Not an argument

Horten for fun

Salamander for grinding

Has Gaijin ever disclosed the tick rate of WT servers?

Tick rate is 15.16

Has Gaijin ever disclosed the dick rate of WT servers?

Horten. Ignore salamander posters the salamander is so outrageously garbage. But ut does put you right at the mig15 but the mig15 is trash with it being outclassed by most everything it faces then with extremely wonky velocity guns that you have to learn. The horten is easier and cheaper as you can turn ridiculously under 350mph without ripping but above 7gs at 370mph you will rip. The guns on the horten are wonky as well. Stock horten guns are so innacurate its funny.

It climbs good and has good low speed handling
Neither of those are useful for the current meta.
Also the guns are completely useless

How much better do the guns get when you upgrade them?

Not much of a difference

There is a difference but they dont become lasers

Why isn't J7W premium?

is only a prototype

So anyways, how are ruskie planes at Tiers 3-4 now?

>why do some nations hve prototypes competing against postwar planes
Really activates my almonds

>try wows
>game looks and runs 2x better

>fun events

I kind of wish WG would buy Gaijin.

WHAT POSTWAR PLANES?

It fights my Spitfires.

aww

>Japan had no postwar military aircr-

>spitnigger
>complaining
Pottery

Your post-war Spitfires?

You want trainer aircraft to fight jets?

Obviously excluding the trainers and helicopters you fag

>It climbs good
>not useful in the meta
NANI?!

So, sabre vs bearcats?

All the postwar spitfires only fight jets.

There's no such thing.

99/100 times fighting in 9.0 is below 2km

>the only one of these that fits the limitations of war thunder air is already in the game

I think the Mitsubishi F-1 would fit pretty well if the Phantom and MiG-21 or even just F-104 get added.

>All the postwar spitfires only fight jets
Sure thing.

Are you implying that engaging people from above is disadvantageous?

>P-51H

Will burger T4 teams finally be saved?

no, nothing can save those windowlickers

>he219 in arcade mode
the ride never ends

Is that plane really that good?

I have a question
Instead of nerfing rockets like I hear they're going to do in 1.71, why not just lock all the CAS pilots into the cockpit view?
You'd still get shitters whining either way, and at least there will be an extra degree of "skill" involved to be a proper CASnigger
plus dogfighting in the cockpit mode in tank RB is fucking intense

eh it's basically slower a ta154 but with more guns, I like it

When people headon it yes

the people below you are already going 100kph faster than your max speed
all the alt does is put you further out of your comparatively tiny gun range

No, as long as their teams are 40% Strike Fighters and Attackers, 30% Bombers and 30% Fighters they'll always be shit.

Arkaden is all about firepower.

soon

Because Gaijin's way of balancing anything that's too powerful is too mess with its modifiers. They do it all the time, its the easiest less time consuming thing they can do but its also the laziest.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Fuck this game's reward system.

SOON

>be on 1.71 dev
>game won't detect keyboard input and says it can't detect my touchscreen

FUCKING MOBILE PORT

Seriously, the gains are dogshit yes. But fucking go and complain about it on reddit or on the War Thunder Forums. If half the fuckers that complained here would actually go there maybe some shit would actually get fixed. Whining about it like this is your personal blog does jack shit.

Either stop playing or voice your concerns on the channels that could actually mean anything.

godamn, why is the Phantom so sexy?

It's no Tornado.

You should be able to disable seeing bushes glued to enemy tanks.

She's such a beauty.

That's no Tomcat

first for KV-2 is kinda fun

>nazifags bunch up because they're terrible
>kill three in a single rocket pass
>one goes apeshit and pretends it's not his fault for being bad

>burger plane
>nazi plane
>tea plane
>weeb plane
The perfect Gaijin plane, they can make people grind the same model 4 times. 5 times if the marines got some shitty budget version.

>tfw using a lineup with both the 1939 AND the 1940 KV-2's
so goddamn fun

>complain on the forum
>get banned
>complain on leddit
>get a swarm of shills defending this practice

People complain on Veeky Forums cause it's the only place where you're free to be bitter without a swarm of apologetics in response.

>without a swarm of apologetics in response.
Are we reading the same thread?

Can you link to the post where people are unironically defending the shit grind?

>world of tanks

>has a title next to his name of the most overpowered T-34 variant

The absolute state of r*ddit

>t-34-85
>hard to kill

Pretty sure it's 30, my dude. So quite shit for a game like this.

>magical shot traps that appear out of thin air
>randomly generated non-penetration off the turret face despite direct hit
>ricochets on the side armor despite shot having greater armor penetration than its equivalent armor value is
Kill yourself

The point was that it penetrated at all you fucking retard

GUYS!
LETS ALL CLIMB FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN DIVE TO THE DECK ONCE WE MAKE CONTACT XD
AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT; LETS DEFEND NAMETAGS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ^^

>implying I don't play sim with a stick and RB with the mouse
There's no correct answer.

how do you get the 1940 KV-2?

there was an event waaay back, I forget which one but I think it was the same event you could get the Iron Duke IV Comet from

>not just using APBC

Okay, so before I host and spam invites, I'd like to ask which map the custom battle should be on.

Just be a good goy. Premium time, plus talisman. Got to support the small friendly family company ))))))))))
