no it ain't

That isn't high or even medium quality.

that's got nothing to do with my issue

Anyone other way is fucking degenerate.

>Why is there so much smoke in the flight trajectory of an ATGM? In reality, this smoke would prevent tracking the tracer and the aiming system would lose control over it. There was a bug report for this, but no response.

The smoke problem existed in reality. Consider that the aimer observes the entire volume of the smoke with the entire trajectory. For example, you can read about this problem in Vehicles and Armaments No. 2010-01 “The Dragon That Scourges Tanks – the IT-1”, pages 10-11.
>If the IT-1 had this problem, all other ATGMs most have emitted just as much smoke.

Have you played any other Bf-109s?

all of them but not for over a year

Revisit some of those before using the G-14/AS

It's pronounced Treibspiegel, user.

>have to grind 3 MILLION sl to get the Cl-13
please help, what do I do?

>German tank RB will actually be playable now without being raped by CAS niggers in the first 5 minutes, and having the whole team switch to AA because we lost our heavy tanks to CAS niggers, and get stomped on by the Allied ground and air rape

Thats as many as I have right now (after years of playing), holy shit what is wrong with this fucking game

too late, went and flew it. it's slow as fuck stock, can't climb for shit and flies like a brick, worst stock pasta fighter I've touched so far

Pt76 2, electric boogaloo

It sucks because I will have it researched before I have enough to buy it and the C-2b
Like what do I do?
Ground pound in the G.55s?

That will work well if you can stomach being the biggest jackass to your team

>-Can we expect new maps for aerial RB? New maps for aerial RB haven’t been released in 3 years. The current ones are really boring now (Sicily - Norway)

>We still have more aircraft maps in the game than tank maps, but that doesn’t mean we don’t plan to add more. Yes, we have plans to both add new maps and change matchmaking settings in such a way as to let players play on a wider variety of maps.
>We still have more aircraft maps in the game than tank maps))))))

ALL OF THOSE ARE FUCKING MAPS OR VARIANTIONS OF THE SAME DAMN MAP! FUCK YOU!

MG?

Nips had some good looking tanks desu

mg34/42

>still no air RB Africa map
>Italy only sees two maps, one for no reason
>dozens of air maps that are not in rotation despite being functionally the same as the maps we've seen for years
Lol?

Is M47 good tenk?

Paper stats say it reloads slightly faster and turns turret slightly faster than M46, but those two things bump up the BR by .7? Is it worth it?

Maybe it would look good if it was the right size.

Spend goldy birds to get HEAT-FS and its a great tank.

What do you mean

So literally the exact same deal as an M46 just at 7.7 instead of 7.0?

Pass. I'll buy it but I'll keep it out of my line-up and just go straight for the M48.

Finally.

Gotta go fast.

It's oversized because the crew that modeled the later Japanese tanks were lazy idiots. Both the STAs and the Chi-Ri II are wrong.

>Tried it on Norway, no friendly bombers but get killed by the AA
>Think to my self alright, maybe I should try the P108B
Get into a match with three BV238, killed in one pass by a spit
Tried out the B-17E, get on a nip map
What's even the point anymore?

It is better than the M46, that the engine will get it uphills, and that the gun is better once you get the HEAT-FS. But the rest, like the hull armor is pretty much the same. I would recommend it if you want to play Tier V, but if you still want to fight King Tigers then use the M46.

Looks cooler this way, like a real heavy tank

It's not a heavy tank tho
It's not even good as a tank, it only works as a second line TD
It looks stupid when you see how much empty space there is in the x-ray.

Its turret traverse is extremely good and lets you get the first shot off more often when depression isn't an issue.

It's 7.3 in rb
Take it to consideration that you'll see more 6.7 games then you 8.0 games, at least with my experience with it.

It's rather decent with just it's M82 nuke shell meaning you can oneshot Leopards easy even if you were to get bumped to 8.0 Pretty sure you can side pen T-54s as well

Even with the stock AP shell, killing Soviet mediums from the side is pretty easy, as long you know where to aim. Also it has much better survivability than the tinderbox that is the M46.

Just wish the module research cost was lower.

but that's not the chinukai
or the type 74

WARU TSUNDAH

Later variants don't have the same carburetor as the early variants

warthunder.com/en/news/4934-development-mitsubishi-ki-109-an-unexpected-threat-en

What is this, the twin engine attackers update?

Who fucking asked for any of these planes

>Wing Breaker wager
>have a rank 3 vehicle in my GF line-up
>even used it during the battle
>end up with 5 plane kills (all from SPAAG)
>5th plane kill happens about 25 seconds before match ends
>only other person with plane kills had 3 of them
>Game does not reward me with wing breaker, strike one against my wager

what the fuck? I had 5 plane kills, why the fuck did it not reward me the medal?

>Who fucking asked for any of these planes
country that needs CAS ?

Watch them make the AP belts a tier 4 module.
And slot it at rank 4 at 5.something so its unbearable without yellow doves.

>a few early ones are bad, so you have no right to complain
Spitniggers, everyone

Watch it only have HE
or the AP belts be 4 to 1 with an extremely limited ammo supply

The blog does mention it having AP shells, but chances are that the default belt will be 3HE/1AP.
It will also be ridiculously innacurate and overheat like a motherfucker.

I had seen a Russian Navy decal today and I'm wondering if you know how I can get that?

I dont see it anywhere

bait

warthunder.com/en/news/4934-development-mitsubishi-ki-109-an-unexpected-threat-en

...

When?

That's F-104, right?

The one and only

The ki-102 is such a painful plane to ace.

>I had seen a Russian Navy decal today and I'm wondering if you know how I can get that?
I think it was a warbond reward once

All because those vocal GAIJIN PLS niggers kept asking for it/them.

>Kpz-70 coming after the Maus
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

>What is this, the twin engine attackers update?

Rockets are about to be useless for anything besides detracking and light targets unless you hit them on thin roof armor.

They're trying to open people up to other CAS options since the HVAR/RP-3/RS-132 are going to stop being autokill easy buttons. They're prepping for the autistic screeching that is going to hit like a tidal wave when these cunts can't delete the entire enemy team with a single Firefly V.

Making way for the Leopard 2 line I guess.

Anyone going to bother with this plane?

Looks like I'm going to be going for the MBT-70, although there's probably a high chance thats going after Doom Turtle or some other bullshit vehicle to act as a grind wall.

nah its not

I dont play Japanese tanks, and I'm sure there wont be much point using it in air rb

So, no

If the AP can penetrate worth shit, maybe.

God damn how do you bomb in RB without diving at -80 degrees?

)))

...

>no special attack variant
>Ki-167 "Sakura-dan": Special attack version equipped with one shaped charge thermite bomb of 2,900 kg (6,400 lb) in the fuselage behind the crew cabin. The shape of the bomb conducted the blast forward, projecting a jet capable of reaching nearly a mile with a maximum blast radius of 300 m (980 ft). The bomb was designed to breach emplacements as well as to destroy massed formations of armor. 9 produced.
what is the point

>Anyone?
yeah, it's not jet.. and i've always played twin engined/attackers more than fighters by a mile

So when is this gonna get updated?

git gud

>the F-104G (for Germany)...
haha holy shit it's actually true

WHEN?!

human language please?

It's old cheat engine values for a long outdated version of the game, basically let you have all the arcade handholding in the other gamemodes.

they still haven't fixed it?

They have; he wants an updated version that works on the current version of the game.

>trusting russians to fix anything
