WG, IF YOU DON'T WANT FRAKING GAA IN THE GAME JUST FRAKING NUKE THE WHOLE SLOT & BE DONE WITH IT!
Hi all, Fliyntiger here, joined up in 7/2013, just when open beta started, between then & now, probably close to 5k missions over all, mostly in the TSH-2, I like Ground attack, I'm good at it, but all the time & effort I've put into my plane has been FRAKIN nerfed beyond all reason with this update!
I wait for the downloads to finish, ( yea WOT just had to update as well ) do all the log-in stuff. start looking at my hanger.
Go to "Service tab" Only Cockpit & airframe are highlighted. Clicking on cockpit doesn't do anything, click on airframe.
Frak… I lost my self seal tank, my armor plate, my reinforced airframe, do the only thing I can, mount stock polished skin
Go to update notes. ok, self seal has been replaced by "stock engine armor protection" go back to service tab...
AND BECAUSE THE FRAKING ENGINE ICON IS GRAYED OUT, I CAN'T FRAKING LOAD THE ARMOR PROTECTION!!!
And now I'm beginning to have a bad feeling about this.. Engine, guns, turret & outboard weapons icons are all grayed out. I can't even change my ammo type.
Head over to settings, cause I'm pretty sure all my advanced setting went out the window, like they do every time a major update comes down the pike. Yep.. change mouse back to joystick, go to change the pitch/yaw to suit my flying style... What the Frak? It won't save my input settings..Fine, cancel & get back out to hanger & start. Game loads, reasonable time, fortress scenario. Game starts, I boost for garrison, get some height, roll in on the 4 square tents, fire off a 5 sec burst....
No Effect.. What the Frak? Pull out, bank over & pickle the AA gun that chewing up my armor, 10 sec burst... Not even burning.. Now I'm getting annoyed..
Roll back in on the Tents, 1, only 1 blows after a 20 sec burst.
Get the "enemy on your tail warning", kill my throttle, lift the nose to dump speed, Type 91 overshoots me, banks slightly, levels out.. "bot" I smile, kick the rudder right & line up right behind him, 400 feet out pull the trigger..I'm hittin him, but he's not fraking dropping points! After almost 30 seconds of sustained fire from 2 fuselage & 8 outboard 7.62 guns, he finally breaks up & spirals in..
I'm thinking "What the Frak, I could drop a type 91 in seven seconds before the update" & go back to try taking out ground targets, I say try because the AA gun I was targeting took 35 seconds to blow up.
By now, I am getting a bit.. irritated. But hey, the games over we won, back to the hanger.. with abysmal statistics.
2nd game, same results in damage, except that the game went wonky, I lost control, crashed, then Black screen of death until end of game, back to hanger.
Cleared all caches, shut down, restart computer..
3rd game, crashed while getting too close to an AA gun (25 sec burst, no result) Black screen of death..Fraking Again...
My Elite pilot skills are : Eagle Eye, Protection Expert, Marksman 2 (upgrade from Marksman 1).
My Elite Gunner skills are : Armorer, Ballistic Expert, Quick Reflexes, Precision Gunner.
SO WG, I ASK, "WHAT THE FRAK DID YOU DO? I WENT FROM BEING A SKY ORCA TO A DUMBO TARGET IN 1 UPDATE!"
And the worst thing is, I know that they will want me to delete & reload the game..yet again...
I've put a lot of time & some money into this, got about 100 days of premium left..
and I'm so disgusted right now, I'm this close to hanging up my flight jacket & locking the hanger doors
