WoT > WT
even WoWP is better than WT at this point, a much more polished game.

A BIG POO

third for bored

>no patch

New fag here, is pic related worth getting?

Absolutely not.

are you a raging faggot?

No. It's a pure novelty tank whose novelty was taken away when they introduced tanks like the Calliope.

>their whole world comes crashing down

you're all shitters

I don't even play GF. I'm mad that I can't do the one thing that plane was designed for, because it can't even penetrate AI mediums.

So I decided to try this game out and all I'm facing is like level 100s that just shit wreck me the moment I try to dog fight them.

I'm flying around in the Tucks Gladiator and I'm facing planes and people that are just better than me. They are just giving me no chance to even have fun.

Is there even a point to continue?

The Gladiator is absolute dogshit. Don't use it.

its "fun" once then you star to realize what you bought and the craptard mechanics they implemented to make it "work"

>level 100s
Level =/= skill

>Tuck's gladiator
You're an idiot for not getting the buffalo or chaika, but it's not too late. You can free yourself from your filthy teeb ways any time you want.

>Is there even a point to continue?
Only if you're even remotely considering gitting fucking gud.

post yfw the enemy team has a 4-man Tu-4 squad flying in close formation

...

They'd probably nuke the entire map and win by tickets before you got within range to engage them

Been there, done that. But with B-29s

You're right, I forgot Junko is a qt trans guy :3
I'll be sure to use the right pronouns from now on user!

>Level =/= skill

Nope, but level = crew points and crew points = 1/2 this game.

user the Tu-4 has like a dozen turrets covering all directions. You're at risk no matter where you're coming from.

Of course you should still go head-on from above if only to make yourself a faster target relative to him

>implying I need burst mass when I can one-shot them from 2km+

user i can kill them before theeir mgs even get within operable range

>level = crew points
>t. bad goy

>Will the Tu-4 be 6.3?
Yes. Ironically the ones most complaining about that are the claps since "waaah, it shouldn't be at the same BR as B-29 or carrying more bombs than it".

Look at Helmet's vids, you'll fly into the hail fof 23mm bullets even at 2km. .50cal won't fuck you up at that distance, but 23mm canons will, so don't be too certain about that

But that's the thing. MGs have a far shorter effective range than the canons and not to mention .50cals will be nerfed in damage in the next patch.

>Look at Helmet's vids, you'll fly into the hail fof 23mm bullets even at 2km. .50cal won't fuck you up at that distance, but 23mm canons will, so don't be too certain about that

>le hard to shoot down fighters going 200km/h with my 23mm autocannons at 10km
>implying I'm going to bother with low-orbit bombers
I have a fucking 50mm cannon. I can wreck tanks and win the game in the meantime, all while racking in mad dosh.

ok helmet

>implying it's gonna be any better unless the enemy goes and flies at the deck like an idiot.
It's gonna be better than B-29 even if they fly at normal altitude. And .50cals may be firethrowers, but they are nowhere as effective as the 23mm canons if there's moe of them. And here, here, good luck sniping accurately in those conditions. youtu.be/EBbUsBn9Bjg

Have you even read what I just wrote?
I am not going to bother fighting bombers at 10km altitude.

The reason you can fight them low alt is because you are much faster than them, and it gives you a better shot(pun not intended) at avoiding incoming fire.

>[Operation] Mozdok
Alt+F4

Seriously Gaijin, remove this fucking map from RB rotation already.

It's the best map though.

I did, that's why I said they'll be able to fuck you up even at the lower alt, unlike .50cal armed B-29. It won't be an easy prey either way. And the video was there just to show the effective range of the 23mm canons.

>play tanks sim

What the fuck are those maps still in rotation there.

how do i hit shit in the air with rockets?

You and that nonhuman mutant both need to kys

Mostly luck. Some rockets you can set a timer on, though, and that can help a lot. Rockets are pretty prone to spark, though, just like low velocity cannons.

>bullying qts
baka lad. Now junko will never show us his boypussy.

>kys
kys

>he thinks crew points mean anything

I bet you actually think maxing out bomber gunner crew skills turn AI gunners into aimbots who can snipe fighters from 2km out

t.shitter

irl the b-29 outperformed and had a larger bombload than the tu-4 yet in game the tu-4 outperforms the b-29 by a huge margin in almost every way but turret traverse speed

the tu-4 is bias and cancer incarnate but I'm going to space with it at usual and you can't stop me

When will she post more qt lewds?

Could you ever see Gaijin making a video like this?

it fucking doesn't

I have a slot with all crew skills maxed and another with no points into any skill

Probably.

You first shitter

How do i get good at planes?
it seems enemies always end up behind me

Aww user just because you're jealous of how qt they are doesn't mean you have to get upset :3
Anyone can take estrogen~

How autistic do i have to be to play bombers

Stop turnfighting in your sabre.

What maneuver are you supposed to do if the enemy is behind you anyways

just make sure to fly a bomber with good armament

That depends 100% on what each of you are flying.

>What maneuver are you supposed to do if the enemy is behind you anyways

this is the average war thunder player

war thunder is inevitably doomed and it's not because of gaijin

????????

No, never. I don't know how Wargaming is, but Gaijin admitted perhaps twice to making a mistake since 2013 and they barely ever went back on the changes. They actually listened with the trauma packs and it seems to be getting better, but I doubt they'll ever admit fucking up the game with their version of "historical accuracy" when they nerf shit for the sake of balance. Perhaps they'll start listening when the game goes almost completely dead, but I legit can't see them making something like that vid and downright admitting they fucked up or saying they want to make a game the players want it.

Admittedly listening to this community would be kinda retarded since half of the people want hand holding and clubbing shit, but there's still shit they could listen to to make the game better.

WG hadn't really admitted mistakes before.

In the past, they'd switch between dismissing anything too strong or weak as historical, while also dismissing anything unhistorical as necessary for balance.

SerB, the lead developer had a Q&A where he'd mostly just insult players who called out any problem with the game.

>In the past, they'd switch between dismissing anything too strong or weak as historical, while also dismissing anything unhistorical as necessary for balance.
So, just like Gaijin then.

Why would you add ships in a game where 90% of the players hate even being near eachother and just run around like it's Call of Duty?

Matchmaking mixes players using planes with similar BR. IIRC Gladiator is 1.3, which means you can meet planes with BR up to 2.3 It will be like that whole game, you will meet players up to 1.0 BR higher and lower than you.
We're talking Rank 1 here, Awarness range and G resistance aren't very important when planes fight at 200-250 km/h, and firepower, and as following, chance of insta-gib are low.

w-what?

>In any plane
>Get hit once
>Everything goes to shit

>In any plane
>Hit enemy 30 times
>Everything is still fine

TL;DR planes is bullshit

I would take the bouncing in tanks over the bullshit that is sparkling any day.

>players hate even being near eachother
Right, players hate that. That's why we have such big maps, because players have being in knife fights.

>They are just giving me no chance to even have fun
you can always play Arcade I guess. It's fun in its own way, and even really bad players score kills there.

Probably worse.

Imagine Gaijin's FoTM trick but it lasts for years and only gets "nerfed" by the addition of yet more powerful vehicles.

Kek, I made that mistake when I first started playing the game and wasted golden shekels maxing out bomber gunners.

>sparking

Dude, its called lag, learn to compensate for it and stop spewing reddit memes.

I'm talking about teammates you dumb fucking nigger

+5GE

>want to play tank sim
>my tanks are never part of the allowed list
>tournament sim has markers on for casuals

upvoat XD

this is why I stopped playing tanks and fighters

your retarded teammates can't screw you over as much if you're in a bomber

nah desu, never youtu.be/gfAyBx-vXYw

Just found out why vegeta hasn't been here for days
Damn fool has been arrested for talking about CP on facebook.

(Triggered shill)
Proof now.

>being a mutant apologist
>samefagging this fucking hard
>their whole world comes crashing down
At least I'm human.

Jesus Christ I wanna puke every time I see a RAF camo on a plane.

Please tell me you have some concrete, corroborating evidence. Nothing would make me happier than to learn that vegeta got v& and will forever be branded the degenerate he is.

I want this to be true.
