/wtg/ - War Thunder General

Sit here and remember the good times. Do you remember ai pzII's unloading magazines into hills? Do you remember the pillboxes shooting teammates on jungle?

I miss the gamemode where you watched a plane fall to earth then had to secure the site of the crash and retrieve the sekrit dokumints, even if it was just the precursor to "see that one 15x15 foot space on the ground? hold that spot for no particular reason"
the capture points that would appear halfway through the match with the big box in the middle was nice too, helped sway the battle sometimes
>tfw ground forces will never ever be un-fucked and made kind of fun again
>tfw the power creep will continue, the russian post-wars will get put even lower on the BR scale, and 40$ memebunkers and racecars will forever rule the 6.7-7.0 black hole

but you also didn't post a link to the previous thread...

Yeah that was fun. I remember it could also appear as a d point in the standard 3 point maps for a quick ticket cut. Also
>the hordes of trucks on Kursk
>The ai Stukas and il2s that appeared over the battlefield.
Man early ground forces was broken as fuck but they really did a good job of boiling away any creativeness left on the bones.

ship cbt fucking when

>5"/38 caliber gun
>Base ring mounts with integral hoists had a nominal rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute per barrel; however, with a well-trained crew, 22 rounds per minute per barrel was possible for short periods.
How much you want to bet Gaijin will nerf the living fuck out of it for balans ))))?

gaijin never nerfs america

What is this? Is this some kind of orbital gun firing on the battlefield?

>try to play 6.7 americans
>constantly put into 7.3 and 7.0 matches against swarms of T-54's and IS-6's
>very rarely see even a single T32 or M47 on our team
at least M46 gets HEAT-FS
can't wait to see it bumped up to 7.0 because )))

that's what artillery looks like from a distance, irc artillery is fired from each teams airfield

>guy spawns cromwell in top tier
>caps one and Js out
>spawns in firefly

>spawns in Sea Fury
Pacific_Star6 you are the worst kind of cancer.

shouldn't matter you're already up there anyways.

They really need to limit to 1 plane per faggot per match, meaning it's theoretically possible for only 1 or 2 planes to exist in an entire match if most people are cool.

Redpill me about World War mode, any testers here?

That or make planes more expensive in GF.

>32 stars
>9 stripes
Gaijin HQ hit by nuke when?

is the flag not historically accurate?

not a burger btw

The US had 48 stars and 13 stripes in 1944, no its not correct, its about 100 years too late.

...

tfw no F-100

w h e n

why do AI tanks smoke?

[Kills pilot in american]

fuuuuuuuuckck that a dumb tou fucking stopp positng nigger dont listen to them fucking stop posintging it stop posting iiiiiiiiiiiit

...

>germans were stupid enough to fly in these
top kek

>europoors flying american fighters without taking their liberty booster shots

they were forced to by the government above them.
Bubi tried to get them removed from service but he was stopped at every attempt

Game really dead? I'm back to playing after like, a full year of not doing so and I'm not seeing a lot of players in matches, though the queue seems about as full as it was when I left. I am queuing up for reserve Nip tanks and low-tier Clappers though.

the slavs are asleep

cyka

>The US had 48 stars and 13 stripes in 1944, no its not correct, its about 100 years too late.

the flag that was sung by walt whitman before it got fat with additional stars and stripes

>But I am not the sea nor the red sun,
>I am not the wind with girlish laughter,
>Not the immense wind which strengthens, not the wind which lashes,
>Not the spirit that ever lashes its own body to terror and death,
>But I am that which unseen comes and sings, sings, sings,

>see american plane in the distance
>it's automatically pointing it's note to me initiating a headon

every. time.

Pointing its nose I mean.

they are very playful indeed

>see a G.55S/Bf 109/Fw 190 in the distance
>they point their nose at me to force a headon even if they're at lower energy

Shitters are Shitters

>g.55s
>ever at lower energy

>see eurocraft in distance
>has the name of a real life historical pilot
>tries some basic shit to try and get out of a head-on
>pilot snipe him with the righteous judgement of John Moses Browning

what do you think if skill even counts in the modern aerial combat? nowadays it seems purely technical advantage and air superiority where a skilled pilot can do nothing vs an average pilot in a better plane

hint: you aren't the skilled pilot

one shouldn't be a skilled cook to appreciate a dish

Alright fellow burgers, here's the real question. Air Force or Navy?

>give a tank a pintle fiddy
>give it 2 degrees of horizontal traverse
good going burgers, you fuck up designs for the billionth fucking time

give them both a try and see what you like better, they both have their own differences and it's tough to tell you which one is better

I prefer Air Force because fast

Hellcat >>> every other american plane

>P-51D-30

Air Force, Gaijin has some kind of problem with naval aviation and shits all over navy planes for some reason. Maybe cause Russia doesn't have any?

>pull in behing Su-6 in P-63
>connect 2 37 rounds
>both hits
>one of his fiddies hits me
>entire right wing ripped off and engine on fire
what the fuck

>get C.202EC
>instagibbed by spitnigger
xD

beercat

also how is banshee?

desu i want to get g.91 so i would fight burgers but not russians,

Did Bubi himself get removed from service for being too loud about his dislike for the Starfighter?

You should point this out to Gaijew somehow.
It's one of those minor things they may actually fix.

He was removed for crashing a Starfighter into a bread factory.

i have heard that some italian fighters had different lengths for their right and left wings to prevent the torque effect from their prop

does it mean they are good for sb like, say, wyvern?

what fighters are those?

Jesus, what's this madman's issue with bread factories?
The Macchi fighters all have that feature. Not sure about the Fiats though.

Slow, turns like a brick, shitty acceleration. wont rip though. But at 8.0 because 20mms ))))))))

>Playing anything other than the Jugs
You should've seen it coming

already died in my jug, in which I killed 2 dumb slavshits who decided to just head on me

>Italy released
>hoping to see Malta again
>every game is just the same Bulge or Ruhr
Bulge, Ruhr and Berlin removed from Italian rotation when?

>flak bus hits my flat mantlet on my jumbo
>takes a 90 degree turn down directly into my ammo
no bias)))

Why does Gaijin set the spawn to airfield sometimes for interceptors?
It's fucking retarded when you press Enter without realising it was set to airfield for no reason other than )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

why the fuck is the IS-2 still at 5.7
the 1944 needed a buff, not the original one

Red Alert crossover when?
youtube.com/watch?v=lJnMaTx4yjI

>decide to drive KV-1 L11
>Carpathians
>bots are driving higher BR vehicles than me
Nice MM Gaijin

>The 1944 needed a buff

NiBBa at this point it's more paper than the E-100 with all the armor schemes Gaijin threw together to give it the best possible protection

KV-1 drivers strike me as pleasant people, I don't know why

They don't fall for the T-34 temptation yet aren't as obnoxious as Tigger driving naziboos

KV-85 chillest heavy

and how is that the case

How's the KV-1S actually?
I was looking forward to it but they added it while I was on a break from WT.

It's a sidegrade
Mobility gets improved quite a bit but your armor goes down to medium levels

>still no summer event

has there seriously been no Bote cbt since March?

dont know
dont care

we had one a few weeks ago testing destroyers

Why is it okay that p40s face biplanes?

...

>the spastika

>only have to add something like a diagonally turned balkenkreuz to finish it

I'm okay with this.

Which Japanese tanks actually saw combat in WW2?
I know that most their tier 2 tanks were produced but kept in reserve for the defense of the home islands.
Did their assault guns see more combat or were they also reserved for the home islands?

Kys filthy Nazi

Whats up with panther F and II turrets, they're slightly sloped so if it should bounce its upwards but in game its quite often bounces downwards ???

What about the gun mantlet?

>F and II turrets
>bouncing shit
hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

nah, even happense with side shots into turret,done it with apds too

the turret itself doesn't but the barrel

why is the a-20g so shit

>a-20
>shit
Also, you probably weren't even playing the game when that shit was sonic incarnate
