Why are matches so short?

[Dementia Biden]

i am new in this game and i am surprised by how short the matches are, they are done in less than 10 minutes, specially if the only objective is to kill all the armored cars. What i am missing? I spend more time in the menu screen and loading screen than actually playing.

Arcade Battle Games usually take about 10 minutes.

If you want longer battles, try Realistic Battles.

Armored cars are easy to kill. Anything heavier is almost impossible to deal with MG's.

arcade matches are short...realistic & simulator can last longer.

upgrade your plane & learn to fly in arcade, then move to realistic for a more rewarding experience

Early on it is also easy to kill ground targets with any plane but later on you will be having dogfights + bombers.

arcade games are short by nature
they have a 30 minute match timer and a tier 1 games should last about 10-15 minutes on average since armored cars are easy to kill

RB can easily last over an hour depending on the map + players. Play realistic if you want longer matches.

It can also last a very long time if a douche decides to just fly to an absurd altitude and keep hiding when he finds out his team pretty much lost.

Enjoy the landscape (sorry, i know, it's frustraiting sometimes) or farm ground units (if any still ramains).

I played until 1.37 and then quit in disgust. Only came back to try 1.39 and have noticed that the games are shorter now. They are over a lot more quickly. I am not imagining things. I am still flying the same way yet i frequently only end up using one plane. I never used to to do that before and used more planes.

I know it sounds stupid, but if there arent any ground units to kill, you can also land and takeoff at your airfield. It's not only good practice, but you get RP each time you take off and land. In some planes it can be over 25rp for a take off and 45rp for a landing. That's almost as much as shooting a plane down. (minus the lions)

Gaijin have taken out a lot of the ground targets, and plenty of them also don't count that used to count towards winning. They have done this quite a few times, although some changes of this nature they have rolled back (such as automatic ticket reduction in domination maps) this is one that they've been pretty consistent with.

However if you're talking about kill all the armored cars...that's just a tier 1 thing. Tier 1 and tier 4 seem to be the shortest matches, since at tier 1 everyone can kill armored cars with ease (as opposed to tanks and pillboxes) while at tier 4 you see a lot of heavy bomber swarms on both teams. Tier 2 and 3 aren't as bad in that regard, at least usually.

I never play Arcade anyways, so I have no idea. But to be honest, there are enough arcady WW2 games already, why would you play arcade in War Thunder, a game designed towards realism. realistic games can last up to 40min or even an hour.
