When I started I was Arcade playing all time. Cuz no one ever told me there was a realistic mode too and I always wondered why these UA-camrs don't get enemy name tags and distance.
Both gamemodes require their own set of skills. Realistic requires heightened sensory awareness. Arcade requires heightened reaction speed. Scouting in Arcade requires much more skill than it does in Realistic. Aiming in Realistic requires much more skill than it does in Arcade. One gamemode is not superior to the other.
Moving from Arcade to Realistic was a big jump for me. You need three or four coffees to get up to speed in Arcade. Realistic lets you plan and work the map but is still killing me slowly. :P
Good Day Justin, Just want to say I really enjoyed the happy & exciting Justin - after seeing the stressful Justin before the sponsored stream. This is exactly the enthusiasm which I've learnt to enjoy and why I watch your videos! This really shows the passion you have for what you do - do what you love - love what you do! Well Done & Congrats for being an awesome creator - and thanks for keeping us entertained!
to be honest, i am mainly an acade player who has played a lot of top tier in arcade and it is definitely harder than in realistic, my KD is higher in top tier realistic ( about 4) compared to arcade (around 3) and if you have played for long enough, tryhards are very common in many arcade top tier squadrons like NODER and AstaR
Arcade reduces most repair costs (AA and some SPG being an exception) and it rewards you more modification RP. Plus it's very quick paced and simple so you can just queue back in whenever you run out of respawns or the game ends

Before I grinded the heli tree I played helis in Arcade to see how good a ATGM carrier with thermal really is for me. It was a good experience in the air, but on the ground. Everything feels to wrong about being so fast.
I find arcade the only way to actually have fun at top tier. It's so dumb how people bring like an 11.0 tank and then like a tiger 2 and the whole thing is so fun.
I used to be an arcade only player. But eventually switched to rb exclusively. I think arcade def makes you a better player. You learn where people go and where to shoot. But it also encouraged camping Ridgelines and playing slightly safer. Because getting caught out is much more punishing, especially if everyone is hull down and third person peaking you.
It kinda is in high tier as it involve back into Low Tier Tank principle everything is relatively the same every tank can get 1 shot equally but average 'skill cap' for people in this tier is much higher
That can make sense for some people. The maps are smaller, guaranteed three spawns and vehicles are faster so the game is much more fast-paced. Armor also matters less thanks to the indicator thing.
Arcade gives a huge advantage to heavy tanks/tank destroyers because it makes it so flanking the enemy or being undetected is much harder if not impossible. Also way less planes and no helis.
yeah arcade truly is special when youre seeking pure fun gameplay instead of sweating all the time in rb and trying to be good but ultimately not being good despite having already 10000 hours of torment and agony in this forsaken game, bruh.
I actually started grinding ground arcade. It can be fun and profitable at around 3.7 on most trees, everyone there is a noob so I can rack up 4-12 kills without an issue. The SL for that isn't bad when you compare it to ground RB with the major earning cuts.
Arcade is like watching ferrets with a cocaine habit. I played it from level 1 to level 100 before finally switching over to RB, but it was a blast in its own unique, chaotic, fast-paced way.
The community was mostly AB and SB at the beginning and even back on BOS. No one cared about that weird middle mode. When the bombers got nerfed the AB crowd ran to RB to speed up the grind, have to pay for less crews, and of course claim they've done it for realism all while avoiding SB like the plague. I respect AB and SB players. RB = Budget mode with all the pluses in arcade where you want them but none of the irritation of actually having to learn to fly of SB.
Tbh according to offical rheinmetall sources Leopard 2 series does also have 40 degree gun elevation Justin. So yea i want to see my leos with their historical accurate values.
Tier 1 rb is pain incarnate because your either playing the big 4 with decent guns all round good mobility or your playing France with their sluggish tanks which make you contemplate going to arcade
@@isaiahschoenfeld774 hahaha Japan is a different pain some of their tanks are mobile unlike France but the guns I had to bring 50 plus rounds God fucking forbid you meet a french fry I was shooting the rear of the tank and failed to pen like 5 times with their bullshit angles
too be honest, I main arcade. I somehow have a hard time playing RB, whenever I see streamers and stuff like that, they're always going off and getting kills left and right, whenever I give RB a try, I get slam hammered, I do the research on the vehicle, I know the armor angling etc, but somehow I always get crit and other stuff, but when I move to AB, I turn into a whole other tanker or pilot.
The choice between arcade and realistic ultimately boils down to what you think the "fun" part of the game is: - Searching for enemies trying to notice them before they notice you - Engaging enemies and defeating them in combat.
I'm grinding for my t80U and BVM now, once I buy them, I wanna take em to arcade just for the stock grind, cause I can't imagine playing realistic with stock 10.7
I’ve been playing war thunder for 1 year, tried many times to get into rb, never enjoyed it, even when doing decent games, but I’ve always made around 2000-3000 points generally per match in AB, and I’m just having a lot of fun in it. I prefer AB, because it’s fun, I get more xp and silver lions, and it’s fast. I don’t even have headphones for rb or mid tier tanks that are able to camp (which I hate to do) anyways.
The fact is arcade is the only reason I'm 7.3 Britain yet arcade gets bashed by some of the rb community but when you know how to play arcade it's much easier than rb
Is Arcade better to grind for modules and tanks ? Also I feel like It’s better to play that game mode with the non-stabilised Amx-30’s, because you kinda get one by default here
And technically arcade battles is better to research vehicles in then realistic battles because when you look at it when you look at the stats card the tank previously from yours it'll say 130% boost for using a proceeding vehicle and then when you look at it when you go to realistic battles it goes down to 110%. So it's better to research your vehicles and modifications in arcade then playing realistic. Realistic battles are only good for silver lines nothing else
Tbh i started in war thunder in realistic battle and had the knowledge from world of tanks weakspots and i tot they were similar... Its not 😑. Copola shots were good if you have good APHE rounds but most of the time i live and die either knowing the map layouts and enemy tank weakspots or none
Everyone shits on arcade but honestly I find it to be more fun. It's just a shame that balance for BR in arcade needs to be readjusted. Swedish for example are NOT tuned for arcade and they have so little armor... when you are in arcade it's all about being able to take a hit and most of their things can't at the BR's they are at sadly. . . but still I play swed.
Well to be honest....I usually play arcade because I'm new and my eyes are to trash for tank searching. But it becane a bit realistic. For example the turrets are much slower and the enemy always shot my engine to the hell...
I play arcade literally 90% of the time. I came from World of Tanks that's why. Personally I enjoy the pace of the game it's faster. Arcade WT is still more realistic than arcade World of Tanks.
I do feel like at higher BRs RB is probably better, but low BRs arcade all the way, this is a game anyway so many things not realistic, like making engine noises just louder, that is not realistic, graphic options, APHE not being realistic, no infantry support. Both have their place and if I want a realistic experience, I am probably gonna go simulator.
It is, in ab you can still dive with dead engine or trans after cooldown same with gun breach and even with destroyed gun barrel even tho it reduces accuracy by 90% and penetrtion as well, after that you can repair on cap point without repair kit researched . Only thing that kicks you from the game same as it does in RB is FPE but except that you will survive more on AB and stock grind is less anoying.
I always play arcade nevwr RB because i end up sleeping and end up getting kills just by sitting in one place until some KA player comes out hunting or some M22 sneaks up on me.
It's funny how ground AB is the *fun* gamemode, but RB is the BIG BOY mode _(a job, basically)_ meant for those who think actually enjoying a game is dumb lmao.
I age Italy Russia and Germany and German planes and a small amount of Russian planes My question is xm1 to grind USA Or cv90 tml What is more fun country and more fun grind

I was air arcade lol I was scared too play haha
same. I still enjoy playing some lowrank AB from time to time. pure braindead chaos
Same... still sticking with arcade though
One upside I like about Arcade, No heli , CAS spam 😅
I admit, at one point I was so fucking mad at all the campers in RB that I stayed in arcade from 3.7 - 6.3
I've been in countless battles in Arcade where there was nothing but waves and waves of bombers and helicopters.
Yeah the moment a heli or a fly pops up you will see least 3 or 5 GM fired at it.

Which is why I always make sure to bring my SPAAG
Both gamemodes require their own set of skills.
Realistic requires heightened sensory awareness. Arcade requires heightened reaction speed.
Scouting in Arcade requires much more skill than it does in Realistic. Aiming in Realistic requires much more skill than it does in Arcade.
One gamemode is not superior to the other.
agree
yes
Arcade requires tons of thinking about retreat because you could be surrounded fast if you get too deep (or your teammates all die at once)
Honestly true
Also push with at least 1 or 2 teammates in arcade, I find it you don’t get insta killed that way
The man has finally done it
He played arcade
I play arcade when I get pissed off, I always play air battles and I love to see everyone colliding in the headons lol
Imagine getting shit on in the forums just because you prefer a different gamemode
Moving from Arcade to Realistic was a big jump for me. You need three or four coffees to get up to speed in Arcade. Realistic lets you plan and work the map but is still killing me slowly. :P

if i play arcade in top tier i would die in the first second
Finally
Welcome
To land of chaos
I waited over a year for this video and all i have to say is thank you!
Btw I am the guy who where in the T-55 video.
Ngl been playing for years and still always play arcade, iv played other game modes but just prefer the more fast passed chaos
Arcade is like watching ferrets with a cocaine habit.
I played it from level 1 to level 100 before finally switching over to RB, but it was a blast in its own unique, chaotic, fast-paced way.
You know it's a great game when you have to beg it and its players to let you have fun.

justin pls do a video on the m48a2 g a2, people barely make videos on the thing
Arcade is like when You need a break from “sweating” in realistic battles driving much faster and having broken maneuverability
Arcade is fast paced, needs good strategy and more fun. In Realistic one dude can flank, camp and mop up your whole team
Good strategy? Or kill them b4 they kill me.
I wouldn't be surprised if Arcade is the silent majority amongst the communities playerbase (It would make sense considering how Gaijin treats it).
I used to play arcade a lot in t10 maus times, but then when abrams and t72's came out i switched to RB but still I enjoy returning to those times :)
Tbh according to offical rheinmetall sources Leopard 2 series does also have 40 degree gun elevation Justin.

arcade is the most fun because not every match gets helis. and even if it does they arent up 100% of the time

The only thing that you didn't see in arcade is planes. In lower tiers, it get really nuuuuts. and you can get them for free.

Fax event grind ab supiriority assemble
