/wtg/ - War Thunder General

10th for the G.91 is literally a MiG-15 at br 8.0

mmm... bread

BMP 1 WITH MALYUTKA WHEN

What bunkers are you talking about?

Only if they used it to keep balance.

No thanks, Gaijin did the right thing not to include all the paper shit.

Hey man, cut them some slack. They're using some of the worst tank designs in history.

>Actually believing the memes

Prototype planes that actually flew and have some flight data and specs available but weren't put into active service are ok. But fuck paper shit that was never even built (see the R2Y2, and we fucking have 3 of them).

If their tanks weren't awful they wouldn't have lost the war.

>Tanks decide wars

*catches fire while driving off the train cart*
Heh,
*can't rotate turret because on uneven terrain*
nothing personel.
*sides get penetrated by Soviet anti-tank rifles*
Kid.

everytime

Are turboprops less affected by altitude than piston engines?

wyvern is shit at high altitudes

Ouch, that must've hurt to watch.

>literally describing Soviet tanks
lmao

Genuinely horrified until I realised the scale and that it was RC planes, derp.

*engine overheats*
Heh,
*transmission breaks down*
nothing personel.
*crew dies from spalling*
Kid.

*cant find hammer to shift gear

Doing brit planes, still only at Tier 2. Gotten my fighters for now and decided to start on the bomber line (hampden, sunderland, wellington, halifax, stirling, etc.). Is there a particular point where they become good? I've heard nothing but shit about british bombers and don't have any at the BR that i'm playing at yet that I want to try out.

Bombers are shit and useless since they don't fit any of the maps or modes.

Was the transmission that bad on the T-34?

when?

Even the really gun-covered ones that just shit out bullet hoses and one-pass bases?

when?

I think that may have more to do with the Wyvern not having a that high power to weight ratio combined with a very high wingloading

>post motivated me to play some German tonks again
>whip out my Tiger II (P) and head into battle
>Normandy against Soviets
We won.
But by god what enjoyment do people exactly get out of high tier Germans?
By the end of the match I was hoping some random Slav might shoot me so it'll finally be over. It's just so dull. You drive in a giant bunker at a top speed of 10km/h, point your gun at a Slav and evaporate him. It actually made me remember why I stopped playing Germany in tier 4. This is the dullest shit imaginable.
Do people actually like this kind of gameplay?

first couple of gears needed strenght to shift in, last one neede fucking hammer or slav on steroids

Thats what i've heard

Some do.
Some just like german tanks.
And some like a bit of challenge.
I personally don't like it when 90 % of the time you get matched up against go-karts with ammo that makes your armor irrelevant and ricochet-city russian tanks.

They are shit until you reach the Halifax then the go back to being shit until you get the wellingtons which are just ok.

first Gaijin would have to decompress 5.0 - 7.0, so paper designs and never accepted tanks don't throw any resemblence of balance out of window.

What's this "balance" you're talking about?

>you didn't get matched up with post-wars
Consider your self lucky friend, Otherwise you'd be up against Meme-62s and the rest of his cold war buddies.

If you want the real high tier experience, jump into a Leopard and see how long you can last. Bonus points if the first shell to actually hits you only sets the crew on fire.

Speaking of Leo's what is their most effective shell, anyway? Ever since HESH now has actual effects of when it fails, I feel like it's Gaijin basically telling me to fuck off.

When?

>jump into a Leopard and see how long you can last
Wish I had a Leopard or Jgpz 4-5 actually. They seem sanic and fun.
But I just don't have the willpower to grind them. The Panther II and Jagdtiger are cucking me out of researching these vehicles.

help, i've never bothered to get into tanks in any nation. Is there a good starting point? from what I've read here is that german tanks are useless, is that true?

ok Lohere

>it's either clubbing late WW2 allied tech or getting clubbed by tanks from the 60s
So then why do people even like Tiger IIs?
Both varieties of MM you get with them seem awful.

not him tho

Don't get into tanks.
It's really awful and the grind is way worse than planes.
If you play plons don't make the mistake of playing tonks. Stay away from them.
Comet show titties pls. ;_;

Okay you filthy communists give me a rundown on following deathtraps:
T-44
T-44-100
T-54 mod. 1947
T-54 mod. 1949
T-54 mod. 1951
T-62

KV-2/IS-2 when?

>T-44
speedy weedy bouncy house ufp
>T-44-100
speedy weedy bouncy house UFP with 10mm of )))))
>T-54 mod. 1947
))))))))))))))))))))) incarnate
>T-54 mod. 1949
overtiered and shit
>T-54 mod. 1951
gets HEATFS, still shit
>T-62
breddy gud

>T-54 mod. 1947
~210 armor + 50 mm hidden behind turret front))))))

>even in death I still serve

First off don't get into tanks.
Here's a quick rundown on nations:

>Germany
Overall pretty good from tier 1-3, tanks have decent guns and mobility, from late tier 3 onwards tanks have poor to awful mobility but good guns and armor. Have to face tanks from post-war period though.
>USSR
Overall pretty good at any tier. Decent balance of armor, firepower and mobility.
>USA
Light and tank destroyer line let you go sanic and appear behind your enemies. Decent medium tank line but kinda inferior to the Soviets overall.
>UK
Rapid fire cannons at low tier and excellent mobility. Also good heavies with the Churchill. They suck in tier 3 though since their most common gun requires you to snipe every individual enemy crewman. You can penetrate people's tanks across the map though.
>Japan
Kinda weird and very mysterious.

MUST....CRUSH.....FASCISTS

Believe it or not, you'll get so sick and tired of getting eaten alive by everything in the Leopard even with the speed you'll actually prefer the Panther II. That and the explosive filler stock rounds. But that's just me.

I think it's the mystique of driving the Tiger II in general. Getting an even matchup is kind of fun, but it almost never happens because people don't tend to play tier 4 specifically because of the postwar menace.

Comet is underage you cant see her nipples.

How do you fight nigfires in a 109k4

>"Syria had six Jagdpanzer IVs operational on 6 June 1967. One was destroyed by an Israeli tank. Surprisingly, the remaining five were retained by the Syrian army. They made no appearance during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. During the Desert Shield / Desert Storm period in 1990-1991, when Syria and the USA were briefly allies, the remaining five Jagdpanzer IVs were listed as “arsenal-level (long-term warehoused) assets” at al-Zabadani army base north of Damascus."
It's only a matter of time until we see them in action again, isn't it?

Press J

"The Jadgpanzer IV was not very active, and had more losses than wins. Smart players will, keep these in reserve until just the right moment ))))))" t. Small Family Company

Probably won't see any Jagdpanzers though.
Al-Zabadani was heavily fought over, so even if the Syrians haven't scrapped them until now, they most likely got destroyed during the fighting.

>sandniggers reenacting WW2 with t-34-85s fighting jagdpz IVs

>sandniggers also reenacting WT with t-55s fighting jagdpz IVs

fucking muddies having all the fun
civil war in Europe when?
I want to shoot shit

Leave the Jumbo-Sherman to me

>MUST....CRUSH.....FASCISTS
t. communism

does anyone here have that thing where you could make the graphics super crisp? I think it involved setting config.blk to read-only so the launcher wouldn't fuck it

>russian dickhead just bombs you with his plane before you get to the fight
Wow WT really is realistic

this crisp ?

TDs ARE CUTE
CUUUTEEE

Thats funny how i pen it with just 235 on long 88

>Breda Ba.65 is the tier 1 ground attacker for Italy
>It's somehow a reserve
>Nothing can be added before it
>We will not get the Ground attack model Cr.32
>We will not get the Ground attack model Cr.42

why live.

They'll just add them after the Ba.65.
Same way the G-14 somehow comes after the G-10 or the T-55 after the T-62.

>high as full sized tank
>no gun depression
>huge piece of flat armor under the gun
worst german TD, and somehow premium

2bad4regulartree

panzerwerfer is considered tank destroyer in game)))

Get this fucking war criminal off my general.

>flying at transonic speeds with no canopy has no consequences

>persecuting innocent Native American's with a penchant for up close and personal
baka desu, commiefam

Natives are the most privileged minority and therefor bourgeois scum and must be destroyed for the liberation of proletariat.

Blue cockpit light is the comfiest shit.

Are Soviet SPGs kinda unpopular by any chance?
I don't think I've seen any SU-85, SU-152 or ISU vehicles in RB for some time.

I like the 85 but have to wonder about the rest of the line.

>Americans have been surprisingly non-retarded in the last few games I played
Did something happened?

If for some utterly bizarre reason the only turbine planes that'd have ever flown were turboprops, what would have been the ultimate prop fighter design?

Congrats you now know that burgers actually is the only choice in this game

>drive out in my SU-100
>get uptiered
>hit by ATGM using faggot from across the map
youtube.com/watch?v=CoOtxFB8eWQ

Thanks Gaijin.

Get su-100, its small its fucking fast and it has shell with 240 mm pen... if i would get su-122p discount 50 or 75 i would immediately buy it.

Isu-122 its bit tricky because it has somewhat semi armor and you can hide most of your tank behind wall(gun area is kinda bouncy) But thing is they're slow as fuck. If you're going further skip su-122 54, get Obj 258

SU-152 is probably my favorite Soviet tank.

Their first couple spgs are not good so people just don't play the ones with high velocity guns.

How dead out of 10 is GF arcade? Havent played in a while and thinking about downloading the game to kill few dozen hours.

I dont want to play the latest tier either, I am perfectly happy driving around in my panther and tiger I.

Not dead at all. I'm usually finding games in less than a minute even in the middle of the night.

Cool, I might give it a shake again, thanks.

Anything of significance happened in the game in the last ... 9 months? Dont really want to go through all of the changelogs.

Weeb tanks happened. I haven't played them personally, but they're nothing spectacular and not many people plays them.

Ha I got memed into playing nips once at the very beginning when we only had planes. Already enjoyed enough being set on fire.

Thanks.
