>508

anime

Reminder that 3D women are not important.

4th for Russia is perfect and Russians can do no wrong.

Battlefield 3's armoured shield was a better version of Fulda

Is there a worse BR for the Brits than 5.7?

>tfw I got to be in JG508 before it turned into pure unfiltered autism and faggotry

Ground forces? Yes. 5.7 sucks.

Air 5.7 has the LF mk.9.

Why is it despite having the slightly better version of the mbt70 the germs get BTFO by american teams?

>B-57 at 7.0
Is it fun? In terms of being a bomber, obviously. I've never touched it because flying an unarmed bomber against 9.0s held less than 0 appeal to me.

If you have half a braincell you're literally untouchable.

if you like running and making people angry sure

>britshitters still can't deal with 1942 tanks in their 1946 MBT

>he thinks theres only one 5.7 british tank
>he thinks a post-war mbt is on par with a midwar heavy

>>he thinks a post-war mbt is on par with a midwar heavy
That's all I wanted to hear.

how do i get out of debt so i dont get thrown to gulag?

buy more goldy birds)))))

They're not designed to be retard.

>B-57A gets BR changed to 7.0

lmao

>a post-war mbt is inferior to a mid-war heavy
What?

I would like to remind you that pic is still being ignored
Naziboos+Ez mode H for 2 years = Shitty teams
Yes.If you sideclimb for 2 mins at the start of the game you're uncatchable.If you dive as fast as you can you will easily rape many GTs
>German tanks are good when their disadvantages are negated and all ammo except the ones they shoot is nerfed to hell.
>Wehrb still thinks it's reason to gloat
Naziboos are really stupid.
How did you get this bug?

Why are sabots so shit in Warthunder?

im not sure

i logged in today and went from 0 good boy points to -2K+

y r u so shit irl?

cos ur mam is a terrible teacher

>load shell
>this time I actually finish reloading, so I'm ready to shoot
>get shot a few seconds later
>the loader has been dazed!
>have to reload again
Holy shit, they really just made a mechanic to reload the gun no matter if you're done or not if the loader gets killed

>tfw the hand of stalin

Don't the kpz70 have the same player stats than the mbt70 even though the Kpz tend to fight allied teams more often?

>don't use backup for my tank
>don't have enough points for my plane
>return to hangar and get crew lock for my plane

B-57A at 7.0 is ridiculous, there's no way this is going to stay. The only thing that can compete below 8.0 is the F-84WOP.

no guns tovarishes )))))))))))))

is balans )))))))))))))

literally just shoot it rofl

its got some slight advantages like a torquier engine more smoke grenades a 61 degree angled upper glacius outer plate

How can fighters even compete?

youtube.com/watch?v=U06jlgpMtQs

>there's no way this is going to stay
I said the same thing when they moved the Meteor F3 to 8.0 and it stayed there several months. Once Gaijin changes a plane's BR they're too stubborn to listen to the entire playerbase telling them how retarded they are. Don't expect it to go back to 8.0 until like 1.77

They wait 6 months and take in data before changing BRs, which is why the F-84G only now got changed

Okay I got the Cuckberra, but how do I splash targets accurately with the shitty 500 lbers when I'm going 800 km/h?

Bases and AF, hitting pillboxes and tanks is effectively impossible without slowing down to "pls kill me" speeds.

A little disappointing but still fun just outrunning everyone. Thanks user.

>post daily whens for F-86F-40
>post this once
a legacy of disappointment

Uberdudes KDR with the F-40 is so bad I almost spit my water out when I looked up his stats when I was in a match with him. Truly the ultimate J7W babby.

>replay says it was a ricochet
is it even possible for a ricochet like this to happen

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

Is his fucking profile name "Bomber Harris"?

>KDR with the F-40
NANI?! In what game?

you are like a little baby
watch this

fag, I mostly stock grinded the F-30 when .50s didn't do shit to jets.

Who would win?
>4 fifty cals
>a bunch of heavily armored tanks from the '60s
Russian tanks are completely immune from fifties from all angles though )))))))

MFW Anton says Gaijin's damage models are E-sports ready.

no
he also likes sitting on the airfield when he's the last one left

>teebs don't need to be extermin-
what the shit

>that quality

you deserved it

yuo are of babby
behold glorious soviet patriot

>unironically using anything but ulq when playing tanks
You have no excuse for not giving yourself an advantage.

Judging from the webm, you shot right around here, and since his turret was moving, the penetration calculations or whatever went fucking insane
put those two together and you've got a fairly predictable "bounce))))))"
"bouncing))))" from places you should be able to pen happens a lot, notably with the IS-6, and it's just another reason to justify russia being turned into a radioactive sheet of glass

nani

upvoted

What?

WHAT THE FUCK?

Why does the Italian 109G looks way cooler than the German ones???

Italians make everything more stylish

>Leopard A1A1 gets pushed to 8.3
>Chieftain Mk5 is 8.7 for no fucking reason


They didn't even give the Mk5 APFSDS, so what, 50 extra HP and a slower turret is worth that?

Because German shit has no form or function but at least the Italians make pretty stuff

comrade has not seen type-62 )))

>ULQ even gives an advantage to planes spotting tanks for CAS

MAKE IT A 9.0 AIRCRAFT AFTER THE METEOR F. MK 8 G.41K

>but you're a shitter for using ULQ
It makes you think that those who complain about it are just angry that players are playing the game the way it lets them

Better camos for rare planes when?

Loved fighting these things in IL-2. They'd look so cool as they were hurtling towards the earth.

>F-84G still gets to fight 7.0 almost exclusively

Wow, it's literally nothing! Make them 8.0 or don't even bother gayjob.

>wake up
>no blog

What nation gets the best-streamlined bombs on their high tier aircraft?

>warthunder.com/en/news/5022-development-potez-p-631-attacker-s-apprentice-en
What did you mean by that?

canberra is not op ok bakas it still gets ouran by komets

>wake up
>no blog

>wake up
>no blog

To make an actually relevant comment, it's still easily outrun by F-84Gs which are still easily the best sub-8.0 jet in the game. B-57A should probably be at whatever BR the F-84G is at, that would prevent wehraboos whining about OP unarmed American bombers.

>get 30k lions in reward for mission
>spend 22k lions to refill ammo

why do my teammates keep fucking blocking me or ramming into me whenever I face enemies. every FUCKING time? holy shit they hit me as i go to take a shot, forcing me to shoot the fucking floor. then when the enemy takes notice of me, my teammate stops dead in his tracks when i try to move forward or backward, which gets me fucking killed
i fucking hate everyhrhiijaiusfbnasdijulhyfyhdshglunidfn1

I'm going to bomb shit in RB in the B-57 while in VR and there's nothing that can stop me!

Have fun, user!

kill yourself you fucking retarded burgerboo

>Can skip like 3 tanks and work on mbt

i was going to go for sheridan, but should i just do mbt?

What's this hole for?

Get MBT, it has everything the M551 has and more.

australia could topple the ussr at it's height

Drive-thru.

someone in this general told me for sextant use because curved glazing would fuck it up

Have you attempted buying everything in the game once? Depending on how lazy the slavic programmers are, you might fuck something up, cause an overflow error or similar.

Is that not an Aussie OHP-class, though?
