bote cbt fucking when

SOON TRADEMARK

Japan tanks when

I want SPAAGs in plane matches
just like we have planes in tank matches

when

what is this

>Me 262 A-1a/U1
>Single prototype with a total of six nose mounted guns, two 20 mm (0.787 in) MG 151/20 cannon, two 30 mm (1.181 in) MK 103 cannon, and two 30 mm (1.181 in) MK 108 cannon.

when

fucking when

Are there still any ww2 brit tanks left to fill the tree?

>SPAAG have am effective range of non-attacker planes aren't super close to on the ground because they don't have gimped render distances
>even the ones that are close to the ground won't be near you because plane maps are much, much bigger than tank maps
What do you expect to accomplish?

the Churchill AVRE

yes, there are quite lot of early tanks that still need to be added (mostly crusader and covenanter variants)

Can someone tell me why, or am I really going to have to reinstall and hate myself for spending the time downloading it?

reinstall and see for yourself friend

Don't do it. Tanks is a broken game mode and everyone knows it.

It sure was fun when it came out though

...

Those were the fun days what happened

jesus how fucking old is that?

I thought this was a WW2 game?

...

It's always been interwar to early cold war. With this next patch we're hitting 1977, though, so everything's going to shit.

churchill crocodile and churchill flail.

>no lead markers
how

How do I use KT H in RB?

If I sit back and snipe(peak out of cover and hide) then other heavies easily snipe me or get flanked since my team is shit.

If I attack then I die easily since some niggers hide so well I can't even see them.

That fucking turret is shells magnet, so how do I use it to get more then two kills?

>WW2

l o l

It still is fun.

was this made by slavs

...

You teleport to 2013

Of course.

this what?

Yea. They're the only ones who care about historical period games like this.

Look what Sweden did to ww1

I would if that was possible.

Meh, tonks is what I mostly play m8, and I have fun doing so.
Then again, I jump from one abusive relationship to another, so there's that.

you fool

?

>T54
>WW2

I kinda wish War Thunder would "split" into two games. One would end at the end of world war 2 with nothing that wasn't at least developed during the war, and the other would start where the world war 2 one ended. So it would have like Centurions and T-54s fighting, and work its way up. I guess there wouldn't really be enough for more than 3 tiers of that though.

It's for historically accurate balance tovarisch

>Raise BR of every post war tank
And it's fixed.

finally researched the f-2 sabre
>1.3 mil from being able to buy it )))

just convert gl )))

i wish war thunder would go full bullshit and have every single wunderwaffe and stalin drunk napkin drawing

>Dude, if you raise the bar of the ASU-57 you fix the game!

No. The game isn't your naziboo fantasy playground. Vehicle BRs should be based purely on penetration, armor, and mobility, in that order, without regard for player performance or the introduction date of the vehicle.

Should I play tank simulator battles or stick to RB if I am grinding something? Sim seems to net more RP (does anyone know by how much), but is practically dead. Also, on the Centurions in SB, what the hell is up with these sights? Were the optics really that offset?

Sim is shit for grinding because the queues are too long.

Well
That was nauseating

>it's a MiG-3 has no problem turning with my E-3 because crew skils )))))))) episode

Shekel up, goy.

i'd say RB as you'll be able to get more rounds done then on SB due to queues

I mostly just want the post war shit to not take a year to grind.

why didnt the germans make a version of the stuka with retractable landing gear? whats the closest thing to a retractable stuka in the german tree?
¿ is breaking the landing gear worth it in RB and SB ?

>whats the closest thing to a retractable stuka in the german tree?
190 F-8

>why didnt the germans make a version of the stuka with retractable landing gear?

Probably because that would lengthen the build time and cost of the aircraft for an almost completely unnecessary benefit.

>why didnt the germans make a version of the stuka with retractable landing gear?
Ground attackers don't need to go fast, so the drag wasn't a huge issue, and more moving parts means more expensive, more maintenance, and more things that can break.

>whats the closest thing to a retractable stuka in the german tree?
Probably the duck.

>is breaking the landing gear worth it in RB and SB ?
No, because then you can't land when you're out of ammo.

>Japanese tanks

>Gepard
>Leo 1A1A1
>RaJaPa HOT
>Flak truck

Holy shit this patch is going to be undiluted German bias

Every patch is German bias.

Go be a slavshit somewhere else

i can crash land without landing gear
and i dont know now but it used to reduce drag and improve the agility of the stuka quite a lot !
also i disagree with the statement that ground attackers dont need to go fast
they need to go fast if theres no air superiority
just look at the british "wooden bomber". it was a gorund attacker and it was formidably fast bombing deep within germany

>¿
build the wall

>why didnt the germans make a version of the stuka with retractable landing gear?

Simpler to build and more sturdy

The Ju 87 could take off from mud-ridden forward airfields where other aircraft failed

Commie genocide when

>when
>implying you need a specific time to gas commies

>Slavshit

You are beyond hope if you think I'm a slav shitter with that sarcastic post.

TOP KEK SUBHUMAN NAZIBOO!!!
Oh believe you me, us Slavs are ITCHING for a war with you. We will fucking ANNIHILATE your dirty country. There wouldn't be a square meter of soil that has running water, electricity, or petrol that isn't on fire, once our airforce and navy is done bombarding your defenseless country. Then, our army boys (we'd send the boatniggers and other mongrel races first) would swoop in, raping your women, and killing EVERY nasziboo shit they see. When we're done with you, we will have committed acts of genocide. Of course no one is gonna do shit about it

And somehow German teams still manage to lose all the time

except slavs were itching for a war with my country
and they lost

it's a pasta, you shart
nice work on getting the second place at the vietnam war btw

i know it's a pasta you retard it's about australia going to war with america

The only reason to not have air superiority is because you're losing, desu.

>Turnfighting in a Bf109

wew

how do i use this crew replacement shit

push =

when?

its not bound and i cant find the option for it

Reminder that after years of saying they'd never add the B-36 because six engine bombers are never happening the most handheld nation in the game got a six engine bomber.

how long will it take me to grind from tier 1 to jets?

Do you have premium

Do you have premium?
Do you have a premium vehicle?
Do you plan on playing more than one nation?

It can be done in a few weeks if you're not shit and goy up.

left alt enables mouse cursor

or just rebind the button

no premium.
no premium vehicle (except Thatch's Buffalo.)
in practice yes, but for the purposes of answering the question no. (just curious as to what the min. time you could reasonably do it in would be.)

2 months if no premium.
Goy up )))

>start match
>t54/47 doesnt cost 310SP
>leave

who else /killing the game/ here?

>implying the E-4 can't outmaneuver almost anything even Spitfires if used right

>E4 can outmaneuver Spitifire with landing flaps

how much does it cost?

if a medium tank is cheaper than 310SP you are not toptier

320

>tfw soon

jokes on you, after you finish grinding there's more grinding

>frontal aspect attack in an SBD-3
>killed enemy in seconds
>any aspect attack in a P-400, hurricane, etc.
>enemy flies away fine
HOW

>finish grinding f-2 sabre
>not enough lions to purchase and then you have to crew train too )))))))))))

>stock M3 sabre
>literally the worst top tier
