Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the eighth edition of the thunder Buddies podcast,
Speaker 1: where I'm here with my favorite professional projector, Gail, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you about two new vehicles coming into
Speaker 1: the game as well last yearing some of our most
Speaker 1: fun experiences we've been having recently that honestly, I think
Speaker 1: it's good to take a step back and go can
Speaker 1: war Thunder be fun? And we're gonna tell you how
Speaker 1: we've had fun. Lady, how you doing?
Speaker 2: Gail? You suck man, you suck. I was like today,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep my composure. Nothing you do is gonna
Speaker 2: get to me. It's not gonna mess with me at all.
Speaker 2: And then you tried extra hard. Come on in profession. Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: how we doing. Thank guys for listening. Welcome to episode
Speaker 2: eight of the thunder Buddies. Thank you guys for being
Speaker 2: here once again for another week. Thank you guys for
Speaker 2: hanging out. I think we're starting to get excited. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of dev blogs coming out and a lot
Speaker 2: of cool things that we're gonna talk about today. We
Speaker 2: have a big update coming out in the next potentially
Speaker 2: three weeks, so we'll start seeing a lot of cool
Speaker 2: stuff and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So this will also be like the first episode and
Speaker 1: I think like a month where we won't even mention Nabel.
Speaker 1: Besides the fact that I just said the word neighbors
Speaker 1: content in this episode.
Speaker 2: Either nobody said about that riff just saying no one,
Speaker 2: no one's upset it is, you know, trouble. Is that
Speaker 2: what you're talking about? What's that from the Holy Boomer reference?
Speaker 3: Okay, something from a long time.
Speaker 2: I don't even known.
Speaker 1: I think it was one of those old you remember,
Speaker 1: the old like Disney movies of like Robin.
Speaker 3: Hood and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, they were like they were like animated foxes. It
Speaker 1: wasn't Robin Hood. It was like a fox.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something like that. But I feel like I
Speaker 3: remember from my childhood.
Speaker 2: Okay, as long as it's not like the Song of
Speaker 2: the South or something, we'll be okay. I don't know
Speaker 2: where we were going with that. That's an animated Disney movie.
Speaker 1: The fact that you jumped straight to that comment section,
Speaker 1: let me know if it's not about Gail Well the
Speaker 1: new vehicle comeing in.
Speaker 3: It's an air vehicle. This one.
Speaker 1: Actually, you were talking about it before we started the
Speaker 1: recording of how originally it was planned for the Welcome
Speaker 1: to have a premium variant, but one that is coming
Speaker 1: in a new twin engine high altitude fighter with a
Speaker 1: lot of cannons to be honest for the br that
Speaker 1: it's going to be a but a high altitude British fighter.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the Westland Welkin and did have
Speaker 1: premium version. This is gonna be a tech Tree version,
Speaker 1: and apparently they pulled the premium version and didn't say why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yep, I saw I saw one of my
Speaker 2: news guys talking about it and they posted on the
Speaker 2: forms that it was gonna have the Welkin f Mark
Speaker 2: one and the late version. Which it's interesting because the
Speaker 2: devlogs title still says it still says the Late in
Speaker 2: the title, but it's not in the dev blog anymore
Speaker 2: because I guess they pulled the premium version for unforeseen circumstances.
Speaker 2: They said it might come back at a future time.
Speaker 2: So interesting. But yeah, there is a new tech Tree
Speaker 2: plane coming out and it's a unique one for the
Speaker 2: British and I think a lot of British people feel
Speaker 2: a little bit left out sometimes, so I think Rev
Speaker 2: is more excited about this plane than I am, so
Speaker 2: I'll let him run about. Well, it's about but it
Speaker 2: looks all right to me.
Speaker 1: I will say Number one, it's coming to the era
Speaker 1: of the game that I'm always the most passionate about props.
Speaker 1: Right if you're a jet guy, does nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who enjoy jets. I just
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed the prop era of war Thunder, and
Speaker 1: that's where it's getting thrown in. It has the same
Speaker 1: four to twenty milimeter cannons as the Whirlwind does. For
Speaker 1: twenty millimeters cannons that anything at this br range is
Speaker 1: very good firepower, so it's got great firepower. The drawback
Speaker 1: to this is that it's got a seventy foot wingspan.
Speaker 1: This thing is made for high altitude flying. If you're
Speaker 1: down at two hundred feet you're trying to make some
Speaker 1: dogfight turns, good luck, you're either ripping the wings off
Speaker 1: or you're getting shot down. Yeah, there is a play
Speaker 1: style that I think this really fits in.
Speaker 3: I would argue it's a very niche play style, but
Speaker 3: it's still exciting.
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm into this a lot is Number one,
Speaker 1: for the size of the plane.
Speaker 3: You got a lot of rounds.
Speaker 1: It's almost six hundred and twenty milimeters rounds, which for
Speaker 1: you air.
Speaker 3: RB guys can be big because that's not a lot
Speaker 3: of having to reload and reland.
Speaker 1: And also just the fact that it's different stylistically to
Speaker 1: what you're used to. Again, this is a high altitude
Speaker 1: style bomber made to go thirty five forty up to
Speaker 1: forty four thousand feet.
Speaker 3: How often do those.
Speaker 1: Scenarios come up in war Thunder really depends on what
Speaker 1: you're playing.
Speaker 3: But I think the main key that I get excited
Speaker 3: about is this isn't a copy and paste.
Speaker 1: People said, hey, we don't like the battle Pass Spitfire
Speaker 1: because it's a copy paste.
Speaker 3: Well, you have a unique.
Speaker 1: Style plane for the British Tree now that you can
Speaker 1: chase after and play and explore. That will be a
Speaker 1: different experience from other things in the British Tree.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, I agree. I think it's unique. I
Speaker 2: think the best way to compare it if you've played
Speaker 2: the British Tree before is it's gonna be kind of
Speaker 2: like the Hornet, but even more a tune for higher altitude.
Speaker 2: So what I what I'm imagining is kind of like
Speaker 2: those later fock wolves. The dog knows fock wolves, but
Speaker 2: the but the ta, it'd be like moving the fock
Speaker 2: wolf to the TA would be kind of be like
Speaker 2: moving the hornet to the welkin. So yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: high altitude good for intercepting. Not great for maneuvering, especially
Speaker 2: low outtude, but high altitude if you like intercepting bombers,
Speaker 2: if you like being that play style where you're high
Speaker 2: in the out, you're high and like high altitude, and
Speaker 2: you want to use those frontal twenty mills that really
Speaker 2: bring people pressure. And I think it'll be good. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm interested to try it. I like props
Speaker 2: a lot, the British props I've always slightly enjoyed, but
Speaker 2: I don't never love the spitfires. So I like the
Speaker 2: hornet a lot. So I'm more excited than I think you.
Speaker 2: You think I'm putting off, But it's all right, I'm
Speaker 2: why are.
Speaker 3: You projected on me?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Rams more excited and then like, oh now it's my fault.
Speaker 3: You're not excited. What the hell, man, do you like
Speaker 3: the welkin or not?
Speaker 2: It's alright, it's all right.
Speaker 3: It's the reason.
Speaker 2: It's one of the first week of dead blogs. Okay,
Speaker 2: because they know it's not the most exciting aircraft, you know,
Speaker 2: like it is what it is.
Speaker 1: This is the type of meat and potatoes vehicle that
Speaker 1: I think makes warth under fund though, right. This is
Speaker 1: the type of vehicle that if you have enough of
Speaker 1: these Joe Bob over there and Billy Sue over.
Speaker 3: There, they love this. Right, And this does have to
Speaker 3: be clear.
Speaker 1: This isn't just like if your dogfighter has no purpose
Speaker 1: with almost any twin engine aircraft, which the Welkin is,
Speaker 1: but this one in particular have an advantage, is going
Speaker 1: to have much better early battle climb rate. Right, So
Speaker 1: you get up top, so you talk about can it
Speaker 1: fight the fighters? Yes, in that early portion of the
Speaker 1: game where you can get to fifteen twenty thousand feet
Speaker 1: way before they can. Yeah, you don't have massive, massive
Speaker 1: frontal armament in combination with way more potential energy stored
Speaker 1: up because you've got way more out through them, you
Speaker 1: can do a lot with this.
Speaker 3: It's is gonna come down to playing that type of
Speaker 3: play style.
Speaker 1: If you are someone who is just really used to
Speaker 1: a six you know, zeros and spit fires, you're doing
Speaker 1: low turn rate dog fights. I guess my rate dog
Speaker 1: fights at low altitudes. Yeah, this could be a very
Speaker 1: different experience to you. But that doesn't mean it's useless either.
Speaker 1: There are ways that this could be a very fun,
Speaker 1: very effective plane. And I expect to do this when
Speaker 1: I'm deciding to go chase those B twenty six's and
Speaker 1: AM two six four's and I want to go bomber hunting.
Speaker 3: This could be a really nice addition to that. And again,
Speaker 3: like you said to the British.
Speaker 2: Tree, yeah, yeah, I we'll see how it is. I
Speaker 2: we'll see when the stats actually come out, how it'll
Speaker 2: be climb rate wise. If if it has some of
Speaker 2: the best climb rate at this br I think it'll
Speaker 2: be it'll be a lot of fun to use. So
Speaker 2: we'll see. We don't know enough about it yet. Just
Speaker 2: a simple dev blog from guidgen this week, just in
Speaker 2: their in their schedule of deav blogs talking about what's coming.
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's just it is.
Speaker 1: Worth noting that they said that the speed and things
Speaker 1: like that and the turn rate are not good, but.
Speaker 3: They they did take the note.
Speaker 1: That it has their quote impressive climb rate, which historically
Speaker 1: translates in war thunder to it being in.
Speaker 3: The upper echelog of that category.
Speaker 2: But maybe not.
Speaker 3: So Yeah, it's I don't think it's going to be
Speaker 3: the best, Like.
Speaker 1: Well number one, Why don't think it's gonna be the
Speaker 1: best because they took the premium out, because if we're
Speaker 1: gonna put the best anything, they're going to try to
Speaker 1: sell it right, So I still think.
Speaker 2: It's weird. I don't know what the difference was because
Speaker 2: I I quickly skimmed the dev blog when it first
Speaker 2: came out, so I don't actually know what the premium
Speaker 2: was different than the tech Tree one. But it's interesting
Speaker 2: that they're adding the tech Tree but they pulled the
Speaker 2: premium for the updates, so who knows what the premium
Speaker 2: was different and why they pulled it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could just be.
Speaker 2: Economics with Guigen. They might just have decided that the
Speaker 2: British didn't need another premium right now and they wanted
Speaker 2: to save it for a later date or something. I
Speaker 2: don't know, but there you go. There's there's your another
Speaker 2: new vehicle coming in the major update and it's not
Speaker 2: a boat. Thank god. We actually got some insight into
Speaker 2: something else that was coming out, so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 2: I will see how it goes.
Speaker 1: I told everybody, like, get through and the boats will
Speaker 1: start to dry up? Am I so impatient? In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, can you people calm down? Like, give us
Speaker 1: few boat people thirty days to have a freaking boat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my Atlanta. Good news.
Speaker 1: By the way, if y'all are here, if you do
Speaker 1: want to spend money, you're just in here, like well,
Speaker 1: damn it.
Speaker 3: I wanted a.
Speaker 1: Premium welcome stay towards the end of this show. We
Speaker 1: got a premium for you to buy don't worry, just
Speaker 1: coming out soon.
Speaker 2: And and one quick, very small thing for all my
Speaker 2: top tier airb players if you didn't catch it this week.
Speaker 2: They also made it so there was a there's a
Speaker 2: meadow right now and top tier where no one really
Speaker 2: knows how to notch or BVR, so that the there
Speaker 2: was all these tiktoks going around about just shoot down
Speaker 2: the enemy missiles. We were hoping they would fix that.
Speaker 2: They didn't necessarily fix it, but they did make it
Speaker 2: so if you fired your Fox ones or Fox threes
Speaker 2: on an enemy air it will not proxy on a
Speaker 2: target smart smaller than an aircraft, so it doesn't really
Speaker 2: change anything. All that someone can still fire their missile
Speaker 2: at your missile because if you fire a missile on
Speaker 2: a missile, then the filter is looking for a small target.
Speaker 2: So it didn't really fix anything, but it does seem
Speaker 2: like there's a trend to guideen. They've been actively shooting
Speaker 2: down these like unplanned metas that have been coming out recently,
Speaker 2: so it seems like they might be pushing towards that
Speaker 2: meta to be removed. But it's a first step. You
Speaker 2: might notice that your missile doesn't get hit by as
Speaker 2: many missiles now, so it is what it is, you know.
Speaker 1: On that topic, I'm particularly curious of how these type
Speaker 1: of changes will affect and this is just pure conjectured
Speaker 1: time lazy and gentlemen, welcome to to the conjecture segment,
Speaker 1: but we know that they're working on it won't do eventually,
Speaker 1: get too stealth.
Speaker 3: Aircraft with JIM fighters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, out of updates like this end up affecting things
Speaker 1: like that, talking about those having extremely small signatures for
Speaker 1: radar and everything. And will these be the type of
Speaker 1: decisions they have to reverse or change again or are
Speaker 1: they purposely planning long term for these type of things.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious because to my knowledge they're still going. Obviously,
Speaker 1: infantry being the focus that is absolutely still right there
Speaker 1: being worked on on the table, is working towards fifth
Speaker 1: gen fighters.
Speaker 2: So I actually didn't even think of it like that,
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right, that's a really good point. That's
Speaker 2: why I keep you around. RIV. Everyone thinks of this, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're firing on a plane size signature. It won't detonate
Speaker 2: on anything smaller than that now, But yeah, you're right,
Speaker 2: if they add fifth gen or they add stealth fighters
Speaker 2: like they plan to. Sealth fighters have a smaller radar
Speaker 2: signature than like an AIM one twenty does, so will
Speaker 2: it detonate on us? Will always just sail right past
Speaker 2: a stell? And well, I don't know. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know a lot about this is what stealthy.
Speaker 3: Questions, Like, how are they going to get the math.
Speaker 2: Right exactly exactly?
Speaker 3: You jump going from worth gen to fifth gen on exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like if you fire on a fifth gen
Speaker 2: that has its bomb base open and the signature is huge,
Speaker 2: but then they close their bombbays, it's still tracking a
Speaker 2: tiny ass like signature. Is it gonna go off? I
Speaker 2: have no idea, And that's you know, I stand by
Speaker 2: my point. I've been saying this for two years. If
Speaker 2: they add self fighters, I think it's gonna be hardly broken.
Speaker 2: That's my opinion about that. But interesting, it's an interesting thought.
Speaker 2: They might have to reverse this change eventually.
Speaker 1: I always definitely prefer to err on the side of positivity,
Speaker 1: but I will agree with you that the scale of
Speaker 1: going to Gen five when it comes to aircraft is
Speaker 1: not like going from Gen three to Gen four for aircraft.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a totally different way of how they're approaching.
Speaker 1: You know, when you went to the early gens, you
Speaker 1: can look, you can tell what they were focused on,
Speaker 1: and for the most part, they were focused on all right,
Speaker 1: well we want to go first one to mock too,
Speaker 1: who could have the fastest jet out there?
Speaker 3: And things like that, and that structure has changed a lot.
Speaker 1: And could argue that, you know, Gen four and Gen
Speaker 1: four point five, and people have had this argument the
Speaker 1: war under community. Should they stick to just that because
Speaker 1: going to that fifth gen adds so much complexity. At
Speaker 1: the same time, as somebody who likes exploring things, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind giving it a try, but it's it's absolutely
Speaker 1: something I understand. Everybody out there being worried they're going
Speaker 1: to screw it up because.
Speaker 3: It is complex.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that. I agree with that. It's we'll see.
Speaker 2: Only time will tell. I guess when it comes.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to say that the Felon and
Speaker 1: the Raptor have the same you know, radio center and stuff,
Speaker 1: and they performed the same go ahead guide and make
Speaker 1: my days. See how much anti communists propaganda and do.
Speaker 2: That we're too close to the Fourth of July. You're said
Speaker 2: communists people might actually believe you. It's nuts.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm ready for the Fourth of July.
Speaker 1: In the years of being the best, I'm ready for
Speaker 1: all of our non American fans.
Speaker 3: And well we've made it to the eye Roll Ports
Speaker 3: another show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Reff, we know what your favorite thing is
Speaker 2: about America. Now tell me what your favorite thing has
Speaker 2: been recently on your stream. What have you done recently?
Speaker 2: Rev that that that really wets your whistle? And tell
Speaker 2: me something to talk. Let's just break from the news something.
Speaker 2: Just give me something to give me something other than
Speaker 2: talking about the fourth of July right now, please.
Speaker 1: But besides the fourth of July, Well, we wanted to
Speaker 1: do this segment because I think it's important for everybody
Speaker 1: to remember that.
Speaker 3: At the key.
Speaker 1: And this might sound simplicitic, but this is a game
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be fun and one thing that
Speaker 1: you know, not just to self promote, but partially to
Speaker 1: self promote. I hope other creators like this. We genuinely
Speaker 1: enjoy the game. We have some really fun moments, you know.
Speaker 1: For me, it's not even the games where like I
Speaker 1: perform necessarily very well. Right, you know, the best match
Speaker 1: I've had in the past month, I did a match
Speaker 1: and again very rare for this to happen, but had
Speaker 1: a match where I got over twenty kills, no deaths.
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here on my high horse. That did great.
Speaker 1: Of course, the next match I go like three kills,
Speaker 1: six death type deal.
Speaker 3: But those aren't the ones that are the most fun
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: For me, we recently had a streak of best squad wins.
Speaker 1: My favorite wager in the game is the best squad.
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind that if you're listening, one of
Speaker 1: the reasons to hang out with people like me and
Speaker 1: Gail and anybody else in a squadron is because I
Speaker 1: do believe for Silver Lion purposes, the best Squad wager
Speaker 1: is the best wager in the game and the easiest
Speaker 1: one to complete. Just get three of your buddies, and
Speaker 1: if y'all are even halfway decent at the game, y'all
Speaker 1: are gonna get best squad every time. Because almost nobody
Speaker 1: runs four players deep, it's very rare, so your ability
Speaker 1: to get that high score is simply quite easy in
Speaker 1: almost any game mode, whether it be air ground. You
Speaker 1: having a good four person squad of even halfway you know.
Speaker 3: Experienced players almost guarantees you get that wager.
Speaker 1: But we had a run over the past few months
Speaker 1: where I didn't have a single wager fail. For those
Speaker 1: who don't know how the wager works, the goal is
Speaker 1: to get ten straight or ten total best squad wins
Speaker 1: or losses. You got to finish this best squad and
Speaker 1: you get I think three mulligans, as in, if you
Speaker 1: don't get it three times or if.
Speaker 3: You don't get it twice, you can keep it going.
Speaker 1: But the goal is to get ten and the payout
Speaker 1: will be based on how much you bet, So if
Speaker 1: you do like a ten thousand silver lion bet, I
Speaker 1: think the max payout is two hundred and fifty silver lions.
Speaker 3: For you achieving all ten.
Speaker 1: And we had this streak where don't matter if we're
Speaker 1: doing ground, we would switch to air and we just
Speaker 1: kept nabbing it, man, and everybody was just getting these payouts,
Speaker 1: and we're having fun because you make these huge hits.
Speaker 1: You're like, I can actually afford those gamble boxes that
Speaker 1: come around and seal all my silver lions and stuff.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't an individual memory.
Speaker 1: It was just like the whole group and we would
Speaker 1: be rotating people in so on my stream, how I
Speaker 1: do it is everybody has a Q system and you
Speaker 1: do two matches and once you've done two, we Q
Speaker 1: in the next person.
Speaker 3: And the fact that.
Speaker 1: We kept managing to get these best squad wins just
Speaker 1: over and over with different people slot and the man,
Speaker 1: it was just so much fun as a community that
Speaker 1: it was easy to be excited like I want to
Speaker 1: be next.
Speaker 3: I want to get in there and you know, be part.
Speaker 1: Of that wager and do stuff like that, and it
Speaker 1: ends up kind of you know, trickling down to other
Speaker 1: groups now, like and I know you've had a similar
Speaker 1: experience where it will just be your group before. Now
Speaker 1: you'll have your other friends who have a group before
Speaker 1: they're trying to do the same thing at the same time, and.
Speaker 3: Those little moments don't seem like.
Speaker 1: A lot, but when you're experienced with your people, it
Speaker 1: is so much fun to be going through those.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean two hundred and fifty thousand sl
Speaker 2: for pretty much just playing the game is it's nice,
Speaker 2: especially if you're just starting off. Yeah, there's another streamer
Speaker 2: who does that's pretty much his whole focus as doing
Speaker 2: Arcade Best Squad. He actually holds the record for the
Speaker 2: most best squad medals in a single game, and it
Speaker 2: was something obscene, like two hundred or something. It was
Speaker 2: something nuts and it was Bearsden. He does that all
Speaker 2: the time, and that's it reminded me of that the
Speaker 2: whole time every I mean, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Why like going to bears channel because he's very much
Speaker 1: engaging yeah people there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's all about squad play. It's super cool.
Speaker 2: I really think that I always play with a squad
Speaker 2: in the stream, but we never actually like chase best
Speaker 2: squad wages or anything like that because usually usually it's
Speaker 2: not that easy to do in realistic because a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff can happen to realistic that would stop you,
Speaker 2: But I mean a best squad wage.
Speaker 3: Actually air realistic where you get one.
Speaker 2: Play, yeah, exactly and essentially two people get and it's rude. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you guys don't know how the best squad wager
Speaker 2: it works. You really don't have to really do anything
Speaker 2: except get points while being adjacent to your buddies. Like,
Speaker 2: just stay next to your buddies and you'll you'll get
Speaker 2: best squad.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you've got best squad. We've got that best
Speaker 3: squad wager. You're completed.
Speaker 1: When we went out and did a bomber setup, like
Speaker 1: all of us ran out like B twenty five six school,
Speaker 1: So like you don't even have to do dog fighting
Speaker 1: because believe not bombing and it's indiary.
Speaker 3: Bombs will score you a lot of points as well,
Speaker 3: So it gives.
Speaker 1: You an opportunity to earn what is the most important
Speaker 1: singular currency in the game, the silver lions, while also
Speaker 1: allowing you say, if I have a bad game, well,
Speaker 1: Gail makes up for it because we're all together, right,
Speaker 1: So if you're one of those people like man I
Speaker 1: all have a stretch of games where like six of
Speaker 1: them terrible, it doesn't matter if one person has a
Speaker 1: terrible stretch because we all come together, we all score together,
Speaker 1: and that's again, I really enjoy that aspect of war thunder.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair. Yeah, that's sick. And that brings me
Speaker 2: into one of my favorite things we've done recently and
Speaker 2: what we do a lot of interesting things, but the
Speaker 2: biggest event that we've done recently that really that was
Speaker 2: really interesting that same way was during my during one
Speaker 2: of my last sabbathons at New Year's we did a
Speaker 2: really big thing. Well two, we did two things. One
Speaker 2: of them was we wanted to like we will to
Speaker 2: use the stuka like the stuka was intended. So yeah,
Speaker 2: we uh I put I told everyone in chat, hey,
Speaker 2: if you want to try to do this, put this
Speaker 2: stuka on and put this tank on or these tanks
Speaker 2: on at this br and we'll all just go North
Speaker 2: American servers and we'll all get into the same game.
Speaker 2: And I gave everybody a countdown, and I think we
Speaker 2: got eleven people from the from the stream out of
Speaker 2: sixteen on our team, so only five people on our
Speaker 2: team for a ground r B game. We didn't know
Speaker 2: eleven out of our sixteen were from our stream, and
Speaker 2: we all had low tier Germany with the low tier
Speaker 2: Jericho Sirens stuka and we got a bunch of points.
Speaker 2: We waited like ten minutes into the match until everybody,
Speaker 2: like I had a mod saying how many people out
Speaker 2: of the eleven or whatever had said that they were
Speaker 2: ready for their stuka, and we just kept playing until
Speaker 2: everyone had their stuka. I think only one person didn't
Speaker 2: get their stuka, and we all spawned in stukas at
Speaker 2: the exact same time, and we all turned our smoke
Speaker 2: on and we flew in and we just all inverted
Speaker 2: in and dove and there was like ten or eleven
Speaker 2: Jericho Sirens stukas just screaming down and we carpet bombed
Speaker 2: the whole map with stukas, and some people brought multiple bombs,
Speaker 2: so it went on for like five minutes of someone
Speaker 2: dropping their bomb, pulling up, coming back around, and everyone
Speaker 2: had their smoke on. It was an absolute disaster. I've
Speaker 2: uploaded a.
Speaker 1: Clip imagine of the opposite team begun with ten or
Speaker 1: eleven of y'all all going out, there's now nobody to
Speaker 1: fight and you're just dropping.
Speaker 2: You're like bomb, You're like, where is everybody? Dude? Because
Speaker 2: of the five people that were in the game. I imagine
Speaker 2: most of them had left by that point, so it's
Speaker 2: like everyone just vanished. Everyone jade out. They saw like
Speaker 2: seven people jay out and they're like, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Why did they hold in me? Team? Just leave? And
Speaker 2: then like two minutes past and you just start hearing
Speaker 2: the sirens. It'd be it'd be like that meme and this.
Speaker 3: Is actually war Thunder.
Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all so much because the amount of bandwidth
Speaker 1: y'all must need for this is insane. The fact that
Speaker 1: y'all allow us to have recordings of all those matches
Speaker 1: ready for us to save if we will. Yeah, awesome,
Speaker 1: that's one that should have been saved and like put
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Yeah, because that truly was an epic moment
Speaker 1: of just like ten eleven stukas at one time, and
Speaker 1: in particular with the the siren.
Speaker 2: Going, yeah, oh yes it was. It was effective too.
Speaker 2: What is the guy who's the guy who plays the
Speaker 2: Green Goblin and the Old Spider Man movies? We do
Speaker 2: you know? You're old? You might know his name?
Speaker 3: Actors name?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The actor's name, yeah, what do you know? His name?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 3: William Dafoe.
Speaker 2: William Dafoe, Yeah, yeah, I'm imagining the William Dafoe meme
Speaker 2: the gift where he's just staring up at the sky
Speaker 2: like terrified. That's why I imagine the enemy team was.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we ended up winning that game,
Speaker 2: but it was worth it was worth the meme.
Speaker 1: But that's that probably the old negatives. Was it a
Speaker 1: was it a domination capture three points game?
Speaker 3: Because you can't capture nothing if.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the same.
Speaker 3: Time, Like, that's a that's a solid trade off.
Speaker 2: Absolute.
Speaker 1: We'll have to have a conversation one day of what
Speaker 1: do you, as in like the community, care more about.
Speaker 3: Do you care more about your.
Speaker 1: Kill death ratio or the wind loss ratio? Because that's
Speaker 1: absolutely a match where you say, screw the wind loss.
Speaker 1: We're here for fun and you get as much as
Speaker 1: done as you can.
Speaker 2: I'm one of the people who I don't care about
Speaker 2: my win loss or my kdie. I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: care at all. I would just prefer to not like,
Speaker 2: just grind and enjoy my time. That's all I really
Speaker 2: care about. I don't.
Speaker 1: That's such a loser mentality as what losers say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then right after that we did another one
Speaker 2: where we all brought in that French World War One
Speaker 2: bomber so that they added during the World War One
Speaker 2: event last year. Except if you don't know this war
Speaker 2: thunder kind of has a thing where you can only
Speaker 2: bring in four bombers on your team, four big bombers
Speaker 2: like that. So we tried to snipe in all the bombers,
Speaker 2: but it didn't work. So we had a squad of
Speaker 2: four of us in the World War one bomber, and
Speaker 2: then we had like eight people. It was almost the
Speaker 2: whole team as well, but they were in whatever the
Speaker 2: reserve British biplane is, like the Fury Mark one or
Speaker 2: something like that. So we had like an improp to
Speaker 2: World War One kind of team where we had four
Speaker 2: of our World War One bombers escorted by like a
Speaker 2: metric ass load of these biplanes, and these guys were
Speaker 2: diving on us in like the early BF one on
Speaker 2: nines and stuff, and it was just chaos because they
Speaker 2: couldn't even out turn the bomber because it's just a
Speaker 2: it's made out of wooding canvas.
Speaker 3: Like things like the AT fifty one and everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a fantastic Like that's one reason I love going
Speaker 1: back down to like baby planes, because you get down
Speaker 1: there and you can make like a three sixty turn
Speaker 1: in two seconds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: The speeds are slow, you've got enough to actually generate
Speaker 1: lyft and stay up, but you can turn on a dime.
Speaker 3: And everybody's shooting these peace shooters just like.
Speaker 1: Every plane has amazing handling, except they all have got
Speaker 1: like twenty two R guns on them.
Speaker 3: You got on like three thousand rounds and take anybody down.
Speaker 2: I was so much fun. I remember a moment where
Speaker 2: we're flying at like one hundred feet because we didn't
Speaker 2: have we didn't have the horsepower to climb back up.
Speaker 2: We had done our bombing run and we had all
Speaker 2: turned around to go back home, and we're flying at
Speaker 2: like one hundred feet, and I had his buddy next
Speaker 2: to me, who was flying like wingtip the wingtip in
Speaker 2: these World War One bombers. And a plane comes in
Speaker 2: from above us, and our poor single gunner on the
Speaker 2: nose with this single thirty cow was trying to shoot
Speaker 2: this guy down. And I look over at him, I'm like,
Speaker 2: get him. My gunner's dead or something, and then I
Speaker 2: just see the enemy plane just fly straight through him,
Speaker 2: just boom just takes out my teammate twenty feet off
Speaker 2: my wingtip just annihilates him. And then the plane came
Speaker 2: back for me and he like pulled up behind me
Speaker 2: to get shot on me and my single thirty guy,
Speaker 2: my thirty cow guy in the back pilot sniped the
Speaker 2: enemy plane like it was. It was great. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: moments like that's what makes warth underwarth Under, you know,
Speaker 2: like like that that's awes woar.
Speaker 3: Thunder has so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's easy for us to get into, like the the
Speaker 1: very true and nuanced conversations of the problems that the
Speaker 1: game has, but.
Speaker 3: It's still has so many of those quality moments that
Speaker 3: we can develop for ourselves.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, that's to me
Speaker 1: what I quantify as a good MMO. Can me, you
Speaker 1: and few others lo again right now and have a
Speaker 1: good time problems aside which all problems to be fixed.
Speaker 1: I hope nobody ever looks at this podcast goes, well,
Speaker 1: there's shells. They just love guides.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's but at the same time, there's value in finding
Speaker 1: the fun in a game because and it's not just
Speaker 1: this game, but for me being a content creator, professionally
Speaker 1: for several years now.
Speaker 3: I've noticed is all.
Speaker 1: These different games you'll go to, there's so many people
Speaker 1: who just aren't having fun, Like they might legitimately enjoy
Speaker 1: the concept of the game, but they've gotten so frustrated
Speaker 1: from it. I think it's important trying to draw people back, like, hey,
Speaker 1: why did you fall in love with war Thunder?
Speaker 3: And how can we get you there? Do you enjoy
Speaker 3: it again?
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing worse than playing a game but being
Speaker 1: miserable while you play it.
Speaker 3: And I've watched so many streamers do that.
Speaker 1: Like just slog through warth on you like you're clearly
Speaker 1: hating what you're doing right now.
Speaker 3: You gotta have those moments of timestimes.
Speaker 1: All you need to do is hear an example of
Speaker 1: you know, like gail Or rev and you can go
Speaker 1: replicate that yourself and be like.
Speaker 3: Man, I had a blast.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got out of You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm just normally grinding on because I'll tell you one
Speaker 1: thing about war th Under. You want something that I'll
Speaker 1: suck the life of you, do just the grind, Like
Speaker 1: make that your goal. Where all I'm gonna do is grind. Man,
Speaker 1: that takes the fun out of the game so much
Speaker 1: for me personally.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, So it's good to.
Speaker 1: Have these moments and know that if I change it up, man,
Speaker 1: I can I can get real excited again about the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's a good lesson. Yeuh, because I
Speaker 2: mean I was just expressing how before we started to podcast,
Speaker 2: how much I've felt even burnt out of warth on
Speaker 2: there recently, and it's it's exactly that. It's like I've
Speaker 2: been looking at the wrong way, you know, like when
Speaker 2: you when you see that when you sit out there
Speaker 2: and you play worth on there every day, even if
Speaker 2: you're not making content on it. For me, I finished
Speaker 2: every plane in the game again on Sunday or Sunday,
Speaker 2: every plane. I have every single one again, and I've
Speaker 2: got to the point where I don't even fly planes anymore,
Speaker 2: which is what I used to do all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying.
Speaker 3: To do.
Speaker 2: And I'm just trying to grind out the tanks, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I don't hate tanks. I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't mind it. You know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're exactly right. I think sometimes that's that's
Speaker 2: kind of issue with how worth Under is structured. It's
Speaker 2: like there is an infinite amount of stuff that you
Speaker 2: can do. But at the end of the day, the
Speaker 2: purpose of the game is to grind. And I think
Speaker 2: if you let the grind, like, if that's your sole focus,
Speaker 2: you're gonna find yourself really burn out. And sometimes you
Speaker 2: just got to take a couple of mental days just
Speaker 2: to do whatever you actually want to do and actually
Speaker 2: like just get your buddies on, or just even if
Speaker 2: you're playing by yourself, just go play something that you
Speaker 2: find fun. You know, even if you get nothing done,
Speaker 2: just go do what you enjoy.
Speaker 3: Sameless self plug.
Speaker 1: But between me and Gail, I think we stream every
Speaker 1: day but one day a week just between the two
Speaker 1: of us, and then you've got our only Snails group,
Speaker 1: which is a whole group of streamers of war Thunder.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying is we can find you somebody,
Speaker 1: like if you're out there like, well it's just me
Speaker 1: Rev and Gale.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to play with me, Okay, cool, we'll play
Speaker 3: with you. Right, there's probably a reason nobody wants to
Speaker 3: play with you. But you know what, I'll play with you.
Speaker 3: Come out, calm up, bluff, come do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we can find you somebody for sure.
Speaker 2: If you don't have anyone to play with and you're
Speaker 2: listening to this podcast, oh we can find you somebody.
Speaker 2: I got one hundred and fifty streamers with all their
Speaker 2: viewers will find you somebody to play with for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that definitely helps a lot. Playing worth under
Speaker 2: alone unless you have a good Netflix show to put
Speaker 2: on or something, can be really dreadful sometimes. Yet I
Speaker 2: understand that for sure, and like you said.
Speaker 1: Especially if you get caught in that grind mentality, which
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Like
Speaker 1: for me when I when I first got into the
Speaker 1: airside of this game, my favorite World War two jet
Speaker 1: or World War two.
Speaker 3: Playing period is the measuresment two sixty two.
Speaker 1: And while that in me two two might not be
Speaker 1: the best best playing in war Thunder, because it's.
Speaker 3: Not, it was still a big goal for me. It
Speaker 3: was fun.
Speaker 1: But even during that grind, it's you know how many
Speaker 1: times you have to play it BF one or nine,
Speaker 1: how many times? You know, it's good to break up
Speaker 1: the monotony, do something just a little bit different, And
Speaker 1: even for me recently, that's just been you know what,
Speaker 1: heck it, let's just go jump over to the British
Speaker 1: faction I've talked so much trash about and play it
Speaker 1: to have a different experience and you might find you
Speaker 1: like something, right. And I found out through that that
Speaker 1: because early on in Ground, I just really to a
Speaker 1: degree trashed the British stuff because the shots are terrible,
Speaker 1: the actual AMMO that is early shot is bad.
Speaker 3: Until I found instances where.
Speaker 1: I'm like, really really would like to play British, which
Speaker 1: is every time a daily task says you need to
Speaker 1: get a critical I immediately go guess where I'm playing
Speaker 1: it out right, So like those opportunities can sometimes end
Speaker 1: up becoming that pathway you needed to find something in
Speaker 1: the game you.
Speaker 3: Didn't know, right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's good to try things out and just
Speaker 1: focus on the fun.
Speaker 3: You'll be surprised when it opens up for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Yeah, one hundred pcent agree with that.
Speaker 2: And I think it is that time of the year
Speaker 2: where everyone is super super busy. We got people graduating
Speaker 2: whatever they're doing, you know, people graduating high school, college,
Speaker 2: people just you know, finishing their school year. We got people,
Speaker 2: you know, the busiest time of the year for most
Speaker 2: businesses is early summer. So is that time of the
Speaker 2: year where and also warth Under isn't really coming out
Speaker 2: with major updates that really get people going and bring
Speaker 2: you back right now, at least it's not more important
Speaker 2: than some people's real life things going on. So it
Speaker 2: is that time of the year where it's very easy
Speaker 2: to well, I need to get on and play warth
Speaker 2: Under because I have premium and I don't want to
Speaker 2: waste my money because I bought premium during the premium sale,
Speaker 2: you know. And I'm just getting on and I'm grinding,
Speaker 2: and they're doing esports tournaments every freaking week, and you know,
Speaker 2: everyone's trying extra hard because they think it's that's the
Speaker 2: only way to play worth Under is to be sweaty.
Speaker 2: And then now it makes especially if you lay on
Speaker 2: the weekends like I do. Like all the people are on.
Speaker 2: Everyone's trying to get as much grinding as they've done
Speaker 2: can done, and it's very easy to get burnt out
Speaker 2: right now. And I think it's it's nice to remember
Speaker 2: that this game has been going for nearly a decade
Speaker 2: and a half. If you take a week off your
Speaker 2: grind to go enjoy yourself you know, put the grind down,
Speaker 2: do what you enjoy. It's not gonna hurt anything. The
Speaker 2: game is not going anywhere. There are always gonna be
Speaker 2: people that are at your pr It's not like you're
Speaker 2: gonna get left behind, you know. So I agree with
Speaker 2: that completely. Yeah, take your time, enjoy the game. Do
Speaker 2: do interesting things with your buddies, do cool wagers, you know,
Speaker 2: challenge yourself to do interesting stuff. You know, put the
Speaker 2: grind down every now and then. It's I think that's
Speaker 2: a good good insight of the week there, John briv.
Speaker 3: And further insights. Guess what you're getting, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3: You've got to hear this. You thought the B and
Speaker 3: PD was great. You thought the Terminator dominated?
Speaker 1: Wait do you see this latest premium Puma which will
Speaker 1: not be better than I was?
Speaker 2: Like, it's like, where you're going with this?
Speaker 3: Say, where's he going with this?
Speaker 1: Hey, if you're out there and you start dominating terminators
Speaker 1: with this Puma, send us.
Speaker 2: If you guys didn't coming out, Yeah, if you guys
Speaker 2: didn't see a new dead block came out today, which
Speaker 2: is a new premium Puma, which whoop, whoop, it's a Puma.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a copy and paste. I think it's
Speaker 2: identical to the Puma that's already in More Thunder. And
Speaker 2: we're talking the top tier Puma. We're not talking the
Speaker 2: six wheel or the eight wheel drive fourteen. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: talking rank eight or sorry, rank seven German Puma. It's
Speaker 2: I think it's identical copy paste than the normal Puma. However,
Speaker 2: this is going down the trend of Guidge and lately
Speaker 2: where they add copy paste vehicles, but one looks cooler.
Speaker 2: So this Puma, I don't know if it looks cooler.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, don't you start.
Speaker 2: Those.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: It's covered in palettes. It looks like you threw this
Speaker 1: thing into Mad Max for some reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's got some camo nets and canvas rags
Speaker 2: and stuff hanging on like they're dirty. Soide.
Speaker 1: But to me, you correct me if I'm wrong. This
Speaker 1: Puma is the exact same thing they did with the
Speaker 1: Tigers last year. Or they had the Tiger West and
Speaker 1: everything for Tigers with.
Speaker 3: Awesome skins, and yes I bought them. Okay, call me
Speaker 3: what you will, yeah, but that's what this is.
Speaker 1: If you've got the standard tech Tree Puma, you've got
Speaker 1: the same Puma. This is essentially a bonus cosmetic Puma
Speaker 1: that is with.
Speaker 3: It for you to purchase. You decide for yourself.
Speaker 1: It's the same thirty millimeters cannon, same coax with the
Speaker 1: five five six. I don't believe there's a difference in
Speaker 1: the armor profile. It has the same rangefinder everything.
Speaker 2: I believe it looks. Yeah, it's got toe missiles and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, but I think it's identical. Uh. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm gonna call it dirty sock Puma because
Speaker 2: the more I'm staring at it all it's got palettes
Speaker 2: just straighted. It's like you drove this thing into a
Speaker 2: Walmart warehouse and you just decided that pallettes were good armor,
Speaker 2: and you just started strapping pallets on the side and
Speaker 2: then throw a cameo net on and then all the
Speaker 2: crew just hung their dirty laundry on the side of
Speaker 2: the pallets. I don't understand what that's about. I don't
Speaker 2: even know what guid that's trying to do there, Like
Speaker 2: it's it's legit. They're they're dirty laundry hanging on the side,
Speaker 2: so it's like close it's the clothesline Puma, And I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: The theory would be, is there use a lot of
Speaker 1: these different changes, especially later stuff they're basing off the
Speaker 1: war going on in East Europe right now where they
Speaker 1: cover these vehicles with everything, simply because if you can
Speaker 1: create any level of separation between primary armor and detonation
Speaker 1: and increases survivability. Obviously you're not stopping penetration with these,
Speaker 1: but you're trying to stop, you know, anything that would
Speaker 1: set off a fuse before it actually touches the armor profile. Look,
Speaker 1: do I think it's gonna make a difference in game. No,
Speaker 1: That's why we're being honest and tell you it's a
Speaker 1: reskinned premium. But at the same time, if you play
Speaker 1: that br and you want to have multiple versions of
Speaker 1: something like this, ifb in your run, now will be
Speaker 1: your opportunity to have it. I will admit I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit of a sucker for cosmetics, but also at
Speaker 1: the same time, for me, it always comes down to
Speaker 1: price point, because if you sell me a cosmetic vehicle,
Speaker 1: which essentially what you did with like the Tigers, and
Speaker 1: you put a price point like one hundred or eighty bucks,
Speaker 1: I'm not interested. Put a price point lower, then maybe
Speaker 1: I am interested.
Speaker 3: So It's another thing. If you're a Puma fan, here
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 2: And I'm actually kind of curious if what the armor
Speaker 2: value of the palettes, if they'll have any, will be.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it'll be like the the the log
Speaker 2: armor that's on the earlier tanks, or if those pallettes
Speaker 2: are just gonna not have armor value at all, because
Speaker 2: sometimes those.
Speaker 3: Say it, don't.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're purposely leaving it out when we
Speaker 1: talk about the logs on the early tanks, talk about
Speaker 1: the logs and all the Russian tankstylenium, then nobody can debate.
Speaker 2: That's what I was trying to say nicely. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: wonder if it'll be as effective as some of those
Speaker 2: Russian logs tend to be for no reason we'll see.
Speaker 2: I doubt it, but who knows it. It does look
Speaker 2: like it has. It does have its heat shield below
Speaker 2: the pallets too, So if anything, maybe the pallets are
Speaker 2: visual armor where someone might accidentally shoot your heat shield
Speaker 2: or your heat cage that's below the palette because I
Speaker 2: can't see it. Maybe I don't know. It's interesting it
Speaker 2: does come. If you do buy this pack, just know it.
Speaker 2: If you're in the US, it's seventy dollars for a
Speaker 2: Rank seven German premium, but you also get a premium
Speaker 2: account for twenty days. You'll get twenty five hundred GOE,
Speaker 2: you'll get a unique title called the spear Our Spearhead Force,
Speaker 2: and you'll get a unique decal for the coat of
Speaker 2: arms of the Allied Joint Force Command in runsome I
Speaker 2: think that's German. I don't know, but there you go.
Speaker 2: They didn't now that it is what it is. It's
Speaker 2: another it's a copy and paste. I prefer they add
Speaker 2: premiums like this that look cool over ones that are overpowered.
Speaker 1: So you know, I would agree with that.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: That's such a difficult conversation to have because I understand, like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend money on the game, you want to
Speaker 1: get quality for it. But the inverse of that is
Speaker 1: that means that every time there rese a premium, you.
Speaker 3: Know that's the meta and we don't want that game either.
Speaker 1: So for anybody that gets out there and goes man,
Speaker 1: how would you ever spend seventy bucks for a cosmetic
Speaker 1: because supporting the cosmetic version is what keeps away the
Speaker 1: We're going to make a super Puma that if you
Speaker 1: don't why, you're the worst at your br right now,
Speaker 1: you know, so just saying like the next Puma could
Speaker 1: have a nuclear.
Speaker 3: Missile on it. Pah, how about that? Fomo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm gonna throw a curveball at you, Rev
Speaker 2: And I sent you a DM that I did not
Speaker 2: tell you. We're going to talk about this beforehand. But
Speaker 2: there have been leaks for other premiums that might be
Speaker 2: coming out this update, and you guys are gonna love it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. There's gonna be there's gonna be
Speaker 2: more anime tanks coming out that they haven't announced yet.
Speaker 2: These have been leaked out of the data minds, so
Speaker 2: they might not actually be coming, but I would say
Speaker 2: they probably are coming. Everyone loves their anime pillows, their
Speaker 2: anime tanks. It looks like we're gonna get a Challenger
Speaker 2: two and.
Speaker 3: It's three eleven seven, three three of them.
Speaker 2: Oh there is three. I didn't even see the third one.
Speaker 1: Three one, a Russian one in a Japanese one, all
Speaker 1: eleven seven all based on the sin Rai Maidens.
Speaker 2: Yeap So a Challenger to tes anime tank, a type
Speaker 2: ninety anime tank for Japan, and then a Chinese NBT
Speaker 2: two thousand anime tank. It's Chinese. Yeah, Rush already has
Speaker 2: the T eight so yeah, so a Challenger a Type
Speaker 2: ninety and an MBT for two. We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: I mean people are gonna buy them. I wonder if
Speaker 2: they're gonna add more anime pillows because last time you
Speaker 2: could get anime pillows of your maiden on your tank.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3: I'll say this anime.
Speaker 1: Tanks obviously not a curve ball, because I'd read up
Speaker 1: on it already, but I will say I will never
Speaker 1: yuck somebody's jump personally.
Speaker 3: Will you ever catch Rev with a wee, you know,
Speaker 3: anime girl pillow on his tank or something. No, that's
Speaker 3: not me.
Speaker 1: And I say this as somebody if y'all don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm a massive anime fan, I am. I'm a huge
Speaker 1: nerd millennial. I grew up with anime. I love anime.
Speaker 1: I just don't want anime on my tanks. But if
Speaker 1: you're out there and you enjoy it and you're gonna
Speaker 1: give them money for it, thank you for supporting the
Speaker 1: game to not spend, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You'll be absolutely not up my alley.
Speaker 2: And I think they'll be eighty dollars. I think the
Speaker 2: last three anime tanks. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's
Speaker 2: been a year since they came out. At least it's
Speaker 2: something I think they were like eighty.
Speaker 1: It's not something I remember, but again it's it's not
Speaker 1: something I would spend on like you. You're able to
Speaker 1: get me to buy the Greek Spitfire before I'll buy
Speaker 1: Anime Girl tank. But again that's just a personal thing.
Speaker 1: It was another was it the European Canadian? I think
Speaker 1: I was listening to he was talking about it, and
Speaker 1: it just the truth of it is, this game has
Speaker 1: a massive core demographic of people who love things like anime,
Speaker 1: and as a company, you would be pretty remiss and
Speaker 1: silly to just ignore those people throwing their money at you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's a very Eastern European thing too, like
Speaker 2: the whole anime culture. It's very popular in Eastern Europe.
Speaker 2: So it makes sense.
Speaker 3: Like Apple watches and.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows that reference.
Speaker 3: Inside jokes message.
Speaker 2: I think it ties in well to the Puma discussion.
Speaker 2: The anime tanks were copy and pasted from the tech
Speaker 2: Tree or premium versions that they were whatever they're gonna be,
Speaker 2: they're gonna be the same as the Challenger to the
Speaker 2: Type ninety and the NBT that you're used toe skin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but what's unique about the anime tanks because I have
Speaker 2: all three anime tanks guyde and gave them to me
Speaker 2: to try to go sell them. I didn't have the
Speaker 2: shame to ever use it. But I do have the
Speaker 2: other three, and there is a version that's super anime
Speaker 2: and there's one that's not. So there is a you
Speaker 2: can't put the skin on supp look at me like that. There,
Speaker 2: You're actually a very very handsome donkey. You're probably one
Speaker 2: of the most handsome donkeys I've ever seen. That's the truth.
Speaker 2: There's a skin on that you can change to where
Speaker 2: it might look it looks different than the tech Tree.
Speaker 2: It might have an interesting like like decoration on it,
Speaker 2: but it does look like a normal tank. So it
Speaker 2: is a good entry level, top tier tank, just like
Speaker 2: the other three. There was already an Abrams and a
Speaker 2: T eighty and a Leopard I believe were the other
Speaker 2: three anime tanks. So it's a good entry level premium
Speaker 2: So I'm sure they'll be coming this update. If they're
Speaker 2: in if they're being data mined in the stack cards,
Speaker 2: how already been made. It looks like like they already
Speaker 2: have the picture and everything made for the stack card.
Speaker 2: That means we'll probably see them be announced probably this
Speaker 2: week or next week would be my guess. So expect
Speaker 2: three more anime tanks, which means more low tier players
Speaker 2: at high tier br So you either love that or
Speaker 2: you hate it. I remember when the anime tanks came out,
Speaker 2: everybody was just complaining because top tier was just infested
Speaker 2: with your whole team being level fours who bought the
Speaker 2: anime tanks, you know, So that'll probably be a thing
Speaker 2: that we'll hear about. The Puma's gonna.
Speaker 1: Do this, So sorry, players, that's such a silly thing
Speaker 1: to gripe about. Like can we not just gripe for
Speaker 1: the sake of griping?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sorry, Yeah, like let let.
Speaker 3: People play in the freaking game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean wourth. Then there's just one of those
Speaker 2: things where it doesn't matter what they add, people are
Speaker 2: gonna complay and it's just kind of it's it's the whole.
Speaker 3: We'll say this, you're not going to get me on
Speaker 3: these three guys.
Speaker 1: And but if you make like a lamboyant peak girl's umpanza.
Speaker 3: Full on skin the anime. You might get me there.
Speaker 2: Maybev Rev doesn't like the anime. He'd be down for.
Speaker 1: Like saying, if you want to do anime, let's just
Speaker 1: go full on completely.
Speaker 2: Rev wants a partnership with Sidney Sweeney or something. He'd
Speaker 2: buy that one for sure. Yeah, I don't know. People
Speaker 2: complain just to complain. But there's a bunch of new stuff.
Speaker 2: We're getting to that point of the month, the end
Speaker 2: of May. There is an update coming out soon, so
Speaker 2: hopefully you guys are excited to see some of the
Speaker 2: new stuff coming out, or just excited that they are
Speaker 2: starting to announce new stuff. The dead period of the
Speaker 2: year is like slowly fading away. We're gonna start getting
Speaker 2: cool stuff, and then towards the end of summer is
Speaker 2: really when we start getting those like three or four
Speaker 2: updates back to back to back, and it really starts
Speaker 2: ramping up to the holiday season. So hey, at least
Speaker 2: we're getting new stuff. I've not seen anything yet that's like, Guidge,
Speaker 2: and what are you thinking. It's just like, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: about what you would expect from the summer update. So
Speaker 2: I'm happy with it. I don't think I'll buy the
Speaker 2: anime tanks, but if the Snail wants to slide them
Speaker 2: into my inbox, that's okay with me. Rev doesn't want
Speaker 2: them at all.
Speaker 1: Those are the keeping count. That's four tanks and a
Speaker 1: plane and no boats. Y'all can stop whining.
Speaker 2: Yeah, next week they'll anounce that they're taking Navel out,
Speaker 2: so it'll be okay. So oh my, I.
Speaker 3: Have multiple players who would quit playing warth.
Speaker 2: On you believe it or not if they yeah.
Speaker 3: Same time, Please please guide and make it better, make it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've actually been looking at my discount code redemptions lately.
Speaker 2: I don't know how often you look at that. When
Speaker 2: people use your discount code, it tells you, doesn't tell
Speaker 2: you obviously who, but tells you what they got. I
Speaker 2: mean during the sale, like thirty people bought premium boats
Speaker 2: with my discount code, and I'm like, damn, there might
Speaker 2: be a lot more people that actually played Naval than
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: You know, I try to tell people that, but I
Speaker 1: get told like, nowhere crazy, everybody just plays high tier air,
Speaker 1: Like no, we're everywhere, just you know, is it? Midtally
Speaker 1: the worst of the three game modes. I think that's
Speaker 1: the only part we don't deny. It's like you recognize us.
Speaker 1: We're just not trying to say the Naval's great. We're
Speaker 1: just saying recognize us.
Speaker 3: We exist.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean women, there are four game modes.
Speaker 2: If you want to throw Helly PV in there, I'd
Speaker 2: rather play Naval. You know, Helly PV.
Speaker 3: What's the reason I said there's three games?
Speaker 2: We don't even talk as.
Speaker 1: Made that comment earlier. You talk about grinding through the
Speaker 1: entire ground tree, Like, well.
Speaker 3: What's next, buddy? You gotta either do helicopters of Naval.
Speaker 2: What do you got? I don't know. I'll go play
Speaker 2: Fortnite or something after we get tanks.
Speaker 3: Just start streaming all the Jedi Survivor games.
Speaker 2: You leave my Jedi games alone. Yeah?
Speaker 3: You no more patchy here? Straight? Have you done the
Speaker 3: dark side play through of the I Run yet?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Or have you only done light side playing through?
Speaker 2: I don't think you can really go dark side in
Speaker 2: those Jedi games. The old ones you can for sure,
Speaker 2: like the Old Knights republics. Oh. I mean, cal Cassis
Speaker 2: is a bad Jedi, don't get me wrong. Yesterday, I
Speaker 2: just cut some dude's arm off just because he set
Speaker 2: a certain your dominance. He's not a good guy for sure,
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't think there's a certain
Speaker 2: way to play it. The old Jedi, he.
Speaker 3: Cut somebody's arm off, you told him to do that.
Speaker 2: But yes, speaking of game modes, just a reminder something
Speaker 2: to expect for June. They did say the infantry should
Speaker 2: be coming back for the June I think is what
Speaker 2: they said after the major update or yeah, another clothes
Speaker 2: bait or something like that. So we will see another
Speaker 2: infantry test, probably within the next month or so, so
Speaker 2: keep that in mind. They're usually drop it right in
Speaker 2: the middle of a major halliday where people are busy.
Speaker 2: They love to do that a lot. But so we'll
Speaker 2: see fourth of July probably, Yeah, infantry test. Don't go barbecue,
Speaker 2: stay home and play infantry. I would imagine something like that.
Speaker 2: But it's interesting. I'm interested. I'm excited new stuff coming
Speaker 2: out and new nice dev blogs, fancy animations, premiums that
Speaker 2: people will spend money on. So I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3: More importantly, fun experience.
Speaker 2: Exactly, And if you want to go make free money
Speaker 2: and play with a squad this week, go play with Revduce,
Speaker 2: Go play some arcade, fly some Wingman stuff, get some
Speaker 2: best squad wagers, go hang out with Rev. If you
Speaker 2: want a good experience, take a break. That's our advice
Speaker 2: for the streap. For the streap, that's our advice for
Speaker 2: the podcast. Take your time this week to just enjoy
Speaker 2: the game. Do what you like. Take a break from grinding.
Speaker 2: Grinding sucks. Everyone's feeling it right now. If you're not
Speaker 2: having fun, take a break, do what you enjoy, play
Speaker 2: something that you like, you know, play a different game mode,
Speaker 2: play a low br just enjoy yourself this week. That's
Speaker 2: that's my advice. It's the summer, it's a struffled time
Speaker 2: to year. Put the grind down. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: The grind's just only gonna get worse later this year,
Speaker 2: So take your time. That's my advice for the day.
Speaker 2: REVV Final thoughts.
Speaker 1: One thing that I say a lot to the other
Speaker 1: games that I've made content for, I'll say it to
Speaker 1: the war th Under community. Remember you can never fall
Speaker 1: behind in war th Under because you can never catch up.
Speaker 1: By the nature of these games, there will always be
Speaker 1: something new coming. There's always gonna be something that releases,
Speaker 1: so you are never falling behind. You're equally in the
Speaker 1: same spot always, So don't worry if you haven't gotten
Speaker 1: to that fifteen that you want so bad.
Speaker 3: You'll get there. Make sure you're having fun, long on
Speaker 3: the process.
Speaker 2: There you go. Quote of the day don't don't force
Speaker 2: yourself to grind. Rev says you'll never fall behind because
Speaker 2: you'll never catch up. I don't know if that's depressing
Speaker 2: or helpful.
Speaker 3: Half empty, but let's just be real.
Speaker 1: We would we rather war Thunder came out with new
Speaker 1: stuff or not. I think most of us would rather
Speaker 1: they're continually coming out new stuff. We might disagree on
Speaker 1: what that is, like how much we like it or not.
Speaker 1: We want them to keep doing that well. By nature,
Speaker 1: we then have to that the grind never stops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going.
Speaker 1: It's like you you were bragging when we started this podcast.
Speaker 1: You had finished air. Guess what you had to go do.
Speaker 1: Go refinish the air.
Speaker 2: Don't ecuse me be a bragging It's a sore subject. Dude.
