>Free premium aircraft for first victory
lies. I got a Panzer II DAK

depends on whether you play tanks or planes friend

I started off with based germany's panzers, like, two years ago or something.

You get what you played first after that update came out. So if it was a tank, free tank, if it was a plane, free plane

Im enjoying the decorations!

+1 GE

is this from graviteam

if yes then I'm gonna buy it right now but honestly I can't decide between operation star, mius front, and mow:as2

fucking christ why is graviteam so good

my killcam just showed a shell going through a rock infront of me to kill me

what?

>it's another "bombers end the battle in the first 5 minutes" episode

>fly for 10 minutes
>bombers in the stratosphere end the battle


HAHAHAHAHA DUDE GG XD

s-sorry...

Whatever, I'll just buy myself the premium tiger 2.

Enjoy your fun

you will mostly get german + soviets vs paper tanks and club them

>4.7 tonks
>think 3.7 is a fun tier i might actually be able to club
>5.7 battles going on 20 matches now

Do you guys fly arcade, or is it all l33t nonsense?

I play Arcade. I think it's more fun personally.
But that's just me.

what's this, a game with tanks that doesn't look like it was made in 2003?

>get golden wager
>take out Tu-4
>queues go past 10mins
>every match is a mixed battles because everyone and their uncle decided to take out the Tu-4
>loose because the Tu-4s I get paired with are retards and the enemies are coordinated and destroy our airbase before I can get the three bases done by myself because nobody else will do it
>fighters also avoid me like the plague

Are american tanks even worth it? I almost have Teeb done and it seems like clappers are worst than Teeb and that says alot since the only redeeming thing about Teeb is the APDS.

welp just lost my GE wager in my Tu-4 because
>2 mixed battles where Tu-4s stomped our team
and
>berlin, where I was instantly TKed by another Tu-4
I wanna go fucking strangle someone
preferably that faggot who sealed my fate

>Helmet too scared to 1v1 Vegeta's P-80 in his MiG-15 so he resorts to shitposting in the thread

This is the exact reason I quit. There is no fucking chance in hell I'm coming back until they do something about the BR.

>play any BR that isn't 8.0
>get uptiered every time
why?

Then who gets downtiered?

good goys

>got an account to level 36 only playing one nation and have yet to unlock a tier 5 vehicle

Because not everyone is a good goy that spends money on this game. The matches I played on alt accounts at 8.0br is a joke anyway. There is literally no reason to put that amount of effort into grinding for a vehicle in a BR that is just shit.

Besides we all know that whenever someone says "just get to tier 5 and it's fun ))))" is just a marketer.

the game totally isn't rigged

how did pockrt become so qt?

what is this spicy new autism

Estrogen at a young age. Simple as that.

You didn't hear? The reason pockrt gets so upset so quickly is because she's actually a trans girl. The estrogen does that.

source?

Why is the A36 Challenger higher BR than the Comet I?

By the looks of it, it's worst than the Comet in every way.

Both are based off the cromwell chassis, yet the Comet I has superior armor and turret armor for that matter.

Both roughly weigh the same, go same max speed.

Comet has better gun depression

Challenger has a slight better reload speed, but worse turret rotation

Then getting back to the turret in general, the challenge has a tall ass giant turret. The sides and back are flat, coupled with the shit armor making it an instant pen for even T1 flak.

>but that curved front on the turret will save it!
Nope, it barely helps. Gives it up to like 80mm of armor when at 5.7 the lowest pen is probably like 120mm on some shit ass tank.

>but wait the gun!
I will give it this, the challenger does have a higher pen APDS than the Comet I by 20mm. But does it matter? The Comet I can pen anything at BR 5.7-6.7 already with 208mm. The extra 20mm is practically meaningless.

I find it incredibly hard to believe the Challenger should be a 5.7 tank. I can't find a single redeeming feature of this tank over the Comet I which is 5.3. It actually is worse in most cases.

She was talking about it to me in teamspeak. sometimes she sends me lewds :3

children, this is what we call autism
if you ever encounter someone like this in public, avoid them at all costs

OK Pocket, kill yourself nigger

pockrt hasn't been on the TS in multiple days

How have they somehow failed to improve the game in any way in an entire year?

He's sitting down here right now with me

Who said I was talking about something that happened today?

he hasn't been on today either

>pockrt is so bad he dies in a Tu-4

>TS channel is password protected

okay

>dying in a Tu-4 is the same as dying and not taking the attacker down with you
Tu-4 keels over if you get any asymmetrical lift, and only people who fly it actually know that

Password is a single character, fuckstick

Kill yourself nigger faggot LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I wish someone would say why, I'm on the edge of buying it but I need that extra shove

As far as I can tell, if you like strategy games, it's as accurate as they get.

If you like playing with friends, I recommend Arma. It's not as realistic sure, but it sure is fun driving around in a tank with friends.

>People bitch and moan about Ostwinds and Kugelblitz being too overpowered
>Say that they eat shells and have insta gib lasers that kill anything
>Meanwhile I get one shot by anything that looks at me funny
>And every shot I connect with aircraft just results in Hit + 5 with the occasional kill

I don't get it. Am I playing a different game?

nah they're just shitters
kugels are annoying but they definitely don't eat shells

If you can't kill Teeb tanks in german SPAA then you are a shitter.

It's to keep literal autists such as yourself out

Yet you have chicken tendie boy in these with you

>Kill teeb tanks
>Meanwhile I'm talking about eating shells and killing aircraft

Is your reading comprehension off today?

What? No way!

who was the shithead who decided that all GE wagers require a kill
because I really wanna have him publicly lynched

I wish I had friends

T29 is some OP bullshit.

>enemy team has three of them
>our entire team racks up a whopping 1 kill

okay pockrt

>He can't point and click them with is long 88 or 122mm

>he assumes I have a long 88 in uptierthunder

The sturer has such a satisfying sound when the cannon goes off.

and the killcam following it 95% of the time

>tfw that 128 sound and those post-pen effects
I'd like the Emil more if it wasn't an ammo rack on tracks

isn't that entire line a ammo rack on tracks minus the ATGM that should be on the right line

After some testing I've found a possible culprit to my constant uptiers. Those around Tier 3 to 4 especially.

In the picture I posted, I have my two line ups. One has the highest tier of 3, and the other one has a single tier 4. When I had the He 229(Tier IV) in my line-up I would often wait more time for it to get me in to games and when I would get in, I would always be the lowest BR in the match. Games would be around 4.7 to 5.3 max BR. I would never be highest BR in about 15 I played(At the most I would get in to 4.7 games sometimes). I then took out the He 229 and replaced it with Bf 109 G2/trop(Tier III) I started ending up in games where I was highest BR. I would get games where it would be a max uptier but those didn't come around as much.

Maybe how GF RB handles the BRs is how its done in Air RB and AB. Where if you have lets say the He 229 at 4.3 BR Tier IV, it will never get in a game against the P-39Q-5 even though that plane is 3.3, because its Tier II. Now it could work like that also in GF RB. Where the planes you have in your line-up affect the games you can get in to. Say you have the Do 217 M-1. Its 5.3 Tier IV meaning you won't be able to get in to any games lower than 5.3 even if you have the Tiger at 5.7. So you won't get downtiered all the way to 4.7 ever and you'll end up in games from 5.3 to 6.7 BR. Add this to how the matchmaking works, and it just fucks with how the whole BR system is handled.

Anyways, I know this is a long read. But I need someone to answer seriously and tell me if I'm being paranoid or if any of these mechanics don't add up and that's not how it works. I wouldn't put it pass Gaijin to forget to remove those Tier restrictions when it comes to aircraft when they're in GF RB and then with everyone taking their aircrafts and collectively fucking the matchmaking up.

except I don't get ammo racked half as many times in my Dicker Max as my Sturer Emil

what about people who never use planes in lineup?

Are you trying to say I could possibly force downtiering if I put a plane in a lineup that higher tier people might have a restricted plane in their line up forcing the mm to not match with them?

You can destroy atgm in mid air ???

Yes, shooting a missle in flight will blow it up

Well, then.. i destroyed slavs rocket right in front of my tank then proceeded to kill the cunt. Too bad the replay doesnt show that huge explosion

>it's an IS-3 dies because le unhistorical exposed turret ring meme
why does gaijin nerf vehicles that are already shit and buff those who are OP

>IS-3
>shit

you are a shit player

>literally every round goes through the unhistorical turret ring
it's also shit due to it's unhistorical reload rate, b-but muh russian bias
kill yourself nazishitter, you're the reason this tank got nerfed

>unhistorical reload rate
Unless this thing was packing an autoloader wouldn't that boil down to the crew's skill?
