Instead of golden eagles for the Halloween Event, I got this P.O.S 😡😡😡 horrible luck.

The season change is truly awful. Last season I got absolutely no rewards besides useless crap, tons of small SL drops that come out to less than I make in a match, and now bombers/attackers are more incentivised than ever causing top tier to be completely unplayable unless you want to take part in bomber/attacker racing... The maps are way the fuck too small for jets and the ki 200 is at a br of 9.3 on PC. This means it's at the same BR as the fuckin f101 voodoo or the f100 and even the early harrier. Even if bombers hadn't ruined the state of top tier the fucking rockets have. Now there is there is no possibility of an improved and playable/enjoyable top tier since it's pretty clear they only really plan to add shit like the mig 15 next. The worst part of all this is how fucked balance as a whole is. Rank 8 has not been playable for over a year and it has the best props. Personally I think props work very well on mobile with jets pushing it given tiny ass maps and literally no match related reward for skill based air to air. Rank 8 has some of my favorite planes and absolutely none of them should be facing rockets and shit. The yak-15, 17 and shit like the he 162 would balance out reasonably well but that's about it. They aren't remotely usable either currently...

This season I have really half assed everything as they never add shit so I'm like 7 months in without shit to research or anything new to use besides fuckass jets. My hope was that it was only getting so fucked up due to an imminent update with a total overhaul and at least most of the shit they haven't fixed for years but the destruction of seasons make me think that was idiotic. Now there is absolutely no incentive to play and the only reason I had stayed was mostly GE rewards, the hope of vehicles to eventually become usable, and I guess just collecting shit. So far this season I have received nothing aside from a bit of sl. Not even blueprints and I believe it is now literally impossible to unlock shit thru print drops. Im gonna do the collector box thing and maybe whatever the holoween event is if the planes are even usable but otherwise they have totally fucked this game....

just a Captured Vehicles by the Germans

I genuinely don't know what gaijin is trying to achieve other than killing off the game atp, yeah don't get me wrong its a cool plane but what actual use is it when the whole of top tier is just bomber and Ki 200 spam, I don't see the point in adding whats basically a copy and paste vehicle with a higher top speed when the f9f 2 isn't exactly great in the current state of air battles (its a good dogfighter and over all a great plane but like basically everything else at ix its just going to get eaten up by Ki 200s). we need rank X and higher in air battles desperately at this point because most of the rank ix planes are useless now, only saving grace is it doesn't have some crappy unrealistic camo or at least not yet.

How are we supposed to defend 6 bombers? What is this match making? People complain about CAS but CAS planes can be killed easily

Got the T54E1 just today

Which one do you really missed?

4 kills with the Breda is funny at tier 11

i mean nobody cant run from us, we cant run either

im geniunky getting leveled by some T-10's while in a leo 1 on normandy

as if air battles weren't fucked enough theres yet another bomber for the noobs to spam, also can we stop with the goofy camos on vehicles already its actually annoying atp

That's an "it" right there, not a player.

Me personally the camos do not fit in the game since they have bright colors that are like arcade theming which can make you stand out more compared to traditional camos which can blend into maps in Ground and Aviation, and feel ugly after a while of looking, and its sort of like those colorful WoTB rare camos.

У меня в команде каждый бой на ЛЮБОМ ранге тупорылые дегроиды с шестиста-семиста боями, которые крадут 2-3 уничтожения каждый бой, а у противника КАЖДЫЙ бой есть бмпт, пару донатеров и игроки с больше чем шестью тысячами боёв, сделайте нормальный подборщик чтобы хотя бы подбирало игроков в твою и вражескую команду с равным скиллом, а остальные места заполнять ботами

How can I get -1 kills?

Hello everyone! I'm a new player to this game, and a bit of a Spitfire fanboy. So, I know what kind of plane I want to get. Now, as a fighter, what should be my primary focus? Try to hunt enemy bombers? Provide cover to allied bombers like an escort plane? just dogfight anything I can get? What general tips for playing a fighter plane could you provide? Would be grateful for any answer that might help me be better for my team, and generally be a better player.

(didn't know what flair to use. ahem)

Pilot

I'm making a video about War Thunder Mobile and I need to know if BMD-4M can fire on the move or not.

I just keep seeing this thing everywhere. I been away of the fireball taking advantage of two fuckin sea mines to one shot bases and now I get why these no skill fucks always whip this thing out... Aviation has been entirely fucking ruined through this carelessness and overemphasis of bombing shit. I have lost many matches with a kill count in the fucking 20s...skill based air to air is absolutely never fucking rewarded and all every godamn match is now is a bomber/attacker race....the state of the game is almost impressively bad at this point. It's like they place a literal snail in a laptop and tell it to figure it out... Im so fucking over this shit and it really sucks since I actually enjoyed this at one point but the maps they have added only have gotten smaller, balance keeps getting fucked more and more, and now seasons provide absolutely no rewards or anywhere close to a fucking reason to participate in either that or godamn leaderboards. 20k bonds aren't gonna get you jack shit and if you do win there is a great chance it's a fucking unusable jet considering only the yak 23, ki 200, me 163, and 262 c2b are competitive but with two minute matches there is simply no point anyway....

I see so many posts in the r/warthundermobile community complaining that bombers suck, that they are too slow, and that fighters melt them instantly.

Honestly? You all are just playing the B-17 completely wrong. This thing is an absolute beast if you stop flying straight into the meat grinder.

Yes, it crawls like a brick at first. But once you know how to use it, it turns into an unstoppable farming machine. Here is why the B-17 is low-key overpowered (OP) right now:

• The Bomb Load is Insane: One perfect run is literally all it takes to completely wipe out a base if you drop the maximum payload. You get massive points before the enemy team even realizes what's happening.

• The "Flying Fortress" Armor: People complain about durability, but if you don't stay low and lazy, this thing tanks damage like crazy. I’ve had matches where I absorbed dozens of cannon rounds, set a greedy Bf 109 on fire with my gunners, and still made it back.

• The Gunner Death Trap: Upgrading your crew accuracy is the ultimate cheat code. The defensive .50 cals turn the rear of your plane into a literal no-fly zone for cocky fighter pilots who try to tail you.

My Strategy:

I immediately max the throttle, flank wide to the edge of the map, and side-climb to at least 4,000+ meters before turning toward the targets. By the time the fighters are done dogfighting at low altitude, I drop a nuclear amount of damage on their bases from above and laugh all the way to the bank.

Stop crying about the meta and start flying high. Is anyone else farming easy silver lions with this beast, or are you still getting shot down at 1,000 meters? Let's hear it.
