hey lohere
slavic magic, don't question it

Still waiting on the F-86F-40 devblog, it'll be here any day now

holy shit shut the fuck up gamertag

>more armor
because it's smaller
>mobility is as great
because it's small
>weighs only 36 tons
because it's small
>four slavs
slav tankers are canonically manlets

don't you have to be like under 5'3" to be a tanker in slavistan?

I'M NOT GAMERTAG, YOU STINKY MEANY HEAD

so slavs are the source of the manlets complaining about their height on the internet?

i have a feeling that WT will get T-72 instead of T-64

At least there isn't fucking markers

no because all the slav manlets are tankers
>gaijin said T-62 is supposed to be the highest to go for right now
>T-72 would be located behind the T-62, T-64 would be behind the T-10M
I don't think so

I don't know who that is and I'm not
or
I am just a guy who wants a good wholesome F-86F-40, as any free man of this good Earth should be entitled to.

>bought the charioteer
I've made a mistake

meh it leads to the Tortoise and FV4005
but if you researched it before you researched the Cent 1 or FV4202 you're in for a world of pain

no, you're just a shitter. You can pen a fucking jagdtiger superstructure with it and it sits at 6.3

So does the Centurion, but the Centurion can depress its gun, go in reverse, and doesn't die to a wirbelwind

>stock
>has no armor
>waah why can it pen a JT when it's lower than it
>doesn't die to a wirbelwind
>he hasn't seen the cent/caer turret armor glitch
)))

t-64 would have around 450mm of frontal armor which(right now) can only be penned by a couple ATGMs
t-72 on the other hand would only bring a gun competitive to what bongs have

>T-64 would have 450mm effective frontal armor
and literally only that
>probably weakspots around the gun barrel
>lower front plate
>gaijin's autism will probably give it a viewport weakness
>sides
>any penetrating shot will result in instant death
unless RNGesus decides to spare you this once

>can be penned by anything and their mothers
>no gun depression to actually use the good gun
>APDS isn't tier 1 modification research
>no reverse speed
>top speed isn't even that good
>turret is fuck huge and only 30mm thick
>no gun elevation
>6.3 so it faces Tiger 2's, Panther 2's
>Centurion is better than it in every possible way
>same repair cost as Centurion
sure.

russian forest camo looks like puke

>actual frontal armour is 370mm RHAe
>huge weakspot for drivers viewport
>turret front is effectively flat
>carousel loader so turret is effectively made out of rounds
I still want it though

You don't understand that Soviets purposefully imported fume-resistant Mongolian manlets for the implicit purpose of shoving in their steel clowncars.

When you toss out crew comforts and an average tanker height of like 5'6'' or less, yeah, you can make them pretty small. Which also means when they get hit, everyone fucking dies in the sardine can.

In comparison, American rolling hotels where you can clamber over your crew and someone can be wanking in the engine deck unseen, tend to survive being shot a little better because everyone isn't ass-to-face on top of one another in operation.

>leopard tier mobility
>7ish second reload
>still generally actual armor except in weakspots which people rarely aim for because they can only aim center of mass
it's still got at least that going for it

...

fun

>Which also means when they get hit, everyone fucking dies in the sardine can.
I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that average crew survivability in a T-34 in case of penetration was like 25%. Which meant that everyone in the turret just evaporated)))

>25%

>jumbo sides are inherently thicker than the front without the extra plate
????

tfw no devblogs

>when he wants gook tanks

o0o0o0o0oh Ahhhhhh~!
Another one of these!

Still have one more to research! :)

>wasting your time with meteors

I wil never understand how people think jets are fun.

I got to jets in two nations, played them both combined for less than 10 matches, and went back to prop planes at tiers 3 and 4.

You forget the T-64 has composite armor, it's 450 vs KE but 600+ vs HEAT, composite armor is the answer to ATGM shitters.

if people only played fun planes they'd only fly biplanes, the only thing wrong with jet battles is the waiting time to get in one

>this guy just climbed to 10km and bombed out your base

what do?

Wonder what is that thing doing in 4.7 BR.

nothing because its impossible to win by killing bases

dive on him and nig him with 4 30mms of balance

at least two of his friends died before dropping their loads, I'll just kill some tanks with my ADEN.

Newb here. Is there honestly anything I can do about "pilot knocked out" or do I just have to suck it up and git good

You can increase vitality but it's not worth it when G-Tolerance and Stamina exist. Also stop heading on.

upvote your pilot's vitality in the crew settings and watch him eat 30 mils like cereals

I learned in my first few matches heading on was stupid. But its never bad advice.
Thanks, I'll start dumping points into it

Jets are fun because the fights start sooner and last longer. You don't spend five to ten minutes climbing and hunting for a fight that's either decided in one minute or ends with a chase back to the airfield. Jets spend a couple minutes getting up to speed, meet, and start a drawn out battle of aim and energy management. When you run out of ammo or take damage, you can be back at the airfield and back in the fight very fast as well.

haha

I also have another question, is there a "right" way to use interceptors/heavy fighters? They're my favorite type of plane but every match I find myself surrounded by light fighters. if I do manage to get a shot in, I can never shake them

>implying he'd get past

3 if you count april fools map.

Good sign is at least the fact that those have been added fairly recently, so we might get some new ones this year.

most attackers have two engines because they need to go fast. Get the energy advantage on your target, dive on them and keep going straight until they disengage, get the energy advantage again and repeat.

>it has to be explicitly named to work as a postwar map
you babies, if the terrain is even a little similar, it doesn't matter what they call it

WHENS THE SUMMER EVENT
GIVE ME THE FUCKING EVENT

Thank you, Ill give it a go

>tfw no BTR-60 to drive around and dunk Leopardshitters from the sides/rear
>tfw no Greyhound or GMC M6 to meme on Panzer IV's and Tigerniggers
>tfw no Puma 75mm to wreck allied dipshits and zip away with ludicrous reverse speed
we need more AC's and IFV's, damnit
they break up the monotony of getting faceraped by walls of tigers, T-34's, and T-29's and being told to "just flank))))"
bigger maps would be a great bonus but with Gaijin at the helm we'll probably never get anything bigger than a few city blocks

>if I keep deluding myself then it's okay

tfw no homely slavic night witch gf

Why didn't the Germans make an anti tank recoilless rifle (a la M40 recoilless rifle)?

Third question, is it advantageous to use strictly cannons or strictly MG rounds as opposed to firing them at the same time? I assume if I'm shooting at a light target then maybe MG fire only would be sufficient

why didn't you?

what heavy fighter are you using?

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>tfw no Begleitpanzer 57 to wreck T-55s with the autocannon from sides and ATGMS frontally
Kill me.

At least it's been passed to developers via suggestions section on the forum. So there's hope.

What is the most heavily armored tank in the game bar none? T-10, Chieftain, Maus, M103?

tfw no Litvyak gf

Yeah, they'll get right on adding that
in the next 2-3 years

I have the Ki-45 Otsu, the J1N1 and the Ki-45 ko

>bundebabbies needing more broken garbage when they're already the best for T5

depending on situation. If outnumbering enemy vastly it was around 50%, because tanks once hit usually weren't targeted again, which gave crew better chances to GTFO before being roasted alive.
With roughly equal numbers, like most T-34-85 vs M4A3(76)W engagements in Korea, it was much worse, because American doctrine called for hitting immobilized tanks until destruction was confirmed.

Depends on the heavy fighter really, some are garbage and should never be used for anything but groundpounding or arcade (Me-410s, Do-217s, mosquitos) some can function pretty much the same as a regular fighter, just faster and heavily armed (P-38s, F7F, F-82) and the BF110 and early Jap heavy fighters are literal rape machines.

I usually have MGs on LMB and cannons on an extra mouse button so I can use either individually or both when I need it.

Hey man, I am all for adding all sorts of cool vehicles for every nation. Currently everything is dominated b MBTs, which is not ideal to say the least.

>implying it's not still dominated by atgmniggers

What nation has the best heavy fighters?

Last time I checked ATGMs arent any more common than MBTs. Besides I am talking skinny vehicles like BMP, BTR or other what have you.

Gaijin fixed all the flight models so they're all made out of paper

>keep getting 50% discounts for the japanese 109
>give in, finally buy it even though I don't need it
>immediately get a 30% discount for the B-17
FUUUUCK OFFFFF

>Try my luck with the Falcon in sim again
>No enemy planes spawn as usual
>Get rocketed by one of our Sabres

This thing is the epitome of suffering.

yeah they're the best heavy fighters good choice. Be careful cause enemy planes can still be very fast so make sure you're getting a big energy advantage on them. Also you might want to set a key for firing small caliber weapons only, i use spacebar. This way you can save the 37mm rounds for bombers and use the 20mm cannons on fighters

>rocketed by a teammate
>in a falcon
what the fuck does the enemy team have that even looks like you

Mi-35 back when?

>the april fools joke was that youd have fun for once and then they'd take it away

His excuse was terrain clipping made me look like a Russian tank, American pilots are retarded so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

I warned you yesterday.

>rocket didn't actually do anything to the gepard but it hull broke it because)))))))
