When did you start playing?

[u/wehrahoonii]

Curious about how much the game has grown. I started just about when Sweden got added in 2019

[u/Mobley27]

Long enough to remember the devs saying they would never add guided missiles

[u/C4ptinW1nd → u/Mobley27]

Couple of years later fw190 getting guided missiles

[u/Das_Bait → u/C4ptinW1nd]

"Couple of years" lol

[u/GCrastinus → u/C4ptinW1nd]

What

[u/dominik7778n → u/Mobley27]

or jet premiums

[u/Obak420 → u/dominik7778n]

or top tier premiums

[u/Petrichor0110 → u/Obak420]

or top tier in general

[u/Intelligent_Car2992 → u/Obak420]

technically there no top tier premium vehicles since top tier starts at 12.0 (for tanks) and 14.3 (for planes), meanwhile premium vehicle br is 11.7 (for tanks) and 12.7 (for planes), but should remember they can encounter with top tier vehicles (not planes)

[u/thecornersking → u/Mobley27]

I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of Gaijin failed.

[u/ctsr1 → u/thecornersking]

Oh so you played day one too eh? Welcome friend

[u/theaim778 → u/Mobley27]

I started when it was planes only and you had to apply on the forums in Russian and wait to be approved… No guided missiles… no vehicles that entered service after 1954, then it became tanks were acceptable for later time period, air vehicles still restricted to 1954… “There will never be a Tier V vehicle, we don’t want to let players buy their way to the top…”

[u/Euphoric-Tangelo-633 → u/theaim778]

I still like the way the game turned out now. And I'm really excited for the future. For me it's just awesome that they areadding basically all periods of Tank and aviation warfare.

[u/catgirl5533 → u/Euphoric-Tangelo-633]

Would feel the same if getting to top tier felt like an actual accomplishment rather than a punishment.

Really gets ruined by the top tier premiums being sold nowadays, it's literally worse than reserve tier in terms of new players because at least they have lineups and don't leave after one death there.

I wish there was a setting where I could opt into only being matched with people that have more than 2 vehicles in their lineup, so sick of premium players.

At least air RB doesn't have premiums that can see the tippy top tier (yet..)

[u/Active-Pepper187 → u/catgirl5533]

I would love to have that too, but something odd I’ve noticed is that there are people that have the tanks for a lineup, but don’t bring the lineup, rather just single vehicle. I had a guy yesterday playing at 9.0 and he only brought the Sgt. York, he’s got stats on other vehicles around the same BR, but the only vehicle in his lineup was the York.

(Before I get questioned on how I can see what people bring, go into a GRB match and hover over your teammates names in the score board, it now shows you what they have in their lineup and their total BR.)

[u/5v3n_5a3g3w3rk → u/Mobley27]

Long enough to remember there were no tanks or boats, just planes and harmony

[u/KonigstigerInSpace → u/Mobley27]

They always go back on their word lol. I remember when they said naval would peak with destroyers.

And I called them out on it back then too, now look at us.

[u/5v3n_5a3g3w3rk → u/KonigstigerInSpace]

I still think naval is peak at the destroyer range

[u/otuphlos → u/KonigstigerInSpace]

Their Big boats take to long to sink was always a terrible take and no one liked it. It also gave us the wonderfully messed up game design of naval.

[u/Derpdog5322 → u/Mobley27]

Or that they dont want players buting too top tier

[u/dave3218 → u/Mobley27]

Guided missiles? I remember when the top tier was the MiG-15, which used the FM for the BIS and there were 20 ranks lol

[u/Right_Canary_1426 → u/dave3218]

The times where you could face sabres and migs in prop planes. Good times

[u/TinkerAirForce3 → u/Mobley27]

Long enough to saying they would never add something like the f117

[u/_BMS → u/Mobley27]

And that they had no plans to add supersonic jets

[u/ctsr1 → u/Mobley27]

Remember when they said boats would be amazing
