as soon as any discussion is made, wehrboos come in and complain we're just whining

it's like cockwork

please stop

>Oh, nice! A Burger vs Nazi event!
>Amerilard teams are 100% Amerispits and Spits

Truly a high-quality event with historical unit matchups
Obviously the P-51, P-47 and P-38 were merely creations of American propagandists))

Has anything changed for the better since last year?

take a wild fucking guess

>Has anything changed

"no"

>log on yesterday
>get my medium chest
>big one tomorrow
>log on today
>now the big chest has moved to monday

What the fuck?

Yea. We have some pretty good new vehicles.
Also some new maps and bounce mechanics.

Anything for planes though?

Nazis get 3 variants of a plane that had only 35 produced, and it's shit anyway.

2 versions of the P-61 added, it's shit

Sunderland and H8K3 added, they're _fun

>go arcade with 3 Antons
>30 kills in 6 games
>log out
why even bother with the RB events, they're all shit

What's the difference between the ki-61-l hei and the ki-61-l tei? Can't decide which to get. Then again they have quite long turn speeds. should I even bother with them at all?

Both have nerfed performance for no good reason
Hei has MG151s in the wings, Tei has Ho-5s in the nose, so obviously one is easier to use at longer ranges than the other.

>Not also going for the KV-2 1940

Brits are no longer "that nation nobody really plays or has a problem with", they're the latest meme. If you're not flying Spitfires and talking like SquireFlyer in the chat you're a fucking nerd.

I don't even play tanks

youtube.com/watch?v=UTFec_mrD-c

I would've done it if it was the nazi KV-2
why would I want another slav KV-2

>People talking like Squire in the chat


That shit makes me want to kill myself

They're overtiered, but can be fun if flown right.

I fucking hate this. Literally nobody says "mmm, marvellous tea today."

It's so fucking painfully autistic and it makes me want to kill myself.,

>a cup of Earl Grey please

I remember someone saying that in the BoB event, I think I was in that fucking match

>When you drank too much vodka and forget your designing a plane, not a tank

Yes, those are two 75mm cannons for maximum liberation )))))

Literally r/warthunder: the post

Now I see what the Russians were doing with those Rolls Royce Wellands we gave them.

I'll just join the rest of the usual shitpost crew then.

>actual generosity

wew

lucky bastard

So which of the Jap fighters should I fly then? I mostly wanna do dogfighting and I heard the japs are quite good at that. currently I'm flying a ki-43-III otsu and I'm working towards the a7m2, but I have no idea what I should put in the other 3 plane slots.

Whatever Zero you currently have. Ki-61 otsu is good too, but much more of an energy fighter than other japanese planes. It's pretty much a japanese 109 or 202.

pretty sure ki-43 is king of low speed sustains

I wonder what the muzzle velocity and rounds are based off of. The F-34? ZiS-5?

>Arado zoom climbs up to me from 2.5 km below after turnfighting an F-84

Well okay, fuck you too

It's okay, it's enjoyable to fly but the ammo limits it somewhat.

It's also an absolute meme for putting out fires for some reason (or at least it used to be).

This is one of the good tanks, right?

>all that fucking autism
>that sound of his shitty little airsoft gun whirring about spitting out bbs

Jesus fuck how the mighty have fallen.

so long as you don't get uptiered, yes

Does anybody fly the P-47D-28 regularly in RB? I know it's undertiered, but is it fun

>ABLOOOOOOOOO

It fights IS-2s every game so no

))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I saw you in a match the other day. I thought to myself "who the fuck put a british army decal on his fucking tiger."

IDIOT.

I literally just got the tank

well then it was some other IDIOT that had done the same thing

important part:
>problem is known since the the beginning
>still didn't fixed it
no bias )))))))))))))))))))))

when?

>historical accuracy

Just got the game

Anything I should know?

run

Don't start it.

uninstall now and read books instead it will be much better for you honest to god friend

Kill yourself, nazi

>headtracking info removed
Fucking teamspeak aspies. If you're going to put your retarded shithole voip in the OP at least don't remove useful info.

is no problem, is feature ! ))))))

Run, there's still a chance for you.

Please, it seems good at first. By the time you realise... it's too late.

Please, leave this place and never look back. It's already too late for us.

It's because the smoke launcher is in the way of the barrel.

seriously

Why the fuck is this thing even allowed?

>airspawn
>bullshit death star turbolaser cannons
>outruns everything

Its overpowered as shit, simple as that. If that isn't enough:

>never even existed
>its cannons never even existed either
>looks fucking stupid
>meme plane
>weeaboos actually want the jet version that also never existed added

It should either be 9.0 or be removed.

>look ma I posted it again

spading the Tempest V is suffering

>posted from my jap meme-plane with quad death star turbolaser

never go over babbi tiers
world beyond them is pure shit

>being bad
>not being good

Are you serious? That thing is a dream to fly. Strong as a tank, wonderful armament, fast as fuck.

Only slight issue is getting it to altitude.

not really

>he maneuvered himself into a position where he was shot down by a J7W1

> A jet engine–powered version was considered, but never even reached the drawing board.

Confirmed for next patch)))

Sure it's fast, but if you try to do anything other than going fast it's a brick

if someone gets behind me there's nothng I can do other than hope they get bored of chasing me on the deck and disengageand yes I know the solution to that is "don't let people get behind you"

btw Premium American T-34 when?

>Strong as a tank
>one hit anywhere on the plane and your cooling system is fried
>engine meltdown in 3, 2, 1

Literally outrun them.

Get fucking good.

Holy shit the Tempest is such a wonderful plane, Mk II can be a bit suffering because of it's tier but plz dude don't try telling me it's anything but a wonderful plane.

>Mk II can be a bit suffering
whew
literally my favorite plane, climbs like a fucking rocketship, and is so fast it can reach escape velocity in a gentle dive
