Today, Kekistan has been displaced and oppressed into the small corner of the internet known as Veeky Forums, and the Kekistani people continue to fight for their freedom. This particular tank saw little combat and is now on display in the Normistani Memorial Museum.

Is the La-11 worth it? It looks dope but does it really have a place at its tier?

I would like to know why I was previously able to load a custom hanger file just fine in the game and now suddenly the config.blk resets and removes the line that adds the same hanger to the game everytime I launch the game, and setting the file to read only does not help either.

What the fuck is this shit gaijin

fuck me I forgot to close the quote in the line you have to add to the file I feel so fucking stupid.

I'm excited for the A-26. I'm sure 14 50 cals is still garbage, but it's my kind of garbage

last PB&J has 12 .50s

Both Hangar are compatible, just put // in front of the line in the config.blk disable the hangar. You can switch easily between hangars. For exemple :

hangarBlk:t="jungle_hangar_petra_2-0.blk"
//hangarBlk:t="sahara.blk"
//hangarBlk:t="hangartool2_petra.blk"

This is neat

>missions/_air_PvE [Air Assault]

IDS HABBENING :DDDDDD

I think it's gonna be kinda useful in tank rb, rocket accuracy received a huge buff and that new a-26 has 14 or 16 hvar's.
In air RB, not so much. Only defense of an a-26 is speed and that's it.

Hey /wtg/, what's the best plane for a gaymer like me?

Why do they have a ballistic missile carrier in the corner?

keep your pedo autism to your containment board, weeb

Why not?

There is a fucking difference between friendly tank competition and absolute autism that is bringing a ballistic missile to a "tank competition"

I don't run the Sensha-do League so I wouldn't know

no

no

Any else loves play with the decals?

Also:
Why my team mates shoot me when I play wearing this star of David?

Years ago I would say yes but the greedy devs have increased the grind for vehicles that even with premium its a complete fucking grindfest you'll feel like youre playing more to unlock the next toy than for genuine fun and enjoyment mostly

...

if by play you mean make them as lewd as possible

Actually a water guard similar to the T-54\55

What if I don't want to play with jets, and just WW2 classics like Spitfires, BF-109s, FW-190s, Thunderbolts, and Mustangs.

Is the grind still ass?

Spitfires are noob planes and everyone here will laugh at you for flying them.

The grind for 109s depend on the 109 model you're interested but in general no, the grind isn't bad. Fw-190s are garbage except maybe 2 or 3 models, one of which has a long grind, T-bolt has a shortish grind and is about as fun as playing as the Shitmericans can be, mustang grind is a bit longer and the plane isn't that good.

What does everyone here fly?

Slightly less, I got up to all those in good time

Grinding for jets now though, from tier IV and up is a pain in the fucking ass

Tier 3 is the limit for any sane man for grinding, but we are long past sanity.

...

fw 190 A-4, bf 109G-2, F6F and p-51d-20 right now

some other planes too, i dont really stick to a specific one

Planes I like: Bf-109 F-4, Bf-109 G-6, Fw-190 A-4 Fw-190 D-9, any of the Zero models, pretty much every Russian plane, especially the I-16 and it's variants and the La-5 and it's variants, F6F-5, F4U, and the P-47. Be careful playing as the Americans though, the planes you get matched against will rape your ass because American planes don't fit into the War Thunder metagame at all, and most people who play as the Americans are functionally retarded as well.

>War Thunder metagame
What's that? And why are burgerplanes bad at it?

Fast climbing interceptors that can either go fast or compensate with agility. American planes climb like ass and want to be higher than standerd wt engagements

How a plane can perform in in a 30 km arena is why. American planes are endurance high flyers but they have slower altitude gain than most equivalent planes

>What's that?
Climbing to 6-7,000m at the highest and then dog fight and boom and zoom from there.

>And why are burgerplanes bad at it?
Their performance isn't that hot until you get up to really high altitude, like pushing 10,000m or even higher. A 109 will outrun your P-47 no problem at 7 or 8 or probably even 9 km up.

Also a contributing factor is, like I mentioned earlier, American players are fucking retarded and you will frequently see players loading up their Hellcats and P-47s with thousands of pounds of bombs and do groundstrikes before getting jumped by a swarm of 109s and promptly die. Many times I've seen my whole team die as the Americans in under 10 minutes while I'm still on my way up to 7 or 8 thousand meters in my P-47.

Do you mean ft?

slav hampden, I-301, IL-10M, and Yak-30
I mostly just drive tanks

I don't know, they look like faggots, dude

No, I meant meters.

Climb rate and turn rate.
In tanks it's mobility and having a good gun.
Both because maps are too small or urban knifefight dogshit.

lol

I'm the only one who loves playing with this one?

SPAAGs seem pretty damn good at shooting down aircraft

Like I question how effective these things would have been in real life, but things like the Wirblewind seem to just annihilate everything in the air, which is the point of the vehicle, but were they really that great in reality?

It's fun when you singlehandedly hold a flank or blind corner with it, but it is very situational and not flexible, which is a good spot for it but can be frustrating if your team rolls, and that is common in its tier

yes they should put in on a tank lol

When rarely a plane would be low enough for the 20s to hit it. Quad 20s were mostly used for supporting ground units and I think that's what Wirbelwinds did the most.

Their effectiveness is hard to measure, they have a far greater psychological effect than any real damaging one, if their presence made planes abandon bombing runs or even drop prematurely they did their job.
The wirblewind was criticized for its short effective range though

but how did the SPAA crews earn their fire extinguishers and better ammo if they didnt get any kills and just scared the enemy planes away?

What do you think WT does well?

Where can the game improve?

Why should the a person that has never player WT pick it over similar titles?

Looks good, has a ton of vehicles

Could be less jewish, could stop making tank maps shittier and shittier, BR needs to have less compression

It's free

>What do you think WT does well?
Graphics, lots of vehicles, it's free, and if you just want to play early war stuff the game is great with nonexistent grind.

>Where can the game improve?
RB air game modes are all retarded, it's all deathmatch and bombers/attackers, outside of the occasional game, could might as well not exist.

RB ground is just balance issues out of the wazoo.

Personally I think RB all modes would be improved if it was mixed all the time.

Arcade is fine tho.

Modification grind is fucking awful. I could tolerate the grind to unlock new vehicles, but mod unlocks are fucking dumb.

>Why should the a person that has never player WT pick it over similar titles?

There really isn't any similar titles. I'd prefer punching myself in my kidneys over playing WoT, and there isn't a WW2 mmo flight game out there.

I play it because there isn't any competition.

>Modification grind is fucking awful. I could tolerate the grind to unlock new vehicles, but mod unlocks are fucking dumb.

This.

Vehicle grinds would be much more satisfying without the mod grind.

>Where can the game improve?

Change crew clothes according to the map:
>Map with snow= clothes to winter
>Map at North Africa= crew without wearing only shorts and sweting like pigs. Something like this webm:

It's very well made and honestly a great free to play with a lot of content. Problems are balance issues, grinding for parts and fire extinguishers to be competitive, and the map designers need to be dragged out of their homes and sold into slavery

Played a few games of AB air and got shit on relentlessly

Switched to arcade tanks and took dumps on the opponents in PzIII going 30+mph drifting around corners and landing potshots all over

Multi track drifting.jpeg

Why does every fucking second thread have shitposting even in the OP?

my personal favorite kill was drifting in the StuG III at 40 mph around a KV-2 and punching it in the back of it's slavic fish barrel. Low tier tanks are some of the funnest matches in arcade

tfw enemy team dies too fast and you cant get any kills

Why don't you just fucking play IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 or Cliffs of Dover or Birds of Prey then? Or Blazing Angels if your IQ is in the double digits?

>capping the point
>1 second before match ends
>last guy in their team pops from a bush on the other side of the map and kills me so i don't get that extra rp

>side climbing: the post

>side climbing when spitfires exist
no point when they can just point their plane up and reach you without losing any energy

Does anyone know the difference between the A6M3 mod. 22 and the A6M3 mod. 22Ko? Their stat cards, not that that means anything, are identical, but they have different BRs.

More like low tier Japs: the post.

the latter Ko's better

Neither WoT not WT are MMOs.

post trax to listen to while doing crazy messer smitt type shit in planes
youtube.com/watch?v=V0XEmQ6ZWG8

Mod 22 Ko has folding wingtips to fit the carrier elevator. That's really it, and the dive speed is actually slightly worse than the regular Mod 22 because of it.
