it's just that I don't need IDs anymore to recognize a seething idiot, most people here are okay

i agree it's a bit long but it still looks good imo.
also wheeled ty-90 slinger when?

>>538509442
Oh, that's the armored car from Crysis Warhead.

>>538509442
That HEDP has 55mm of pen so it's going to be more bloat in the tree

>>538494049
word

everyone says the F3H is trash but I like it and I do reasonably well in it

Should I bother with t80ud and 2s38?
or wait for 11.7 premium lineup?

>>538509778
2S38 is P2W

Did aim7es get buffed recently? They seem way harder to chaff

the NA server been running like ass lately
I have to actually play on EU now

>>538509665
>55mm
that'd be too ass for the average germutt
it uses standard nato ammo so they're probably going to give it M430A1 with 76mm pen instead of copy pasting the heli round

>>538510146
You can't chaff them unless you didn't pre-chaff

>>538509665
its 73mm, american version is 55mm

>>538510308
You absolutely can chaff them in a notch.

Germans can go suck a green dick where's the Pansarterrängbil 300?

>>538510308
it's probably just the IOG kicking in.
Change altitude during the notch and they'll get defeated.
Or be brave and bold and 3-9 them in a head on and dodge every sparrow variant

Sweden needs more vehicles and germniggers need to be nuked

Also give Terrängbil 16

In fact you just reinforced Chinese claim to Goryeo, baka gaijin.

That doesn't mean he is necessarily wrong though. He could have spawned that many times and his teammates were shit enough to not have been able to protect his flanks, nor ping the enemies they are seeing

>>538522976
Because majority of the SPA that we have have minimum ranges that are practically the size of the maps, and the realistic flight time would make it practically useless.

>>538523612
Sure, but he rest of the team can't play the game for him.

>>538522976

What are you guys using for the <120kg bomb challenge this shit is ass

now that im done with bong for now
i dont know what to play next
its too late to grind naval event anyway
I guess I might take a break

>>538528481
I skip this BP but usually AM-1 cause it can carry tons
just use it for revenge suicide bomb

>>538528481
I just used any old shit with little bombs, in that airfield capture game mode in arcade

>>538528481
Su-6

are there any other planes with X4 on the dev server?
I have the F-8 but it's stock and I genuinely would rather use the fucking 190C at 6.0 than this dogshit at 4.0


>>538528481
A1H has 30 250lbs which are the strongest <120 bombs
but realistically Tu-2 is the single best option since it has a bomb sight and handling of a biplane

Give Sweden more cuties

>>538528481
I thought about dodging it but then the bote needful came around and it turned out to be surprisingly easy in naval.
Il-8 and P.108B were the absolute workhorses, honorable mention for AM-1.

i dont have to rush to grind japan right?
all new stuffs are worth getting and not in the way anyway

kraut 50kg do wonders, even set obj 279 on fire

state of this man's feelings?

>>538534235
Call me a schizo but i swear the task used to be 130kg originally, then 125kg and now 120kg, it might as well be 100kg next time.
I'm dead sure the change from 125 to 120 was because of the 300lbs specifically.

do people bring 10.0 IFV to their top tier lineup?

>>538534646
How does he play Japan with squinty eyes and tears blurring his vision?

>>538534785
I bring the VBCI 2 for cap rushing and scouting

>>538534785
Yes I constantly uptier the VEXTRA 105. Most 9.3-11.0 light tanks are perfectly viable at top tier and should definitely sit there. Shit like the BMP-2M, Type 16 or CV90105 are the perfect examples of this. Honorable mention the TOW Wiesel, Krizantema or the MAOPHISTO that should be at least a BR below top tier.

how do you have fun in 10.0+ ARB

>>538535832
Easy, the fun only ends when you start running into true ARH missiles (not phoenix) and then it gets stinky.

>>538535832
10 is still fun, 11.3 is the ceiling for me.

>>538535832
i fire my missiles at people and they die while dodging other peoples missiles
id rather do that for 1000+ hours than propfight for 1000+ hours again

>>538535832
I play China (and you should too)

>>538535832
10.7 still fine
you unironically see a lot of dogfight still thanks to all the J-7D flooding the matches, and they all dont have all-aspect
once you go pass 11.0 then it become kinda cancerous
basically when you have to start notching shits

Premiums are optional for this lineup, just sidegrades

>>538537648
PTL02/WMA301, PTZ89, AFT09, PGZ09
The T-54/Patton vismods are not worth playing as they simply get shit on by wheelnigs/Kpz-70s

Best xountry oxay!

>>538537648
pic rel
keep in mind that 9.0 changs is absolute peak and anything afterwards is simply downhill, the last good lineup you get is 11.0

if you are willing to suffer through grinding it you might want to replace the PTL-02 with the Gazelle

Your autistic gunboxes on wheels are boring and lame, seethe

>>538538410
no but it's actually pretty easy to aim once you figure out the ballistics on the rockets, bombs are extremely easy to aim anyways so those shouldn't be a problem

you can use the H-5 (actually just a copypaste IL-28 even though it wasn't just a copy irl) as an alternative and just run the 3000kg bomb

when you copy america's hw but forgot to paraphrase

Just so I'm perfectly clear here the maps are complete trash. They either don't know how to balance vehicles or refuse to do so. The monetization and grind is predatory in all regards. The level of bullshit when it comes to non-pens and bounces is exceedingly high and is just accepted by the community. The game play is literally on tier with Call of Duty where everyone has kills streaks they can use and you're constantly visible on the map through scouting. No new game modes have been added in half a decade. Cheaters are rampant. Then to top it all off they refuse to listen to the community.
Yet there is still 138,000 """""people""""" online? What exactly is going on with this game?

How does Russian top tier currently play? I have the complete lineup, but haven't touched it in a long time. The winrate looks atrocious. I'm trying to figure out if I should finally crew and spade the Mi-28NM or grind out the AH-64E after the patch.
The US isn't getting anything except the heli, but I don't know if Buk and LMUR are going to draw enough good players back to Russian top tier.

>>538544693
>ussr at 42.6%
UHHHH what happened sovietbros?

>>538544583
Gaijin is here to explain why monopolies are bad by helpfully providing an example

>>538544583
You're wrong or very inaccurate on all of those points.
>Then to top it all off they refuse to listen to the community.
Thank god. The "community" is a very, very loud minority filled with absolutely braindead retards. Doing what these people demand would ruin the game. In fact the few things gaijin implemented due to community demand made the game worse.
>What exactly is going on with this game?
It's fun.

>>538544779
>ussr wr only exceeds 50% once
so this is the power of the red menace...

>>538543692
Pretty good at 11.3 then

>>538545238
Yeah, I'd say so. Both the F-4E and J-8B, prominent launch platforms for the AIM-7E-2 and the nearly identical Aspide respectively, are quite good at that BR.

>>538544583
>refuse to listen to the community
Literally what? The last time they listened to the "community", we had the idea of APHE rebalancing and crew stun effects scrapped.

>>538545442
The "community" (as in spanish avenger and other retards in the forums) were heavily in favor of it. What saved us from that abhorrent change was some content creators, tournament teams and squadronbattles squadrons mobilizing actually competent players to vote against it. Without that these lobotomized mouthbreathers would've gotten their will again, like they did with the research nerf.

>>538545442
>The last time they listened to the "community", we had [objectively terrible ideas] scrapped
Yeah and they should do it more is the idea

>>538545937
>>community has been asking for a change to cas
>>lol no
Good. It shouldn't be changed just because some incapable players want to play only half the game. Also they've always been reevaluating and rebalancing CAS as necessary.
>>community has been asking for them to fix spawn camping.
>>lol no
Most maps got changed to make it was harder. It really isn't much of a problem. Most of the situations people complain about spawncamping in is minutes after their team effectively lost the match, with all enemies having pushed up to the spawn.
>>community provides documents proving a vehicle is wrong
>>lol no
Most reports are genuinely bad. Other times vehicles need to have some aspects kneecapped for balance reasons. With how many vehicles there are they're doing a pretty good job of it.

>>538546349

kill all comp players, roundhoud kick a comp player, slamdunk a comp players head in a trashcan

>It really isn't much of a problem
Ok now you're just trolling or being paid to say this shit. There aint no way in any world or reality you can say that and not be.

>>538546863
I get spawncamped maybe in one out of ten games. Consider checking possible sightlines instead of mashing down W.

Polish tree could get the Serbian T-72 white eagle or the Japs could get the Laotian one.

>>538546960
Most maps you can easily flank to the side in less than 30 seconds and get shots into the enemy spawn. Those that you can't got turned into meat grinder cod maps. Are you the resident schizo or something? Is this the CAS guy that defends it with his life?

Most maps are fucking shit.

>>538547134
And on the maps where you can actually shoot into the spawn that usuaolly exposes you to fire by enemies with spawn protection. There are still some completely broken spots for spawncamping, like the hill to the northwest of the northwestern spawn on Normandy. but let's be real, 99% of players don't use or even know about them.

>>538547484
You don't need 99% of the player base to know about it you just need 1 person in a game to play peak-a-boo with a spawn to halt the whole battle. I know because I've been that player. It really doesn't take much effort to catch 2 or 3 players before one notices where you are and even then that's just 1 player. It's insane that you're dismissing how bad spawn camping is.

>You don't need 99% of the player base to know about it you just need 1 person in a game to play peak-a-boo with a spawn to halt the whole battle.
And with 8-12 people per team there's a decent chance no one does that. And if one person is able to "halt the whole battle" that enemy team is doing something wrong. Good players have more match impact when actually contesting critical areas instead of spawncamping. Bad players usually don't know about these spots.
Sure, they should fix these spots. They have already done that for many of them. That doesn't mean it's a massive problem considering how few kills are made that way overall.

I think these vehicles could fill the Khrizantema-S tree.

It's pretty impressive, honestly. If you check the history on wtdataproject there's also very little sway in that, except for obvious outliers like the addition of the Cent Mk 2 and Harrier GR.7.

They do, unless you're playing something made from tissue paper instead of a competitive top tier MBT.

They are all now worth 6mm and the spall from long rod apfsds pens ~12mm, its a good thing though, spall liners were a one sided addition that only benefits leopards

Very convenient.

>>538552293

Why doesn't the Abrams have spall liners? Every single variant of the Leopard 2A5/6/7V has it.

>>538552297
> its a good thing though, spall liners were a one sided addition that only benefits leopards
You're probably right, especially now that the CAS deficit for Germany and Sweden has become less of a disadvantage for the lineups. But if they're nerfing them that hard they might as well not have added them in the first place, would've stopped thousands of US players from getting rage induced anneurysms.

Wasn't deemed important enough by the MoD to add them for whatever reason. There was a good writeup on that somewhere, but I can't find it right now. All the incoherent screeching about it made that topic a mess to navigate.

They still are incredibly handheld against small apfsds, you get plenty of time to react to some bmp nigger spraying your side, and they still negate all damage from the HSTVL

>>538552196
How should players fight in this game in your opinion?

>>538553486
Also heat, atgms, and CASgroid stuff all of which still produce "small" shrapnel that gets stopped by the liner

Is it even possible to fly helicopters in GRB between the 7.7 and 9.7 range? I had somewhat some luck rocket rushing in the 7.7 jap heli in a full down tier but I hardly ever get a full down tier.

Shouldn't this only help against helicopter ATGMs? The plane launched stuff (and soon the chink/russian F&F missiles) just overpressure you or have gigantic HEAT warheads.

>>538555390
>The way it's represented on Russian tanks being effective against APFSDS even from the sides is complete horseshit though
That's exactly what relikt is for, and considering that modern darts have design changes explicitly to make them less vunlerable to ERA with heavy flier plates indicates that it generally works.

In reality, modern ammunitions like DM73 will slice right through the relikt and send your turret into space

>>538556017
>dm73
dm53 in game has era bypass properties irl but not in game

What the fuck does this mean?

>>538556017
DM73 is just a slightly higher pressure DM53, but it probably wouldn't matter in most situations, just like in game, sure. Also I'm pretty sure the Germans already put some anti ERA features in that one.
M829A3 added a breakaway steel tip and fattened up the dart to better deal with new, anti kinetic ERA. Other new munitions would be stuff like Shard Mk.1/2, KE2020neo, KE-W A4 and AKE-T. I know the Japanese and Koreans have something too, but I forgot the name. The chinks probably have something too.

>>538555675
"relikt" component is only put on the turret and glacis.
The stuff in the side skirts is composed exactly the same way as Kontakt

>>538555458

>>538556815
DTC-10-125 has anti ERA composition and has 680mm of pen IRL (keep in mind China tests ballistic properties on a much stronger steel than WT's calculator, so the number in the game will be higher). Can't be bug reported because it's classified information that got leaked.

>>538557768
improves crew morale just dont tell them whats inside)))))))))

>>538557842
>Can't be bug reported because it's classified information that got leaked.
Heh, forgot about that.
I think they said in some Q&A, devpost or dev server stream that they're not planning on implementing anti ERA features on darts that should have them, and don't plane to add munitions like A829A3 that offer little advantages besides that, for balance reasons. Which is understandable, unless they get some new prototype shit it would mean Russian and China no longer have even remotely competitive top tier tanks.

>>538557807
Every module in any vehicle has hitpoints

ARB pays way better SL than GRB. Not because it actually pays more but because battles are over in 5 minutes and not 15 minutes.

>>538558681
eh, not if you use wagers

>>538558369
Makes sense, excuse my retardation. Never considered how the white/yellow/orange/red/black mechanic is handled internally.

Alright, how do I spade this?

>>538559530
>9

>>538558681
as other anon says, 10(5 real) kill wagers are literally free SL in GRB especially with broken lineups like swegroid 3.7, set your brain to autopilot for one hour and boom 1.5mil+ SL
you do have to be careful to not activate the almonds though, or shit like picrel happens, 300k SL from this match was definitely not worth the stress

>>538559530
I tried playing choppers but every time I would just get missiled out of the sky without any counterplay. It was fun when two non-missile choppers were shooting at each other with guns and rockets only on the rare cases

>>538559840
I'll probably do that, the birthday sale is only a bit more than a month away and by then the Vikhrs should be rank III. At half price this isn't quite as ridiculously expensive.

>>538559863
Yeah, spading helis is just a pain in the ass. Heli EC is borderline unplayable and has shit rewards, the tank assault mode gives mediocre rewards and you have a high chance of your team just shitting the bed, in tank RB they're unplayable.

>>538559847
Sweaty high kill matches are the most fun I have in this game.
I just play whatever I want for fun with the kill wagers in GRB. With decent lineups (which you should use anyways) they're borderline impossible to lose.

Shit, I was hoping for the entire UFP to block top tier rounds. If that were the case this thing would probably be pretty good. Has anyone tested it with all mobility upgrades yet? It should handle significantly better than the T-80BVM I think, the engine is like 50% stronger and the reverse speed twice as fast.

>>538562737
I would never play tanks like that without expert crews. It makes a massive difference.

>>538561703
People still instinctively avoid it because of it's fucky nature. Also DM53 is the best MBT round in the game. 3bm60 is slightly less penetrative. Depends on who you face in a match, but it should suffice.

>>538561703
Why did you expect more armor? It's literally just a branch off the T-80 with more ERA slapped onto places that didn't need it and solved no problems with the Russian MBT weakpoints. The engine is 1200hp so slightly weaker than the BVM at 1250hp, but the reverse speed is the main selling point because of the different transmission which is why it should fit perfectly into the Japanese MBT play style with the trade off of less speed for the ability to occassionally not explode violently when shot at.

>>538564714
reddit. The ERA sucks compared to it's irl performance that's been proven to work at least 400mm kinetic.

>>538564714
Sure, but three nations have Leopards, and M829A2 also punches straight through. Even 3BM60 does for much of the area.

>>538565223
>Why did you expect more armor?
I mean the T-72B3, B3A, T-90M and T-80BVM all have workable UFPs with only the drivers viewport being a weakspot. I kinda expected this to be the same.
>The engine is 1200hp so slightly weaker than the BVM at 1250hp
Shit, I was looking at it in arcade. No clue why that switchen between trees.

>>538534646
type "using superior japanese tech" to throw it into a seething frenzy

>>538565774
The UFP should be more or less the same on the T-84. At least in actual use. Muscle memory is going to make people identify it as a soviet-style mbt and aim around the UFP instead of at small green spots in the armor viewer.

>>538563780

It really doesn't feel like the thing loses that much crew with destroyed turrets once they've repaired them, but maybe I'm misremembering things.

>>538561376
context?

>>538567654
Still better than Swedish "we used one as a range target" Tiger II

>>538568159
Where's your context hat?

>>538568106
The thing about crew death in shi(t)ps is that once something has been destroyed once, it's rebalancing remaining crew. It's actually taking crew from other parts of the ship and that's why repairing and reload starts to get slower as you lose crew. That's why destroying a turret on a full health ship can do like 15% crew loss but hitting a nearly dead ship in the turret might do 2% loss.

>>538568818
That makes complete sense. I'm pretty bad at naval, I just remembered how frustrating it was trying to get the last 25 or so % down to a kill on US light cruisers with the Prinz Eugen.

I have tried machine gunning the flying menace but they do not react to my fiery presence. What is occurring?

>>538594450
zov

I'm having way more fun with the BF-109 and Re.2000 than I am the P-51.

Aesthetically, I've always adored the MC.202 and BF-109 F-4 Trop.

>>538600664

awright

>>538550279
It really shows up the nig three, that bongs can get that consistently with those vehicles.

How come I can manage to shoot down more fighter jets with my quad .50 cal truck than with modern AAA?

>>538604840
I don't believe you.

I don't think I can play at higher BRs in ARB. I'm getting raped at 3.0 so far...

>>538605409
Which planes? I'm just now getting up to around 3.0, myself.

>>538602209
Hartmann so based...

>>538606004
German TT, went from He 112 B-0 (2.0 BR) to Fw 190 A-1 stock (3.0 BR). So far this Fw sucks, though it might very well be skill issue on my part

So I reach 10.7 bong now
but do I go back and grab Desert Warrior?
desu I also have shir but I dont know if I want to play 10.0 at this point

Do I play China or Japan?

>>538606660
jap, for oblot

>>538606324
I never used the Fw 190 because I don't like how it looks, but I figured it would've been alright. I don't know, though. I've always been a BF fan. I only had those and the Italians click with me recently, myself; I struggled a lot with American/Japanese/Russian fighters. Couldn't even land a hit in the P-51.

Is there any specific thing that you wish the Focke-Wolf could do better? I chose BF-109's because I noticed they climbed a lot better than the P-51, and didn't seem as fragile. Those were the two biggest problems I had with the other planes I was using.

French fighters are alright, but desu I just like French rep more than anything.

Is chink new recoilless basically from BP basically the same thing as type 60 from jap TT?

I just played 7 hours of ARB today, my head is fucked and tortured kek

>met someone with 100 "peaceful atom" awards
Holy based

>>538607247
>Is there any specific thing
Wish it would climb up faster after I get close to the ground in an unsuccessful spiral dogfight, and that it would turn better during said spirals
Perhaps it'll get better after I research all of its mods, but now that I look into the Bfs, they might be what I'm looking for, thanks for pointing them out

ZTZ-100 when?

>>538601783
I havent played in 2 years, just came to check back randomly
But one of the last things I did was make an alt account to play nothing but the C202 and C205 variants and it was some of the most enjoyable time with this game.
Love my Macchis, love my Italian plane friends, please keep flying them.

>>538611117
The map is fine, the problem is the undertiered germgroid railgun with LRF at 7.7

I dont like m44 cause its ruining all the KV and churchill fun
I like paladin even if its fucking in every tree cause it let you deal with jagtiger or other bushnigger TD sitting on wild flank from the front, and it still required skill to aim
I dont like pzh2000 or vidar cause laze auto aim get rid of all the skill floor required to use them now everyone just lob HE from anywhere ruining the BR

High velocity/LRF shitbarns were the worst thing added to ground rb in a long time, other howitzers were at least fun and required skill in that their shitty ballistics were a handicap but pidars are pzh2k are completely retarded point and click adventures

>M44
>basically the same as dicker max/sturer emil but even easier to kill

>paladin
>same playstyle as an IS-2, but you die to .50s

>pidar/pzh
>pretty much a top tier tank that faces ww2
>closest thing (lolpen railgun with lrf and no stab) is the amx 30b2, which is 8.7, easier to kill, shitty dart instead of HE, no autoloader

Pzh should be a minimum of 8.7, pidar 9.3 because gen 3 thermals

>>538612056
>AMX-30B2
>shitty dart
I think the AMX-30B2 dart is pretty good as far as 'first' APFSDS rounds go.

>>538612631
Well yes but im comparing it to giganigga 155mm HE

>>538612694
yeah, the 7.7 LRF HE slingers are shameful bullshit

all tanks should lose their LRF

OH SAYYYYYYY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEEEEE!

at what BR where half of your team disappear after one death?
10.7?

>>538619345
Starts happening in premium spam territory for top tier, so anything after 10.3.
I was playing 10.7 Bongs, and funny part is, most of the leavers weren't even in premiums.

>last enemy (Mirage F1C) chases my F-111F
>gains on me but he's out of missiles

Alright the F-111 is a funny plane. I don't even need missiles to kill people.

>>538619497
that is because bong premiums suck dick
if the blacknight or 2E is the premium instead of the TES I bet there will be billions of them

>>538619345
Anything above 3.0

What country should I play for maximum SPIKE abuse?

CCIP/CCRP with historical limitations instead of using the exact same code path the game uses to simulate the actual projectiles when?

>>538543242
Would've looked so much better with newer engines, and honestly if they had marketed it as a gen 4.5 It would've sold like hotcakes to shitter nations

>>538619754
that's as racist as asking for it to be proliferated to all of the aircraft that had them

How do people make laser guide bomb like paveway work in actual matches?
you cant fiddle too much or your plane will lose its track and the bomb even with camera pod
the bomb will always veer off into unrecoverable direction if the camera was to lose the sight of the target for 0.01 second
it always required you to be high and fly over the target, which always get you shot down before the bomb reach target
satellite bombs like JDAM or AGM like maverick are just much easier to use, since you only need one second to deploy it, sure JDAM might miss a moving target but its much safer to use
heck even retarded bomb is much easier to use than laser guide bomb
the only time I ever get it to work is when there are no more SPAA left or maybe in the F-117 but that plane also has JDAM anyway

>>538619565
but you dont get any score from that
so joke on you

>>538620541
I did get the kill at the end. He J'd out and I got the proximity thing. Here I thought WT added a maneuver kill mechanic.

>>538620280
ez mode is just deploying them from a high speed mild dive
gigabrain mode is lofting them into the stratosphere over the target and then fucking off and only turning on the laser once you are at a safe distance and they are coming back down, but it requires some practice to get the angles right so it comes down with the target in the acquisition fov

>>538620280
the laser only truly stops tracking when you go back into targeting pod view unless you completely blind it
it gets a lot of extra gimbal

>>538621289
mmm I LOVE copypaste

>>538620280
what plane are you trying to drop them in? what this anon said works tho >>538620671

>>538621289
Wow! A closed top M44 with an even niggerer gun and 30 degrees of traverse at some BR it doesn't have any right to be placed at slopped across five separate trees! that's exactly the kind of thing I want them to stop adding! thanks, Anton!

How about they add some fit milfs like the B-1 and Tu-160

When?

How the FUCK does the Ariete weigh 65 tons while the Sepv2 weighs 66.1 tons?
What the fuck is in the Ariete that makes it weigh as much as an Abrams while having not even half the armor?

>>538621712
You're never getting them, they'd be sitting ducks for any missile slinger. The B-66 is effectively a Vautour counterpart that trades forward-firing armament for a tail gunner so it's not nearly as much of free food as those giant-ass bombers would be.

>>538622104
Use the 52 variant with the tail gunner, add it to 8.0 and call it a day.

>>538621289
fucking slop. This should be 7.0

cruise missiles fucking when
ALBMs when

nice

>>538622064
Ariete is just a rebranded OF-40

>>538622592
its 20+ tons heavier than the OF-40....

FIVE new tanks

Is top tier Russia really 40% win rate?
I haven't played it in probably 2 years, but I have like a 65% win rate in those vehicles and I am absolute dogshit at the game.

i4w
how is this thing compared to all the other F-4's i already have unlocked

>>538624130
2nd best f4 in the game, behind the f4s
Pretty good but suffers a lot in uptiers like every other 12.0

>>538612056
the AMX30 dart is weird, it seems to do more damage the further away the target it.
BRENUS might be my fav vehicle of all time, just got it a couple days ago and have been playing it non-stop
B2 is a good backup but the more HP and especially the ERA do wonders for this tank
its like the best counter rat vehicle ever

>>538618283
the AMX30s don't have oscillating turret but its even worse than some of the oscillating ones
AMX13 is probably the worst though
I think Gaijin just saw 'French" and make the guns bounce like crazy no matter what

>>538624130
Absolutely atrocious stock grind, but actually not bad at all once you get the sparrows. It can sacrifice all of its useless sidewinders for two more radar missiles, which combined with the HMD makes it quite usable at 12.0.

What the fuck since when were the type 90s 11.7 I swear they were 11.0

>>538621289
I'm curious if Gaijin modeled this correctly so you can only fire if you are still.
IRL the driver is in the turret and the drive controls are disconnected when the turret/gun is put into use

itd be amazing if its not and then bug reports start and this gay fucking piece of shit is nerfed into complete uselessness from the get go

>>538624130
all 12.0 fagtom arent all that bad
people always be like le agile eagle but really it doesnt really mean much unless you are turn fighting another phantom with one

you would think all these giant tanks would sound cool
but they all sound like electric bike
cant they all sound like fox?

>>538626097
the worst is the Centurion
worst (serious) tank in the game with the most annoying engine sound

>>538626097

>UI flags all have fucked up proportions now

No idea, never paid attention to the battle pass.

>>538621289
I'm so sick of time traveling howitzer
this shit make low tier worse to play
not to mention they just put this shit in every trees

what about time traveling howitzers with thermals and lrf... but wheeled?

What about overhead camera for artillery like in world of tanks.

>>538629423
how about this

I don't understand coastal boats.
Sometimes nobody shoots at me and I get 12 kills that match.
But most of the time i'm dead within 15 seconds of spawning in all 3 vehicles with barely a chance at sinking the guy shooting me.

Spawn, instantly shot at by a big gun, 85% crew loss and everything is on fire, then finished off by some machine gun.
Also some "Coastal" ships are so heavily armored even 40mm guns do fuck all and using HE to try and start fires does even less damage.

I just realized that japan has the best paladin
cause it has autoloader and like twice lower reload than other m109
but then they have the worst long howitzer cause it doesnt have laze finder

>long howitzer
GLORY TO THE RISING SUN!

>>538629314
so brutus?

you know its coming
why does gaijin have such a hard on for these gay shit vehicles

why is t55 AM-1 9.0 now?
I demand a refund

>>538622013
Funnily enough convair was thinking of upgrading the F106 along similar lines to compete with the F-15.

>>538624978
Since the most recent BR changes a few weeks ago, Gaijin raped them because Crapan isn't allowed to have anything nice

So when they introduce the M55 to half the tech trees, what reload rate will they give them? Everything I've read says anywhere from 1 round every 1 to 2 minutes.

>>538635773
isnt the whole point of challenger 2 is because they dont want german building their tanks?
