First for bias

2nd for the IS-6 does not provide any advantage whatsoever

The JS-6 is not that good.

Exactly, tovarisch)))) +10GE)))))

guess today is not a day for WT

can someone give me a quick rundown on the g55s? I've heard that it outturns shitfires and is OP in many other ways and shit.

Like for example, how well is it a climber in regards to its BR range competitors? How is its speed? any other points are appreciated

I promise I won't be a shitter though

anyone notice how the italian pilots have mustaches?

Why can't I kill ground vehicles with torpedoes???

>INDONESIA_ARMY

So why is a x5 boost actually a x3

Same battle activity, both defeats, the booster match got slightly higher points but the result is a x3 multiplier at most.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Its literally not OP. Spitniggers just haven't been able to adjust to it now that its not rare anymore despite the fact that it performs almost identically to the non-premium G.55.

It climbs worse than a 109 F-4, is one of the slowest planes in its BR bracket, and is shit in the vertical.

Literally all it has going for it is good guns, low stall speed, ok turning, and ok diving, which is all it needs to shit on shitters en masse.

Zeros were known for their ruggedness

Because that 500% adds to the already existing multiplier, instead of multiplying it.
>1.84*(100+100) = 368% multiplier
becomes
>1.84*(100+100+500) = 1288% multiplier

32nd for lynching slavic niggers in the streets when?

>crit CL-13
>still flies as if nothing happened
give me one reason to believe germans aren't the most handheld nation in game

only destroyed landing gear tovarisch))) is critical component, so game is not lying)))))

Yeah,all that high quality scrap becoming useless saddens me too.

>clearly says wing damaged
like unironically speaking these things are made of fucking unobtanium
everyone who flies them needs to be shot

But if all the CL-13 pilots went away and couldn't carry anymore, what would the slavniggers do to even compete with A-5's? the G.91's are all too busy curbstomping 7.0's

Which plane is better, mig-15bis, or the f-86 equivalent?

can g.91s even stand up to 9.0s when it gets uptiered?

F-86F unless you're at low speed or high alt

F-86 by far
MiGs are shit for anything that isn't a bomber
probably not, but that's just because everyone who flies it is a FOTM retard
if played by competent players they can easily compete

curious as to what everyone's sound settings look like after the new sounds in the patch

because teebs exist

teebs are pretty fucking handheld but the fucking crown goes to germany

this shit is why I have fantasies of sodomizing german players to death with a spiked club

only AAA on the red team works

what about the mig17 vs any equivalent jets that it faces?

what about the cl13 vs any equivalent jets that it faces?

not sure about the first but
>what about the cl13 vs any equivalent jets that it faces?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

So now that we have engine sounds that aren't COMPLETE dogshit, what are the chances we'll be getting new gun sounds for air and ground that actually sound like guns?

>minute shit like manifold pressure and fuel amount affecting your performance is modeled
>simple shit like turning nose gear isn't fucking modeled
what the fuck

is there any way I can pen the front of a Tiger II
with a Panther D or with a Tiger I

no bulli pls

>slavshits
>logic

It's only possible if you aim at the turret cheeks with APCR that has pen exceeding 185mm
Even then, it's a coin toss, a roll of the dice, because if the turret is moving AT ALL it'll autobounce because something in the pen calculations goes fucking berserk

Anything with wheels cucked buy gaijin. Like bombers.

>tanking shells in a KV-122 because retards keep shooting the turret
>one guy just sat there and shot me 5 times while I reloaded (dead loader), before I just nuked him through the UFP.
Goddamn I love this gun, and the tank isn't terrible either. The thing's hull armour is butter even when angled at this BR, but I guess that doesn't matter.

>the IS-6 isn't that good

>the tiger II is a bad tank

If It was low profile like stug or SU it wouldn't be a problem, but the fucking thing is as tall as Sherman and the damned paper thin armor is asking to get mowed down by MG.
At least M18 is more manageable

>>the tiger II is a bad tank

>the IS6 isn't OP

overmatch was a massive mistake

obligatory
>arkaden
But seriously I doubt you could if you wanted too
My bog standard t44 has never gone through a Tiger II's turret with anything other than composite rounds

Blizzard was a mistake

>no jewbomber skins yet

Fuck off shlomo

Cant wait for the nukes on your hellhole

>some Kv-2 manages to cap C (the tower surrounded by bamboo), then sneaks it way around behind our line and cap middle point while we steamrolling its teammate
If it was light tank I wouldnt say a thing, but it was a damn heavy

fuck off weeb nigger

I JUST STARTED PLAYING GAY FORCES OKAY?

>just started
>panther
Shut your whoremouth

Ok shitter

it's just a panther fucking D

I meant nothing by it, user. Is germany your first gf tree?

is there a single french plane that has alternate skins?

yeah

yes

how fucked am i

which one?

About 6/10 if you dont switch away from arcade. Flanking is kinda hard to do if you always have a nametag on your head.

One of the early bombers, I think. I saw a screenshot here.

is it normal to get constantly assfucked by IS-2s in my early panthers?

also I found realistic to be kinda hard, so I figured that I should start with arcade to get the grip of things, just like I did with the planes, and then switch to realistic.

what the fuck am I supposed to do I'm tired getting one shotted by IS-2s and Tiger IIs without being able to fight back

Yeah
The IS series' 122mm can easily pen Pz V fronts most of the time without difficulty, bounces are rare.
Realistic can seem intimidating from afar but provided you learn to check corners, what tanks you cant and can't pen frontally and bind your binoculars to a key (I use 'E") then over time you'll get the hang of it.
If you're really struggling then you could turn your settings to low or ultra low, this would greatly reduce the bush coverage and visual interference between you and the enemy tank on your end alone (provided he isn't doing the same) but I find it detracts from the experience and dont use it unless I'm having a really bad streak of luck.
Be sure to learn the tank you're playing too. The Panther isn't indestructible but the KwK40 gun and solid frontal armour are its strongest suits. Watch some videos if you're unsure as to how best to play your tank.
A lot of the time however it can come down to blind luck, but that good game where you kill upwards of 5 enemies make the pain all the worth while.
tl;dr: Know your tank's strengths and weaknesses and know your enemies as best you can. You should really try RB, you won't ace it right off the bat but it'll make for a better experience than AB in the long run

>is2 oneshotting things
Yeah thats normal. Its a 122mm gun man. And wont change with any other panther apart from a fee lucky bounces, no matter what gamemode.

>arcaade for basics
Pretty sure you know how to drive a tank by now. Biggest problem of arcade is the nametags making flanking with a uptiered tank near impossible unless on a city map.

>what to do
Learn the weakspots, shoot their sides and seriously try realistic

I'm also an ex wot shitter, most of the basics also apply here (apart from shell types and ballistics, which I had studied separately).

Probably start playing realistic.
How painful is it gonna be with a stock Panther A (just finished researching parts on this thing).

Also what are the best german planes for CAS'ing slavshits? I have almost the whole german tech tree unlocked, was thiking of using the B6/R3 and some Dorniers.

>side climb
>entire team is dead by the time I reach 4500m
I think I died last night and went to hell

just side climb dude LMAO

>I'm also an ex wot shitter, most of the basics also apply here (apart from shell types and ballistics, which I had studied separately).
I hope you didnt come here expecting less RNG
>Probably start playing realistic.
Good
>How painful is it gonna be with a stock Panther A (just finished researching parts on this thing).
One of the comfiest tanks tier for tier imo
>Also what are the best german planes for CAS'ing slavshits? I have almost the whole german tech tree unlocked, was thiking of using the B6/R3 and some Dorniers.
Solid choice although it wouldnt hurt having a bomber in your lineup for instakills. Recommending 190f8 and do217s

Panther A is pretty solid desu, though I mostly shunned it in favour of the Tiger H1
>what are the best german planes for CAS'ing slavshits?
Really depends on the tier. Focke Wulfs with decent bombloads absolutely rape and at late tier 4 early tier 5 nothing comes close to armoured target rounds on the Me262 Narwhal. For now though I'd recommend taking a Do217 and learning how to fly defensively
