first for this game is fucking shit

>F-82 repair cost

Fucking why, I thought only OP planes were supposed to be expensive.

XP-

-72!

>me-262 a1a is 37.2k
>fights mig-9 lates

American high altitude animeposter, I appreciate your shitposts.

THANK YOU, MISTER. LET US HOPE GAIJIN ADDS MORE INTERCEPTORS TO THE US TECH TREE

I just played my first tank simulator battle

was this secretly the patrician game mode all along?

Indeed

do the battles cycle in terms of what vehicles are allowed?

R2Y2 45k
>Used to be over 60k

Yes.
>less spaag cancer
>planes require a reasonable level of competence
>respawn in your light or medium if you get memed the first time

Yes.

Every 24 hours, it covers the entire tree

The most fun i have is groundpounding in that, its so satisfying doing instinctive bombing on tanks.

Panther A or F for 6.3? Not touching the G for anything

A has the best turret traverse and power to weight of any of the panthers besides the II. The F has a better reload but shitty 600hp engine same as the G it also has the same 50mm slightly more sloped side armor

Would the A be the best pick then? 2 seconds isn't really worth loosing engine power, 3kph reverse is even worse. Don't know about the commanders cupola, shot a panthers cupola with the 85mm today and kill everything in the turret

is the KV-2 as fun to play as it is aesthetically pleasing?

Playing the Churchill mk7 is a strange feeling. On one hand you feel invincible but on the other you can't kill shit.

So it's like the first jumbo

Even worse. At least the Jumbo is faster and you get APCR and APCBC.

FUCK

do people actually play light tanks?? How do you accomplish anything?

Just flank )))))

The baby tiger is fun.

You accomplish stuff by flanking and stuffing rounds into weakspots. It only works in realistic and sim modes where stealth is a thing.

Some lights like the chaffee are just kinda bad, but the T92 is great.

do planes br affect matchmaking in tank battles

Yes.

Yes, of course. They're not going to let you play a sabre or IL-28 in a reserve tank battle.

>implying that wouldn't be for the best

Was I the only one not aware that all Panther 1s has a 10mm roof?

Well, except for the G with it's 40mm

>spit mk vc easily keeps up with my 109 G-6
I'm fucking done with this game

>spit optimized for low alt performs well at low alt
Wow!

G6 is the worst 109 and the slowest fighter at its tier so...

>play only Air RB for a longer time
>just leave the game-mode after getting fucked by "ALTERNATE HISTORY ))))" and Norway 24/7
>it's either the team doesn't climb or it's fighting spits
>go to Arcade Battle
>enjoy playing dive-bombers and fighters again
'tis actually fun.

Now that helos are confirmed we can combine propeller and rotor as one

youtu.be/ycXEgIRWGqs?t=1620

FUCKING

WHEN

>hit ammo rack with AP round
>"hit"

youtube.com/watch?v=KZ_7br_3y54

Készíts elő három koporsót.

>Hit Rocketpanzer 4-5 with 105mm APCBC or whatever the T-29 has
>hit
boi

>heat round to the Calliope rocket array
>hit

>HE to PT-76 and ASU
>Hit

calliope rocket array doesn't explode, I own the fucking thing
it just can't fire until repaired in RB now

>someone dives on me
>ping instantly shoots through the roof
mere coincidence))))))))))))))))))))))))))

git gud

Why did you post this?

Why did you post this?

clap clap

>play against weebs
>lose
I really should play them
problem is I'm not a fucking weeb and nothing about their tree interests me, and I don't just play shit because it's easy

do you want anime recommendations?

weeb planes aren't easy, or, any easier than the russians at least. it's just that american teams are absolutely braindead.

question, haven't gotten to bong T5 yet, but which is better to research first, Vampire or Meteor 3?
as soon as I have the Vampire out of the way I'm going for the Hunter, was just looking for recommendations. Although I'm also playing tanks so I figured the Vampire was a good idea.

first, wasn't even playing as burgers
second
>slavs
>easy
literally the worst planes in the game
literally only everything that isn't a fighter in their line is playable

youtube.com/watch?v=4C7rG6FUuJA

Damn nigga you must really be shit if you can't do good as the soviets you must be absolute shit. All the La-5's and the La-7 and -9 are excellent, so are the Ishak and both I-185's, the M-71 version especially is clubby. Yak-9T and Yak-3P/9P are stupidly good as well.

Lavochkins barring the 9 are shit, they're unresponsive as all hell especially when it comes to the rudder, and the armament is shit
I-185 is made of literal balsa wood and paper
Yak-9T is a shit meme but the Yak-3/9P are good, but that's 3 fucking planes

GLOC is the most cancerous mechanic ever added to this game
prove me wrong

I have an almost 90% win rate in the I-185

...

tier 1 german premium when?

Wait, which shitty mechanic was that?

G-loss of consciousness
and before you call me a spitnigger, I never suffer from that shit in spits, they turn too fast for that to affect you
I constantly have to deal with it in vehicles that can't turn nearly as fast

A26B or AD2 for burger tank RB

I'm gonna have to say AD-2

Oh right. Fucking died so many times because I somehow G-lock at 3gs and crash, or get shot down.

>when other countries think they have land but it's actually lebensraum

>nazitards

Sein Vaterland muss größer sein

That never seems to work out for Germany. youtube.com/watch?v=WOVEy1tC7nk

Germany's failures are moe

>that massive ass seat in the wyvern
is it an ejection seat?

No it's just in case Burgers wanted to buy it

Germany's failures are absolutely hilarious.
>Bismarck
>Pavlovs House
>Both World Wars

...

>slavs don't have a single good AAA

>What is ZSU series
>What is Gaz Truck series

>What is ZSU series
lined with ammo and armed with low firerate, low damage guns
>What is Gaz Truck series
easily machine gunned to death

Kek I don't think I've ever even encountered one of those, and if I have, it must've been such an easy and insignificant kill that I can't remember it

t. german construction paper tank player

Let me just check my "How to identify a fellow Communist" handbook. Nope, you don't fit the profile.

>tfw get nuked by aa trucks while rushing the point as locust

do you at least get to parachute in?

>Locust
Any tips on using that thing? Just got it but was typically using the GMCs

Flank ))))))

just flank bro )))))
moba map makes you face enemy heavies from the front?
get good ))))))))))))

>weeb planes aren't easy

They're made of the same paper the origami bullets they shoot are made of.

>this is what weebs genuinely believe

The zeros are super overtierd though!

Ho

Hitler did objectively nothing wrong other than losing

And invading Russia. And insisting on bigger and heavier tanks instead of much better medium tanks.

Well, he shot himself to head.

no proof
