#im thinking specifically war thunder#a big issue is beginners buying top tier premium vehicles to get to the “more fun” modern stuff faster#since if youre playing for free unless you hyper focus on one country only you can easily go 3k+ hours without getting to top tier#but the problem is that despite Gaijin's dogass balancing one thing they do right is slowly introducing new things to pay attention to#little 1.0 BR paper mache tanks are all made with armor and ammo that usually means newbies can just drive into slugfests and have fun#by 2.7 you learn sbout scouting and by about 3.0 you learn about armor and aiming for weak spots#by 3.7ish you start seeing a bigger variety in tanks. now you can meet both speedy and weakly armored tanks or big hulking armored beasts#skipping ahead a bit. by 7.7 you start having more significant decision making on ammo (“just pick APHE” is no longer the universal truth)#by 8.3 you start seeing this combined with other aspects like you cant use HEAT against tanks with ERA for instance#you also start fucking around with scout drones#this is just ground v ground you also have a fuck tonne of shit in regards to air v air and ground v air bc the “tank mode”... isn't that#also NVG and thermals. laser rangefinders. even fuckier armor layouts. SPAAs that basically work as TDs. missiles. new ammo types.#new engagement logic. new strategies. fucking uhhh dozer blades (you can dig holes now) etc.#so new players joining top tier right away just have to deal with a fucktonne of shit and countless buttons and they cant even do damage#bc they dont have a clue about where to even shoot#and often they only have the one vehicle so ofter they die once or twice (if they use a backup) they leave - typically though only once bc#they have this stupid idea of it not being worth it to stick around but they have no clue how the economy works so theyre just wrong#so yeah top tier is plagued by teams upon teams of noobs with top tier premiums who have exactly 1 idea about how the game works#and thats “shoot tanks”#like for context i got like 3k hours and after those 3k i was frustrated about how fsr behind my air tree is (7.7 ground 6.0 air barely)#so i bought a plane and later a tank and even after 3k hours the jump from 7.7 to 10.0 on ground (or 6.0 to 9.7 for air) was awful#ramblings of a madman
