I've never seen proof of this.

What am I meant to be looking at here?

you're looking at a cheater

you're seeing downgrade from kanonejpz

Downgrade from the kanonenjpz vs the rakatenjpz?

Assuming so, yes, your individual shots do less damage, but you have a much higher rate of fire and your "missiles" have a mush faster travel time.

Guess which nation had optics made out of beer bottles bottoms and you will get the answer.

slavs

you mean vodka bottles

>literally worse than 90mm HEAT-FS

lolwhat?

SS.11 is only traveling at 150 m/s

sustained rate of fire is much lower than Kanonejpz

>US had worse optics on the sherman than slavs had on T-34

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

Nevermind, I got what you were saying backwards.

I've heard this said many times here but I don't think I've ever seen evidence. I'd be very interested to see it if you have any.

Vodka bottles would imply that optics had a clear glass.

>nose gunner and dorsal turret of the B-25 still don't fire with the fire button even though they very obviously would have historically
but why

AI gunners are trash to incentivize manual control of gunners so being a bomber isn't entirely passive play. It's a dumb idea and I hate it.

shitters cried about being "sniped by AI" until Gaijin nerfed AI gunnes into nothingness. Even with their skills maxed out, they only open fire at less than 210 m

i'm talking about firing forwards when pressing the machine gun button

can pilot sleve machineguns in turrets in reality?

The P-61's turret was pilot controlled IRL.

POST BOIPUCCI

i got the marcolins and a ffriend got the american Ki something (the earlier )

...

>FAB-500 dropped behind the maus barely damages it
>RS-132 disintegrates it on contact

How long would it take to grind from t1 ameritard tank to the m60 if I'm sorta okay at the game

5-6 weeks if you play casually 2-3 hours a day
with prem and prem tanks ofc

Don't think I'll be getting no m60 then, guess I'll settle into my life of shermans

yeah the tank grind is horrible especially since RB doesnt get extra rewards

T-72 when

read:
>more handholding when?

>marcolin CR-42 is reward for first won battle if you play Germans

didn't mean to grentext

so what? my first win was with jap planes so no marcolins for me you tard

>blueprints from battle chest
HELL YEAH
>it's 250 GE biplane with half of normal premium bonus

the marcolins is fun af

how does it differ from the normal CR.42? I thought Thach's F2A was the only unique starter plane, but looking at the stat cards I can see Marcolin's CR.42 isn't the same as its regular counterpart either.

you sure its not the statcard messing up? i thought its the exact same desu when i got it i was happy i got the prem version of my fav plane

Yeah, my distrust of stat cards is why I'm asking.
It's also called CR.42CN rather than just CR.42, like the one in the regular tree.

i googled a bit and the Cn is the "Night fighter version with spotlights in gondolas under the wings and prolonged engine exhausts.

no idea why the statcards differ

So you'd say they perform identically in-game? It wouldn't be the first time gaijin manufacture differences that shouldn't exist.

yes i have ~200 matches in RB with both and cant really tell a difference honestly there miiiiight be a really small one like 5-8 kph top speed or some shit like that but thats def not noticable in a fight imo

Then I don't have to buy it, thanks m8.

modeled in when ?

i bet its a thing of a few minutes to actually put that ingame but gaijin rather fixes launcher stability

>not playing for almost year
>back to game
>first match
>3 kills in first 2 minutes

I got the t-44-122 out of the little wheely box thing

Enjoy getting clubbed by Chaikas.

this actually happens close to never

most of the time im clubbing hurricanes and lags that turn with me
i see chaikas extremely rarely

So I hear boats are coming soon, and tanks can now reinforce crew.

Jap tonks when? Pasta anything when?

>Jap tonks when?
Pointless.
Pasta anything when?
After submarines are released. For now look forward to more cold war tanks like the Chieftain Mk.V and T-55.

This is in the next patch

why are custom games dead

as a premium i guess?

Couple of questions here:
Are they adding any more tanks anytime soon?
I'm relatively a new player and you guys seem to know way more of the goings on with this shit than I seem to be able to fund.

Second question:
What is the best premium tier 4 tank for Germany?

Are any of the other tier 4 tanks worth getting?
Ive been told to avoid the US AND Britbong line because they get fucked up in almost every tier and it's not worth the grind.

almost every patch adds new tanks

the Tger II Sla

the T-34-100 and T-44-122 are both great slav prems

best tier IV german prem is the Tiger II Sla 16. Its a normal Tiger II but with a better engine and a shitload of tracks on the turret.
Bongs have a decent tank tree, but they have no explosive filler in their shells, so its all solid shot or APDS. It forces you to aim for ammoracks to get kills. The best (and only) tier IV for them is the Strv 81. Gets 3 ATGMs guided with WASD, APDS, and super zoom meme optics so you can make 2km shots reliably. Both are about the same price, so choose whatever you want f.am.
Bongs are the underdog tank nation desu.

is right the bongs are actually pretty good if you know how to aim and the Strv 81 is alot fun
+ every bong fighter can carry bombs and/or rockets so even when you spawn a Spit you can later decide to get ground pounding armament

US and GB tanks are kind of fucked over with the meta, but them being completely fucked is mostly a meme. Part of it is probably due to the planes I can bring, but I find them to be the two most enjoyable trees.

Sherman grind gets real fuckin' tiring towards the end, though.

this desu

the brits and americans get pretty much the best planes for Rb

>Next patch its coming out late September and it's going to have a Sinai, Korea and Vietnam map

Starship when?

>Hard fought wins

That Valentine is pretty fun despite being so slow. Got four out of the seven total shared with the prem Achilles

...

no RP

I'm on mobile so quoting all of you is a bitch, but thanks a bunch for the help and explanations. Much appreciated.

How often do they do the major patches that add vehicles?
Are there going to be any new maps?

proofs?

every 2-3 months i think and atm we are very close to getting one because they are already dropping devblogs and that usually means the patch will come soon (tm)
and yeah sometimes we get new maps but most of the time the battlefield gets put somewhere else on already implemented maps because they are fuckhuge and you sually fight on maybe 30% of it at best

please elaborate

Has this game died already?

no

and it's not dying any time soon

Air RB gets more RP reward than air AB ( 1 kill in air RB with a prem plane + prem acc gets you 10k RP while in AB you get maybe 1k) thats because noone can respawn in air RB while in Tank AB and RB rewards are the same because you can respawn in both modes several times which leads to Tank AB being more time effecient than RB (but imo 10 times more frustrating and overall kinda boring )

no, despite Gaijin's continuous efforts

>tfw I prefer MG/FF over MG151/20

MG/FF (M) is imo fun because it has this "burst" style RoF

in tank AB everyone have 3 respawns (plus killstreak planes, that also count as kills), so each player can provide you with more than 5 frags.
In RB most players are usually out after 2 deaths.

I've somehow managed to kill medium tanks with the MG FF on Sicily while flying the 190s.

im not talking about what you can realistically have at the end im talking about RP multiplicators in the modes

>get myself to start warthunder

Try to turn tank, it engages emergency brake like in parade)))
