First for Stuka

How to play Leo 1 without catching autism?

Is there any way to make the Stuka fun? It feels like it's at such a handicap because it gets uptiered unfairly in 99% of all games.

>face P-51 in Yak-3P
>just facefuck him with my nose mounted 23mm
>really just facefuck anything that don't have scary nose-mounted canons like me
people are dumb

Perhaps in a squad, usually makes any vehicle fun

For fucks sakes the FV4202 ruins all the games

Unbalaced piece of teeb shit

>play Yak-9P
>this shit happens
On one hand, the team was full blown retarded, on another it was facing F-82s out of the ass.

20mm memepods and erase enemy bombers and lawnmowers.

>b-b-but MUH APHE

what decals should i use to make my soviet sherman a rolling warcrime in SB?

I love the old black and whites

cover it in US flags and put some shitty free decals on the side

US stuff if you can.

37 mm gunpods

But what about the fun ruining seal clubbers?

>New patch
>Avenger guns sights STILL not fixed

Nuke Moscow when?

)))))))))))))))))))))))

Cry more teeb nigger

none because low tier soviets dont get matched against us

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

what the fuck are you doing mate

hey tone down the language a bit mate.

he plays on his a chink smartphone. Why do you think he can't shoot for shit.

That round should have easily penetrated

"One of the tanks is unusuable and the 4.7 line up is dire anyway, Gajin is aware of the issue and has made no steps to remedy it."

"Hahaha fuck you dad, I'm gonna go jerk off in my hand held kraut/slav shit and watch execution videos."

>can gut teaniggers from their frontal hull plates with tigger 1 APHE within reasonable range
>can't do it with the supposedly superior burger 90mm APHE at point blank
why

>there are people who play this game and actually don't want to gas every filthy slav to extinction

>Decide to give 6.3 tanks a go for the first time in ages
>Kill feed is fucking empty for ages
>A couple people move up
>Turned into mincemeat
>Decide to try and flank myself
>Drive around for fucking ages
>Finally get into a position where I think enemies might be
>Go around a corner
>One-shotted by a guy who had been staring at that corner for the last 5 minutes or so waiting for me to come around

Do you people "enjoy" this, or are tanks something you simply play out of habit at this point?

))))))
Try shooting for the turret roof, that seems to go right through my shit
I think something is seriously wrong with burger 90mm though, I've bounced off the unangled sides of fucking T-44-100's with 90mm APHE

Addendum to this:

>See an enemy Tiger II (H)
>Shoot him in the side
>Pens but somehow his gunner is still alive
>He slowly turns his turret towards me
>Clicks once on my UFP
>My whole crew turns to dust

No wonder you fuckers are mad all the time, this shit is unbearable.

Which belts for F8F-1? Stealth or Tracers with APIT?

I got HEATFS now so it doesn't really matter but those teakikes caused more suffering in the grind for it than krauts and slavs combined

I'd go for stealth, tracers just gives away exactly where you're firing so it's easier to evade and now that .50's can cut through wing struts you really don't need any extra chance for fires

OHHHHH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE WALMART PARKING LOT

WHAT SOOO PROUDLY WE SHARTED

WHO'S BROAD SHARTS AND BRIGHT SHARTS, THROUGH THE PERILOUSSSS SHART GHETTOOO

The issue with teebs is that they can pen anything but nothing can pen them from the front

ANOTHER addendum:

>Shoot an FV4202 and obliterate him
>Start driving forward
>Everything is going fine
>Suddenly start teleporting around
>Entire tank fucking explodes
>Nobody gets the kill
>No suicide message either
>Not enough spawn points to spawn in again
>Try to exit to hangar
>Screen fades to black
>Then fades back into the match with "MISSION IN PROGRESS" on the middle of the screen
>Try to quit
>Fades to black
>Fades back into the mission
>Can't quit
>Manually end the process
>Game crashes for about 10 seconds before the process finally ends

Alright, I think I'm not playing tanks this high level for a while.

>I think something is seriously wrong with burger 90mm though
I hope you aren't just finding that out. The 90mm has always been garbage.

what ammo should I use for my A6M3

Which A6M3?

universal or whatever has the most HEF (not HEF-T) in it

universal

the first one

Stealth or Universal. Pure HEF rounds without tracers in them are way, way more powerful than HEF-T rounds. Stealth is really good if you are confident in your ability to get in close and aim, which you should be doing with a Zero anyway.

Should i complete my British premium tank collection?

thunderbolt is pure aussie banter

>Independent

Not if you want something fun to play. Just ran a game in a stock Charioteer and Challenger...

>Flank
>Put shots into the sides and rear of enemies.
>Aim for crew and ammo.

Enemy just drives off, slowly turns and one-shots me.

It's still the worst of all the multi-turreted tanks by far. Even the Ro-Go is a much better tank... and that one is just a barn they attached tracks and a gun to.

little update for anyone who cares. It when through 12 hr and 3 minutes.
proofs

196 free goldie birdies + 2 other appeals that also went through. Total of like 450 goldies birdies

ST-A2 can actually aim backwards

but I'll have to do heatfs grind again
and it has no pintle fiddy

The HEAT-FS grind isn't as bad with the reduced RP costs. But yeah, the lack of MG is gay especially since the A1 has that nice mount that can aim all the way up.

yeah, I'm pretty much done with these pay to win bushes.
does lowering my graphics settings prevent them from rendering?
otherwise I'm done with WT until boats come out.

Who should I play in air
Nip or Kraut?

I play Japan because I naturally gravitate to agile but frail character archetypes but if you don't want to burst into flames from something just looking at you wrong you'd best go germany

man the next japanese aircraft looks amazing

fucking russian teams, man

Okay, Germans it is
Can I paint all my planes Red?

Why?

Hmmm, I wonder why we lost
we spawned on C side and only the Caern had even a single kill

Because I like Red
Can I do it?

Not in-game, but you can make your own skin and paint it how you want

Okay thanks
Found lots of Red skins on the link in the OP

>playing the objective
lol what a fag you are

For some reason, this made me wheeze with laughter.

Hey Im a warthunder

>coldwarSB is gone
???

hello
please die

nice dude I'm a warthunder too

>not just clicking on the hull

git gud

Is there any reason to play the ISU 122?

There is no reason to """play""" the Russian TDs between the SU-85 and the SU-100

The team that camps the most always wins

Im having quite a bit of fun with the 152mms

That explains why I got a whole 50 eagles when I woke up. Thanks invite code bro

I get this constantly because I have a laptop with a GTX 1060 so I play a game or two during lunch at work.

*thunders*
OH NO
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Label your FUCKING helper helpers right NOW

What do I need to know about lineups? What do I need to know before starting to play tanks?

Actually I think I know what happened, I had my phone tethered for a reason and launched the game before removing it.

Still strange that it gave me the same IP

I get random emails every now and then despite using the same IP with my desktop, they really need to start improving the mechanism.

You better explain RIGHT NOW how that changes anything or I'm calling child protective services for helper helper right fucking now.

Learn from your mistakes and take note of where enemies killed you from, if it seems like a good position then it probably is.

Don't trust your team mates

Capping zones is secondary to killing nearby enemies, unless your tickets are low
