>It's ANOTHER cr-32 decal

>tfw you're looking forward to a fair and balanced match but then you remember you're playing war thunder

you have two choices
1) use a vehicle that's fun regardless of how well you do
2) use the most overpowered vehicle you have and shit on kids

>mfw my polish marked T34's crew still speaks russian

I forget do the special task medals reset each month or can you horde those?

>type 60 sprg
>sights on the model are slightly above guns
>actual gunner view is much below the guns, forcing you to expose part of your hull to make shots even at the -15 degrees of depression
lynch them

Not having opportunity to lower the turret is enough to lynch em

More historic skins when?

When?

>Gaijin
Literally fucking never dude

that would be fun way to start a match

The M60s are staggered each with their own sight line and T-54's are in each others ways...

>argentina skin
Literally never. Try your luck on live.wt or make it yourself, but Gaijin will never make a skin from such a country.

54's can't be pend though

I think I'll just be a filthy spitnigger till I get the tempest

>yak 3 vk 107 moved down to 5.7 despite having the performance of a mk 24 at low alt
)))))))))))))))))))isbalans))))))))))))

>M60s

So what's changed
I've been asleep the last few hours

So the Italian tree's gonna be expanded upon
Right?

>artillery shell penetrates the commander's cupola on the M103 and kills the whole crew

>low alt
Just don't fight them at low alt. Like, do you try turnfighting zeros or something?

Fuck

that map would literally be a more modern advance to the rhine

Me chief Bubi.Me bomb paleface bread.

>plane that was very good at low altitude is good at low altitude

BUBI IS

What's the verdict on the Potez 630? Is it a fun plane for low-tier matches?

You shit on everything, go for it

To be fair, this piece of fine soviet bias is pretty good at high alt too, for what it is, i own it. Thing is it can't dive for shit, like it rips around 700~kph.
I won't complain about the downtier tho. :^)

I see.
Does it get an airfield spawn or an interceptor spawn?

Interceptor, also in last resort the gunner can pull of some nasty pilot snipe if you can aim.

That's all I needed to know, thanks user.

We love to squad up with it or the 631 (but it's uptiered now, i don't know if it really change anything tho) and it's a flying warcrime.

So can you grind SL in ground as well as air with the changes?

What ? They didn't increase SL gains in ground, it's still as shitty as before.

>x * constant = y
>x * constant = 2y
home schooling everyone

I imagine it is, considering the guns it carries at that battle rating.

You look smart, so i'm sure you're gonna figure out if it's as good as air by yourself, big boy.

>mfw playing the Ta-152 C-3
Oh god this shit is even better than sex. Killing bombers, P-47Ms and others mustangs and shitfires, even a km away.

hmm

new game mechanic working as intended tovarish)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

forgot muh face

i like thst decal, that's damn cute threatening cat paws pose~

meantime the ordinary weekly decals remained the same for another week...

Trying to land and this happens

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

then this

and finally this

Good shit

>this stock G.91 preserie grind

why would you spade preserie

Why not?

51rst Stormo had a decal that's far more kitty related and that doesn't come from a fucking cr-32

>use custom tank sight
>shit's bitchin
>fps drops below 30

what radar?

I have so many boosters that I will use some day

P-61 and F6F-5 had radars.F-86 Sabre had radar gunsight.

If these did something the night fighters would have bigger detection range and the F-86F would get AB lead indicator in RB...at ranges of 3km.

Is there some way to afk grind in War Thunder? I don't mean completely afk but so that I can watch something while doing it.
Also what is the best way to earn silver lions?

bombers

Explain this picture to me

>unlocked a tier4 parts kit in less than half a day
is this what wanting to forgive gaijin feels like? I can't let them off the hook yet.

>F6F-5
F6F-5N you mean

sure, so would other nf. So what radar?

I took my stock Yak-15 out to Sim and killed two B-57s with it. P80s kept wreckinng me though.

What about the F-9s APG-30A? Would that give the F-9 something special or fuck navy planes?

it's pretty weird, there were for warbonds an italian decal with black and white cat heads and an italian decal with three green rats and now it turns out there had been a decal with a black cat catching green rats...

hellcat 5n only
anyway there is a few planes with radar in wt, even bombers like hudson, german night fighters etc

also irl there were gyro gunsights on a few late fighters (mustangs, spits, fokkers etc) that estimated lead and also bullet drop almost like muh arcade marker, shaw wrote the bullet drop estimation was especially important, it showed where the bullet that you have just fired is now

Bombers in Sim EC
with premium time I get like 17k RP a sortie inna B-29

is there an extensive guide for sim like how to join, where to fly etc?

US\British soldier spray painted what is on the pic, on an Iraqi Type-59 tank during the gulf war. Most likely a setup picture, so it could mean more. Most likely British, due to the tanks being shitty export chinese shit, than the T-72's the US faced.

Probably hoped it'd be on every news outlet. Unfortunately no.

lmao finland

>get on the tail of a plane

Go to Events & Tournaments or select Simulator mode from the dropdown that has Arcade Air,Arcade Tanks, Realistic Air, etc.
Make sure you got Air Simulator selected, and in the bottom left-ish of that window will be Room List
All the rooms start with a bracketed number, that correlates to the required battle rating needed to enter that room/battle. [1] is reserves/very low level planes, [5] is jets and some heavy prop bombers, the rest are increments of around 1.3 - 1.7 BR. You need a plane within that BR range, so you can't take your Bf 109s into the jet lobby without a jet.
The room may only be open for one side if the teams are not balanced, so you can't join the room as an American if the American/British team has 5 people and the Germany/Italy team only has 1 person.
Every plane within that rooms BR range requires spawn points (SP), usually you start with 200SP. Planes at the upper end of the rooms BR range require more, like 390, so you will have to take a lesser plane out and get some points by killing shit, then once you land and J out/die you can respawn in your higher BR plane. There's also a cooldown time for those planes, like it's a 30 minute cooldown before you can take another 9.0 plane out if you die in a jet lobby.
Have a plane in your lineup that is lower than the rooms BR range so you can always at least fly that out.

What are the chances of my getting the Leo Zodiac emblem from the warbonds pack.

I already have the Aquarius and Libra.

ty

Why does this game piss me off so much? Nothing else I play seems to fill me with red hot fury like this fucking slav plane simulator does.

>Getting mad at video games

Whenever you feel frustrated, do some push ups. That's what I do.

Every time you eat ramen do six situps

What if I never eat Ramen?

>tu-4 survives literally 30 hits to the tail from a Mk 108

Who the hell eats ramen? And for that matter I can't remember the last time I drank soda

Way to not watch a good show

I wonder if the world's most powerful microscope could be used to see Gaijin.

>There are Hunter pilots

>spend the entire month playing bore blunder for these warbond tasks
>still not even into the fourth shop level
kv-1b never for me(((

youtube.com/watch?v=fKXvIaHAHL8

The war bond tasks aren't even hard, the Special Tasks were the real kicker. You can complete the War Bond tasks in two to five Arcade matches, which take only a couple minutes each really. The KV-1B was so fucking worth it, too.

better link, the dub is funnier

sucks if you don't play arcade

all this hassle just to get shit on by the T64 armada

How did you get that KV1 exactly? what did you have to do?

did that and my RP hasn't been bosted

i can't come up with a reason for the moving of tier five end tanks being pushed into tier six

for some reason a B-34 decide to come after me and chase me around when i was doing bomb runs

Why dont they just dive and reclimb?
