ship cbt fucking when oh my god

It has objectively better turret armor, and I was commenting on how the fucking T-34 was broken and the 57mm is garbage, not on how the val was garbage ofc I know the val is garbage you dingo

Only three of those are in the /wtg/ Facebook group
And the other is a pedo

tl;dr we got tricked by Gaijin again and apparently the next patch is going to be another small update, we won't get the ship cbt until December (just like the tank cbt)

>There is a Facebook group dedicated to staging shitposting attacks on a videogame thread about a slav game on a Chinese drawings website.

tank cbt was the middle of summer

tank cbt kept getting pushed off till the next patch, which is the reference he's trying to make

to everyone making serious threads; please don't use the phrase "new bread" to announce it

irc there was a secret club cbt in December for the people that did the tasks, the "general" cbt started in march.

should all posts include trigger warnings for fragile snowflakes like yourself?

haha yeah

t. Facebook faggot

This is srs bizness

haha nice toast

...

...

There were no tasks for the original cbt, are you thinking of the British CBT? Because then yes you'd be correct.
The only way to get into the first cbt tank was to buy the T-34 or Herman the German Sherman packs.

>There were no tasks for the original cbt

Those were for british cbt

Wasn't that after it had been running for a while? Like the buy-in started in early summer and that tasks were a few months later?

QUIT POSTING GARBAGE WEBMS

no

buying access got you in earlier, yes

That's what I was saying tho, you bought in first

custom game when?

no, those tasks were for the very first tank cbt test (January 2014)

I never argued that, I'm another guy

>Sky Duels. I-15 versus Ki-10

back when tank tracks were made of hand soap

>In Enduring Confrontation mode the mechanics of the reward that a player receives have been changed. A player receives the first half of the reward normally (right after destroying an enemy unit, base or by performing any action that gives a reward to the player) and the second part after safe landing on the friendly airfield. This change should limit unfair bailing by pilots from their aircraft instead of returning to a friendly airstrip to rearm and repair their machines.

Hey lads anyone got that link to Graviteam tactics?

Thanks!

Thank you!

thanks a lot senpai

>being this fucking obvious

i have this only

custom game?

...

>actually kinda hyped for Ki-87
If it follows the jap trend of being a fucking sealclubber then it's a day 1. Not like they can uptier it any further as its a prop.

when

>Got an actual tank kill with the 40mm cannon on the Hurricane mk IV
Holy shit that was cool
Got a Hurricane IIB talisman too

>composite armor

never

what about the T-72?

the first versions aren't that well armored

why no git gud with current hand held nation ?

Holy shit the RP-6 rockets are fucking good at ground attack, I've only used RS-182/82 Bazooka and HVARs and they're all very mediocre. But the RP-6 is gooooooooood

jap tanks when
italian tanks when

when Gaijin removes RNG from penetration model, so about never ever

>nations with nothing but Tier 1s
what for?

does not having a leveled up crew affect gameplay significantly ?

I'd like pasta tenks as a sub-tree in the German one like the pasta planes.

the problem with WT is that tier 1 use is discouraged since you barely win any money with it
if that wasnt the case i would play tier 1 and 2 so much, tier 2 is the most fun for most nations

also this

Jesus Christ all those design flaws.

The IS-3 is worthless

why would you ever use this hunk of shit over the T-54 1947?

>wahhh wahhh please hold my hand more

>why would you ever use this hunk of shit over the T-54 1947?
Long 88s struggle to pen it from the side. Think about that when I pen your diamond positioned T-54.

>Ki-84 Ko at 4.7 is just as fast as the Ki-83 heavy fighter with two engines and a 6.0 BR
>the Ki-84 can turn and roll with anything while being able to dive almost just aswell

Ki-83 has overwhelming armament

They did with the Tu-4.
They won't do it with a fighter though.

money are never issue, since low tier tanks are also cheap to repair.
RP gains on the other hand, are outright penalised, as if radical increase of RP requirments as yougo through tech tree wasn't enough.

>They did with the Tu-4
>it didn't do jackshit and now it just snipes hunters at 8.0-9.0 matches

these days the IS-3 and IS-4 are just a roadblock for the T-10M

why is it tiered so high anyways?

I thought it was just a slav copy of the B-29

why does the Drakon perform so much better post pen than the SS-11?

SS-11 has higher pen and explosive filler, all off which should increase the damage done buy the Munroe effect.

>implying any hunter pilot with half a brain cell won't just dunk tu-4s left and right

>british players
>ever learning to play
I lauf.

they replaced the 50 cals in the turrets with fucking cannons and made the engines more powerful too giving it a higher payload

3 words
twenty three millimeter

no bias ))))))

>explosive filler having anything to do with HEAT

>10 NR-23

oh god

Thanks!

no fags allowed

>no fags allowed
okay....

reminds me of this

it's about 4 times as durable as B-29, has higher payload and has .50s replaced with IL-28 turrets.
So rather than fixing it, Gaijin dropped them into jet battles, because no one cares about jets

>4 times as durable as B-29
the tu-4 is far squishier than the b-29 and literally capsizes upon damage to its engines, which doesn't even happen to the latter

it's not explosive filler, but warhead.
And yes, Dragon should be less damaging as all Soviet ATGMs use deep penetration cone, which increases penetration, but at price of less destructive post-pen effect.

out fucking skilled

Thanks!

>order new computer parts from newegg
>they ship through fedex
>supposed to arrive today
>excited to finally upgrade from toaster so i'm not an ultraslav in warthunder anymore
>fedex, after sitting on my package only 30 minutes from my house since 7AM, finally update the tracking and claim the barcode was unreadable NINE HOURS LATER and delay my shipment

THESE FUCKING PEOPLE ARE MORE INCOMPETENT THAN TFUCKING GAIJIN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST NEVER AGAIN. I PAID EXTRA FOR THIS SHIT AND THEY MANAGED TO FUCK IT UP.

>playing AB tanks with a friend
>ask me if i want to play air battles

How to play with you guys?

I don't play much anymore, sorry

>Weakest point on turret is angled so it's even weaker because you're a fucking retard and went down hill
>Crying about being penned by a 1 oh fucking five
Kys my man

Where's the Graviteam tactics download?

Here mega.nz/#!6YJylIpa!dlXf1LY9lDeJyI5hPw3jNlks97NpnbiTfLiRJnyiE3o

thanks a lot senpai

how is the Battle Rating calculated/decided ??

fuck off back to your own general faggot.

ok not many people are in here so fags are now allowed

>playing WT for months
>not buying a joystick for it
whats your excuse

You add me on steam and become my personal fuccboi

I mostly play GF.

A joystick is literally a handicap in AB & RB. It's only required to play EC.

true
its a shame but it will always be that way

wew, I just saw the ones about the T-34-85
it's even worse

Maybe if I had a Joystick myself I'd play Air forces more, but Tonks are just too much fun. Even with the occasional bs that happens.

Looking forward to projectiles having actual dimensions and not just being a single ray cast point.

i used to use the throttle adjustment in my joystick while playing Tanks CBT. its kinda cool adjusting the acceleration of a tank for more stable shots while in movement.
