Remove kill cam in ground realistic battles.
This would make revenge bombing more uncommon and promote playing in a more stealthy and less wreckless way. In what way does being taken out grant you the rights to know your opponents location? This is of course acceptable in games where you only spawn once, but in a game like War Thunder where you can come back multiple times it just does not make sense to me.

I fully agree but, considering how long players have been asking for this, I wouldn't hold my breath.

It just proves my point, I'm not alone with this opinion. And playing sim is not an option since it is a terrible gamemode in many ways that I will not address in this thread.

This type of attitude is exactly why the community and game wont change much....

Remove the killcam
I really like War Thunder and rarely ask for changes. But can we please remove the Killcam!

I'm talking about the little video that shows you how you died and shows you where your killer was and what it was.

It's cool to see the kill ... but it's bad how it lets you respawn (often in an airplane) and head straight to your killer.

Also it's not immersive. It makes the thing so 'gamey' to magically see your killer.

What do you think? Is the killcam too much fun to remove, or would removing it improve the game? Should I just quit Realistic Battles and go to Simulator?

Initially I wondered if changing it could help light vehicles too much (because they are so easy to kill with a retaliatory airstrike), but actually it would probably help heavier tanks more because they'd be less often subjected to retaliatory bombs. Dunno though. Personally I think we could do with a change in the metagame to give heavy tanks a boost. But that's a different conversation.

Can't wait for people exploiting spots that is classed as cheating (an example being going under the ground) to be everywhere

Yeah i feel like the complaining about getting "revenged bombed" is 100% edge campers in some cheese spot.

Like don't want to get bombed? Move when you don't hear planes.

The problem with this is no matter what....the community is going to complain. They'll complain about it being there, and will complain if they remove it.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, thee community will never be satified...THATS the problem with these type of complaints

Hmm sounds like you're playing arcade. It's arcade mode haha. If you want more realism with no killcam play realistic.

Rb has killcam you ♥♥♥♥... I'm 100% for the removal of killcam from RB battles as it just encourages revenge bombing.

SB is the only mode that doesn't show where you the full kill cam
maybe you have it turned off?

but yeah, kill cam should be deleted from Realistic

I would want them to keep the slow mo of your tank being destroyed, just not showing where the shot originated from or following the enemy player that killed you for 5 seconds after death.
