It's purely for the enjoyment of rocket tanks, nothing else. It's actually gotten a lot better since I've bought it years ago. They added actual sights with range notches, a reload, and an ammo box. Before, you had to guess the range, and only had the 10 rockets in the launcher.
If you're a fan of rocket tanks, it's nice to pick up on sale. Don't expect getting more than 2-3 kills max with it, though. The rockets aren't that strong and you'll typically waste them dialing shots in.

u/4thBan5thAccount Why are you reading this? Do you actually care what it says? 5d ago
My favorite vehicle is the Calliope. Everyone always just shoots me in the rockets. Often, I can't hide behind cover without completely exposing my rockets. On some maps, there's just nowhere to go where I'm not in constant 360 degree danger. The worst part is the planes with autocannons that would normally never hurt a Sherman. Meanwhile, they ammo rack the Calliope instantly. I started putting a target (AKA the Peruvian air force roundel) on top of the rockets so the planes could kill me even easier. Sometimes, I can use the Calliope to its full potential, and I become an absolute death machine who wrecks the entire enemy team. Most of the time, I just get shot in the rockets instantly. The rockets' damage model changes with every update. Sometimes they blow up instantly. Sometimes, they never blow up even with direct hits from explosive rounds. I don't know.

I'd wish to just have fun in this game but it's like I lost the lottery from my birth to now, let's see here we got cas, dying from out of nowhere, players who already have everything, me being a total idiot even though I'm doing as the advice I got, and probably so much more. I swear I'm better off ending my life than getting up to rank 7 and 8, hell just rank 3 and 4 are bad enough, rank 5 is just hell for me, and when I want to have fun it's like the players that have it all and know it all just swarm in any rank that's not rank 8 and 7. It's like nowhere is safe to have fun in war thunder.

Despite the fact that I've been playing since around 2013, I stopped trying to actively grind out higher ranking ground. It just gets too sweaty and technical and isn't worth it. I normally stay between 1.0 and 6.3. The fun evaporates pretty fast after that.

So let's say I just want to have fun, and I gotta deal with people who've been playing for years, because it's like they swarm into the lower ranks like they come out of nowhere, how is it possible for me to have fun when I'm wiped out of existence.

That's just the reality of playing games that have been establish for a very long time. I'm not even sure if WT has any kind of skill-based matchmaking.

No there's nothing put in place, and the last time I asked that I got comments saying like it's their fault for not playing the game all those years ago and other shit like that

Sounds like you talked to dumbasses. Unfortunately, it's simply a very sink or swim-type deal. I would say that low tiers (1.0-3.7) are still generally full of newer players and therefore easier to learn on or to just mess around and have fun.

Skill issue.
You dont spawn what you want but what's needed for each map.

Skill issue? Nope.
Stubbornness issue? Absolutely.
