anyone who thinks the nazibolt isn't op is a grade a retard

Probably makes a noticeable difference when diving and separating from enemies.

Won't stop MLG niggas from prop hanging and trying to snipe you though

M551A1 when

client stability has been much improved recently

I am very impressed

Slavic situational awareness is great.
I shot this guy and killed his driver twice and he never even turned the turret to look at me. I had already shot him once and kill the first driver as can be seen by the broken track . he eventually just shit the building between us and gave me a clear shot at his side

Reminder these used the have modifiers that multiplied them if you had premium

My 1,000,000 turned into 1,750,000

I just started playing a few days ago and I'm loving driving circles around people in the light Soviet tanks. Should I stick with the Russians if I want to be agile or is there another nation with better fast tanks?

wtf, burger light tanks at the 1st rank are like miles better than soviet

wew

This was with a 500% lions booster.

Looks a lot less than 500%

On later tier, Russian lacks fast/agile tanks. They go with med and heavy lines, and even light ones aren't that fast.
If you want race cars that pack a bunch, go with American. The M10 and M18 are a pain to deal with when its driver utilize the speed
>mfw going Sanic to the corner of the Tunisia map (battle mode), sneak around matching tanks and worked my way from bottom line of enemy to the way up

Soviets and Japs are the only ones I have really tried so far. I was going to give the Brits a shot next but I'll see how the burgers go.

>The Lend Jap 190

kys many times over.

1. For buying a shit premium
2. For being shit in that premium
and 3. For not puting a talisman native Japanese fighters

500% booster means +500% i.e. x6, right?
i.e. ~55-56k for a battle with 2 air kills and some additional crap on a premium vehicle is about right

It makes a massive difference on some planes, on doras opening the rad all the way is basically an airbrake

Vertical guidance, y/n?

I bought it in 2013

How is it shit? It compliments Japanese planes perfectly.

Clappers try to BnZ zeroes and run, and I can chase them down.

I think you're just jealous desu

okay thanks

I love having that thing on my team when playing japs since they usually kill all the bombers so the balsa wood zeros with peashooters don't have to, I don't understand why the fuck you'd hate it.

n

It helps in rare situations where your plane is shit at turning, helps you pull of that extra bit of lead.

But turning it on and off can cause a bit of confusion regarding lead so I don't bother.

chi-ri ii instant reload makes me put on my thinking cap

What are you even talking about?

Playing the Ju 87D-5 with the 12 x 8mm machine guns is fun as hell

why use them over the 6 MG 151s?

>mouse cursor shows in game
>clicking takes away mouse usage
>can't shoot
great game

I have a few questions as a returning player from about 6 months before brit tanks were added and was wondering what some of the big changes since then are?

i guess i want to know if there is anything that i have to pay to access like what they did with the brit tanks (i assume ships are) like the new french stuff.

finally i dont plan to spend anything on the game but i think i might have about 2k gold left from back when i used to play and was wondering what is a good use for that

meantime you could simply play 12 mgs hurricane

>play churchill

>IS-2 ignores my armor
max uptiers never when

I fucking love urban tank combat in this game.

Warehouse map is the best. Sniper tank virgins can't compete with brawler chads.

kill yourself

shocking

>me, a chi-nu ii, and a cobra king are pretty hidden
>cobra king starts shooting his machine guns at a butterfly in africa
>get nuked by a tu-2 because he saw it
i LOVE games where my teammates are brain dead retards

Jokes aside. I only just started the game so I have only done arcade battles. Should I just jump in to the historical ones or is there a minimum battle rating I should aim for first?

reserve to 3.0 is easily the most fun for RB tanks, any other BR if you don't have parts or FPE is just picking teeth

>Flying IL-2M for a daily task
>Carrying 2x250kg bombs
>Drop them in a dive from about 1km up and pull up
>Bombs detonate
>My fucking wing shears off from the explosion

Did they really have to handhold Ground Forces players THIS fucking much? Even in non-GF modes, there's no bomb sight for bombers/dive bombers and bombs obliterate your plane if you drop them too low.

>Not handholding AF players is handholding GF players.
Pretty sure you just need to get better at the game.

>Changing the rules in RB to make them monstrously unrealistic (250kg bombs obliterating a dive bomber that is 1km away?)

It's just ridiculous. Why do these rules apply to air RB, anyway? Literally nobody even tries to bomb moving hard targets anymore because it's just a waste of time and way too difficult compared to AFK climbing towards a base and dropping your load while hoping you're not intercepted.

...

t. chimped out when the third person bombsight was still around

It's about cost/time/difficulty analysis. The 23mm cannons on the IL-2 can kill heavy tanks from 400m out in a single burst. Why would I ever risk dive bombing targets when (an activity that puts me at immense risk in multiple ways), instead, I can just right click once from a safe distance to destroy anything up to a light pillbox? Making dive-bombing and close air support nearly useless in air RB just makes things stale. I get why they made these changes to ground RB, but why carry them over into a mode where bombers and attackers are already at a huge disadvantage?

Man the ASU-57 is some real cheeki breeki bullshit

KPZ70 stock is terrible

>250kg bombs obliterating a dive bomber that is 1km away
fake news

everything above tier 3 is terrible

>Literally what is arming fuse

shekel the APFSDS if you can, my african american, because it turns the tank into a whole load of bullshit

>Missing the point this badly

The point is that it's easier to just shoot tanks with 23mm guns that historically couldn't even damage them than it is to bomb them, rendering bombing anything other than stationary targets totally arbitrary. Then again, this general is full of the worst kind of braindead shitposter, so I dunno what I expected.

who else /team slickbee/ here?

I don't fucking get it, what do these retards gain from shooting teammates when they're obviously trying to fucking play strategically

Maybe its just simulating the crew compartment filling with retardant. Nobody can fucking see anything when the extinguisher goes off.

Should still be able to drive though desu

that's pretty cute

Who won the Orange v Magz fight?

Orange because Magz is a huge pussy faggot
Orange is easily one of the best players in the WT community and Magz is just a typical crybaby bitch that has a huge fit when things don't go his way

>orange is one of the best players
didnt know that capping and suiciding is considered good now. kys orange

>Orange is easily one of the best players in the WT community

Played 5 or so games with it using the 20mm gun pods and it is an absolute blast to play against fighters. Just gotta use keyboard controls and landing flaps

t. Magz

>orange
>good

*smacks lips*

You could probably just do what WoT did and give it the new FCU anyway

stole this from their own devblog. the applique armour isn't really much; only meant for HEAT

>any major jewtuber being good

LADS STOP NOW

what map goyim

what did gaijin mean by this?

KV armor is bullshit

can't see the impact angle

what advantages would the T-72 have over the T-64 if it was ever added?

when I shot his turret side was 90 degrees facing me

>at 80% throttle with radiator at 100%
