/wtg/ - War Thunder General

Spooky plane skeleton.

Why do jet engines shut off if you fly upside down for too long?

How do i into vautour A?

Is the Avenger better then the Achillies?

I would guess the fuel delivery systems of those engines aren't designed for sustained upside down flight.

Swedish tanks WHEN?
ritastatusreport.live/2017/11/10/a-swedish-tree-for-war-thunder-ground-forces-by-sp-15/

Because the fuel system doesn't work that way.

Christ I forgot about this glitch

Never heard of anyone else who had it, then again I never look at the bugs section of the forums maybe it was just an AMD thing

I've seen the black planes a couple of times but not the trippy water.

There was a time when both things happened constantly. Game would freeze for a few seconds and then stuff would look all weird and trippy. And sometimes when that happened the game would get like out of sync with the server and I'd suddenly die as if I had died several seconds ago on the server while the game was frozen but that info hadn't reached my PC yet, or I would shoot at planes and nothing would happen and then they'd explode when I wasn't shooting.

Those were interesting times.

casemate style tank destroyers are the worst fucking designs imagineable and shouldn't even be in game considering how they're useless in it

just like real life!

They served a tactical purpose in real life, essentially mobile gun emplacements that you could use to defend a position while keeping the crew safe from small arms. In-game they are a joke. The whole SU series is fucking worthless when you could just drive a heavy or medium tank with the same gun, but better mobility and armour and more tactical options.

Post war tanks were a mistake

Define post-war

All tanks were a mistake and ruined what could have been an okay plane game.

Holy shit, this. Trying to balance between tanks and aircraft has fucked this game worse than it ever was.

Lol

The Su-100 used to be a rapist of the highest order but is now utterly worthless compared to the highly historical T-34-100 and T-44-100.

>Trying to balance between tanks and aircraft has fucked this game worse than it ever was.
And now boats are coming. We ain't seen shit yet, brace for impact.

>we may live to see the day where KV-2s/Su-152s are blowing the fuck out of destroyers

Boats will have a small player base, tanks overnight completely flopped the core focus of the game. Besides, what's to break but making torpedos a bigger waste of time than they already are?

>planebabies will whine about ship AA being too op
Boy I can't wait.

I don't know user. But I've learned that Gaijin's ability to fuck things up cannot be underestimated.

T114
should i do it senpaitachi?

>dicker max non pens on the unangled UFP of a jumbo
I love how this cancer only happens when I'm about to finish a task

How on earth can boats possibly be more unbalanced than the current ground forces? That has to be impossible.

add me to the screencap

Avenger or Comet?

Jumbos are the new T-34s, fucking hell I hate them so much.

Comet

pls respond

...

You fly it like a Hunter.

Any Object 120 owners here?

first you kill yourself for goodgoying your way to it
second you enjoy the first part

but i don't have the hunter

>gloat about ez win
>some people point out that the IS6 is bullshit and that's the only reason they won
>"lol so much salt tonight"

I sincerely and truly hate these people.
Now that HESH doesn't do jack shit against their impenetrable mobile holodomors and Germans can't get paired win Burgers/Brits to stomp their faces in, they just walk all over fucking everything. God help you if there are more than 4 IS6s on their team, because nothing else will.

The IS6 is the single worst thing to ever happen to ground forces.

How to G55S?

>it's a 3 MiG-15s and 2 CL-13s all gang up on the 8.0 plane episode
How about we grab the person in charge of jet BR balance and we inflict as much pain as humanly possible upon him, and then when he begs for his death we deny it to him

climb
turn
keep up with things in dives
be slow

>every shell in my M46's arsenal bounces off the side of the IS-6s turret
God I hate these things. Why the fuck did they add it in the first place? And god forbid they add the IS-7.

Things that still piss me off
>kill a plane's engine and having a teamate dive from alt to ks
>set bomber on fire and watch him spiral to the ground only for it to count as a crash
>losing control in a turn necessary to dodge someone, then getting killed by his friend because your whole team is dead

>implying a single feature could save this trainwreck
Shitty mechanics and bias revealed by dataminers caused too much damage.

>set bomber on fire and watch him spiral to the ground only for it to count as a crash
This just happened in Sim with a fucking AI surveillance plane, I ripped up its wing and it went into a death spiral, I knew it might count as a crash so I pursued it and hit again 2/3rds of the way down and it still counted as a fucking crash.

>bias revealed by dataminers
wait hang on, I must have missed this

>Losing control
>Not having 5+5 G-Tolerance

Has the (2nd) most powerful gun the game, but it was dropped anyway because))))))))

>G.56
>get a 3 kill victory
>with premium account
>700 RP because I was researching some tier 1 bomber turd which is apparently the only italian plane I didn't already own
Christ I know you're not supposed to grind tier 1 with tier 4 but this is ridiculous. Next match was a 2 kill victory that earned me almost 8000 RP because I was grinding T5 with T5

what is first most powerful gun in game then and what u mean it was dropped)))

>This final design was armed with a stabilized 130 mm (5.12 in) cannon fed by an autoloader, a total of 8 machine guns, infrared scopes, and armor up to 300 mm (11.8 in) thick. It was the largest tank that the USSR had or would ever produce.
>To say that the IS-7 was lacking in secondary armament would be an understatement of the highest order. The IS-7 was equipped with no less than 8 machineguns. Four of these were 7.62 mm (0.3 in) SGS-43s and they were mounted in a unique way. Two were placed on both flanks of the hull, towards the rear, fixed in place and fired by the driver. The machine guns were housed in a simple armored box. There were separate shoots for the spent casings and belt links. The ammunition was stored underneath.
>There were two more of the machine guns fixed on the rear of the turret, facing backward. These two were staggered to accommodate the large ammunition shoots on the turret roof. Sheet metal boxes were attached to the outside of these to collect the belt links, but casings were left to fall away. It is believed these guns were operated by the gunner or loader who would take aiming orders from the commander to turn the turret left or right. The practical use of these weapons is highly questionable. Whether they would have stayed on a production model is unknown, but some of the prototypes were not equipped with the ones on the turret.
>The roof was home to a 14.5 mm (0.57 in) KPVT heavy machine gun on an AA mounting that could pivot down to the left when not in use. The only way to operate this gun was by standing on the engine deck. There were tests to see if it could be remotely controlled by the commander, but these were unsuccessful.
>The IS-7 had no less than 3 coaxial machine guns. As well as the KPVT mounted on top of the main armament, 2 SGS-43s were mounted either side of it.
What the fuck kind of monstrosity is this thing?

BR 6.7))))

You new eh? Don't think you should buy your way to the Obj 120 so early.

It's the 183mm on the fv4005, but the 120 has the most powerful AND efficient gun, since it's a 152mm with the biggest HEAT-FS shell in the game with a really good reload.

It was dropped from 8.0 for no reason at all

the fuck is a fv4005
no im not new and fuck RU tanks i only play german (the good guys)

>the fuck is a fv4005
>"no im not new"

No.tanks were a good thing.WoT needs a competitor and Gaijin wanted the money.

Forcing tanks to fight with planes was the problem.
We wouldn't need to have postwar tanks if someone didn't go full retard and made shitty tanks that could only work on videogames!
>solid shit
>doing anything
user,Gayjin
They already gave germany shells that didn't exist just to make their DDs better than the Fletcher.

Nope,i can point to 4 worse things.

>RNG bounces
The fact that when it was introduced it almost only worked on soviet tanks is coincidence tovarish
>All the nerfs to ammo that isn't APHE
You see Ivan,giant metal bullet/armor scab/superplastic jet does nothing when it hits you,but tiny spec of explosion shrapnel kills instantly

The IS-6 can be avoided if you don't play 6.3+,but these are everywhere.
>Why the fuck did they add it in the first place?
A mix of greed and vatnikism

>the 130mm gun is slightly better than the JagdTigers 128
>it can't even pen itself
For the love of god gaijin no.

If you aren't new then how the fuck have you never encountered this thing?

>This final design was armed with a stabilized 130 mm (5.12 in) cannon fed by an autoloader, a total of 8 machine guns, infrared scopes, and armor up to 300 mm (11.8 in) thick
jesus christ please no

>pike hull with a much much harder to hit drivers port
>up to 300mm thick pike hull
>300mm
If they add the IS-7 they better fucking add the M1A2 Abrams at the same BR.

If they reduced the amount of points to spawn in one they might be worth it. They would be a cheaper option to a regular tank, just like in real life!

The IS-6 is hard enough to balance without having it club, or being clubbed.

If they add the IS-7, they surely give no fucks at all on what's killing the game.

haha rused xDDD

Its specificatiosn were literally made to counter the maus. The frontal armor was required to be resistant to 128mm rounds, and the tank was to be armed with a gun capable of penetrating the Maus's armor.

When the soviets came across the Maus prototypes, they basically added those requirements to the IS-7

>tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/USSR/is-7-object-260
>"The IS-7’s main armament consisted of the 130mm (5.11 in) S-70, although it was originally intended to carry the S-26. The S-70 was derived from a naval gun. It had a barrel length of 54 calibers. The gun could fire a 33.4 kg shell at 900 m/s and was able to penetrate up to 163 mm (6.4 in) of armor, sloped at 30 degrees, at ranges up to 2000 meters."
>163mm against 30 degrees at 2000m
This is not okay.

what is the best premium tank to buy (money doesnt matter to me) from what ive read its a choice between t29, is6, object 120 and the t114

Do us all a favor and kys before giving these subhumans any money.

Why is everybody hating on the IS 6 while the IS 4 is in game?

Because the IS-4 isn't as good and is at 7.7

Does it make that much of a difference being .4 of a tier higher?

It changes who you face on a regular basis.

What? Bots were removed from RB a loooooong time ago.

I kind of miss Shoji desu

His low earth orbit shenanigans were amusing

>60kmh/33mph
Faster than a T-54.

i bet the grind for boats will be even worse than tanks

Such an easy fix. Incompetent subhumans work at Gaijin so this won't be added any time soon

Well, I mean that in general the Russian vehicles aren't exactly overpowered. There's a bit of BR fuckery here and there, the real issue is how the games play out.

Boy I sure do love encountering KV-1 Zis5 in my rank II bong tanks and not being able to pen them from the front or sides.

And if I do pen them they will be able to 1. Drive to cover 2. Turn their turret to face me
