/wtg/ War Thunder General

now look at the repaircosts and speak after me:
"no such thing as japhate"

>have to research shitty bombers to get to pasta tier III
fuck sakes

>new planes come with skins you can't grind for

>never touched a bomber
>pasta tree drops
>have to suffer through their utterly useless bomber line to progress
After playing several dozen games with those things I am even more amazed and baffled at how many people apparently enjoy flying bombers in War Thunder. It isn't remotely fun or enjyable no matter how you look at it.

it's really just a fucking chore, and I'm only playing them because I'd rather be alt-tabbing instead of flying my 202EC

>playing bombers
why? research, purchase, forget

For the big chunk of RP you get for completing module tiers and spading

this desu

Ever wondered why burgers are so handheld ?

>big chunk of RP
how big? Surely it doesn't outweight 4k RP from single battle in a fighter

>2 planes with shitty air-to-air rockets designed for killing large bombers cant kill a small F6F
No shit.

>that pod
bless my fuck

It goes up to 2k maximum for rank 4 vheicles iirc

WHEN ???

>someone, somewhere thought arming interceptor with unguided rockets instead of guns was good idea
In their defence, Americans weren't first to think that difference in speed between interceptors and bombers will make it impossible to aim guns before pulling trigger

>ulq
>situational awareness

God, the F6F is tiny compared to the F-89.

>ulq
>slavnigger
checks out

then why not ignore it and fly one extra battle in fighter for same or more XP? I don't have T4 fighter yet, wait for SL discount to buy entire tier (have all researched), but Italian fighters so far are borderline OP, I don't think any of my T3 Italian fighters have K/D unber 3

POOPYDUDE POOPS HIS POOPY PANTS WITH BIG POOPIES

THATS WHY HE FLIES A J7W WITH 0.27 K:D

>J7W WITH 0.27 K:D
you're lying desu

long range interceptors are always big, not only because they need range, but also because they need high endurance to go at near maximum speed for very long time

Prove me wrong poopydude

>absolutely wreck shit every time I get guns on with a P-47
>blow ass when guns on with Corsairs or Hellcats
am I a shitter?

POOPYDUDE couldn’t fly a J7W to save his life. Loses every dogfight he ever gets in with anything that isn’t a bomber and sometimes even then.

Pathetic

they really did buff the .50s i swear to fuck

jesus fucking christ, it's huge
when?

never

>building an interceptor
>not just putting missiles on a recon plane
This is why Russia lost.

When will those kikes at Gaijew let us detach our fuel tanks.

>bigger sim maps
>external fuel tanks that can be dropped
When?

t. cosmonaut

minuscule tribal operation, tovarisch))) too difficult to model while we add 2 more underperforming Yak models)))))

when they give us a reason to use any fuel load other than minimum

purchase prestigious penguins, comrade, maybe you'll be surprised )))))))))))))))

Actually American player. All our jets are stuck with fuel tanks on their wings and shit.

Oh yeah, those are probably modeled onto the wings.

they did. People bitched and moaned, while still taking only minimum fuel

when did they

I've actually got one of my F-84 fuel tanks shot off once, never seen it happen again.

>just watched a Bv 238 shoot down a fucking P-61

i am so goddamn tired of .303 instantly knocking out my fucking engine with one hit

>venom can rip wings by just flying straight
wew

Anybody know how sound mods work for war thunder? Is it possible to mix and match them or can you only choose one at a time, and how to make your own custom mod mixes?

What was the Soviet names for their jets? I only know they liked Fulcrum enough to adopt it, I can't find any others.

>possible to mix
maybe if X doesnt cross Y and they share same file namesthen it sounds reasonable

>Hurtgen Forest
>Game with a single Cap in town
>7 enemies or more sat on that cap
>own team refuses to go anywhere near it. When a tank does try, nobody suports them.

I'd try going for Squadron games, but the last time I joined one, everyone spawned in aircraft and just killed any tank that dared spawn.

naval belts are dogshit compared to army late belts for some reason. apparently using ground targets or stealth helps a bit but the difference is still fairly pronounced

What planes have that kind of fuel tanks? I know you used to be able to get them on an F9F with a certain ordnance loadout but I didn't think any aircraft have them in game right now.

I assume he's talking about the extraordinarily large maps that have been released in the last few years, like Spain or the France-Britain one. That's less of a good reason and more of an annoyance though.

>watch 2 P-47D's engage a 238
>they both just go straight at it eating fire from the tail gunner one after the other like they're in a fucking conga line and die
>the 238 only dies later because he took too much damage to the wing and crashes
I love the planes but holy god do I hate fucking american pilots

kys kike

reminder that gaijew made the M60A2 and the M551 effectively useless by nerfing the reload speed of the Shillelagh on them

to of many killed russian tank ((

Engaging targets in what feels like sub 150m with a 221mm pen Sabot
>Bounce
>Bounce
>Bounce

Is it just not worth using Sabot on american TDs anymore?

We can't afford not getting a disabling shot or one hit kill anymore.

>Missile very heavy, take long time to reload (((((

killed too many russian farmers ((((
must nerf

Not really, no
It's really only useful in "oh god oh fuck oh shit" situations where you absolutely MUST penetrate and kill the gunner of something, and even then you have a good chance of the round either getting ))))'d by optics or passing right next to the gunner and making him orange at most

Use the B-57.

Hey guys, 2013 russian servers here

come on gaijin, give me a reason to take both

Unironically gassing, glassing, and curb stomping the slavic race into extinction WHEN?

It doesn't..

Why do slavs lie so much?

Because their worthless """culture""" only values rubles and vodka, both of which require zero integrity or honor to acquire.

So what the fuck should I do in my M18
I don't have the money to buy my M6 fat fuck and I haven't unlocked the A2 yet.

FFS Gaijoob.

load up mostly just APHE and some APCR for emergencies and just flank)))))))))))

>It's the 77th anniversary of the P-51's First Flight
Happy Birthday Mustang!

What an aesthetic improvement the bubble was.

what doesn't?

But you can do that in the west too.

Communism ingrained it into their DNA though

I like the look of both the cage and bubble cockpit
here is a P-40 with a bubble canopy: the P-40Q

Got it the wrong way around, communism was a result of their subhumanoidalistical ways.

>tfw we'll never get this
There are so many variants of planes that we already have that would be really cool to have, like some of the Bf-110 models, but NOOOOO, we get spaghettiniggers and faguettes
at least the days of them adding at least 1 extra Yak model have passed

Its easier to acquire money and alcohol in the west though, just open a bank.

yeah opening a bank is way harder than dealing contraband and mugging people like a filthy rat, wait sorry I mean, honorable slavic hero of the workers.

>life is easier when you're not a retarded slav
no shit
