Where are the players?

[tupe12342]

every match there's at least 4-6 actual humans, and the rest is filled with bots. Is it just because of my timezone? Or is this game dying?

[jthecamel]

4-6 are actually good numbers, 2-4 is the average for me. They truly let this game go. No advertisement, no cross game play, total change of game-play. A real shame.

I've just started and assumed that the bots were to give me an easy start and rope me in, does it not get better later then, with actual people? Currently only T3

[chronoss2008]

ELSEWHERE

WoWP "died" long ago. There's maybe only a few hundred left, IF that.

grab a buddy platoon and enjoy pounding the bots top fun

[Warpig_2003]

I kinda left because a lack of content and a lack of anything from the devs... Its sad cause I did/do like this game.

[baddoggs]

Wow, do people still play this?

Pretty much this. Being able to actually get a ton of kills, even against bots is fun.

War Thunder on the other hand is a toxic, P2W, grindy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

This game isn't dying, it was never alive in the first place. go play dcs or war thunder if you want to play a military plane game with real players

[CraZe SaBoT]

they roll out bots to all war gaming games now?
i think its more people are becoming more interested in sims across all platforms and game genres
to those hating on WT for costing some to properly progress just like every war gaming title, or any free game for that matter, why? lmao
even tho wt suffers from some of the same dev issues, we can bully ours into submission when they make a bad move, and overall the games better

you do know WT also has plenty of bots as well right?

[sEver]

Last 30 Days World of Warplanes had 165 peak players (one hundred, sixty five).
The fact that for many people the game crashes upon starting the battle doesn't help these numbers. Have that issue for months now.
Just uninstalled.

The bots are there to insure that you don't have to wait for fifteen minutes in queue for match maker to put together a game. After you've gone through that a few times you begin to appreciate a guarantied wait time of less then 80 seconds,which WOWP promises,even if it does mean more bots then peeps in your game at times.

As for the game dying WG never really tried to properly compete with with other air combat games like War Thunder,so there has always been a smaller player base.

If your looking to actually play with other people then try reaching out in chat, pm players after battle you realize were people and not bots and last but not least this game has a discord.

[K9zz]

you will find players more once you get a plane to tier 5+, i was wondering the same thing then boom every game is full for me at least

Other wargaming titles don't have the problem WoWP does. It's a shame. I just started really playing over the last few weeks and have been having fun. It's just on life support. I'm sure they make enough profit on this to pay for the servers and still get some money, but as far as I know, there's no active development. The other WG games are doing fine and are actively being worked up/updated/content drops.

I don't get the hate for War Thunder and vice versa. Both cater to different crowds, and plenty play both WT and WG titles. For my own part, I generally prefer the more arcade side of things--especially in regards to planes.

That being said, I did enjoy ground vehicles. But got sick and tired of the economy screwing me out of being able to play my own vehicles. I actually tried coming back a little while back, and just quit immediately when I couldn't play anything but like my tier 1/2 tanks (or w/e the rating equivalent of those are). And I remember how brutal the currency grind was. Unless they've fixed that--no thanks, i'll stick to Blitz and wait for some of the new tank sim games to come out.
