obligatory bote cbt and world war mode when

Do you use it with gunpods? Or do the better MGs lessen the need for them?

jewsherman when

I know no one gives a shit about boats but:

>4th testing session
>The event will be held in Realistic mode (no weapon reload)
>waves are now lower

holy shit, not only did this make long range combat possible but it also increased FPS across the board.

Gaijin embrace the paper. It would be fun

forgot pic

Just getting back into this, are the jap tanks good? What's the current tank meta?

WHEN?

what are the chances of gaijin doing a sale within the next 3 months?

slim ))))

>tfw giving enemy ships your dual 88mm broadside

this is fun

CRUISERS WHEN

this guy was 1.5km away from me btw

how are ships? is it just tug simulator?

-The vehicle selection is very limited atm (PT Boats, Sub Chasers, Gun Boats, Mine Layers and other small vessels)
-Bigger ships may come later but this is gaijin we're talking about
-The Damage Model is good (same as tanks but on a bigger scale, flooding mechanics are in but I don't think they're working properly right now)
-2 of the 3 maps we have seen so far are arcade trash
-The bigger boats (MZ-1 and Project 122) are very fun to play because you can actually engage targets at long range
-The physics are finicky but visually the water looks great

I'll give boats a 5/10, 10/10 if gaijin makes proper ships in proper maps

also no japan

they were in the first test

what boats

aesthetic

Jap tanks are trash until you unlock the STB and Type 74
Leopard I

>being this bad

>What's the current tank meta?

IT-1 & ZSU-57 wombo combo >>>>> everything else

He's right though. Jap tanks are trash and I wish they would stop shitting up the axis teams.

>whaa whaa i don't autowin in my king tiger as much ABLOO BLOO

...

So what you're saying is that they are true to life?

br could always be lowered

Pretty much. They might as well add the italian shitboxes now.

They would be equally as useful.

Don't worry I can still carry but jap tanks basically contribute 0% to the team.

most jap tanks are only as shit as the person driving them

axis teams get shittied up even without japs because of how many subhuman shitlords play germany

>jap tanks basically contribute 0% to the team.

Is this an admission that German tanks are overpowered?

Would be better to add Italian horse cavalry, which arguably contributed more positive to the Axis than Italian tanks did.

German tanks being better than all others is 100% historically accurate.

Bullshit. A potato driving a german tank might pull off a kill while a potato driving a jap tank is just a free kill for the allies.

No jap tanks are just underpowered and overtiered.

Who would win?

>WT
>historically accurate

tovarish ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

>boreblunder

Kys!

>Hokkaido

Britain wins every time

>living

Kys!

That Mexican squad carried the team?

Is the T-35 good or fun??

Huge target with shit armor

>deathmatch rewards already nerfed

Buy GE )))))))))))))

but is it fun shitting on all the low tier shitters with it?

Yeah they did. Yesterday it was like 5k RP for killing ~7 tanks in arcade, today its 1.5 for the same amount in SB, I call bullshit.

You won't do any shitting but get shat on driving that thing.

>deleted

what

Game improved))

Does YG508 for furrybros when?

German tanks being broken down piles of scrap metal with bad optics for their gunners is 100% historically accurate.

>broken down piles of scrap metal with bad optics for their gunners is 100% historically accurate.
>Still have to face post-war tanks of other nations
>Still win

Damn...

>mfw allied players unironically need post war tanks to even compete against rushed out under budget WW2 German tanks

AHHAHAHAHAHA LITERALLY CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

none of the German tanks postwar allied tanks fight are even real. The Panthers and Tigers are absurdly buffed compared to their IRL counterparts.

>they're n-n-n-n-not real guys
>t-t-t-t-they're BUFFFFFFED

>Panthers not being on fire is historical

>MOOOOOOOOOM GET ME THE HEATFS
>THOSE DAMN KRAUT WW2 TANKS ARE WINNING AGAIN!

>posted as I penetrate every American tank frontally with my machine-gun while outweighing them over 8 times over

>german outweighing amerifat
something seems off here

Jap tanks are objectively the worst, but there's no excuse for doing bad in them.

American tanks are objectively the worst, but there's no excuse for doing bad in them.

The krauts are the ones that made and fielded 60+ ton tanks, burgers biggest fielded was the m26 at about 45 tons.

crew gets in and m26 is now 90 tons )))

They have actually decent mobility and turret traverse. The claps shit the bed totally in tier 4 with their 90mms, something the japs share.

But all crews are the same in WT except IJA they are a bit smaller I think.

Average nipp was 166 +/- 1cm back in ww2

thats why they had problem copying certain guns or something like that

Thats 5 foot 4 for anyone who wishes to skip the math.

>playing bore blunder
HOLY SHIT KYS!!!!!!!!!!

@167482972
stop playing it then... god damn autistic fuck

>Wellington's guns still trash
>Crews STILL CANT CHANGE POSITION TO THE MOST IMPORTANT GUNNER
>still cant use front gunner as offensive weapon

>Assblasted allies know they'll never get a 26:1 Loss Ratio in a span of 8 monthes.

LOL

Japanese assumed their tanks should not have gun of caliber above 90 mm, because of strenght of loader.
Similarly their Type-64 rifles, fired special reduced load 7.62 mm, because full-power NATO round produced to much recoil for their soldiers to take. It came with switch allowing them use real NATO rounds, in case they had to use American ammo, or from delinked machinegun belts.

>rushed out and under budget
>german tanks

are you retard?

> have Tigers, King Tigers, Panthers, Jagdpanthers, Nashorns
> have advanatge of being one in defense
> Allies throw Shermans and Cromwells aganist you
> still take heavier loses than Allies did

No wonder why this tank doesnt have any mobility, its driveshaft isnt connected to gearbox

page 10

>is4 armor bugged
>can reliably bounce off 400mm heatfs and 105mm hesh from the front armor
>side of turret that is 200mm is literally unpenetrable for 300mm sabot

no russian bias :D

Any word on what a decent jet for the German tree would be, figured I'm already close, may as well try to grind one.

I heard the Salamander was shit, but the idea of the Komet for some reason is funny enough to me to warrant autistic grinding. Any personal preferences?

>Komet
you'll be constantly dropped aganist planes that can match your speed, and lack any significant disadvantage. Get used to attacked people to be simply flying away for 3 or so minutes it will take for you to run out of fuel.

GODDAMNIT WHY DOES SLOPING SEEM SO FUCKING USELESS AGAINST PEOPLE

>Chaffee has amazing rounding and sloping, people are shooting me in the most heavily armored parts of the fucking thing and just popping it like a zit.

FUCK

me 262 u4 for fun
Ho 229 to win turnfights and wreck tanks
arado 234 C3 is heavy fighter with airspawn, constantly wreck props

in a recent update that rendered most sloping useless, bar the germans in their Tiger II shitter mobiles

>tiger 2 is OP
lol

weak armor no longer works even if very angled.

I still see T-34's trying to rush my StuG, because they think their glacis can bounce KwK 40, only to get oneshotted by me. It's fun, really.

How the fuck are you supposed to play this? I get raped by airplanes ALL THE TIME and thanks to that I can barely research modules.. The thing sucks up every piece of shrapnel from any bomb

Thanks for the advice gents, I'll probably research the Ho then, I do like how sleek it looks

>AA
>shooting at air
nani?

It's people like you who gets SPAAs a bad reputation

Yeah it's the players, not the retarded developers.

Great.

>ywn fist fight a dumb naziboo in the street and smash his face into the asphalt

google krokodil effect videos

better google ' weapon that used to kill gorilla '

that's because you're weak and stupid

COINCIDENCE
AND FUCK THE CHI-NU/CHEETO, FUCK THEM TO HELL.

>having trouble with literal ricepaper tanks with shit mobility

Their armor magically bounces half my shots it feels like, I don't understand how they get as many bounces as they do

Are people in 1.0-5.0 literally autists? I feel like they're completely retarded.

>in my soviet setup
>actually know how to angle apart from these mongos
>every single game someone fails to kill me despite setting me on fire, drving up and shooting me from the side, miss their 75's during the entire time I wait for a new crew member and then I just put a shell into their ammo rack while I can barely move and they're drving in circles around me
I just can't find words... It happened 3 times the last 24 hours. I get why naziboos scream "RUSSIAN BIAS!!!!"

Jesus fuck, I should make a compilation of these situations. Would get 1 hour of material in less than a fucking week
