This is for War Thunder, but other gamers may be able to relate to this.
I notice many people constantly rage at video games, to the point of smashing things around and screaming out of their lungs.
What if I tell you, that you don't have to do this?
The best course of action is managing frustration is not to play at all.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
If you find the enemy team too skilled - leave.
If you find the enemy team using OP tanks that you can't reasonably tackle - leave.
If you find the enemy team using higher BR tanks that you can't compete against - leave.
If you find the enemy team using CAS that you can't shoot down - leave.
If you find your teammates too weak - leave.
The key is to not play into the hands of unfair matches.
I am not saying to leave if the enemy team has 20% better skills than you and your team. But if they have pay2win items or OP items and are massive sweats that they can one-side your team, then the perfect solution is to leave.
The Iraqi army of 2003 or Venezuela of 2025 provided the perfect template; if your enemy have overwhelming firepower that resisting is likely to get you a far worse outcome, then throw your hands up and just go home.
Far worse outcomes can translate to feeding free kills to unjust enemies, or worse, some games have repair costs that make the players pay for spawning and dying.
Sun Tzu said: "If a battle cannot be won, don't fight it".
The more you do that, the more that they begin to notice that people are rebelling against such matches, and the more the administration will be forced to respond by appeasing the playerbase.
There is no need to get mad over what you can't control. It is a video game, and if you are not having fun, go to the next match or go outside for a walk.
