first for world war mode when

second for hull break for all vehicles when?

tank PVE fucking when

Why do you even want it? The PvE mode is trash.

>random AAA shell blows my wing off from 4,000 meters

ahahahahaha why god

>low caliber AA from some armored car strikes my plane
>wing is snapped off my previously undamaged plane

the pacific event is pretty fun

it is, I can't wait for gaijin to let us make our own rooms

the best part is that it doesn't count for stats so you can fuck up all you want and it won't stay with you

>P-47M camping the airfield for literally 40 minutes

How is this fun for ANYONE? Is it autism?

>getting APDS on the M41

Holy fuck this was worth it

>watch the enemy gunner absorb a solid steel 37mm to the chest and live
>get one clicked in return

Probably the most fun you'll ever have in the US tree, except maybe if you shekel up for T29 or grind ATGM.

M24 Chaffee in rb/sim is fun

Is stealth still the best 50 cal ammo? Been having pretty bad luck with 50s since the patch. They didn't nerf them did they? I don't remember seeing that in the patch notes...

Also is 400m too high for convergence for 50s?

remember chest and core day comrade)))) xaxaxa

how bad is the ship grind going to be?

99837RP away from the M48.
I hope it's okay.

yes

nah

>playing bore blunder
kys!

What now?

M36 is güd now
also
>no heavies or SPAA

1. your cunt
2. what's your favorite plen?

Stop that tree and get the FV4005.

Fiat fifties and MC205 Veltro when?

>Italian jets

please
PLEASE
i want this

Who would win in a fight, a Centurion mk1 or Panther F?

Mc205
Fiat G55
Re2005

These are the only other Italian planes that NEED to be added

T92 is okay. The HEATFS on it is junk. Leads to the M56 which is obviously a glass cannon, and same for the Sheridan - but ATGM.

T25 through M47 are all suffering. M47 is bearable with HEATFS. Haven't tried any of the heavies out. T34 might be okay with AP buff.

>mfw p36 hawk outturns my g50

Deleting this game is about as fun as playing it

...

Panther because the Centurion doesn't have HE filler ))

Light tanks after the M36, gotcha

I just finished getting the Conqueror fuck teebs

why am i getting lag spikes in every fur ball?

thats a cute animu, who's she?

the pokemon girl with the tigh highs

it's not even that good

gimmick tank

With wing .50s i like to go for 250 convergance and bubi the fuck out of people.

sounds about right desu

It's fun.

If you shekel to the HEAT it's great. Mini-M60A1.

are japanese tanks good?

...

>slap a T-44-122 in the side with a M348
>not even a hit
>50 ping 0% PL

Chi Nu II is good if you want to drop money on it

So what's the difference between fighters and naval/strike fighters?

Naval planes can land on carriers since they have landing hooks, fighters most of the time can't unless you're super careful and try a belly land.

it's fun for 3 seconds then you take MG fire and your breach breaks or your loader dies and you have to restart your 5 week reload again

Naval fighters can land on carriers easier.

Strike fighters are something like a mini interceptor I guess?

>I fell for the "HEAT is best the round" meme

Can I bind a specific button to drop lighter bombs before larger yields

>he thinks HEAT isn't the ultimate multipurpose round

Help, I'm having fun with Yaks, I dont want to become a slav.

So no reason to go down that tree early in the game if I'm not gonna do naval missions?

for usa? people say the bearcat is great but i dont have it

Naval = cannons = good.
Ground = shiddyfiddys = bad

Naval planes are usually just shittier versions of regular ones, with some exceptions. USA has a really solid naval tree, but the beercan has been nerfed pretty hard so only the cannon one is decent now and that one faces jets all day.

No, naval fighters are great. Most of the best USA fighters are in the naval line. The cannon corsair for example is a beast of a plane.

>have some really good matches in a row
>suddenly 10 matches in a row it is just shit

Why doesn't Gaijin make tanks like air RB in the sense that certain countries are bound to certain maps?

>USSR v Germany in maps like Berlin and Kursk

>Japan vs USA in Jungle, and maybe maps based on Japan's invasion of china

>Britain vs Germany in el Alamein and Tunisia

>USA vs USSR in korea

Why is ground forces set up as a mixed battle where it's an allies axis wombo combo

))))))

>PBJ/B-25 can't belly land on a carrier anymore because the tail snapping off bug
FUCK
YOU
GAIJIN

>It's an "A-26 takes the team on a 10 minute chase because hes so fucking fast" episode

custom rooms when

My favorite episodes

>decide to do the recruit a friend bullshit
>tier 1 is full of bots
>the players are almost as retarded
>gave me enough gold for a day of premium which will be enough to get me to tier 3
This is too easy, what's the catch?

You'll be spending a week to grind 1 tier 4

how good is the ki-43-iii otsu?

>Type 60 MAT
i think gaijin has a grudge against japs

It's 500 eagles for "unlocking Tier 3."

so whatever happened to to that FPS gaijin is making?

>Flying the B17E(s)
>Not flying the A-26B

soon
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

>shoot the UFP of a KT with my T34 on east europe
>cuts right through and nukes the entire crew

I think I'm in love lads

This will not go unpunished Amerikanisch.

i have no delusions that german shitters will allow this to stand

i expect many bitchy forum threads complaining about KTs not being top dog just like what happened to the T29

>Tiger
>Dog

...

Gaijin hates America way more than German players hate losing
This will not last

How E-Z is this tank?

it's literally a babby T-54

>Brigands
>Firebrands
>STIRLINGS??
>FUCKING B17E(s)

Really? The B17e? That shit is obsolete! Get the A26 at least!

>F-82s who know no other tactic besides lolheadon

Oh fuck off!

>tfw the only reason I fly the zero is to dunk on spitcancers

they got some good stuff

>PBJ-1J decloaks out of nowhere and kills me

>only thing the F82 has going for it is top speed and guns since the handling is dogshit
>implying these matter when RB air lets you see everything from miles away thanks to markers

There's faggots that will head on and then once you juke their pass they will fly all the way back to their base, turn around, and head on you again and repeat this ad infinitum, its fucking pathetic.

what else should they do then?

Stop using their base AAA as a crutch for their poor piloting skills.

>get on opponents 6
>in a youtuber squadron
>orange decal covering wing and puts on their orange smoke when you get behind them

Everytime

literally the only thing the F-82 can do is run and headon

it's not like the F7F where it's an actually good heavy fighter that can do more than just run

see
