It doesn't negate slope itself, but only effects on shell penetration ability. Shell will strike as if it was vertical armor equal to LOS armor thickness. Using T-34 glacis as example, 45 mm at 60 degree makes 90 mm LOS, and KwK 40 shell will hit it as it was 90 mm vertical.

It's around 100 mm at 47 degree, ~150 effective. Jumbo's glacis is made of 2 layers of armor

i sure am glad the armor inspection lied to me

>play americans
>be on team with russians fighting germans
>still fight slav tanks
Don't play Germany if you aren't going to use German tanks.

check around edges, you'll highlight bottom layer
You should've see it coming. Didn't you think it's pretty weird that Sherman with same gun and even thinner armor is whole 1 BR higher? One with gun equal to KwK 40 is 6.0!

Other than T-34 and KVs, German tree doesn't have any good T2 prems.

i legitimately wish these people were put in camps

shouldn't spawncamp

>retard blog poster doesn't know what spawn protection is
I think it's people like you that need to be put in camps.

there was no spawn protection

>being bad
have you tried the opposite?

>game is a guaranteed loss
>whine about spawn camp
hysterical

You're killing it user.

Spawn protection had run out on the nashorn senpai

what do you think

What are the best planes for shitting on tanks?

chaika

Yes.

He219

>AI tanks
Probably the He219, Vickers Tempest, Ho229, the duck.
>player tanks
Wyvern, any P47, AD2

>drop 500kg bomb on m18
>no damage

how did you achieve such quality ?

ultra low quality, jpeg screenshot, zoom in and use snipping tool

>event where all you need to do is win games
>suddenly losing every game
really gets those nuts quaking

Any british plane with 8 or more RP-3 rockets.

what the fuck is going on?

>cannon literally being closed

I had no idea you could be so shaken up that you open the breech of the gun, pull the shell out, and put it back into the magazine

not enough battle activity tovarish)))))

How do we fix tanks?

whats the point of H8K

There is an Israeli roundel that has a phat star of david on it that I use for that, and under American Tank decals you can get a somewhat smaller version of the American Flag

They left loopholes for us

EC style moving spawn points in bigger maps, or ai AT guns that work similar to base AAA.

Alternatively 2 triangles can make an impromptu star of david

yay 1st game 1st win in event... now when I write this here my next 10 games will probably be losses

>throw smoke
>t-34 hiding in a bunch of bushes that you cannot see besides the smoke cloud he makes when firing
>shoots me through the smoke
should I just quit? it's obvious I don't know how to play this game

>Get 5 wins
>Su-76

super conqueror when?

Probably soon, they're going to be desperate for things to fill out tier VI that aren't MBTs

>get 5 wins
>get a commie Lee
>confused
>turns out an event is going on
I feel bad for those who are actually trying to get this thing and failing.

whats the event?

Is it even worth it?

>I feel bad for those who are actually trying to get this thing and failing.
I dont think so Tim
>How do you receive the prize?
>Activate the bonus code “TANKERSDAY” on the special page

>>Activate the bonus code
Are they really this fucking dumb they have to make it a code instead of just an event in the game?

It is an event, but you need the code to access the event or something

There's literally a half dozen models of the Vickers MBT they can implement.

>that aren't MBTs

What are..
wheeled TDs?
recon vehicles?
ATGM carriers?
additional SPAAGs?

I really want to try EC but I never touch Sim, and can barely score wins and kills in Air RB right now, why does Gaijin lock away all the fun modes behind Sim

There are more MBTs than all of those though.

RB EC was probably the best mode they ever implemented, I still don't understand why they aren't constant events, why is Gaijin so fucking incompetent?

sim tanks is literally just RB but you're restricted to commander view
it's honestly a lot more fun than RB but slower

>fly directly above tree line, pulling up
>a single leaf grazes my left engine
>two seconds after clearing trees and above them my left engine dies
I fucking hate this meme

fuck I really want to experience that

Totally besides the point.

It's was pretty great, especially for the first test when you could hit 100k RP from a 1 hour game.

They want to reduce fun to push people into paying money to lessen the grind.

I enjoy sim tanks but you really have to want to commit time to the game mode.

Good things about it.

>for some reason people don't use binocs as often or are just super tunnel visioned in one part of the map.
>if you flank well you can kill the majority of the enemy team.
>at least from my experience CAS doesn't FEEL as bad as RB.

It was also the best way to grind planes.
>use 150% RP booster
>queue RB EC in a premium fighter
>having premium optional
You're raking in RP without a dent to your lions when you respawn because you make near as much lions attacking the ground or other players. I actually managed to research the all the way from the p-38 LO all the way to the F-84B in around 4 matches of EC. I had a few 150% boosters and used the premium P-51. If I played a match or two more and played longer in each one I could have probably got research on the first Sabre done

Did you move after popping smoke?

Chance is that if he didn't see you move, and isn't retarded, he'll shoot where he last saw you.

yes I moved

Sometimes through smoke, you can see a sort of ghost image of the headlights. He probably saw those and killed you.

>you can see a sort of ghost image of the headlights
i fucking hate this game so much

I am pretty sure they fixed those.

Two times in a row playing the event some idiot thinks you have to destroy the middle tank over and over again and we lose because of that because they don't understand ENGRISH MOTHAFUKA

How's the movie?

Its fine. If you want to watch it you should get it subbed in english. The dub isn't very good.

Based on things that didn't happen.

>play 5 games of RB EC
>wait until SL 50% discount
pic related

this user is right if you really want to watch a movie that closely follows historical events try the Battle of the Bulge (1965).

didnt stopped me enjoying schindlers list either

The Pianist is an objectively superior holohoax movie. It has a personal story and a character you can relate to, rather than an impersonal mass of abused jews and an unlikeable irishman pretending to be german.

EPIC

I'm at 4/5 they better not fucking reset it.
