Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to the third episode of the thunder
Speaker 1: Buddies podcast. For today, we've got a few different topics
Speaker 1: for you, hoping to hit as many of you as
Speaker 1: we can, because this is what we like to do.
Speaker 1: We like to punch you right in the mouth and
Speaker 1: get right to it, and that's what we're going to
Speaker 1: do today by starting with a lot of you who
Speaker 1: are new to war th Under.
Speaker 2: Now, if you're not new to warth Under, don't worry it.
Speaker 1: Some good here and actually we would encourage you to
Speaker 1: participate in this episode where if you watch on YouTube,
Speaker 1: comment down below for anybody who is thinking about war Thunder,
Speaker 1: what should they do?
Speaker 2: What do you recommend?
Speaker 1: But we're going to start with when you're choosing your
Speaker 1: early trees in war th Underground, what do you choose
Speaker 1: and why? Now, For those who have been watching Nightingale's streams,
Speaker 1: this dude has decided that, hey, I've got all the planes,
Speaker 1: why not get all the ground. So he's been doing
Speaker 1: this working through all the trees. For me, I am
Speaker 1: more of a guy who I focus it from.
Speaker 2: The fun aspects.
Speaker 1: So the expert here in terms of how things were
Speaker 1: we refer to Gail for a lot of the high
Speaker 1: tier stuff.
Speaker 2: When it comes to the low of the mid tier stuff.
Speaker 1: This is my bread butter where I really enjoy war
Speaker 1: th Under, where I personally war Thunder is the best.
Speaker 1: And that really also kind of depends on how's your
Speaker 1: experience when you got started, Like, for example, you started
Speaker 1: off in the British tree ground, you might have experienced
Speaker 1: some frustrations because all they have a solid shot and
Speaker 1: you're really good at getting assists, you're really good to
Speaker 1: getting criticals, You're not good at killing things unless you
Speaker 1: know where all the crew are, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And then on the reverse you have like the easy mode,
Speaker 1: which is jumping into Germany where the Panthers in the
Speaker 1: you know, the PZ thirty nine shell is arguably the
Speaker 1: best default shell in low and mid game when you
Speaker 1: get it immediately on every medium tank that Germany has.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna jump into what makes it fun to
Speaker 1: play and what those different experiences can look like. And Gail,
Speaker 1: good to see you, my friend.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Okay, I want to Saw for saying if
Speaker 3: you hear me snifflin, I'm kind of going through an
Speaker 3: algie attack right now, so ignore that. I'll do my best.
Speaker 3: I'll do my best. But yeah, I think a lot
Speaker 3: of the issues with war Thunder nowadays is a lot
Speaker 3: of people aren't really low tier anymore. People aren't really
Speaker 3: starting off new as much as they used to. You know,
Speaker 3: if the ground has been out for almost a decade,
Speaker 3: if not a decade, yeah, about a decade now, and
Speaker 3: most people probably aren't low tier. But we do get
Speaker 3: a lot of comments. I do hear a lot of
Speaker 3: things every week.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, man like you say that, and yet
Speaker 1: we just talked about last episode.
Speaker 2: The population grows every year.
Speaker 1: And because I as a streamer, I'm always kind of
Speaker 1: if anybody comes to my streams, we're generally playing BR
Speaker 1: three to seven. That's just kind of where my stream
Speaker 1: and community lives. I get tons of new players. I
Speaker 1: think it's actually more than a lot of war th
Speaker 1: Under diehards. Think there's a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: new the game and are wanting some of the.
Speaker 2: Type of information. I think it would shock people.
Speaker 1: I would really love maybe we could sit down with
Speaker 1: like seb and get them to share some of that info.
Speaker 1: How many players are playing and new at these low tiers.
Speaker 2: Because I think it's more than people.
Speaker 3: It's probably is ye.
Speaker 1: This choice is a big one because you know, if
Speaker 1: you's going in blind, you probably default go with one
Speaker 1: of three options. You go Great Britain, Russia, or Germany.
Speaker 1: It's probably what everybody would default. I'm including Great Britain.
Speaker 3: With USA there, Yes, US for sure, especially if.
Speaker 1: You're a longtime war thunder guy where everything was just
Speaker 1: Shermans for about ten years. Everybody with Sherman's on the
Speaker 1: Allied side. And now there's pros and cons to all those.
Speaker 1: But there's also kind of a little bit of a
Speaker 1: deeper way to approach this, and for me, I called
Speaker 1: just the fun approach. And for example, I like to
Speaker 1: bring up a low tier Sweden ground. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Japan and China, but Sweden can be very interesting because well,
Speaker 1: as many of you who've been playing the game of notice,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of these factions become a conglomeration
Speaker 1: of different things. You'll find randomly like Italy has a
Speaker 1: Romanian plane and Sweden don't have Finland Norway, but they
Speaker 1: also have you know, because Finland had German tech from
Speaker 1: the war. They've got panzers, they've got T thirty fours,
Speaker 1: they stole from the Russians, they've got British stuff. They've
Speaker 1: got a Sherman Premium take if you want to get it,
Speaker 1: which is arguably at four point zero, the best Sherman
Speaker 1: in the game because it doesn't have the machine gun
Speaker 1: port on the front, meaning it doesn't have that natural weakness.
Speaker 1: So depending on what your style wants to be, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of good options to jump into.
Speaker 2: And if you're.
Speaker 1: Brand new to war th Under in particular, I would
Speaker 1: actually start leaning pointing you towards things like Sweden and
Speaker 1: China unless you just really are passionate about the German
Speaker 1: tree or the American tree.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and especially with the main glaring issue of
Speaker 3: Germany can't be ignored as the fact that German has
Speaker 3: the worst win loss across ALLVRS and all of warth Under.
Speaker 3: So yeah, the German vehicles are fantastic, but the fact
Speaker 3: that so many people start off with playing Germany means
Speaker 3: that a lot of people on your team probably aren't
Speaker 3: going to help you win and you don't have to
Speaker 3: deal with that loss ratio a lot. But yeah, I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Think the pros and cons I think comes down to
Speaker 1: because it's so easy to get into when we're talking
Speaker 1: about the AMO being a that PZ thirty nine round,
Speaker 1: the best early round you can you know, get in
Speaker 1: terms of stock rounds.
Speaker 2: That makes it feel easier.
Speaker 1: But to that a lot of new players might then
Speaker 1: not take the time to learn, for example, crew locations,
Speaker 1: ammal locations on tanks, where to actually fire, because you
Speaker 1: get so used to it two point oh three point zero,
Speaker 1: while I'll just have my pans are four, my pans
Speaker 1: with three one shot everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you keep going.
Speaker 2: Then as you tear up, you go, well, what the heck?
Speaker 3: This don't work like you more, especially yeah, especially with
Speaker 3: your armor. Yeah, you get used to Germany. If you're new,
Speaker 3: you're used to bouncing rounds, and then quickly the script
Speaker 3: gets flipped on you, probably around four seven, five seven,
Speaker 3: and then any.
Speaker 1: Early when those first Tigers come out, you're expecting the
Speaker 1: Tigers just start dog walking everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they do not dog.
Speaker 3: Walk every and don't get it around.
Speaker 2: They're good, but they're not just dominating the battlefield.
Speaker 3: Yeah, any intelligent ally player will punch straight through you
Speaker 3: every time. Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely hard. And yeah, I
Speaker 3: like when you bring up China too, because when I
Speaker 3: started doing My My Ground grind. I really enjoyed China.
Speaker 3: China's kind of awesome, you know, it is. It is
Speaker 3: really slept on. I mean, you get some of the
Speaker 3: best Allied early vehicles, and you get some of the
Speaker 3: best Russian early vehicles. Like it is really cool. There's
Speaker 3: nothing really unique about China. They pretty much just take
Speaker 3: the vehicles that other countries have and tweak them a
Speaker 3: little bit, but usually they tweak them for the better.
Speaker 3: I know, before we started the podcast, we were talking
Speaker 3: about how much I love the T thirty four eighty
Speaker 3: five that China gets because it's the same br as
Speaker 3: the Russian Tea thirty four, but they just throw a
Speaker 3: dishka on the roof and you just shoot planes down
Speaker 3: like you're playing an American you know.
Speaker 1: It's basically like you're stamping a fifty but you don't
Speaker 1: have fifty.
Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, and again coming into place. One thing I'll
Speaker 1: say about Sweden and China. If you're a new player,
Speaker 1: or maybe somebody who you just did air and you
Speaker 1: want to give ground a try, or maybe you're one
Speaker 1: of the crazy people who was doing Blue Water and
Speaker 1: you want to give ground the really neat thing about
Speaker 1: these countries that are kind of the slept On countries
Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna call them, is they let you
Speaker 1: experience different plays dolls. Because if you're a German Maine,
Speaker 1: that's a very different playstyll than a UK mate. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but in these trees you can experience to a degree
Speaker 1: what all these different types are. So if you're one
Speaker 1: of those people who's trying to like really find what
Speaker 1: your vibe is in war Thunder, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: jumping into like China can help you find out if
Speaker 1: you're going to be a US or a German Maine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, yeah, I mean there are I
Speaker 3: would say Russia and US and and Britain, and those
Speaker 3: major countries are very kind of specialized, like you have
Speaker 3: to know how to play those vehicles because they're kind
Speaker 3: of a one trick pony kind of nation. And yeah,
Speaker 3: if you're brand new to the game starting off as
Speaker 3: these these minor countries that get a mixture of everything,
Speaker 3: it's kind of nice because you can kind of learn
Speaker 3: the game. You can play the first three tiers and
Speaker 3: then you're like, okay, I kind of know how warth
Speaker 3: On theer works. I really like this line of vehicles
Speaker 3: and you're like, wait a minute, this line of vehicle
Speaker 3: is the Russian line. Then you just hop over and
Speaker 3: then you'll power level through that major country because you
Speaker 3: already know how to play it, and you'll like, I
Speaker 3: really vibed with that kind of country. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: that's a great way to start. I always when people
Speaker 3: come in and they ask, they're like, I want I
Speaker 3: wanna start playing wortham there where do I start? And
Speaker 3: I always point them kind of in the direction of,
Speaker 3: you know, if you want to play US and Russia.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously I can't stop you Germany too, But like,
Speaker 3: maybe go play a minor country, especially if you're gonna
Speaker 3: start off and you might be playing Arcade or something
Speaker 3: like that, because you get a good mixture of vehicles
Speaker 3: you can bring in every time, and you can learn
Speaker 3: the game and that in like Arcade or something, and
Speaker 3: then once you figure out how to play the game,
Speaker 3: how it works, what kind of vehicle you like, then
Speaker 3: you can apply that logic to more major countries if
Speaker 3: you like that kind of play style. But it's better
Speaker 3: than getting into America for example, and realizing, hey, I
Speaker 3: want armor. Well you're in the wrong country for that,
Speaker 3: you know, like yeah, yeah, it's like it's.
Speaker 1: Like America makes great tender boxes. Now they're also effective. Like,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, the Shermans and stuff could be good.
Speaker 1: But but just to kind of piggyback on your point.
Speaker 1: For those who've watched me, most people will probably classify
Speaker 1: my account as a German main as in that's what
Speaker 1: I have the most realism, arcade, et cetera, ours on.
Speaker 1: But if you actually go look at the individual tanks
Speaker 1: that I have the most kills with, it's actually the
Speaker 1: technically finish T thirty four, right, That's the one that
Speaker 1: has the most even though I'm a German Maine, because
Speaker 1: it helps you really again find those styles that in
Speaker 1: this case it's you know one again the Sweden thing
Speaker 1: it and even to the when you talk about China,
Speaker 1: it feels like when they pour these to these specially countries,
Speaker 1: they just make them that little bit better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, like that Sherman.
Speaker 1: Even though it's a premium in Sweden, not having that
Speaker 1: machine gun poured on the front gives us so much
Speaker 1: more survivability. The T thirty four has great speed and
Speaker 1: one thing that I found neat about Sweden. Here's a
Speaker 1: pro tip for all you players out there who are
Speaker 1: trying to do like your dailies and everything. One of
Speaker 1: the reasons that I point people to Sweden is the Sherman,
Speaker 1: the T thirty four, the pans are four, and even
Speaker 1: these Swedish meatballs that they have those are all ranked
Speaker 1: three at BR four, which is actually quite rare when you.
Speaker 2: Compare it to the major countries three.
Speaker 1: So that's important because if you're trying to do your dailies,
Speaker 1: the dailies a lot of times are wanting you to
Speaker 1: be using rank three and greater. Yeah, well Sweden, lets
Speaker 1: you get that at a much lower BR.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And yeah you said four oh four oh for Arcade, yeah,
Speaker 3: three seven for Realistic too, which is even nicer. And
Speaker 3: we're missing the best thing about Sweden, which is the
Speaker 3: SOV twenty twelve forty eight, which is you can only
Speaker 3: buy once a year, but it's three seven. It's probably
Speaker 3: one of the most overpowered premiums in the game. It's
Speaker 3: ten minutes. They can't buy it for another year, so
Speaker 3: it's not like they're going to go use my discount
Speaker 3: code now, like give me a break, a you know,
Speaker 3: like like Sweeten.
Speaker 2: Guides it behind the scenes, is like, good job, Gale,
Speaker 2: proud of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I find it interesting that you that you bring
Speaker 3: up Sweden because that kind of shows the difference of
Speaker 3: where we came from, because I grinded out Sweden when
Speaker 3: it came to the game years ago, and they didn't
Speaker 3: have the American tanks, they didn't have the finished tanks
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, So it's kind of interesting. I
Speaker 3: never think of Sweden as being like a multi natural
Speaker 3: or national country. It's kind of just to me. I
Speaker 3: always think of just no armor Swedish meatball launchers. But
Speaker 3: I guess now, yeah, they definitely have that finish line,
Speaker 3: which definitely brought a lot of meat to that tree
Speaker 3: and kind of helped break them up.
Speaker 1: But when you and I first started doing or at
Speaker 1: least when I first started doing Americans, it was basically
Speaker 1: what brand of.
Speaker 2: Sherman would you like to play with?
Speaker 1: And thankfully that's no longer the case. If you do
Speaker 1: decide to be an American player, it's not literally just Shermans.
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of them, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but it's not just Shermans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but fair when it first.
Speaker 1: Rolled out, that was basically what you had. You just
Speaker 1: had whatever flavor of Sherman you're running. If you're at
Speaker 1: four point zero, you know, you work your way up
Speaker 1: then to get you the easy eight Shermans.
Speaker 2: But it was still a Sherman.
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people sleep on the
Speaker 3: Japanese tank tree too. The Japanese tank tree is one
Speaker 3: of my favorite. They have some goofy vehicles, but they
Speaker 3: do get of a lot of American vehicles. They get
Speaker 3: the early Chaffee, they get the early M sixteen SPA,
Speaker 3: the you know, the M nineteen and the Duster and
Speaker 3: plus days are getting Sherman's and Jackson's and Wolverines and
Speaker 3: semi six Shermans like Japan is also great, and they
Speaker 3: get some of the nastiest early tier naval guns on
Speaker 3: tank chassis, like the Chiha long Gun, which is my
Speaker 3: favorite tank in the game. God, I love this.
Speaker 2: I hate it because I love it people I love it.
Speaker 2: I won't realism and in real life it was trash.
Speaker 3: But in the game, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I are
Speaker 3: not arguable.
Speaker 1: Either, Like yeah, it kisses me off match just because
Speaker 1: it'll be two miles out and in pain.
Speaker 3: Well that's what it was built for. I actually just
Speaker 3: watch a whole documentary on the Chiaha Long Gun and
Speaker 3: it the Japanese were like, Hey, they keep laying their
Speaker 3: shitty boats on our beach. What the hell are we
Speaker 3: supposed to do about it? They we don't even know
Speaker 3: which beach they're gonna land on. They just land on
Speaker 3: a beach. So let's just take this this naval emplacement
Speaker 3: and what's put on this shitty chassis and that way
Speaker 3: drives around. But it's great, dude, And you didn't know.
Speaker 2: Very effective war th under vehicle arcade or realism.
Speaker 3: And the game doesn't tell you this, but there is
Speaker 3: a requirement when you play the chiah how long Gun.
Speaker 3: If you get a kill with it, you have to
Speaker 3: yell chi how long gun? Every time. That's a requirement
Speaker 3: you have to do it. That makes it way more enjoyable.
Speaker 3: And that might be why you don't love it so much.
Speaker 3: You've not done that, you know, maybe you're right.
Speaker 2: Maybe next Streme, that's just what we're going to do.
Speaker 2: There'll be a team every time too. It'll be good.
Speaker 1: So hopefully yeah, you're if you're listening a number one,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 1: Hopefully this gives you a good basic idea. But I
Speaker 1: also want to circle back to what I said before.
Speaker 1: If you are a listener of our podcast from one,
Speaker 1: thank you number two, drop your thoughts as well, because again,
Speaker 1: more people are coming to war th Under than you
Speaker 1: might think, because you know, we were talking last episode
Speaker 1: about how many play this first world of tanks and stuff,
Speaker 1: and just the fact that we're over here, like you
Speaker 1: can log into war th Under almost any given day
Speaker 1: and there's one hundred thousand active people.
Speaker 3: In the game, which is wild. Yeah, when you and I.
Speaker 2: Were playing this five ten years ago, nowhere near.
Speaker 3: The yeah, like twenty to forty thousand, maybe nowhere close.
Speaker 1: Like you get on steam dB and like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: seven thousand people on right now. Yeah, those days are
Speaker 1: gone and it's exciting. But this also is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for everybody out there to share as well what y'all think.
Speaker 1: And now we're going to jump into our next segment,
Speaker 1: which is a new event they're popping out with here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just announced this today, So if you're
Speaker 3: listening to the podcast, you probably listen to it on
Speaker 3: Friday or Saturday, so it will be a couple of
Speaker 3: days in the event. But yeah, They just announced a
Speaker 3: brand new Pakistani plane coming to the Old War Thunder
Speaker 3: and it's essentially just a Chinese made mid nineteen. How
Speaker 3: are there are some caveats to it? It seems like
Speaker 3: it has more hard points. They haven't exactly said, but
Speaker 3: it does get the American export a nine P which
Speaker 3: if it doesn't sound familiar, that's name nine J It's
Speaker 3: just exported, super super unique vehicle. I love the mid nineteen.
Speaker 3: The Farmer is one of the coolest, Like early Soviet jets.
Speaker 3: It out climbs everything and out everything. I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be fantastic. I you know, it's not gonna be amazing,
Speaker 3: especially for these like if you're a newer player and
Speaker 3: you bought your way to top tier. You know, most
Speaker 3: people love to go fly the hornet. You know, that's
Speaker 3: what they really like as an American player or like
Speaker 3: you know, on the new s uugh thirties or like
Speaker 3: a Mike twenty one or an F five or something,
Speaker 3: you know, because that's what they really push out in
Speaker 3: the promotional thing. But for all of our older guys
Speaker 3: that worked through the trees, you know, you might have
Speaker 3: a fond memory of the big nineteen and I think
Speaker 3: it's an interesting time to bring out a big nineteen
Speaker 3: with the strategic bombers that just hit, because that is
Speaker 3: gonna be a strategic bombing or bomber hunting machine, especially
Speaker 3: with those see that's nice, very grey dartments a right
Speaker 3: infra red misses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very curious when we were having this conversation
Speaker 1: a lot before the show, what br is it going
Speaker 1: to land at? Because you know, they just rolled out
Speaker 1: you know, Grandpa buff, they just rolled out the tu Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: But then you know, discussing number one, the ported missile's
Speaker 1: going to have the will it or will it not
Speaker 1: have counter measures? You and I were talking and then
Speaker 1: comparing it to things like the F four and stuff.
Speaker 1: Will this be a ten point zero, a ten three,
Speaker 1: a nine to seven. You know, there's very curiously where
Speaker 1: this plane is actually going to land. But just like you,
Speaker 1: it's you know, I hear a lot of people talk
Speaker 1: about whether there's nothing more they can add.
Speaker 2: To the game, and I disagree.
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of Cold War ranges still,
Speaker 1: so many unique things that can make a fun impact
Speaker 1: in the game, and this is one of them. Because
Speaker 1: depending on the tier, if they get the battle rating, right,
Speaker 1: this could be a really really fun plane to fly.
Speaker 3: Yeah and uh yeah. And what really irritates me is
Speaker 3: that I opened up you know, TikTok today and I
Speaker 3: see someone talking about it and all the comment section
Speaker 3: is like, wow, another event where it's just some medium
Speaker 3: like medium tier like Cold War era Soviet chet, Like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm like, come on, guys, like this
Speaker 3: is cool, like like this is stuff that you know,
Speaker 3: four years ago people would have been freaking out about
Speaker 3: it exactly.
Speaker 1: And that's what I've got is I gotta interrupt you.
Speaker 1: I know it's rude, but if y'all and I know
Speaker 1: y'all probably know this, but please help us share this
Speaker 1: out with so many people, for whatever reason, in the
Speaker 1: content creator community and the major war th Under community,
Speaker 1: there's this idea that everybody is flying basically br thirty
Speaker 1: guys gals. Most of the game isn't yeah, and they're
Speaker 1: excited and experiences, so enjoy it with them.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we shouldn't get more cool stuff,
Speaker 1: but it's not like high tier doesn't get stuff. MiG
Speaker 1: twenty nine sniper anybody that's a really good plane, right,
Speaker 1: you got that recently, So you know. It's the point
Speaker 1: of it is like, don't roll your eyes at another
Speaker 1: meg coming in, because that could be a unique fun experience,
Speaker 1: especially depending on you know, here's how I see it again.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is just my paradigm, but I know you
Speaker 1: kind of feel the same way. You've got a Russian design,
Speaker 1: Russian platform that was licensed by China using American weapons
Speaker 1: with Chinese radar, Like.
Speaker 2: That just mean, yeah, what has it does have a
Speaker 2: basic radar, isn't it.
Speaker 3: I don't know where they are the J six does.
Speaker 3: I would have to look. I don't think, well, the
Speaker 3: radar isn't gonna be useful if it does have radar,
Speaker 3: but it it doesn't. It doesn't have a nose, so
Speaker 3: I don't think it has radar. I think I'm not
Speaker 3: sure on that, but it wouldn't be in a use
Speaker 3: because it just gets IR missiles. So but hey, it's used.
Speaker 1: If you're like rev and you're not very good, you
Speaker 1: kind of need to know where everybody's at.
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair. Yeah, I'm not sure. The dev
Speaker 3: blog was kind of didn't really give a lot of
Speaker 3: information on it. I was mostly what I'm worried about
Speaker 3: is countermeasures. It gets countermeasures that's going to really push
Speaker 3: it up higher. In br AM nine p's are pretty good,
Speaker 3: but I mean, for example, the J six, the J
Speaker 3: six for China right now it already is it's nine
Speaker 3: to three, and then the the Russian mid nineteen is
Speaker 3: also nine to three. So this thing, if it's just
Speaker 3: a mid nineteen but with upgraded like a nine P
Speaker 3: instead of essentially like an A nine B, my brain
Speaker 3: would like to put at like nine to seven, but
Speaker 3: looking at the other vehicles around that rank, it might
Speaker 3: be ten oh ten to three. It just depends if
Speaker 3: his countermeasures might even be higher than that. So I'm
Speaker 3: actually super interested. I think it's gonna be an interesting vehicle,
Speaker 3: especially if you're newer to the game. It's free, it's
Speaker 3: only thirty five thousand mission score per mark this time.
Speaker 3: It's not forty five thousand like the last couple events
Speaker 3: have been, so it's gonna be an easier grind, and
Speaker 3: for a new player, I think it's really nice for
Speaker 3: guys to be adding stuff a little bit more medium
Speaker 3: mid tier, which you know, four years ago this was
Speaker 3: essentially top tier, but like now we're talking like a
Speaker 3: meet mid tier, very simple jet, not a lot going
Speaker 3: on at that pr You don't have to fight a
Speaker 3: bunch of crazy all aspect IRCCM Fox two's you don't
Speaker 3: have to fight Fox threes.
Speaker 1: Everybody's just using liker and cannons. Ye, to your point,
Speaker 1: what is it the F four c's at ten point zero? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Phantom c you know it's got no countermeasures.
Speaker 2: It has a ton of hard points, which and a vulcan.
Speaker 2: You know, it gives it and a vulcan.
Speaker 1: But this will have what if it's like the Jay
Speaker 1: six would have two twenty milimeter cannons on.
Speaker 3: It, right, I think the thirties thirty millimeters. Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: not the They're not the twenty three milimeter that the
Speaker 3: MIC twenty one gets. They're the well this, they're the
Speaker 3: thirty mili So I think I think you got like
Speaker 3: sixty to seventy rounds per cannon, pretty slow cyclic rate,
Speaker 3: but they are really nice cannon. Saying that something that.
Speaker 1: Has you know what, like a thirty three thousand feet
Speaker 1: a minute.
Speaker 4: Climb rate crazy crazy fa You're if you're a player
Speaker 4: who likes doing boom and zoom styles, this could definitely
Speaker 4: fit that for you, especially if you end up doing
Speaker 4: a lot of bomber hunting if you play sim missions
Speaker 4: things like that.
Speaker 1: That Again, this is why I get excited about it,
Speaker 1: because it opens up some cool opportunities for you to
Speaker 1: play that maybe in a way you weren't playing before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so yeah, I mean, and especially it really
Speaker 3: helps new players learn that certain type of play style too,
Speaker 3: because the mid nineteen is it's pretty unique, you know,
Speaker 3: at that same br you have, like you know, the
Speaker 3: American F one hundred is that kind of that br
Speaker 3: like you said, the early F four C which is
Speaker 3: pretty bad, but then the you know that you have
Speaker 3: the mid fifteens and the mid seventeens and the mid nineteen.
Speaker 3: It's kind of one of those vehicles that not a
Speaker 3: lot of people seem to play anymore because it is
Speaker 3: super unique. It doesn't turn well at all, but it
Speaker 3: is really fast and it climbs really well. And I
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a nice counter I think it's
Speaker 3: a nice complementary plane to the F one O six
Speaker 3: six shooter that we got in last year's event. That's
Speaker 3: about the same br as. This is gonna be maybe
Speaker 3: a little bit lower, but it's.
Speaker 2: One of six is a little similar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but very similar because it has a crazy yeah
Speaker 1: flying rate like I've got I've also got the city
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville's skin online. It's a fun plane to fly,
Speaker 1: but it's also one that I think is going to
Speaker 1: get to a degree outclassed by this MiG because maybe
Speaker 1: the missile that we're getting here.
Speaker 2: Is just pretty good, put it superior.
Speaker 1: It's a much better missile in late nine or even
Speaker 1: ten point zero half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's the same missile that the early
Speaker 3: phantoms get essentially. I mean it's an AM nine P,
Speaker 3: but that's exact same thing as a nine J and
Speaker 3: that's a pretty reliable missile. It's one of those missiles
Speaker 3: I tell people, if you got a mile and a
Speaker 3: half with closure and they don't flare, they're dead. It's
Speaker 3: just it's a very good, high high G pulling missile
Speaker 3: for low tier. And I think you compare that. Are
Speaker 3: you used speed wise? Not super fast? It doesn't burn
Speaker 3: super long either, so that's why I'm not close.
Speaker 2: It's a supersonic mock six or anything.
Speaker 3: No, it's probably MAK two and a half. If I
Speaker 3: had to guess, AM nine p's are pretty reliable and
Speaker 3: put that with a Farmer and the Chinese Tree, and
Speaker 3: that's gonna be pretty good because I mean, look at
Speaker 3: the Chinese tree right now, you have nothing. There is
Speaker 3: not a Chinese vehicle between nine oh and ten seven
Speaker 3: in terms of event vehicles. I mean, we had the
Speaker 3: F one hundred F which was the two seaters Super Saber,
Speaker 3: but that was two years ago, two or three years
Speaker 3: ago that we had that. So China has not had
Speaker 3: an event vehicle in the last couple of years of
Speaker 3: this kind of BR And I think it's a nice
Speaker 3: thing because China is really missing out on a lot
Speaker 3: of vehicles at rank six, and I think it'll be
Speaker 3: I think it'll be pretty solid. I think it's gonna
Speaker 3: be ranked six. I'd have to go back and look,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they're adding it to rank six
Speaker 3: or ranked seven. That that all kind of helped decide
Speaker 3: what BR it's gonna be. But I think it's a
Speaker 3: good event and it's definitely not what I suspected. You know,
Speaker 3: it's kind of a cool and it's it's one of
Speaker 3: those planes that I didn't make, no existed.
Speaker 2: Event planes aside.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of how many planes they even
Speaker 1: have in the China Tree in that range, and I'm
Speaker 1: only thinking of like three right now as.
Speaker 3: They have they have a bunch of MiG nineteens they have, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they have the American Exported line, which has like the
Speaker 3: F one hundred and the F one o four, and
Speaker 3: then they have MiG nineteens. I think they haven't a
Speaker 3: J seven, which is an early fish bed, and then
Speaker 3: they have more Q five which are just mid nineteens essentially.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's you might say.
Speaker 2: That China play just several times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, essentially. I mean the Q five is a little
Speaker 3: bit more of a the Tack variant, but yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I think it's cool. It's it's April, Like
Speaker 3: we were saying this, it's a busy time of the year.
Speaker 3: People got a lot of stuff going on right now,
Speaker 3: and a nice chill lower mission score required event, A
Speaker 3: mid tier I think is going to be kind of
Speaker 3: nice for it right now, and I'm kind of excited
Speaker 3: for it. I think it'll be good and I imagine
Speaker 3: a lot of people will get it. It probably will sell,
Speaker 3: probably not for super a lot, but if someone out
Speaker 3: there wants to just get an easy grind out there,
Speaker 3: I would imagine it'll go for like twenty thirty dollars
Speaker 3: at some point on the marketplace too, so like as
Speaker 3: long as they let us sell it, which I imagine
Speaker 3: they'll be an upgrade coupon for it. I don't actually
Speaker 3: knowing that, I'd have to look, but it usually is
Speaker 3: for the event vehicles, so I think it'll be kind
Speaker 3: of unique, and I'm kind of excited to see it,
Speaker 3: and I think it's a nice break, especially after we
Speaker 3: just came out of the April Fools event with everything
Speaker 3: being top tier and top up to your top tier
Speaker 3: top tier. It's kind of a nice chime of a
Speaker 3: chill thing.
Speaker 1: And then we've also got remember because you come May
Speaker 1: for those who haven't followed for a while, and May
Speaker 1: you're also going to have them throw blue water at
Speaker 1: you again because that's when they always put the des
Speaker 1: Moines back on.
Speaker 2: Sale and stuff.
Speaker 1: So it's also a good to me, a good kind
Speaker 1: of wrap up of what we just had the past
Speaker 1: few weeks in terms of event vehicles. I think this
Speaker 1: is a good capper before we start a different style
Speaker 1: set and then you get deep into the summer and
Speaker 1: that's going to even change even further. So I think
Speaker 1: this is a good end to kind of think of it,
Speaker 1: kind of like playing the game quarterly. Yeah, look at
Speaker 1: the planes that we've got, and this is a good
Speaker 1: capper to end where we're currently at and then start
Speaker 1: that new.
Speaker 3: Set essentially on the on the come down from the
Speaker 3: ramp up around the holiday season, and we're getting into
Speaker 3: the point of the year where we're sort of just
Speaker 3: like simmering down. You get the Anniversary or the May
Speaker 3: Sail that coming up soon too, which would be nice.
Speaker 3: Premium should be going on sale again and all that
Speaker 3: stuff and vehicles be coming back for that and Sully.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be ramping up to the beginning of the
Speaker 3: fall updates where there's really going to start growing and growing,
Speaker 3: and then who knows what we're gonna get this year.
Speaker 3: So I think, well, heck, we.
Speaker 2: Still believe that we're going to get infantry and fifth Gen.
Speaker 3: This year, so well, like fifth Gen, I think they
Speaker 3: said next year.
Speaker 2: Now they finally come back and say that.
Speaker 3: A few months ago. Yeah, I think for me the
Speaker 3: death on the dev blog a few months ago they
Speaker 3: said that the guigen's not officially said this, but the
Speaker 3: dev blog guys said not until twenty twenty seven, but
Speaker 3: who knows, you know, you can't really trust it.
Speaker 1: Is twenty twenty seven though, Like even if it is
Speaker 1: still too soon, still.
Speaker 2: Only a year away and that's a massive jump from work.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so yeah, I think yeah. I think this
Speaker 3: new April Fool's event they had, I think needs to
Speaker 3: be needs to be tweaked a little bit. And they
Speaker 3: said it's going to be coming back as kind of
Speaker 3: like a like a semi seasonal thing with tweaks until
Speaker 3: they finally added to the game full time. I think
Speaker 3: that mode needs to come out and be rock solid
Speaker 3: with big maps and a lot of multi roll options
Speaker 3: before fifth Gen comes out. I think, yeah, a year
Speaker 3: might even be too soon in my opinion, but people
Speaker 3: want to structure.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so excited for that event structure to be
Speaker 1: a permanent thing, Man's.
Speaker 3: I think it'll bring a lot of people in the
Speaker 3: realistic battles, a lot of guys like you and your community,
Speaker 3: and people starting off with a game who play arcade
Speaker 3: just because you get all those different spawns and you
Speaker 3: can try out all your different vehicles. You don't have
Speaker 3: to worry about being super sweaty in one life or
Speaker 3: you have to go back and queue into another game.
Speaker 3: That new event structure could really bring in a lot
Speaker 3: of people into realistic battles, which kind of might help
Speaker 3: conglomerate the community a little bit and not spread people
Speaker 3: out as much.
Speaker 1: By the way, it comes full circle, why things like
Speaker 1: this new meg is actually very good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because what br is it? Right around these levels
Speaker 2: that we're talking about with this event.
Speaker 1: So perfect thing to cap into once we get there,
Speaker 1: and also moves us into let's get into the nitty
Speaker 1: gritty of your favorite subject.
Speaker 3: Oh missile, what do you want to talk about the
Speaker 3: missile that's coming out with it?
Speaker 2: What you specifically? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, because we had a and this is a PSA
Speaker 1: for everybody who listens to this again, we can't thank
Speaker 1: you if we had a great comment from a player
Speaker 1: named Colin earlier and you and I were talking about
Speaker 1: it and they were asking about, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: understand missiles and radars from a console player's perspective. And
Speaker 1: while we don't have that answer right now, let me
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell you call on anybody else listening.
Speaker 2: We will bring people here.
Speaker 1: We will either find the knowledge or we will we
Speaker 1: know somebody who has knowledge, and we're going to bring
Speaker 1: that to you, But how does that affect, you know,
Speaker 1: in terms of the missile itself, not just this one,
Speaker 1: but in particular, I want to give you the platform
Speaker 1: or you the opportunity to really speak number one, why
Speaker 1: you're excited about this missile, how it's slightly different than
Speaker 1: some of the other ones at the same br and
Speaker 1: why it's going to be just you know what's just
Speaker 1: say what it is, it's going to be fun.
Speaker 2: Tell the people why.
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be fantastic. And I think it's
Speaker 3: one of those missiles that a lot of people look
Speaker 3: over because you think of early US produced missiles and
Speaker 3: you think of like the AM nine B and you
Speaker 3: think of the AM nine E, and both of those
Speaker 3: are not fantastic. But the J was the next step up,
Speaker 3: and that is like the first missile you get for
Speaker 3: the US tree where it really starts feeling like, hey,
Speaker 3: this is better than the other ones, Like hey, you
Speaker 3: know it's gonna it doesn't have ir c CM, which
Speaker 3: for the people who don't know what that is, it's
Speaker 3: your you know, at your counter countermeasure for your IR.
Speaker 3: So later missiles gets IRCCM, they can kind of ignore
Speaker 3: flares This doesn't have that, but it it kind of
Speaker 3: pulls like you would expect a higher to your missile
Speaker 3: the poll. You just have to watch out for those flares.
Speaker 3: But like I said earlier, if you're if you got
Speaker 3: one mile a mile and a half with closure and
Speaker 3: they're not paying attention, this missile's gonna hit them. And
Speaker 3: I think that's a fantastic thing to pair with a
Speaker 3: mid nineteen because the mid nineteen you're probably gonna be
Speaker 3: climbing up to twenty thirty thousand feet and you're gonna
Speaker 3: be proud u pouncing on people when they're not expecting it,
Speaker 3: and you're it compresses that planeive compresses pretty bad. You
Speaker 3: do have an air brake which can help slow your
Speaker 3: speed down. But this is gonna be a nice missile
Speaker 3: to come in nice and fast. You don't have to
Speaker 3: get your nose right on them, you don't have to
Speaker 3: get perfectly like lined up. It is just one of
Speaker 3: those nice, kind of really complimentary missiles to a nice.
Speaker 1: If you are a boom and zoom style planet, you'll
Speaker 1: love this.
Speaker 3: You'll love this event. Yeah and yeah, and and I'm
Speaker 3: trying to think of what else The AM nine P
Speaker 3: is on it's always on exported planes. But if you've
Speaker 3: used the American j's as the exact same thing, I
Speaker 3: think a nine p's are also on the early F fives, Like, yes,
Speaker 3: they are, so like the early exported F five. So
Speaker 3: any F five that's that's not American F five that's
Speaker 3: early like all the ten seven ones, those all have
Speaker 3: the same missile. So you're talking about a missile that
Speaker 3: is on some people most like beloved plane, the F five,
Speaker 3: especially all the premium F fives essentially had the exact
Speaker 3: same missile. The American F five C has a name
Speaker 3: nine J which is the same missile. So it is a.
Speaker 1: Missile that and maybe some of the viewers will see
Speaker 1: this as a negative, but this is a missile that
Speaker 1: is essentially a bar higher than the plane itself.
Speaker 3: Yes, so it is a it's one of those event
Speaker 3: vehicles where you have an older plane with a tier
Speaker 3: higher missile attached to it. So it's going to be
Speaker 3: somewhere in between those those tiers, like we predicted, somewhere
Speaker 3: nine seven, ten to three, somewhere in there, depending if
Speaker 3: it more information comes out, if has countermeasures, probably won't,
Speaker 3: and how many hard points it gets.
Speaker 1: But if they give it countermeasures, that thing could make
Speaker 1: it all the way to ten sevens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And looking at the pictures they released of it,
Speaker 3: like the loading screen of it, it seems like it
Speaker 3: has more than the early mid nineteen, the Russian MiG nineteen.
Speaker 3: We don't even talk about the German MC nineteen. It
Speaker 3: gets nothing and no missile is nothing. Don't don't even
Speaker 3: bother your time with that. But the Russian mid nineteen
Speaker 3: it only has those two hard points. Maybe maybe for
Speaker 3: some of I think the Chinese one might be able
Speaker 3: to have like two baby rocket pods on it, but
Speaker 3: this one looks like it has drop tanks, it has
Speaker 3: the missile pilons, and I think it has an inner
Speaker 3: next to fuselage pylon for even like cast options. So
Speaker 3: I think it'll be good. It'll be good for ground.
Speaker 3: And you know, thinking of what China has at that BR,
Speaker 3: you really other than the A fives and the Q fives,
Speaker 3: you don't really have a good cast plane. So especially
Speaker 3: if if you like playing Chinese ground at that BR
Speaker 3: and you're like, you know, I've never had the money
Speaker 3: to spend on a Shinyang or an A five, or
Speaker 3: you've not had time to grind your way up to ten. Oh,
Speaker 3: because the Chinese tree is not a slouch. I mean
Speaker 3: there's quite a few vehicles that get up to ten
Speaker 3: three tenths to Oh. This might just give you the
Speaker 3: castplane that you need, so people can look at it
Speaker 3: in a bunch of different ways. It doesn't just get
Speaker 3: air to air missiles, so it'll be a good of
Speaker 3: it'll it'll match well for RB players and ground RB players.
Speaker 3: And yeah, and that missile is I mean, it's one
Speaker 3: of the cooler mid tier missiles. It's one of my favorite,
Speaker 3: more reliable missiles at early tier. And I mean I
Speaker 3: would rather have it over any Soviet option that it
Speaker 3: could have gotten. So I don't think it's bad. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean you're it's I would yeah, I would take
Speaker 3: the A nine PM nine J over the R sixty
Speaker 3: all day long. You know. Let's think of it kind
Speaker 3: of like an R sixty might not pull quite as
Speaker 3: hard as an R sixty. I would have to look
Speaker 3: at the g I would imagine they're within five g's
Speaker 3: of each other. But it has the range of a
Speaker 3: sidewinder with that harder pull, So I think it'll be fantastic.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and yeah, I get us talking about it.
Speaker 1: I pulled up the graphic from the and I was
Speaker 1: zoomed in like three hundred percent. I really look at
Speaker 1: the underbelly of this Pakistani meg and oh no, I'm very,
Speaker 1: very curious now what all these attachments are going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could see that it has quite a you.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't want to like lock in and just
Speaker 1: say something because I don't want to be wrong. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: from the looks of it, this is gonna have more
Speaker 1: than just a standard you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, they the devlog was kind of
Speaker 3: limit like, not a lot of information on it. Looking
Speaker 3: at the A five, I would say, you know, that's
Speaker 3: also a Chinese kind of messed with mid nineteen. This
Speaker 3: looks like it has hard points in the same location,
Speaker 3: so I would imagine it's gonna have six hard points.
Speaker 3: Two outer ones will probably be just air to air,
Speaker 3: but you could bring rockets. I'm sure you'll might. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's gonna get the underbelly bomb pylons
Speaker 3: at the eight like the A five Q five gets,
Speaker 3: but I think it'll be it'll be the nice mixture
Speaker 3: between two. Think of it like a mid nineteen mixed
Speaker 3: with an A five if you've have flown the A
Speaker 3: five before. But it also gets drop tanks, which is
Speaker 3: kind of interesting, at least in the pictures it has
Speaker 3: drop tanks, and I don't think I'm MiG nineteen in
Speaker 3: the game right now has drop tanks, so how many?
Speaker 3: That thing will be pretty good for sim battles too,
Speaker 3: if you really want to hunt some of these strategic
Speaker 3: bombers that are flying around, because I know a lot
Speaker 3: of my chat was telling me this week how good
Speaker 3: the B fifty two and the t U ninety five
Speaker 3: are in air sim. They're dominating air sim because they
Speaker 3: have such payload that you can just really destroy the
Speaker 3: enemy team's bases. And you know, AirSim it's bombers are
Speaker 3: always been very good because you have that mouse aim
Speaker 3: tail gunner even though everyone else is trying to aim
Speaker 3: with simulator controls. So this might be a really good
Speaker 3: plane with a lot of range. You have that amazing
Speaker 3: climb rate, I mean, paired with fuel pods, you have
Speaker 3: a hell of a range and good missiles, and we
Speaker 3: know how hot the B fifty two and the t
Speaker 3: U ninety five bear are. I mean, those missiles will
Speaker 3: not miss them unless they are really paying attention. But
Speaker 3: I think it'll be fantastic. I think it's a I
Speaker 3: think people are kind of looking past the fact that
Speaker 3: it's not top tier or it's not a brand new vehicle.
Speaker 3: People are already saying, Oh, it's just another copy paste
Speaker 3: or oh it's just another mid tier jet that cares about.
Speaker 3: I think I think Guiageen was really cooking and they
Speaker 3: knew what they were doing because they added strategic bombers
Speaker 3: and we had a very high tier event. So like
Speaker 3: that added these strategic bombers, and they're like, we need
Speaker 3: something that kind of like helps counter the fact that
Speaker 3: there's now hundreds of thousand strategic bombers in the mix,
Speaker 3: So let's add something that's going to be fantastic at
Speaker 3: hunting them down. And I think that's why they chose
Speaker 3: this event. I think it was very calculated on Gaidgeant's
Speaker 3: guides side.
Speaker 1: Something that I want to speak positive about this event
Speaker 1: that actually I haven't heard you or any of the
Speaker 1: other secs talk about, is that if you decide to
Speaker 1: do this event milestone, and you decided to use GE,
Speaker 1: depending on how far you've made it in your milestone,
Speaker 1: you get a discount yeah cost so previously you did
Speaker 1: ninety you said, Heckett, I'm not going to finish. You
Speaker 1: spent nine hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Gordon.
Speaker 3: It's always been this way here, are you sure? Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's always.
Speaker 1: Because I've definitely spent none own buff and I was
Speaker 1: fifty percent downe.
Speaker 2: With that event.
Speaker 3: Well, the buff didn't, but these normal events, so that
Speaker 3: April Fools event didn't. But these normal events always have
Speaker 3: that discount. So yeah, the discount is back.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: They may have adjusted other percentage. I've not looked into it,
Speaker 3: but yeah, so.
Speaker 2: The percentage is well, it'll vary.
Speaker 1: It can be reduced up to five different times, and
Speaker 1: then the other aspect.
Speaker 3: Five different times, not just two times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll read it directly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's say you have earned eighty five percent of
Speaker 1: the required mission points to complete the stage. The price
Speaker 1: of purchasing the stage behalfd If you're near the finish
Speaker 1: line first stage at ninety five, the price will be
Speaker 1: reduced by five times.
Speaker 2: So it is twice okay, but it's up to a
Speaker 2: factor of.
Speaker 3: Ye, so does it does it do four? Does it
Speaker 3: go nine? Nine? Nine to four ninety nine and then
Speaker 3: one nine go?
Speaker 2: So the lowest it can be is one, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: haven't completed it, okay.
Speaker 1: And then just because you mentioned it earlier, not knowing
Speaker 1: the coupon, So if you want to be able to
Speaker 1: sell it on the marketplace, yeah, there's an event that
Speaker 1: will be running coinciding with this from the fifteenth to
Speaker 1: the twenty ninth.
Speaker 2: Okay, six hundred thousand mission points. If you complete that,
Speaker 2: that will give you the upgrade for coupont. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you want to sell it on the marketplace.
Speaker 3: So that's how they normally do it. I just didn't
Speaker 3: know if they were doing it. I think that's last event.
Speaker 3: I think that was seven hundred and fifty thousand, so
Speaker 3: but still, six hundred thousand mission score is a hell
Speaker 3: of a lot of mission score. But hey, some people.
Speaker 2: Pay ye two weeks to do it.
Speaker 3: You have do have two weeks to do it, and
Speaker 3: some people some people do that where they do these
Speaker 3: events where they don't really want the vehicle. They'll grind
Speaker 3: that out, sell it on the marketplace, and when the
Speaker 3: sale comes they'll use they'll just buy a year premium
Speaker 3: like they just sort of keep their year of premium
Speaker 3: on on tap by just selling event vehicles. So Okay,
Speaker 3: so it is back. The discount thing is they usually
Speaker 3: do that, but it depends on the event. They don't
Speaker 3: always do it, like with the buff and teen ninety
Speaker 3: five they didn't do it, but sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I just miss it a lot because
Speaker 1: I'm not used to that somebody. And look, y'all can
Speaker 1: judge me in the comments. It's fine, y'all could be
Speaker 1: listening to this in your truck on the way to work.
Speaker 2: You can talk about how much of a well I am.
Speaker 2: I am notorious for being like, man, I'm just not
Speaker 2: in the mood. Ge bam hit the button.
Speaker 3: I did it real bad. I did the exact same
Speaker 3: thing with the B fifty two and the two ninety
Speaker 3: five with the last mark, I did every mark. But
Speaker 3: then they that last couple of days of the April
Speaker 3: Fool's event, they decided, Hey, you know, your favorite thing
Speaker 3: about this is that how much PvP you get to do. Well,
Speaker 3: now we're gonna make it so you get no you
Speaker 3: get no no nuke score essentially from pvping, so you know,
Speaker 3: go screw yourself. And I'm like, all right, well, I
Speaker 3: guess I guess I'm I guess I'm.
Speaker 2: What got me into the event.
Speaker 1: I was I was having fun with my raining F
Speaker 1: fourteen with unlimited lives, able to actually experience essentially air
Speaker 1: realism at you know thirteen, and they were.
Speaker 2: Like, nah, you're not doing that more. So I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, fine, take my golden Eagles. I will
Speaker 2: do it anymore.
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, unfortunately most people can't do it do
Speaker 3: which is just give the sale back what it gave us.
Speaker 3: But I know a lot of people, I mean even,
Speaker 3: I mean all my everybodies who only play air. They
Speaker 3: all told me they bought the last mark too, because
Speaker 3: they're like, we played two games and we got nowhere
Speaker 3: near where we need to be. So I'm just like,
Speaker 3: what we all won't just all?
Speaker 1: But this is also why I get excited with the
Speaker 1: discount structure, as in, like the further you progress, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can skip some of that.
Speaker 2: I like when they do that, because look, I get it, y'all.
Speaker 1: I understand free to play games are frustrating, But when
Speaker 1: I tell y'all that guiding is not the.
Speaker 2: Worst, please please listen to me.
Speaker 1: There are some out there that will not only not
Speaker 1: lower the price, they'll double the price and tell you
Speaker 1: that you're getting a good value. Yeah, just again when
Speaker 1: I see things like that, not that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: condone every plane should be spent. I think that every
Speaker 1: plane should have objectively, objectively easy free to play pass,
Speaker 1: as in, if you put in a decent amount of time,
Speaker 1: you can get it without spending a dollar. I really
Speaker 1: do appreciate when you can combine those two things versus
Speaker 1: it just being oh, you want the mid nineteen or
Speaker 1: in this case the F six C, grind fifteen hours
Speaker 1: or give us thirty dollars. I like that there's a
Speaker 1: mixture option here for people, depending on what your life is.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've got work or school and you don't have
Speaker 1: that time, but you and have some golden eagles laying
Speaker 1: around left over from your last purchase, you know, and
Speaker 1: you throw them in there to finish it, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever works.
Speaker 3: Interesting you say that that you would like people to
Speaker 3: be able to get anything with just a shitload of work.
Speaker 3: I'm actually kind of curious if you would be interested
Speaker 3: in somehow guide and adding away for you to make
Speaker 3: ge very slowly and passively, so off the course of
Speaker 3: like a year or six months of playing every single day,
Speaker 3: if you could get a premium vehicle because you've earned
Speaker 3: enough premium credits. Because there used to be a thing
Speaker 3: in war Thunder called the Golden Eagle wagers where you
Speaker 3: could pop like a wager kind of like the best
Speaker 3: squad wager we have now, but you could earn ge
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 2: And I don't think, by the way, that's the best
Speaker 2: wager in the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, best squad is great. It is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the best wager great. You have to have friends, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you gotta have friends. Friends, it's the best wager in
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 3: Are not to throw anyone that doesn't have friends.
Speaker 2: Players.
Speaker 3: They all those four guys who just started playing by themselves, Like,
Speaker 3: screw these guys, man, we have a.
Speaker 1: Squol We both have Squadron more than Welk would have
Speaker 1: joined us if we all want to come fly with us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they got rid of those. I don't think
Speaker 3: that you can earn Golden Eagle wagers anymore. I might
Speaker 3: be wrong, but I've not gotten that a long time away.
Speaker 1: So closest we have to grinding for premiums not being
Speaker 1: in events would be the Squadron seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Squadron set.
Speaker 1: And that's a group thing, like you really need to
Speaker 1: have your entire group, earning thirty six hundred points in
Speaker 1: the time span to now I've done it.
Speaker 2: Like that's how I got.
Speaker 1: My F one one seven, which if you like CAST,
Speaker 1: that's about all it's good for.
Speaker 2: It's great in ground realism CAST.
Speaker 3: If you want two kills, maybe, yeah, there are better options,
Speaker 3: but it is you. It's cool to find. It is cool.
Speaker 1: The main point is never take it into air no reason.
Speaker 3: I feel like TK and then when I see him
Speaker 3: in ERA sometimes I'm like, why are you even bringing
Speaker 3: the nighthawk in here? Like what are we doing? Like
Speaker 3: it is so cool though, I mean, it's cool, but
Speaker 3: it's useless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's very useful.
Speaker 1: It can be useful if you do ground RB as CAST,
Speaker 1: it could be very good with that with it.
Speaker 3: And I love what you bring up the nighthawkse this
Speaker 3: new this new F six C that's coming out at
Speaker 3: the new event. It's gonna be fantastic at killing nighthawks
Speaker 3: because they think they're safe cruising up there below the
Speaker 3: cons and you'll come in at mock one two and
Speaker 3: hit them with an A nine piece. So yeah, the
Speaker 3: nighthawk is cool. That's all it's got going for it.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the Comanche. It's just kind of cool,
Speaker 3: you know, like until they actually killed Guiden knows how
Speaker 3: to do stealth properly.
Speaker 2: Then look every now and then there's like it's kind
Speaker 2: of like helicopters.
Speaker 1: There's like seven war Thunder players who were absolutely cracked
Speaker 1: with helicopters.
Speaker 2: Same through the Nighthawk.
Speaker 1: There's like seven people out there who absolutely insanely cracked,
Speaker 1: who are.
Speaker 2: Like GBU and F sixteen something. But it's not us.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that it ain't.
Speaker 3: There's one guy out there in more Thunder that sees
Speaker 3: himself as the number one Nighthawk player in the world.
Speaker 3: And you know what, power to celebrate?
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: Power to out.
Speaker 2: There make yourself knowing we will celebrate you.
Speaker 1: Will shoot us a replay game where you just you
Speaker 1: number one and you go with the nighthawk.
Speaker 2: Will we'll brag about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If you send me a screenshot of you being
Speaker 3: the number one Nighthawk player in the world, I'll send
Speaker 3: you a T shirt.
Speaker 1: Hell if you send us a recording of you earning
Speaker 1: a nuke with.
Speaker 3: One, Oh my god, if you merch too, we'll load up.
Speaker 2: Will load you up there's your challenge for the week.
Speaker 3: Now this podcast turned into a bounty for the best
Speaker 3: nighthawk flarity.
Speaker 2: But that's what we're supposed to do here. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: want to have fun. The game should be fun.
Speaker 3: It's something for everybody. Yeah, And I think, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: something worth under for everybody. And I think that's kind
Speaker 3: of the premise of this whole this whole episode is
Speaker 3: that if you're starting off warth Under and you're looking
Speaker 3: for a tree to start off in, there is something
Speaker 3: for everybody. Not everybody is the same. And this event
Speaker 3: being out. If you're out, if you're one of those

Speaker 3: saying screw this copy paste thing, screw this shitty event,
Speaker 3: just remember that someone is super excited for and there's
Speaker 3: something for everybody. That might not be for the top
Speaker 3: tier players out there, but there are people that are
Speaker 3: going to be excited for this event. I'm one of those.
