Woman loader? Wouldn't she be better as a Cmder?

Is that a lifting up after a shot a defense mechanism to prevent damage to the barrel?

>ts tykes pitching another category 5 chimpout
>hotpocketers are shielding and enabling the cancer
>nobody will ever be banned for this

ok helmet

Probably to make it easier for the loader. Notice how it moves back down (breech goes up) when she presses a button after loading.

better to reload heavy shell if your gun is lower, ofc u can disable the system

I never thought of this because even though it's all computer programming, there's a chance the barrel wouldn't go down to the same position and could mess shots up.

After shooting barrel goes into "straight position" wich allows loader to load the shell more faster.

Notice how that qt is pressing switch after loading that makes barrel go into last position or the new target.

F-84E when?
F-84G when?
F-84F when?

>putting a woman in charge of lifting and loading 20kg shells in a cramped space
This definitely doesn't reduce combat effectiveness.

It doesn't take long to research the E-4 user.

please, get cancer and die

>japan tree lacking planes
>new fighter plane premium
why

>tfw no qt bf to fly bfs with
;__;

to qualify you need to be able to load 10 times in 1 minute
so I don't think she's actually a loader, unless German standards are different

they assume you're bullying

BR 7.0 with russian shitters is painful

Fuck off board sliding cancer

What's KOS?

>tfw

Some call it KOSM.

kill on sight

B-b-but WHY? I didn't do nuffin? :(

when is the patch

She's a Feldwebel (NCO lowest rank) and wears the beret of the tank troops.
My guess is that she is actually the commander of the tank and the video is from a training exercise where the crew learns to man all positions.

>tfw no tanker gf

Fucking wicked.

Shame I won't be able to fly it.

What's your guess for the price of the gift pack?
It's a Rank IV plane so it won't come cheap.

That prop looks tiny

Probably the same price as the Wyvern maybe

They not selling it for GE?

How much is the wyvern?

2 weeks atleast

Wyvern is 30€.

Gaijin only sells the unique and high rank stuff as gift packs as of late for maximum profit, I mean who the fuck would pay 30 bucks for a single virtual plane and spare change golden eagles that dropped in value?
I remember the Steam sale packs where you could get 3 planes, 1 month of premium and 2500 eagles for 10€. Now they raised the price and reduced the shit you get from it too.

>green light sale
never again this good

why do friendly tanks randomly fire their MG at me when we're advancing

are they being assholes or what.

i was tempted to turn around and blast a guy for doing it once, but he stopped.

They used to sell a 190 D-13 and P-51 D-10 pack on Steam too, I think those were like 7€ on a Christmas sale and came with 2k eagles and a week of premium.
No idea where those went, guess getting a rank IV plane for cheap is bad for Gaijin business.

>you can buy the m3 grant on steam still
epic

Literally just banter you autist

Does the grind just get worse the longer you go on?

Getting to Tier 2 was relatively fast, but after that things have bogged down at Tier 3-4 to the point where now I'm just unlocking all the Tier 1 planes because I can do it in a few missions instead of spending an entire day grinding a single plane.

Grinding to unlock a rank 5 plane gives you suicidal thoughts, unlocking all performance modules for it will end you.

You're supposed to J out right after they shoot you so they get a TK and lose shekels

It's exponential, so yes.
What really will make you want to kill yourself if the module grind though.

Don't forget to sperg out on chat so he gets TK'd too

Is there a more fun plane than the Wyvern?

I would probably return to spawn and kill you again if you got in an aa vehicle tbqh, sl is worthless.

>Is there
yes

>Shooting at ai(s), dropping bombing at bases, and flying in a straight line until the landing craft shows up to end the match

Yeah, real fun you stupid idiot. . .

you get your first rank 2 in hours, unlock others and spade them without notice, just by playing
you get ranks 3 in first week, and unlocking one in a day, and spade it on few days of casual playing, or day of intense grind
you get rank 4 in 2 weeks or so, but grind takes fucking forever, and playing stock you get constantly clubbed
you get first rank 5 in about month or 2, then you see RP requirments for parts, and if you still remember you're supposed to have fun, you give up on rank 5.

I only targeted the landing craft because we were outnumbered and unsure if we would win. It's a valid strategy. The other guys held them off while I secured us the win.
The plane performs well as a fighter as long as the enemies are not too high. Generally what I do is rush in, bomb a target, hit ground targets until enemies let themselves be dragged down, then perform horizontal BnZ on them. It's a great plane. Norway is generally the only map where I don't always get player kills, and that's simply because the fight rarely degenerates into a turnfight on the deck like on other maps.

>you stupid idiot
Rude.

Okay I think MK108 actually kills medium tanks in literally a single shell.

Yep. MK108 best tank killer

>On May 30, 1945, Lt. Col. Sarles led an all day multiple PBJ sweep of the Kibawe Trail near Davao. In the morning, his PBJ-1D "MB 7" was hit by AA fire. He and four crew members were KIA. The third pair of PBJs arrived over the area in the afternoon and having been advised that Sarles' PBJ had been lost, began a search, but to no avail. While making runs on their target, my father, 1st. Lt. Doit L. Fish, flying PBJ-1J "MB 11," became missing and was never seen again. He and his seven-member crew, including a passenger, were officially declared MIA.

>In November 1956, the aircraft wreckage and skeletal remains were discovered near Carmen. What was left of "MB 11" was strewn over an area of 400-500 feet on a slope about 300 feet from the crest of a mountain peak. Found at the site were two engines, portions of the landing gear, eight .50 caliber machine guns, two .38 caliber revolvers, miscellaneous items, two crewmember’s "dog-tags" and portions of bones.

:(

Whats the best mode to be an AFK bomber? RB or EC?

EC after all the fighter fags have gotten bored.

Has anyone ever landed a IL'28 in EC by enemy airfield and shot down anything taking off?

If you land near their airbases, your vehicle gets destroyed

It does, a single plane with the mk108 can destroy every tank with just one shell each

what the fuck is this memery?

Its the battle of two paper tanks with no mgs

It's the bullshit Russian memes.

>actually try playing as a dedicated fighter for once (forgot to unequip bombs, though)
>lose MVP at the last second to a Wyvern using the exact same strategy I usually do
Yeah, no. Maybe once I've gotten Superior.

>he doesn't have superior
>at level 50

Eh, I was a scrub for a very long time. I'm at 157/200 right now.

>discord aspies and ts aspies showdown

We're reaching forbidden amounts of shitposting here

Who /riding eternal/ here?

Shouldn't she already know how to man the gun being the commander? Or do German tank crews get assigned a role for the tank and not cycle through them?

Is it possible at Tier-3 American to kill medium/heavy tanks with anything except bombs/rockets?
(i.e. Cannon.)

hey am i supposed to put my luftwaffe insignias on both sides of the plane?

>tfw RB ec is the comfiest thing this game has to offer and its relegated to a 3 day event every 3 months
Why do they do this? I'd play this game 10x as much if historical RB EC was always around.

what does /wtg/ think about my decal?

...

There should be some kind of reward for getting clean kills. As it is right now, the game rewards you far more if you have shit aim and hit an enemy a bunch of times where it does nothing, than if you just zoom in and take them out in one pass.
Y/N?

This would also reward incredibly lucky pilot snipes and tail control damaged ))))) though.

How would you implement this though? How do you determine a clean kill?

>tfw gaijin has to come to /wtg/ to decide what to do with the game since forum cancer gay faggots want to just nerf everything

the thing is the "hit an enemy a bunch of times where it does nothing" part shouldn't be happening in the first place

Should just reward based on what module you damaged
Putting the plane down would give a bonus
