>Type 62 HEAT-FS when?
Until we get it

reminder that the new thread is here

Your Edition is shit.

>IS-7 isn't available from some tedious as hell tournament which you only have a chance to win, but something ezpz like WWII chronicles
would be based af

I'm joining this thread

Its going to be a premium.

what the fuck even is the purpose of flak
it's generally useless unless you're german and just gives you crew lock

yes, and?
what does that have to do with what I said, basically everything given out that way is premium excluding what we just got because gaijin is a bunch of retards who thinks our hard work isn't worth it anymore or something

russia is so biased)))))))))))))))))))
germany is so terrible))))))))))))))))

No, they said IF they bring it to the game, THEN it will be an event/promotion tank

4chinz ate my pic

Thats pretty gay, Russians are somewhat lacking at the top tier at the minute.

>no SP
>leave
>crew lock))))))))))))))))))
are you baiting?
I'm a slavaboo and I know that russia has the widest selection of T5s
now only a few may be actually good, but that's besides the point, I doubt the IS-7 would be that good considering it's guaranteed to be 8.0

>Type 62 is the highest vehicle in my lineup
>max uptier
>max uptier
>max uptier
>max uptier
>max uptier
just fucking give it HEAT-FS and make it 6.7 already

>now only a few may be actually good, but that's besides the point,

No, its really not beside the point. Whats the use in having a wide array of shit you dont want to play?

>engine overheats at 97% but not 96
>can't land the throttle at exactly 96% with shift/ctrl

So do 95% ya big sperg....or adjust your mixture.

>P-61 is better than the mosquito in literally every way
>0.7 BR lower
really makes you think

>play slavs against nazis

hmmmmmmmm

>playing Type 62
>facing nothing but Tiger II Hs or M18s
GIVE ME MY CHEAT-FS ALREADY YOU PIECES OF HUMAN GARBAGE

Bit of a small sample size man.

want to play type 62 with me
we can suffer together

>teeb
Heh, got one

no because I'm chatbanned and not going on the Veeky Forums chat

fug sorry to hear that
why you chatbanned?

decrease the sensitivity you dum dum

when

The fuck does it need Heat-FS for? Its a decent wee tank the way it is, I really like it. Why fuck it up and uptier iot to 6.7?

>not wanting to swim in naziboo tears after you punch through their UFP from any range
Are you fucking gay? It'll play exactly the same as in 5.7: flank and click on their sides until you get to MEME-FS.

My only problem with the Type-62 so far is going 2fast2furious and ending up getting a bit stuck, pic related.

because the mods are powerhungry faggots
>why give a tank it's historical ammo
>why uptier it to a better tier
spotted the nazishart who doesn't want a light tank punching through his tiger II with impunity

That second plane has serious forward visibility problems.

...

Will the Type 62 be the new FOTM vehicle for tanks? I can see how people are goign to spam the shit out of the HEAT its going to get and just steamroll Germans. What will happen?

Gee, it sure is boring around here...

Is this lazy bastard in the back lying down on his job?

Look at him! He can barely even keep his eyes open!

LAZY.

He is sleepy

Did they fucking nerf 50s again? Can't kill shit with them now, nothing but "hit"

>You have to unlock the bomb loadout for the new Bomber-262

...really?

>never

It's fun trying to grind the T-44 with the stock 85mm round when your team goes Full Retard Kamikaze 80% of the time... feels like BR 6.3 is currently full of mindless bots and Type-62 spammers who just rush to their deaths after capping the first obective.

Unlucky pilto

whats the fastest way to grind tanks wtg?

Playing arcade-mode and trying to cap as many objectives as possible... or if you can't stand arcade then play realistic and just try to survive and try to get some kills, also cap when possible.

;_;

BOTE CBT FUCKING WHEN OMG

quality matchmaker ))))
fun event )))))

>arkaden

>tfw want some yummy cummies in my tummy

>20min RB event queue )))))))

>bouncing off the side of a Tiger II (P) with the M3 gun

Not only that, but it's missing its 500kg bomb loadout as well.

It's best at getting downtiered and making the griffon spits take a short pause from their clubbing to screech "REEEEEEEEEE, A JET!!!!!!" before continuing to murder everything.

>leopard shitter sperging about how the russians always win
>german teams always try to snipe instead of taking and holding ground

wwhean

>J7W1 released, can't turn at all, but fast

a few patches later:

>J7W1 turning improved

last patch:

>J7W1 turning improved even more, can pull 11Gs, even faster

When will it end?

>Boats pre order
>I don't particularly care about boats but these are probably going to be rare some day
>Buy pt boat
>Event happens
>I don't really care about these but they may be rare someday
>grind it

I'm playing this game solely on the hope that i can brag about having a collection of pixels a few years down the line

someone end me

>this chick
oh fuck... plz no

jet games are so friendly. Teammate and adversary alike are just havin' fun. Grinding the event was worth this.

Hi, I'm kinda late for this but is there anything I can still get from the holiday event?

>join event hurtgen forest
>think this event will help spadeTE and PA
>meanwhile on the american side
>P-47s for days

cosmetics or booster, or buy boxes for ge.

Don wanna add big botes too hard))))))

dead general, dead game

>warblunder

!SYK

>germans just keep dying over and over in the tank event until they can unlock jagdpanters and tiger iis

shitposting when war thunder has least players online and when wtg also has least users

really makes you think

F4U-4C fucking when?

>implying this isn't the average amount of players online at any given time.

this game used to have an average of 50,000 users online at all times. Now it dips below 20k at night and is falling.

what would happen if you shot mk 103 minengeschoss at a tree

There's nothing more shameless than making repair and fire extinguisher an unlock.

They are intentionally making the game less fun just so you have to grind the tank a little longer

it would spark

since when did g-loc prevent you from being able to fire? this was never an issue before...

Man

I don't see how anyone can say Nazis (at least in the mid tiers) aren't easy mode

its not even a matter of point and click guns that penetrate anything and armor that enemies basically cant frontally pen, its a matter of having rounds that do fucking damage

I lost count of the times my hellcat blasted the side of a panther or tiger only to take a crew member or so

But then i play panther and shit just explodes if i look at it.

not to mention the late tier Germans
how the fuck can the leopard 1a1 have a quicker reload than the m60a1

also Hot 1 and no tow atgms
and the gepards fake full apds belt but the zsu 57 lost the hvap belt it had irl

8.0 lineup
best MBT -Leopard A1A1
best ATGM -RakJPz 2 HOT
best AA -FlakPz 1 Gepard

Bonus superheavy E100/maus
Bonus fighter bomber AR234c3
Bonus cannon jet ho229
Bonus fighters mig and canadair

ehh, the HOT is definitely good but nothing beats that broken as fuck IT-1

>He doesn't one shot Tigers and Panthers with APHE in the 76

>best ATGM -RakJPz 2 HOT

IT1 is a MBT and the leopard 1 is better

Is there a list of tank accessories?

I just got the skis and wanna know what else there is

>IT-1 is a MBT
lmao

I think there are 3
i have done all 22/24 events so far and haven't received any

I just get orange ammo racks

No mate top tier is all about who loads fast and who is more mobile all the soviet tanks at T5 (exept IT1) build around the ideolagy of ww2 be heavy and have a big aphe while being small as possible. But all nato tanks were build around the 65 75 cold war idea be mobile have decent armour and fire fast as you can. Only thing that fits that war style and soviet is T-64. All the T-54s are useless T-10ms long reload makes it useless T-62 is a medium with T10ms mobility and reload. There is nothing in this game that can be soviet T5 and competative agaisnt Leopards Chieftains M60s. Though why M60s get slower reload than Leopards I don't understand.

>IT-1 is an MBT
that would be the T-62
IT-1 is an ATGM vehicle and it's the best

where the fuck am i even supposed to shoot a T-34-85? everywhere i shoot fucking bounces or damages an optic

>Though why M60s get slower reload than Leopards I don't understand
>he's not aware of bundeswehr bias
what are you shooting it with, dipshit

prove me wrong then

lmao is not a reason, it is in fact a non argument

fact = Its an mbt with an atgm

it's an MBT with an ATGM, therefore it's an ATGM launcher
only things with ATGMs that can be considered not ATGM vehicles are those with barrels, like the M551

It gets a Medium Tank spawn points while HOT gets SPG. Also IT-1 can't control is rocket in 300m so it just fires like a very inaccurate cannon. It has the mobility of T-62 which is abysmal in T5 while HOT is like a Lada Niva ofroad going to places in map you didn't know existed firing behind hills that he hid behing in 44/mph

i think you missunderstand my argument

i meant to say tank destroyer instead of atgm
for example, hot 2 = td
it 1 =mbt

they're both TDs you dunce
IT-1 actually has better mobility than the T-62 because))))))))))))))))))

m551 is an interesting one, is it a light or a TD? i feel it has too much firepower to be a light, more of a td like hellcat

no it 1 is an mbt
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_battle_tank
it has armour, average speed and firepower

M551 can fire something other than ATGMs, it's an LT
anything that can fire nothing but ATGMs is a TD

by that logic Hellcat and Slugger are tanks

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_tank
an mbt that fires atgms
yes?

It's 3 tons lighter providing more hp/t. that's the empty weight with ammo load it would be lighter aswell

>yes?
They are not you fucking idiot, they are tank destroyers. Shows how much you know about tanks in general.

? they are tanks. WITH the role of tank destroyer

How the fuck do I earn RP for bombers?

I play arcade and besides those tightly packed conveys on that one map I pretty much get one ground kill for each bomb, which means about 6 kills per minute. Meanwhile I can get like 20 a minute on a piece of shit reserve fighter with literally nothing but 7.62 guns and I can even kill people that fuck with me.

In realistic I perfectly bomb the shit out of the enemy base and then get killed, which takes like 10 minutes with queues and flying, and gets me a whopping 90 RP.

What am I doing wrong?
