/wtg/ War Thunder General

Never flown it myself but from what I've seen and heard it's pretty good.

...

>slavaboos

Jesus Christ why are German tank teams so fucking braindead

no situational awareness or any other awareness

...

I just can't believe how blind they can fucking be. I just had a match where a t34 was lurking around a corner so mark on the map multiple times and just when I think my teammate is flanking him he literally drives right past as though he's not there. Was a fucking Russian player too.

he's right if you remove German from the sentence tho

i once popped 3 tigers from side close to point blank, they were all just sniping

Spamming pinging or other means of spotting is waste of time

what went wrong ?

When was this made, 2 years ago?

yes brummbar came out 2 years ago

the fuck are xbox hueg stickers ?

Is there any developer that treats their community worse than Gaijin?

Valve in almost every single regard.

Riot games
Digital Extremes
Wargaming

>Wargaming
Come on, I used to play WoT for a long time and it was never as bad as here.

Wargaming actively mocks and fucks with their community for shits and giggles.

when does the shitposting start ??

You just started it. Why not post something worthwhile the next time so we can avoid it?

Once americans come online.

When the ts tykes wake up and coordinate a chimpout

How do I convert from playing >arcade to playing realistic?

with tonks, you learn best camping spots, to camp and not get camped, and weakspots on enemy armor because you have no pen indicator.

with air you learn to climb and stay fast. And to conserve ammo.

there's a drop down menu at the top, just under the battle button

Thanks
I guess it's time to learn how to climb
Thanks

Their tanks have bad mobility and typically slow turret traverse compared to everyone else. They're also designed primarily for looking in one direction and defending in that direction. So for about 4 tiers they've learned to do nothing but that, which makes flanking them easy.

Brits are brain dead also. I flank them constantly and they just gleefully ignore me.

All this, and Germany still winds up winning most Era V matches anyways.

>Panther A

The panthers are all shit except for the Panther 2 which is unbelievably incredible. Stop being a shitposter.

>Neutral turning

Which is still pretty shit. An M18 can easily outmaneuver a Tiger trying to simply turn to shoot at it, with max crew stats. It's painfully slow and will result in situations with guaranteed death, especially within close range

>Tiger H1's perfect Diamond

The Tiger H1 is penned by the M18 on its upper glacis while angled now. The Tiger H1's armor is worthless with one of the most recent update. Only the most hardcore of shitters deny this. Most heavy tanks below about 6.3-6.7 range were hit hard, actually.

>The panthers are all shit
This is what a shitpost looks like, kiddos.

Stopped reading there.

>Gaijin support
>It's actually pretty good
What the fuck.

The Panthers aren't shit but with perhaps the the exception of the A they aren't great either.

For me the Panthers were my git gud tanks since I had to actually put some thought into what I was doing due to that fucking reverse speed.

If a German player grinds and spades the Panther line they should be well prepared for high tier gameplay, which probably explains the abundance of incompetent tiger players.

Tips on flying the Horten?

Why didn't the. Germans win at Stalingrad? Didn't they have the Tiger?

No, worse, they relied on Romanians

turn fight around 500 kmh Anything close to 600 is bye bye wings

Since gajin added Tiger II with 10,5cm gun. (it was only on paper since they never actually did that) Will they add more machines that were planned and based of existing vehciles but were not added? I'm talking about night version of Arado with gun pod with 20mm cannons.

They're hardly more mobile than the Tiger line at times and they suffer from being a glass gun. I refrain from calling them glass cannons because while their guns have high penetration, their explosive filler isn't always enough to make up for their reload rate. I've had a disabled ISU 122 repair before I could get in another effective shot to kill him before. The 6.0 Panthers suffer heavily from being uptiered constantly, with most of everything easily penning them on their upper glacis, let alone the giant weak turret.

they added tiger 10.5 because they though its good idea to give slavs is4m, same goes for panther 2 to counter t54 )))

How do you make requests on camo section? I want to request somebody to make night camo for Arado since i think it looks sexy as fuck.

>nigh fighter variant of jet bomber
>armed with only 2 x 20 mm
I wonder what BR they would put it on. Seem overpowered anywhere bellow 6.0, but pretty useless anywhere above it

Why do Germans love Mexicans?

Look at arado c3 mate

Goddam tank grind is so much suffering when you're not a wallet warrior. I've been researching this for more than a month and it's not even a tier 5.

>enemy team has at least a squad of Hunters
>meanwhile my team doesn't even have a single MiG-17

coincidence ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It could have been useful if it had 75mm.

I already decided I'm not gonna do that.

Anything that takes maybe more than a week to unlock I wont bother with, I'm not going to waste hours upon hours of my life for this fucking game anymore.

I've been thinking maybe just the Tiger 2 but then I saw 100,000RP and lost interest, I think I'll just play the long game and wait for gaijin to drastically boost RP again when their playerbase starts slipping.

As for now with RP reward already being so miserable I'm just grinding lower tiers of other nations up to a point and thats it. Not gonna devote so much time to this game anymore desu

Note I have premium and its still pathetically slow to unlock shit, especially after the recent RP reward change.

What do you fags know about grind.

I know that I never want to devote so much of my time for a fucking russian WWII tank and plane game

Also i forgot to add. I'm a non premium fag that never spent a dime on this game.
Also
If you're not gonna research higher vehicles then what are you gonna do? Research some usless shit for 5k and never play it?

I'm just never going beyond tier IV and on some nations not even past tier III

Otherwise the grind gets higher and higher and the RP reward isnt high enough per AB or RB game to compensate even at the best of times so theres no sense trying.

>bombs are OP

this, your goal in war thunder isn't to grind all the way to tier 5 despite what everyone says it is

Ehh i guess everybody is different. I don't think about the grind, just ocasionally check how much i have left, And before i know it boom i got the vehicle.
I usually play the highest tier i can to get the most xp but from time to time i play tier 1 or other low tiers just for fun.

For some strange reason sometimes during carrier takeoff the plane wouldn't have any lift and proceed to fall into the water

>I think I'll just play the long game and wait for gaijin to drastically boost RP again when their playerbase starts slipping

>implying Gaijin won't just double down like fucking retards and completely kill the game.

>you finally get that tank or plane you wanted!
>ops, game is fucking dead and no one is playing
BUT THE PREMIUM T34 IS ON SALE GOY!

bote cbt fucking when

It could be fun if they do it right, but they will probably go full luftwaffe 1946 shit rather then things that did fly and were close to production

>tfw spamming bombers

waste 100 shekesl on boats closed beta
>miss the beta

epic

>play SB
>research gain per battle is far better than in AB
>however, as a result flying spaded planes feels like a giant waste
>also, i'm only good at SB in my 2.0-2.7BR Bf 109s
oh dear

How the fuck do you play bombers?
Every time i try to place Arcade or RB my team just fucking leaves me and i get fucked by en enemy planes.

For "SB" substitute "RB"
I've been awake too long in awe of the fact I'm actually enjoying the game for the first time since Saipan in my TBD.

How is XP gain in RB and SB compared to AB? I'm playing AB becasue i have multipule respawns but i heard that RB are still better for research.

I'm getting about 1.3k/match or so at the moment. That might actually be slower per-hour than AB, but it's less stressful or frustrating.

I've not really looked at the figures but it's nice seeing maybe 2/6 the research bar on a plane fill per mission instead of a tiny little dot each time.

>mfw I get first place on team with 7 ground kills and nothing else
is that... normal thing to happen in high tier RB?

That figure may actually be too low. 1.8k might be a better average, I had a bit of a streak of 2.0-2.6k missions. (Usually 1 air-to-air kill, a few hits on air targets, strafed

Hmm 1.8k is still low. I usually get 2.5-3k of XP per match.
I'm playing german tanks at tier 4. I just love AB, you'd think that if people got this far with tanks they'd know how to play but nope. Average game for me is 6-10 kills.

I'm Tier 2 at the moment, which might explain the disparity. Bf 109E-3 mostly.

Which matchmaking sometimes decides is an appropriate match for an F-4U and despite the fact I've killed 2 of them, I still don't agree

>Arcade
you either take something manouverable with good defensive armanent like B-25 and hit precisely from RB
Only way to make yourself useful is by bombing out airfield. Unless you bring heavy bomber and have bunch of pals with heavy bombers with you, you're just waste of slot for your team.

RB has generous boost to vehicle reasearch, nearly twice amount of modification RP

Useless as long as jets are 6.7 and above. Arado B should be 6.3 and C 6.7 like they used to be.

>C 6.7
are you nuts?

>check for skins on Arado
>all of the cool skins are fucking out dated.

Got arado c3 k/d close to 2

If i would play more i would have no problem getting it there. Its like bf 110 of jets

germans teammates are fucking shit... There should be some kind of trial to play them...

nice

Welcome to high tier RB

RB EC without proxy spotting when?

the problem starts at the game's sound engine
no matter what sound modders use, it will be still shit and unrealistic because of the 8(!!) year old system this game uses

t. guy with a fiio dacamp and mdr 7506 phones

what's wrong with the sound engine?

>more warmongering
Whacha guys think about the tank?

>most revolutionary change in tank design in the last half century
>all of these features have been done before

ok

the boris sound mod should be part of the game

>breaks down during a parade

The fact that you can hear incoming planes a kilometer away for one.
