First for based marshall

more like ded thread edition

1st for divine guided 75mm from the sky

>2 1000lb bombs, not enough to kill one base
>or 8 rockets, enough for 4 tank kills max
For a ground pounder the Narval is pretty underwhelming

French Tanks when?

after botes tovarisch))))

>french tier 3 tanks
>most of tanks are from 50s

also stabilizers were mistake

are there any user missions where I can practice aiming with aircraft without embarrassing myself in real battles

> its another blue team AA is literraly fuvking useless
i want to be on red team gaykikejin ffs

French jets would be brutal at CAS.

When you click test flight you should see a button on the bottom right corner(?) that lets you set up a mock battle against the AI.

>haven't touched crew skills in a couple days
>open the tab
>1900 crew xp to spend
Premium is a wonderful thing

that's why I want the tanks. I'm actually grinding french jets just for this purpose.

...

>tfw no event for the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution

is Gaijin really as ))) as they claim?

if they got tanks with those snebs on their jets they would likey add rocket pods to everyone.

>Gaijin will never let you rape helpless Pz. II, 38(t) and early III&IV variants in your Char B1
>hon hon hon as they fail to inflict any damage against you

I just killed a 262 and then an arado with the Narval. How do people fuck up this badly? Literally just fucking run away

BR 4.0

No Russian Civil War era tonks in the game.
The Allies used some Mark V tanks which got captured by the Reds lmao. The whites also got some Renault tanks which they used against the reds. The reds later had a locally made copy of the Renault.
Poland also used Renault tanks.
I mean technically if we had the French with the Renault and a Russian premium copy of the Renault you could have a Russian Civil War event.

Too low, Char B1 is too stronk. Should be matched against T-34/85 and Tiger tanks.
Would be balance.

>invasions of france
france had better tanks than germans in every way
>invasion of soviet union
soviet union had better tanks than germans in every way

how did they fuck up that badly ?

Oh and the Hornet and the PB4Y that were still alive when I got killed somehow manage to win the match against the 5 remaining Germans. Fucking nice.
>tfw averaging 13k RP per match in the last 8 matches

is this what's called bait?

THIS FUCKING MAP ROTATION FOR 5.7 FOR FUCKS SAKES

FUCK THIS FUCKING SHIT GAME

I have T5 planes but only T1 tanks

How hard would it be to get enough spawn points in a T1 tank in a T5 battle to be able to hop into a jet and meme people to death?

What's the problem? I for one am glad to play Normandy, El Alamein and Malta instead of Berlin and Bulge all day.

Play planes then :^)

hopefully soon. I have no interest in French planes, but for French tonks I would gladly buy early access to.

What's wrong with hellcats? Y-You don't enjoy niggers that flank around the edge of the map so they can get free kills as your team leaves the spawn?
Fuckin weirdo

radios were the main issue in French and Russian tanks
French had a dumb high command
Soviets were going through a military leadership change from purges

please do continue

>M18s being uptiered
>Blaming them for resorting to dirty tactics in order to make any head way


Come the fuck on
Worse yet, it's what they're supposed to do by Gaijin's interpretation, flank and be dirty.

I understand why they do it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't boil my fucking blood when it happens to me.

F-8 does, A-8 doesn't.

Can you imagine the memery when Gaijin introduces Tier 6 jets and therefore Tier 5 premiums?
>level 2 scrubs jumping straight to jet battles by buying premium packs
They better make it so you can't buy a premium jet unless you've already unlocked tier 5 in that nation

France and the Russians had no idea on how to use their tanks.
No radios.
Poor high command.
Nazis had air superiority during both campaigns.

Germans actually knew what they were doing during the first half of the war.

t. proud m18
how does it feels to be a cancer?

Why do you lie so?It looks more like:
Abandoned factory
Normandy (conquest)
Normandy (battle)
Kursk
Japan
Normandy (dom)
Tunisia (dom)
Japan
Japan
Kursk
Surely there are more abandoned factory and from time to time advance to the rhine/Berlin. But mostly I find Normandy and Japan.
I miss Sinai so much

Reminder that american tanks are ruining the game

No the J7W is

How the hell are american tanks ruining the game?

The J7W is the most OP in tanks

Cannons and bombs are wing breaking and armor crushing

Also one ranked multiple shots from my ZSU-57

>it's okay for everyone else to get american shit before america does
>it's way too far to want DDR vehicles in the german tree

*tanked

literally nothing can kill a J7W

One of them strafed me on the runway while on fire from AAA

Proceeded to beat two F-84s after the fire went out and RTB

J7W cannons destroyed my B-29 in only one shot

Goddamn Japan is such a gaudy looking map. . .

What's next for new maps, Candy Land?

>whaa whaa it’s not grey and brown like an early 2000s fps

>t. buttblasted weeb

I bet you also play nip tanks

Gaijin wanted to add a New York City map but British and German players always crashed their planes into the buildings for religious reasons.

Sadly this led to the map being cancelled.

Why do German players lack situational awareness?

Are they too busy praying to Mecca to notice my M41 flanking their King Tiger?

I think it's time to activate two-step authentification

How do I install mechjeb?

Sounds like he's doing the grind for you, rename/make your soviet presets out to say "Thanks for grind hackbro"

What is the top reload speed on the Conqueror?
I'm grinding out the Vickers MBT right now, are either worth it?

>uptiered
M18 has hard time to pen tanks of its own BR, you have to play it like light tank. So much for "tank destroyer"

gotta gib some birdies to the jew

would use conquer over Maus anytime and its 0.3 br lower. Rate of fire is 15.3, 14.9 if aced. No idea about vickers, got conqueror before vickers was added

Maybe slav shit, but I consistently get penned from the front by hellcats in my 5.7 germans

>stock panther A completely sluggish

fair and balans tovarisch )))

>shoot IS-2 in the front
>optics eat the shot ))))))))

Do you have some tips on how to grind both out in 3 days? I only have that much premium time but I also have the STRV

>Tiger H1 is 5.7 where 90% of the games it plays are 6.3 to 6.7

>Really, it's br should actually be 4.7-5.3

nonsense tovarisch, Tiger H1s are supposed to fight IS2s ))))))

cannon He 100 when

to be honest the T34 85 is the most over tiered tank in 5.7
The Tigers and IS2 BR is ok
The Centurion should be 6.0 and the Panther D 5.3 like the IS 1

T29 vs Tiger 1 is historical and balans )))

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

>tfw my 1942 tank faces post war state of the art british tanks

keep only prem/talismaned tanks in your lineup. So if you die you just find another battle and keep going. Dont bother with planes or spaa at all. This way i managed to grind out ~390k rp in day and half or so. I only used talismaned kanonejpz.

>T34 85 is the most over tiered tank
undertiered*

>tanks

Ironically when I fight german 5.7 I'm more scared of panthers than tigers because I can't aim for the hull. Only sometimes trolly mantlet and bottom glacis. However, IS-2 just slices through Panther's front plate.

>planes

No joke almost every match in the jap tiger is 5.7 full of jumbos who don't hide their sponson

>T-34-85, Tiger, pre-production Pershing and Centurion are all same BR
hopefully one day Gaijin fixes APHE explosion model, so they can start unfucking BRs

>play with H1
>get one shotted by IS2s with no chance of fighting back

B A L A N S

Spaghetti Duck when?

>with no chance of fighting back
maybe if it was hull down.

The fact that Panther D and the IS 1 doesnt have the same BR bothers me.

>I have to aim
>the slavshit behind the controls of the IS2 doesn't
