Are pilots on war thunder all suicidal?

[Curiosity Rover]

I've just got my tiger and i do very well it, until... some plane comes around shoots at me and kills me and there chrashing into the ground / me in the process pretty much every game i've played today ( not the same person each time )

They do it because they want you dead.

and because they're huge ♥♥♥♥♥

If half of the enemy team is in a plane, all your comrades are dead and you are the only one flying, of course you would suicide run.

It is a big sign that that person is USELESS at flying and bombing. I have seen level 100's do this all the time as well as NOOBS and all it does is show how BAD they are at the game when it comes to bombing.

For all those that use the suicide tactic but say they are great at flying and can bomb good anyway i say to them WHY THEN WOULD YOU DO THIS????

They are PATHETIC unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about it yet, the only thing i can think of is that planes don't get the kill registered to them until after 3 or 4 seconds after the bombing run and if they die before that time by using suicide run it does not get accredited to them now there is the odd occasion when you do a bomb run but cant pull up in time but more often than not the pilot uses suicide bombing.

In ab their plane deaths do not count at all, so there is no reason to stay alive. And since the kill gets you rewards(rp etc) and staying alive just gives a slight silver lion bonus why not just suicide.
Its more an issue with the game mode then the players. Although im sure if they changed it so dying actually did negatively affect the pilot there would still be some that still suicide bombed.
In RB tanks where you want to stay alive to gain more spawn points to get in another vehicle you rarely see suicide pilots.

AB tanks is a clusterf*ck, RB is surprisingly good but unlike aircraft RB, gives no extra bonus to gains.

i am talking about RB battles and there are a lot of suicide bombings that happen. we need a TANK ONLY REALITY BATTLE MODE with NO AIRCRAFT to stop this it is gertting as bad as those donkey's who used to teamkill all the time.

I know right, damn donkeys

I am sick of being rammed in AB. I main my flak 88 and 1 out of 10 deaths are from actual tanks, the rest are from planes ramming me, not even shooting, just rams into me and i die. If gaijin would just make ramming do no damage or stop open top vehicles from being killed from a few bullets or ramming then this game would be alot better.

[john bluntington]

yes because of the grind, i wish to not wake up day after day.

[Werecat101]

If they wanted to cure this problem its simple in ground battles just dont allow a crashing aircraft to kill anything and any actions the plane has done shouldnt count if the aircraft crashes deliberately, so if you do a great job kill 2 aircraft and then ram a tank on the ground you shouldnt get any reward for the kills..

People have suggested that if you kamakaze then you lose a life for your ground vehicle.

How would that work in Reality Battles???.

if i am correct in Arcade Battles it would work because you get 3 lives is that right? I don't know if you do get 3 lives as i don't play Arcade only play Reality Battles.

First: Correct.
Second: It's called Realistic Battles, not Reality Battles.

What, if they "kamikaze"(Which is hard for the game to determine), do their vehicle instantly detonates itself cause of that?
Even in AB, if you're on your final straw, and using a plane is probably the only way to turn the game around, if you screw up and have to crash, your tank explodes just for that, leaving you behind?
God, this is not going to work.

Simply, the game should award better EP and lions rewards for staying alive in AB. In itself, staying alive was considered the highest priority for a pilot in war.
As it is now, there is almost no penalty for dying in AB. This is highly unrealistic and it encourages suicide behaviour. Stronger penalties for every death would be harsh for novice players, but better awards for surviving would be a benefit for all.

LOL.....this game is far from being a simulation, so no need to prioritize life for a "pilot" or your aircraft. It is a shooter where the idea is to kill or be killed. If you fail to take out an opponent because of some misguided game morality than that player may end up contributing to your teams' demise.

It's far from being a simulation in AB, I agree, but nonetheless, even if it's only a shooter is silly that you can waste your planes only to gain another kill. It's not a a question of game morality, it's simply stupid a dynamic that values a kill more than your own plane. And, as said before, it encourages suicide tactics that are no fun for the other players...
