Sounds .webm worthy

A-10 vs Tiger II soon

American CAS at 5.7 will soon just be B-2's dropping nukes

>shoot 90mm AP through the front of a Tiger
>one ded crewman and yellow turret ring

I'm on the Pershing and while the AP shells sucks at least the APHE isn't too expensive to grind.
How the hell do stock Pattons even survive against King Tigers or T-54 tanks?
Like the M47 or M48 should be totally screwed at the start.

Those shitters will be back under some other name soon enough.

i laugh on the outside but die on the inside because i know its true

Hopefully never

>how do cold war tanks survive against tigers?

Br expanded to 9.3 to incorporate modern vehicles)))

>T34/76 cant even meet panthers ingame

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

>I will never have a cute Rebecca Chambers to love

Eh...
Should I buy the ACE qualification?? I'm almost there.

...

no

King Tigers are a bitch to kill with the 90mm when stock though.
It's frontally immune to AP and the fact that there's a dozen of dudes inside of it means the Pershing/Patton needs to flank it and send ~3 shells into it to kill it.
Real life would've obviously been different since the niggers would bail the moment their sides got penned.

Also they're obviously pushover once APHE or anything else becomes available.

>Panzer II can't even meet Matilda ingame

Cockwomble. :(((((((((

Now you just had to open Pandora's box.

hoi

>slav shit

>Pershing actually faces vehicles it fought or might've fought in real life for the most part

This makes me very happy.

Like the other nations have it any better.
America seems to be the only one without retarded RP costs for their tier 4 vehicles.

BURGERSTANI Bf109 F-4

Is it worth it? Is it good? Does it do anything different compared to burger fighters? I got a 75% coupon for it so it's just 325 GE, and I'm curious because I've got an extra 571 GE lying around

but their grind for good shells are hell

>we will never live in the reality where Naziboos bitch on the forums about their Panthers getting ammo racked by T-34-76s

>st-a1, 220k

Literally couldnt ask for worse tank

>220k RP for the FV4005
>220k RP for a 6.7 tier IV meme TD
>the only tier IV in the game over 120k RP
I have to get past it to create the good slavic goy tears lineup, but goddamn is it gonna kill me.

We'll see it in the summer event, slavniggers.
We'll see.

Yeah but at least you can suffer the grind on your pretty Patton/Pershing.
That's not nearly as bad as being cucked out of your Leopard, T-54 or Centurion by a bunch of T-44s, Panthers or 17pdr armed shitboxes.

>t4 heavy that DOESN'T suck ass costs 220k RP
>cheapest t4 light is 89k RP and kills enemy tanks with 1000 paper cuts
>other t4 lights are 220k
>76 jumbo, horrible tank for its tier costs 89k

The only saving grace is the T25 but that costs 178k RP since you have to go through YET ANOTHER FUCKING 76 SHERMAN to start researching it

get it, the F4 is good and premiums really boost research

I think the general rule here is to buy anything you get a 75% off coupon for

The burger109 is fun I suppose. You dont get any ordinance or gunpods though

>plays america
>doesn't like shermans
did you want to lose the war?

Malcolm Hood canopy Mustangs when???

When is the event even starting desu?

I want to know if the Type 69 will be a prize or not already.

Speaking of that, take bets on what the rewards will be

I bet the top teir plane reward will be the AD-4. Which will piss me off because I already wasted all of July grinding war bonds and I don't want to waste more of my life on this shit.

floating tanks

What are you getting for Warbonds, btw?

It's an optical illusion created by water vapor shimmering on the horizon, amazing that a small family company was able to replicate it.

Do any of the event actually feature the T-34-76 facing Panthers?
I know Kursk has them fighting Tigers but no Panthers since they all broke down. The later events all have T-34-85s.

ROCAF P-66 Vanguard for the US
ROCAF F-86 for the US
Pz.35t Romanian for the Nazis
Type 69 for the Slavs

...

I don't why people complain about the grind in this game it only took like 6 arcade battles for me to spade my He 122 b-0??

So-called realistic battles and some aircraft still get an air spawn for no reason.
If it's got wheels then it should start on the ground.

hmmm

Italian plane
Soviet plane
Japanese plane
American tank
German tank
British tank

The P51-D10. Got it a few days ago.

There were panthers in the Kursk event IIRC

I liked shermans back in tier 2

by tier 4 I am seriously fucked tired of them. I have 4 out of 5 slots in my garage as shermans

my wehraboo garage has a tiger, a panther, a jagdpanzer, and an ostwind -- VARIETY

Burger garage? Shermans as far as the eye can see

Oh shit, they added them?
Did they also add the Ferdinand?

I missed the most recent Kursk event.

>Some joke bias slav tank or plane
>Gimmick joke reward Japanese tank

But seriously, maybe an Italian plane like a Reggiane.

Personally I would like a P51B/C, Bf110G, Ar-196 (with 2 MG//FF), or a He115 (with a forward firing mg151)

there were tigers fighting cromwell in Tunisia event iirc
there was but with the limited spawn thing they have been doing in events

Aren't they going to be facing each other on the World War mode?

if its a tier 4 brit or jap tank I'm grinding like hell

I didn't do the most recent one but I know that the panther was in the chronicles Kursk event. Not sure if the Ferdinand was there or not.

M48A2GA2 for the Nazis

Gaijin wouldn't be lazy to add a reskin as a month-long grind vehicle )))

Tank event grinds are generally terrible.
I'm just going to focus on one or the other, depending which vehicle would be cooler.

This would cool to have

>open up container doors
>its a fucking tank turret

Haven't played in a year. Can anyone give me a quick rundown on Italian plons? Are they gud?

>reskin
user, it has the 90mm replaced with a L7 105mm.
It's basically a Patton with the Leopard/M60/Centurion gun and some other upgrades.

g55 EXCELLENT meataballa, serve al dente

109s that trade speed for dogfighting performance, they don't have great rolls especially the 202s and 205s which makes defensive flying a bit tricky. They fly like spitfires except marginally worse but they don't rip and can use their flaps at higher speeds. Excellent firepower mid tier 3 through tier 4.

>fighting Yak-3 in a D9
>retard flies into and blacks the rear half of my tail section rudder and elevator included
>notice immediately that my plane has 2-3x the elevator control
The tail damage somehow unfucked the D9s elevator from the nerf and made it more effective than it was prior.
How does Gaijin even come up with these flight models?

>Some joke bias slav tank or plane
Considering any date limits are out of the window please gib Cuban BTR-60 with a T-55 turret.
That thing would be memes to the max with 9mm of armor and the firepower of a T-55.

I'm so excited

Anyone can see that this is going to be a train wreck from a mile away user

>wanting gunpods on a 109
shitter detected

>win 4 t4 matches in a row
>wellll, guess I'll pop this 75% booster, seem to be on a roll
>lose both booster-enabled games almost no contest with me at the top of my team

EVERY

FUCKING

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

This reminds me.
Does anybody even use the Do 335 these days?

Haven't played high tier plons in some time.

>people bitching about allied CAS being OP

CAS is fine. Shitty people are the problem. By the time I get to spawn into CAS there is already 3 enemy fighters in the air and an SPAA on the ground. The second I go for a CAS run I get BTFO.

>it's fine when i do it

The spawn points just need to raised to stop all the shitters in tier1 stuarts or M18 who just cap points and then J-out for their P47s and AD-2s

Fuck those types of players

>get in spaa
>cap
>in CAS in under a minute

huh

Win war next time Nazis

these gunpods hurt perfomance way more than statcard indicates. Also 15 mm is just high-penetrating machinegun, and come with no stealth belt

>play nothing but american tanks
>get a coupon for a japanese premium plane

t-thanks gaijin

We've talked shit about this movie a billion times already but why is the Messerschmitt pilot so fucking fat? was Göring in that plane?

>he doesn't get completely splattered by 30mm rounds

I hate hollywood

I know in mainstream war films the good guys always win, they go through great struggle and sacrifice and so on so forth, but come ON

you could've at least put him up against an E1 or something

The truth is, he's not fat. He just has a baby sized oxygen mask for some reason.

He's jewish so the mask only fit his nose

Was the D3A better than the Stuka?

>spawn in T29
>get in AD2/PBJ1H after I've gotten killed and have some points, but not right away
>russian/german airsup and SPAAs rails me instantly

>spawn in KV1B
>get in Me410B2/U4 after I've gotten killed and have some points, but not right away
>russian/US/UK airsup and SPAAs rails me instantly

I just want to pop rounds from my flying guns
not really, the stuka was more flexible and powerful and could've easily been adpated to carrier use.

>was Göring in that plane?
Sadly Lucas didn't go all out on this one. Would've made for an even more entertaining movie if the final fight was against Göring in a 262.

>planes in tank RB are only broken when you abuse the system

wow whoda thunk it

Fuck that shit dude go full anime and have him be in an Amerika Bomber Wunderwaffe that's going to drop a nuke on london

Dauntless, mostly because of its small size.

>Ace Combat: WW2, with black people
10/10, would watch.

I know, it's just ridiculous the fucking amount of difference between spawning right after game start and past the first quarter of the match.
I always, always get fucked up incredibly fast by some wirbelnigger who crossmaps me.
