I know some of you play this. There are no alternatives.

Ships just came out, along with helicopters. Helicopters require a long grind, but ships are now playable by everyone for free right out of the gate. (It was behind a paywall before.) The servers crashed the day they released it (yesterday) but they are back up now.

I haven't seen a war thunder thread ever, I've seen plenty of other shit MMO threads, but never a war thunder one. I think it's a decent game, it's not DCS, but it's the only other game even close and it's a million times more popular.

The best part is you get to seal club consolefags, they all have a "*" next to their name, to clearly indicate they are using an inferior control scheme and will die easily.

i have a good time with it. there's a grind but the best games are the low tiers anyway, if you grind all the way up to the jets, jets suck and nobody plays them. all the shit you can buy really doesn't matter "premium" planes that give you more of the in-game currency and research points used to get new planes/tanks/etc, but they're stupidly expensive and overrated, they are just meant for the stupid goyim whales who will happily spend $60 on a 3d model.

nothing you can pay for really affects gameplay. and 90% of the planes/tanks/etc are not premium, it's not like STO where literally every single thing is a paid thing once you hit level cap. It's perfectly playable without spending a dime, I never have. If you buy a monthly subscription all it does is give you some of the jewcoins they use to buy shit, and ups your loot/research from winning like premium planes do, it's not necessary at all. It also get's you into the closed beta for ships, but that's not necessary either, now that ships have been released.

it's also perfectly playable on a toaster, you'll get 60fps on min settings, probably having to drop out of 1080p, on old intel integrated. this leads to butthurt for consolefags because they can't turn graphics down.

PC and PS4/Xbox players play on the same servers, with each other, (though PS4 can't play with Xbox, licencing, etc, it's PS4/PC and XBox/PC). PC players get no choice the matchmaker will just throw consolefags into your game.

The butthurt generation is from pics related. Playing tanks consolefags have to deal with the foliage graphics impairing vision, while min settings on PC doesn't, (you can obviously crank the graphics up on PC).

these are old pics ripped from ED, min settings actually looks a little better, but the point is clear.

i just recently switched to doing tanks after planes forever, it really is like two separate games, and now there's ships.

you should eventually research some planes though, you can use them in tank/ship realistic battles after you die once and have enough spawn points to spawn a plane, then you can start raping tanks and ships. Ships are obviously harder to take down.

It's fun up to Tier 4. Tier 5 and Tier 6 is shit(aside from a few gimmick vehicles which can be fun to play for shits and giggles, but aren't necessarily comptetitive. Maus is eternal.) HEATFS is still too expensive, the matchmaker sucks due to compression, and repair costs of vehicles practically necessitate maintaining a premium account. I say this from a Realistic Battle perspective. Don't have the autism/equipment to play sim, and arcade is just boring.

The new Helicopters are actually quite terrible. They're modeled in with the durability of wet paper, a few plinks of a roof mounted MG-3 will blast them to bits, so the only way to play them is to just sit around way out of range and throw ATGM's at tanks. It's either high risk low reward, or low risk low reward. I'd avoid helicopters entirely until they get their shit straight, because right now they're only somewhat fun in the helicopter-only mode.

Ships are…ehh. It's tanks, but on water pretty much.

Up to T4, both planes and tanks are pretty fun. The grind isn't too bad, you make enough lions to pay for everything just by playing, and there aren't any BS gimmicks like ATGM's, radar SPAA, or helicopters. If you do want to play T5 and T6, avoid playing anything except US or Russia. Germany, British and France are trash, with Britain only being good by virtue of getting carried by US.

Italy still doesn't have tanks, but rumor suggests they'll be out in december. Their fighters are some of the best in game, at least.

It's free to play, so it's not like you lose anything for giving it a try. Only things to pay for is premium time to make research and SL gain faster, or for premium vehicles which are usually just prototypes or gimmicky vehicles(some of the T5 ons are disgustingly OP, though.) Fortunately, there is no real end game, so if you find a few vehicles you like from Tier 1-4, you'll never need premium. There are also events where you can just play the game for premium vehicles, which promptly become rare as they're only available to get for a limited time and then there will never be a way to get them again.

Verdict: I think it's fun. Not stellar, but fun.

Your enjoyment depends on what your goal is. If you're interested in playing the stuff in tier 5/6, don't even bother. Long fucking grind to play an imbalanced clusterfuck. The fun is in the mid-tiers, which is less of a cluster ack and easier to grind for. Plus the mid-tier contains pretty much all the iconic fighters and tanks anyways.

>Germany, British and France are trash

i've played nothing but germany and a little japan and I do pretty well in realistic battles. in fact right now at t4 people are bitching and moaning that germany is OP at that level and it's the only way make the silver.

the argument i've been seeing a lot is that the only people who play the really shittier countries, japan for example, germany is better than japan, are pretty good, so war thunder sees this high win/loss ratio and then further gimps/increases repair costs on planes/tanks in the country, further making it shittier, but these decent players still win, and it becomes a feedback loop.

russian shit is all OP but it's a russian game.

the other argument is the entire axis is just cannon fodder for the whales, which primarily spend real money and play U.S/British, so they maintain the axis countries at a disadvantage. naturally none of this is admitted. like i said i haven't had any problems playing only germany. i've played japan a little bit, the planes are paper and get outran by everything but they're more maneuverable, they can outturn just about everything.

i somewhat doubt there's any niggers in war thunder either, but it's true nobody talks, maybe if your in a squadron or something. people don't use the in-game text chat much, and there's VOIP built-in but nobody ever uses it in general public games.

console players are clearly identified so that's not the issue, most players are still using PC, might get 10-20% of a game be console players at most.

Funny, last time I played combined arms SB it was rare for burger allies to gain chair superiority on any map, loaded P-47s at low alt were little more than free RP even with skilled pilots at hand.

Russians put up more of a fight, but even then they didn't manage to gain complete air superiority all that oftenthough their IL2s were a pain in the ass.

The fact that most allied players apart from Russians barely knew how to airplane in sim mode also helped.

They recently took a sledge hammer to most repair costs and as early as early 2018 slashed RP costs on many vehicles to allow the murderous grind for top tiers to be tolerable. Obviously the new top tier has the same murderous grind Tier V used to have, but hey 3-5 isn't asking for all four limbs anymore.

Actually got me back into playing because it made getting mid tier stuff much easier.

In point of fact I managed to grind through the bong bomber tree to the Canberra which in conjunction with SB EC's makes grinding british aircraft a breeze if not a little boring, but I find flying the Mach 0.8 cookie delivery device funny as hell so I don't mind it.

I stopped playing because instead of tweaking the number of players on each team they balance the game by pitting good old tanks/planes against newer ones. There's also not much balancing by role, you can end up with 2/3rds of your team flying bombers while enemy team is all fighters that easily gain air superiority and destroy all your bombers. The map might not even have any good bombing targets. You'll see some ridiculous shit, like Junkers (that can barely take off on its ancient wet fart engine) going against Hellcats and La-5F, refitted PzIV against KV-2-of-doom and so on. That's years of difference, most low rank german forces are pre-war designs that have to fight stuff that was built from reactive experience gained in WW2. Newer forces also get access to much newer ammo, so most matches are just whack-a-mole games where the mole is usually Axis.

There are some scenarios to play where they tweak numbers instead, but they're very limited and they usually involve T-34's, a lot of them.

The single biggest issue with WT, bigger than iffy balancing, it slowly inching out of scale or the battle ranking spread making you face things a decade more modern, is that it is constructed from the ground up to convince you to cough up the greatest amount of good goy bucks. Let's say you're a new player and want to drive a Nashorn. Just go down the left hand side of the chart, unlocking each vehicle right? Haha, go fuck yourself. You see, to be able to research vehicles of a tier, you need to have a certain number of the previous tier's vehicles also unlocked. So once you hit the Sturmpanzer, you've got to go and work your way through the other columns as well. Of course, you could always just pay up and unlock one of those premium vehicles…

Actually, let's bring those up. In addition to often having slight advantages compared to regular vehicles, the fact that their opponent is less likely to have faced them regularly means that understanding the strengths and weaknesses of premium vehicles is also less likely. However, the higher you go in WT battle rankings, the more likely you are to be facing premium vehicles. This is of course because people are more likely to just give in and pay up rather than try to grind their way through the tech tree.

i don't know about tanks but premium vehicles don't seem to give many advantages in air rb. they nerfed the shit out of the BV, (axis though go figure), but i don't have any issues downing the allied premium shit, because the players that generally pay up to prematurely advance in the tech tree generally suck anyway.

In air rb there's time to think, strategy (which equals being above your opponent at all times and letting the retards go in first and waste the enemies altitude). I've only recently started playing tanks, a week or two in, and it seems like the strategy there is find a good hiding spot. Of course i'm just starting to get into T2 and already and seeing what people bitch about with shells bouncing right off other tanks.

Ships is kind of a shitfest right now but they are considering it a beta still.

>>15642515

this is why people quickly learn what is shit and what isn't. the only people that fly ju's are just looking to dick off once in a while or they haven't figured out that they suck, eventually they will switch to bf109's and be done with it. all of the german attackers are pretty much shit. i imagine it's the same with tanks.

you have to research and purchase an aircraft / tank / ship to advance in the tree but you don't have to play it.

You may be right, but it doesn't change the fact that it's designed to be a grindfest. Back before the tree remake you could go all along a single branch and get to jets sooner than you'll get to unlock 3rd tier in current system.

No fucking shit. This is the concession everyone must make for any f2p game. Some are worse than others, but complaining about this sort of shit seems completely asanine at this point. You either put up with it and adapt or don't play it.

>>15645699

Plenty of F2P games give you ways to reduce the grind required. MOBAs either tend to have the characters be unlocked or at worse like in LoLs case you can just directly pick which you want to unlock. In that case the grind required comes down to a few hours or days. In WT, if you want to play high tier vehicles you're looking at weeks or even months. A while ago one of the devs/community managers, can't remember which, scoffed at the idea that you should have the in-game repair ability when you unlock a tank. They lock basic functionally away behind either grind or money.

T4 is still pretty okay for Germany in planes. Of course the same people crying OP there are the same that will lose their minds if you aileron roll. As for tanks, BR 4.7 with no uptiers or downtiers (never happening, by the way with the player bleed) is probably the most balanced. Everyone has one hard to pen heavy tank, plenty of good medium tanks, and solid tank destroyers. As for tier 4 tanks, calling Germany OP there is a little funny to me. Tiger IIs are solid, but not hard to pen these days by any means (for non German players, aim for the turret Cheeks), especially compared to T34s (USA) and the premium version, or the tortoise. Panthers are honestly great, but the reverse is hilariously bad. TDs are TDs. All of these rough when uptiering takes place.

It's honestly early Tier 5 where your real hell begins on both tanks and planes. Leo 1 is an alright tank, but has no armor (>80mm), no way to move ammo to safer racks (your driver is protected by a nice rack of ammo from enemy gunfire) ,and viable (read actually capable of penning tanks on part age wise) ammo gets switched around almost every 5 patches. And then the Leo A1A1A1A1 is the same tank again, but with a stabilizer and the promise of fin stabilized sabot if you can reach the thing.

Planes also start being rough. The 262 takes a lot of getting used to, will overheat easily if you keep it at 100%,has trouble actually clearing some runways, and 30mms are not fun to use against fighter planes (slow ammo, especially at those speeds, limited too). The Horten is a solid enough plane, although the it's been a while since I've flown it properly. I don't use the swallow, but it's generally the same problems. Oh, and of course since they are heavy planes, they can't turn for anything (sans the Horten which also has an air brake). Americans will fuck you up (especially since Most of their later tier 5s are actually meant to fight other fighters) ,turn well (for a jet) and have air brakes.

I love the Komet, but it also is jumped up to a tier where everyone else has experience fighting it, and are also very good at jet fighting, as a word of warning

To echo the anon you're replying to, if you touch this game, stick with tiers 1-4,hell I'd even say 1-3. Tier 5 is pain and it's grind for research is mind numbing,esoecially with the research caps in place

The trick with F2 vs KV-2 is to always go for the turret. The panther later on can hit it through its hull quite easily, but everything about the KV-2 below the turret is made to swallow shells whole. Aim to the right or left of the barrel and you're killing crew. Check it in the hangar and see where the gunner sits in X-ray view I want to say Soviet gunners are usually on your left/their right and go for that first. The gun can be frightening, but ambushing them is your best advantage,although even a maxed crew can only manage ~20 seconds to reload.

The StuG line of tank destroyers can be quite fun, once you get used to less traverse. One other warning, the panzer J turret is a manual traverse. As in its a lot more slower and much easier to orient the vehicle. If you stick around to play more and decide to get it, treat it like a StuG rather than a proper tank.

Probably because the grind is insufferable once you hit tier 5 or whatever and much of the armor penetration boils down to luck, especially when you factor in whether or not the devs decided to totally ruin the armor model of the tank you're using with the last patch.

Yeah, unfortunate consequence of the grinding pyramid is that the higher you go, the fewer other people there are.

>It's fun up to Tier 4. Tier 5 and Tier 6 is shit

Isn't that basically how these games are designed? Early few tiers have rapid progression because they're like the fun demo part of the game, then you hit the wall in early-mid game which is your "buy now to see more!" screen. Of course that will come right after you pass the most fun part, and the premium-only content (or effectively premium-only, as in this case) is milquetoast and a recipe for buyer's remorse. Unfortunately these games also like to hide real costs behind shop gold and overprice everything to hell, hoping that the whales won't notice how outrageously they're being scammed.

I wonder if the genre will ever get saturated to the point that all the whales are bankrupt and soon after f2p as we know it implodes.

You've got a point. But F2P video games were invented what, 15-20 years ago? There must have been accumulated demand from whales surviving all these years with no skinner box.

I have concluded that Pz IV E is the best tier 1 tank. Now, I'm no expert, but if I got 4.75 kill/death ratio with it and not even close with everything else, I think it's safe to assume that this one is pretty good. Don't mind the winrate on the rest though, it's skewed because I only took them out if we're already losing (Pz IV blown up). Sturmpanzer II projectile arc is way too much of a pain in the ass to handle, it's basically a melee fighter. And it can't even hit anything beyond 1km no matter how hard you try, because enemy will blow you up first. It's extremely hard to kill though, just enough armour to ward off machine gun fire and not enough to cause detonations or much fragments.

Pz IV E >>>> Pz 38 (t) F > Flakpanzer 38 > Sturmpanzer II >>>> everything else.

Gonna check out 3.3 rating now. Fun fact: there's literally no way to pierce Churchill VII with any decent ammo on any of 3.3 german tanks aside from one or two crappy rigid shells that deal no damage.

It's not a Sim alternative, but I found Armored Warfare to be an alright alternative to WoT. I just play endless PvE. Also, the devs are kinda desperate for players so there's tons of xp/credit boost events that happen throughout the year. Fuck, they even give away premium time, gold, and even premium tanks. I have 6 premium tanks in my garage that I got for free. So if you want to just smash the AI in PvE with a tolerable grind up the trees, AW isn't too bad.

So, trying War Blunder again and it seems like Gayjin lost an awful lot of players.

Every game I joined had bots in it, ranging from half the team being bots, up to only 4 human players.

I guess this is what happens when the playercount drops from 50k to 30k on weekends and even hitting 20k on weekdays.

The only positive change is the grind reduction, most plane's research points were halved, it seems.

Thats kinda long, then again I dont play historical that often.

Used to play like 1.5 years ago and back then it took 10-20 seconds to find a realistic battle with no bots.

I really wish there would be sim battles for the Sd. Kfz. 234/4 but I've never even seen it in one. Playing with it is the only thing that brings me joy in warthunder.

>they're only portraying a few torpedo boats, gun boats a couple of basic destroyers and a Battleship or two

That's partially my point. Infantry, tank and aerial (to an extent) combat work reasonably well symmetrically and on a small scale. But trying to cram a naval engagement into a 15-minute round doesn't work that well. To make Naval Forces into an interesting gamemode, they would have to do something much different.

Imagine they take the NF maps, then enlarge them massively. Make it so that to go from one end to the other you're looking at an hour or more of sailing. Give DDs and whatnot the ability to lay mines, along with minesweepers to clear them out. Maybe allow early-spawn PT boat players to place coastal batteries, along with the ability to manually control those guns while their boat is at rest. Put these pieces together, and you easily end up with the situation where one side (defenders in a ATK/DEF scenario?) mines an archipelago, prompting the opposing force to have to bring their sweepers up, which themselves require escort from DDs to keep enemy DDs/PT boats at bay. But those DDs themselves would be vulnerable to gun batteries, meaning you'd need cruisers or larger ships to knock them out of action. And of course now that you've got cruisers involved the submarine/torpedo boats/planes have nice juicy targets to engage.

Where is the Operation Cerberus scenario where a small German battlegroup tries to sneak their way through the Channel during a foggy morning? How about a group of DD players trying to protect a convoy against a wolfpack? Hell, go ahead with a theoretical scenario where Bismarck is almost to France when the Brits jump her, with Luftwaffe players trying to defend a single naval player against a combined British team.

Now, with War Thunder the way it is, was there ever a chance in hell we'd get something in-depth like this? Of course not. But it would have been a lot more worthwhile than "place roughly equal sized ship across from one another and fight".

i'd be happy if they had larger maps and more planes. there's still 10k people playing war thunder at any one time. there's no reason you can't have atleast air maps with 50 on 50 players. graphics wise the engine can clearly handle it even on a potato, there's maps with more than that number of npc planes.

The Spain map would be nice for such things with how hueg it is.

Now drop in player-controlled aircraft carriers and shipborne landing craft acting as destructible spawnpoints for planes&tanks, the latter of which can capture airfields and bases which require supply convoys to function else they can't spawn anything, said supply convoys which can be destroyed by aircraft and you'll have yourself a nicely autistic vision of game that'll never ever exist even though it could.

Player aircraft carriers would command squadrons of NPC planes in addition to serving as a spawnpoint for planefags, the non-airbases on air maps would serve as supply depots/manufacturers if not tank spawnpoints themselves.

I believe bots are there if you just started out. They just added that some months ago, of course you didn’t know when you played the games 3 years ago. Play some more games and they will disappear and get replaced by real players.

I'm not sure what the chance is. In theory your only supposed to get bumped 1 up or 1 down, so it's possible to have a game where you got bumped up and someone else got bumped down and now you've got a 2.3 and a 3.3 in the same game.

As far as bot's there aren't supposed to be any. I've only been suspicious that other people were bots in tanks arcade at low levels, when you've got 6 people just aimlessly going back and forth in spawn. I've never seen any bot on air, but i've only done realistic, and all i do is realistic tanks now, and i never see any bot like behavior their either.

>>15716179

say the game for you is supposed to be 2.7, your in a br 2.7 plane. it's possible your going to get matched with people in 2.3(1 down) and people in 3.3(1 up). The 2.3 people got fucked and the 3.3 people might have an easier time but I'm pretty sure if you get bumped down your rewards get nerfed also. It does bring some variety to the games, and it obviously cuts down the wait time to get into a game.

The danger with this type of matchmaking is the suspicion that people who pay for premium time and/or buy a premium plane get preferential matchmaking. Preferential matchmaking is a super jewish move, and gaijin says they don't do it, but they would never admit to doing it in the first place because it would destroy the game population.

The advantage for them if they do do it, is you get some dumb goy to pay $50 for a premium plane, and all of the sudden he's magically better (the plane is marginally better, but in reality the matchmaker is now just putting him up against lower br planes and shittier players), he get's a good feeling, and wants to repeat the good feeling by buying more premium planes and premium game time.

I thought there was some jew patent by EA or something with matchmaker fuckery that has this same idea only with premium guns.


1c3373  No.15716301

>>15716252

That's not how it works. 2.7 can get matches with 1.3-4.0, it's +/-1.5.

Also XP-50 (3.7 BR) premium plane was gifted to me and I was fighting higher rating planes in nearly every match, because most players main 4-5 BR Thunderbolts, Fw 190, Spitfires, Lavochkins, Zeroes, because that's where the meat of the game is at. You could buy a premium plane with something like 5.3 BR to abuse that fact, but then that's just battle rating mechanics clashing with population spread, not preferential matchmaking.

>>15716126

Everything below 2.0 BR is at a disadvantage, because those vehicles can't even get downtiered to the full extent (-1.5)

I've returned to WT for about a week and I remember now why I dropped this garbage the first time:

1. Shit game mode design. Every fucking tank match involves capturing the fucking points that have absolutely no use aside form draining enemy tickets. They're empty plots of land that make you a good target. Usually located in urban areas. A literal retard could figure out something better;

2. You're always forced to fight inside the fucking towns, because of points. Once in a blue moon only in sim battles you'll get a map that has some hills to snipe from, but then you'll get fucked in the ass by flanking T-34s if it's a game with less than 20 players;

3. BR and sim battle limitations remove any kind of fun for a non-casual player. Have a couple heavies, some light tanks for recon and some mediums that would have trouble penetrating heavies unless they flank/gang up? Nah, lets just have 10 T-34 vs 10 Panthers;

4. Armor is entirely useless because you always have to go into the bloody towns to gamble on who gets flanked from around the corner. Even if you aren't flanked, anything you can get matched against is capable of penetrating you in the front at point blank anyway;

5. Spawn camping. Most maps are so small you can get killed as soon as you spawn if you joined the match that was going for like 3 minutes. You don't have to choose if you want to interrupt reinforcements or fight for the empty plot of land with blue smoke in the middle, you can do both;

6. P2W bushes that you can place all over the front of your tank even though the crew wouldn't be able to see anything themselves. They give -50% enemy accuracy for precision shots on crew, +1 shot before enemy figures out your location by muzzle flash and projectile trajectory, +100% chance to give AIDS to opponents;

7. Premium captured tanks are allowed in sim battles, good luck trying to figure out if that Pz III is an enemy while he's already calculating range and about to fire at you;

8. Air battles often put land bombers in naval combat only maps, where they'll either get shot by destroyers while trying to bomb them or be unable to land, because landing strip is a ship. Night fighters will be put into day match. All sorts of retarded shit related to specialized aircraft that you can think of;

9. Shit optimization that actually got worse since the last time I played. For reference I can run any game up to year 2013 or so at 60 fps, but can't get 60 fps in WT on the absolute minimum settings (not the ULQ mode), aside from textures and anisotropy;

10. There are actual cheaters in this game that can go unbanned for months. A guy accused someone of being a cheater and said he reported him weeks ago. I checked the replay, and sure enough that fag just went around landing perfect shots with no calculations at 1km+.

There's probably more, but I can't squeeze any more out at the moment.

most of what you said is true but this can be dealt with

land planes can land on carriers if you land with your landing gear up.

night fighters are irrelevant because there's no radar anyway

War thunder is amazing. The closed beta was more polished than the release.

And it was an actually good game to boot, too, but they killed it with updates.

I distinctly remember how in the first day of open beta I read a guy say in the chat "Gaijin devs make other devs look like scammers," I wonder what that guy is up to now.

Are you talking about tank beta? If so, I agree. RB was much less casual and SB had spawn points further from the fucking towns. Now SB is the new RB and RB is just a slightly less arcade mode.

No argument there man, it helps that the game often uses maps that shove you into essentially lanes like you're playing ASSFAGGOTS, but honestly the ease of use despite lack of a turret is a little shocking. I'm sure if I was playing a modded Steel Fury Karkov or the Tank Crew game that will show up eventually it would be a different story, but I'm not really complaining about it too much, especially since it's fun to play when I am not grinding for fucking parts on some tier 5/6 tank.

If any of you anons are new, I can't say enough to just play as far as tier 3 or maybe 4. Top tier is fucking hell, but me choosing Germans didn't help at that point.

You must still be very new to think the game is actually fun. Just wait a couple of years and watch how those Russian scumbags take load after load on the game. It's literally nothing more than a war vehicle 3D model gacha at this point, because 90% of vehicles are very unfun to play and out of meta. What is the meta? Driving tanks into small circles on the map or one hit bombing supply bases for either game mode. There hasn't been a new game ever. Why even bother adding realistic or simulator modes and then making everybody play king of the hill? That's the dumbest shit ever and let's not talk about the grind balance, premiums and many other things. These are just some of my gameplay gripes mind you there is so much more. I regret spending money and hundreds of hours on this game, although I bought all my stuff before the prices rose by 1000% and you could still pay in ruble from other counties.

I wonder if the huge amount of ass pained people is somehow related to the large amount of slavs playing this game.

9 out of 10 people I kill will try to use as many respawns as possible to come kill me with first bombs, then crashing their plane on me and lastly driving around the whole map ignoring everyone else just to get back at me.

They really mollycoddle these fucks since kill cam tells them your general location and just about anything but dying will guarantee them a respawn to use on a kamikaze strike.

I don't play SB that often, but if it looks like the enemy, I take the shot. Anyone playing a captured tank in SB is literally asking to be teamkilled.

Wait, there are people who don't play on the ultra low quality mode? Why would you gimp yourself like that?

Eh, I've eyeballed consecutive one shot kills at great distances before. I'm not saying he wasn't cheating though.
