Matchmaking, balance in ARB, the perfect tool to disgust and turn off the game.

It's really great if you turn on this game after a break the game immediately welcomes you in ARB, 4 times in a row full uptier and with 11.7 BR aircraft you fight against Mig-29, F-16, F-14, etc. 12.7. And if that doesn't disgust you enough, it will easily compensate for 12.0-12.3 BR with top tier IR missiles with 35 g and IRCCM on 11.7, Magic 2, R-73, or F4S with 6 aim7f and excellent radar. Out of 10 games I had 4 games full uptier 12.7, 2 games 12.3 and 4 games 12.0 BR. I don't even see my own BR and about the down tier, about which legends circulate that it exists.

I really don't have a problem with full uptier once in a while, or with uptier, but this is a bit crazy. Only Gaijin has the perfect tools to force a player to turn off their own game after 30 minutes.

And if you had enough determination to endure, other details like not showing an enemy that the game only marks when it flies past you, or an enemy radar missile that is not marked even when it flies directly at you but you don't see it like in SIM, or GRB, RWR pretending not to see anything, servers that freeze, or the whole game freezes which also freezes the entire OS and creates a blue screen, etc. Average experience after turning on this game...

A normal day in war thunder.

Of course there are some planes performing much better than other ones, but i realised that you can make your lifespan a bit longer in a battle playing more defensively. Instead of going directly into the furball, where your chance to dodge something is almost equal to 0 (because of being engaged from many angles), take your time and try to flank. That's my playstyle even on the eurofighter typhoon.
The fox-3 missiles from the tech tree f-14 are relatively easy to dodge. Only the faqour are cancerous somehow, but also possible to dodge.

The IR missiles with IRCCM are strong but also possible to dodge. It's hard, but possible. Even if you have not so many flares, preflaring is your friend in this situation.
The F-4S has not an exellent radar (it is ok at this BR). The power comes mostly from the HMS which makes using radar missiles much easier and more flexible.
The whole problem at 12.0-14.0BR comes from the br compression. Decompressing it is the one only solution for it.

RWR bug is already known and was mentioned on the forums many times.

The problems with servers... heheh, yeah we know, poor hamsters.

The thing with freezes and BSOD is mostly on the player side.


I also hate those things but i am also trying to be not frustrated because of some pixels. We can only make bug reports and hope that gaijin will move their ass and do something with it.


Btw, i can already now imagine the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ coming when the hornet will be released. That's the next thing that will bring more BR compression issues
