I WANT MORE FUCKING TOP TIER KRAUT PLANES AND TANKS ALREADY

2nd for going 90kmh in reverse

Only top tier Kraut plane I can see the point of adding is the G.91R/3

SOON™

I like it when i get killed by tanks that weren't even rendered.

me to bro, me too

meant to reply to

>play arcade with the understanding that i get markers but so do they
>nope, turns out they get markers but i don't
:))))

*breaks down in your path*

Had trillions of shekels, with each client stability my shekel in-come goes down

no changes in economy)))))

Just use premium tanks and time goy

I don't know why, but luckily I don't get that issue.

I should buy a tank

>176k
>milweb.net/webvert/a2365

you can buy shit like T55s for 40/60k and they're entirely functional bar guns.

I'm so fucking hyped

By power of communist jesus if i had chance to buy t55 i would own more tanks than government

wew

they're not that hard to get in europe considering nothing bars them from being owned legally
some of them are actually drivable since at least here in france every vehicle is road legal in case the gubmint takes away the special powers of the army concerning that.
I would love to have one and get a couple (read: dozens) of working guns and ammo from eastern yurop countries.

Most games are good games, but i hate when this bullshit happens

You posted the wrong tank.

Anybody else feel like WT tonks feels less like WW2 but more like some sort of conflict in between 3rd World countries using surplus WW2 equipment?

Especially when it comes to allied teams since the vehicle variety makes it look like some African/Arab nation went on a shopping spree and got every tank on the market from both East and West.

>grind to tier III on ibvited fake accounts to get GE

>mfw

>Anybody else feel like WT tonks feels less like WW2
It isn't the Cold War tanks facing Panzer IIIs no sir!

>still no maps south of the Sahara
More post war maps when

same
It only feels like actual ww2 when it's like germany/US or something similar

Rockets for Spits when?!

We might as well get some maps set in Angola seeing how half the arsenal used by Cuba and the SADF is already in the game.

How the fuck do you kill a KV-1 on the uptier?

Gibson Gajin

Gaijin said in the past that game is around tanks not when they fought. If you want to use that logic should jsdf Tanks fight T-54 since it entered on a later service date? If you want """realism""" you have to play sim or when the events rolls around.

At this point i am convinced that most players go out of their way to bomb the shit out of IS-6s

You sure? I found USSR tree is the fastest

The WW2 feel of the game really started to get off the rails with the US release.
I mean until then the weird shit was mostly contained to tier V where Panther IIs fought T-54s.
With the US came the weird things like mixed teams and M41s fighting Tiger tanks. It only got weirder from then on with the Soviet Cold War airborne tanks and swimming tanks.
Honestly, don't have an issue with the "realism" of ground forces. Just wish we had more camos and decals to unlock. Especially from post-war nations, units or conflicts.

>fastest way to do so is Jap tree
how fast?
arcade + freebie I-153 + talismaned I-15 + premium get me there in 2 hours

Is this really a viable tactic for getting GE? I'm genuinely curious

Is there anything better?

No just buy the eagle's goy

I wrote down how many RP are needed to reach tier III on each nation, considering the shortest way possible. To reach tier III you have to unlock 4 tanks in teir I and 6 in tier II:

US: 11600 (tier I) + 71000 (tier II) = 82600RP
Ger: 21800 + 62300 = 84100RP
USSR: 127000 + 63600 = 76300RP
UK: 19600 + 66600 = 86200RP
Jap : 13800 + 45600 = 594000RP

Fuck, I mainly play GF so it never came into my mind that it doesn't matter if you reach tier III by GF or AF. Do you think it's faster via planes? Also no premium, I'm doing this thing to get the 1900 GE needed to get 30 days premium for my main account

nah, going to work and buying 5000-10000 GE for like day worth of work is.
I did it only for free crew slot, you get after grinding 10 accounts

>flying through thick clouds
>no one else around
>suddenly hear a prop engine
>make that multiple
>3 spitfires materialize behind me and vaporize me
why is this spotting system so fucking retarded

Yeah, you create n fake accounts via the invite friends link on your main account. You then play on these fake accounts, each time you reach tier II you get 70000SL and when you reach tier III you get 500GE on your main one. Doing this twice you can get enough GE to get one week premium, four times and you have a month worth of premium

>Do you think it's faster via planes? Also no premium, I'm doing this thing to get the 1900 GE needed to get 30 days premium for my main account

you get 50 GE for starting game from invite
then 2 x 100 GE for completing turtorial
buy talisman on I-15 of your choice for 80GE. They are straight up OP for reserve planes, so will rack you up plenty of kills.
I-153 given for first battle is normally 2.7 in arcade, but premium is one 1.7.
double gvains by buying 1 day prem for remaining GE.
first 3 battles have rigged gains, but after that you should be getting 3-7k RP for a battle, whoich usually last around 10 minutes

Damn, that's very nice to hear. Now I've already started with Jap GF, but since I have to do this 4 times, next account I'll try your method, thanks user

Is this for arcade?

of course.

Why won't Gaijin provide some Cold War era decals from NATO or Pact countries?
Maybe also some Arab, Israeli or Vietnamese national markings.

>This is not a bug.

If gaijin gave a shit about anything but muh great patriotic war we would've seen an indo-pakistani map or an arab-israeli map years ago.

>The kill cam is a data reconstruction only and is not an 'image' of what occurred. It cannot be used as evidence.
Somehow I don't believe this. It sounds like a cheap excuse of a dev that doesn't give a fuck.

>Sinai desert
Are you this retarded?

>years ago
>Sinai added within the last few months

when?

US premium when?

Isn't that a canadian mod? That'd be a brit tank.

Is it just me, or does the Matilda not get artillery support? If so, why?

But I'm always fucking left with a busted A26 that's just floated around with no tail control and unable to bomb shit. Thanks, you stupid Yaks.

They've already decided canucks belong to the US when they added the Ram to the US tree on the grounds that at one point they tested a different variant of it and then never touched it again.

just like Canadian M5 and Canadian moddified M3 Medium?
M4A2 is also in American tree, despite being produced for allies that didn't want gasoline engines

M4A2 was used a pretty reasonable amount by muh reens so at least that makes a little bit of sense.

How come that all the snow maps are absolute garbage while all desert maps are top tier?

Heavy tanks and SPGs don't get arty because ))))))

So basically they WANT the brit tree to be super tiny and irrelevant, since apparently the UK is not the Commonwealth but the US has annexed Canada somehow. Great game Gaijin.

Stop whining, UK gets france.

>American made
>produced for British
>only avaliable for Soviets, because British already had all round better 75 mm variant and sent ajority there.
>57 mm variant is better in game

Don't forget Sweden too

Marines used M4A2's though

Is this good?

Basically Up armored centurion mk3 chassis and same turret

>France AND Sweden
just fuckin' great!

Whoever is researching it-1 better do it quickly, otherwise enjoy getting gaijind by new tank

>Says as everyone gets STRV to grind tree and an extra centurion

I have it researched but don't have the lions for it.

This totally helps the tier III hell of the brits.
Oh wait.

>fires needles

>Same BR as the 34-85 meme pyramid and regularly gets uptiered to Tiger I and II (P) games

ok

herpy derp when?

It wouldn't make sense in the british tree though. The Strv 81 is basically a centurion, the m/42 (and the Strv 103 as well for that matter) is designed and made in Sweden.

Looks neat but I dread imagining another roadblock between the Sherman and Patton tanks.

*T25 intensifies*

Redpill me on the J7W

Come on goy, just gimme a quick rundown.

1.69 fucking when

Pretty good plane, not as maneuverable as an ayyyfire but you can keep up. It has an awesome speed so you make P80s shit themselves. Ammo count is low but once you get used to the jap 30mms you can easily erase anything with 20 or so shots

Probably 1-2 weeks.

>some Russkie from Novgorod just accessed my account
I don't think I've ever changed a password that fast. How the fuck did they do it? I've got the two-step and everything, and just got through a round of changing passwords.

So why the hell is the Matilda 3.0? The armor's average but the gun's a reserve tank popgun, and it's slow as fuck both driving and turning the turret.

This can mean only one thing: Russian hackers!

Used the dev server or confirmed your email recently?

>not using the slav matilda
The armor is better than average, just remember to angle, desu.

>the only Yugoslav roundel in WT is the RYAF
>we will never get the partisan/post-war roundel
Even all these years since the introduction of the Yugo roundel into WT, this still makes me sad.
