First for slav(e)s

Xth for nukes should have been dropped on moscow

Do you think slav players shitpost about Americans

Pretty sure gaijin uses penal battalions to shill and shitpost

:(

Ébressz fel.
Nem tudok felébredni.

>It's OP when they play it but shit when I do

I thought this was just a meme.

I get fucked hull down in a T32, get my KT turret deleted by IS2s or T-44s 2km away, or get my entire crew killed by a shot from anywhere while I'm driving an IS2 or T-44.

Play low Tier/BR German AA for a fun time getting back into the positives without worrying about losing thousands of lions for repairs if you lose.

and what is the constant in all of these situations user?

How does this actually happen

/simg/ > /wtg/

Literally 99% of the generals on Veeky Forums are better than /wtg/ on any given day

its a dumb bait meme u dip, stop giving me (You)s

How is saying something even most of wtg would agree on bait....?

Am I just ignorant or are G-force effects exaggerated in this game

As for FM, not sure, I should do proper testing one day.

Pilot physiology wise, it's seriously isn't strong enough.

>it's seriously isn't strong enough.
How the fuck did anyone pull out of a dive then
How the fuck did energy fighting happen

It didn't happen with G force that would knock the average pilot out I'll tell you what.

Tanks that people consider good or I have trouble dealing with turn to shit whenever I drive them.

Guess that's just me fishing for advice.

>How the fuck did anyone pull out of a dive then

many didn't

>How the fuck did energy fighting happen

Energy fighting should be quite low G. That said my definition is the same as the one in Fighter Tactics and Maneuvering.

gun collision when?

>tfw J'ing out just before the diving enemy's rounds reach your plane

gun barrels not passing magically through the stone when

also, what's your opinion about sheridan?

>gun barrels not passing magically through the stone when
never, it was tried and gaijin couldn't make it work properly. They probably don't want to, either.
>also, what's your opinion about sheridan?
kind of fun, but maps like karelia, frozen pass, and ash river are still in the game, so not that fun

Kys naziboo

do you have any vids where you actually kill anything with that thing? Because I seriously doubt it considering your aiming skills are shit

>vermin calling people naziboo when he's the biggest one in this thread
oh I'm laughing

Muh stats

Was that suppose to be impressive?

100 rnds per enemy aircraft, that's almost pathetic

Why do the Pz4 J and Bfw have a higher BR than the G when they are inferior?

I can't aim for shit with the Yak 9T.

So difficult to get visual feedback with the tracer, since they seem like they just go through the plane.

Are you the same guy that was asking in the previous thread why M26 is higher BR than T25 when the M26 is obviously inferior?

No, but that's also a really good point

New update hit: warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/597/

SS11 missile (RJpz-2 and Strv 81) performance has been fixed - previously a missile reached its maximum speed at the maximum shot range. Engine thrust has been increased, thus a missile reaches a speed of 150 m/s within the first 1000 metres.
The efficiency of the 30mm HE shells (aircraft cannons) has been increased, especially when hitting smaller aircraft (single engine).
BR changes for aircraft and ground vehicles have been implemented.

>tfw idiots forgot to give access to the google docs
Is it now, you going by stats too like that guy?

>missiles are buffed

ok

at least Tu-4 has 8.0 now.

...

>we listen to your feedback, we swear!

>play this game for the first time in weeks to try out EC
>all the damage models have been buffed to hell and back so it now takes literally several dozen ShVAK hits to down a bomber
wew. At least at one point they were usable in close range. Now there's basically no point in trying to kill bombers as Russians. I hope at least that the MG 151 and Hispanos are good?

>XP-38G is still a thing
gaijin don't give a fuck

well done

proper usage of double edged sword, shame they can erase it anyway

But that's Vegeta

I think it's time to say goodbye to this game, not because of the state it's in, but because I'm just not improving.

In Ground Forces, I die due to near-invisible tanks one-shotting me from across the map.

In Air Battles, I die because I can't defensive maneuver for shit.

Years ago, I was good at both, but seems the average player has outskilled me.

What?

The M26 is great, I do much better in it than the T25 which was suffering for me.

You stand a reasonable chance of bouncing shots now with the same mobility and gun.

How the literal fuck do British planes pull off the maneuvers they do.

also HEAT

That's M46 which is on completely different level than either those two. M26 and T25 get same ammo, which doesn't include HEAT

They were designed that way.

oh yeah, mixed them up

Why are German teams so useless against the Russians?

Planes:
>because Russian planes have fantasy UFO dark matter energy generators and some can outmeme even the best of the German energy fighters

Tanks:
>because Russians have slopes and Germans do not

>P-51D at 4.3

I am offended that Gaijin think this plane is shit.

Should be back at 5 with the D30 at 5.3 to fill that slot out.

Because the meta favors the strengths of Russian vehicles

German tankers and pilots are legitimately retarded

They don't understand the concept of situational awareness let alone flanking

So do the Russians

It mostly depends on the time one plays. In the morning German teams rek but at night they get destroyed.

(european time)

Play stock early t5 american tanks with no premium and you'll be there in no time.

>you'll never get dominated by hakurei

Have the BR changes been applied yet?

yes

>sneaking up on a Yak from above
>he doesn't seem to see me, closing in to .4km, about to open up on him
>suddenly a teammate appears behind me and starts shooting at him
>misses every shot, gives him warning to turn hard away from me
>teammate crashes into the ground from pulling up too late
>Yak's teammate (who my teammate either didn't notice or chose to ignore) swoops in behind me and kills me before I can pull away
Sometimes I wish I could just play this game single-player

lol

Awesome

Time to have fun in the Meteor F3 again

What are you talking about?

Every plane can pull retarded maneuvers in arcade.

What makes you think anyone here is asking about arcade you dumb fuck

>arcade

You should really work out these temper tantrums user

You should really fuck off

>this is the average ts member

lmao, what will be next, a random namedrop or just spamming "ok naziboo" again

Where is she?

>pockrt being a dumb slav(e)aboo again
typical

>ywn make [SG508] Junko_Enoshima into your own personal cumslut

The flight model is a joke. Ask ethnic pilto. He tested it.

>there is literally nothing wrong with ground forces

>M15
why

Because I was given a talisman for it and I find it easier to shoot down planes with the 37mm than with the M16

>pockrt still comes around here even though everyone hates him
sad desu

who

Just ignore vegeta.

>tfw I can put my Meteor F3 in service again
I'm so happy bros

field repairs when

OKAY POCKRT

I don't hate pocket.

>pockrt falseflagging and namedropping Vegeta
>pockrt pretending anyone likes him
pottery

fuck off back to >>>/reddit/ pockrt

I have a good guess, but I don't think he wants you to know
he hasn't stopped playing

go Air Arcade
grind a bit to unlock planes
make good low-tier lineup
make 15k+ easily in 5-10 minutes long battle
come back every time your SL reach critical level
suggested lineups for best gains / skill ratio
Germany 2.3 Bf 109 B-1, Bf 109 E-1, Bf 110 C-4, He 112 A-0, He 111 H-6
Germany 3.3 Bf 109 F-4, Bf 109 F-2, Bf 109 F-1, Bf 109 E-4, He 111 H-16
UK 2.3: Spitfire Mk.I, Hurricane Mk.II, Sea Hurricane Mk.I, Hurricane Mk.IV, Wellington Mk.I
US 2.3: P-36C, F4F-3, P-40, A-36, TBF-1c
US 3.3: P-38E, F4F-4, P-40, A-36, B-25

>Play low Tier/BR German AA for a fun time getting back into the positives without worrying about losing thousands of lions for repairs if you lose.

I just did, got second place on a winning match with auto repair off, 3 caps, like 4 assists and 9 kills and got 9000 sl
Does the RP gains cap on earlier tiers also affect SL?

On the other hand I got 6000rp

>first game with mig9
>3 kills
damn this plane is fun

RB EC with historical lineups should become standard, then BR bullshit would become irrelevant.

Though BoB event suprised me by lack of German players. You would think they would wait in line to uleash 5.0 - 6.0 Bf 109s and Fw 190s, on 3.7 - 4.7 Thunderbolts and Mustangs.

I'd love to play tanks more but I get about 5fps on more than half the maps. And whenever I've flying I can't aim worth a damn because the enemy plane is jumping around with my shitty frames.

Why even live senpai?

>3.7 - 4.7 Thunderbolts and Mustangs.
Those were rare. In my experience I was mostly up against spits and typhoons.

there's no cap I'm aware of, but with gains multiplier like 10-20% for most of Tier I vehicles, don't expect to make much lions.

>3 Me-262s wrecked in my first game in it since forever
inbr back at 8.0 due to sekrit statistics

dunno. In matches I played it was usually 50/50 between burger and bong planes. Might be intentional even.
Though admittedly, players with Spits Mk.XVI were usually ones with most kills.

>Gaijin finally realizing their aircraft models are shit

nice fucking forum lmao

How do you even fuck that up? Are they even comparing measurements when they model or do they just look at some pictures and sculpt from memory?
