/wtg/ War Thunder General

friendly reminder to join the discord so we can let this shit general finally die :)

The discord has unironically been discussing WoT more than WT

discord is for homosexuals

And how to make WT more like WoT.

No, I did not dive him to "save" the Focke-cuck, as if I'd ever save a handheld nigger.

You sound like you're hiding your love for Focke Wulfs.

I can see why you'd theorise that, but it is incorrect.

I can see that you like making lies to blog about to keep this ded thread alive

They did happen, it's not my fault so many Fucke-fucks are so dumb that I have an abundance of stories to share.

>dude get rushed by 4 IT-1s with no minimum arming distance 8 rounds in a row lmao
Slavs need to be exterminated like the subhuman beasts they are.

No. First the Naziboos, then the Brits and the Japs. Then we replace all the ww2 vehicles with cold war vehicles.

Yeah, regardless of the "contributions" of the walking mudsuckers from Russia.

Something interesting I read once, regards to USSR pilots: You would apparently be payed 1000 roubles for every aircraft you shot down. According to western pilots in the USSR, 1000 roubles during the war was about £240, if we use the 1944 price conversion. £240 in 1944 would be £10,056 today, or $13,024.

kys!

>NAZIS TRY TO LIE THEIR WAY OUT AGAIN

>delusional slave is still shitposting
kys!!

>NAZIS STILL CAN'T ACCEPT REALITY

So Pokryshkin and Kozhedub would have roughly $650,000.

Wonder if they paid more for the 262 kill Kozhedub got

*grabs by the vodka* kill yourself?!?!

Probably not. Kind of crazy when you think about how much money they got. Kozhedub could've retired for life basically but he continued fighting all the way onwards to Korea. I believe you were also paid a sum of roubles for a specific amount of ground attack sorties, too.

Shit, that'd be pounds, not dollars actually. So closer to 900k, fucking hell.

>I believe you were also paid a sum of roubles for a specific amount of ground attack sorties, too.
>Soviet sources assert that Stepanyan undertook no less than 239 combat sorties, sunk 53 ships, thirteen of which he did alone, destroyed 80 tanks, 600 armored vehicles, and 27 aircraft.

>He's running us broke, we keep trying to kill him but he keeps coming back!

Found the info, was in my Osprey book.
>For a total of five ground attack sorties against enemy land forces the pilot would be awarded 1500 roubles, and for fifteen sorties 2000 roubles. For 25 sorties, a sum of 3000 roubles was an offer. Finally, for anyone who managed to survie 40 sorties, or more, 5000 roubles was paid and the coveted HSU (Hero of the Soviet Union) title bestowed upon the deserving recipient.
Now if this all adds up, then that's 11,500 roubles.

Literally surviving a sortie was probably enough for a distinction for an IL-2 pilot. Wonder if there were rewards specifically for destruction of enemy armour.

never happened

Can't find anything regards to armour. Apparently the Western pilots who were stationed got in the USSR cucked by the RAF regards to bounty:
>The CO, Isherwood wouldn't let us have it, passing it on instead to the RAF benevolent fund, as he reasoned we would be shooting each other down in order to get the bounty!

>"okay, let's try that 'assault' thig"
>waiting more than 3 minutes for a battle
>20 something minutes of shooting bombers flying in straight line
>890 RP
who the hell plays that thing?
They should make same thing for bombing shit, though, to offload some bombershitters from PvP

Wait, there were RAF pilots stationed in the USSR?

Yes, but mainly for training or escort duties
>One of the pilots sent to the Soviet Union to help with the transfer of aircraft to the VVS was Eric "Ginger" Carter, who was then serving as a hurricane pilot.
>"Some 39 of us were sent out by Churchill two weeks after they (the USSR) had "come in on our side".
>"...we tended to fly in pairs when on escort duties in order to protect the tail of the leader."

I feel like the RAF pilots didn't quite grasp how desperate the USSR were if they thought they were going to be shot down by them.

Funny though how even in the civilian mindset, allying with the USSR was more of an "enemy of my enemy" deal than actually trusting them.

They probably knew how desperate they were, since Stalin didn't seem to like the success of the RAF pilots:
>"It would be fair to say we shot down a lot more than 16 enemy aircraft.[...] We were instructed not to pursue a claim so that we did not compete with our Russian colleagues, and thus did not offend Stalin, who was, in any case, not keen to publicise our involvement."
Apparently the RAF pilots got along well with the Soviets who were being taught how to fly the Hurricane.

What the fuck is up with the first two IS hulls? They bounce Panther shots at NO angle and I can't get through my fucking Tiger shot unless I shoot the cheeks

How am I supposed to deal with M103s?

If you don't have heat or apds? Run away. If you do, aim for the flattest part of the hull or the flattest bit of the mantlet.

The driver port on the first has been a black void due to optics since closed beta. Go for the lower frontal plate.

Currently at soviet br 7.0 (T-44-100, IS-2 1944 are my mains) so no HEAT or APDS

If you really, really have to, try aiming to the flat sides of the mantlet. The armour model on the M103 is pretty fucky around the turret, a lot of random flat polygons on it if you look through the armour model viewer.

Then why do you care? You're playing the most broken BR in the game and are on the receiving end. Enjoy your free 75% winrate until the next totally balanced premium gets announced.

I don't see any IS-6s or RU-251s there user?

Good thing those are rarely if ever played and all except the M103 are unredeemably shit. The T-44-100 can pen a Maus frontally in the shit knife fight maps the matchmaker consists of. Also
>>T-54 1949

What's the true meme lineup of any nation and mode?

I meant 1951. Still

>unless he noscopes me with its 128mm or 75mm HEAT
With what traverse, and reload speed which is equivalent to the Soviet 122 despite larger interior and two loaders? The APCBC can punch through an unangled cheek from 500 meters, so even if you were retarded enough to engage one frontally despite Maus being some of the easiest flankable tanks in the fucking game and the T-44-100 being one of the more mobile, you have a great fighting chance against a full 0.7 BR above you heavy tank. Also >75mm HEAT. The Maus is a fucking joke, no matter were you loading HEAT-FS, Sabot or APCBC and there's a big fucking reason why nobody uses the thing.
>I meant 1951
Now spoonfeed me on this, because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Why would you face a T-54 1951 in your T-44-100?

C-1/A-4 when?

>Why would you face a T-54 1951 in your T-44-100?

Well you tell me. Last match I had two T-10M on my team. MM is so fucking broken

if you want faction bias to be on your side, don't play arcade
or more like, don't play arcade at all.

But that's how MM works if you're playing Russian.

>pooland

into the trash it goes lmao

What are some of you guys' opinions on the M56 scorpion? im about halfway done researching it

The way I see it 90mm HEAT FS is a death beam, but exposed crew is a big detriment

>speedy as fuck
>cheat-fs
>no armour because getting hit means you fucked up anyway

10/10 cancerwagon

enjoy crewlock when you get killed via hullbreak from shell hitting ground, arty blast radius or plane crashing anywhere withing 10 m from you

Also APCBC for flanking, spanking, point and click adventure.

get APHE asap, then proceed to go around corner at mach 5 while doing 360 and killing panthers

Comet and firefly have better optics than maus or e-100

sounds about right

The Maus and E-100 have no zoom at all. Also optics are retarded in this game and making them more "realistic" without adding in their historical equivalents aside from an estimated zoom is retarded.
