The new aircraft engine sounds are cool. They make dogfights feel even more chaotic IMO, when you get into a furball and you're surrounded by the roaring of other players' engines. I feel like it makes it harder to tell if someone's on your tail, but maybe that's just me.
Has anyone else noticed trouble with the matchmaker? Even when the game says there's 20,000+ people online and ~1000 battles taking place, there have been times when it's seemed to have trouble finding enough players to fill a match. I was even having trouble with that on Sunday, which surprised me. Does the game not have as many players as it used to, or is it maybe dividing its playerbase up too much between all the different gamemodes?
Also, there are times when this game makes me wonder why I even bother. I was doing alright for the first couple days after I came back to it: I had some good matches, and I was enjoying myself. And now my luck seems to have completely run out. A lot of the tank matches I've been in have been ****ing one-sided blowouts, most often with me on the losing team, and I've died a lot and accomplished little. I've had the same 'spawn, enter a fight, die, spawn, enter a fight, die' luck in a few plane matches too, which has pissed me off because that doesn't usually happen to me with planes, and I should be doing better than that. Like I said, I'm not sure if it's partly because I haven't adjusted to the new sounds yet and how the affect my situational awareness, or if I'm just having a run of bad luck, or if I just ****ing suck all of a sudden for whatever reason. Whatever the case, it doesn't look like my return to WT is going to last much longer at this rate.
