New patch when?

>>538152191
november

>>538140089
>>538141924
These two should be in the TT after the Yak-141 to give the Soviet tree brand-new answers to the Eurocanards. The MiG-29M and Su-27M should be the premiums/event vehicles since the MiG-29OVT and Su-37 in the TT are the same exact planes respectively but better (TVC) and that's usually how it goes (Mirage 2000C-S4 and S5, Kfir C.2 and C.7, etc).

>>538152191
end of october, more or less coinciding wit the sales and birthday event

>>538152191
Between now and then.

Why do we care about the new patch again? There's nothing in it.

>KF-21

Man, jap top tier will be fun

Are Sea Harriers good? I need something to grind rank 7

play brazil

>>538155201
I like watching the client update on steam

Does anyone else have trouble with laser guided bombs when dropping from high altitude? It seen like when the bomb locks onto the laser, it super over-corrects to the point where the laser goes out of the seeker's view and it just drops somewhere in the completely different location, not even anywhere close to the CCIP indicator

>>538155558
The Squadron one is quite good at getting high then raining down 9L's on unsuspecting/occupied enemies. Same as the premium harrier but that's 0.3 BR higher.

>>538155558
Why wouldn't you use the FGR.2

>>538155201
nobody is excited
it's the most nothingburger update in recent years

>>538156253
because AIM-9G and Skyflash (AIM-7E) at that BR are complete ass these days

>>538156341
I'm looking forward to the pretty missile contrails

>>538156217
When tossing them sometimes, yeah. It's weird, I don't really know what causes it. If you can CCIP them close to the target I sometimes turn the laser on just for terminal approach, but that's cumbersome. If possible I use relatively steep approaches, those never cause problems for me.

>>538156227
Isn't that the same J-7D does but with worse aircraft and missiles?

LMURape

>>538156635
I've noticed that too, it's just that it has never done this until fairly recently

>>538156916
I wonder how well a fairly small HE warhead will do against MBTs
If it manages to hit the roofs most of the time, it should be more reliable than Spikes

>trying to get my 5 kills for my wager to advance
>3 games in a row my team have been literal terminators
wtf...

>>538156834
Pretty much yeah. You have less speed and WAAAY less range on missles but the playstyle is about the same

>>538157123
best fnf right now

>>538141689
Soon...

>>538157304
Actually after looking at the stats, it has over 19KG TNT equivalent, that's not bad at all

Why is it always the 50%-or-lower-winrate blues at the boittom of the scoreboard who complain about the team in chat?

Should i send this do gaijin? So they add the Fenice and make it stronk

Those just look like really bad 3d models.

>>538158046
Yeah i know, it's a shit channel with AI voice and script and "le epix remix royalty free music" in the background. Everything the channel says it's retarded, i don't watch it. But it was on my feed lmao.

This said, about the AW249, i think that helicopters are inherently obsolete in battle right now, but i've got a close friend working at Leonardo and they might be having breakthrougs in drone swarm technology and they are testing capabilities on the Fenice.

>>538157741
Oh it is. At least in the J7D if you miss your shot you go on a straight line and extend away. Good luck doing that with a harrier lol

How should you grind japan's jets? I have the saber now, I figure alpha jet into f-5 into f-15
is the 11.0 phantom worth using over the f-5?

>>538158298
>bad 3d models.
look at the rocket pods on appache
it's AI

love me chieftain mk 10, simple as

>>538158489
A6M5 Ko into finishing RankV, then F-5E-FCU with a talisman into RankVIII, then play every jet you like.
The squadron F-5E-FCU is better than the tech tree F-5T-SCU.
The Phantom can be good if you know how to use a missle truck but overall the F-5E is just broken right now, i'd only use that for the grind.
For the fun, play both the F-15, the F-16AJ, the F-2 and the Jas39C

ZTZ-100 when?

>>538158489
T-2 is pretty good

>>538158489
FCU is literally the best F-5 in the game
also the F-16AJ is actually pretty good at 12.7

Man the TTAAB lore of war thunder is fucking wild.
Not many people play it, so there are 3 top squadrons who recruit every good player into them, and only play by 4-stacking in voice comms. Those people have bad blood against each other (like horde and alliance in fucking warcraft-tier) but obviously the random timmy into the game gets obliterated during their never-ending skirmish.
And then there's a fourth party:
>an incel neet basedguy with a squeeky voice
And he's so good that rapes everything in a lobby, even the 4 stacked sweat teams.

And then those squadron LITERALLY tried to dox him, to false flag his profiles into ruining xhis life or getting him banned (without success until now)
So much that this cuck had to activate the privacy mode changing his name for every match... but the fucking squadron sweatlords literally made a spreadsheet of all the possible names he could have so they can spot him with a fake name and gank him...
and YET this cuck still rapes the sweatlords by hopping squadron to squadron with a fake name to be "masked"

Total AUTISM

>>538158489
T2 Early premium if you can wait a whole year for its anniversary, otherwise what >>538158951 said.

AV-8S if you have the money to burn. Don't try to turnfight with it, just take opportunistic missile shots at flareless jets fighting friendlies.

Top tier air arcade battles

>>538161521
>>538161225
>>538160583
>>538158951
Thanks anons I will go for the SCU then, and maybe try the T-2 though I do not expect a flareless jet to be very fun at 9.7

>>538161995
You can use ghetto flares.
If you have an SL earner you can easily just grind up by spading trash along the way without wasting money on random prems.
Also a talisman on a good plane like the Alpha Jet or F16AJ is a much better investment.

>>538161437
Should be based, however anyone playing arcade air higher than props is cringe.

>>538161995
Just keep your speed at about mach 0.9 minimum and you are fine. Dodging missiles without flares is fun

>>538161437
oh is it that one youtuber guy

>>538162336
I think so as well, and i ONLY play ARB, but i have to admit something after watching how an AAB match developes:
Playing TTAAB takes way more skill and game sense than playinh TTARB and the skill ceiling is actually higher, even because they get cooler maps.

>>538161995
I wouldnt get T-2 they are just not fun to play
AV-8s can be fine but I still wouldnt get it
desu even SCU is still kinda meh
for the F-5 its either FCU or bust (dont know about TCU yet)

>>538162492
yeah but he didn't buy any ad

>>538145328
>extremely busted T18E2 stays at 3.0 forever
>the AEC Mk.II, essentially the same vehicle but worse, gets moved up to 3.3
I hate the snail.

>>538158951
not op but pls spoonfed me for ground tech tree i got chi-nu II

>>538163269
tracks > wheels

Do commander leadership skill bonuses disappear when he buys the farm?

>>538163460
both of those have wheels you doofus

>>538161995
T2 Early, and the tech tree versions T2 and F1 get Zuni rocket pods which work well as pseudo flares. So long as you're not afterburning, you can fire 2-3 of those missiles 30-45 degrees away from you and misdirect an incoming IR missile. But most of the time, you should be going fast enough to be able to dodge them without needing to fire the rocket.

>>538163628
oh nvm i read it as the A.C.I. from the picture
my bad lol

>>538144261
got deleted. The ukie one remains
Anton's going to the gulag

>>538145328
>A.C.I
So this is why they think the Ram I can go at 3.0

Vehicles for this feel?

>>538164815
Fw-190 with Ruhrstahl X-4

>>538164815
Anything German in arcade mode

>>538163380
Alright, Chi-Nu 2 is basically a PzIV with less armour at 4.3. It's good by you cannot be retarded with it. Basically the same with the Chi-To and Chi-To late. This just shows how handheld the low tier german PzIV truly is.
Other gem is the Ho-Ri, that wagon is a fucking handheld niggerbunker even after the nerf of the model. I honestly HATED the ST-A1, ST-A2, ST-A3 but at least for me this was the only suffering.
Type74 and STB-1 at 8.3 are decent, but when you reach 9.3 you are set.
Keybind your hydropneumatic suspensions and have fun with the Type74 and the Type16 with their handheld rounds that are now decompressed (i used to playto play them against Leo2a4 and Abrams before the decompression, and the Type16(FPS) even had only the shitty M735 round.
You are the king of hill peeking and you can UFP everything.

Their autocannon gokarts are fun if you like the playstyle, then you reach the Type90 and the TKX. They are basically a sidegrade of an abrams (less survivability but faster firerate and good mobility) so you should play it as a light tank and be a master flanker.

>>538165983
have fun? yeah, I know

>>538145730
*didn't
you have both italian and swedish german tanks now

>>538165773
into the struggle buss i go ,thx

>>538164815
when you get a full downtier with Maus

Is this thing gonna be any good? Armor protection and reload seem mediocre, can't test drive for mobility.
And does this use the same Iron Fist APS as the Chally, in addition to the one on the front turret?

>mmW radar
>SALH
>IIR
I don't get how they cram all of that in there.

>>538169694
fuck, why didn't it attach the image

Should I bother with Tornado? or just beeline for Typhoon?
the Early F.3 at 12.0 seem nice to play
its seem like better FGR.2 that I'm using now at the same BR

Join LowIQ if you haven't a squadron yet

>>538169694
there is a reason that variant of it didn't enter service, but gaijin is too scared to add MMW radar missiles even though dual spectrum smoke exists so we will just have to deal with protoshit missiles

>>538145328
>e100
only owned by sweets and cheaters, has way better armor profile than the maus at the same BR, even lower now
>t18
also extremely rare, and low tier with good speed, ideal combo for experienced players to dab on newbies
>kv1b
used to be lower and face guns that had a hard time penning it, probably legacy stats as currently it's not fun to play
>is-7
rare event niggerbunker with buggy armor still seeing ww2 tanks, absolutely insanity
>A C I
probably same as the t18 though never played or seen this, most likely a sealclubber

>>538170019
Dunno. The missiles are better

>>538170523
>probably same as the t18 though never played or seen this, most likely a sealclubber
Smaller, roughly the same mobility, 2.8 s reload aced (as opposed to 5 s for the Boarhound). I'd argue it's just as good, even though I didn't play either of them much. Come to think of it I don't even remember what even the A.C.I is from.

>Japan gets the oplot
lol
lmao even

>>538170445
It's not really just about what countermeasures there would be I think. mmW radar absolutely sucks at dealing with cluttered environments. For GRB the seeker would only be able to differentiate somewhat isolated targets for the last couple hundred meters of the approach, and by then they're bound to be nowhere close to where you initially fired at.

>>538171227
>mmW radar absolutely sucks at dealing with cluttered environments
it can basically see straight through trees, though I am unsure with buildings

>>538170019
The early one is same missiles as Phantom but a great radar and AIM-9Ls
The BR might be a bit more tolerable now half the F-16s have gone up, but Skyflash still sucks compared to later model AIM-7s and R-27ER

>>538171341
Not what I meant. It has very poor angular resolution, so it can't differentiate returns until they're very close. At the start of a match there's 24 vehicles on the map in very close proximity, as the match progresses you have dozens of wrecks, all usually very close together. Check the thread on the AGM-114L on the forums, some autist made some pictures for it.

Ah, so this is that new torpedo on the Tu-14T.

It can be dropped from 10 km altitude.

fucking finally

>>538172236
>It can be dropped from 10 km altitude.
Does it have a parachute? How the fuck would that even work?
And is it guided? I don't see how it would be possible to hit anything otherwise with high drops.

>>538172656
uh, what?

>>538173075
I managed to research

>>538173463
But what?

is there no way to silence these retards just spamming air contact
i disabled their radio and it still doesn't shut them up

:^)

>>538139871 (OP)
Why is the aiming in naval arcade so dogshit?
>le just put mouse on target and le click, no need to actually lead or anything lel
>...unless enemy is doing literally anything, such as turning, in which case you literally have no means to hit target! No, there's nothing you can do about it, we literally force incorrect aiming even you you try to correct yourself!

Who thought this was good idea? Even WoWs lets you lead your shots.

I literally have easier time landing my shots in realistic but nobody fucking plays it

>>538172910
Rocket motor

>>538172910
>Does it have a parachute
yes
>And is it guided
no, and not in real life either

It took me awhile, but I got it.

Man J-8B is so much better than J-7E. Why are they even on the same br?

Also, post skins.

whaaat

>>538174697
GigaUFO FM, infinite flares, good avionics, solid missiles - not much to complain about.

>teamkilled by a SARH missile
that's new

>>538174206
Because gookjew are retarded faggots that don't play their game, they just look at "muh le statistics" and do fiddling based on that.

>>538170276
How many days of inactivity do you allow?

>>538176008
There's no hard limit. Unless you play like, once a week, you will be fine.

>>538174697
being forced defensive for the entire game while your team disintegrates around you

>>538173596
you can mod the voice clip to something else

>>538176073
Nigger, I play like 7 times a month.

>>538173619
guess I'll have to grind Japan.........

>>538174697
if this is your very first top tier plane then good job
time to learn how to dodge radar missiles

>>538176930
It's probably just because Thailand's F-16 use them, rather than proofs of Korea going to Japan

>>538173619
ANTON YES!!

>>538176846
That's...more than once a week.

>>538179124
what are you implying

>>538179204
I'm implying that at worst you gonna get fucking kicked out for inactivity. We have like 20 people with 0 activity, and a lot of openings.

what was it
did Cambodia even have an ir force

>>538182095
Nope. Cambodia is poor as shit, only has ancient t54s and t55s. Even Laos is richer than them. They have T72 white eagle models.

>>538182095
MiG-21s and some trainers

I haven't gotten a full down tier in 18 battles now at 9.0. Sure is interesting....

>>538182289
it feels that even if somebody does have mig-21 in their fleet these days and even if they can fly nobody actually sends mig 21 to fight anymore

>>538181408
You shouldn't disrespect your colonial master/great grandfather like that Kim.

In order to be a 4th gen you need to have good kinematics and BVR capability. What a draggy piece of shit lmao.

Fake 4th gen just like the Rafale.

No more 4.5+ gen copes. Bring in the actual 5th gens.

>>538182095
i still dont get it
why cant the cambodian at least get a pantsir/tor or two or something before starting the fight?
even if they get an old model that probably would not work in actual fight
but just by having it and showing it off on social media
would already deter thailand from sending dozen of CAS plane to bomb all their shits

>>538169436
thats the one already in game
the 11.7 one is the one that's getting added

That fat south african bus with the triple rocket launcher is supposed to be fire on the move and yet can't. It was in a document they used to change something else on it and just apparently can't read the rest.

>>538183317
stealth will never be properly modeled becasue it hurts the feelings of the russian people

but but I keep getting killed by it in warthunder

>>538183571
Gaijin said that war thunder is set in fictional world where there are no maulfunctions and every piece of equipment works just as engineers designed it
makes sense that pantsir works in war thunder and not in real life

>>538183317
anon you realise stealth is a long distance thing right? at the engagement distances we have ingame now stealth wont matter

>>538183571

exactly why the f-35 will be bad lol

>you can now land a plane in GFRB, j out, spawn a tank, then hop back into the plane
holy shit

>>538183117
The KF-21 is a fake 4th gen like the Rafale, designed purely for national LARP.

The KF-21 has bad kinematics.
The Rafale lacks BVR capability.

>>538183665
>works just as engineers designed it
lol, lmao even.

>>538183317
thats probably why all the next-gen stealth planes all have fancy super thrust vectoring shits and some unflareable IR missile
16.0 ARB matches will play like 10.7 BR

>>538183180
Most of the time, it's the KA-52 taking down all of these low flying drones, not the pantsir, Are Helicopters better at anti air?

being able to see who is maximum downtier in your game is really funny like that one guy with a jpz 4-5 is fucking you over haahahhaha

>>538183740

The F-22A is undoubtedly gonna rape everything else but I'm thinking the Su-57 is wining the dogfight, it has so much going for it in knife fights even besides raw flight performance.

f-22A will be TT
yf-22 will be premium
yf-23 will be event

>>538184981
>>538184298

>good for dogfighting

Have you niggers not seen what happens the moment shitters use their AoA buttons?

>>538185306
shitters use their aoa buttons in the middle of the map on the first person that passes them, in an actual 1v1 it matters

>>538183870
zamn this weeb sure has his sissyclit hard for korean stuff

>>538185306
Thrust vectoring is literally what turns the AoA button from a meme to a menace, being able to keep your nose pointed wherever indefinitely (as long as you have altitude) is a very powerful asset to have in a 1v1 when combined with HOBS-capable missiles.

>f22 killing anything
lmao it couldn't even kill a baloon

>>538185453
1v1 does not happen in top tier
90% of games end while most of the team slings missles at eachothers
>inb4 you're last one alive against last enemy
then he fires missle at you when you're less than 10km away from him

How about larger maps for sim and use of awacs? Or is that too much?

su57 is like a temu ad

>>538185717
>then he fires missle at you when you're less than 10km away from him
Why is this an issue? You can't defeat against missiles being fired by just one guy? Literally just notch, chaff and flare, there are no truly undefeatable missiles and there won't be if they never model IIR seekers.

>>538185717
yes i know it doesnt happen
whats going to make su57 f22 and chinese thingy strong are the good engines and good aoa in general

>>538187469
we already know the jap VT-4 is delayed

>>538187469
So they're doing infantry after all? I lost all hope when I learned the March 31st trailer footage was all Active Matter (which wasn't at all clear at the time since the tanks didn't appear in official footage of that game until just a few weeks ago).

If I show up on the map and there is a magic little icon above my head when I'm scouted then I should be able to have the same witch craft to let me know when I've been scouted.

all the infantry stuff is probably not for war thunder but for that infantry battle royale game they're making
it's not unusual for devs to hide parts for a new game in another game if it's the same engine

Reminder that Italy won WW2

what is the difference between the VT-4 and the VT-4A1? is it being added to just pad out the chinese tree?

>>538188368
APS

why is the dispersion on 30mm cannons so bad? especially the badger ifv

>>538189013
not russian

>>538189013
It's not... if you're playing a russian 30mm bmpnegrowagon

>>538182885
Oh, I should look at that tree more often. Is it any good?

I don't do tasks anymore but 120 critical hits? that's at least ten hours of gameplay right? what the fuck

Holy crap the tracking on the M247 and the M163 is terrible. Aim at the circle, in front of it, behind it, around it, it just doesn't matter. Maybe if the servers were decent, people played on the server closest to them, and people updated their internet it wouldn't be bad but this is beyond painful. I just hope proxy makes the M247 worth it. I'm about 16 battles away from it going at this rate.

>>538190041
like 70% of tasks are designed to be a waste of time to waste your SL on rerolling

>>538189109
>>538189461

Mi-28MN, I kneel.

>>538188261
>me on my way to spread lies on the internet

It's why I mostly prefer tasks like the one involving getting Thunderer and 20 base kills.

yeah I just buy the premium vehicles I want on the market for scraps as I am employed but this is fucking retarded

>>538188184
>team effort
KEK! BBCCR was on it's fucking knees without lend-lease. They should be thanking their AMERIGOD masters

>>538190549
I can reliably do small + medium in an hour to hour and a half, but I am also top 0,5% of players
How is an average player supposed to do the BP is beyond me, even games like WoT have 4 of "deal X damage", "win X games", "get X kills" and the like, so you are always progressing something at a reasonable pace

Those SPICE 2000 bombs look pretty damn cool.

>>538190102
The M247 with proxy is pretty good. Without it it's awful.

>>538190369

>Tiger II 105 ammo nerf
Increases penetration by 20mm, decreases explosive mass from 343 to like 125 grams.
>Coelian gets a new round
Still the same round but the muzzle velocity has been increased from 770 (AP) and 820 (HE) to 1000 m/s.
>Panther II engine nerf
Still 900 HP.

having collected information and sources on nato 30mm cannons and their dispersion being extremely incorrect and should be closer to 0.4 meters at 2km
what are the chances my bug report will still be ignored because they dont use the sources they want?

xD
guys they're using slow and old planes against jets!!

>>538191003
Shot at this aircraft 500 times and didn't get a single hit. That's just crazy to me. Shooting at the marker didn't work. Shooting behind or in front of it didn't work. Wiggling my mouse like a damn idiot didn't work. It wasn't doing ultra fast evasive maneuver and wasn't a billion miles away. Awful doesn't begin to describe the m247.

>>538191908
>Still the same round but the muzzle velocity has been increased from 770 (AP) and 820 (HE) to 1000 m/s.
The German 37 mm SPAAs have two HE shells, the better one (M.Gr.18) goes at 914 m/s and has more than twice the filler of the standard one. That one should always be used against air. It's not in the mixed belt, which is why you should never use it on those vehicles.
On the Coelian that shell now goes up to 1040 m/s. I only looked at the APHE shell until your post, but this is also a really great change. The thing is already superb against air, but this will make it even better in that role. The shells are now faster than the ones of the Praga, and I'm pretty sure they bleed speed slower too.

>>538192594
It's first order prediction, so if the plane does ANYTHING you end up missing. The firerate and velocity of the US 40 mm is awful compared to other radar SPAAs, so without proxy you're just fucked. With normal HE the thing is about as effective as the damn ZSU-37-2 at 7.7.

>>538192681
>>538191908
forgot pic related
I wonder if this will cause it to go up in BR. It already was arguably the best non radar SPAA (except for the WZ305 of course).

>tfw this skin is 14 GJN

No fair, it's the only actual green skin on the 105 Tiger.

>>538193364
>mfw this tank is unobtainable
at least you have it

Just need half a dozen more of these and I'll eventually get the proxy.

>>538193607
If it costs peanuts, then it's fine. For some vehicles buying a cheap skin is actually preferable over playing with a normal skin. See the Japanese Tiger in its default camo.

Why do Russians and Chinks get all of their latest equipment vs NATO which is 15-20 years behind at all times?

How does killing MBTs work exactly? I engaged a demonic MBT with both my Leo I (stock shell) and german M41, and I couldn't kill anything other than single crew members, engaging it from the side.

>>538223196
Honestly, AI gunners are probably more reliable than I am.

I can lead my shots for days, but they always fall just short of whoever is pursuing me, and the guns just swivel too slowly to keep up if they make any sudden movements. I don't get how anyone uses them. I just don't get how I'm supposed to use them in RB with only a few hundred rounds.

>>538222762

you said this last patch too

Who the fuck mentioned WoT? that piece of trash already killed itself.

still love my god emperor gaijin

After not getting a single full down tier in 23 battles at 4.0, 5.7, 6.7, or 7.7 I think it's safe to say I've lost every ounce of will to play this game. It's just idiotic that I can run into the same person 3 times in a row and each time they are in a full down tier yet here I am not being able to get a single one. Starting with B ending in P feel free to kick me to make space.

>>538222069
>russian game
>russian weapons are OP
>REEEEEE
what causes this?

>>538245549
4.0 and 5.7 practically never get full downtiers
6.7 sometimes gets them
7.7 gets them very frequently

>>538243846
Ever since I grinded the nations I want, the only fun things left to do are playing ww2 with friends.
Air sim was interesting, but controls are a hot mess for anyone just looking to play casually.
This game will stay shit as long as it spoonfeeds the nigger attention span whores and no soul normies.

>>538245549
make buy or steal a new account
i get down tiers at least half the time on my friends account and hardly ever see them on my account
confirmation bias it may be but it's confimration enough for me to believe they rig the shit outta match making

>>538246708
Their refusal to fix maps or improve game modes has sucked all hope out of the game for me.

>>538246708
>casually

even considering how flawed WT's simulator mode is, these two words don't go together.
just stick to arb with your $70 hotas

>>538248040

okay?
The MiG-15 in the soviet tree is a nork one

>>538247550
ARB is a boring death ball. Been barely able to grind the air trees to the end. You can see it even in the most popular air youtubers, it requires a certain amount of autism to be able to play this shit for multiple matches.
WW2 ARB is good if you get a small player count match. Recently got a historically accurate match like that on Sicily and it was pretty kino, but a fairly short gem of a match among a gorillion coal veins.

i get down teirs all the time. i havent spent a cent on this game. paypigs keep hruuuuing hahahahaha

>>538247550
Sim CAN be enjoyed casually with just M&K and it's legitimately better than a flight stick, but only at top tier where you can rely on your radar, RWR, missiles and SAS to do the hard parts (searching for targets, IFF, killing the enemy with just general positioning instead of precise aiming, preventing you from spinning the fuck out of control) for you. The biggest thing you can get for sim isn't even a HOTAS, it's head tracking, and you don't need any specific hardware like TrackIR, Aruco works perfectly fine with just a normal webcam. TrackIR is a solution from the mid 2000s when PCs were very weak and needed some kind of shortcut (i.e. looking for an IR emitter, which is a much simpler task) to do the job, now they can very easily run image recognition in real time so TrackIR is basically outdated and definitely severely overpriced.

feel like they should do more on the pre-missile jet BRs

Where are the fags that said the Oplot would have shit armor and be stuck with 3bm22?

>>538245549
you have to look at what line up are you suppose to be downtier against
like you know german love their 3.7,6.0 6.7
so if you play russia or US you pick the BR accordingly
for russian people play their 4.3, 5.7 6.7
US have their 3.7 5.7 6.7
no one play 3.0 so of course 4.0 is not going to get downtier

>>538249050
we still don't know how good the armor is going to be
also the gun handling is dogshit

>>538249050
no one ever said that

>>538249537
I said that

>>538249213
>the gun handling is dogshit
I've been thinking about that, shouldn't all T-80s have 1°/s of vertical traverse too considering Oplot is a T-80 variant?

>>538249661
yuo see bratan, aktually t84 is not of t80 xaxaxaxa))))))))

ok 9.3 is fucking exhausting to play
I hate this BR

>>538250919
>advance to the rhine
>advance to the rhine
>sweden
very fun

ok x.y is fucking exhausting to play
I hate this BR

6.7 is legit where it's at, anything lower is torture and higher is cancer.
Just wish there was a separation between WW2 and CW era tanks

My first top tier jet
i4w?


It is insane how slow RP gain is without premium. When I had premium and using the F1C-200, you get double the premium bonus from the vehicle and the acc. Now I only get BNase+ Talisman, effectively double the base rate instead of quadruple the base rate.
Fuck gaijin really.

>>538251141
I like to play 5.3 with German panthers and 7.7 French.
But yeah if you dont have a nice lineup its so ass. Im not touch rank VI with french right now, im not going through the grind without premium, Im just playing for fun.

>>538251286
Insane handholding in every regard, at BR and below the entire enemy team has to play around you specifically and you're still quite deadly in uptiers.

>>538251141
4.7-6.3 are still fine
6.7 would be perfect if nigger 2000 is at 8.0 BR
getting lobbed by time travelling lazing howitzer in your ww2 heavy is not fun

>>538251286
Yep, german 5.3 is also pretty cool ngl. Started out hating the Panther D and VK, now I love them more than the Tiger 1
French heavies seem retarded, someday I'll try them

>>538188261
>Mission changes:

>>538239523
too busy getting to the olifant 2 before they change the tech tree so i dont have to touch the vickers nigger tanks

>>538251474
Elaborate pls, any tips on how to play?
Fly high and sling missiles? I gotta learn to effectively notch now against radar guided missiles.

AIM-7 I corkscrew and phoenixes I just multipath, but things will get interesting now.

>>538251621
I never really enjoyed the tigers, but the VK is certified hood classic, I pull it out towards the end of the match and it saves my ass.
Sniping with those Panthers and hitting targets eyeballing long distances is so satisfying, and the canon sounds so sexy.
Just gotta be careful not to overextend and having flanks covered, because the reverse gear and turret rotation speed suck donkey balls.

>>538252975
but you still have to get badger lmao
also vickers are literally the better tanks in bong trees
you can grab vicker 3 and 11
and basically skip chunk of stuffs when the patch hit
if anything I would even go all the way to vicker 7 so you can skip TTD as well

>>538252975
The Vickers are all great, what the fuck are you smoking?

>>538252975
>The badger
Jesus Christ why is that thing 9.0?

>>538253792
also i dont care, vickers tanks are all fucking ugly as sin

>>538253914
because both olifants are being move to vicker line so you dont have to touch badger if you just grab all your vickers now and wait for the patch
and the VMF5 is being moved to the botton of the SA line you also get to skip all the dogshit that is rooikat 1 and badger, you can easily get the foldered up MTTD if you wish

>>538253797
you're right, it should be 9.7

>>538253794
>human vs ground
uh oh

I wonder what do all the R&D people at vickers feel
they spend their all designing all the vickers tanks hoping it would be the best tank for the country
then the royal army show up take your shits apart and shit out challenger2
they are being treat like Northrop

>>538254238
Sounds like there will be no planes to spawn, so SPAA might get restricted too )))))
You guys did ask for a ground-only mode, right?

>>538254420
imagine being the dude who designed the EM-2, and some 40 years later a bunch of engineers with no experience with guns just shits all over your idea

>>538254084
if you knew my situation then you would know that the vickers tanks are not the way to go

>>538254841
What's wrong with vickers?

>>538255463
ugly, overrated

>>538255810
so british?

who else is mouse sim chad in here? jet noobs need not reply

>>538255810
sound like sour grape

>>538254789
if bullpup is so good
why dont more countries use it?
same with rifled cannon bore or the use of APHE
I think bong is just contrarian

How do I make CCRP auto release work?
How do I make bomb series work?

>>538256942
dont bother with bomb series
use that button where it change the number of bomb release instead
so you can adjust how many bombs you drop per press
you then pick a spot where you want to bomb, either with map click or with mouse look like how you stabilized AGM/guide bomb camera
then just fly to where you target and hold your bomb release button, your plane will automatically drop the bombs when in range

>150% booster
>team melts
>wings rip

>>538256923
They kept rifled barrels for fire support reasons, darts work better from smoothbore guns but more conventional HE/HESH shells are much more accurate fired from a rifled gun and I can only assume that the reasoning behind it was that a tank's primary use in actual combat is fire support against softer targets and decided to make a small trade-off in anti tank performance to make it significantly better at lobbing high explosives at things from as far away as possible. Supposedly it's been doing a very good job of exactly that in Ukraine, so I guess the designer's vision has been somewhat vindicated.

>>538257492
yeah for real, where is the desert storm kino?

>>538258250
but wont spg/howitzer be better in that role?

>>538258250
>Supposedly it's been doing a very good job of exactly that in Ukraine,
The only thing we've seen Challenger 2s do in Ukraine is get stuck in mud and catastrophically blow up when used offensively. Using a tank as bad artillery because it can't do it's actual job is not a good thing.

>>538258250
like I get it from a timeline standpoint when the challenger 1 still have rifle gun cause of all the inventory fuckery and they probably have millions L11 lying around
but for challenger 2 to still have rifle is just them gimping their own tank at that point
it meant they designed a whole new tank, a whole new gun but still went, >nah rifle is better
against everyone else in the world

>>538258471
I want you to sit down and take a good long think about why across the entire history of armoured warfare and into this very day, across every nation, the typical combat load of a battle tank almost always had a lot more high explosive rounds than anti-tank rounds.

>>538258471
Using it to level the border guard station with HESH at the start of Ukraine's invasion into Russia when the border guard refused to surrender under HE fire from other tanks, was pretty based though

>>538258250
>but more conventional HE/HESH shells are much more accurate fired from a rifled gun
nigga they are fin stabilised, they're more accurate than hesh troonery
not to mention glatgms
>Supposedly it's been doing a very good job of exactly that in Ukraine
the only thing it did was show that western tanks blow up more spectacularly than even T-64

>>538258432
in direct fire support? no

>>538257208
>use that button where it change the number of bomb release instead
I cannot for the life of me make this work.
>hold your bomb release button
This works. For some reason earlier I thought automatic bomb release in CCRP mode would automaticically release the bombs when in CCRP mode.

>>538257492
i just want someone to make something like this in WT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1DVJYxmO9g

>>538258792
>Ukraine's invasion into Russia
Huh?

>>538259383
Kursk thing

>>538259076
this one
the ripple

>>538254238
>catches a gorillion panzerfausts and dies horribly a minute after spawning
just like enlisted

>>538259447
I've tried that, and other binds and settings, but no matter what I do, it either drops one bomb, says bomb drop is blocked by current weapon selection, or drops all bombs for as long as as I hold down the button. It doesn't matter what I set the ripple quantity to. I've never been able to make my plane drop two bombs, or four bombs, or whatever.

>>538259831
you have to turn the bomb series off too I think
the ripple toggle actually just change how many bomb you drop when you press your secondary weapon button
which button do you use to drop your bomb?
is it the bomb drop or secondary weapon?

awareness or keen vision

>>538260017
keen vision show front
awareness show back

>>538258770
For close fire support, of course.

>>538258792
did you read it on reddit or something? sounds like a fairy tale

>>538260238
now now
next you are going to say shit like ghost of kyiv isnt real or something

>>538259959
I use drop bomb. I tried using drop bomb series, but it said blocked by weapon selector, so I went back to mashing drop bomb. Should I be using secondary weapin instead?

>>538260397
yeah try get rid of all the snowflake weapon buttons like drop bomb, rocket, missile whatever
and only have one button for secondary weapon
then another button for switching secondary weapon

>>538259831
it should work just as simply as this

Imagine if drones were removed haha, the game would be so much worse haha!!!!

>>538260840
they better add quad drone that can drop mortar shell then
or suicide drone
now we are gaming in realistic tank battle

>>538260540
>>538260601
I tried this and it worked. That you very, very much.

both the american and chine are more powerful than the pars but deal noticeably less damage to tanks

how the fuck is "accoustic" fuse a thing
how did germans somehow made a fuse that knows when to exploded based on fucking sound of a specific b17 engine
it seems much easier to make radar fuse than this

>>538263762
accoustic = radar

>>538263875
but I read that x4 fuze was tuned specifically to the sound of b17 engine

>>538231541
>>538241834
I didn't notice you answered the other guy but chubby is still justice

>>538263762
They probably couldn't miniaturize it enough to fit inside the missile, they never figured out VT fuses for anti-air shells before the war ended either. Probably had their priorities set at wunderwaffe instead, which was honestly a pretty dumb thing to do instead of massively increasing the lethality of your AA (and by proxy in-development A2A missies) when you're being pounded by bomber raids day and night.

>>538263762
They were so close to winning the war...
The allies do not deserve the win

>>538263149
why do you care about chinks? they should always suffer no matter what
>>538262938
lol lmao

>>538264324
>why do you care about chinks
i don't, i'm just pointing it out. it has a bigger warhead than the jagm but it's still weaker somehow

>new infantry texts:

Yeah I don't think this is for Active Matter.

what would even be a point on infantry when Enlisted exists

>>538265668
You can disable grass in gun sights, but have it on in tpp.

>>538265628
nobody want to play enlisted
especially paying premiums for 2 different games
if they just port enlisted into 4th mode of warthunder then I might play it

>>538266196
that might be it
gayjin might be preparing to make war thunder and enlisted into a single game and just add
>infantry battles
as another mode

>>538266192
thats what I end up doing but still

>>538266196
You forgot the elephant in the room: starting ANOTHER Gaijin grind is simply too much for the vast majority of WT players, as is having to unlock the vehicles you already spent hundreds of hours getting.

>>538266181
>no mg

holy rape victim

>>538266196
I liked the concept and decently enjoyed playing it but the horrendous grind/monetisation killed it stone dead and balance between players with lower level squads/gear and players with higher level squads/gear was a complete mess. It somehow managed to make War Thunder's progression look tolerable in comparison.

>>538266431
Still has more chances than any of the unarmed unarmored AA trucks.

>>538266414
maybe you won't have to grind vehicles again and as long as you have them in your TT you're good
maybe you will just have to grind infantry and weapon mods

>>538266870
Yeah, that's what I mean. It's one thing to have to grind infantry itself, it is a new thing after all, but the Tigers and IL-2s I already have? Yeah no, miss me with that shit. Also TONS of FOMO, like a stupidly ridiculous amount. Enlisted hardly gets any actually permanent content.

>>538266524
>chaparral

Tried wt mobile to get the japanese dd and holy shit is it a cesspool, everyone just spams the premium kv-2 which are complete niggerbunkers with a mobile aiming system
Also makes me appreciate wts monetisation system a bit even if it is shit too

so Gaijin is trying to turn war thunder into battlefiled

How so? I'll happily take a longer range (~11 km), faster Spike ER. It felt pretty good when I tested it.

>>538268898
Why would a live service game need a sequel? No matter how big the changes, even if it's a whole new engine, you can always do them as an update.

how do i grind britain

should i just use caernarvon?
