War Thunder, this game has so many bad things going for it I probably could rant about it for hours, but I find it really fun. If you do ever end up playing this game, please please don't spend money on it, high tier is an absolute mess and isn't worth spending money on it or grinding for it, just play the game to have fun and unlock things as you go even though it takes fucking forever.

What's your favorite classified military document?

Hmu, no shit. I love that game. Enlisted too if you play. Only Advanced in Soviet tree except for naval.

I gave Enlisted a shot when it came out, it was ok, haven't tried it since though. I saw in a video recently that they added vehicles and they look to be copy pasted over from War Thunder mostly, and that interests me so I may give it a shot again. I'll send you a message one of these days when I'm in the mood to play, been busy these past few days and I just kind of sit around and watch movies and posting in my free time currently.

Based?

I liked the original release more than the current, but mostly becaus the premium squads make me sad. That being said, getting tk shot Nazis in face 100% of the time in a multiplayer game is golden. The Tunisia campaign lets you do it with mostly WW1 tech so with s bit of creativity it’s probably as close as we are gonna get to a Spanish civil war game.

Cheers

If you’re unaware they recently got rid of the campaign system and replaced it with a Battle Rating system and tech tree (I haven’t played war thunder but I think that’s what that game uses). I enjoy playing low tier soviets and allies

That’s saddening, but I like the tier system. I don’t want to be playing against low tier nazi troops mixed with IJA troops while defending Stalingrad.

The nations are still separated so you can only get Japan vs usa in the pacific maps, soviets vs nazis in Stalingrad etc. so it’s not ahistorical in that aspect. That said the brits are part of the us tree and the italians part of the nazis so you can still get italians in Moscow but that’s not that noticeable imo

Edit: and I think after the merge aside from legacy squads there’s only like 2-3 Italian/British squads in the tech tree

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

That’s better than I’d feared.
