xth for ship cbt when, ww mode when etc..

While you were memeposting I studied the F-86F-40 fucking when Gaijin

Grinding out credits with BV 238 and premium. Credits printer, but holy shit is it boring.

T24E1 when?

when will belgium be added

how much you pull down a round

my good goy typhoon nets me over 150k SL a (good) round in arcade

T88 HMC when?

...

>release the T-64, 9.3BR, with ERA

proofs?

>another Sabre

When

when

When?

cold war events when

about 50k a round, just bomb the base then the airfield then quit if you want, or bait planes to attack.


Its worse than arcade round grinding, but its waaaay more hands off. I am only tabbed in for about 1min

No amount of whenposting will ever truely fix what's wrong with the game. The game's issues are with stale boring maps, boring game modes, and the terrible BR system.

Captcha related

Fucking When?

I replied to myself like a fucking moron, check the other reply.

I guess it is 3am after all.

Fixed BR, better maps and interesting game modes WHEN?

We need a lot of things but shooting for the moon killed the flight sim genre once already

>fixing a bunch of issues that could be easily remedied
>shooting for the moon

Fuck off

So when are they going to add this?

>adding new maps
>>Norway
>boring game modes
>>Agree but again Norway
>terrible BR system
>>actually believing we can get something better when it's this or oblivion of tigerwank historical matchmaking

Considering getting into this shit, which nation has the best fighter planes? I couldn't care less about ground pounding.

Italy

Depends on your playstyle, do you prefer dogfighting and turning at slow speeds or hit and run style where you dive on a fag and run away after shooting him for a bit?

Britain is the only true answer. They get both the fastest and second most agile planes.

yeah but they sure don't have both in one until T4

perfidious

>[Frontline]

So if I research this sabre I still wont be able to fly it right?

Nope. Need to purchase previous plane)))

Well I have britbong and japan in tier V and russia/germany in tier IV. I haven't touched tanks and kind of want to main only one country. I think I'm split between Russia and Japan.

Russia is the most handheld shit. If you want that, go for it. I'd suggest bongs, though. After Tier 3, your suffering pays off.

Just downloaded this a couple of days back, and I'm getting fucked left and right so I think I might be doing something wrong. I kept hearing about how good British tanks are and how they're only second to Russian but I'm getting one shot by everything. Fucking everything, it doesn't matter if they're shooting me from point blank or a thousand metres away fucking everything one shots me. And if I do play it safe and shoot first, unless the shot kills them they turn around before I'm done reloading and fucking 1 shot me. I mean sure the crusaders/cromwells aren't the most sturdy tanks but it feels like anything that isn't a fucking AA gun is going to win against me unless I get the jump on them, and even they stand a chance since the armor is pretty much non-existent and they can just chew through it head on. These tanks aren't even that fast either, the tier 1/2 American tanks easily overtake them. What am I doing wrong?

alright, explain this
>more armour frontally than the king tigger

Fucking focke-cucks, when will they learn?

Been out of the game for a while, what kind of flavor did they to the Japanese tanks? Like how germans have better guns, and the russians better armor.

>post anime
>claim you're superior to someone in a game
Can't make this shit up

Kys, focke-fuck.

kys, focke-cuck.

What suffering, it's miles better than nipps and the United States of Sherman

everyone laugh at this retard who has no idea what he's talking about

Please, do tell me how are their racecars worse than those fat piece of shit shermans or the nipp shitboxes. No, solid shot is not a valid argument.

Dumb weebs actually have some excellent vehicles. Their long 75 is >>>>> the clap 76 and they get it at a hilariously low BR. They just also have some really bad low points.

how do i use the ZSU-37? I can't hit shit with it, well except for a bomber plane diving on me i suppose.

Look at the bounce chance against slopes, dumbass.

Bongs only suck a bit at early T2, otherwise they have god-tier 3.7 and 4.7 lineups to carry their asses through T3

Among other things.

Dunno, my only experience with pleins is Ace Combat . That being said, I enjoy F-15 and F-14 variants the most, big fast planes with powerful engines that are not awful at turning.

>ace combat
Fuck off, dumb weeb.

you fuck off, faggot.
AC is very arcadey tho, jet combat is not at all like that and it isnt even like that beyond '40/'41 even.

>ecks dee all this weeaboo trash has really made me grow an appreciation for flying machines! Which WWII prop has afterburning?

You have to use it against T-34-85s that bounce it constantly because it's a BR 4-6 gun shooting uncapped shells that lose pen drastically on any slope. An angled KV-1 is like a maus.

>implying you fight a 5.7 with your 3.7 chi-nu II or 4.3 chi-to
I can't help if you're too retarded to not play shit tanks.

your a russian spaa, you dont attack planes

Don't worry about that, more lend-lease has been passed to development!
forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/292513-zsu-m17-mgmc/

it doesn't kill ttanks very well though

>not knowing BRs
>thinking anything remotely matchable with the Soviet power tier will fight anything else ever
Even the Chi-Nu II has to face the T-34E

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
YOU FUCKING REDDIT TIER FAGGOTS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's okay, maybe they'll answer it by finally adding the all american skink!

I'll assume you represent the burger defense force

>3km/h reverse speed
True, but shermans aren't much better
>solid shot, no HE filler
Have you tried aiming?
>no armor
It's in the range of the eternal F2, it's perfectly enough that it stops spaag
>the armor that is there is 90 degrees flat
True
>top speed is 40 km/h
Make that 50
>acceleration is terrible
600 fucking HP, they are literal racecars
>guns are shit
Till you get to the 6 pounder, but it's not like you bothered to pass the 2 pounders
>APDS doesn't come into play until the comet at 5.7
5.3, and there's no need when you can pen 170mm with solid shot at 4.7
>Churchills are slow as fuck with a weak gun
I agree that the first 2 are shit, but the Mk. VII makes up for it in armor, like the jumbo you burgers always feel the need to wank over
>turret traverse for most, if not all tanks are non-existent
What the fuck are you talking about, it's either average or above average, except for your lend-lease shit
>SPAAG food
From the sides yes, like any other medium
>have to actually aim for vehicle parts or crew, otherwise you're dead, unlike Kraut insta-gibbers and soviet biased trash
Pointing at the left side of the turret is really fucking hard
>hulls are made out of ammunition, so ammo rack whenever you get shot
That's the sherman and the panzer 4. Bongs put it on the floor.
>crew are so tightly compact that a single AP round with no HE filler can knock you out
As opposed to slav, kraut, nipp, basically every tank that is not a 3 story tall sherman

>how do i use the ZSU-37?

You don't. Currently Soviet SPAA is almost completely useless because the low ROF makes hitting US/UK fighter bombers which it most commonly faces almost impossible and because the HVAP belt was nerfed it's almost useless against tanks.

if I'm a bad goy and dont pay to win whats the next best CAS after Wyvern?

You dumb cunt I've got both Chieftain's and working on the Conqueror right now, the grind until Tier 3 for the british tech tree is abysmal in every way.

I'm willing to put money on the fact that you haven't traversed british tanks at all.

P-47s

I started after the solid shot buff, so I don't see why is everyone still parroting that they are fucking suffering when the nipp and sherman tree exist.

AD-2. Some of the FAA shitboxes are actally pretty good for CAS, as well.

I should clarify I'm looking for a british lawn mower.

I said, user. The FAA shitboxes.

When do burger tanks get good?

They have some high points, but there's no exact BR where it's fun from there on out.

>a game with arcade physics and playstyle absolutely can't get people into planes
you're a huge faggot

>I played so much mario kart now I'm really into cars! Veeky Forums which honda lets me throw green shells th best?

So better just switch nations?

6.7 is pretty gud
then there is the m18 which can be played at any tier

>6.7 is good
>any clap light is objectively outdone by the ru.251 or obj 906
>anything else is going to have a fucking hell of a time with IS-6s
Are you thinking of the M46 with the new HEAT-FS? Because that's at 7.0 now.

War Thunder is Ace Combat with WW2 planes, stop trying to act superior because you cal throw a mouse about you faggot

I went into their discord to tell them War Thunder was shit? I've never made a post on the War Thunder reddit. I bet you're a RLWC member too.

So what determines spalling? Is it shell type? Does penetration have anything to do with it?
