-there is no stealth, just armor -everyone is a light tank -the crosshair lies

I use to play arcade but then transitioned to realistic and the only thing I miss is the ridiculous speed that arcade has

The plane spawning position is a huge problem because the enemy always spawns just 1km behind you.

Tiger players not being able to hit any of the Jumbo's weakspots despite having a penetration indicator is probably the most Tiger player thing ever.

I always feel like the entire map is looking at me, specifically. It's so unnerving. I unironically feel more safe in realistic than in arcade. Because if I can't see the enemy team without searching for them, they surely can't see me either (and it's usually true)

"I'm an RB player" _tries to pen a Tiger 1's front armor with a sherman 75mm_

As an arcade player, I can't survive in realistic for much long

a guide to arcade: 1. in arcade most stats are boosted, stuff like module HP and speed is a tad bit higher, for speed especially it also fucks with your tank model so ricochets are common on moving targets at high speed 2. the penetration indicator lies A LOT, it's better to use it as a hit indicator most of the time and rely on your knowledge of penetration stats, and armor weak spots 3. the penetration indicator also works as a ballistic calculator thing that predict where it will hit (it assume 0% dispersion but adapts to the bullet drop) and it also have a minor aim assist where it wiil indicate to the nearest solid target in front of your shell path, so try to still adjust range on your own and machinegun any breakable surface you are probably gonna shoot through 4. spotting range is based on your crew skills and the tank concealment stats, so with low stats on both a tank could just not be pinged on your map nor screen while it sneaks up behind you till you spin around your camera view or your hull, so abuse the "c" free look to make sure you spot everyone near you 5. all vehicles can spot an enemy and ping their exact location in the map, just lock on target using the default target selection then use the radio command of 1+7 that is "attack this enemy" with it it will put an X on the map of where you the tank is for everyone for a few seconds 6. Artillery strike request stacks and you get them after a few minutes and after killing and assisting a kill, and it's stack to 3 i think? but it also stays even after death (IE if you play a heavy tank and die your next tank that's capable of calling Artillery probably has a bunch of it stacked) 7. CAS sucks in arcade and barely anyone use it effectively/seriously since not only it makes your tank AFK but the bombs are long fused and the explosion are weaker, it's better to choose attacker most of the time than bomber when the match still balanced but if you are winning a bomber is nice 8. while doing CAS you can know the type of your bomb or the fuse type by seeing how much bomb there is and what type of plane you got, a light dive bomber have medium bombs with a shorter fuse, a medium-heavy bomber have light-big bomb based on the ammount (1-3 is probably a big bomb with long fuse, 3-6 is probably medium bombs with long to medium fuse, and anything more than 6 means it's a small bomb with medium fuse) and lastly US naval bomber specifically have medium size bombs with really short fuse 9. when using solid AP type of shell on tanks it's better to ammo rack the enemy because all vehicle with crew replenishment (could be used anywhere) will survive on one crew so you need to either kill everyone, wait till they already use crew replenish and shoot again, or ammo rack it for a "guranteed" kill 10. derp guns and medium tanks are the meta for arcade because derp guns are basically snipers that could kill anyone relatively safely from long range and mediums are the preferred tanks to brawl because it has decent armor to survive based on skill and RNG (unlike light tanks) a gun with good reload and decent penetration stat, and speed that equals in light tanks in max speed but not acceleration

I swear AB is harder than RB because you put most of your eggs in the game's basket of broken mechanics, which don't work half the time.

The best thing about arcade is that you know EXACTLY where people are and where to hit them Until you realize they know where YOU are and now EXACTLY where to hit you. this is coming from someone who EXCLUSIVELY plays arcade.

RB players when they see a red plus instead of a green plus: "HOW DID THAT NOT PEN"

Love the WoT "you have been scouted" sound at 6:39

The WOT spot sound was so apropriated for this video 😂😂

1:04 Least chaotic arcade match

Tbh, Malzi said "I won't play this NEVER". Double negative means a positive. Malzi will, indeed, play arcade for us again 😂

2:09 don’t you love when your fighting in tanks during ww2 and there’s a statue of a plane that wasn’t even possible to make at that time

The one thing I really hate about arcade is that the bombs take 10 seconds to explode which is insane

Ahh... AB, my home, my chaotic home, may the green cross guide you.

The whole disappearing and reappearing thing at the very end even happens in realistic, just you don’t notice it unlike in Arcade because it shows nametags it’s more noticeable

That guy finally got Malzi to play arcade. The absolute madlad.

I play arcade and i find it more nervous than realistic. And most of the time i don't play with headphones so that's a pretty big disadvantage in RB where you must listen to engine noises if you want to live more than 2 mn. Kills in RB are really satisfying though !

malz, your edits are perfect. the right sounds and right animations at the right times

RB is torture for me. And before you guys say it is a "sKiLl IsSuE", I just want to say that AB causes less stress for me since I can actually see the enemies in front of me. And I still get tons of SL and RP. Probably because I have the Tiger II Sla.16, Ferdinand, and Jagdtiger.

fun fact: you can still control the arcade battles plane for a few seconds after the time has expired. You have control over the plane still untill you get your camera teleported back to your vechicle, wich means if you lined up a shot and the time expired you can still kill the plane with a lucky burst.

The WOT spotting sounds were perfect lmao, please reuse them in future vids if possible

I'll be honest I legitimately can't play realistic tanks, I can't see them because my eye sight is terrible 😅

Arcade top tier lover:”first time?”

As an arcade only player I can confirm playing RB was psychological torture for me

0:14 the m22 zooming by LMAO😭

As someone who plays ab only this was comforting to watch

i have over 2500 hours in war thunder and i have played only AB...i absolutely love it just for the fact that i dont have to worry about CAS and other OP planes and such

"Oh, my God! Okay, it's happening! Everybody stay calm. Stay f*cking calm!" - Michael Scott

Low tier Shermans with the short 75 are so op in arcade. One time after playing a few rb games, I went into arcade and got 21 kills with the M4A2

the chaos the pure chaos, I LOVE IT!

6:40 The WoT spotting notification put me in shambles 😭😂

malzi your ability to skill issue yourself are incredible. Bro goes from Gaming with a Uppercase G to messing up the easiest shots. it is a comedic moment

As a arcade enjoyer, I some times cry in the corner and wonder what the hell im doing with my life...

Goes to top tier waits 5 min Gets in game Finds a Br 2.3 tank

Gaijin thought it would be a good idea to make TigerII fight BMP3 in arcade mode💀🙏

its rare to have a Top tier Arcade Battles

Arcade is just goofy fun

Ab is fun and all, but i can feel my rb skills decreasing by the SECOND when i play it even once

For arcade, it's good to have quick reactions, to quickly turn the turret or hull to angle to bounce the shells, to learn to quick shoot the enemy weakspots and to always stay on the move to make it difficult for the enemy to hit you. The crosshair is a joke, it only helps you to elevate to the target's range. On maps with tight chokepoints, grab a bomber and just spam bombs on the chokepoint and see yourself get 7 easy kills. Even with pen indicator, bushes are still effective when using a quick strike and hide tactic, because it doesn't allow the enemy to see the weakspots quite as fast, giving you time to escape.

Being an AA vehicle in AB is A LOT EASIER than RB due to the help of lead indicator. I can rack up to 8 planes at some battles.

Arcade is fun.

Love how the Tigers have better angling in AB than RB

He finally did it

I suck at realistic, so I play arcade. Ive been doing well, playing wt for a couple years now. All based in Arcade.

If ive learned one thing from arcade its that green means bad and red means good. Never trust the pen indicator.

That 5 min timer for arcade top tier is such a mood.

I am so amused by the moment with the sound of detection from the world of tanks.

thanks for making so good videos brother

i couldn't imagine malzi and arcade battles together till now

You did it. You actually did it. Last thing I would have ever expected

This made me proper laugh mate, hope to see more!

I only ever play arcade and lemme tell you, you somehow get used to the insanity of it but only if you play heavy armor country like soviet

I find arcade to just be superior for grinding. Matches are much faster which leads to quicker xp and lion gain. I can do an arcade match and end up with about 2k xp without premium, or I could do a realistic match that takes around 3 times as long and end up with 3-4k xp.

Using CAS to spot targets was pretty slick.

Ah yes, the invisible enemy bug. My favorite feature of the latest update.

0:12 got me already xD

As a (current but soon to switch) arcade player, its good to use for Tier one and possibly two when you're first starting. Past that is just ridiculous.

In arcade I have to say (as an italy main) that specifically 9.0 is THE MOST FUN BR I have experienced. Simply Superb lineup right there with the OF40 MK2, the VCC80/60, the VBC PT2 (surprisingly good), the SIDAM, and I can also say both the M113A1 (TOW), and the M109G are still very usable at this BR.

RB players: "QUIT HAVING FUN!" AB enjoyers: 👍 *_*continues having fun*_*

Love how the enemies in arcade are invisible until they kill you

That scream from home alone killed me :D love it

OMG this was a great idea for a video. Also, 6:16 cracked me up.

When I accidentally play an AB the green crosshair actually puts me off and if it wasn’t there I’d kill way more

Madlad actually went and played 11.3 Arcade lmfao

I transitioned from arcade to rb between grinding out panzer 4s and never looked back. Had to tho to play with a friend (they only play Arcade), half the time I was shooting at planes in my Tiger 1

2:25 tells you how good the jumbos armor can be, witchs tells you the br that it was at was just fine

I dont know what's worse, dying out of nowhere after travelling to point for half the match Or dying because you fired at the green crosshair and nothing happened.

Honestly arcade wouldn’t be that bad if they didn’t have like 80 reticles showing where the enemy is at all times and the rewards were the same as realistic

When AB player play Realistic Battles like me 💀 i cant even aim and measure the high

I do enjoy the AB's 3 respawn only, easier to keep track of the game itself since anyone at 3 is definitely out and not 8 deaths later & still have another respawn

As someone who recently switched from AB to RB, (I have been playing AB up until 6.0) I know your pain.

as an RB player, when i play arcade bc of my newbie friends, it feels like im beating a dead horse

The way that M18 sped by🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's funny how many battles devolve into just shooting through foliage.

One thing I love about arcade is that it trains my muscle memory to aim for weakspots even at top tier. Also during the summer event I play arcade with the kachi and it's so damn overpowered for getting points because I face total beginners

3:32 wtf is that???

"no armour is best armour, as long as they aren't using HE"

I just wish ground arcade didnt have air, its such a killjoy in like 90% of games

3:30 Malzi, will you playing arcade, the demon getting closer !!! It's a sign !

Hey Malzi i ask you a couple of weeks ago if you can play Arcade and you did it ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much ❤

After playing arcade and only arcade for 6 years I am confident enough to say that scoring 4 to 5 kills in realists is very easy the only difference is the presence of CAS and heli spawn camping abuse mechanic.

Arcade honestly helped with distance in realistic cause at the time i never had rangefind and sight distance control binded on my controler 😂

I originally came from world of tanks. AB is a nice step inbetween WOT and WT RB. I’ve tried RB a few times but am totally oblivious to unmarked targets. So I usually die quickly and can only get consistent good games in the 2c bis which pretty much can’t be killed in one shot. So I really have to learn RB first. But until then, this is my hell (still better, less frustrating and less toxic than WOT (though I really like a lot of the prototype tanks that WT misses like the O-I))

yeah arade is pure chaos and i love it thats why i play it.

When the blind players can fight

I am an AB player because I have played WoT for a long time and am more accustomed to that kind of gameplay. Discover the enemy's deployment and find more effective positions on the map to attack and counterattack. Of course I also play RB, but I often die completely blind.The AB mode does feel like I am being targeted by people all over the world, but for me, staring at the monitor and looking for people in the RB mode makes me more tired.😂

As a former Arcade Main, Im sooo Lucky that i switched to realistic/simulator

I feel like a mode with the crosshair but no auto spotting would be the perfect fun/sim balance between the two modes

yeah this video ain't getting monetized 8:18 lmfao

Noticed, in arcade bombs without using bomb aim are dripped with Little delay because you cant manually open jom bay.

A couple things about air spawns. 1. Bombers (the third plane) and other planes with closed doors take a second to drop the payload because the doors have to open meaning you want to release a bit early. Also assume all bomb timers are 50 years. They can be incredibly effective especially against heavier targets but if they move you’re just getting hits 2. This means attackers (the second plane) might be better because the rockets are impact fuse although heavier targets might live so it would be better to go for open tops. (You can see if there is any by opening the leaderboard cause it shows all vehicles) sidenote from what I’ve seen the attackers at br 1-2 ish mostly have bombs. Although one of them has rockets and is busted. 3. The plane and armament you get are random although each plane has a set armament (ex. a fw 190 will always have the same rockets from what I can tell). Once you play enough at a br you will get a feel for if a plane is good or not. Sometimes you get tiny tims other times you get pencil rockets that couldn’t pen a baby. 4. Not sure for high tier but in lower ties planes usually beat spaa cause planes can suicide with explosives while spaa are usually open top and an actual vehicle meaning it’s worse to lose. 5. For helies it’s best to go for the third option cause those are agms and are busted especially at the lowest tier you can get them cause the spaa suck there. Bonus tip! If you get 15 points in the bomber category you can select it and drop a nuke!

I swear arcade is good for boosting crew xp

Malzi is the only persons that can make arcade enjoyable to watch

When I saw you go top tier I was like “no.. no Malzi! Don’t do it! NOOOOOOO!!”

the bullet drop indicator in arcade is so inaccurate sometimes, and it completely fucks with your sense of where the bullet will actually go

Me who has over 100hrs play time and is still scared to play realistic
