to 5 minutes in plane RB climbing and spend maybe 1-10 minutes fighting (depending how quickly you get knocked out or how long it takes one team to beat the other). Even then that "fighting" time frame may not even apply to you since you might be in an area where the majority of people are not.

I think streaming is a good instructing tool for War Thunder to give viewers an opportunity to ask questions if the Streamer is knowledgable about the game during the lulls in battle, but you'd have to have a specific personality to keep people who are there for "entertainment." I'm more of a teach rather than an entertainer so I'm speaking from that perspective.

Great! Thank you for all different perspectives! I throughly enjoy RB but I can see how it's considered boring to others. I try to stream what others don't.

I wish you the best of luck

Thank you so much! If you guys want, give me a follow and I'll follow you back!

I usually Stream War Thunder on Twitch (in French thought).
But since I play Ground Battles, I pretty much always have something to say.
And when I play Air Battles, I usually always have a bit of stats-explainig or story-telling about my vehicle to do.
But I guess a stream being boring really depends on thestreamer’s personnality.

Jengar and napalmratte are quite good try those
