>not even 0.5 K/D in the Spit Vc

fucking spitniggers

If you look "kills per battle" then it's literally less than 0.3

how could someone be this bad
>0.2 kpb in the Yak-3P
>0.2 K/D in the Spit 25
literally how

Lf Mk. IX's the best tbqh
>0.16 k/d
>0.13 kpb

trying to compute how this queer has less than a 2 K/D in this shit is making my brain legitimately hurt
I'm not even that good of a player but I have over a 3/1 K/D in all those planes

Probably the occasional head-on after strafing straight towards the enemy airspace

>spitniggers
when will the teebs learn

ok youqibin

>implying I'm a good goy on top of being a spitnigger
neck yourself weeb

go back to lawnmowing with the AD-2

My new world keeps spinning me around
And this is all that can be
My new world is ahead of me now
This is all that I've found
My new world keeps spinning me around
My new world keeps spinning me
And time is not my enemy
My new world's ahead of me today
And all things pass away...

>690 games in the beercan

I'm legitimately trying to understand how someone has sub 1 k/d in the beercan

Reminder that there will be no justice in the world so long as the subhumans known as slavs still draw breath.

there is literally nothing wrong with being Slavic

+5 GE

What am I in for?

more damage
better snap shots
shorter bursts

Getting fucked by mig 17 s and cl.13s until you get upgrades
I don't get 4 kills a game in my cl vs noob f2 pilots

+10 rubles

Don't just sit there wasting your time on the phone
Don't be with that skank 'cause it hurts to be alone
And you swarm around like bees to the hive
And you look a man in full but you're half alive

One flew south, one to the east; one went to the west
You became the enemy just to be the best
Waiting for your dream to arrive
You're whole and you're complete but you're half alive

>B-BUT HISPANOS CAN SNIPE YOU FROM 2K OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

second time not so much
>weeb cancer
no thanks

Sim maps are always the most fun to play on when the spawns aren't fucking 1km apart like they are in rb

I tried Air RB in a fighter for the very first time yesterday. I just wanted to see how the RP gain was when compared to Air AB.

Holy shit both teams were full of complete retards, at this BR it's actually harder to get kills in air AB.

Had to take down the very last one in head on because I was the last fighter remaining and I had no idea how his plane compared to mine so I didn't want to dog fight him, I just wanted to win. He killed me and I killed him but secured victory in the process.

>plays a Yak-3P

who would've guessed

Wow, I guess Russian bias really doesn't exist.

>hisparkos being inconsistent
>this is surprising
more news at 9

I said for the first shot you fucking dumbass
get some reading comprehension

>slavshit does dumb shit bc he obviously cant control a fucking plane
>glorious stalin saves his comrade

shocker

get some fucking glasses you stupid cunt, are you blind? Look at the screenshot again you moron

>that is the same perspective as the first shot
no it literally isn't

The is4 even better with 175mm rear turret armor

Yes it is. Why don't you go check it out in game and prove me wrong you stupid back peddling cunt

Are you retarded? Look at the webm and then at the screen shot, it's near identical. Even more, that it could be slightly more to the left, where the turret armour is literally only 100mm, and the effective angled RHA would be 116mm.

>clearly highlights the 150mm plate
>nah man it's the 100mm plate
do you even know how the hitcam works

So, you are retarded. Got it.

quality argument my friend
really proved me wrong there

help

Why argue with someone who's mentally incapable of taking in facts :^)

Check this, lads. Chinese summer event just started. Just weep at how insanely cucked we are.
1 Medal is 30 AB/15 RB kills.

10 Rubles have been deposited into your bank account, tovarisch! Don't let capitalist pig dog teach you wrong facts!

>using APDS against anything that isn't Tigertards

real pilot uses his senses

Someone did some datamining and jets are about 3 times as durable as props in the game. Almost as durable as two engine bombers.

Is this what being a Mormont feels like?

is there a better multi role fighter than the IL-10 in game?

IL-10 (1946) is a heavy fighter
Turboprop IL-10 when

F-82

Arado C3

Firefly MkV

What's the best rating to play at for air and why is it 3.7?

>not 3.3
Lol

b7a2, outturns most props, even spitnigger if he doesnt know what flaps are

>spitniggers
>flaps

@tedcruz Your Zodiac reading for the day: THE DARK HOOD CALLS TO YOU FROM THE CLOSET. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? "LONG ENOUGH," YOU FINALLY ADMIT

When are we getting more kinds of extra armor?

>Jumbo with sandbags on front

...

sandbags don't actually do much for protection but the crews were allowed to put on makeshift armor because it improves morale

post your planefu and what they'd look like as a qt grill :3
>f8f-chan

Meh, I prefer extra welded plates to sandbags, but I know it would count more like spaced armour for heat purposes.

If anything it probably helps to make HEAT detonate prematurely like spaced armor, but it was probably just detrimental by adding weight

It doesn't help

I remember anecdote from somewhere that when Russians attacked Berlin and supposedly lost some tanks to Panzerfausts, some tankers started looting beds with metal frames and springs and planted those on top and to the sides of tanks.
Supposedly those worked quite well because there was a chance that the HEAT round would detonate beforehand rendering it near useless

You mean like this?

>shadowing a B-29
>he starts shooting at me from 2.3 km
does this ever do anything?

That's bullshit.

If they did something they made the HEAT warhead even more effective since during that time concept of stand off distance was not well understood and bolting on something that would make the HEAT warhead detonate further away from the tank had potential to make it more effective if it gave it better stand off distance.

For example I-TOW doubled the penetration from TOW by just adding a stand off probe.

What are the two bottom vehicles?

Jumbo Sherman + Bushes = the very definition of pay-to-win.

>literally not even a premium tank

>american teams

>all those vehicles
>for a single event
>"1 Medal is 30 AB/15 RB kills."
China and Russia enveloped in cleansing nuclear fire when?
