Did the first. Did the second. Did the third. Fourth I'll do once I get back from Alaska in 2 months.

You would think this would be a higher priority. I know I'm not the only one with the problem.

that's fine, you clearly never played wot/wows

it sounds as an awfully specific problem, btw have tried non-ulq settings?

I get single digit frames without ULQ. I'm using a laptop and it is a piece of shit I fully admit that. With ULQ I can get a steady 30 FPS though which is enough for entertainment.

A $800 laptop from 2012 would run WT on medium. Jesus christ how fucking poor are you?

Is there a way to increase the range at which shadows fully render in tanks? I'm getting sick of driving along just watching the shadows move around in a tiny bubble around my tank

I'm away from home. I only brought a shitty laptop with me because I wouldn't mind if it got damaged.

Why did you jump to me being poor? Seems kinda protective if you ask me.

how am i supposed to play SB? the queues are all empty

I did the same thing, bought what I thought was a "shitty" laptop. It has a 970m and runs pretty much an 1080p game at 60 fps. If you're going to spend less than $900-$1000 why even bother. I'm guessing you're stuck with Intel integrated graphics?

>If you're going to spend less than $900-$1000 why even bother.

Because it's going to be sitting in a dank little cabin-trailer filled with smoke and dirt for three months. It would be like flushing a paycheck.

>being this careless with money
ok, yuri

>tfw get 300fps on max settings at 1440p

Feels good not being poor.

Well I guess what I mean is a $400 laptop isn't 50% performance of an $800 laptop...its more like 5%. There's a threshold you need to pay otherwise you're getting dogshit integrated graphics. Might as well play shit on your phone. If you're worried about it getting messed up just get the protection plan. Most major retailers will take returns for devices that are completely unusable / fucked up unless you live in some shithole 3rd world country or something.

If $800 is something you have to save up for months to spend on good hardware...stick to consoles.

not the guy you're replying to
that sounds dank as shit
you doing this for job or vacation?

where the fuck does this go, Gaijin?

tfw i'll never have the original Tu-2

I didn't buy this laptop for it's gaming capabilities I bought it because it was cheap and I knew it could run the games I wanted to play. Could being the key word.

Job. I got to Alaska for three months every year to repair and replace fences for pipelines. Huge amount of downtime for shit posting and vidya.

Novermber

In IL-2

Are all the bongs here okay?

How do you end up with a job like that? Sounds fucking awesome.

not that guy but it sounds as a lot of hard manual work in shitty conditions

Did they nerf fires in the last 6 months?
Haven't played in a while and yet literally every time I've set a plane on fire today it's gone out.

Fires have always been weird, especially when it's a jap plane you're shooting

every time my fighter catches on fire, I have 3 seconds or so before detonation. never used to do that all the time to me

not that guy but it sounds like you are just scared of having dirt on your hands

Sometime on the last year they actually added fuel tank sealing, so that may be what you're noticing.

i have set fire on some bf109 yesterday and then that jerk fled and didn't die

so, i loaded replay and it seemed i hadn't actually set his engine on fire, it was some other part of the plane that was on fire so it ended relatively safely for him

since when do fighters just eat 37mm rounds like they're fucking .22?

also is it an enemy base being visible through the port? i have just noticed it

>activate 200% booster

>4 man squad of BF_AF/CFAB in p-47s with bombs and rockets on our team
I'm done with this game

>allied teams

isn't it the worst version of wildcat, with more protection and two more guns but much clumsier than f4f-3?

Literally got a score of zero today because every allied plane decided to ground pound when I climbed. To be fair I also had a game where my team didn't climb and we got stomped

why don't elevators on B-25 work over 300mph? like, the pilot doesn't even TRY to make them fucking work, what the hell gives?

How do I M46?

It's like putting my nuts in a fucking meat grinder

OH BOY WHAT COULD IT BE

silver lions wager

BLESSED

>65 days playing Warthunder

I only know that actual pilots liked 4MG configuration more (for Wildcat or Hellcat) because it was plenty enough for japanese planes and it was indeed lighter.

Just don't. I don't know why people keep telling me it's not hot shit

But I got a 75% off the Tiger and bought it with the last of my GE

Isn't this HEAT shell supposed to be HEAT-FS?

why does the P-61C-1 turret, when AI controlled, turn slower than the M10? Are my gunners just retarded?

the HEAT rounds don't actually do anything, pretty sure they should be HEAT-FS though

Tier III German RB ground is literally FUCKING HELL

I think we've only won 2 matches out of 10 that I've played, what the fuck is this shit

Nips and Krauts vs everyone fuckign else its always a fucking slaughter, and those fucking M18'S

FUCK YOU M18 FUCKS FUUUCKK

Of fucking course the HEAT does fuck all

Every time I shoot a Tiger II shitter in the mantlet I only damage driver optics and radio gunner optics

Seriously fucking sucks

m18 are a shit though, severely uptiered, need several shots to kill a tonk, die from one return shot, bounce of panthers and tigers

The mobility over the M26 is nice, but the whole 5mm of pen added to the M82 shell plus a HEAT round locked behind the typical tier 4/5 RP wall isn't really worth it if it's your only 6.7 tank in the lineup, it's really only worth using as a backup

>Isn't this HEAT shell supposed to be HEAT-FS?

>have spade autism

how does people even manage to play these dead weights
it's the most boring shit ever

>it's another episode of nazi's bitching about m18s

scope out once and a while and you might see them coming for you

>Russian Planes
>Bad
user, I think you may have autism.

Man I bought the M46 for 1/2 off thinking it'll help me grind out Tier IV and I learned really fucking fast to just grind with the Cobra King

>reading comprehension
i didn't talk about all russian planes and i wasn't calling them bad
i complained about bombers in general being boring as shit to play

>They changed the F8F's red HVARs into brown
)))))))))))))))
I guess people using the only US prop aircraft with the only useful HVAR's in the game blasting both russian flying coffins and IS-6's pissed people off

>tfw bullying wehraboos

...

Why is the Spitfire LF Mk IX overperforming so much?

>turret turns slow as fuck
>by the time one is on my flank its already over

You fucks always camp our spawn too, fucking cunts

teeb bias is sharp and constant

>190 F-8 stock

woah you actual register hits with it? I can slam a round into a BT-7 at point blank and it doesn't even register.

>posted from my magic german railgun bunker

that's a funny way to spell g.55s

What's the difference between red/brown HVARs?

Nice deflection, teeb.

Reds would actually kill tanks with a direct hit, and also seemed more accurate to boot
meanwhile, you have to spray with the browns to do jack shit to a tank

>only a few planes with Tiny Tim's

I feel you user, I'm struggling to spade the second Ki-67 right now

Tell me about tiny tims, are they simply fun to use or were they historically important

OP IS A FAGGOT!!

THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY AN IS-2, YOU STUPID IDIOT!

>there are stock 6.7 vehicles that cannot frontally penetrate Tiger II Hs
>Wehraboo subhumans bitch about post war shells

some sniper shot to make the plane completely unusable while also making its tail even more aesthetic

was a result of a head-on with a bf-109 btw, dunno how

>Rocket-boosted 262's get to fight stock Vampires
fucking why

Can HE be used to reliably disable cannons/tracks?

>T29/T34 are just less maneuverable Tiger II Hs with a hull weak spot that can be one shotted by any tank in its BR range
>this is unacceptably overpowered and German players are incapable of dealing with them
The handholding is simply incredible.

What captured plane is that, looks nice with the US aesthetic design

I once took out an IS-3 for fun recently and had some autist in a Tiger II Sla rage at it

The fact that until recently the fucking IS-2 was 6.7 until they removed the D shell

ki-61
she is very pretty indeed

>get shredded by rounds from every plane on the block
>able to finish the match

>get hit once from fluke burst
>crash into the ground

don't forget, the T34 is stuck with solid shot, so its one-shot-kill potential is decreased if you blast at someone from the side, plus it cannot reliably penetrate the Tiger II's UFP, judging by my experience with it

Can the T34 even pen a Tiger II's upper glacis from the front?
