Japan was basically irrelevant in terms of armor development past the 40s, got laughed at to their face and "frail Japanese frames" post-war by the Americans, and finally started unfucking their stuff by like, what, the 90s?
ST-A3 excluded because it had a semi-automatic loader.

was thinking of meming with bong SPGs but should I just go straight for the chieftain and grind out the fun stuff with that?

>Me-262 takes at least 10 hits from 23mm frag shells and walks away perfectly fine

Does 23mm need a serious buff?

on everything except the Tu-4, yes

>tfw the days of getting 30 ai tank kills in a single run in the original il2 are long gone

Ok I just started playing air battles after being a tank guy and I'm trying to figure out how these fuckers are just slowing down in the middle of a dog fight and getting behind me without extending their airbrakes or making any fancy moves. They just start sliding back until they're on my tail

You can extend your flaps at low speed. They'll make you more maneuverable and slow you down.

They could also be cutting their throttle and just gliding, which will make them bleed speed fast.

Also turns in general make you bleed speed really badly.

>without extending their airbrakes
What nation has airbrakes on their fighters at low tiers? Do you mean landing flaps?

...

There are a few dive bombers that can play as heavy fighters pretty well like the helldiver and B7A. There's also the A-36 with its dive recovery flaps, but I'm not sure if he means any of those.

Well. You aren't wrong.

They always seem to fucking explode no matter what speed

I know dive bombers are just glorified fighters, I used to get mad kills in the Dauntless before the .50 nerf. But I think he's talking about 109s or Yaks.

whats wrongwith 219 a-7

4.3 spit 9 is docking with the international space station, 5.7 spit 9 is currently aerobraking around mars

Seldom does anybody actually use it to bomber hunt and only end up as groundpound shitters

It's a total shame

because it's not relegated to hunting bombers, why would it go up high and look for something that's not even there if it can just outclass all the fighters?

In my 20k plus matches, I don't think I've ever had a team that WASN'T a fucking detriment

Killed my spitfire in a headon.

can someone remind me why the tiger II H hasn't been moved to 7.0, and the tiger II 105 hasn't been removed altogether?

Remind me again how hard is it to kill it with apds and heat ?

Remind me again how many 6.7s have APDS and HEAT capable of penetrating its hull.

bongs 6.3
slav and burgers 6.7
Japs never see it

also pick a fucking 7.0 or 7.3 tank, they see 6.7 a lot

>just because you're a massive shitter in it doesn't mean it's not good in the hands of someone who isn't a vegetable like yourself
That applies to every vehicle in the game, even the shit ones. The Tiger 2 H is a piece of shit considering its BR and anyone with half a brain is using the 10.5 or Panther II.

Fucking Yakniggers, can't even abuse their bias to win.

>The Tiger 2 H is a piece of shit considering its BR and anyone with half a brain is using the 10.5 or Panther II
no it isn't, it's the best heavy at it's tier, and outclasses just about every TANK except the Nigger 251
the areas you can pen it are very small and it's extremely easy to fuck up your shot and become a free kill for the nigger behind the wheel

what bias

Endless energy

Infinite energy

>best heavy at it's tier, and outclasses just about every TANK except the Nigger 251
Incorrect when the T29/T34 exists while the Soviet lineup creates a 7.0 void that everyone else gets sucked into against IS-6s. The Tiger II H is obsolete as it is.

>T29/34
has better maneuverability and also easily outreloads it
I mean trust me, the T29 needs to be 7.0 as well, but the Tiger II H is the best at it's tier

>T29 needs to be 7.0 as well
Yes. Because when every heavy tank is either clubbing 6.3 or getting clubbed at 7.0 the Tiger 2s will reign supreme in 6.7

>some fucking Russian hacked my account, spent all my Silver Lions, and changed my name

why

2 step verification)))))))))))))))))))
I have no idea why these fuckers do this shit, or how they find your email to begin with, let along your password

wait, you're telling me this is a common occurance?

I've heard it happen to a lot of fucking people
still hasn't happened to me though

didnt somebody lose account to two step verification and still didnt get it back ?

heard someone had their acct fucked up by 2-step but support ironed it out

Aside from the possibility of losing your account, what can they really do?

idk, cards used on that account maybe?

>possiblity of losing your account
I doubt even that can happen
my guess is they can spend all your ingame currency, but that's about it
maybe buy shit if you're retarded and leave the store to auto connect to your paypal/card

Exactly, what are they going to do? Grind the game for me? Oh no, anything but that!

T95 with early composite armor and 90mm APFSDS when?

M1 Abrams when?

If the T-64 gets in the prototype Abrams or even the base M1 wouldn't be too far-fetched, tbqh.

when we get the T-64
>something from 10 years later and outclasses it in about every way
"no"
MBT-70 and T95 Medium would be good compensation

480k rp grind)))

>outclasses it in about every way
It'd be frontally immune to every round currently in the game except for weakspots but the protection against APFSDS was kind of lackluster all things considered until the M1IP. It'd have a definite advantage over the T-64A, but that in turn would have a definite advantage over both the MBT-70 and T95.

>asks for something
>gives reasons why it shouldn't be added for at least a while
retards like you make me want to kill myself every fucking day

I was only really asking for the T95 though. The point I was making was that the Abrams is to the T-64 what to the T-64 is to the T95.

no it isn't
T-64 is shit
>300-400 effective frontally to APFSDS
>sides are 80mm RHA
but it's better than anything the slavs currently have

T95 wouldn't be that great either, especially if it retains the M60A1's fucked turret. The 90mm smoothbore had issues and wouldn't be much better if at all than the 90mm ingame with HEATFS. The MBT-70 fares a bit better but it's frontal armor would be slightly worse than the T-64 still and the APFSDS was shit. Even the M1 was only 400mm effective against KE in some relatively large spots.

>retains the M60A1 turret
first I don't believe that, the turrets only look similar, and if that actually is the case, what the fuck is the point of armoring the hull and not the fucking turret when you have to show the goddamn turret to engage
second, the T-64 isn't that good either
if it doesn't get the really good APFSDS rounds, it'll most likely not even be better than the Chieftain's APDS

>and if that actually is the case, what the fuck is the point of armoring the hull and not the fucking turret when you have to show the goddamn turret to engage
Apparently the M60 turrets have 352mm effective armor around the mantlet IRL. But in game they're only modeled with 152mm because )))))). And it still has the cupola which means it'll get memed on by everything with APHE. And the 90mm smoothbore would be beyond useless against the T-64 while the various 105mm and 120mm options would only be as effective as the 105mm APDS already ingame.

>everything with APHE
say that's 9.0, only thing that would be a threat that way is the T-10M

>9.0
Depends on how effective its early composite armor is modeled as, but I doubt it'd be higher than the M60.

>smoothbore
>350mm+ turret face
>8.0
try harder

>>smoothbore
At 127mm at 60 degrees it'd be enough to comfortably get through the front of T-54/62s but it's hardly a game breaker. Against the T-64 it's basically repeating the experience of trying to go against soviet mediums with stock solid shot, except the composite armor also makes grinding for HEATFS pointless.
mm+ turret face
If it's modeled the same as the M60s which are also supposed to have 350mm+ it'd have less than half that.

The subhuman that hacked my account bought some tanks shit tanks, did retarded decal camos, spent all my GE on IS3 modifications and SL, fucked over my presets, added his slavic friend who he proceeded to play multiple games with until I logged in. He even tried to change my password after I had regained my account. I'm convinced it happens through either dev servers or official Gaijin webpage because I had logged into dev servers the night before and verified my email through the Gaijin website just hours before the hack. said slav friend invited me to play games a few weeks later
