This game is fucking trash, and will die the second something comparable from a western dev is released.

first for bote cbt when

How do I fly jets???

Use your mouse and keyboard or maybe a joystick

either Finnish KV-1B or nazi KV-II
honorary mentions: P-51A, SU-100Y, Ki-44-II Otsu

I'm only doing arcade mode right now since I barely have anything, so this probably doesn't matter, but...

How do I figure out what tank ammo types are best for what situations?
Like, the default Britbong ammo seems way the hell more powerful than other nations' defaults, but almost every vehicle has an alternate ammo type and I don't know if they're useful for anything.

Nazibolt and T-34-100 are good, although the latter isn't really what it used to be at 6.7 now that you can use the Type 62.

true, especially if it gives us armored cars

>Like, the default Britbong ammo seems way the hell more powerful than other nations' defaults
Don't worry, it more than makes up for it by having terrible post-penetration damage due to Britbongs not caring for explosive filler.

Nihon 109

>implying there are any western devs with the experience to make a game of this scale

Top kek, they are too busy sucking SJW cock, most sims are European for a reason.

Even if a western dev were to make a game like this and it was actually good (I'm looking at you Armored Warfare) it would take them years to catch up to WT.

Sim games aren't profitable enough to bother developing because they don't pander to ADD-addled retards and consolekids.

Planes or Tanks?

How is it even fucking possible to make any money on tank RB/SB without premium?

I just drained myself off 300k lions by playing a week of SB.

>Europe
>not western
Yeah, build that wall and keep the cultural marxism in your own country, the rest of the world will thank you.

tonks

For jap tier 4, what's the best to start with?
ST-A or M41A1?

Look at the ammunition name and its image.

APHE, a thing punching through thick armor with a boom on the head, is generally the best ammo if it pens, since it explodes inside and gibs all the crew.

Pure AP, without the boom thingy and without a filler/TNT stat, just punches through and does damage in its direct path cause fuck spalling. Same for APDS to some degree.

HEAT has constant pen. However, don't bother with it unless you have a short barrel, since your AP is more effective. Exception is for HEAT-FS with ridiculous pen.

HE is just that, HE.

Use APHE for general flanking/front pen shots, APCR and APDS for though to pen tanks, HEAT for short barrels and HE for SPAA/lightly armored targets. Pure AP is kind of broken and useless.

in terms of raw damage it goes like this basically:

HEATFS >>> APHE (and it's variants) > HESH (when it works) > APDSFS > Solid AP >>> APCR

>Your premium account has expired. Would you like to buy a new one?

>Shoot Type 74 side with 300mm HEAT-FS
>Ricochet )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
>die

have you ever used HEAT-FS, or are you just building your opinions based on le (c)HEAT-FS?

solid AP is not that undermodeled tbqh.

in war thunder, tank crews fight to the last man, irl a single penetrating shot regardless of the caliber of the shell would make the surviving crew members bail out.

IS BEAST INSIDE YUO KOMRAD ))))))))))))

Still, that 76x100mm piece of metal your AP pushed away would very probably end up in the tank and cause tons of spalling.

>implying HEATFS is not a fire and forget nuke

>HEAT-FS is not APCR tungsten boogaloo II

is of soviet nayv light cruiser )))

is sovyit sub hunter )))))))

Umm honey, you have to ask nicer than that.

suck my dick faggot literally who

t. newfag who has been here only after all the namedropping has stopped because all of those people left

What's your guys take on the skills in the game? Is it a cool little way to give yourself a boost up, or does it just create further imbalance in matchmaking (what with the already shitty BR system).

Or do you find that the skills don't matter all that much.

lmfao @ vegeta and his band of newfags calling others newfags
kys faggot

You're supposed to use the @, but I'll forgive that one because you're new.

>Internet disconnects for a minute

What the fuck happened to the reconnect mechanic they implemented? What's the point in even having it if I can't fucking reconnect?

is still under consctruction ((((

bote cbt when

Possibly weekend, says insider source.

Why do I have so much more fun and do much better playing the Tiger 1 than the Leopard?

Do people still play planes?
I quit 2 years ago and I want to know if BRs are still fucked?
Are jets fun again?

Tier V becomes homogenized garbage.

Because APHE and the only ATGM you might have to deal with is MCLOS garbage

Am I crazy, or are the lower levels absolutely stuffed with bots?

>Do people still play planes?
yes
>I quit 2 years ago and I want to know if BRs are still fucked?
yes, planes can face planes they have absolutely no advantages over (usually fucking spitshitters)
>Are jets fun again?
only custom battles

Tiger I clubs, Leopard doesn't

...

what is that

Fug, have they at the very least unfucked some flight models? Or are the same things that were busted two years ago still broken?

im bored to hell from grinding the nips up to tier IV, i don't quite like american tanks, and birtbongs look like suffering, should i play the slavs? (got bored of kraut easy mode, that's why i didn't include them)

yes
yes
yes

>try to flank on the abortion that is Fields of Normandy
>return to battle)))))))
>exploded
just fucking kill me

the FMs have gotten considerably better, UFOs are a thing of the past for the most part

Remember when occasionally a dead tank would keep rolling

>a tank is "dead" therefore inertia doesn't exist
>UFOs are a thing of the past
>shitfires
>shindens

>for the most part

>he still believes the shinden is good

seriously it sucks, specially when stock

>snorethunder

So let me get this straight.

If you don't have either the Hunter, Mig17, CL13, or any of the Sabres, then don't even bother playing jets?

if you don't have the mig-17, don't play jets

Don't play jets point. Play what tier you enjoy most.

God, what a game

How many eagles to convert 380,000rp

1 eagle = 45 RP

...

How's the Vampire now that it's 7.3? Literally only bong plane that interests me.

>not the Hunter
lmao

Why would it? If I'd want to club I'd play literally any spitfire.

I feel like jet players tend to have incredibly inflated egos.

In props, I only remember reading like 5-6 PMs. In jets you get a torrential flood.

Why are tank destroyers so based?

Jet players are niggers
