    Luchs and PzH2000 - Why

    I really wonder why I should invest in one of them. What are the advantages? The Luchs is much bigger than the Wiesel with the same gun. And the PzH2000 is massive with next to no armour and a standard 155mm gun firing HE-shells. Ok, this spg is awesome in real life but playing on maps with distances of less than 2km I don't see much reason in playing it when I can have the 4-5 etc which is fast, has a decent gun and a low profile.

    So what are the advantages of these new vehicles? Why should I get them?

    Next gen 4.5 hopes?

    For the US tree i main I’m hoping for the F-16V personally but I suspect they will give us the super hornet after the F-14 first. On a side note for other countries I’d also love to see the J-10C and JF-17 block 3/ FC-1 for China. Especially if they give the Jeff-17 all the missile options it has irl, you have peregrine missiles from turkey and darter missiles from South Africa, PL-12 and PL-15 from China.

    Getting out of early tier

    Hi, I hope this doesn't get asked too much but I'd really appreciate tips for reaching my first jet

    I've been playing for around 50 hours and I am reaching the end of tier 4, but I had premium for a week which made it quicker. I was wondering is AB really worse than RB for grinding? In RB I find myself climbing for multiple minutes only to get 1 kill and if lucky more a round, which makes the process really long.

    USA tree by the way, thanks for reading

    What are some of the positives and negatives about it?

    Realized why I'm terrible at aiming.

    I have always struggled to aim in RB, so I never played it and stayed with the arcade for a while. In almost every dogfight I got myself into in air RB, I absolutely demolished my opponent, but then I couldn't hit them and shot ALL OF MY AMMO, and then I died, of course.

    Then I thought of something. I realized that I always zoomed in to the maximum because otherwise, I couldn't see the tracers at all. But when I zoomed in that much, I couldn't see where I was aiming. So I got the amazing idea of moving closer to my screen as I was on my sofa before, with my screen being the TV. THE FIRST MATCH WAS 4 KILLS AND AN ASSIST. I am soooooo mad at myself at this point. I always wanted to play RB but could never perform, but in reality, sitting 4 meters away from my screen meant I couldn't aim. I am so dumb.

    BOTs(not AI) are increasing on low rank boat battle.

    There is an increasing number of bots with randomly generated names of 8 to 10 characters.
    They use IJN Satsuki and continue to vaguely attack the nearest opponent while continuing to go straight. Of course, they are useless, so teams that include a lot of Bot are at a disadvantage.

    DON'T BUY PREMIUM AMX-30

    Worst tank in my life. No armour. No stabilizer. No scouting.

    How can I use this? Rn I just peek, shoot and run back. It doesn't feel like a premium, I thought premium tanks were supposed to be OP?

    Can we talk how WT's holidays dont feel inviting/rewarding at all compare to other f2p in december?

    So I (and probably many of you too) play other grindy mmo "vehicle combat" games cough cough, just as much as I play WT. And year after year Im starting to tilt more so other games on during December.

    Gaijin stagnation with intersting events and free rewards is once of the more noticable compare to "other games". The stupid Halloween races where you drive broken circle on modified hellcat has been there for the past what 5 years?

    Rewarding events - yeah no, for any decent vehicle you have to spent sooo much time griding it that it feels well beyond fun, especially if you have some aspect of social life during the holdiays. And i;d say more of those vehicles are just blant copypastas with minor gimmik like .3 br than regualr version (but lacking let say 10 flares vs 30 like thiere tech tree version, or tank having heat or no at br where it does not matter)

    And lets talk about any sort of basic economic rewards hmm? Can gaijin schill out maybe 50% to credit/xp gain during the holidays maaaaybe? IT would at least make me feel somewhat cheery playing during holdiays.

    The only things we get are chuk full overpriced modern age calloduty premiums (in budles many a times now) and thats it.

    TLDR: Compare to many other instance based f2p games playing WT in december does not feel rewarding at all. While others just shower you with free shit.

    Arcade Ground needs an update or some balancing.

    Yes, I know, I play Arcade and you're better than me but for once hear me out.

    Arcade Ground is supposed to be for new players or to help those who struggle with RB Ground.
    But this game mode has some rules that favour some countries and tanks to other.

    First of all, every battle you play, 3/4 of the players will eather play Germany or Russia, no matter the BR.
    It took me 7 games before finding a British player. There should be a mode like countries vs countries as in RB Ground. Sometimes you can't grind vehicules because you face a wall of Tigers/Panthers/IS that can't be faced.

    Second of all, light tanks and SPAA are harder to play since you CANNOT FLANK (or it will require a lot of luck or skill but in AB Ground you don't have much skill, me included) , you'll be seen on the map even when you're not scouted. Light tanks and SPAA should be less visible and if scouted should be hidden after 10 seconds or so if hidden.

    And at last. Lvl 100 seal clubber can frustrate and discourage new players to beggin or to advance in the game. But I don't really have a solution for that.

    Sorry for bad english and sorry for the rant.

    They need new gamemodes

    Anything with fox3 missiles isn't fun in the slightest, there is no argument, it's just trash gameplay that isn't fun. They have these really cool jets in the game now and just let people spamram them. How Incredibly disappointing. I'm literally just unlocking these planes to never use them because I refuse to play this dogshit
