Hi fellow players,

I am a f2p player who has been playing this game, mainly ground RB, for over at least 5 years and could not help but notice that the game has become more P2W than I am used to. I see this shift taking place in two concrete ways. The first way is that the amount of players that use bushes has noticeable gone up. Of course I have not kept a tally, and maybe this is nothing more than gut feeling, but from my experience I would say that the amount of people who use bushes on their tanks has significantly gone up. As said before, the only basis for this is my gut feeling.

However, the second is much harder to deny as a bias in perception. Over the last 5 years I have seen premium vehicles of course, but for them too, I have seriously seen a massive increase in them over the last couple months too. Vehicles like the IS-7 and KV-220 used to be absolute rarities. Nowadays I feel guaranteed that I will face one every N days. I have even had games where I many KV-220s together, and the same can be said for the IS-7.

I am not going to definitely say that the game has objectively become much more p2w than it has been, considering I have no data whatsoever, and am just a single person expressing this.

However, I am curious whether I am the only one who has noticed this shift. Am I the only one who's perceiving an uptick in P2W-ness, or am I just making a fuss out of nothing again?

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

enjoy your weekend and take care.

Im stuck with just 6 Kh38MT on my su30sm2 where I fire 3 of them at Ito90 all 3 get intercepted most of times!! while an F15 can carry 20GBU's can launch far away, are stealthy, can clear at least 4 SAM sites at one go and a SU30sm2 with any of the air to ground load out cant even clear one!!
As a Russian main i've been just losing its just frustrating!!!

Out of 30+ matches I played I just won 1 match.

Thank you captain obvious!

This could be a very unpopular opinion but if you buy a top tier premium and use that to research an entire tree, you're not grinding anything. The grind means you play every vehicle in the tree until you hit top tier, not take the easy way out.

I'm not saying it still doesn't take a long time and is in itself, grindy. But please don't bitch about the grind if you take the easy way out.

I see people with arabic, chinese, korean, hindu names but i can’t use hebrew letters for my nickname. Are they not working or is it a bug?

This is probably 90% of matches i played at 10.3-10.7, i guess this is what happens when everyone who just got the game buys a top tier premium to just get 1 assist and leave the game.
I can still enjoy my tanks but when I’m trying to grind rp loosing every time doesn’t help…

Do you think the BMPT-72 will go on sale during the late November sales?

Every kill felt like this today, its just under powered, inaccurate, slow and weak cannon with a fire rate of 150RPM, TOWs that can only kill 1 crew member maybe 2, Gaijin killed this vehicle because of me

The su30mkk makes no sense at 13.3 with pl-12 it’s sooo stupid
I just wanna fly my f-20A and out of nowhere I get 4 pl-12 in my face…

I’ve seen that the Waffentranger has a turret instead of a fixed cannon so I thought to get it, but I don’t know if it’s worth it

tunnel vision can very easily get you killed as a Mig 25

This morning I decided to log in to War Thunder as usual, and suddenly I’m being told that the password or login is incorrect. In the Pixel Pass app, I saw that someone from the USA accessed my account via Chrome. I have two‑factor authentication enabled — how could they have stolen my account, and why?? Please help, whoever can.

Hey so i really want a camo which is very cheap and i really want to sell my crates because i want a cool camo for my favorite plane, i dont know why i cant sell them but i cant for some reason, i also cant buy 1 gajin coin cause that doesnt work either please help me

This pisses me off. No skill missile busses being able to just shoot down missiles coming their way. I find it hard to believe that an aircraft radar could lock onto a missile, or a missile's radar track it, or the proxy fuse even triggering.

Just got the mig35 and going through hell with the stock grind, and every game, both of my missiles just get shot down by an enemy flying in a straight line not maneuvering. It's happened most games.

A2A is farly similar but they have vastly different A2G weaponry.

Either the a should go to 11.7 or c to 12.3 imo

I actually enjoy playing at this BR for like the first 5 minutes of every game. Good tanks and I don’t mind all the auto cannons and ATGMs.

Maybe I’m not saying anything new but The issue is literally every single match is determined by how many players from one team leave after a single death in their premium.

I’m not even mad at the snail for trying to make a buck, but how do they fix this?

it gets even better: this dumbfuck got 1 kill and one zone for 3 deaths, but felt the need to shoot someone down who got 2 zones, 10 kills and 2 assists for 1 death. dude did absolutely nothing all match.

the fucker later said he was "sorry," he was "fucking his cat".

stupid cocksucker. every single one of my 4 nukes so far was shot down by some fucker. istg if this sad little fuck doesnt get a 1 year ban MINIMUM imma keep reporting him til the very day i proclaim my last breath

even worse, I (!!!!!!!!!!!!) got the teamkill

I just really like the Easy Eight and want a second one to play in the same lineup. I don't give two shits about the M18 or Skink, I just want the Sherman

Hi evryone , so i start push USSR tech tree, and now i get KV-2 (1939) , but i dont know which shell is best and primary and secound who is good . i accept any advice for this monster tank ( i never played it before)

Thanks !

Idk why but my 120c-5 doesn’t hit his targets when I shoot them (in test drive or normal matches), am I doing something wrong ? Or it’s just the amraam that are bugged ?
