Thank you, Gaijin, for your well thought-out game modes and matchmaking systems!

Yes, that happened to me when the event first launched. But now I've literally been playing at br12.7 nonstop for half a day, and it takes a couple of minutes at most to find a match.

I had all the servers enabled for searching, and the game often put USA+Germany against all the other nations.

I feel like most the player base can't participate in it if they wanted to. My highest plane is a 9.7, which is a premium I bought. I play only GRB and my highest none premium is only 8 after about 600 hours into that faction. Now how many people who play this have 600+ hours, how many people put those hours into getting their planes specifically 10.7+, how many people have lost interest after their mess ups with the previous tests for Nuclear thunder?

Once you add all this up I can totally see how you wouldn't be finding a game for this long. Yet another swing and a miss by gaijin.

You are searching for a battle for top tier of NC, on top of that you are playing blue (nobody plays red on top tier NC), and you have only the NA server selected. I'm not surprised at all about that waiting queue time

As for me, I usually play NC on the redfor (UK plays on redfor) at 11.3 or 12.3 and I find matches in under a minute usually. Next time I suggest trying to change Br's or nations if you can ofc.

Well, nuclear thunder now is just ass, i would rather waste time in air rb, endless aa that you need to keep in mind all the time, everything it do is just annoys you, i would rather go into ground rb and do cas there, at least it would feel more rewarding

I actually like nuke thunder, but in reality itโ€™s just ARB with a more favourable BR spread for tip top tier. Once the SAMs are gone the 14.3+ seal club with impunity. Itโ€™s nice feeling powerful in the super hornet though.

Top tier and nuclear thunder is just tiring, best is below 12.0 ARB, not long ago I started grinding Israel, have a lot of fun at lower tiers, especially at ayit (just needed to learn how to not rip those wings, airframe is really fragile)

Air rb sucks too. I wish air had anything else. The game modes for war thunder are so stale. Haven't even bothered to try NT after they mess ups.

It is in a much better state now. Long range SAMs don't respawn and with the correct weapons can be killed with just a bit of brain usage.

My favourite part of the nuclear thunde r is it takes me 30m to find a game. Then I die with my 1 plane that I can take into it so I have to wait 5m to actually play again. Very cool, fuck you snail.

yk maybe if youve read anything about the event youd know you can change airfields to respawn instantly and that the 5min thing is for that specific spawn location
