???
also,
>no british commander with an english accent

Enjoy the HE-100 at 1.7 BR while you can before it gets uptiered to uselessness

>Soon
>Hopefully soon

seeing 5 I-Go-Ko trying to range on a target is fucking hillarious.

>tfw He 100

>the entirety of jap T1 isn't available to non good goys
y tho

>shilling for boreblunder

KYS!

The Ta-154 is too good at 4.0

>decent at climbing
>excellent roll rate
>heavy armament
>armored
>fast as fuck
>redlines only way over 700
>almost no compression

Meanwhile Hs129 B-2 is fucking 3.7
I think it's going up to 4.7 very soon.

>Ta-154 is sexy as fuck and has good performance
>shitty ass placeholder cockpit
I'm conflicted.

>excited for jap tanks
>only good goys can unlock new ones

when does this cuck shit end?

>excited as fuck for jap tenks
>only goys and autists get to play anything other than reserve

when do we start sending the angry letters to gaijin?

The hell are you comparing it to the duck for? Are you saying the MK108 spark slinger rapes medium tanks like the MK103 railgun?

>new as fuck

>PLAYING BORE BLUNDER

kys!

>look at jap tank armor
>most of is JUST tier
holy keks

>comparing a heavy fighter to an attacker

>look at jap tank shells
>most of it is nuke tier
holy keks

>20:00 min wait time
JUST

When

>armor
>mattering
There's a reason why the truck 88 clubs.

because dumb fucks wont aim at gun breach ??

>shoot M2 with 57
>nothing
>nothing
>nothing
>nothing
>I die
well so much for 100g of explosives
captcha: sushi

>There's a reason why the truck 88 clubs
because it has a fully traversable 88 at 3.7
and the armor isn't thick enough to set off any fuzes

so let's recap
>I-Go Ko
>terrible velocity
>accuracy is worse than the 2pdr
>long range accuracy is worse than a shotgun
>100g of filler means fuck all because 90% of the time the RNG fucks up and completely nullifies it
>armor and such are non existent
confirmed shitbox?

>jap 57mm
>Slightly higher pen than american 50 cal @ 1000m

What did you expect desu senpai

they finally made it so you can see other people's exhaust

I am comparing the flight performance you mongrels. Guns aren't everything, even so I have no problems with shooing the MK108, so fuck off.

wait what

You should compare it's flight performance with other heavy fighters, not attackers.

you can only unlock all tiers from day 1 when you are in jap CBT all without have to wait a few weeks and every fewd ays new tanks unlock for research

so what can i unlock for now, only tier I tanks?

no idea im already at the Chi To
TIger makes the grind fast af

you can only use reserve and the first SPAA

Now if only exhaust and engine noises were realistically modeled.

Let me make a comparison with a comparable heavy fighter then - 410 A-1

>much better roll rate
>better armament
>better climb rate
>faster
>much less compression
>turns better

>only 0.3 BR higher

>jap 120 hits my Nb. Fz.
>an MGer turns into a simpson
also loving this crew speaking their respective language feature
and the new camera shaking

>tfw been queuing for 15 minutes to try nip tanks now

When will it end?

when we get anything other than reserve, for now its 110 jap reserve tanks in queue at any given time.

Didn't they have bong vs bong back when Brits were released? Are they not doing that now?

>avenger shoots me from open field and game doesnt render him

nice i knew gaijin would fuck the new spotting shit up but this is almost insulting
almost all my deaths so far where tanks that didnt get rendered from behind bushes that wouldnt even hide 10% of that tank

play arkaden you dip
I got one in under 30s

>arcade

Might as well not play in that case

same here

maybe they will work those issues out in the "lets nerf all CBT tanks to shit " patch that inevitably comes at the end of the jap CBT

>Separate decal types for holes and the results of hits with armour piercing shells and HE shells have been added.

what did he man by this?

>play some E-7 to unlock he He 100
>team never has more than three fighters
>uptier every time against teams full of P-47s
EC tricked me into trying the shitshow that is RB again.

When you get slapped with HE it's going to look different to a hit by AP

>EC tricked me into trying the shitshow that is RB again.
As opposed to what? Arcade?
Dear god I hope you're not bad enough to play ABs

cool

No, SB.

>literally not one non-premium jap tank between 5.0-6.3 to compliment the nip Tiger
Guess I'm going against IS2 1944s in my M4A3, huh, Gaijin?

>"TB-3 flammability has been decreased"
>engine still lights on fire after the first 8mm hit and burns down my plane despite shutting off my engines
>this shouldn't even be possible because the TB-3 had fire extinguishers
top wew

JAP TIGER

>Rolling in brummbar
>not a single kraut tiger
>~5 nippon tigers

c o m f y

why the fuck is airfield niggering so prevalent in early-tier games
most of these shitters don't even have positive k/d, why do they try so hard

Anybody wanna research na-to and report back if its fucked or not

why is my F6F-5N always roll slightly to the left

How else are you supposed to climb after repairing?

its fucked they didnt change anything from dev server theres still alot dep missing

that's beside the issue, I just want to know why it doesn't happen nearly as much in games tier 3 and up
people either accept death or abandon the game

I'm looking to get into SB, but without pedal controls, a joystick and throttle controls I'm reluctant

>dude with negative K/Ds across the board lecturing people on BnZ
heh

>first tank match in 1.65
>ZSU 37
>3rd person view wobbles with the tank
>killed a couple crewmen on an M18
>someone else got the kill
>no assist for me
>later hit a medium tree
>driver is sleepy
>transmission orange
>after driver gets replaced I get killed by a P47, apparently
>the explosion and craters appear a second after the kill message
>get the "Master American aircraft to perfection!" badge after it
>I didn't use any burguer plane in the last 5 days

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUK

>tfw i have negative k/d

it's something i'll never recover

neat

it's faster than a leopard at 7.0

it shows that gaijin doesnt care about balance
should be 7.3 at least

?FW-190a/d (all modifications) - Boost pressure and RPM by switching the blower have been fixed.

The is this?

Is this a nerf?

>get big new dlc
>dont expect to have to pay for it
game developers cant just devote time to things and give them away free

What did you guys bind open bomb bay doors and drop series of bombs to?

Bomb bay: Page Up
Drop series: Page down.

B and N

Good idea, thanks lad.

How does drop series work anyway? I tried it and it seems kind of random how many it drops.

Hold it down.

>N1K2-Ja
>JaBo version of the N1K2-J
>has same bomb lineup because Gaijin removed the dual 500 kg from the Ja
ok then

DELETE

Thanks. I didn't realize it would drop ALL bombs. I thought it would let you specify an amount or something.

>Fw.190A-5/U12
fuck is that

they splitted the A-5/U into those two
the U12 can take the cannon pods and the old one has the bomb racks

Fw 190 A-5/U12 — A special U12 was created for bomber attack, outfitted with the standard 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 and 20 mm MG 151 but replacing the outer wing 20 mm MG-FF cannon with two underwing gun pods containing two 20 mm MG 151/20 each, for a total of two machine guns and six cannon.

Oh so it's useless

It's simply a Soviet Leopard. Nato cuck players and naziboos will lose their shit calling it OP and asking for a nerf while wanting buff for their Leo.

You could spam switch supercharger gears in MEC and get a noticeable engine power output boost out of it.

...

+12 GE!

7.0 is fine!

The He 100 is the least fun plane I have ever played. It's more annoying than the 202.

yeah its a slav leo
at 7.0
a leo at 7.0 do you not see the problem with that boris?

nice dude.

They'll probably make you start from the beginning of the tree if you switch to something else and back )))))))))))))))))))))))

Kjpz at 7.7 with 0.5 sec faster rate of fire and 20 mm better heat, not that 300/320 has major difference + turret and more mobile)))))))))))))))

ki 102otsu is fucking fun, it fucks up pillboxes at single shot, also u probably have to unlock Ki Tei too to get it

>The wings of the D-9 still had the electrical circuits and attachment points for the underwing BR 21 rocket propelled mortar, although none appeared to have used these operationally
if it was a soviet-only unit it would have them in-game

>wanted to start playing again a few days ago
>downloaded a huge patch
>wanted to play again today
>another fucking huge patch

Is the Chi Ha 120mm's gun fucked for anyone else? seems to be penning but never detonating lol

same here
the fragments penetrate but dont do jackshit

suppries been cut offu, cannot afford ganpowda.
much dishonorabru

>can no longer drop laser guided bombs from my arado wunderwaffle

Damn

how are the guys in the chi-ha 12cm surviving being hit by the breech?

got hit in the side by one in a tank that should've easily been penned
didn't
