WAR BLUNDER

Why don't carrier spawn points have the same AAA cover as airfields do? Historically carriers were practically floating AAA platforms.

They're on the same level of braindead as US plane teams, I gave up on those shitters ages ago

Ok, just started playing this game again after about a year and a half or so of being free from the grind.
Did they nerf 50 cals or something? Can't take wings off or start fires without having guns on target for like 3 or more seconds.

also wyvern is FUN

when

>more polikarpov papershit
nah

>reddit's preferred game-mode is Realistic
hmm....

Fuck Brazilian playerbase

When Gaijin said they altered the economy does this mean its easier or harder to get SLs now?

fuck do you think you dumb goy

8+km in the air, 3 of us against one p-51

>dive on someone in my p-38
>they dive to their airfield
how to counter this?

pull back up and just get your alt up

now he has to reclimb

now he's camping his airfield

how to counter

tried side climbing, didn't work

Do you guys like to take the 30mm nose cannon in your 109s or the 20mm?

if he's camping his airfield he's not going to win the game assuming the ticket disparity isn't in his favor

>Play a Russian video game
>The only other players around speak only Portuguese and Chinese

awesome

the fuck is hull break?

20

It's supposed to make very light vehicles less tanky by not letting them meme via overpen.

When you hit a vehicle with enough high explosive that the armor shatters. IRL an IS-2 could blow the UFP of a Panther to bits but I don't think it's modeled quite that far in game.

BORE BLUNDER

THUNDER BLUNDER

SHEKEL PLUNDER

fun thunder c:

I'm gonna show you something way more fun you fucking whore

when?

If you put your client on the work in progress client you get the new tracers

Fuck off Tony, go back to /simg/ and whine about Ivan some more.

Fill in blank.

Tier 5 Ground Forces is ________.

Fucked I now have to fight mini tiger 2 and don't have heat yet for my M48.

Tier 5 Ground Forces is free rp for stock planes because tank shitters cant fly

>tfw HEAT causes hull break
>all the SPAA shitters clubbing the BR2.0 bracket getting BTFO by my Pz.IV's with the shorty 75
I knew my StuG was nasty but now the Panzers are in on the action since at some point in the past they gave them access to the better Type C HEAT.

>bring out Ho-Ro with HE only
>literally hull break everything other than multi turret landships

1.67 when

All now that i expect from this to make it perfect, is a user-input vehicle list and a custom death wreckage, that more of a crushed version of the vehicle

If you play as Russians you fucking deserve it.
>IS-2 frequently matched up against Tiger H1 due to equal BR
>Tiger can JUST penetrate IS-2 with a clean hit
>IS-2 is literally point and click anywhere to obliterate the Tiger
>IS-2 operator complains when he's tiered against KT's because he can't sealclub and actually has to aim his shots

Any other nation and I feel for you, though. If you're even remotely competent the game will shove you into higher BR brackets to fill matches.

I thought hull break was only in effect for very specific light vehicles? I know some BR2.0 German tanks can get effective thicknesses above 50mm but if you can just hull break them instead then the Ho-Ro has gone full YOLO.

Well i can understand his anger. All countries around 1-3 have smaller caliber guns with an equal amount of reload time making it balanced however, with the fact that germany kept the same gun and perfected sloped armor and made the cheeks of the turret so thick(for 2H atleast, the 2P is relatively easier), you would need at least the final shell type (mod1944-230mm pen) to actually kill anything inside from over 500m away, that and due to such high caliber means suffering from reload time(but also means a majority of one hit kills) and germany instead sticks with the low cal88 only really researching advanced ammunition and slight modifications as per the T2P/H stock shells have same/more than a is-2/mod1944 final shell which only gets 207/230mm(pen) with a much higher reload time putting russia at the disadvantage

I recall all tanks being able to hull break, just that SPAA will hull break 100% of the time with certain shell sizes.

Does this confirm jap bias?

Sounds like playing anything American against Germans.

>its just a jap gepard
except no bs T29

>Will get hull broken by everything in its tier
???

T29 is on par with Tiger 2s.

Not the 2P

So the tiger 2h.

Hes a bouncy guy.
The T29

>both have approximately double the penetration power of their actual target's armour
>both actually have to position cleverly and aim their shots for a pen
>KT has faster reload but IS has far, far more HE filler which can cook ammo anywhere in the target
>Germany finally gets in on Gaijin's bounce-happy meme code
>Russian players feel it's unfair when this is the shit Germany has been dealing with since BR2.7
Keep in mind the KT is a full BR higher and yet only has a reload speed advantage over an IS-2.

FUCKING DELETE THIS

plus a actually useful frontal armor, fucking PzIVF2 can pen is-2 ufp
sage

>Nippons get something from 1980s
>its fucking SPAA
>Everybody chimps out and demand t80 abrams etc

Suddenly historical mm is important again for shart in marts and slav(e)s now that they would get an advantage from it

>fucking PzIVF2 can pen is-2 ufp
If he gets the drop on you. Point your hull at him and your UFP has 140-200+ effective thickness and the shell-eating vision block protecting most of the 140 segment. Again, Germans have been dealing with having big, flat UFP's that barely withstand enemy shells since Day 1.

>Drive Churchill Mk VII
>PzIV H pens my 152mm turret face with APHE at 1000m
>PzIV H has at most 136mm of pen at 10m

PzIV H has 177mm APCR.

Churchills seem to have armour modifiers. I can pen black prince 152mm plates with russian 85mm guns as well

Does anyone have the tumblr of the guy who was drawing planefu's?

i found one of his images

...

Yeah and the kill cam, which shows which round was fired, was indeed an APHE round

...

>trusting the kill cam
Someone dump the .webms

Even at 1000m the APCR doesn't have the pen

God damn this isn't what I wanted.

how can we trust that it really was the turret face and not a hit to the roof that you're trying to covre up?

Hey, I suddenly remember why I stopped playing.

kv-2 has big gun.jpg
just search up living vehicles desu

Nigga all I want is the Sgt York or PIVADS or some other SPAA with radar like everyone but claps and honorary claps get.

Just give the M163 some DU APDS ammo and I'll be happy

I just got a 75% off discount for the premium Jagdpanther. I haven't ever really played ground forces very much.

Should I get it?

Jagdpanthers are good, buy it if you want to grind the German tree.

well shit
praise jagdpanther
