And 43 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.079 today we're gonna talk about the April Fools event, which 44 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.280 boiler alert. I go ahead and tell you don't evened 45 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.519 to watch the whole episode, Yes you do. 46 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.000 We love it and hate it at the same time. 47 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.800 Honestly, what you hear, I think you'll probably agree, and 48 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.080 hopefully Guidin also hears and agrees, because whatever their excuse 49 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.639 is going to be, here's my opinion. 50 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.240 Then I'll roll over to Gail and I'll come back 51 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.159 in a little bit more depth. 52 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.919 But I think this is a fantastic event, as in 53 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.319 like a seasonal event. It's a horrible Aprilfools event for 54 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.080 several reasons. 55 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:25.520 I agree. 56 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560 Now that's kind of like my premise point. I'll let 57 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.199 you bounce off of that and then I'll give a 58 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.039 little bit more. But I know you kind of feel 59 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:31.520 the same way. 60 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.719 Yeah, I mean, that's why I've been preaching all weekend, 61 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.840 is that, in my opinion, it's a fantastic game mode. 62 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.599 I think it's a fantastic test for harms like anti 63 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.919 radiation missiles. It's a great test for strategic bombers, you know, 64 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.400 tactical nukes. It's a streat, it's a great test for 65 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.560 IRRB and during Confrontation mode essentially is what it is. 66 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.120 It's essentially just a fantastic seasonal test for a new 67 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.960 game mode, which BVVD, the leader of the lead developer 68 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.439 of Guigen. I don't know if you know this, but 69 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.520 he posted on the forums this week and said that 70 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.319 it's going to become permanent. So it's gonna be a 71 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.960 permanent game mode. So it's a great test for all 72 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.400 of that, and I think it's I think it's fantastic. 73 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.000 I really enjoy it as a guy who has every 74 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.319 plane in the game, and I don't play planes anymore 75 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.719 because I lost my love for Errob because there's really 76 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.400 nothing to really do other than you know, load into 77 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.080 a game, spawn, kill a guy, die, go back to 78 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.639 the hangar, spawn into another. You know, it's like the 79 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.639 repetition gets rough, and this really breaks that for me. 80 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.520 It's really nice. But yeah, I mean me and you 81 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.080 both been playing this game for well over a decade, 82 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.599 and the April Fools events were always that thing that 83 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.639 Guigen did that other developers developers didn't really do, and 84 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.360 it was unique. It was goofy. You had pirate ships, 85 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.719 you had ponies whatever, you know, that one's weird, but 86 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.280 you had spaceships, You had a bunch of weird stuff. 87 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.560 You know. 88 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.759 Even things that were worth under themed were still unique, 89 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.240 like the submarine yeah that regarded as the best ever. 90 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.439 Yeah yeah, the inflatable one where they made fun of 91 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.879 the world of tanks. You know, like all of those 92 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.000 were great and they were funny April Fools events and 93 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.520 I love that. That's what I look forward to But 94 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.319 the last two years, I think we sort of lost 95 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.720 the plot on what makes April Fools April fools. You know, 96 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.279 last year we had World War One, which is so 97 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.560 close to warth on there it was just ground RB, 98 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.319 but you could bring it up limp and it was 99 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.199 World War One. It was it was infantry, but like 100 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.519 the infant made up. 101 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.199 For a little bit because one, obviously they were trying 102 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.639 to preview and hype up the idea of imagery a 103 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.040 little bit. 104 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.040 That was a little bit of a test bed, yeah, which. 105 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.519 Is fine, But then also too it was still unique 106 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.160 as in like it didn't exist anywhere, yes, whereas in 107 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.319 this case, not only is it still warth Under themed 108 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.040 as in its realistic scenarios, but now it's stuff that 109 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.920 you know, if you're an air RB player, you likely 110 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.839 were already doing anyway, you at least on day one. 111 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.560 If you were flying Iranian at fourteen's guess what, you're 112 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:00.079 probably doing. 113 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.240 That anyway, Yeah, right, yeah. 114 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.279 So it didn't provide that specialist and to me one 115 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.319 of the things that makes it so good at the 116 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.639 same time made it so bad as an April Fool's 117 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.319 event number one for and again my community for those 118 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.639 who don't follow me, you should come check us out 119 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.319 on Twitch. But we mostly are playing mid tier stuff 120 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.920 because this is what we really enjoy. But honestly, most 121 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.959 of the people who play war Thunder aren't at like 122 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.839 br thirteen right, They're just not There are a lot 123 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.639 of people up there, for sure. I'm not saying there's 124 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.959 not a healthy population, just most people are playing the 125 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.439 lower parts of the game. And one thing I love 126 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.600 about this game mode, and why, by the way, I'm 127 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.519 excited about the idea of being permanent, is the unlimited 128 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.600 response because I number one negative to ARB. If you're 129 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.279 learning ARB, going there with the jet immediately die go 130 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.480 through the whole process again. Ye, this helps you avoid that, 131 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.000 and that makes this mode one of the reasons I 132 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:52.360 love it. 133 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.680 But what also makes us terrible is, hey, guys, you got. 134 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.040 Eight days to do some grindy heck and milestones. 135 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:00.560 It's not too bad. 136 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.120 Again, it depends on what level player you are. 137 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.639 You arber right, The average player now has to learn 138 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.240 radar both ir radar anti radiation. They've got to learn 139 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.959 regular radar locking ir locking. 140 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.160 Then they've got to do it in planes. 141 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.879 For example, if you on the plade I was doing 142 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.240 my Iran F fourteen, which was great day one in Italy. 143 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.000 But now you're just getting smoked by MiG twenty nins 144 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:26.439 all day. 145 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.160 And you can't bring it anymore. They removed it. 146 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.399 Yeah, they finally removed the big twenty nine. 147 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.199 No, no, they removed the Iranian. 148 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.519 They removed that one. So now you're stuck with the 149 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.920 regular F fourteen A, which is not as good. No, 150 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.319 now you're just getting smoke with MiG twenty nine's all day. 151 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.639 Or you're a player who had never done this, you 152 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.279 want to explore air RB. Yes, you get thrown into 153 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.240 like a mid twenty three, which it's pretty useless. 154 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:49.839 You get thrown it into a. 155 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.639 Phantom and F four is a fine plane unless it's 156 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.319 going against other things, and then it's no longer a 157 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.399 fine plane, especially if you're learning the mode. 158 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.160 Really which four you get stuck into? I mean, so 159 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:03.560 if you're brand new to the game, you got the 160 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.759 F four E. It's got horrible radar, you know. Now, 161 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.360 what's nice about it is if you use the F 162 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.879 four E they give you, which I would highly recommend, 163 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.279 even if you have the tech Tree F four E, 164 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.120 run the one they give you because they buffed it 165 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.480 and they gave it a nine l's, which it doas 166 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.000 doesn't normally get in r RB does. You can't get 167 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.000 that load out any other way other than playing the 168 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.399 one they give you, So that is really nice. It 169 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.120 holds your hand a little bit. But yeah, the F 170 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.120 four East radar is terrible. So yeah, for guys like 171 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.279 me who play, you know, we've played five six thousand 172 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.759 hours of r RB, I get the mark done in 173 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.759 one game every single time. You know, it's not too bad. 174 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.720 But for a new player, yeah, and that's that's kind 175 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.480 of another reason brings me back to my previous point 176 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.639 is GUIDs and sort of lost the plot on what 177 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.879 makes an April Fools event a funny April Fools event. 178 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.800 You know, every other April Fools event has been something goofy, 179 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.600 something that you don't really expect to be coming, and 180 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.680 it shows up in the game and they are testing 181 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.600 a mechanic but you don't. Usually it's kind of like, well, 182 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.040 what are they testing here? But they're doing something this time. 183 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.959 It's just like, hey, we want to test this, this, this, this, this, 184 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.920 and this put it into a game mode. Let's just 185 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.800 add a couple tactical nukes and just pretend like, hey, 186 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.360 it's April Fools. Well, I mean, nukes have been in 187 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.759 worth on there for years. It's not like it's not 188 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.879 like it's crazy to have a couple more going off 189 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.439 every now and then. So like as an April Fools event, 190 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.079 I agree, it's a bad one. It's a bad April 191 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.720 Fools event, but it's a fantastic seasonal test for what 192 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.399 will become RAB in the future, and with fifth gen 193 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.360 fighters coming out within the next year, I think this 194 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.039 is what the game This is what we need for 195 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.480 fifth gen fighters like the F twenty two, F thirty five, 196 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.879 we need, we need a game mode like this to 197 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.600 kind of help those planes out, especially since those planes 198 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.399 are gonna probably gonna get put with planes like the 199 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.120 F sixteen p Bit and they're gonna be forced into 200 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.279 a multi roll multi role finders will need something other 201 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.120 than team deathmatch to get points. And I think this 202 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.559 is gonna be fantastic And I'm really excited to see 203 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.360 what they do with this event in terms of turning 204 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.679 it around and moving it to all brs, So hopefully 205 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.840 I imagine you won't be able to drop a nuke 206 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.320 past five, seven or six seven kind of like ground 207 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.919 Our b is at the moment. But I'm excited to 208 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.480 see what maps they come up with, how they change 209 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.240 the current maps they have, and what they do to 210 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.159 really spread that out across all brs. Now, I think 211 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.440 BBBD said that it's not going to be anytime soon. 212 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.480 I think he's I might be wrong, but I think 213 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.879 he said it's gonna be a seasonal event until they've 214 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.720 worked out a lot of issues and they've revamped it 215 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.720 for multiple br brackets, and then it'll come to the game. 216 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.960 So it's not like as soon as April Fool's Event ends, 217 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.360 it's going to become a full time game mode. I don't. 218 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.639 I think it's going to leave this week, but it ish. Yeah, 219 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.960 it needs work, it needs work, It definitely needs work. 220 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.840 But it will be cool to see it. And I 221 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.799 think it's a fantastic event and but there are some 222 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.120 very inherent issues with it. But a lot of the 223 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.519 issues with it, I think aren't really the game mod's fault. 224 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.519 It's the it's the time of what they're doing it. 225 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.679 It's the br that they're at causes a lot of problems. 226 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.360 The osa's I think, I think, because I don't think 227 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.200 abral fools. 228 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.879 What made them so much fun is you could just 229 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.759 log into like the mad Max. 230 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.639 Ones, like do you agree that Mad Max? 231 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:26.679 That was literally just. 232 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.000 I enjoyed that one. I enjoyed that one quite but 233 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.279 it was. 234 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.879 But I think why it was so enjoyable is even 235 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.879 though it had its own mechanics, it was so to 236 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.120 learn anything about war Thunder. 237 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.879 Yeah, exactly. And this event it's like. 238 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.600 You do here because you have one you can correct 239 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.919 me because again this is which you play a lot of. 240 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.679 But to a degree. There's basically three types of missiles, right, 241 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.240 you have I R, which for the most part are 242 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.039 more rear guided, right, they're not great for Then you 243 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.960 have all aspects like the aim non L you talked about, 244 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.200 that's all aspect. You have radar locked ones and that's 245 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.000 just three main different types or subcategories to all that. 246 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.559 Yeah you have you have you have Fox ones, Fox twos, 247 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.240 and Fox threes. That's the best way to put it. 248 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.879 Your Fox ones are gonna be radar that. 249 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.039 You have told there is as a player, especially if 250 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.440 you've never done any of this, you don't have to 251 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.480 figure that out. But you haven't figured out everything at 252 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.000 once like you have to figure out depending on which plane. 253 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.759 You launch, whether it's one they gave you or any 254 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.559 of the four. 255 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.159 They gave you, they all had different LOWDOC configurations, and 256 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.759 there's different air to air missile types. And then he's 257 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.399 even counting the fact that in this mode, which I like, 258 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.919 the AA is good, very really good. 259 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:40.120 It's really good. It's very good. Yeah, especially especially with 260 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.279 the patch they came out with on Saturday. The Saturday 261 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.919 patch they came out with, crack them out of their mind. 262 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.559 Like I it was so bad that yesterday on stream, 263 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.639 my my viewers kept track of how I died in 264 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.159 the course of dropping a nuke. So I was playing 265 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.159 the F four s at the lower bracket and and 266 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.600 they kept track of what killed me throughout the whole 267 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.159 game until I got my nuke and it was legitimately 268 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:11.440 like sixty the AI anti air getting me through trees. 269 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.279 It was crazy with that. 270 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.879 If if You've heard me a lot, one of the 271 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.399 biggest complaints I've had about war th Under High Tier 272 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.279 was the lack of realism. 273 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.320 I mean that's fair, yeah, but it's not really into it. 274 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.919 But it's not because the things they were hitting. 275 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.200 Me through literally right now right. 276 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.960 Yeah, But the OSAs are hitting you. They're optically guided SPAA. Yeah, 277 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.279 they're optically guided. They're not they're not radar, they're not thermal. 278 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.279 They're optically guided. They're hitting you through hills, they're hitting 279 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.519 you through trees, they're hitting you while driving forty five 280 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.240 miles an hour down the road. It needs a lot 281 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.639 of work. Yeah, But like my. 282 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.720 Point is the fact that there is a pause of 283 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.960 effect because if you've just for those of listening, if 284 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.440 you've never played high tier air RB, the only time 285 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.159 AA matters is if you decide to go near their airfield. 286 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.480 Yeah, only time. 287 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.879 Whereas here, get within five miles of any bunch of 288 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.799 ground troops you see, be careful, you're probably getting shot down. 289 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.279 You're probably gonna get shot down. Yeah, I mean it, 290 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:12.639 And I think. 291 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.440 You're right if it was he guided. 292 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.600 I have a little like obviously it's more realistic, but 293 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.000 I actually like that. 294 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.240 You have to pay attention where you're at on the map. 295 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:20.720 Yeah. 296 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.159 I think that's a nice em. 297 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.000 That's fair, And I think a lot of the issue 298 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.360 stems across you know, everyone is trying it's like a 299 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840 sprint right now. Everyone is trying to sprint to getting 300 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.399 a nuke and it gets you in bad situations. You're right, 301 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.559 because you only have so many days to play this, 302 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.039 and everyone's trying to be that guy who gets their nuke, 303 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.519 and if it's getting you to rush in and get 304 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.879 yourself in a situation that you wouldn't normally do and 305 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.799 gets you shot down, and that's fair, and I greet 306 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.519 I get. A great example of that is the fact 307 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.600 that I've been getting a lot of nukes, like pretty 308 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.960 much every game, but I bring in a mid I 309 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.559 bring in I bring you here, I brag a lot, 310 00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:02.559 I've I one of my mods. He plays with me 311 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.759 every single time, and he, you know, tends to do 312 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.919 a lot better because he's not running a stream. He's 313 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.159 not trying to get in there and get the new 314 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.919 quickly and get the game over with. Like I think 315 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.960 he got fifty fifty fifty one kills the other day 316 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.120 and I had thirty and he had fifty one. You know, 317 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.960 that's the difference between you know, a guy who's trying 318 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.519 to rush in there and get you get shot down 319 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.080 by OS isn't the guy who's taking their time. 320 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.960 And then you just got people like me who are like, 321 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.039 you know what nukes are cool. I can drop the 322 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.639 many ones, but wouldn't be fun if I just went 323 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.000 out and just did nothing but focus on shooting players down. 324 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.200 Hey, coming from the aspect of this isn't something I'll 325 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:38.639 do a lot of. 326 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.960 Yeah, so this is my actual opportunity to Okay, I 327 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.919 can actually take time to learn my missiles, Yeah, learn 328 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.840 my radars and get twelve. 329 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.519 Kills where normally I would never get near that. 330 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.000 And I enjoy that aspect, But again it goes back 331 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:56.399 to it's great as a seasonal event, not as April fools. 332 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.240 April fools. 333 00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.840 You know, if I want to really grind for buff, 334 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.480 I'd rather feel like I'm. 335 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.320 Doing it because it's fun than doing it like. 336 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.039 Because right now and then if you agree or disagree 337 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.000 with this and you're watching on YouTube, feel free to comment. 338 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.759 But for me, it just feels like I'm doing this 339 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.480 what I would do any normal week. Right, if you 340 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.039 got a plane, you want me to grind, here's nine 341 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.480 hard milestones to grind through. 342 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.720 Yeah, right, it's it just. 343 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.279 And not to get to you know, anti snail, But 344 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.279 it's the same nine hundred and ninety nine golden Eagles 345 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.600 to skip the milestone. If you couldn't figure it out, like. 346 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.559 It doesn't feel April April foil. 347 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.120 And I don't truly have an issue with those events styles, guys, 348 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.200 And before y'all get pissy at me, it's fine. I 349 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.879 get it for you to play games, gotta make money. 350 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.639 But April Fools has always, historically, for the most part, 351 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:42.720 had a different feel to it that this was just 352 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.360 simply missing. 353 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.000 April Fools has always been about having a good time 354 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.480 about something that you would have never guessed was coming 355 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.320 to the game. You know, it tests a new mechanic, 356 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.759 but you don't really feel like your guinea pig while 357 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.639 you're testing it and not monetizing it, like you know, 358 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.360 I'm the whole time you're talking right there. I was 359 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.039 trying to think of the last April Fools event that 360 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.360 we had monetization towards, and I don't. I don't really remember. 361 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.879 I guess last year during the World War One event, 362 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.960 you may have been able to buy the marks to 363 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:18.240 get the World War One vehicles, but to get the milestones, yeah, 364 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.279 it was really easy because everyone. 365 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.159 Mad Max had the same thing right where you could 366 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.720 buy the different could the. 367 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.360 No because no, because you didn't get to. 368 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.759 Unlocked them for free if you did the actual events. 369 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.000 But you couldn't get them in the war Thunder, So 370 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.200 I don't think there was any monetization behind it. I 371 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.159 think the last two years may have been the first. 372 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.840 I mean, well, we'll know in our YouTube comments someone 373 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.159 might think of something we don't, but yeah, yeah, it's 374 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.240 definitely war Thunder is getting more aggressively monetized, which is 375 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.799 another topic we could talk about in the future. The 376 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.759 last two years of war Thunder, you know, it's turned 377 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.960 into a game that everyone has said, wasn't you know, 378 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:58.240 dramatically monetized. I think it is towards shifting towards aggressive monetization. 379 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.120 In your face with every very small, mediocre event they 380 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.880 come out with, even if it's a test and they're 381 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.160 using us as a two hundred and fifty thousand player base, 382 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.680 you know, Guinea pig Pool to test a new event, 383 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.759 they still want to monetize it from us, which is 384 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.960 another thing. Is I think worth on their hit it's 385 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:21.000 highest concurrent players on Friday or Saturday ever, with like 386 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.039 two hundred and fifty thousand people playing at one time, 387 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.160 so it should be celebrated about it, Yeah, which would 388 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.200 be celebrated yeah, so it's definitely not like you know everyone. 389 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.839 I know, I've heard a lot of the OG content 390 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.960 creators like really dogging on this event, and I think 391 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.480 the players speak for themselves. The amount of people that 392 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.440 came back to play it proves that it's a good event, 393 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.640 maybe just not a good April Fools. 394 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.759 And there's too many people who will who won't I 395 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:48.759 don't say willing wanting to kind of like do the 396 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.759 whole cliche. 397 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.839 Throw the baby out with the bathwater. 398 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.960 It's kind of like the monetization stuff like I agree 399 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.799 to an extent, but also good or bad high player 400 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.160 accounts will also. 401 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:58.680
