>being bad in the most meta plane in the game
get good shitter

Japanese tanks are fine; you are just shit at the game.

>hey mom look what I can do in test drive with nobody taking advantage of my reload that is 1.5x longer than a tiger IIs

Gas the spitniggers when

when you manage to catch them in the stratosphere :^)

>thinking reload matters when you're invulnerable front the front and you kill the King Tigers gunner through the UFP or Turret Front

kek

>invulnerable from the front
>mantlet can be penetrated by any naziboo shitbox of its BR with their stock shell

>invulnerable from the front
>mantlet
>UFP except where the tracks are
>MG port
>LFP
inb4 just angle turret
the second you angle it a tiny little bit it will expose 127mm side places and the mantlet is cast so its about 180 mm effective anyways

>Japanese tanks are good

Holy fuck at the rate im going i can probably research the entire japanese tank tree today.

>180 mm
Cast is x0.94 so 203 mm cast = ~191 mm RHA.

What did Gaijin think when they added the Panthers? Makes no sense that you have to research 4 almost identical tanks in a row..

>posted from my six (6) shermans

Are you playing without premium/boosters?

i got all tier 3s in about 12 hours gameplay

Lmao who the fuck plays the burger tanks? Literally the worst ones in the game

just premium, no boosters, but began this morning and im on the M24 already.

Stupid question. I'm the only one that's able to see the user made skin on my tank right?

How the fuck are you supposed to even use the I-16 type 27??

Everything I face climbs better and goes faster than me and literally fucking nobody tries turning with me, not even spitshitters

Even fucking then I always get swarmed by dozens of fucking P-51s and P-47s and spitshitters booming and zooming me not even allowing me to turn with any of them

I'm just trying to bring my KDR up to not look like a shitter but I'm just making it fucking worse!!!!!!!! For fuck's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hm, do you think it's worth going all-in japanese right now until the rest of the line is added?

Yes, if you gind it all out now you can just get the ones you want as they add them instead of having to get all the other dumb shit they stick in the way.

FUCKING HELP ME

Unfortunately yes

Alright, thanks! Don't got premium though

what's that yellow stripe decal?

tfw not a good goy and only have one loli tank to play with

Recycled chinks

for this skin

no what is it in the decal menu

i can't find it

...

oh it's just a special decal then, wew lad

Buy the premium Converted Pz IV to TD

you're just getting a streak of shitty teams, the i-16 is terrible at holding its own against multiple enemies

wait and play it some other time and play as a support fighter

if you bought a tank to get access to the line right now you get 7 days of premium.

I'm trying to understand a thing I didn't bother to learn until now: how the fuck are the points given?

This battle was one of the few in which I do good, but when the battle ended I was ranking second in the team, so I gave a look and saw that another player got more points than me by killing one third the tanks I've killed, but downing one plane once he was able to jump in his flying thing.

So, what gives you the most RP? Is it better capping a point, or pushing up to the enemy spawn hoping to spawnkill someone? Is it better to do what you can in a tank and then hop into a plane rather than taking another tank?

>only censor out your own name
Just makes it easier to find you

He killed a plane and probably got/took more hits.

Deflecting a fuckton of enemy projectiles with your armor gives you buttloads of points, I remember one match where I got my Jumbo out and kept bouncing 4 niggers shooting at me simultaneously until one lucky Panther finally penned and killed me. At the end of the experience I had over 2000 points by doing almost nothing.

So, technically killing the enemy gives you the most points in a single action, but deflecting projectiles gives you more points on the long run.

Which T34 should I choose with the 4.3 lineup(KV-1S, SU-85)?

>bouncing shells gives you point
That's cool, but entirely dependant on the tank and basically luck. Anyway, thanks.

German tankers are shit, Japanese should not have to queue with them. Such stupid player.

>kill a G-6 tailsitting my b-25
>one (1) stray bullet hits my engine
>catches on fucking fire
>turn off the engine and set mixture to zero
>keeps burning
>opposite wing falls off
Wow this game is really realistic!

why is this plane so good?

It makes sense: when an engine can't pull anymore, all the propelling force is given by only one engine, thus the drag load is not balanced equally between the two wings, but all the drag forces are concentrated on the wing's root.

It's of realism )))))))))

>naziboos will defend this

>tail control somehow not lost
you lucky little shit

boohoo
cry more

How do you get the cavalry emblems. What do you have to buy.

Japanese tankers are the elite breed.

>tail control fine
>spars not damaged
>wings fine until you belly land like retard
>still have fuel

Any plane could land like this.

I took probably 500+ hits and killed a P-38, too. They may have overdone it when they were tweaking DMs this patch.

>they may have overdone it

the new ju-88 is completely indestructible AND the funnest plane of 1.65

...

should I team kill

>Japs get implemented
>5.7 is full of Tiger Es swarming against Shermans and the lone T-V I am
>5 straight defeats

gee I sure am glad Gaijin didn't make a new nation OP so everyone buys it

YES

holy shit this is true

even if you smash the ground at mach three the wings still stay on

holy fucking shit lmao

Just wait for everyone to gind it out so you have full teams of bulldogs supported by tigers shitting on full teams of bulldogs supported by fucking nothing.

Yeah the japanese Tiger E should get 6.0

Or as a German player: REEEEEE BRING THE TIGER E DOWN TO 5.7 YOU UNFAIR CUNTS

uh oh looks like the game wants to research it!!!

At least the jap version is missing a shell and premium, unlike the sherman.

forgot pic

Which shell is it missing? PzGr 40?

Do it. Post results.

The jap tiger doesn't get APCR to justify its lower BR, just like the slav panther.

did i mention you get a bomber spawn with bombs being a tier 3 modification? and the ability to spawn without bombs, something that no bomber in-game has?

also take a good look at how much armor covers the pilot in the cockpit and immagine spitfire tears as they unload bubblegums into your fuselage

anything less than 20mm literally has no effect on you. even if you catch fire you'll just burn out all your fuel because LOL WINGS ACTUALLY CANNOT RIP OFF ON THIS THING

I'd honestly be fine if they removed APCR from the Panther A and G to get them on 5.7. But in the end the entire panther line should be in one "slot" in the tree so you can research the Panther 2 without researching 4 identical tanks

what the fuck did i just watch

If they were a good dev and this weren't a skinner box every chassis would be condensed to its own folder.

kek I shot him but someone else got kill. fuck you stona

Why is he playing that shitbox?

So he can post "there is no problem with japanese I-Go Ko))))))))" on the forums, and have games on his player card to give himself some merit.

>1:38
Out of beta)))))))))))))))))

You can't TK a tank with a tank in RB, dummies.

...

holy shit is this the r2d2 of tier 1

The P1Y1 can also spawn without bombs, but it's basically useless without them as it's got no offensive armament.

Daily reminder

>American tanks haven't been doing the exact same thing since they dropped
Weeaboo persecution complex sure is something

american tanks are just plain shit though lmao

I-Go filler has to be bugged.

The Ha-Go does more damage with far less filler.

Reminds me of when I killed one of the forum mods while playing ships. I launched torpedoes just to supress some faggots shooting at my teammates and suddenly he came out from behind a rock and got killed by one of them.


forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/profile/585712-smin1080p/content/&type=core_statuses_reply&page=50

I was thinking more of he'd block him in place or something so he'd die by enemies.

>Landing Craft: Player Edition

Fuck off no one cares

>being poor

Fucking hell no

youtube.com/watch?v=PSaazixWhko
no webm

If that happens, Soviet 5.7-6.0 is already more ded than 6.7. The T-V used to be somehow fun when you rarely saw teams entirely composed of Tigers, but now it's just point and click for the weeaboos.

Has anyone noticed less bounces on it? I used to bounce at least five 88mm shots before dying in it, but No6s just seem to instashoot my gunner/breech no matter where they aim before killing my crew with the second shot. Or do they just know how to aim?

This isn't about how much money you have

It's about Gaijin totally lying in their trailers about whats the boats would be

They showed cruisers and destroyers and shit.

Fuck off shill,

>BEING POOR
LMAO

So will going through dense urban areas be a valid tactic with the Ju-88 C6?

Or ramming bombers and fighters with your wing if you're out of ammo?

163486149
>lol i've lost the argument so I'll just blog maybe he won't notice xDDD

no more yous for you

lmao i bet you haven't even bought a premium japanese tank yet.

Trying to boom and zoom biplanes in the He 100 feels like trying to gun down props in an F-15

is it just me or do bombs scatter a shitton more now?

tried using the he 111's stock payload of 32x50kg on a base and fucking half the bombs missed

are all premiums 50% off?
