first for F4U-4/5 when

After the F-84F.

The Ru 251 manages to be adequate in 8.0 matches, yet I still dont think it's OP at 6.7

TOMORROW

>Insert image of niggers sleeping around the Riechstag

>tanklets
LMAO

When did bubbles move to Germany?

Should I bother crewing it

Wait...

WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A TEST OF SHIPS THIS WEEKEND!

WHAT THE FUCK!?

is it really?

Probably busy with tier 6 stuff

I wouldn't lie to you kamerad

>Wasn't even trying to unlock it
>Got it anyway because I'm a no life autist who plays WT all day long

Neat, how's she fly, /wtg/?

It's fucking OP dude. You should grind out the mods just to solidify it's OPness

>entire enemy team is dead before i even get to 7km

wtf i hate the k-94 now

Best brit tank at that BR.

still pisses me off that they're starting to give out non joke rewards for the summer grind fest.
school kids who have the luxury of dumping their free time over their break are getting better treatment than people who have jobs that pay for the game.

wagies btfo yet again

Still pisses me off that my computer broke and I missed out on the second tier of reward vehicles. At least I got the puma and panzerfaust, wish I got the arisaka over the G41.

If you have a job then you can just pay to unlock the tasks you dumb goy.

>mfw I only had time to complete one summer task
maybe I can still manage to shit out this last one with the time left

>only now is non-joke rewards
>M8A1
>XF5F
>KV-220
>Matilda F-96
>I-301
>Type 62 if you're not a shitter
>Soviet Cobras
>P-51A
>PV-2

I would honestly call this line-up one of the worst. Only the Ki-94 comes off as outstanding, and the Type 65 is only there as a not-shit soviet SPAAG that can kinda kill tanks like the Kugelblitz, but still has issues with planes due to non-staggering guns and low RoF.

LAV-25 when

LAV III is better.

Gaijin will never model /comfy/ tank interiors will they

Yeah, but when you consider the amount of time you have to put into it earn one of those vehicles. It's actually cheaper to just buy one from money you get from a job. Even thought the Ki-94 is a gift vehicle, there's plenty of other premium planes that are just as good.

why would they, just seems like a lot of extra work to me

Go play Tiger vs T-34

I would assume that would be for an autistic sim mode, which would awesome, but I would never play it.

The fuck is an A7he1, and is it good?

No nigger. They need to focus on balancing their game before they focus on graphical things.

>gaijing model 100+ tank interiors for you to just stare through the viewports
sure user, i'm sure that's on the top of their priority list.

Japanese bought a German's He 112 for testings

Yes it's good, it functions like a zero.

Do you know any premium that's really good for grinding lions?

Brit Typhoon makes a disgusting amount of SL in arcade.

and in tank RB
>rocket some shit tank on the ground
>11,000 SL

BTD-1
P47M-1-RE
BV238
German P47
Romanian HS129
Russian P47
IL2M "Avenger"
Russian B25
Hudson Mk V
Wyvern S4
Japanese captured B17

I have to grind 2 more and buy 3 tanks before I research the Chieftain, is it worth it?
I have the STRV-81 and premium for another month and a half

What nation? For Germany, I would pick any Rank IV premium except the Do 335 B-2. Anything in Rank III. Then who gives a shit about anything below that?

Personally, I would get the Fw109 D-13. If you don't want to spend too much - the Ta-154 or the German P-47 aren't bad at all.

Money isn't the problem, I have all the premium vehicles I want.
But they're handing out what are basically tokens of loyalty to the game to a sub set of people who get to play all summer instead of someone who's had a premium subscription since 2012. Which I canceled a few years ago thanks the to the summer rewards, since they have the gall to ask for another ~$100 a year to show them how much I love them.
It just feels like slap to the face.

that is like a week's worth of work. Yes its worth it

Russian P-63 A10/C-5 if you have it

I really like the look of the Uhu but it's damn expensive so maybe I'll just grab the 154, thanks user.

I see, you know, really good gift vehicles pop up with the war bonds every now and again. You can reasonably earn the maximum number of war bonds in a couple of hours once you get the hang of it. I would have gotten that French fighter if I had noticed early. It's only a problem if you can't play every day for 2 hours.

Even playing 12 hours a day?

nah, I'd rather not think about it. it just pisses me off when they shove it in my face every year.

WHAT IS THIS FUCKER EVEN AIMING AT???

It's the bugged hitboxes on the rocks and rubble that absorb shots.
He's just firing quickly and being retarded

As dead as the slavic race should be.

>hating a whole ethnic group because some of them made a game you don't like

>when your teammates won't drive out of the spawn and start typing cyrillic

yes, War Thunder is the only bad thing slavs have done, of course you're right, my apologies

>when you get oneshot from across the map

Marx wasn't a slav, so you can't blame them for communism.

name one streamer/jewtuber that is even good at this game

hardmode: no soaring thunder (even tho hes only good with jets)

good bye war criminals

ru251 is being moved to tier 5. I know it.

If someone unlocks every single tier 5 vehicle with said premium how is it nullified?

They are releasing tier 6 vehicles 1 to 2 at time. Unlocking those with current tier 5 is a breeze.

>unlock all tier 5 tanks in a specific line with 40 dollar premium
>unlock tier 6 tanks with tier 5 tanks
What's the big issue here?

Do the R4M rockets help with destroying bombers?

>playing russians
>calls other people war criminals
ok Ivan, that's too much Vodka for tonight

K is really fun to use too, can 1-shot a BV

Well, yes, if you can hit a bomber with them, dunno if they'd really be worth the drag they add though.

>literally play the best round of my life
>crash before results screen

But I don't play tier 5 user

The new tier means a couple extra days of grinding with my tier 4 premiums than tier 5s, big deal.

Dead game

Do the side skirts irk you?

How is the ATGM controlled and reloaded?

Is it integral to the vehicle or essential an ad-hoc bolt on?

Theyre not side skirts, they are side flaps because gaijin is incompetent and can't model them swinging(probably because they will bug the fuck out and provide no actual protection)

>provide no actual protection

Yeah, thanks for reminding me why I stopped playing.

so is the is6 cancer or am i just bad

You're just bad, the JS-6 is pretty easy to deal with

this is still the stupidest fucking anime shit I've ever not seen
nah I dont really care, I'm never going to have time nor want to grind it out now that Tarkov is becoming an actual game and real life is going to be taking real time

probably gonna shekel the ontos tho

do i need hesh? the optics seem to eat my fragments

Nah, you're best using straight HE to hullbreak the barrel, which should lead some fragments to pen the upper glacis and kill the ammo and disable the loader.

seriously that works ive been pulling my hair out trying to get back into tanks thinking i just needed to grind out better ammo or some thing

no he's a shill
