God I hate that map. I was doing really well last night only for my girlfriend to interrupt me mid game so I had to exit.

Map seems "okay" for me but def. not one of my favourite maps.

I dont get the flat ocean map at all. This map does not make any sort of sense at all.

I'm waiting for the British ships to come out. Could t be bothered to grind on the USA stuff when I was just going to ditch it once the Royal Navy was released.

Prepare to wait longer. It looks like they will focus on soviet ships next.

I have kind of lost interest really - got fed up of watching the rest of my 'team' hurtle off in different directions and getting picked off one by one. Also, got annoyed when hit by a couple of torpedos while in a mid level battleship with full health, and promptly exploded!

General balance in WoWs is kind of okay.

The biggest issue in that field right now is balance for battleships or to be more specific, the accuracy of their guns that have more RNG to them as they probably should have. It is very annoying when you only miss shots because the RNG felt like you should not hit something right now.

I started to play War Thunder Ground Forces with Whip a few weeks ago and we play realistic battles and the balance appears to be fine. I guess it doesnt help that we focus on the british tanks right now and tanks like the crusader of valentine suffer from crap armor (crusader, valentine) and their two pounder guns.

I am also playing armored warfare which can be quite fun especially on PVE.

All of these games sadly suffer from a player base that can keeps surprising me how stupid and toxic they can be..

If its a game people play, then its more than likely that.

I guess it is related to all of these games being free to play.

The first thing is that since they are "free" everyone can play them and a lot of people dont really care about what they do and how they act because they did not spend money. If you get your account for let's say world of warcraft banned, it is much different as getting your account on a f2p game banned.

The other side is that most of these games follow a simple structure:
1. You play games and you earn experience and ingame money.
2. Experience is used to unlock updated for your vehicle/character and you eventually buy them with ingame money.
3. You progress through a tech tree and your goal is to reach the end or a specific vehicle in a specific part of that tree.

Technically you are not playing to win, you are playing to unlock the things you want to have. This is a trend that became popular since the first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Of course you always had people before that that were focused on kills, even when it was not the major point of the gamemode like ctf in unreal tournament or conquest in battlefield. The main difference is that this was often a exeption from the rest of the player base. Games like WoT are specifically build to promote gameplay that is centered about you unlocking things.This creates very often situations in these games where people do the more or less the opposite of a gamemode because it leaves them with a higher chance to get more points on their own accounts.
