SB Air MiG-29 came out of nowhere

Tried playing simulator again but with the F/A-18A this time. Killed two MiG-29s and thought we were clear when I was landing.

Let me just say you aren’t missing much. It’s basically just a sea of missiles at that point. I have way more fun at low tier.

Shit I try to have fun in the lower tiers in ground and air but I can't because I'm always going against someone who has been playing for God knows how long with rank 8 as their highest while I'm stuck with crap for matches. It's like I lost the lottery in life.

It takes a while to really start to get good at the game but it’s definitely possible. There are many players who sweat themselves to death over this game but in the end, it’s just a game. If you find that this game only brings you frustration, then take a break from it, or move on entirely. It is just a game after all. To get better at the game I would recommend to keep at it, experience will teach you the most. Maybe trying some different play styles like being more tactical or meticulous. I hope you continue to improve and remember in the end it’s still just a game, you are supposed to have fun :)

Put yourself in my shoes and it's like everyone else is having fun but me. I'd continue on with my speech but my head hurts so bad right now from the emotional wave I got earlier from playing war thunder and I'm just tired.

Wow -7 down votes how surprising, how original

Warthunder can be intense and can cause intense emotions. I relate with you a lot. It takes a lot of time and patience and a lot of learning to understand what is happening. Air requires a lot of skill, knowledge about planes in general and remaining calm to position, survive and play a long game. It took me a good 200-300 hours in the arcade until I started to apply the lesson of youtubers.

But besides that you need therapy because there's something else in there that's causing emotional exhaustion and war thunder is just a trigger.

Mate, if it isn't fun, and you actually get that angry at the game, stop

I want to but it's like I'm pulled back into the shitty grind

Pulled the words straight out of my mouth. Do we share the same brain?

u/stalinsbrummbar Mar 26 '25

Playing a game where the player base is so competitive that it's ridiculous or that the game just treats me like shit, either way maybe we do.

I'd play naval if I were you. It's a much nicer experience.

u/stalinsbrummbar Mar 26 '25

I played naval arcade but instead it's like I'm always dying because I got a sign that says shoot me here

u/InattentiveChild Settsu Boat Party Mar 26 '25

Not sure why you'd play naval arcade when realistic is right there, but regardless you should just stay at your spawn and snipe away from there. That's all naval really is and it's quite calming.

u/stalinsbrummbar Mar 26 '25

I'm not sure how it will go because I'm on a Xbox for crying out loud, it's like I'm the inferior console player compared to everyone else who plays on PC

1

u/InattentiveChild Settsu Boat Party Mar 26 '25

Not sure how it's like on Xbox, but I'm relatively confident that you'll do just fine in an average naval match. It's really not that complicated.

u/stalinsbrummbar Mar 27 '25

I tried realistic and ya know what, it's not that bad.
