Joke Of The Year

[Cheyenn]

Was over at War Thunder checking out there web site and forums and came across this!!
http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/173355-golden-joystick-awards-vote-for-war-thunder/
Now to me this has to the Joke of the year. A acrade game up for an award, and the game as I read in thier
forums is so broken.
Now if a game should get an award it should be Aces High 2, which will always be better then War Thunder.

Just like the music industry. (How pathetic)

Today we market to 13 year old boys and girls.

13 year old boys and girls run the gaming and music industry.

It is not about what is the "best" it is about what is most "popular" among teens and what the producers promote to you in order to achive the "most popular" games + songs.

Unfortunately cheesy bullhonkey is the new popular style. Companies, music industries, and the media have screwed up children's brains to make them believe the only music/games they hear about on the radio is the only music/game that ever existed. What was the song of the year last year??? Who the hell knows, they probably don't even play it on the radio anymore. It is about winning the hearts of young teens with BS music and cheesy games that are coming out today, not yesterday,  because this is the easiest market to control, persuade, and convince, while making a ton of money, and only having to put an half bellybutton effort into it because they don't understand what it is yet.

The funny thing is the age you guessed is completely accurate. I was reading an article about how the Top 10 Albums on iTunes were 90% chosen by customers between the ages of 12-14.

As for the content of the music 

When you have time look up the name "Ice JJ Fish". He held number 1 album on iTunes for 2 weeks, it is complete comedy. The sad thing about it is this guy "Ice JJ Fish" is completely serious.

On another note, my little brother is 13 years old and he plays War Thunder. I tried to get him to play Aces High, he played for about a month and cried about it being too hard to get a kill so he went back to War Thunder where he outturns A6M's in P38's.

I can't take any game seriously when the community has so much 'anime' it looks like the game should be in subtitles.

While the AH community can be childish or a few members can even be complete 'Richard Craniums', this place is still much better.

What bothers me is, I can remember in Warbirds when I was there the general consensus was similar talking about the difference between WBs and here.

On some level that is true. But on another level in WT the arcade is 99% and full realism is 1% of player base. And I have to say full realism with no icons and dar sucks totally unless you have trackir/oculus and probably sucks even after that since it's extremely difficult to see distant planes from a monitor compared to real life.

I tried WT full realism and had to take something akin to Sopwith Camel. Took an eternity to fly to the fight zone and then I got bounced by a La-5 that I never saw that cut my wing off in 1 pass. Even if I saw the La-5 I would never be able to kill it with the biplane. So that experience put me off on WT totally. And yes, pay to win is not my cup of tea. Not going to invest a dime to pay for a higher tier plane.

World of tanks has got it more right, it places low tier tanks against eachothers and starts to mix tiers only after tier III. Unfortunately also there you often get totally off balance fights with tier 4 vs tier 7 so that your tier 4 has zero chance to penetrate the tier 7 tank from any angle or distance while the other has 1 hit kill capability from all angles.

Actually the Tier spread is two tiers.   So a tier 5 tank could fight as high as 7 and as low as 3.  The exception to this is scouts and Arty's which can have a 3 tier spread after tier 3.

Helm ...out

Doesn't matter, the spread is big enough to cause the lower tier tank to be totally helpless unless it uses gold ammo. I think this is their motive for the system also, to force more players into using premium gear and gold ammo. A game doesn't get any worse when it has legalized cheating implemented through pay2win.
