Sorry for the belated answer!

Nono! I'm actually only tier one and two. smile

But after what I'm going through- I wouldn't mind.
Sometimes it gets me quite hopping mad.

But most of the time it's actually such a blast!
I can't believe I'm saying this but this game is SO MUCH FUN!

Also lately I'm into this brutal full sim events and it just clicks.
Never I would have believed I would have had this much fun!

I think that hard-core simmers would enjoy some of the more realistic modes in WT but their pride won't let them play such a game biggrin

Sometimes I think people can be their own worst enemy.

I stay, in the virtual gaming world, absolutely in the middle.

I enjoy every kind of game from the Arcade Quake mode of War Thunder to the extreme linearity of FSX.
I adore DCS realism and Elite Dangerous (just to name a space game...) outoftheworldness.

Why oh why must fun be mutually exclusive within itself?

How can anyone ruin his or her own free time in the name of some coherency noone will ever check or consider?
And even if it was to be- who cares?

Granted, I can understand those who are absolutely abhorrent of simplifications in a realistic simulator (or forcing-in, in a mortally serious game, some lore breaking, unrelated, and ultimately unnecessary mechanism/vehicle/whatever)- but what's the harm in trying different things?

What if the best and most dedicated UFC champion was a total sucker for Pixar's "Up"?

Lately I've dropped most of the serious sims for the immediate fun of the PvP part of War Thunder arcade flight battles.

Games are for fun.
They are not a blood type! You can change, try everything you need, and even more than one at the same time!

If your free time is dinner, why must I eat always the same dish- thrice at a time?

...

MUST anyone do the same?
- What? No!
Am I going to be back to my other games?
- Hell yeah. Why not?
Am I going to keep War Thunder in my Hdd?
- You can bet anything!

Does this diminish any side of my being a worthy gamer?

LOL. WHO CARES!

I'm.
Having.
Fun.

biggrin

PS: Chucky what's your ID in War Thunder?

My ID is Gabby (after the WW2 ace "Gabby" Gabreski)

I also sit in the middle ground although there was a time when I was that 'hard-core' simmer who turned up his nose at 'arcade' style offerings.

I've had more fun lately with WT and WoT than I ever had with any sim I've owned in the last 10 years I reckon.Maybe it's my age smile

So has WT reached so far as to be able to attack real players on the ground from the air ?
How close are they getting to that ?

Same.

The only thing i still thumb my nose at is the MM when you roll out in a non sim event and look across at your Tiger squaddie and next to him is a Sherman. That annoys me smile

If the sim events get added as a standard mode i can't see myself needing any other flight sim/ground combat type game for a long while. The graphics are superb, ground detail is awesome, sounds are great, models are awesome, the feel of flight is as good as any other sim i have played and the tank combat is wicked. With what is still in the pipeline and the pretty fast updates these guys put out i see a good year ahead for the ground/air forces events.

Had my first experience in the Sim Event last night and absolutely loved it. Died a few times due to stupidity and of course learned the invaluable lesson of tree cover from air attacks but had a blast. Ended up doing much better without those damn Icons and flanking was made possible and fun.

I'm going to post a video of what happened. I couldn't believe it and you wouldn't either if I wrote it.
Has to be seen! jawdrop

Desode it's here, but right now only in special events that have taken place on the weekend.

It's what brought me back to Warthunder as well. Bombing real human controlled tanks in a Ju-87 or IL-2 is INSANE fun. Just wish there was more map variety for the combined arms maps.

I even tried some tanking. I'm still Tier I but getting the hang of it.
