fucking accurate

wiki or just ask someone in the thread "hey who has xyz spaded"

you open modifications and sum all the bonuses of all the modifications and add them to the stat card :^)

Nth for slavs need to be eradicated

Reminder there is only one way to play british planes

>stat card
>war thunder

The wiki seems awfully out of date

Tiger 1 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""heavy"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" tank

but Tiger is heavy tank and faces IS2s and T29s becauze it's historical and balans tovarisch )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I try to add to the wiki sometimes when I spade a vehicle and the info is missing. It's left in disrepair because there's really no incentive to add to it

why all the bitching about IS2s? I understand fully downtiered 6.7 burgers and teaniggers in general but slavs are hardly a problem for tiggers

>slavs
>hardly a problem for Tigers

t. IS2 """""""""""""""""""""""intellectual"""""""""""""""""""""""

>play with Tiger I
>shoot the fucking flat side of the IS2
>"""""hit"""""
>get one shoted

every fucking time

>getting rammed by a bot in Sim

It's honestly one of the most fun things I've done in planes, and yeah literally no one(especially bombers) expect their plane to literally explode into pieces from such a short burst

not a good idea to shoot at turrets when it's rotating because the pen calculator goes crazy

>vodka monkey still doesn't understand what flat means

shocker

either you were meme'd by RNG or are a lying sack of shit who can't fucking aim
assuming the former, I'd still rather take a fat flat turret face that's 120mm max with a chance of ))) than bongs with the only turret weakspots being size of doorknobs, who, unlike slavs, can actually hide their weakest part, which's their hull or downtiered burger heavies that you can't even hope to frontally penetrate
I don't even have anything above 4.7 in the slav tree you kraut piece of shit
gods it's no wonder full-on wehraboos are the most despised part of the community

>assmad kraut can't take good advice
wow!

How's the Vampire FB.5?

there are several italian planes with 3x of that gun

>subhuman trash can't read and deflects to muh nearly infinite calculations argument
lol!

>what is the flat side of the hull
>what is constant uptiers from 5.7 to 6.7 for literary no reason

how do you ppl still play gay forces

>how do you ppl still play gay forces
Sim ground forces can be fun if you're into that

Is there any difference between the non-good-goy Do-335s besides the nose guns? And why the fuck did they shove one in between the big dicked Me-410s and the Pulkzerstorer?

Also if it's not a gay city map you get the larger version of it which is cool.
My favorite map in the game is the sim version of Tunisia

This motherfucker has more games in one single bomber than I have in tiers 1 to 5 in all 6 trees

How the fuck is the Ouragan 8.0

It turns well and has okay dive speed but acceleration, climb and energy retention are terrible

same reason sea venom FAW is 9.0

Pretty sure the Italian G-14 is the only one that can use the 3 x mk108 loadout.

)))))))))))))))))))))?

Don't talk to me about that plane. Biggest waste of silver lions ever in my 4+ years playing this game.

>have exactly one (1) jap pilot crew that is actually able to do stuff since I can't play with multiple planes anyways
>main plane I fly rn, J2M2, repairs, and I don't want to spend silver lions on repairing it, so wat do?
>decide to use crew points collected in tank battles to improve pilot skills on 2nd crew so that it can fly rank 2 aircraft
>"this Ki-44-I I never played bc I somewhat rush the Jap tech tree looks nice"
This thing is a monster. I didn't have so much fun in a long time

lancer cutely raises one paw, aww :3

also tfw she is my best way to farm silver right now, he has a pretty high silver ratio (dunno if they nerfed it, it's 520% base but i may swear it was 540%), i mean i own xp-50 that i bought with 75% off ages ago, but i need 310k silver for experts on it...

Why are KV-1s impervious to solid shot that should pen them easily?

because )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

))

with soviet tanks always assume 20% more armor and 30% more pen

>bong rank IV tanks at or over 220k RP: 1
>nipp rank IV tanks at or over 220k RP: 6
)))

>number of WWIIs won by bongs: 1
>number of WWIIs won by gooks: 0
)))

btw, why does narval have only 300% silver in rb?
something like c.205 serie 3 which is not a premium and is 2.0 br and 1 rank lower has 340%

>nipp
>gooks

nani

>tfw shooting someone in the engine no longer allows them to keep sliding forward/backwards with their momentum
>tfw tank carcasses don't stay in place when the guy who died respawns
>tfw the hitboxes on trees, rocks, and other things will never be fixed so that you can fire over a boulder without the shell disappearing, or fire through a wooden fence/bamboo stick with HEAT-FS/HESH

>alternate history
>shitfire spam vs slavs
I didn't know it happened in real life

gods just how fucking far ahead do I have to aim with mg131s to hit something

>is-6 nigger can repair his turret ring in 10 seconds
should I really be surprised?

consider suicide

yes. how can he be so slow?

>shoot HEAT-FS at a King Tiger's ammo rack
>turns it black
Why does black ammo racks even fucking happen?

is okay now tovarisch))) black ammo racks are now unusable))))))

I really wish fulda gap wasn't 1 in every 50 match

>When you put 2x P-51Ds together and get back a 3x better plane
i love this piece of a fucking meme youtube.com/watch?v=ifSqyU1XkyM

It was probably empty to begin with, doesn't it show shells even if it's empty? Or did they fix that already

but it's shit user

post your stats

its hands down the most dangerous plane to go head on against. also climbs pretty good, airspawns, dives pretty good, keeps a good top speed and is decently maneuvrable around 4-500kph

they blink by at the end of the video

I really wish abandoned factory wasn't 49/50 maps

I fucking wish it was that, I always get either normandy or japan
I haven't seen mozdok in months

Hows the T-29 does it meme on kids or does it get uptiered all day?

What happened to citadel, anyone seen it recently?

>He goyed out for the Narval

I haven't seen Volokolamsk in around a year, and Port Novoroshit for almost as long
but for some reason I still see White Rock Fortress every now and then

Seems like a better T32 at a lower BR

T32 is fun to play, but I am suffering from solid shot meme. Nearly got APHE though.

Port Slavblyat is pretty common for me, wierd how someone didn't see it for so long

It suffers from uptiers like all 6.7 tanks, the armor is okay and the gun is very good.

I forgot that the rock even exists
good fucking riddance though

>got spit vc
>the guns jam like no tomorrow

wtf

just fire in short bursts

burgers used fiddies on everything for a good reaosn

this makes spits balans ok lower br ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Why do 6.7 tanks get uptiered nearly every single match?

the stock hispano mk.ii syndrome. its actually a good thing because the hispano cannon has 3 upgrades so you can research the air target belt right away as first tier modification. you dont even need all the three, after the second upgrade they'll barely ever jam and with the third one you can empty all of your ammo count in a single burst without overheating anyways

>Drivers hatch on T-34 has almost double the armor compared to rest of frontal hull
Why?

irl guns didn't jam from overheat

7.7 is a black hole right now with recent downtiers.

no plate structural integrity moddeled in, so small loose plates absorb hits just as well as large and thightly fitted

What is it called when you're not sure whether someone is extremely stupid or just baiting?

>structural integrity failure moddeled in*
this is also reason why small funky geometrics bounce off shells

>Also vulcan bombers and FRACKING IRON MAN
That has me in stitches fuck man lol

>WHEN WILL YOU ADD SWEDISH TECH TREE?????????????

>Ki-27 is set on fire
>enemy disengages
>fire goes out
>land and repair at airfield

>early jets against US or Italy
>f84 spam
did they do something to it that suddenly everybody plays with them?

How do I get good?

I miss the small maps and lower tier planes when everyone sucked as much as me and dogfights were still fun.

now the maps are bigger, and the planes are faster that but just allows me to fly to me death quicker.

They're just the best jets in both countries at their respective BRs. Italy is ridiculous in tier 5; the F-84G outperforms every single 7.0 and a bunch of 8.0s and the G.91 has 9.0 performance but gets a BR of 8.0 because of its armament.

It's not suddenly, it's been going on for a while now

What do you mean?

Just play lower tiers and have fun. I do that time to time. Last time we both picked the Potez 631 and proceeded to get 4-5 airkills each. Good shit.

italian g84 is 7.7 br

Who in the right mind thought this would be a good idea?

jesus christ

are they fucking serious, hispano air belts have no tracers

vatour has something like that too

just j out, that's what I do

> 2x250kg still can't ber used
reported and "fowarded to developers" no less that 3 times already

and the only tracer round is Practice Tracer.

It'd be decent if gaijin would stop being fucking incompetent and gave us EC, but as it is now, there's no point in playing it

meant
> 2x250kg on IL-2M still can't ber used*

reeee give me my first jet already

would've had it if I didn't get into garbage teams 13/15 times today

>EC
what's that

how new?

Well, it has HEF-SAPI, which is insanely good.

Unless they nerfed it since I last used them. I wouldn't be surprised, people cried about it endlessly.

I had a lot of fun in the Tempest V deleting enemies, especially B-17s.

>are they fucking serious, hispano air belts have no tracers
yeah, that is why its such a good gun when flown with the right plane. no other gun in the game gets a 4/4 HE stealth belt

this much
