FIRST FOR BEST TANK

1. You are 15 posts early retards
2. BUSHES ARE LITERALLY PAY2WIN

...

no bias, just hidden odcuments found in kremilin basement )))))))))))))))))))

Wow really? Fuck you OP!

MC205 when???

>pasta

why does the stug have the mg34 shield but not the mg34?

T34 seems to have a pretty reasonable selection of ammo but are you stuck with
>your single choice
>shitnel
>he
or is there some way to customize the load out im missing?
it would be really nice to bring some heat or apcr along but if not BR-350B seems to be the best overall choice of primary round, correct?

wat

unfair und unbalans

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

But why model the shield then?

)

so you can hit it to bounce shrapnel down unto the crew

why do the p-47 and hellcat and f8f and any other plane that sounds like it sound so fucking bad? it's such a fucking obvious 4 second loop that doesn't even sound like a fucking engine

sound budget went to the russian planes

>burgers always whine about their tanks being crap compared to other nations
>M18, early Shermans, Calliope, T92, M56 & T29
>Hellcats, Bearcats, AD-2, P-47 to spam shit from air all day long
if had it with these faggots.
even slavs are shit compared to how much handholding burgers get these days and unlike nazis they still believe they deserve more downtiered shit.

It seems Slavic superiority has led to some issues

it's almost like terrain isn't all flat

Yeah dude some me the epic ww2 battlefield that is as mountainous as Karelia. Especially with the bullshit huge cliffs on the border of the map that fedora tipping retards climb 45° angles up

how well does this work ingame?

every ACM is entirely based on the circumstances you are fighting in and can not be applied to every plane and every situation in game.

For something like that you'll want a set of pedals and a stick because using M+KB is too stiff for fine rudder control and twist rudder sticks are kinda shit.

only reason why rudder works so damn well is because gaijin is too lazy to add external ballistics to rounds that are acting against or away the slipstream

I dont think we're talking about the same thing at all

>tfw the game will never be good and balanced

significantly worse than flying in a straight line and jiggling the mouse
big persistent predictable maneuvers are how you get shot down in-game

best maneuver is still roll cancer

>me in RB
>spend five shells zeroing in
>still can't hit them

>the enemy T34
>uses the fucking force to one-hit-kill me at a million kilometers

The fuck man

git gud

you will get a feeling for the drop with time even with my Pz III N i can usually hit with the firrst hit even at pretty long distances and thats with the short 75

Yeah, I only started out yesterday, and shell drop is the bane of my existence.

this is a bad habit to get into buuuut you can range a bit with your coax but you should stop that asap when you get to learn the drop because it gives away your position

>create a historical event in arcade with mixed teams

Play teebs, good goy for the tank formerly known as prince, abuse APDS with next to no drop.

>difficulty level: arcade

wouldnt it just be t34s and t35s vs dicks anyway?

i wish i could enjoy my BP but its just so slow and also overtiered imo it should be 5.7 again
its so slow it cant keep up with the battle and the armor isnt worth shit with long 88s at 5.3 and 6.3

>waaah

Why does new guinea even fucking exist

What's the reward for doing these events? Anything in addition to the usual?

this should keep me away from WT and from blogging too much about it for a day or two

its on sale atm for 3 bucks def worth it

nope they usually actually reward less

Nope. Gaijin just gets to keep saying they have something loosely resembling history in their game.

> still no He100

>still missing production clap vehicles that were accepted into service and would fill big gaps in the trees
>naw, let's get more naziboo protoshit

>wanting one thing means i dont want something else
fuck off gaijinshill

Degenerates like you are why we're getting a second horten.

i dont care. i dont play the game anymore

Wait we are? Sweet.

It's unconfirmed, but supposedly it'll have hardpoints for bombs.

holy shit you actually believed unofficial gaijin VK page ?????

>a plane designed as a bomber is getting bombs
Wow this is terrible fuck you gaijin

Why not just give the current one hardpoints and bomb modules? Either way can't wait for another flying warcrime.

>tfw Jack Northrop rolling in his grave

>HE into toyota truck from brummbar
>just 2 crew and engine dead

Gee I wonder why Gaijin would add a new vehicle for people to grind rather than just change an existing one hmm

Are stories and memes true?

You'll hate it until you git gud.

>literally posted from my totally not protoshit T29

Have you trained in the Panther 2?

>premium protoshit is just as bad as main tree protoshit
Ok, naziboo.

I want airfield spawn back for bombers, I miss ground-attacking in the Blenheim. Now I have to dive down from a gorillion feet to ground attack which puts me straight in the path of enemy fighters.

just change "respawn base" to airfield after the match starts and before you spawn in

>bounce long 88 mm shells in my t29 with both my hull, and my turret
aim for the hull mg port you mong.

But the option isn't even there anymore for bombers, that's the problem. I know how to select where to spawn from etc. but Gaijin removed it.

>jumbo armor is "fixed"

or the LFP or the fuckhuge turret that is only 200mm
why are nazis so retarded

I can see how you might get confused, seeing as they both end in "two."

i know, but if you wait a few seconds on the pre-mission screen after the match starts for everyone else it lets you change it

>posted from my alien racecar with fully automatic laserpointer aka Super Hellcat
Well they both go fast.

Oh shit really? The option just appears like that? Thanks a ton for telling me, but Gaijin changing it is still fucking gay as fuck

>laser pointer
>170 mm pen APHE point blank at a perfect angle
Pick literally only one.

I play britbongs and Amerifags only

Got Pershing talismanned, T32 unlocked but I have to research the T26 first in order to buy it (I got memed). After that I'll go M46

Got Firefly and Comet talismanned, currently researching the crusader because it's necesarry, but after that I'm grinding towards Chieftans

am I wasting my time, /wtg/?

slavs and germans are alot more fun desu
brits and yanks are just support nations at this point

>am I wasting my time, /wtg/?
yes you are. WT is trash

Yes. The best clap MBT gets spitroasted by ZSU-57-2s and hortens all day, and their best super heavy has to grind to unlock its only usable ammo, which it must then pay 1400 SL per shot to use, while also getting spitroasted by ZSU-57s and Hortens.

Teebs are okay, but you're with claps every match so you lose every match.

what am i in for?

im expecting 9/10 matches in 6.7 desu

>A-5
Why not F-8?

was my fav plane for a very long time and i got the talisman 4 free

will i be pulled into the 6.7 blackhole or the 5.3 blackhole more often?

>fighter rescuer/bomber rescuer warbond mission
>save the same bomber 3 times
>no reward for it
Excellent reward system, Gayjew.

you have to let them hit the bomber before you save the bomber

The first guy did. There was smoke coming out of two of the guy's engines.

play 4 engine bomber
wait 3 min for a game to play
spawn on a map with no airfielld, only carriers

WHY IS THIS ALLOWED ???
