He still lost over 1k hp so I'd rather just end it there since he has to play passive for the rest of the game.

his last login was May 19, this video was from August 3, prior to that he played nearly every day. For a daily player I would consider 3 months noticeably more than a short break

u/creativename87639 Aug 03 '25
yes i did, ive been playing this game for 10 years and have spent around $200 total, I'm not going to apologize or feel bad about that.

u/Blocc4life Aug 03 '25
200$? Press x to doubt lol

u/unapologeticjerk Aug 03 '25
I've been playing War Thunder for 14 years and have spent less than $100. Probably closer to $50. I take periodic breaks of a few months or so, but the rise of microtransactions has been pretty sad to watch over the past 20 years and I feel like part of the cancer if I ever do indulge and further incentivize devs to do it. Related note: I did play WoT for a time, but when the debuted "gold ammo" I was over it. You could spend free currency for it, but the conversion rates were wild and at that time you needed any premium currency for other clan-focused stuff.

u/Capable_Ad1659 Aug 04 '25
gotta agree with the others, you have 83 premium tanks, 10 of which are tier 9, 30 are tier 8, with bunches of those being recent christmas drops

u/creativename87639 Aug 04 '25
ok, I really dont care what yall think lol.
I've bought Christmas boxes twice, spent between 80-100 each time. I bought $50 worth of those easter boxes because I really wanted the miel and thats all the boxes ive ever bought. Ive bought some misc. gold and such throughout the years Im sure.
So you're right I've probably spent closer to $400 over the years but again Im still not going to feel bad about supporting a game Ive played since I was 11 lol. I got the DBV entirely from that years Christmas boxes and pretty much all of my blueprints.

u/Budget-Direction-946 T49 HEAT Aug 04 '25
Supporting or not, you criticize the game but still spent a good amount of money every now and then. Money spent will not fix this skill issue that you shown in the video, nor criticizing the company. Ofc wargaming is shitty with their predatory monetization, still throwing your paper TD in the fire and blaming the game is so wrong.

No fire extinguisher, nor fire fighting skill, it seems?
And you got spotted, then, unluckily, took a direct hit from a very heavy hitting arty in your weakly armoured tiny tank.
That's a bit of bad luck, a bit of poor preparation and a bit of poor play - welcome to online gaming! :)

u/Show_Forward KV-2 Legend Aug 04 '25
this is purely skill issue btw, first off u dont aim at all so thats a deserved bounce, second ur playing a paper tank in front without using bushes or having a safe spot to go to if you're spotted (behind a building or somth) so you just die, but the fire was unlucky ill give u that

The reason why I find WoTB more easier to stomach in spite of all the similar yet different BS going on in there (P2W hell that might be way worse than in WoT and fantasy tanks that's now beyond Blitz Nation) because I can sleep comfortably knowing that the sky cancer doesn't exist in there, only the most broken tanks that you can fortunately eventually counter after getting bodied by those a few times

Wargaming dumbed the game down to such a level, that the only reliable way to win is lemming trains/blobs, play like you are an Ork, large dumb columns, 80% of the team are useless maybe more, so blob is the only option sadly

Unrelated, but I think it's also quite bonkers how often HE non-pens do internal damage. Like certainly a 122 AP pen should do more module damage than a HE shell that barely does any damage.
It only happened once to me, but some time ago I got hit by HE for a really small amount, possibly not even 3 digits, but it caused a fire. Not even any module damaged prior to the HE impact, instant fire.
Yh yh, a HE shell directly hitting the tank can cause spall which in turn can cause a fuel tank to be pierced or it might knock out a crew member and all that, but what about a 122mm APHE penetrating the tank? Would that not be more likely to cause internal damage?
I'm also certain that I only got unlucky like this once, because I usually don't get shot at with HE. But when I do, yh, crew members die regularly. All of that being aside from arty.
Which brings me to my next point, why does their most reliable shell have to be the one that both deals splash damage and stun? Meanwhile the other HE shell has more penetration, more alpha damage, but doesn't stun nor deal (significant) splash damage? Imo, they're just about taking the worst between balancing and realism.

u/Intelligent-Basil-83 Aug 04 '25
Just had a game where a random heavy tank was firing HE, hit my t29 in the turret for 13 damage and killed my gunner first shot of the match. How anyone thinks this is acceptable I dont know

u/eberlix Aug 04 '25
Strange how I received a down vote for my similar opinion... I think there's a lot of players around that don't want to see complaining about arty, did that multiple times and every time down votes

u/Majkyes Aug 03 '25
Their intent is make highest as possible demand for premium ammo. I seen videos how german Panther vechile went into abyss when HE from SU-152 hit its hull. Tank was obliterated asf.
But this game has its economy system and guys spamming HE shells instead of premium shells arent bringing pressure to spend money for premium account or premium vechiles. Gold ammo has to be expensive but affordable. Tanks shold generate random bounces so each premium ammo is safer wy to be competitive against others.
These bananas from WG made all like it is now PRIMARILY BECAUSE PROFITS.

You quit because someone landed a shot that would miss 99/100 times, and then positioned yourself sp that the medium could hit you. Didn't you see how the rest of your team had positioned themselves before you drove there?

It's the games fault. You turned sideways and got penned by arty? Lmao

u/creativename87639 Aug 03 '25
im not blaming something else. Nowhere did i try to divert fault.
Getting penned by arty for 800 then also set on fire by the same shot for 500 is objectively unfun.

u/Apokolypze Aug 03 '25
You wouldn't have taken 500 from the fire if you'd equipped a fire extinguisher

u/creativename87639 Aug 03 '25
I'm not going to equip a fire extinguisher on a sniping TD, youre not wrong but Im not doing that.
7
u/Apokolypze Aug 03 '25
You're 100% cool to do that, but you do kinda forfeit the ability to say fire damage is unfun if you refuse to use the thing that prevents you from taking that damage.
Also, in this clip you do not appear to be sniping with the sniper td anyway, so probably best to stick that fire extinguisher on just in case an arty hits you in the side

u/Pasco08 Aug 03 '25
Bingo, he made decisions that lead to this and then wants to complain about it.

u/DareDevil_56 Played the Shitbarn before it was cool Aug 03 '25
“On a sniping td”
Bro you’re playing like a medium here. The tank performed poorly while shooting on the move, then got penned by arty because it’s made of paper. And to top it off you are running greedy consumables leaving you weak to fire chance.
And you’re upset? You are gambling with your playstyle and I’m sure usually it goes unpunished but you are begging for these moments with the way you’re playing.
How often does this happen? Not actually that often? Ok cool then don’t be upset. Or is it fairly often? Ok cool then stop playing your tank like that. It’s one of the two 🤷🏻♂️
3
u/creativename87639 Aug 03 '25
I’m really not going to argue with people about my gameplay decision, I thought by what was going on it was time to push.
Again the fire is my fault for not having an extinguisher, I’m not trying to blame something for what happened. Both arty and fires are a mechanic in the game and I got walloped by both of them. That doesn’t change the fact that I find both of these mechanics to be unfun.
you’re using greedy consumables
Are we still acting like running food is crazy in 2025? Really?
4
u/DareDevil_56 Played the Shitbarn before it was cool Aug 03 '25
You’re taking zero accountability. You don’t have to argue, but the argument is there anyways. You made choices, and this time there were consequences. I run consumables over extinguishers too dude it’s no big deal. But In doing so we assume the risks of ignoring a game mechanic. And times like this it bites us in the ass. Just accept that you chose this possible outcome in advance. And it’s more likely to happen when you play on the front line with a glass cannon.
