>unloved vehicles edition

They put it on 5.7? Fuck sake

u guys think i want to play in ULQ?Of course not!
But i play on a toaster , if i put maximum settings i get 10 fps(luckily).So u say is advantage,u know what is be killed by a tank in front of u what u cant see because the only way the game run is render only the near? The game looks like Silent Hill because of a fog what surround u .
My solution is put a something what detect the informations of ur sistem.That way users with good computers can`t put the ULQ .Already the toaster users have problems enough!

>M26
>unloved
I might not play it anymore but I still love the shit out of the Pershing. Maybe if Gayjew fixed the gimped pen on the M82 I'd play it more.

>Chinese vehicles

how much is it supposed to pen?

Supposedly it could punch through the UFP of a Panther, but in game it can't.

looking for qt bf to fuck my ass, pls respond

source?

>the panther 2 is faster than most light tanks at its tier
>naziboos CONTINUE to defend this

>12 degrees/s rotation
>34.5 hp/t
>8 second reload
>-9 degrees vertical
>5.7
I know its fake but if only.

>posted as I pen the UFP of a Tiger II in my M56

the hp/t number is true

not him, but it's sort of well known.
Pershing: A History of the Medium Tank T20 Series by Hunnicutt.
T33 could pen Panther's glacis up to 1100 yards (about 1000 m), M82 up to 450 yards (400 m).
It also mentions improved M82 with stronger propellant, that was delivered by end of war.

tiger shitters literally can't kill 3 dudes exposed with a gun

>mfw getting to Tier IV for germany was the fastest of every other nation

It's fucking EZ Modo

Haven't played Soviets I see.

>mfw it took 6+ months getting 6.0
Going to take another 6 to get the 6.7 tanks

Is the AI supposed to be lethal? Is this is a bug or a "feature". I just had an AI T-34 1942 from the side. I was driving a Tiger E.

This has happened many times before and I see it happen to others as well, often times the AI tank shouldn't even be able to penetrate the player tank even if the AI tank is firing AP shells. As far as I know the AI is not supposed to be firing lethal shells, even in my M56 with literally no armor, I can take AI shells without any damage.

But then once in a blue moon the AI one shots you, and it's always a one shot, you never take non-lethal damage from the AI.

So, is this a bug or a feature?

>"Premium account combined with a premium tank will get you to tier V tanks in about 1-2 weeks of hard gridnding. "
Is he joking or have I missed the best grinding method in the game?

Fuck off, Soviets stop being a joke once you get the Pz III

>BEEP BOOP.....AUTISM BOT

youtube.com/watch?v=5iZMD_eCpEo

how do we fix the russian N-37?

youtube.com/watch?v=Gq00dxHLGEo

>N-37

Maybe try aiming it instead of spamming shit all over the armored parts of the enemy plane.

in what universe 10x 37mm hits cant kill a bomber/fighter

In the universe that you fail to aim for the weakspots while playing Arcade.

SEKRET DOKUMENTS

CAN FIRE IN FRONT AND BEHIND....AT SAME TIME!

So which pair of you assholes is this?

Holy fuck, what kind of settings and resolution do you play on..?

A single hit from that 37mm should have outright made that plane un-flyable.

Pic related is what happened when a mk108 hits the rear fuselage of Spit.

That R2D2 should have been split in two.

A R C A D E

>1024x576
>ULQ
>14FPS

Are....are you a slav user?

It happens in RB too user.

Hopefully after they fix the sparking German 50mm mineshells.

a single hit from 37 mm will kill anything smaller than Do 217 in arcade as well, as long as your aim isn't complete shit

>allies keep losing because they keep starting the game with too many planes
Same old story same old song and dance

Or if the game doesn't arbitrarily decide to make your shot spark

I want to cum on Triahx-chan's face!

+15GE!!

Fuck off, this isnt /b/

yea sure, because the R2Y2 has tons of armor on it right?

also the center of the plane is a huge fuel tank, it should have at least caught fire from that

Don't fuel it...

Nice.
Now you practically ensured it.

Fuel tanks won't catch fire unless it's an HE or incendiary

even without good angle, 3 or 4 hits will usually snap off entire tail
large cannons don't "spark" they make "puffs" that look like explosion, except they don't do shit. Just like sparks this is caused by desynch between client and server, when plane isn't where client sees it.
This issue is so visible in arcade, simply because planes are faster and more agile in arcade, so significant difference between what you see, and what server sees, is more likely.

also what other player said, don't play AB if you want proper damage model

please deliver on usual account

Hmmmm

Even API isn't a guaranteed ignition of fuel tanks

Not
An
Argument

So the HEFI is just there for decoration?

>jet planes burning in war thunder
haha, what is this, 2 years ago?

>Just like sparks this is caused by desynch between client and server
this is right but on the video you can count the hitmarkers around the reticle and i remember gaijin explaining that those appear only when the server actually registers a hit

the r2y2 was hit 2 times at first and 8 times in the short range burst

>heaviest AA cannon in the game
>fragmentation incendiary high explosive ammo
>multiple clear hits on the wings and center fuselage where the giant fuel tank is
>literally able to destroy light tanks with that kind of firepower
>somehow unable to scratch a paper and wood japanese plane with no armor at all

i cant belive there are people defending this

>the r2y2 was hit 2 times at first and 8 times in the short range burst

Arcade. Stop playing it.

as if this doesnt happen in realistic battles too. i remember throwing 4x 57mm HE shells into an il-4 and nothing happened

>Play a shit game
>Surprised when shit doesn't work
activates the old almonds there

Oh aye, show us the replay of that then.

i literally cant. with every update all your replays go into legacy

and that even happened when the big cannons werent as bad as now, this summer iirc

why are russian planes so OP

Favorable meta

They're not the only ones

>changing the picture
>not changing the rest of the stats
pretty lazy desu

hah remember that.
I did some testing back in the day, because of the ufo spits.
and it turned out that the energyretention on the spits and most russian planes was absolutely fucking borked.
they could spiral climb in a tight spiral using max elevator.
not the fastest way to get altitude but fuck me, theres no way thats the way it's supposed to be

It's an old picture

When are we going to get this big old beastie?

>finally install Boris' sound mod
>my ears when
>when that 75 fires
>when dat 88 thunders
>the added oomph to the machine guns
>subwoofer on, rumbling thunder around my desk

Also it feels like a completely different game now despite being exactly the same.

But the psychological effect from these more intense and bass heavy sounds is something else.

This is why I love mods.

pic related, see if you can hear it, turn up your volume if its too quiet

how do i install that shit

Its the simplest fucking shit in the world

Instructions:

Unpack Zip file and copy and paste the "mod" folder into your "sound" folder located in your warthunder Directory

WarThunder/sound/

>playing boreblunder

can I get banned for doing this?

>assault fuse

>Anglo weapons development

Gaijins CTO was the one who proposed and made that method work, in his post to the modder on Mod DB so I dont think so but I dont know

changing sounds has been sanctioned, but you can't use sounds that give an advantage

thants

Leopard 1s BR reduced to 6.7 when?

When the m46 gets 6.0

All German tanks getting a full 1br drop when?

M10 panther when?

Leopard 2a4 at 6.3 when?

not an argument

>you can't use sounds that give an advantage
Which is pretty hard to determine
Having played with someone who uses the sound mod they seem to regularly hear enemy engine noises that I did not using vanilla, and I tend to be pretty good at noticing them.

I don't understand why I get into Team Autism EVERY FUCKING GAME.

>clear cap multiple times
HURR DURR LETS GO THE OTHER WAY AND DIE

>have a victory in sight
HURR DURR LETS INVADE THEIR SPAWN! OH SHIT WE ALL GOT KILLED AND NOW THEYRE CAPPING THE CAP AND WE HAVE NO TANKS LEFT!!!

>get shot right beside teamate
AW HELL NO IM BACKING OFF EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER GUY IS DISABLED AND I CAN EASILY SHOOT AND HELP MY TEAMATE

>get a good BR
OH HI LOOK AT ME!!! I HAVE ONE TANK IN THIS BR AND THE REST LOW TIER

>saving the game on my own
OH LOOK HES SAVING THE GAME! LETS RUIN IT BY KILLING OURSELVES!


How do I escape this autism?

kys wargaming shill

stop playing bore blunder :)

t. The WoTcuck

precisely
I also don't have a clue about how they would figure out if I've turned enemy engine sounds into loud beeping

Effectively none unless they start scanning headers or some shit in the /mod folder and compare it to the first stupid slav to upload to Youtube "WAR THUNDER SOUNDHACK, CONFIRMED DOWNLOAD LINK IN DESC"

>dont play warblunder
>still better than every shitter in this thread

L.O.L!

See and

Why the hell do people play brit tanks solid shot is so fucking bad holy shit

>muh cheiflame
>muh conqueer
>muh fagcon
>muh swingersfire

this thing works like wallhack, but instead of seeing enemies you can clearly hear them

fuck even blind person could kill somebody like this

Would you recommend the Boris sound mod over default?

I love T29.

Post K/D from every match or it didn't happen,

Because APDS and HESH are good enough.

If you understand anything about how engines work or proper sound quality no, but if you want a change of pace and "omg loud is better" then give it a try for awhile.

It tends to break for me after about an hour of play and start muting sounds at random, so I ditched it.

I could upstage these fucks in an afternoon if I cared enough to reverse engineer the clusterfuck that is FMOD. Someone needs to tell the devs to just drop their template files already.
