Every match is now a defeat

[KodiaRok]

So I played so far 5 hours, most of the time with a controller till I undusted my old T.16000, gave it some grease as it was unplayable for me with a controller.

I won probably 3-4 matches in a row and I thought, ok, nice. But that has changed of a sudden...now every match is a defeat for my team. Since I am quite new, I am not sure if each battle in the beginning was with players only or mainly NPC's? And now it is just players ? I can't outrun or outmaneuver them with my paper planes as I am still trying to figure out all the game mechanics and also the research for each of my 3 planes.

Am I doing something wrong? Yes, I am aware that I'am new to the game and not so skilled yet as I try to finetune the settings after each match -> crash of the game.

Game otherwise is pretty chill and I love the damage model so far, but having right now no chance at all is kinda hard to swallow.

Also, any advice for a country in particular? I am a big Fan of US Aircrafts and picked those to begin with.

Cheers :)

The game starts you off against bots then trickles in real players over the next couple matches before it's 100% real players.

[KodiaRok]

ah ok, good to know :) Then I guess I won't a chance anymore as the player planes seem to be much better then mine is. I get outmaneuvered and can't keep up with their turning either, unless I am doing something wrong on my end or because of research.

[T'ak Hyun-Shik]

What gamemode are you playing and what planes are you using? Every plane operates differently and some nations have objectively better planes at certain battle ratings.
FYI I don't have as many hours in air as I do ground so I may get some things wrong.

Not a bug. There are NO DRAWS in War Thunder. Only two outcomes exist. Win or lose. Don't be surprised then. If you want to improve your outcomes, I would suggest finding a Squadron to be part of, or play with others until you game skills improve. How many of those times that you lost did you come first in your team?

use alt to gain some height then dive a bit if needed for some extra speed during a fight. Use flaps to turn a bit sharper if you got combat flaps.

If you're still trying to learn the mechanics, you can always try test mode to fly around and use your vehicles without anything trying to attack you. This can let you practice safely.

First piece of advice is throw away the controller and joystick and use mouse and keyboard.

Draws can happen. Take the battle mode in ground forces for example, if both teams have the same number of kills when time runs out its a draw and that counts as a loss for both teams.
Yes they are rare but they do happen.

That's what they said. A loss. For both teams.

Could be worse. You could have the server get stuck on sending data to everyone after popping a 75% booster that then kicks everyone back to the hangar without anyone doing anything while still consuming the booster.
