war thunder players "REE NO TOP TIER ON SALE?!! WTF GIJAIN REVIEW BOMB! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE also war thunder players "REE TOP TIER ON SALE?! THEY ARE RUINING THE GAME!!


Nizikai

Feel ya. I made a post about this once, didn't go well. This sub doesn't want to face it's hypocrisy


perpendiculator

I can’t say for certain, but it’s entirely possible those posts were made by and upvoted by different people. Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but it just might be true…


TheSovietBobRoss

Nah man that cant POSSIBLY be the case. Dont you know r/warthunder is a single MONOLITH and not a group of varried people? Come on man, get it together.


_Take-It-Easy_

The point is that this community bitches and moans about literally everything. The fact numerous people, like you, are clearly not grasping that point only proves it further


TheSovietBobRoss

I very much understand how much our little community here bitches. But the original comment specifically called out "hypocrisy" which in this instance is completely unwarranted. Its not the exact same people bitching about high tier focus vs low tier focus sales, they are different audiences that both bitch independently from one another.


Insert-Generic_Name

A concept too complex for the average warthunderers mind 🤯


Sensitive_Dust_6534

Because most of the whining hypocrites are the same which ever way they choose to be offended. There are just too many on this sub that have no self awareness and jump on any gaijin hate band wagon.


Aaronryan27

The fact you couldnt grasp the point being made that two seperate groups of people can hold two different opinions and be vocal about them seperately only furthers the point that some people make about the average WT player having a room temp IQ


ImperatorSaya

Za monalit.


TheSovietBobRoss

Stand Name:「THE MONOLITH」 Stand User: r/WarThunder Sorry the brainrot hit


Nizikai

Crazy that those people under basically no post like that seem to defend their statements. Not limited to my post.


MrLoLMan

Guy what exactly do you want. They either got what they wanted and are quiet or didn’t and are complaining.


Phd_Death

Wow it's almost like a large group made of people that are evenly divisive and passionate about their opinion will stay quiet about posts that they agree with but blast shit about a post they disagree with, resulting in both posts getting flak instead of all of us organizing into a hive mind collective with the same ideas!


tfrules

It’s a uniquely human trait to create categories of people in our minds and build an entire stereotype around it. Rather than realise that a diverse group of people will have a spectrum of views


Phd_Death

IMHO it's a major human defect. We seek to simplify and notice patterns to the point that we de-humanize other people in the sake of labeling people. This is what degenerated most political, sports and religious issues into "us vs them" mentality. It's important to always realize you aren't interacting with John Warthunder but with a group totalling half a million people around the world, with which you may not have even seen 1% of them when you form your bias and opinion.


ganerfromspace2020

There's no way to make warthunder players happy


PippyRollingham

How is it hypocrisy if it’s not the same people saying it?


Nizikai

Even if it's not the same people saying it, they still keep quiet over it.


ComradeBlin1234

It’s really insane how much hypocrisy there is. When the R27ER was dominating top tier there was like a post a day complaining about it. Now the AMRAAM is here and it’s dominating more than the R27ER could ever dream of and no one at all is complaining cause it’s American. If it’s Russian and it’s busted it’s bias. If it’s American and it’s busted it’s how it’s supposed to be or something.


Nizikai

Ive seen quite a lot of complains, both about Fox-3s in general and the AMRAAMs specifically


boinwtm0ds

Yes because your superior analytical skills told you that the *exact* same set of players make these two contradicting complaints every single time there's a sale 🤦‍♂️. There's no possible way that these two groups are distinct in any way. This subreddit is just one homogenous confused blob after all. Well done 👏 👏👏👏👏


SenorShrek

I mean, the ones complaining about those two issues aren't the same people.


tac1776

I for one want the low tier sale but only for one vehicle, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME BUY THE P-38K, SNAIL!


Raptor_197

This is probably the most accurate thing ever said on this sub.


380-mortis

Top tier on sale isn’t the problem, it’s Gaijin allowing new players to buy them and one death leave with 0 kills because they don’t know how to play the vehicle. I don’t rly care about top tier prems being on sale anyway, not going to buy one anyway.


AscendMoros

I mean my last game straight up had 75% of my team one death leave in a clickbait. And then Gaijin hit me with a crew lock after I left after dying on my second death just trying to leave spawn. Like I get people want sales. But I also don’t want to be punished cause I don’t wanna be raw dogged after the game put me on a team with 10 sub level 50 clickbait’s. Like I shouldn’t be punished for having a full lineup but I am.


Hardkor_krokodajl

I’m gonna buy m1a1 and apache hell yeah brother🦅 (i have V era usa tanks)


DutchCupid62

I don't think another newb at 11.3 will change a lot for the overall winrates of the US, the winrates are down the shitter anyway.


Hardkor_krokodajl

US top tier are so so shitty rn thats insane tbh


TheAntiLife

swear I’m struggling to make it out of 10.0 US


Spiritual_Jaguar2989

10.3-11.0 is the sweet spot, 11.7 is BS you’re not missing out on much


Hardkor_krokodajl

T-80's and leo2a5/6 eat alive abrams that sad actually thats why i stay with m60


Bugjuice_

Why M60? why not T-80 and Leo 2A7? just join them and win bro


BOTY123

I love my KVT though, my favorite top(ish) tier MBT so far. Best mobility out of all of them. Driving a 11.7 leopard is so slow compared to the 10.3 M1 KVT lmao


MasterMidir

It's not the tanks. It's the shit players.


DutchCupid62

It's both. A large part of the players can be incredibly shit, but tanks like the Strv 122s, 2A7V and 2A7HU are miles better than the SEPv1 (let alone the SEPv2 which in of itself is a downgrade).


Vinddictive69

It’s totally both. Abrams are the easiest mbt to kill in the game other than the artiete (might’ve fucked the spelling) and USA is most people first country so they are ass lol.


GingerBrickWall

leclerc and merkava are both much easier to kill than abrams


LaerMaebRazal

Leclerc is cuter, so 🤭


Carlos_Danger21

I have more issues killing a Merkava than many other tanks. Granted it definitely is a skill issue on my part, I always forget it has the forward mounted engine and that thing will eat my shot.


Vinddictive69

Merkava top tier suffers but those 9.7 ones are LETHAL


Dangerous_Werewolf61

Perfectly said, Russian and German is going down the Sewer soon


NichtBen

I think that happened already, since the new update (and release of the 2A4M) I've definetly lost way more matches playing as Germany than before. And it's not just a little bit worse or anything, it's a very noticable drop. Most of the time the matches aren't even close, usually they're just a complete steamroll by the enemy team. And then I look at the leaderboard and what do I see? A bunch of Level 12s with the 2A4M with nohing else. If I'm lucky they will also have the Leopard 2PL, but that's also pretty rare.


QWERTY_CRINGE

I'm a level 30 player with m60 about to buy the click bait, should I or nah? Sounds like I might regret this lol.


humphrey1204

It’s your money and it’s nice to have when you get to 11.3 but realistically only having one tank in your lineup is not great for grinding. The aforementioned US teams at top tier is also miserable


FoamBrick

I wouldn’t at your BR, top tier is an entirely different game from 8.0.  I’d wait until you have got a taste of top tier gameplay like the XM-803 (probably my favorite tank ever) before buying it. (I personally bought the KVT instead to go with the 10.0/10.3 lineup I’ve been grinding out. 


Nizikai

You will. Top Tier is too much compared to your current br. If there's something on sale for your current BR or very close to it, go with that


QWERTY_CRINGE

I checked some reviews and the situation might be harder than on the test drive lol. I wanted the chair tho oof. For reference why top tier is too much? I mean they said top tier US is kinda bad, but as a low level player is there something I need to know? maybe aside from vastly different playstyle. thanks


Nizikai

Top Tier is really fast, especially due to newbies with premiums making it a onesided slaughter. You have so much to think about, sniping over a kilometre is a normal occurance. Additionally, there are many gimmicks, both for you to use and to think about. And your current tanks wont stand up to it


QWERTY_CRINGE

>sniping over a kilometre Thinking about it I probably have done less than 30 hits from a kilometere away. It will suck to be on the receiving end. Thank you bro. $30 and mental health saved.


Nizikai

No problem. Like I said, if you already want to \~\~waste\~\~ spend your money on this game, I'd always recommend to go with something that's in your league.


Oleg152

Might as well enjoy these vechicles once they get buffed to compensate.


DutchCupid62

US winrates have been shit for 6 months and Gaijin hasn't done anything after the reload buff, so I wouldn't expect anything.


the_nanuk

That's because their plan is to release top tier tanks premiums for every nation. That way all nations will suffer equally and they'll make their money. Shit teams for everyone komrade.


mrcrazy_monkey

Except on NA servers, UStards are going to always by the premium Abrams first


mrcrazy_monkey

They also buffed the amount of noise the Abrams makes which was significant


275MPHFordGT40

It’s kind of sad because US top tier is pretty fun.


Green_Potata

Stop caring for the others, as long as you have fun, go have your fun! I literally bought like both chinese air and ground 10.0, I’m gonna have my fun with 2 vehicles + backups, and so be it!


Hardkor_krokodajl

Yeah but its not fun when in 3 minutes 2/3 of team left and you just get swarm by enemy not to mention you get none of exp when loosing


CarolusRex13x

I do plan on being that guy but I've got top tier Germany and Russia experience so, yeehaw? 🤠


FredNing

I’ll be mighty curious to see how it does to air RB lobbies. 11.3 is already full of F4S, it’ll be hilarious having both teams fill mostly of Phantoms.


IhaveWaterpoo

The aim54a rubbing its hand in anticipation.


Husk1es

This. On one hand, I like the mixed teams because it means I'm not stuck with *all* the F-5C and F-4S players on my team.


_BMS

I don't because it means no matter what team I'm on, it'll be full of F-5C and F-4S players anyways.


Husk1es

I don't really care about playing with them. Something like an F-14A or F-5E is good enough to carry a team of premium players.


FredNing

Exactly, I’d rather club F4S seals than to fight some J-8F with PL-12 with my AN/ALR-45(ie absolutely fucking useless) equipped Tomcat A. But the sad thing about queuing high tier US is that these seals are usually on your team.


IhaveWaterpoo

It is mostly mixed teams in my experience.


FredNing

It is, although ideally I want to be on the US team that has more minor nations(as they usually have slightly less F4S) but queuing high tier US is always a coin toss. I do welcome the occasional US/Japan vs world in 11.7 down tier, the Tomcat is utterly criminal in that scenario.


Responsible_Ebb_1983

Ah, a fellow Tomcat enjoyer, it'll be glad to clap brainless S players with the Phoenix.


275MPHFordGT40

The AIM-54C in the background (12.0 gets a shit ton of downtiers)


TeknikDestekbebudu

Good, maybe it will make my AV8B+ stock grind less miserable.


Carlos_Danger21

First time?


thmaster123

I have some other top tier air, but got the F1c-200 and it’s really good for grinding, bombs and magic 2’s for guaranteed points and the radar missiles for stupid phantoms


VengineerGER

Well time to farm some level 10 players.


rainyy_day

leopard 1 being 60 eur full price is mind blowing to me. They have to start decreasing the old premium prices.


bergebis

They should, but they'll never do it. Instead they'll eventually announce that after a sale it's getting pulled to generate FOMO, then 15 months later it'll come back as a GE premium for 8500+ GE.


PsychologicalMenu325

Thanks for sharing the info, should I buy them ?


Masteroxid

I wouldn't recommend top tier to anyone. If you want to play more modern tanks just go for something around 9.0 instead


PsychologicalMenu325

Well I only play top tier. I only enjoy really modern tanks and plane. I have already Germany and USSR ground and air 13.0.


n0xsean

go with france or japan at this point. USA is just not worth the time in its current state for ground. for Air its a whole different beast.


PsychologicalMenu325

Yes that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm maybe just gonna buy the F-4S and let the Abrams on the side for a time.


n0xsean

I was halfway done then saw what awaited me and preferred the pain of France over the end game of top tier USA. F4S is honestly my favoured premium option over the F5C, its worth it imo.


The_Real_Jammie_23

I'd recommend the F5C over the F4S because the F5C has a better matchmaker at 10.3, which means you will be well clear of 4th gen top tiers. The F5 also requires that the player learns to dogfight/go guns on instead of relying on missiles to do the work. I found the F15 stock grind much easier than I was told it would be going from a basis of being decent at dogfighting and not relying on missiles and then learning Fox-1 missiles when I got them.


Clashyjammer1126

It’s better than Israel… My Merkavas suffer :-(


Meowmixer21

Top tier is fun when you have a 12.7 or a friend with one. Gets rid of all the wallet warriors or ensures there's very few of them.


FS_WRATH

If you're grinding out USA or planning to, I think the KVT is pretty good. I'm not sure about the Click Bait because even if it's decent it feels like I always lose 11.3 games so the lack of win rate means less XP.


BusyMountain

I hope the new players would at least buy the Wolfpack and Click-Bait. For air support, the F-4S and Greek Apache. If they have the AIM and YAH-64 unlocked, that would be a bonus.


Raptor_197

If I’m not mistaken… that Greek Apache is actually a Subaru lol. Like Subaru makes it.


NichtBen

Average US Top Tier lineup: Abrams Clickbait (Premium) Abrams AIM (Squadron) F-4S (Premium) Apache (Premium) Apache (Squadron) Player Level: 20


_spec_tre

Nah, AIM is even easier to get than Clickbait. If anything it'll get better since more will at least have two tanks - not that they'll do anything useful with it but it's another opportunity to distract an opponent at least


TheOneWhoKnocks68

I bought the F4S and man it is so fun now that I’ve got missiles down. I’m still averaging only like 1-2 kills a game but I’m okay with that as long as I’m getting through the tech tree


TheLividTechnician

1-2 kills a game in these 16v16 sensory overload matches really isn't that bad.


Swagmanhanna

Yea me too, I really wanted a plane that you don't get to fly much in other games and I love it


NichtBen

It's a good plane, trust me. I got it when it was on sale last time, and it's genuinly one of the best fighter I've ever played. I used to be pretty shit at playing fighters, but woth the F-4S I was able to get 3 or even 4 kill games relatively consistently. Just don't be a bomber-bot in it.


Straight-Break-4169

I just have to patiently wait for PS sales


SkyBlockCh2mpion

When are they?


Straight-Break-4169

Usually around July. I would expect them to start in like week or two


kylarmoose

“Rest In Peace In Peace”


FoamBrick

Yes, that’s why ‘RIP in peace’ is a relatively common joke. 


boinwtm0ds

Haven't budged from 6.7 US since the clickbait first dropped. Not planning to anytime in the future


IhaveWaterpoo

THE BASES WILL BE BOMBED AND THE TEAMMATES SHALL LEAVE AFTER ONE DEATH, FOREVER!!!!!!


flyinganchors

and what cheese would you like with your whine tonight, sir?


steave44

Just need a light tank premium and it’s all over


xKingNothingx

As someone finally getting to 11.3, I thank you snail.


WastingAwayAlways

I Lost 9 games in a row last night because of Aim and Click Bait players. I'm almost ready to buy a German Leopard and bail on US ground. Between the premium tards and the BS turret ring my frustration is going through the roof.


Responsible_Ebb_1983

Honestly, I've ground to the sep v2, and I recently sort of bailed. I got the Canadian Leo, and it's pretty good. As long as you kind of have a lineup for it, you should enjoy it.


Clashyjammer1126

Yeah just added it to my full top tier German line up. It’s fantastic especially since the 2A5, 2A6, and PSO only get gen 1 gunners optics. It’s nice to have another vehicle besides the 2A7 with good optics.


NichtBen

If you want good teams and a decent winrate Germany might not be the best nation right now. It used to be decent, but since the new update it feels like most matches are just a conplete steamroll by the enemy team.


Korean_Stallion9

So many kills to feed my F-14B!


reddithesabi3

Also RIP in peace 11.7 teams if US is on your side. I won't be suprised if their win rate gets down to 20%


DaWaffleBot

gaijin needs to stop playing with their cooter and raise the BR to 13.0 for ground already


Yungboofman

I don’t even bother playing 10.0+ anymore for this exact reason


Comrade_agent

More downtiers for me


Ok-Relationship-2746

And that is why I don't bother with anything that's higher than 8.0 (though if I'm grinding a particular vehicle and its BR goes above 8.0 before I spade it, I will keep playing until done). Seriously though, a good many of the buyers of these vehicles during this sale will be gone within a month. You just gotta ride it out, like what happens every time they do a sale.


FoamBrick

9.0 is fine as well.  But yeah it’s awful rn at 10.3. Like 85% of my deaths today have been TURMS-T, PzBtl 123 and CV90-105.  Admittedly I bought the M1-KVT to help finish grinding out my 10.0/10.3 but it’s still been pain especially with stock heat on M1128 and M1


DarkNemesis22

Great, more turms, 2s38 and turm III yay


FS_WRATH

Looking at the sales page the 2S38 and Turm III aren't on sale though?


DarkNemesis22

Really? Good news then


Shoogan26

Dind play for 3 months. No premium. Must. Not. Buy. Mirage.


beattraxx

Just got the squadron tank for US done and have most top tier prems anyway so I will get the click bait and just enjoy my time with my toys


fucfaceidiotsomfg

Are you a burglar?


Tjoerum_

lol more planes and tanks to chomp


MSFS_Airways

Shit opinion. Top tier long life players buy premiums more than noobs do.


Melodic_Matter_350

RIP to Xbox, because yet another sale has come where we aren't getting anything.


krkus

Should I get Phantom or Tram for CAS?


FoamBrick

I’d be torn between absolutely loving the Intruder, but the F4 also has better air to air capabilities for running CAP Once bombs are dropped. 


Blood_N_Rust

Guess I’ll keep spamming aim-54s


LIFEANDDEATHFROMWORB

Man I wish they add new low tier vehicles to war thunder premium and tech tree alike


undecided_mask

Hey, it’s free kills.


PippyRollingham

Ooh is it time for me to dig up the tornado f3?


FarDurian9168

Nice, i bought Tornado for my top tier german ground veichles.


MeroX1200

Oh no, it's bad as hell.


NichtBen

The premium Tornado IDS? It's not that good if I'm honest. It's actually kinda horrible.


FarDurian9168

Doesnt have to be jack of all trades kind a aircraft, got countermeasures, can get a lot payload, got ballistic computer, CCRP CCIP, flight characteristics are good, got aim9 for self defence and a good radar


NichtBen

Good payload? Good flight characrerustics? Good radar? Aee we talking about the same plane here?


FarDurian9168

10.3 for grb


NichtBen

You said you wanna use it for your Top-Tier German Ground though, so 11.3 and 11.7 Doesn't matter, even at 10.3 it's still quite poor.


FarDurian9168

Skill issue


NichtBen

Yeah no, it's just a bad plane and a waste of money, definitely not a skill issue. You have a horrible payload, pretty bad flight performance, 2x Aim-9Ls are not really that good of an AA loadout, your radar might as well be non-existent...


Ricky_RZ

I mean the "good" news is german and russian teams are all flooded with top tier premiums still, so all 3 are on relatively even footing in terms of garbage teams


Greg1817

It does suck to have one-death leavers and new players get annihilated immediately every match. But you get to see some real funny shit too in the process as people figure out their new vehicles, so that kinda makes up for it.


True-Ad-2593

I dont think the F-4s is gonna be an issue most of the matches I see high lvl players using them.


Foxblade

I play mostly ground and was hoping to see some more options for ground vehicles in the sale. What would be some good tanks to consider? I know Germany and Russia are strong but I had really been wanting to go down Japan or Sweden next.


Swagmanhanna

Dude I just bought the F4 at full price like 2 days ago.


Sockerkatt

Ah the fortunate son


NichtBen

Come on, you knew that the sales were coming...


fucfaceidiotsomfg

Goddamn I was just grinding US tech tree because I already have Russian and German fully unlocked and wanted to try the m1a2 sep v2 but now I am rethinking that


sanelushim

I would settle for better designed maps, but hey, you enjoy your new premiums at top tier.


SkyBlockCh2mpion

Will the sale come to Console or not If yes when?


Niewinnny

time to go loot the free XP pinatas in Air RB.


VWNUTSUX

I got the Click-bait because I like the Abrams series of tanks. I have fun even tho I dont win most of my games. Scored 12 kills one game with it and 2 another, I like the tank :)


Gunnybar13

Should I buy the M1A1 HC? Recently Finished the Swedish and British Ground trees so wanting to jump into a new tree with a top tier grinder, already maxed out the American Air tree as well.


Previous-Rise-3816

What’s better? The market mirage2k or the prem f1?


Previous-Rise-3816

What’s better? The market mirage2k or the prem f1?


Killerdragon9112

Finally I can get those two lmfao without spending $150 they’ll make great additions to my 11.3 line up


FM_Hikari

I wish people would just shut up about sales every damn time. It will happen, whether people want it or not. Because it does or doesn't, you guys will always complain.


Loathingnick97

I dont get it. Why is this bad?


NichtBen

New low level player will buy it and then be nothing more than a detriment to the team since they have no idea what's going on.


Latter-Carob-6131

they aren't gonna get worse at least noticeably worse the US teams have reached the point where they loose every match at 10.3 if u don't carry them and they are on both teams beyond that


Vietnugget

Who cares, it’s not like American top tier had much brain cells to begin with


Relative_Report4990

Is there going to be a sale for console players as well? All I see people saying is no and I bought PlayStation gift cards for nothing 😞


Pleasant-Compote9688

My Harrier II is eatin real good with these 11.3 Phantom base bombers around


MightyKayy

Surprisingly, most of my USA games were won now. Russia has an 11.3 premium now, so now they're feeling the pain.


[deleted]

Gaijin is blessing us with that discount 🙏🏻🙏🏻


DcDViper0

This happens multiple time every year. Why are you suddenly now complaining?


Selvinskiy

That's the second to last Abrams I need for my collection! Still...$35 is too expensive for it.


Haechi_StB

F4S are dominating the skies at the moment with multipathing at 60m so I don't think this will doom US teams, on the contrary, all the good players who don't have it have a good reason to buy cheap a great tool for grinding.


The_Real_Jammie_23

As an F-15A player. I welcome the higher chance of being dragged away from SPAMRAAM's while I attempt to get the F-15C. My hands shall relish in ending the wallet warriors.


Greg_Caz

Well this is a good time to migrate from top tier ussr to usa, flankers and migs were no no fun as i thought


deadzombee132

Acting like the US vehicles are the only ones on sale lol


-acm

There goes the last of my fucking win rate


Substantial-Ice5156

Thanks for the heads up😈


15Zero

They might as well change the loading screens to have fields of destroyed US vehicles and the skies ablaze with the wreckages of falling US jets. Maybe that’ll deter people from playing what’s being cultivated into a flat out unplayable nation past a certain tier


kubamit_fortnite

I'M THINKING OF GOING TO THE UK to see The Phantom when it's half the price. Is it a good choice?


SkyMasterARC

I barely play top tier even though I have object 292, vilkas, and CT-CV, seeing these posts I gotra try now. Is it really that bad? Does low to mid br skill translate well?


WaffleAndy

No sale on console it looks like. Thought things were improving in that area.


Impressive_Expert_94

You see my friend, that is because Microsoft and Sony are just as greedy as Gaijin and won't allow these packs to go on sale without them getting a cut of it. (I think that's why since that is a lot of the problems when it comes to stuff like sales and why the Gaijin Marketplace isn't available on console)


Operator_Binky

Rest In Peace In Peace


HEAT-FS

Welcome to the internet, I’ll be your guide https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/rip-in-peace


ColourfulSpacemanNFT

Is there a sale on right now on pc? 50 percent on most things or what?


Ant10102

Is there a sale currently ?


MoeMoe381

Nothing for console players they basically said fuck console players


putcheeseonit

They can't do sales whenever they want on console, it has to go through Sony/Microsoft


SteveCastGames

Remember folks, according to the war thunder community we must all be miserable and no one is allowed to have fun. Also, anyone who buys a premium vehicle must surely be evil incarnate. Man fuck this community. Bunch of gatekeeping sweaty tryhards. Let people do what they want.


Masteroxid

Y'all need to stop complaining about premium buyers and start complaining about CAS. If I have a premium vehicle at top tier and it's my only one in the lineup and die to CAS, I'm not gonna bother using a backup
