So i'm noticing that I just randomly get battle trophies sometimes (fuck off gaijin i'm not buying a premium even with an AMAZING 30% discount). Anyone know what the trigger for them is?

>be churchill
>peak your front for half a second
>get oneshot the the weakspot

always happen only against ruskies

I honestly prefer the gameplay and customization in WT. When people start talking about flight or damage models is when its just splitting hairs and not worth you worrying about until you've put significant time in both.

Only retards call WT a genuinely bad game while holding up IL-2/DCS as the holy grail of flight sims when they're still so similar.

What is it about Leopards that makes them get nuked by even a small tank shell, but then they soak up 2-3 ATGMs just fine?

That has to be the most frustrating game I've had in a long time.

You can change loadout/fuel if you J out after your plane respawns.

The F-84 gets an automatic airspawn, so you can't do that without landing twice, and that was simply too dangerous on that map with no cover.

Quick, what's the fastest way to grind SL that doesn't involved the shitfest that is Arcade? Not above buying a cheapish premium for it.
I need to grind out well over a million for for the two G.91s.
I usually do B-29, but it's boring a fuck and less reliable now that it can be intercepted by F-84s.

Tu-4?
or just some fun premium in RB

>steal code from the modern vehicles event
>call it your own and try to sell it on top of that

I'm not clicking that, nigga.

Anything that can be used to either bomb a lot of bases or shoot a lot of ground targets.

>werhaboos shitting the bed about the M46 getting HEAT-FS
>they don't even mention the STA-1 getting the same exact round at 6.3 br
Really puts the brain cells in motion

youtu.be/KMXjyluC8bg?t=805

Spaced armor.

april fools didnt have lock on missiles

A tier III premium attacker/bomber.

>spaced armor meaning anything to anything barring HESH in WT
you make me laugh

the helicopters had lock on missiles

Weren't those guided by mouse?

No, they were just mouse guided like the later ATGMs.

nigga those were mouse guided

>being this retarded

best planes to grind SL with? All I got are some tier3 ruskies, t2 bongs and japs

Are barrel rolls a validity defensive maneuver?

Groundpounders and bombers. Premiums if you have them. You can actually look at the SL boost at the bottom of the stat card.

I can forgive them for forgetting about the STA-1, but forgetting the Ru-251 which is better in pretty much every way (except for the useless armor and unreliable APHE) is unforgivable
The only reason they aren't even fucking worse is the Ru-251 costs 40 fucking dollars, while all the STA-1 requires is your dignity and peace of mind

Maybe because the M46 is an actually functioning tank with not absolutely dogshit armor and some decent mobility.

Any premium fighter (P-47M, jap corsair, etc.) and fighters in general
Groundpounding and bombing give less SL in my experience.

>M46
>not dogshit armor
100mm is no better than 50mm at tier IV, it sucks ass.

It can atleast stop SPAA rounds for christ's sake.

>>mfw charged back but only got negative GE
they are very kind, most of the companies permaban you on charging back (you often can waive it off via support if you return the money)

that's the stuff you only do when you are already permabanned

So why should I ever pick the Stug F when the Panzer IV F2 has the same gun, BR and a turret?

well I charged back with the permission of support, I didn't just do it without asking them

I've been wondering, what are those boosts based on anyway? I thought it was br but it's definitely not.

To watch Moe, Larry, and Curly get hit by a single ap shell frontally that ko's your assault gun.

It seems entirely random, just like the prices of Talismans. Maybe it one point it had to do with BR (or tier for planes that old) but at this point things have been moved around so much it's not clear.

you should complain to the support again then

Which is the best 20mm ShVAK belt?

ground

Universal or tracer

slav HEF rounds are pretty bad, but their FI-T rounds are actually somewhat good

What the fuck is up with japanese planes and pulling out fires? I literally just saw a guy in a zero being set on fire twice in a row and pulling them out 5s later like it was nothing.

202 or 202ec, what's the best plane to its br? 202 is likely bullied by kittyhawks

>pulling
*putting

After all the buffs, kittyhawks bully everything.

>bomb-bay opening animation for the B-57B doesn't play anymore
how did they fuck that up??

They are Outsourcing Devs since 4-5 big updates ago, just take a look into the quality of news Maps and Models in the Last Updates.

it actually ended in 1945 with the fall of the RSI

oh yaaaaaaa

ok, but what's better for a comfort tier 2 play - 202 or 202ec?

Ba88

Almost finished grinding out the Achilles to go with my Churchill Mk.III at 4.0. Is the Achilles pretty okay or is it secretly even more painful than the other Brit stuff so far?

The 17 pounder is bretty gud at that tier, but really it plays exactly like the normal m10, a little more powerful, a little higher br.

>take it out for the very first time
>'that's weird why is my turret traverse already broken???'

Are the claps now the preeminent tank nation?

american bias

so can this engine catch on fire?

it will overheat and stop

youtube.com/watch?v=pGznndVloz8

it's way more painful but because of the gun handling
but when you actually hit something, it just feels you're giving it a good sucker punch

the breda is overtierd

It feels like such a bitch to use. But wow the hits I got were like very, very precise nukes.

Okay.

Where do you shoot an IS-6 to get through its armor when it's actively working to face you

RU and STA can get pen from anywhere by any SPAA and ,more important, from fucking 0.50 cal. Your Meme-46 dont suffer from that.

turret face
I've gotten through with 20pdr APCBC, nazicunts should have no issues slicing through it

mmkay

)))))balance

Does anyone else place emblems over places that you can safely take hits, either due to armour or nothing important there, to draw the eye there and hopefully a few tankable shots?

No, it's still Slavs with Britain equalling them in late tier 4/tier 5.

Classified Papers, mein herr.

>don't even bother trying to dodge a nuke

Either that screenshot is bullshit or there are 3 or 4 teamkills you're not showing. I've never seen a PE-8 drop in GF and not kill teammates.

Glorious 5 ton bread basket, comrade)))))

gotta keep naziboos happy

>Not realizing the K in Kwk43 is Kraut(spacemagic)wagenkrieger 43
Sorry to burst your bubble, Kameraden

the poor ai tank died too

>still no infantry targets
>can't roleplay as a rhodesian bombing the fuck out of commie niggers with my canberra

If it helps, there's infantry in some Front Lines air missions I think. Seen up-close videos of them. You could go bomb them.

you could always make a user mission, they're in game files

Seriously, I get that the M3A1 has HEAT-FS and the M82 nuke round and all but holy fuck is the reload painful on such a mediocre gun
Remember when the M48 was actually good for like a week when it's reload was ~7 seconds?

Anyone here driven the M60A2? Thoughts?

Big, slow, can only take hits as well as the base M60 (read: not at all), and the gun is absolutely terrible until you get the Shillelagh
You're probably better off just scooting around with the Sheridan
