there wasnt even reason to buff em, buff only made nippon planes extra weak

what nation do you want to play?

I started the russian tree on my other account, idk I just made this one. Which other nation would you recommend for bombers/attack/things other than MIGs?

not that guy but bombers are fucking shit right now

b- but I only play arcade...

literally how retarded is he?

>slavnigger
Not surprising. I regularly kill T-54s and Type 62s in my M19.

Artillery? I can barely kill HOTniggers in my M163.

Was this float plane even good?
Just stick with the BV-float plane!

2900GE ))))
4.7BR ))))))))))))

Who /LSKderNVA/ here?

DESU I just really love naval aviation, float planes, and torpedoing destroyer niggers in naval forces when it drops.

I watched the replay he killed him because he had no fpe, and couldn't turn his gun all the way around to kill him.

no, devs are lazy and we don't have this option

But dying because you don't have FPE is a fun and engaging game mechanic tovarisch!

I used your code and you won't eben be my fren ;_;

Hi, new to the game. Is the Westland Whirlwind going to be added any time soon? Apparently these things were surprisingly good IRL but fairly unpopular outside of the actual people that flew them.

I had fun bouncing KV-2 shells off Panzer IV today. I forgot to spade the ole KV back when I was grinding through, but it's done now. A lot more bouncy ammo-wise than I remember it though.

>Come back to playing higher tiers after years
>literally everyone is IS6
>everyone plays on slav potato quality so you get shot through bushes and houses

It's going to be added, when is anyone's guess

anyone wanna squad up for some low tier air arcades? my teammates are autistic AF in half my matches

>squadmates in arcade are autistic
I would've never thought.

Reminder that your tier 6 vehicles are SUPPOSED to make you hemorrhage money

Bushes yes, houses no. I play on High Quality, and still nuke people through houses.

The mooks are the ones who kill you through undestructable houses. Theres a trick to glitching shots through some of them that I don't know...

I unlocked the F86A-5 Sabre not long ago and I'm currently leveling it, I also unlocked the F86F-2 a day or two ago but I can't buy it yet.
Is there anything I should know about these planes? I've been having trouble gauging the strengths and weaknesses of jet planes outside of the Ho 229, Me 163 and Ki-200 which are all high turnrate but low accel, relatively speaking, but that's about it.

I noticed the CL-13A beats my accel with the F86A-5.

This is honestly the most annoying way to try and trick you into spending money on a video game, well next to WG's forcing you to buy extra vehicle slots.

"Trick"? Gaijin never pretend that they don't want your money. At least we don't have to pay GE for the better ammo types.

Thankfully low and mid BR have some fun tanks/planes.

Does anyone here have the T114? How is it in an actual battle?

It feels like the game stops being fun past tier III
I don't even know why I play above it, I'm just working towards shit I know I won't enjoy playing
>tfw most fun playing tier 1 ab biplane furballs

on dev server it was shit. Only good for ambushing at close range

>german CAS is bad, allied is so much bett--
I fucking hate terrible wehraboo pilots so much
In a sort of related note, is HESH worth using, even with the recent nerf? I've seen some videos of MBT-70's instagibbing each other with HEAT-FS or ATMG's to the roof optics, but can 105mm HESH do it?

JUST FLANK

I have it

Its possible I'm just bad but literally its only draw is the quick 3 shots which are more or less necessary because HEAT is such a crap shoot

It's slow with a slow turret traverse, not armored enough to protect you from most AA and because it's a recoil less rifle you're going to have a hard time on large maps

Not to mention you're facing IS6s and shit

>ATMG
fuck, meant to say ATGM

Are there any updated gun ground attack charts for 1.71? I already have the ordnance one (docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Px6G3kvcWbiS-sdIR6r4s7lSwfcxguUgJw95qj0NIzs/edit#gid=0) but it seems the one with gun entries hasn't been updated since 1.45.

gots screenshots of chat?

Sadly no, but here's another autist

>fire your gun when your breach is black
he's not wrong

It looks like Arcade, so that's pretty normal
I'm pretty sure having a black breech only makes it have a chance to not fire, instead of making it so you can't fire at all

>some spitshitter who probably got shot down by a bomber screeches at me in chat for "not helping"

it's T-64 on T-64, so it can be only arcade... for now. At this rate it wouldn't be suprise if Gaijin added mixed battles to tanks

>join a custom battle for shits and giggles
He was in a custom battle.

>switch to air realistic
>it's the same just a bunch of people shouting at each other in chat

New to GF RB, which one is the best of the SU-6 and IL-10? All versions of them.

>tfw 5.7 is playable
Why they took so long to fix?

>redditors are trash
shocker

is it? I played yesterday few games with my tiger H and got matched some 7.0br tanks

you know that's litteraly impossible right?

Its not though.
t. 7.0 player

Must be bad luck

I only get match with fireflies, M18s, centurions,t34 85 and IS2

The only match for my tiger is the IS2

Unless you have a higher BR tank in your pool, there's no way you should see anything higher than 6.7.

it isn't unless you have a 6.0 vehicle in your lineup

The Panthers are 6.0, must be that

How do you guys feel about mixed rb
Feels like it solves a lot of problems of teams getting rolled due to difference in factions

I really hate abandoned factory

Well .50 bmg was originally an anti-tank round iirc

why tovarisch??? It's fun and engaging

This is a prime example of wehrb idiocy

Sabres have a phenomenal rollrate and much easier to get your guns on target compared to a mig at high speeds. A-5 has good maneuverability at low speeds as well because of the leading edge slats on the wings. A-5 has bad acceleration but both F models accelerate fine. Sabres perform best at low altitudes.

I feel that there are balancing issues with some of the heavy tanks.

The Matilda and Churchill I are at too high a Br, whilst the Tiger II and KV 1 can be impossible to penetrate if they get a maximum down-tier.

I've had games where the enemy team has just rolled a couple of Tiger II out into a field and won the game because nothing can get close enough to flank them and our team lacks anything that can pen them from the front. A shame, because they're not too Op at their own Br.

I haven't touched Germany since US tanks came out. My best tank was the Panzer 4 F1.

help

buy shiny birdies.

Turning the corner and finding yourself staring down the short 75 isn't as scary as seeing the long version... that said, I've always meant to go back and grind out the skins on the Pz.III N, which also has the short.

>New Canvas5.png

wait end of october ?

Use Be-6 and you'll have enough money to buy AND crew all of them by the end of the night.

Why do people feed my wyvern so much?

Mig 15 bis more like mig 15 BIAS

>tfw you aced, have a 2:1 k/d r and unlocked all the camos of a tank you dont know how to use nor like

Panzer III M is a weird tank

OH
FUCK
YEAH

>take off from carrier
>forgot the flaps until I was already almost touching the water
>scrape my tail wheel off but somehow don't flip into the ocean

>any pacific map
>half the jap team falls off the carriers

Isn't this because carriers are still bugged? Or are Nip players really that bad?

>carriers are still bugged?
Probably, sometimes the catapult doesnt work and you fall off the carrier while taking off, even with flaps.
