Zeno's War Thunder rage thread

[ThatZenoGuy]

Making this thread to list bullshit in War Thunder and interactions with the community, because making this sort of thread anywhere else would just get me banned and censored.

Play War Thunder? Great! Add to the thread if you want! I wanna hear your stories.

Going to start with this.
-Minengeschoss has a totally unique fuze requirement that no other HE shells have, which isnt' historical at all. And appears to exist to make them not fuze on Russian (and only Russian) airplanes. Great!

Tried to explain to the community that Russian naval guns are overperforming (both in ROF for a few guns, and accuracy for most of them), and the response was just a bunch of retarded fallacies, strawmen and other garbage not worth my time to respond to.

It's not as if anything I was saying was false, you can look at the ingame stats for yourself, russian cannons are roughly '1 step' more accurate than other nations.

Russian 6 inch is as accurate as German 5 inch guns, and so on. Smaller guns are more accurate in general, which is the opposite of reality due to how quality control and oh I dunno MOMENTUM works.

I really hope the game dies in 10 years just to upset them. I've never met a more bipolar and frankly artificial feeling playerbase.
I'm legitimately not even convinced most are human, they feel more like ChatGPT clones.

Another anti-Russia post, which I should stress is purely because it's bullshit, because I actually love playing my laughably overpowered Russian KV and T-34 tanks.

The T-80B and T-80U tanks ingame both have thermal imagers, something only 1 (one) of each was built. A testbed and trials vehicle respectively. Despite this, EVERY T-80B/U can access the imager.

Technically this should open a can of worms, with almost every Western tank having super obscure technology, projectiles, upgrades, etc that existed in a single vehicle.

But...Odd...That isn't the case? Oh I wonder why!

It is Russian bias
Ground is the one area that is somewhat decent

Pretty sure the studio making g War Thunder was Belarusian.

Ah, not only Russian but Gaijin.

I used to play Star Conflict also by them, but the annoying monetization kinda pissed me off at some point.

It was a fun Freelancer clone, with some cool looking larger ships.

But I wouldn't go into War Thunder, and I think I mistook it for World of Tanks.

You did.
Wargamming is WoT.
WT isn't as bad, it isn't the best but it is better then WoT if you want realism. Ish.
Thier shooter Enlisted is honestly pretty good but horrible level up.
They are redoing WTs in game grinding system

Ground really is decent in some places, but abhorrent in others.

Post-WW2 it becomes a battle of 'railgun gokarts', where actual vehicle stats hardly matter.
Additionally like usual there's nonsense, like how the most common early-war Russian tanks have Frankenstein ammunition, AKA, the penetration of low-filler ammunition, but with high-filler levels.
Historically the high-filler shattered like crazy, hence they moved to low filler.

 

[Zachowon]

Very very true.
Worst aspect

Going to complain again (then again, it's the purpose of this thread)

Gaijin's 'penetration calculator' itself is complete nonsense. It makes certain things too powerful, certain things too weak, and has been utterly obliterated by the fanbase who have produced superior penetration calculators.

The god damned calculations behind their 'creation' are intended for old-school iron shot and compound armor. Not RHA and APCBC rounds!
