Only Greek tree we're getting is an Olive Tree with [SG508]HAF_Pilot (cute!) hanging from it.

Patch hasn't dropped, fuccboi. All the shit in the last thread was the dev server.

anyone else getting 5-10 fps drops? i'm on a GTX 1070 and I don't think this is normal.

...

Preload WHEN?

Nice

When the fuck are we going to get our weeb tanks and row boats? I'm tired of the soonTM

about a week

I hope that that is true, do you have any source?. I stopped playing for almost 3 motnhs because I was waiting till the addition of Japanese tanks, because gaijin said "soon".

did anyone try the chi-ha 12cm on the dev server yesterday? will it be not shit?

>play event
>most of my team spawns in planes
>3 minutes later our team has 1 air kill
>the enemy team has 12

so they updated the j7's model huh

tested it
it had trouble killing anything but the t-26
if you shoot at certain angles on the t-34 you can shot trap the he into the tank
its at a 2.0 br tho so it should be fine

They opened the dev server yesterday and they usually do that ~4-7 days before the patch drops, but I don't have any hard evidence to quote.

sounds pretty disappointing tbqh famalam I'll probably spend the money on alcohol and slaughter japs instead of joining them

the ho-ro or whatever its called is a fucking meme
spg with 75mm pen he and whenever you shoot the gun the spg goes flying backwards like 10 feet

that a tier one or two? either way it should unlock for free pretty fast

It's pretty shit. It has a short-reload, but 30 mm pen isn't enough to bully anything. Your best (only) chance is trying to meme enemies by hitting the bottom of their turret to meme them through the roof of the hull.

tier 1 also has aphe with like 2kg of filler that pens like 100-130mm I dont remember which but it was in that range

imgur.com/a/Nv0KK Here's the jap tree so far. I expect O-I and a slew of paper next patch.

15 tonnes.
15 cm howitzer with 290 m/s.
130 mm penetrating APHE and 75 mm penetrating HE.
8.3 second reload time with a good crew.
25 mm armor maximum..

The problem will be the massive recoil.

that tree has some decent meme value I guess
is the dev server opening again? I wonder if the f7fs are going to get the new ass belts or not, seeing as they currently have early-war belts.

Holy shit what the fuck.

whats that swedish nazi tank you guys wouldn't stop posting a couple months back?
that would be a neat premium

Recoil is so massive that it accelerates earths rotation speed so the tank rather travels towards shell not other way around

Why are Russian pilots SO much better at the game than nazi shitt?

Maybe if you are playing under T3 lmao.

for 75% of the player base, altitude is basically victory

you can't outclimb and out turn, you lose

I won the lottery and got $35 bucks to waste.
weeb teiga worth it?

Not really. It's gonna get chewed up, just like a regular Tiger E does.

Tiger at 5.7 is fucking brutal, its gonna do fine there

>Tiger at 5.7
>disregarding Tiger already at 5.7

if you're playing burger or brit tanks. 85 mm can kill it just fine.

Maybe, thanks to the fucked up matchmaking though it cheeses stuff, and godforbid should it see a downtier to 5.3/5.0

The Tiger E is 6.0 because spare track links and APCR ))))))))))))))))

Also so you can't double stack them without penalty, but most people don't think about that.

this event is proof that plane rb should remove enemy markers

if there was still some kind of distance measurement (but more subtle) and padlocking while removing the blatant markers that'd be nice.

>godforbid should it see a downtier to 5.3/5.0
story of every 76 mm Sherman tanker. mate

Haven't played for most of a year, but I'm comnig back for Nippon tanks.

Are shitboxes any less anti-fun to play, yet?

The BR wouldn't be a problem if Gaijin hadn't turned every single fucking map into lane-styled close quarters bullshit

Ahh so this is why people think burger planes are shit

just play another nation
you're not playing just to grind, are you user?

When will the dev server be up again? I need my carpet bombing fix

RIP

Blame the endless repeat of "air superiority" coupled with footage of P-47's strafing convoys in Normandy on history channel in USA.

Having to actually gain that air superiority is utterly foreign concept to muritards

why US tanks are completely invulnerable to ammo cookoffs?

you'd think 122mm blacking two ammoracks would cook that shit up like fireworks

wet ammo storage )))))

The game still displays ammo racks even when they've been emptied during the game I think.

Just fire again ))) Ammoracks detonate around 99% of the time

Fucking Gaijin ALWAYS taking the easiest way out.
It's not like, hey, that those shells aren't filled with explosives.

Mid-Late war US tanks all had wet / safe storage ammo.

They've been thinking about crew safety since then, unlike the Russians who finally decided it was a good idea with the T-14.

>He 100
>3x7.92mm MGs
What are they thinking? This is the M.C.202 all over again.

Don't forget that there's ammo in that big exposed box at the rear.

>it turns its turret to me
>one shot thorught paper thin front armor
Why are people afraid of this tank again? I get it that HEAT fin stablized is good on it but what the fuck? everything about it sucks, from it's armor to its gun. I don't get it how this tank is thought to be one of the best top tier in tank tree.

Apparently it used to be OP with its speed and HESH

also

>Not reversing into cover as soon as you fire

Yeah but ammo detonations still occured because not even water can help a direct hit to the ammo storage, something that Gaijin can't wrap it's head around

stupid fascisti not use fuel tank and ammo as extra armor

If Gaijin is asshurt enough to make slavtanks have handcrafted-quality armor and german HE filler be of inferior quality, then I can only imagine the heights of their "balans))))))" should they make a game about Gulf War

>He 100
>In the game

What were they thinking? This is the 10.5cm Tiger II, Panther II, Ho-229, Me-262 C1/C2, Kugelblitz, Coelian, Maus, E-100, 3 (three) variants of the Do-335 all over again

no it isn't

Wet stowage isn't modeled.

Hardly as often. Dry racks cooked off ~80% of the time, wet only about 15%.

wtf when did they get rid of x2?

It literally is.

choosing the underwhelming armament undertier variant is fucking dumb, though

where do you think we are

Hey, I can do well and club in the Folgore

>shoot glass of water

Don't get too much of an ass pain mr "it's balanced comrade" ))))))))))))
E-100 was a prize for a torunament, gayjing wanted to give people something nice and they thought that since only 200 people will have it might as well give out e-100 since documents and photos of semi assembled chassis existed.
Same with 10,5cm Tiger and Panther, shit was document and some parts were assembled therefore they added it so the germs could counter t54s and m60s before they added leo
>Ho-299
existed and assembled it maybe never flew but once again germs need something
>Do-335
Existed and flew, true only 1 of them but existed nonetheless

>you see this is why t34 can bounce leopard shells! )))))))))
>it's all science comrade!!!!!
