Anime and Hitler did nothing wrong

I unlocked the APDS for M41A1, it was worth the shitty slog.

It is, had a Walker shoot my T-44 five times to no effect. Poor bastard.

I've been getting 1 or 2 hit kills with it thus far.

Sky Crawlers.

The post-pen is very RNG, usually gets the job done though.

Friendly reminder: the IS-6 provides no significant advantage

Friendly reminder: spitfires provide no significant advantage

Solid shot is fucking AIDS to use jesus FUCKING CHRIST
I JUST HAD A SHOT ON A SLAVNIGGER NOT EVEN DO POST PEN DAMAGE, JUST WENT RIGHT THROUGH AND KILLED HIS GUNNER ONLY

m46 tiger is based on a specifc vehicle you fucking idiot nigger

>implying that matters
+1 GE, my fellow slav

>kraut shells still don't work

I hope you accidentally gas yourself while handling zyklon-b

which german tonks have shells that don't suck?

>inb4 anything above 128mm
I'm specifically assmad that the 88mm and under is beyond SHIT

have you ever even used a Panzer IV?

>WHADDYA MEAN YOU DONT PLAY SOME 2.3 BR TANK 24/7???

name a tank between the pz iv and the tiger II which has functional shells

all

literally everything above the F2 has nuke APHE that should oneshot or kill all turret crew on penetration

weird, solid shot feels better than anything I've been using in the german line

so the F2 is good so long as you're overtiered
seems to be the common trend of german tanks besides 1 or 2

weak bait desu

you think im joking but im not. I fully regret making at as far as I did in the german tree because their guns are fucking t r a s h so far

pick a combination of the 4 and only those 4

The fucking state of naziboo's

...

Are you bitching because your shells don't do damage when they don't penetrate..?

>'s
esl niggers leave now

Maybe stop using APCR-only then.

im bitching because when they do penetrate (which is rare because KRAUT ENGINEERING) nothing bad ever happens to the enemy crew. most of the time it doesn't penetrate because apparently a long 88 couldn't penetrate the back of an M4 turret from 100m at zero degrees angle of attack

American upbringing

this is the last (You) that i'll give.
Go fuck yourself you underage nigger

There would be super minor fragments from the shell. But a 105 HESH round would not do that to a tank.

I fucking hate Gaijin so goddamn much.

>*american monkey noises in the distance*

so that's just HE shrapnel courtesy of gaijin's mechanics?

memry tv literally steals from khruschev

why not use fast reload ???

Hesh doesn't work correctly in any way. It is glorified HE with a shitty mechanic thrown in.
Only HESH where that would be even posdible would be from the FV4005 or if the Cent AVRE was in the game as those were massive rounds.
HESH shouldn't have the HE gaijin sphere or exploded by grazing an engine deck and blowing a tank up.
Same time HESH shouldn't have this perpendicular spawling gaijin got from sekrit dokumints since HESH works via a straight shockwave that creats the spall. Nor should the drop off at 30 degrees be that fucking severe or at all. It starts to occur at about 75 degrees and by 80 to 85 it either has little effect or ricochets.

wow such balance

Just started playing last weekend, played a bit on the weekend and a few games a night this week. My highest BR tank is the T-34 1942.

Should I buy the Taran? It looks cool.

...

when ?

if you give these savage little mudniggers known as slav developers any actual money I will be very disappointed in you, son

I'm liking the game so far, why should I not support them?)))))

Obj 120 is pretty difficult to play. It's big, has no armor, not really anything like you will see in the tech tree.

I'd recommend waiting for 1.75, maybe russians will get another Tier V premium. If not, reconsider getting a Tier IV

good goy ))))))))) +10GE

Very generous indeed, Gaijin. It's still like 750 GE with 75% off, too. If I didn't already have the KV-1B, I'd briefly consider it, but the KV-2 sucks shit no matter what you do with it.

)))))))))

JUST GIVE US YOUR MONEY GOYIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what is the cheapest to repair jap tier 4 plane that is also good, ki-84 ko?

J2M5

its repair cost is higher than ki-84 otsu's

This goes for 2D and 3D gurls alot for me. I'm usually more interested in the background than the supposed qt3.14 gurls.
This background reminds me alot of my old apartment.
I have pictures saved of supposed qt3.14 not for them but for the background. I label them like "comfy background reminds me of xyz"
Am I fucking retarded? Am I suddenly a massive faggot? Am I just dying? Have I transcended?

i merely asked advice on a good cheap tier 4 japanese fighter

Sorry, I revealed my autism level.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

shooting wrecks might give assists

Understandable, but diving one when there are enemies around and furiously pumping rounds into it before you crash seems a bit much. By the way, the same guy came after me the next match and pretty much the same thing happened: he dived on me as hard as he could and got shot down by a nearby ally after he overshot.

P47M is the most handheld garbage in the game

t. spitnigger
have you tried turning against that brick of a plane?

>he actually loses to P-47s

>he actually dies to planes he can't outturn
how is it even possible to be this bad

get fucked.

In his defence, it gets an air start and goes incredibly fast while climbing really well. I wouldn't say it's as bad as the later Spitfires but it's a real bastard.

not that guy but i don't mind

It might go fast or climb well but that literally doesn't matter when it's a massive brick like all the P-47s and can't maneuver on target worth a damn. There's literally nothing a guy in a P-47 can do against a remotely competent spit, 109, yak, or anything meta pilot if they evade properly.

p47 is BRIK hurehur

>i dun no howe 2 fli p47

>he actually thinks the P-47 is a brick
>he wouldn't know because he is a weeb soyboy who mains japan

yea hurrdurr totally doesnt lock up entirely at 700kph but you wouldn't know that because you're a shitposting memester

>literally spaded the P-47D-25
newsflash cockpistol, it flies like a fucking brick and doesn't retain its energy well

>P-47 doesn't retain energy well

WHEN

...

>p-47 dives and gets out of it
wtf it retains energy well

wtf r2y2 can outturn p-51h, what kind of bullshit is it

Is that a Leopard that's been fucked with to look like a Panther or Tiger 2?

wtf japanese planes outturn american planes, what kind of bullshit is this

Yeah, it's from "a bridge too far" and is the basic equivalent of the modded t-34s from Kelly's heroes and Saving private Ryan and the Patton King Tigers from Battle of the Bulge

>be literal shitter and die to the flying brick
>make monkey noises on /wtg/
post the plane you were flying, nigger
