>sovok historically accurate shell finds its way inside american tank

>four kills literally every time i try the katyusha event
>fucking 5 to 7 minute wait times in between
Holy shit literally having an aneurysm right now

I literally got it first try. Try camping near the front line. Use your teammates as bait, be a cunt. You dont need to win you need the kills

already too late. pretty much gave up the game earlier until I heard italian planes were getting added. not gonna bother with it anymore

Is there still time to get the katyusha?

i think for next 3 hours

fug I leave for a few days and this happens, is it fun?

i kinda enjoye it, probably because i didnt expect it to really wreck tanks. Can do from time to time 3-4 kills with it and next 5 matches im on death spree

If shooting 132mm rockets off the lowest-BR vehicle with hydroponic suspension sounds fun, then yes.

just swallow your pride and buy the thing

Unless I'm missing something, aiming ground based rockets is ass.

I've still managed to get quite a few kills with it by setting myself up well because when the rockets hit they hit hard, but overall the tanks are generally more enjoyable. Imho most fun was the shitshow that was 105 sherman.

>hydropneumatic suspension
How did they justify giving this to the Katyusha? Because they dug in the wheels? Wasn't that common for most SPGs and halftracks?

i tried the katyusha once and didn't get it so i gave up

Is historically accurate, Tovarish))))))

"Hit"

don't question it comrade! its vodkatruck after all ))))))))))

Is the ZSU-37 as tedious to play in AB as the ZiS-43? Talking about the kamikaze pilots and hull break. The HVAP seems like a good round for when the spawn gets invaded though

>playing AB
>ever

It's not maneuverable enough to be effective at hunting tanks, and yes it gets raped by kamikazes. The rate of fire is trash for the BR as well, I've just stopped using it.

There's literally no reason to play RB over AB if you're focusing on SPAAGs.

>Punch through a Tiger E's driver port with 76mm APDS from the M41

Nice 9gag mem, but yeah I know. Tried playing RB with a 12.9" 1366x768 screen with 20FPS? Wouldn't recommend it..

Ugh, I doubt it's worse than the ZiS-43 though. Average lifespan of that is 1-2 plane battles

>12.9" 1366x768 screen with 20FPS
How about you stop being disgustingly poor?

>hit driver's feet with apds from bong 77mm
>cheetoman survives and backs out of danger

You were saying?

*dabs*

Not an argument. I have a bigger and far powerful laptop, but I only use it for work. Getting a real rig this summer when I graduate and getting rid off this MemePad

>bigger and far powerful laptop

Taking a bait-free day today, so why don't you get off and go to school now?

Great argument

what am i in for?

absorbing shells

cant wait for gaijin to give me my earned i-301. they sure are taking their time delivering it though

>planes

a slightly slower bulldog which is pretty fun once you get past the APCR stage

when's the next ship dev blog, jeez

Why can't Gaijin model post penetration effects properly? Seven separate hits to ammo racks with the Centurion Mk3 in my last game and not a single detonation, spent the entire game picking off crewmembers one by one only to end up getting a fuck load of assists

Why didn't the US put fucking stabilizers on their tanks? I'm getting rekt cause I can't shoot back.

That's an extra 289rp for three extra kills, I fucking give up even if you do well you get sweet fuck all as a reward.

When?

Fuck why won't Gaijin implement the E-series tanks? They all look so damn cool..

They didn't have any issues with the Panther II which never had a constructed turret and especially not night vision equipment..

its not like i am killing your tank either

Won't deal with this bullshit sorry

...

at least i dont live in a 3rd world shithole

>test account permanently banned
private cheat, nobody else has it
i barely played the game and certainly didn't do anything ingame for anyone to suspect anything

i wonder what kind of sketchy shit they're doing to find out who's cheating

where is the evidence?

What are you implying?

first offense as well

Neck yourself, frogniggers

Don't talk shit about frogs you fag

I keep getting different answers as to what Hull Break is from in-game chat, someone that knows what theye talking about please give me a final answer

Leave the french alone!

Running Windows?

neat, what did you hack do?

>Tiger 105
>Panther II
>Coelian

yeah, why?

aimbot, esp, the usual
it didn't change any ab/rb/sb settings

neat, killcams for planes

>Get gun 75mm or larger
>Waste AP shell so you can load HE
>Obliterate thin-skinned vehicles in one shot (Hellcat, PT-76, halftracks/trucks)
congratulations, you have achieved a successful hull break

remember "combat ineffective"? Same thing, but limited only to explosive shells

>absolute garbo IRL
propably gonna reck face ingame

My ISU152 shells aren't having much success achieving this.
HE nerf was the real war crime

Why does Spitfires attract Poles so much? Is it because of much squadron 303 or they are just braindead shiters?

A combination of both.
t. Pole

I think WT runs some sketchy shit on Windows since it's more 'open' and has more APIs. Let alone it runs everything on admin rights without any confirmation from the user.

Not sure how it behaves on macOS/Linux, but I can imagine it being a lot easier seeing what it does on those and also harder for it to be 'undetected' from the user.

>destroyers
Glad to see they're making steps in the right direction.

spotted the mistake. P-40s are pilot snipers by nature

>After the fiasco in Libya, the remaining Ba.88s were no longer used in combat, and efforts to modernize them also came to nothing.
Wow, it's literal trash and nobody cares! When the fuck are they going to tease ships from a nation that matters?

>shitter
>hitting enemy plane countless times
sure
>P-40s are pilot snipers by nature
So should I engage from the front?

Boom and zoom.

>HE
you still need to be able to penetrate, just with hull break you can kill vehicle without killing crew or modules. So rather than HE, you should use HEAT or APHE

the whole gjagent.exe running all the time was bit of a red flag when it came out since the game works and updates fine without it
oh well, at least they have a decent anti cheat system now even though it could be a dead simple way of detecting certain cheats

just bought bv 238

discuss

>play DD on tiny ass arcade map
>get kamikazetorped by some russian on a jetski
>"comrade gaijin told you bigger ships wont be fun))"

this will happen

>you still need to be able to penetrate
Only because non-penetrating spalling isn't modeled, and there's literally no excuse for that.

Kill yourself.
