/wtg/ - War Thunder General

when spaced armor actually means anything against HEAT

when

Did they really plan to go this far?

...

no

>tfw I stopped playing jets and went back to tier 2-3 bongs because they're more fun

When what? I don't see anything in your pic

who the fuck thought a 45 ton vehicle going on a wooden bridge would work

Germans.

What's a good tier IV grinding tank these days /wtg/?

>reinstall WT after a long break to check out some of the new tanks

why are they so fucking tall?
It looks like they have absolutely no gun depression either

Nice try, but your story is obviously fake. No girls play War Thunder.

Forgot pic

Cute! :3

that's a nice kazoo

messer used it in his K-4 video and it goes pretty well with pulling retarded maneuvers to outskill spitnogs

>tfw you're blessed enough to get a rookie golden battles wager
>tfw the only way you can realistically not complete a stage is your team losing
>tfw your team loses

>not playing vehicles with insane winrates
your fault desu

Panzer IIIL, Wirbelnigger and Panzer IV F2. And with a kill count to match each time. Honestly this should just be a cakewalk but I guess anything short of 100% win rate isn't really a guarantee, after all.

take teeb 6.7 if possible
I don't have a single tank around that BR range with a W/R under 70%

Sadly not. Germans up to 5.7, britbong up to 4.7. I'd use my planes (I've got a hitlerbolt lineup and the obvious spitfires/hurricanes) but those feel less consistent in terms of actually getting kills. Too much sparks and hit))) for something where I need to get definite kills.

>still no 50mm APCBC

>every single german vehicle has >50% wr on thunderskill
>haha it's not the vehicles it's the players xD

that's because it literally is
I consistently get at least 5 kills playing german tanks

post proof

But it's true. Naziboo players are worse than vatniks and yankees combined.

>german teams keep losing because they're so shit
>german teams keep winning because their vehicles are so OP

Make up your mind if you want to whine.

What's the best way to spurge GE? Bought a premium plane and have excess GE now

that looks like a school uniform

use it on premium time

F-86F-40 when, bucko?
>The wing slats and the increased wing area markedly improved the handling, especially at low speeds. The low-speed roll-and-yaw problem which had plagued the "6-3" F-86F Sabres was largely eliminated. Stalling speed was reduced from 144 mph to 124 mph, and 800 feet were shaved from the takeoff ground run. The slat actuators and wingtip extensions added about 250 pounds to the weight, but performance was almost identical to that of a standard F-86F.

>more F-86F-40 autism
fuck off gamertag

t. scared mig pilot

So is this worth using or should I just skip it and focus on getting the T95E1

>implying I fly those pieces of literal garbage
please, I'm not a masochist
good but literally outclassed in every way by something else lower
conqueror is BS desu, I love it

>Stalling speed was reduced from 144 mph to 124 mph

Is this really so important for a jet?

post battle damage

It's a Sabre that trades speed for maneuverability, so yes. In real life the shorter takeoff run was valuable.

>all these burger tanks with pintle fiddies
>none of them are M3s

>aircraft-specific machinegun instead of infantry model as issued to crews in general
why would you want that anyway

>he doesn't know infantry can use the M3 as well
plus killing LAVs faster
and BRRRRRRT for burger to intensify

>not wanting to blind and deafen an enemy tank with high impact BMG violence

I find it more of a shame MG 151s were not mounted on tank pintle mounts. The gun has the same weight and dimensions as a Deuce.

>german tanks with a tumor that has an MG 151
I want this

>see webm of M103 one shotting KT through the UFP
>try it out for myself
>passes inbetween all the crew members
can someone explain pls?
also can someone post that webm again?

blame RNG
randomly shot a 20pdr APDS through a KT's MG port and his MGer and turret crew all died

I just want a swept-wing F-84 instead of the not-operational hunk of shit B model the USA gets.

infantry can use the M3, but the parts arent all compatible with M2s and a lower rate of fire makes them more controllable to fire.
These fuckers kick hard and you're shaken to fuck by even infantry-model M2s.
I know it'd be fucking great tho.
someone pintle-mounted 151s to something, but it sure wasnt a tank

>Reddit spacing

Why the fuck is the F-82 5.0? It does literally everything as good or better than a tigercat except climb but it's at fucking 5.0 and gets an airspawn on top of that.

>Packet loss on takeoff
8 MINUTE CREW LOCK)))

They made anti-air variants in the later stages too.

Because head-on effectiveness is not a valid measure of vehicle strength, no matter how many kills it gets you.
What's more impressive is that the F7F used to be what, 7.0 BR after the BR increase but before the performance nerf? What did they do to the poor thing that it's at 5.3 and still not good...

>Because head-on effectiveness is not a valid measure of vehicle strength, no matter how many kills it gets you.
It's not that, it's as fast as a bearcat on the deck. The only weaknesses I can think of are stall speed and roll rate and sustained turn, but other than that in the hands of a barely competent pilot you're completely untouchable.

is there any reason to not use tracers on fiddies that get M20s

Why don't we have that
We should have that

When you go on the dev server do you only have your Live version unlocks or is everything available to you?

yes, the M20 API-T round didn't get the AP damage buff and does less overall damage than AP-I or M23 incendiary

>as fast as a bearcat on the deck
Oh, so you mean "pretty slow". Also when thinking of the F-82 "can't climb" and "can't turn" come to mind.
What I don't understand is why it's a higher BR than the P-51s even though it's worse in every measure except head-on effectiveness and external stores weight.

still shreds people from my experiences with it
it also feels like I'm shooting lit matchsticks at the enemy

Just live version unlocks, though I heard somewhere that you get a stupid amount of GE to unlock things to play around with them, don't know if it's true though.

Use Ground so you can kill pillboxes when the last enemy wants to run away instead of fight. They're very effective against aircraft.

>Oh, so you mean "pretty slow"
670kph isn't that slow especially compared to the planes it faces
>Also when thinking of the F-82 "can't climb" and "can't turn" come to mind.
It can climb though, better than a D-30, and it doesn't turn that badly
>What I don't understand is why it's a higher BR than the P-51s even though it's worse in every measure except head-on effectiveness and external stores weight.
It's much faster and climbs better

Gaijin makes by interval a copy of your account that you can use on the Dev server when it opens. It's not known when they do it before the Dev server opens, so you just gotta be lucky I guess (by having certain vehicles already unlocked and having an abundance of eagles). The only thing they'll throw at you is a x10 multiplier for faster grinding. Shame it's not x100 though.

>Bring out my me-262
>spend 5 minutes sideclimbing because I'm stock
>finally arrive to fight only to be swarmed by 3 props and f-84s with no backup because my team is busy dogfighting merlin spits at sea level

It is not worth playing stock jets. Everyone who plays it are the ones who managed to get past the stock grind.

>tfw no ship cbt

what would happen if you put a griffon in a yak-3

It's weird we don't have more Halftracks/armored cars in game.

We've had the M3 for years, and the first german AC was made for the CBT of GF right?

would probably separate from the airframe

...

I don't think the Bongs or Soviets even fucking bothered with their own half-tracks

You would create Bias, balancer of games)))))))

>tfw no M8 greyhound to physically remove Tigers with

you'd get a plane with almost twice the power to mass of an LF mk IX

it'd probably rip its wings in level flight

We really need more halftracks and armored cars in the game, they're cool as hell
I also like what one user said a while ago, about dropping the spawn cost for halftracks and armored cars to SPAA levels, to make them an option for people who get one-shot at the start of the match and give them a second chance

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIS-5_(truck)
there were a couple half track variant. look at the zis 43 ingame
