Is the Bf 109 G2/trop a good plane to talisman or should I just spend my GE on premium

>reliability is a factor now

not the greatest, being a tier III plane. I haven't tried them yet, but the Doras should be really good with their new BR.

if you plan on using it in GF, so BR matters, then I guess so.
if you fly air battles, put talisman on F-4 instead

We need more boteplanes.

And that was a shitty idea

The German called the plane "flying lighter" because it could catch fire suddenly, randomly in flight

fuck off spitnigger

might be interesting

I am new to Tigers and just had my first proper game. Sinai. This is completely different than with the F2. I got hit once from the side and it only damaged, not even destroyed, my track.
Then I got strafed by a plane.
Apart from that, nothing happened at all. I shot some dudes in Shermans and T-34s. It was really nice.

>it's a 4 man squad of spitfires episode

Is it worth getting the USSR Fw 190 D-9 ? is it still as good as people say it was?

france T2 AA tank?

>playing the stalingrad event as russians

>tfw don't want to spend crew points on my German tank crew because it wouldn't be level 88 anymore

P108 is better desu

speedy weedy tanky wanky when?

what am I in for?

best tank in the game

>not the IT-1
kys slav(e)boo

That is not the Mitsubishi Type 74 MBT of the proud JGSDF.

>tfw I thought I was in /wotg/

Having not received one for likely a year, won two Talismans today from battle trophies.
One for the SB2C-1c, and the other for the reserve T-26.

Speaking of talismans, does anybody know how their assignment works? Can you get a talisman for ANY vehicle you own or only for currently crewed ones?

I miss that guy that quoted Ghandi.

I miss Grandscenarios

change nation, play low tiers and they'll just start coming

ok turbo

>get motivation to play wt
>grind out stb1 and type 74
>grind out it1, t10m, t62 and zsu57

had fun 30 days but i guess its time to quit again till they add jap atgm/aa

>add jap atgm
>85 m/s

sounds fun. fucking panther in reverse gear can outrun it

As far as I can tell you only get them on vehicles you own in the same nation + tier as the vehicle you were playing.

>playing bore blunder
kys!

>bore blunder
This is War Thunder, idiot!

>chorethunder

>tfw no one plays event

It even gives +23% RP

They actually did some work on wonky air RB DMs. Really surprises me desu.

I'm queueing for a match right now, gonna fly around in my stuka with the fuckhuge 1,000 kg bomb strapped to the belly.

Are there any kraut planes that get rockets like the HVAR?

i think one of the early bf109 fs get it

Unlike the Allies, the Germans were really not keen on using wing mounted rockets. It's still a pretty cool idea to see Stukas with rockets for example.

So they're limited to pretty much three planes with rockets:
- The Bf 109F with eight air-to-air rockets, weak against ground
- Fw 190s with two 21 cm nuke rockets
- Fw 190F with 14 air-to-ground Panzerblitz rockets

Me-262 a2a with panzerblitz rockets

>the Germans were really not keen on using wing mounted rockets
Let me guess, that Goering retard had something to do with that too.

Rockets are pretty shit IRL in terms of accuracy.

Still better than bombs though as long as the sighting system is the same, no?

>BT-7_driver_rushing_along_map_edge.webm

Bombs do more damage.

But aren't rockets overall much more effective anti ship/anti tank weapon given that 1) even with divebombing you can expect less than 30 meters of accuracy (with some much more accurate outliers) while rockets are way more accurate than that and 2) with the weight needed for causing a 30 meters wide blast you can carry a shitton of rockets instead?

>a trial conducted by the RAF under best possible conditions revealed the low precision of unguided rockets: In two attack runs, four typhoons fired all of their 64 rockets on a stationary, pre-painted Panther and only three managed to hit the marked tank.

>tfw flying only at high speed
>can only achieve head on passes against very maneuverable fighters

good game gaijin

Why not the R4MP that was somehow used without success with a Me 262 A1. Prestage of the R4M with leaded to the Panzerblitz 2 and 3 for the Fw190 F8/9

Why does this game give you such big maps if there's no point in using them? Why does RB has to be forced into a brawl inside a small city maze?

Nope, significantly worse. Bombs follow a predictable ballistic trajectory with minimal variation. Strapping thrust behind your warhead magnifies any disturbances in trajectory and completely ruins any kind of acceptable grouping. German dive bombers were pretty good at slam dunking RDX through a turret cupola so they never felt much of any urge to vary things.

The Fw190 V69 W.Nr. 582072 was used to test RZ 65 rockets that were mounted to the outer wings. It damaged the plane heavliy will firing tests on the ground.
Also a special AT version of the RZ 65 were developed but abandoned in favor for the R4MP. The RZ65 AT version was even successful tested with a Fw190 A3/U2 against russian armor in 1941. Other planes were tested with the RZ 65 Föhn.

>start playing again after almost a year
>decide to grind out some of those sweet new heavy fighters
So they still haven't fixed the OHKO Japan FMs after all this time?

>Queue for half an hour just to get blitzed

Great event gaijin you fucking faggots

Give me the down low on the STB-1 and Type 74. Worth grinding through the STA series?

why is the Panzerwerfer even premium?

To trick dumb goyim into buying a shit vehicle just because muh rockets

Because Germans have to pay for rockets.

But pretty much all American fighters have better energy retention, and your roll rate is marginally better than theirs. UK planes have better climb rates, so good luck getting height on them unless they dive early because they are completely retarded, and they are so maneuverable that you will constantly be burning energy before you can even get a good aim on them.

How can ANYONE say that spitfires aren't OP? Even the people who main them admit they are OP as hell.

>HUR DUR, SPITFIRES HAVE CARBURETOR PROBLEM, CANNOT DO NEGATIVE G MANEUVER, THEY ARE SO WEAK BECAUSE OF THAT
>t. Spitnigger
>mfw nobody who uses spitfires is retarded enough to pull negative G maneuvers

You outroll them and if they're smart enough not to do negative Gs, then you're going to be able to outroll and outrun them and then do your climbing meme to abuse the meta.

le should le have le won le war

>ANOTHER air rb map

it's been a rough day. I meant AB.

shows how little I think of arcade as a game mode though.

Did Gaijin remove Pacific Hidden Base from the map rotation? That map was bomb as fuck.

Roll rate means nothing when they just snipe you from over 800m away.

>getting sniped by wing mounted weapons using your hard to use everything in the nose faction

Yeah, weird isn't it.

>arcade

I don't pretend to be good enough for RB.

>Spits
>Carbarator problem
are you aware that its fixed from the Mk V or so onward?

Yeah, but people still seem to reference it whenever you ask how to beat them.

then call them out for the worthless retarded sacks of shit they are

>speed

this is a shit meme

I love how they changed it to this from the retarded "You land at all and it's a soft crash"

By your logic jets are inferior to props because those are the only advantages they have.

Maybe not superior but a Zero/Spitfire can stalemate a jet in a 1v1 if he keeps dodging.
