First for Panzer IV

Reminder that the Katyusha event is absolute crap.

Third for when

Hopefully soon.

after piaggio 108

When?

>I cant get 5 kills in 2.3 games! Wahhh!

Learn to play, dude

>t. the guy who actually bought the BM-24-8

>being this bad

Is there any point if buying the premium H8K if I own the regular one?
I've got it half off for 30 minutes

>take the He-112 a-0 for a spin since a long time
>6 kills with very few shells
Shame it's the only plane with the Mg c/30L

The ammunition on that thing is beyond great.

I'd pay for a P-47 with 4 of those.

>spent 15 games in a row having free rein to drop bombs in my tu - 2 on brits and burgers in tank RB
>plane research is double speed of tank research

Why do they call it tank rb again?

>play tank
>get rekt by planes
Sounds pretty realistic to me ;_;

My sole enjoyment of this game is literally ground pounding cunts in tank RB. I rush points to get enough deployment points dont care if i die afterwards just to hop into my war winning liberating air machine for you )))

he's right tho. Battles are absolute shitfest right now because all ruskies bring nothing but rocket tanks and leave after getting rekt. Only thing worse than playing aganist such teams is playing with such teams

Just get in AB and spam rockets at shitters. Do you know how many people are using that rocket "tank" but unused to not having a target indicator? If you were any good you can just take a dump on 5 of them.

>playing random battles instead of the dedicated event
It's like you want it to be hard

You can do that too but it's no different. Sometimes you'd get most of both teams using that same vehicle.

I don't tank about obtaining Katyusha, but about battles turned into shitfest, because instead of putting it into containment event, Gaijin made them do it in normal battles

Eh, facing more armored tanks like the KV-1, any German tank with schurzen, Matilda and so on isn't that fun when you can guaranteed BM-8 spam games

AB has always been a shitfest, this doesn't change anything. If you're talking about RB,

>there are people dumb enough to try to do this in RB

They weren't going to be good teammates no matter which vehicles they used.

ship cbt fucking when

>press "i"
>engine stops for a sec then goes back on

wat

not sure about KV-1, but Matilda can be killed by shooting tracks

Really? Thought it had a lot of spaced armor there and thick hull

you can't do any MEC in arcade

Gaijin's quality damage model. Side shields can stop BM, but shoot tracks from the inside angle (by aiming at front armor), and rocket will ghost through mudcovers, explode on track and kill crew

>Cent Mk 1 empties floor ammo racks before the giant one next to the driver
Is this a bug? The later models go the opposite way and this shit lights up on every penetrating hit.

I should've known... Oh well, still think I have a better chance in the event

>still playing chore blunder

>not playing war thunder

go away SerB, Peter Gaiten, Nabutso etc...

>1.37

if I counted correctly that was 15 patches ago

user is an attention whore

DShK on Pz IV J when?

Question about the Naval aspect of the game.

will there be destroyers at every tier or are they going to be T4/T5 only?

>looking for a skin for a certain tank on live.warthunder
>have to scroll through a dozen or so generic camo pattern skins because somebody put every single hashtag in there
I wish I could block certain content.

DDs will probably start at tier 2. Theres no way they'd put 1936 DDs at tier 4/5.

From what I understand there will be destroyers at every tier.

Tribal and 7U are both from the 1930s, there is no way they're going to be confined to T5, especially if we consider that there are files for boats from the 1970/s armed with missiles

There needs to be an anime filter.

...

>somebody made a skin for a Serb M18 Hellcat
It's time.

>mach 1, f&f, 600kg missile

seems balanced

Oh boy

dis gon b gud

IS THIS CORRECT?

I REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION

exactly what I mean

one Exocet is enough to send any WW2 ship (smaller than a cruiser) to the bottom of the ocean

Good
Very Good
Awesome
God Tier

i was told theres 2 good and 2 shit ones

are you trying to trick me or ?

New leak:

Italian CANT Z.1007

So this is the power of Gaijin

what are these "tournaments" for premium vehicle? teams, 2v2 or duels?
and why only arcade?

>thinking they wouldn't go to missiles
The Soviet Union had a significant technology advantage in ASHMs up to the 70's, with the Termit coming 10-15 years ahead of the Harpoon and Exocet. They'll put one T5 bote with missiles for western nation top tier and have Termit armed Soviet ships down to T3 because
>historically accurate comrade ))))))))))))))))))(
Or some bullshit like that.

Old leak.

1.69 when

tfw soon

>German team gets unlimited panthers and tigers in event
>doesn't count the fact that all the tigers and panthers were chewed up on the Ostfront
its trash

>spitfires
>shit
wat

Historically accur- wait, wrong meme

>tfw no endless spawns as 12 years old infantry armed with a single panzerfaust

last time we had this kind of event germans lost all the time, they just cant win against hordes of racing cars

>tfw grandpa and great-uncle served in the Volkssturm
Sometimes I'm glad I wasn't born in the twenties

That was because people would spawn in P47s and vaporize the germans who got far ahead. This time though, you can't hop into a plane right away so the nazis just swarm the caps and hold it against m18s.
Tbqh to be "accurate", only the burgers/brits should be able to get into planes right away to show their absolute air superiority (no naziboos allowed :^))

>born in the twenties
>childhood is filled with constant food shortages, poverty and unrest in the streets
>might get killed during yet revolution or firefight in the streets between Commies and Nazis or government troops
>shit gets even worse by the 30s
>Hitler comes to power and the next six years are sorta okay
>war starts which goes from bearable to living in hell for years
>by 1945 forced to fight Allied armored division with nothing but a single panzerfaust and a helmet that's too big for you
Don't think there was ever a worse time to be born than the 20s.
Even the Lost Generation wasn't as badly fucked.

Well, my great-uncle got to shake Hitler's hand once, so I guess there's that

What is that rifle at the beginning? The rear looks like an Enfield, but I don't recognize the front

>Haven't played in months
>Just got back into it
>Take out the M18
>Ammo racking like a mad cunt
>Going faster than light
>Bouncing all hits
WEW

It's an American soldier and so it's probably a M1 Garand. Also looks like it imho.

This shit really sucks

>Run into a Katyusha in RB
>Shoot it straight in the driver cabin
>Somehow only damage the horizontal turret drive
>He kills me

)))))))))))

How do you energy fight a spitfire if they have more energy?

Also what's up with Naval Forces? I thought they were in?

you make a run for it and dive towards your team mates

Machine guns are a thing though. Highest thickness is 5mm truck frame

Shut the fuck up naval forces are fine fuck off with your rumor spreading

not yet

testing sessions are held sporadically for those that have CBT access

In rework apparently. Adding destroyers. Also Italian planes

Like fuck it is. The stock is very Enfield-like, but the barrel looks weird. Must be some sort of Enfield carbine

Lmao, they are basically free kills

This thing then?

Look how he is holding it. Maybe a Kar taken away from a pow

>mfw the i-301 4v4 tournament

holy shit this is super easy. i'm sitting on 14 victories out of 15 matches, and i've lost the first one only because i picked the wrong plane

literally never died since i took the La-5FN

Is there anything better than M18 Hellcat on Sinai?

IS-2's clubbing them at range

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph do Jap GF Reserves fucking suck or what?

Is there any way to untrain crews? I want to scrub the Italian planes out of my German tree when 1.69 comes around

>bounces of bt5
Ayyyyoo
>penetrates t26 and Simpsons the gunner
We wuz samurai
>slowly rotates the turret
An
>gets nuked
Sheeeeeeeit

great
same plane
better
best prop in the game
Holy shit, look at their faces. This is terrible. Poor lads.

Reminder to play the P-40 in air RB, use stealth ammo and you're good. One of the most broken things in this shitty game full of broken things.

Wait is it just 5 kills now?

I just got a BM-13N and I sure as shit didn't get an Ace

>During this time destroy 5 enemies (only players controlled vehicles) in one battle in event, whilst driving the BM-8-24.

I hate this fucking community

Convice me not to

>it's a "filthy little nigger rams me through a capture point and uses me as a human shield" episode

[Persuade] You shouldn't do it.

You will get it for free once the tree opens up. You can buy it later cheaper if it turns out to be good and the best option on its tier.

I wonder what will become its Tier 4 premium poster child, like what is the Fw 190D-13 to the Germans.

what's the best 6.7 British mixed battle lineup?

>it's a teammates completely ignore the objectives episode hourly rerun
Why do I keep playing?

Springfield M1903. He is a US G.I. after all.
