    There are a few Chinese squadrons that encourage teamkilling of americans/taiwan supporters in their squadron description.

    Nazis cosplaying in game, spamming slurs and insults to any perceived minority in lobby: "It's just part of the experience, get a thicker skin" :le-pol-face:

    Chinese player with banner declaring pride in country in their own language that you have to actually translate: "Ban all of these people, use copypasta to get them in trouble, report game to Chinese authorities" :pit:

    Such a goddamn constant between every fucking game I've ever played.

        I mean, the op of the reddit thread posted this:

        You CAN do that! Go to www.12377.cn and report War Thunder to the CCP for separatist movements, defamation of China, and simulated killing of Chinese units. Just don’t forget to Google translate to Simplified Chinese.

        Apparently, they think a game will get banned for that :shrug-outta-hecks:

      Step 1: Play game and claim that you're a troll or an "offensive" person.

      Step 2: Just start arguing for left wing politics. That's the "offensive humor"

      Step 3: When confronted, say that no one is really offended by nazis since everyone agrees with them. Therefore, to be truly offensive, you have to be left wing.

      Step 4: Also, tell them "it's just a joke. I thought conservatives were immune to trolling."

      Step 5: Accept your crown as the man/woman/enby more offensive than all of /pol/ put together.

    [–]TheBlekstena -169 points 3 hours ago Meanwhile people like you generalizing an entire nation.

    [–]arexlinster[S] 95 points 3 hours ago Well, even if so it’s reactionary generalization which is often required to combat blatant attacks from groups of people determined to spread hate and oppression.

    lol yeah bud it's a reactionary generalization at least you got that part right

    The current Chinese government is a result of the Chinese Civil War, and they’re technically just some communist rebels as long as the ROC survives in Taiwan.

      Just some communist rebels with aircraft carriers, armored divisions, stealth air superiority jets, and motherfucking nukes lmao.

      That's literally like saying America's still technically a British colony since the British Empire never technically collapsed

        Nah bro they're just communist rebels, it's only a world-class space program they have going. They're not the legitimate Chinese state until they've at least put a man on Pluto.

      The KMT were literally just "some rebels" (which even included many of the communists before Jiang Jieshi's bruh moment) back before they deposed the Qing, then the Beiyang, then the various other warlords claiming to be the "real" legitimate body of China. It's like this guy is going out of his way to be as logically inconsistent as possible.

        It's absurd. I got a couple tier 5 planes around the time it launched before they increased the grind. Now it'd take so many dozens of hours just to get one that there isn't even a point in trying. Give me a good biplane and a nerd that lacks situational awareness.

        the game is only enjoyable with premium. once my premium runs out my desire to paly the game disappears. It's also a lot better with friends. Some friends and I have been grinding japan tanks and we're already to tier 5 where if i were to do it myself I would scream in horror.

      The fucking idiot thinks "better quality of life" is an illusion. Ah yes the Chinese farmer who lived in poverty for 10 generations finaly sees his village have access to a school that isn't falling apart and a train station so that his children can finaly move to the biG CiTY and break the cycle of perpetual poverty oh wait DON'T FALL FOR IT IT IS AN ILLUSION you see it may seem like this is the first time your family got to see what it means to NOT live in poverty but that is just the devil talking stay away!

          Wait, is it really a small portion of the population in those cities? I understood that the reason the number of people being lifted out of poverty in China is so huge is that cities with populations in the hundreds of millions are developing with the guidance of the CPC. Seems like flaunting development in those cities is not only the most logical thing because it's legitimately impressive, but it's not even dishonest since those cities house a very large portion of the population.

      Do it, players will melt down.

      I love the Sim game mode, there's a lot less investment than say DCS or IL-2 but the greater community is a cancer. Thankfully the sim community is small and you see a lot of familiar names.

          I never got into ground much. Tried playing a couple times and it felt like a completely different game.

          I don't play top tier air either though, the repair/spawn costs are so high it doesn't even seem fun. After almost 400 hours in the game I gave Gaijin 8 bucks for the XP-50 and the premium grind has been insane to say the least. I spent down from around 1m SL to 400k to buy some planes, then in like 10-15 hours of game play have gotten to almost 2M. I have like 9 researched planes unpurchased because I'm having so much fun in the XP-50 I don't see why I should have less fun in more expensive, slightly better planes.

          The game is in some ways really cancerous and the playerbase complains about the premium stuff so much, but all things considered 8 bucks to make the game very fun and not stressful at all is pretty reasonable for how much you actually get out of it.
