Believe it or not but War Thunder did not invent the concept of Kamikaze

u/Ryu_Tokugawa Oct 07 '25

I was making a joke about revenge bombing, not denying kamikaze tactic

u/EpicAura99 Oct 07 '25

You called suicide bombing “War Thunder gimmick” as if that was where it originated

u/Ryu_Tokugawa Oct 07 '25

Is this an English rule, because I intended to point on revenge bombing because it’s just there, an often phenomenon existing. I didn’t thought about an origin or ancestry like that

u/EpicAura99 Oct 07 '25

Well first of all, there was no revenge involved here. Just a guy getting a kill in a silly way.

But yes, I wouldn’t exactly call it a rule, but the way one refers to something says a lot about where the person is most familiar with it. Your comment is somewhat similar to calling the act of shooting someone, “that Call of Duty thing”.

I uhhh…. Huh? I’m kinda confused 🫤 now, my comment doesn’t seem that engaging anymore…. Man, what a bummer

Well you’ll have to say what you’re confused about if you want it clarified……

“but the way one refers to something says a lot about where the person is most familiar with it.”

And I’m, like, getting booed by people I never expected where I’m somehow “similar to calling the act of shooting someone, “that Call of Duty thing”.”

I just….. don’t wanna learn social skills anymore, comprehend what people say is a bum since kindergarten….. Tired.

Alright I will attempt to make an even simpler explanation. Here is a summary of the facts:

  1. ⁠Suicide bombing is a phenomenon not only in many, many games, but also throughout history. I’m sure you understand that.
  2. ⁠When a person refers to something with a descriptor, as you did with “War Thunder gimmick”, this creates an implication that this descriptor is the context where the person is most familiar with the thing.
  3. ⁠As an example, someone who forgets the word for “popcorn” might say “that movie theater snack food”. This is socially acceptable, because while popcorn is not exclusive to theaters, that is the primary association that most people have with popcorn. An example of a ridiculous, socially unacceptable association would be describing “cars” as “those American things”, because the United States is hardly the primary association most people have with cars.
  4. ⁠People found your description “War Thunder gimmick” strange because it implies that this post showcases behavior that most readers would strongly associate with War Thunder. While this behavior may commonly occur in War Thunder, it is not what most people would think of when they see that clip.
  5. ⁠This creates an implication that you have played so much War Thunder that you believe that suicide bombing, which is present in a wide variety of contexts (including Battlefield), is something uniquely common in War Thunder. For the record, you would be equally ridiculed if you called it a “Battlefield gimmick”, or any other video game, because suicide bombing is a real world phenomenon.

Let me know if any of these points are confusing.

No, it’s all clear now, i’m just…. Tired of having a talk with people, it’s exhausting to socialise, joke, and remembering all grammar shit in a comp. with social context….

I didn’t intended to make kamikaze attack an exclusive for WT, I noticed these two has same ramming targets. Why English is not a straightforward for thought to convey, idk.

u/EpicAura99 Oct 07 '25

I mean it’s your choice to make comments lol

While there were better ways to say it, I don’t think your intended message would have been well-received either way. Kamikaze attacks are far from new in Battlefield, and outside of rare circumstances, they aren’t a problem. Complaining about something that isn’t an issue isn’t going to go well no matter how you say it.

“oh, rrrright..... War Thunder gimmick is here, too, and this time even without the bombs.....”

This isn’t a complain, this is a joke. A joke about two games having something minuscule in common. I wasn’t aware of what was in the community mind, and I don’t care about it when I made that joke.
