5 MEATxHEAD30 Members 9 posts 20 battles Report post #1 Posted January 1, 2016 I never post on the forums, this is only my second post, however I feel this will be helpful for others considering a change. I have unlocked the US tree and most of the Japanese tree as well, i have sunk hours of grinding into this game and it began to feel like work rather than fun. I would justify playing by remembering the hours put in to unlock ships such as the Iowa and max them out. However the multiple problems with this title which I will refrain from discussing (look it up yourself) has led to me leaving the game. That being said, this is a FUN game, and WG made a good effort in making a naval title with fun gameplay. However when you play at top tiers and play hundreds of matches the problems surface and ruin the fun. Ichasegaming details these issues in depth on his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bnkhj8PuSw. It feels good to leave, hopefully war thunder can produce a quality product which can rival WoWs. Cheers 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they get around to adding a naval aspect it won't have been worth the wait and this is how you will look when it comes out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

26 Maitey Members 98 posts 10,079 battles Report post #6 Posted January 1, 2016 If you have "unlocked" most of the trees that means you spent hundreds of hours plus in this game. I would say that is damned awesome product to keep you entertained that long for free!! And even if you spent some real money, good for WG, for your entertainment dollars went a long way to keeping you engaged. I personally have not been able to play this past week visiting the in-laws and its killing me. Cant wait to fire her up tomorrow when I get home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's sailing ships, but still very fun. Also, don't be afraid to drop down a few tiers in this game. I don't find the high tiers to be as enjoyable as the mid and low tiers.

1,045 dmckay Members 4,729 posts 8,265 battles Report post #11 Posted January 1, 2016 You sunk HOURS into grinding the game. Why make a damn game like work or a job as you say it became? Maybe that's your issue more than anything. I hear players say all the time they are grinding grinding grinding. Why? To what end? That's work not fun IMO. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arcade or realistic? You'll never get that kind of matchmaking in RB. Honestly right now, War Thunder is far better than WG is in wows currently. I'll still give WG some room since wows just got released a few months ago. War Thunder even has it's own community council!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly right now, War Thunder is far better than WG is in wows currently. I'll still give WG some room since wows just got released a few months ago. War Thunder even has it's own community council!! I guess that bunch at that game failed to hear about CCP and The Mittani a few years ago. All it takes is one drunken fool making real life threats against another player in a live telecast at the annual convention (a multinational event) representing the playerbase and the game maker to cause an international incident. Naw! Never happen again!!! Player Council's are a joke. Why would a company, with real obligations to investors, employees and the dependents of their employees and investors ever listen to a bunch of whiny, drunken, drugged up, video game players. They have mortgages, car loans, food, clothing, shelter, medical and dental depending on the overall success of their game product. They cannot cater to the desires to a vocal minority of hardcore gamers (read: no-life basement dwelling mouth breathers). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the F9F and Banshee can hardly compete, and they've at least got the guns for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

123 PcolaTy_1 Members 810 posts 2,554 battles Report post #20 Posted January 1, 2016 I would have to agree with Chase on a few points like the simplicity of the game and fear the direction that this game could be taken into to cater to the eSports crowd which IMHO is the last thing that WG should do, but at the same time I can understand as the eSports crowd can be a major source of income. My question though is why can't War Gaming produce a true dedicated eSports game from the ground up instead of trying to convert their existing games into eSports; especially Warships considering that naval warfare is probably the least popular. I would like to make a point about the aircraft carriers, the main reason why I absolutely hated them in tier 4,5,6,7 is that the U.S BB's in those tiers have little to no AA (stock) and are basically sitting ducks that cannot maneuver and are very slow. IMHO, War Gaming should of made the stock hulls basically Hull Variant "B" which is pre-war (1930's) if I recall correctly which I believe would have made a bit of a difference in the Battleship player base anyways. Right now, if I were to start over in the battleship line for US and Japan this would be the time to do it seeing as there are few to no carriers in play by the carrier pros.

1,466 [KTKM] IKU19 Beta Testers 4,633 posts 4,078 battles Report post #21 Posted January 1, 2016 WT's naval portion is probably going to end up like ground forces, one shots, one shots everywhere because historical accuracy, you see. I'll be surprised if one torpedo didn't just sink your entire ship if it hit your broadside, which it probably will since historical accuracy won't make them appear until a few inches from your hull. I don't mind WoWS's simplistic arcady nature, because it's simpler there's less "what the [edited] happened here" moments. If you're into the more "wellp i'm dead now" type of game style then that's just what you're in to, and WoWS can't provide for that just because the game is very forgiving.

22 [B-TX] Rusty_S85 Members 360 posts 3,256 battles Report post #22 Posted January 1, 2016 I have to agree with what was said above. While I get frustrated with this game at T5 and up I find the game most enjoyable to me to be T2 through T4. I don't know maybe its because when I am in a BB at T5 I expect it to be a slug fest with other BBs not getting thrown into a survival evasive manuvers against multiple destoryers and cruisers and torpedo bombers all spamming torpedos at me.

I dont mind the wait for a quality game. If you are going to compare WoWP to WT you need to use WT's arcade mode for comparison. If you like WT because of the Realistic and Simulator modes say so but don't compare those modes to WoWP. Something I don't get about WT is so many claim it is so great but it is extremely hard to get a simple $30 joystick to work with it and flight games with mouse and KB just feel wrong to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
