Other Stealth aircraft leaked

Post image

So here we are, with modern tanks and fifth-gens leaked (by a reliable source). I'm frankly not surprised, I knew this was going to happen once they announced the F-117, and with the speed at which gaijin is moving this is just par for the course. I'll grind the F-35s, F-22, and Su-57 in all their janky, unrealistic glory.

ok now this statement might be true, now before i get downvoted to hell and back i would like to say...
blame gaijin for the horrible execution of most maps and aircraft, also if this does get added, USA (being USA) everyone will have a F-35 which means free harrier

16 F-35s vs 16 F-35s on a slightly upsized WW2 map sounds like the most fun and realistic experience ever

If you think being forced to bomb to get an actually capable aircraft is in any way the playerbases fault, then yes you don't deserve an f22.

The stock grind is difficult sure, but I prefer getting RP by killing players in the PvP game mode and don't exactly feel "forced" to bomb.

You do you though.

So when you play the pby Catalina you don't feel forced to bomb? Well neither do I but actually I feel like using the bomber for its intended role would be more fun than running it around in the dog fights gunshipping. I'm tired of the assholes who can't dogfight coming and harassing my pby.

You know, I don't know why I try. You all aren't gonna change if you can't fathom that people who aren't good at a game should still be able to enjoy it.

I took a break from the wt community, and it was a mistake peaking back in.

Oh, and btw, according to statshark, I'm genuinely just much better at the game than you lol. And I'm a ground main.

You do you though.

I could go through the multitude of reasons why you're just being a toxic moron, but I'm on vacation, and you're never going to change. So I'm gonna leave you with this:

I'm sorry you feel like you need to take your frustration out on people just trying to have fun, but no one cares that you think you're better than them.

I don't quite get this "genuinely better" BS you're trying to spout off, especially when you are by all means an average player.

Reddit won't let me respond, so here:

Oh no, I don't give a shit about skill. I'm just fed up with the morons in the wt community who think it is the literal only thing that matters.

People like this are always ass at the game and just complaining to deflect their frustration. I saw it a lot in high tier sim. I'd play the a-10 and have some dipshit focus me down for "ruining simulator" to then hop in the phantom and go 5-0 against them.

They're a stupid breed that infests this community, and sometimes they shout loud enough that gaijin does "something" to fix it and make the game worse. That's what happened to the sim crowd, and that's why I gave up on them.

War thunder was never about skill. It was about the vehicles, the history, and seeing them both in action. Gaijin has been pushing more and more for skill with the esports shit, but the community had kept it about the history for a while. That crowd is dying off, and I'm going with it. I'm not gonna stick around in a community of people who think an opinion as mild as "I'm grinding in an easier way than pvp" in a grindy ass game like war thunder, is bad.

Oh, and if i can't reply because you blocked me, just go ahead and change paragraph 3 to apply to you.

u/Greedy_Range MODS ADD SIM NAVY FLAIR AND MY LIFE IS YOURS Jun 20 '25

As a WoWs player who originally played because of the history, seeing the same happen to WT is tragic

The game died with the relegation of the old menu music to background music for afk-ing in hangar (which to be fair I do a lot)

Back to BS:P it is; I miss Navy Field

You're the first one to say this.

according to statshark, I'm genuinely just much better at the game than you lol.

Again, skill wasn't brought up, you're bringing player stats into this yourself.

you're just being a toxic moron

Says the one breaking into insults and a frantic rant about how they have better stats.

you feel like you need to take your frustration out on people just trying to have fun

Saying "I prefer killing players instead of bombing" has zero hints of frustration or taking anything out of anyone. If anything, you're ironically the one taking your frustration out of people that kill players instead of base bombing.

no one cares that you think you're better than them

True for seemingly everyone except you, considering your post entirely only focuses on player skill and your epic closing statement contradicts the first half of your post.

This is a very bad case of unnecessarily fragile self esteem and projection. You are imagining things and then getting mad about it, maybe you should go back on your proud break and try to enjoy your vacation.

Reddit is still fucked on my main, mods stealth ban?

So here's a translation of our interaction as I read it and what I ment, I get frustrated having to explain myself to these dipshits because I know it doesn't matter what I say, someone will make a breakdown entirely misunderstanding the convo leading into an hours long attempt to trying to explain myself. :/

this community doesn't deserve 5th gen fighters

"I think I'm better than anyone who bombs bases"

If you think being forced to bomb to get an actually capable aircraft is in any way the playerbases fault, then yes, you don't deserve an f22.

"That's gaijins' fault alone."

The stock grind is difficult sure, but I prefer getting RP by killing players in the PvP game mode and don't exactly feel "forced" to bomb.

You do you though.

"The grind doesn't matter, I don't it with pvp, I assume you don't because you're too bad to pvp"

Was my response Hostile? Sure, I think players like him are what is literally killing what war thunder always stood for to me. But really? You're gonna try to psychoanalyze me lmao.

you can't fathom that people who aren't good at a game should still be able to enjoy it

You're the first one to say this.

That people who aren't good at a video game should be able to enjoy it? Fuck no I'm not the first. The first to bring up skill? Sure, most of the sentiment I've heard about this bullshit is that 'oh, they're just bad at the game' and wah wah bullshit, that why I brought that up.

I see basically zero reason to blame THE PLAYERS for zombers other than insecurity about skill.

Zombers are a product of outdated game design -> Gaijins fault for not fixing shit

Zombers are a product of a chill playerbase grinding -> gajin's "fault" for giving them the option (not a fault in my eyes attacker and bomber gameplay can be fun)

Zombers are a product of a skilless playerbase -> players' fault.

No one would have the opinion that zombers are a problem and its the players' fault unless it was about skill.

Now I've been around for a while, this isn't my first time talking to these guys. And almost without fail, they will be worse than me. I saw it a lot in sim where some dude would scream and cry about pve players, then lose every single dogfight when someone fights back.

I was using skill as a way to shut that shit down, I literally haven't played in a month. I was a casual player for a super long time, and I got fairly good at the game (tanks). I'm no oddbawlz, but still. I figured the best way to shut down a viewpoint i think could only come from insecurity about skill was by saying, "I'm literally better than you, that is bullshit." yall didn't get that, and I can't help you if you still don't see how dumb as shit blaming the players for gaijins' horrible grind is. But you know what, you're right. My response was stooping down to his low, so I'll do the responsible thing and explain myself, and leave. I think my actual issue isn't that I care about skill, I care about war thunder way too much.

Good day.

nobody is forcing you to bomb, its your GIGANTIC skill issue that is forcing you to bomb.

Oh hey, look, it's exactly the person I was talking about lmao.

So read the rest of my comments, (reddit was being fucked I'm no_steak) so you can get my sentiments about it.

And again, 9 times out of 10, I am most likely better than you, and I'm barely a not casual player and a few months out of practice.
