Can you imagine being this (201056382) autistic?

so it's gonna be one of those threads
see you lads in a 100 or so posts

On the plus side, you denied his kill

>attempt to make a new thread
>russians immediately come in and chimp out
Why?

Plane RB past tier 3 is objectively shit.

True, and it was a slavnigger, which makes it sorta better, but this crewlock shit has got to go
6 fucking minutes waiting to play my goddamn tanks again just because the game fucked me when I rolled the dice is a bit much

just before gaijin release the patch that makes war thunder good

ie. not soon enough

what do you care if it was a Soviet tank?

burgers truly are shitters

>Fire at side of Tiger II turret
>APDS shell hits breach dead on
>it goes yellow
>he turns his turret and nukes me

dumb stupid game

Plane RB is ruined by P-47s

Okay little Misha, take your (You) and run along now
the human beings are trying to have a conversation

lol you're gonna have to give me something other than your pathetic USD to make me leave.

stupid burger

literally burgers are the most handheld nation lol

fuck all American scumlords

>denying a sizable chunk of your income
Wow, what a brave little slav(e)nigger! You can have another (You), but only because I feel bad for creatures that are lesser than me

how do you lose to americans lol

i don't.

even though they're the most handheld nation ever they still constantly lose. pathetic really lol

lol fuck off burger shitter go play the jumbo more while I play my superior and balanced Obekt 906

...

actually the least "handheld" nation because of not being excellent at anything really but dive limit... but ok

>slave calling burgers handheld
LOL

When is the T32 ever going to get its ammunition corrected?

Never, is payback for winning cold war cyka)

when the T34 AP stop underperforming

because
S U B H U M A N

Is the P4T's firing sound fucked for you guys?

This

Jumbo, T29, T34 and the Super Pershing

Is it worth getting to the Cent Mk.1 and beyond for the Brits? Stuck with the Comet and Crusader AA Mk.1, quite a pain when the Comet dies

lmao could you imagine being a slav

>subhumans are so fucking bad that they consider the Spergshing, Jumbo, and T34 to be OP
Truly, a miserable existence
I wish we could help them somehow, but the only cure for them is a healthy dose of lead to the brain. Oh well.

I'm not sure about the CentMk1, as I don't have it, but the Mk3 and FugVagen are absolutely worth the suffering
you'll still have to deal with your APDS doing fuck-all, but we've got the AP buff and the stock AP round to more ably kill the less heavily armored stuff, and the stabilizers make things pretty much a point and click adventure

FUCK THE TIGER II P. I'm sick of everyone from 3 BRs lower at least being able to kill it through it's stupidly weak turret.

>FugVagen
Haven't seen this meme before, which tank is it?

>you'll still have to deal with your APDS doing fuck-all
Thought it was a better option? Oh well, stock grind shouldn't be so bad then

Does the Firefly do well at 5.3? Tired of having to go AA when I loose the Comet.

>Which tank is it?
The FV4202

>Does the Firefly do well at 5.3
With the AP buff, I'd say it's much better off than before, but you're still rolling around in a slower sherman
You could still try to use it, just don't expect any miracles

Alright, thanks!

I'll try to use it, otherwise I'm going back to 4.7 as soon as I get the Challenger

No. British 6.3 is as best as it's going to get. After that, Gaijin has nerfed every british tank so bad that it's undeniably clear that there's anti-anglo bias. The Chieftain Mk.3 is the only fun tank you're going to get after 6.3, and maybe the Chieftain Mk.10 with APFSDS, until APFSDS is nerfed like APDS was.

>Chieftain still has incorrect hull armour values
>Mk.5 Chief at 8.7 for literally no reason
It only gets worse.

>late tier 3 USA
Is tier 4 atleast better?

Tier 4 has the Ontos, but otherwise no

>switch to APDS from HESH
>commander yells out "Load, APCR!"

I know it bas bad, but christ. Alright, I'll get myself to 6.3 and stay there until they decide to fix things.

Is 6.7 okay with the Caernarvon and Strv?

My God, the T-54 1947 sucks. The T-44-100 is a better tank in 7.7 matches.

yeah
theyre better centurions

>otherwise no
Jesus christ
>get into a game
>my shitbox with a bad gun gets tapped by a mg

That's been my USA experience so far

When did they change out the M3 .50s on the Bearcat to M2?

>tank with a turret that isn't operated by hand-cranking
>gunner gets SIMPSONS'd
>turret turns slower
)

it gets a bit better with the '51

Any frog here, I'm not sure if the frog beta access packs are worth it. Should I wait or nah?

wait or grind

Well, I'd have to grind on both decisions. Buying a pack just gives me acess to the whole tree and not just tier 1 and 2

You forgot

What the fuck is wrong with this map, and why the fuck haven't they fixed it yet?

you get a bunch of meme lights that, going by my experiences with the nipp bulldog, should be pretty fun
you also get mediums and heavies with the most cucked gun in the entire game, without HEATFS to make sure it isn't even remotely good

it's the most fun I've had in ages tbqhwyf.

sure, as pointed out there's lots of shady stealthnerfs but I find them so enjoyable. chieftain mk.3 is my fav tanks, vf4005 is just the derpiest gun you can find, vickers mbt is just too much fun, to go circles around mauses and meme on them with your 6 sec reload

>6s reload

Mines is literally 5.5, with the max being 5s

nobody can compete with this level of memery

yeah it might be 5.5, I'm currently spading the conqueror so I don't remember it that well, but yeah, just too stupid

>it's the most fun I've had in ages tbqhwyf.
Should I just switch to RB when I play brits? Got the Wyvern if so, impossible in AB with that subhuman reverse and autistic teams.

>Wyvern in RB
No I don't want any more ground & pounders plaguing my teams.

absolutely, in AB everyone and their mother will exploit the weakpoints of a chieftain to death, you'll die as soon as someone sees you on your vickers because lolnoarmour and lolmapdetection. plus, wyvern is a damn good CAS plane

Nevermind didn't notice you were talking about ground RB, carry on.

Playing the Comet 1 though, glad to hear that the wyvern is useful

just suffer a bit more, as soon as you unlock the first centurion, the 4002 and the 4005 it's all downhill (well apart from the horrible stock grind)

I hope you're right, sure not fun right now.

Jesus christ the AMX-30s HEAT post-pen is just absolute trash, the first module it hit just absorves everything, literally worse then a solid AP shell of the earlier tanks.
Doesnt help that hitting someones ammo doesnt actually do anything but turn it yellow.

Atleast the HEATFS of the AMX 13-90 kills shit dead, spalls like a motherfucker.

HEAT just has too many disadvantages in WT. I almost always avoid it.

russians are true subhumans

>still lose

is it just me or is it normal that when i press spacebar on my typhoon mk.Ib both bombs drop at the same time?

everything is normal in war thunder tovarish

you get to bring two bobms)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))but only drop both at once))))))))))))))))))))))))))not fair otherwise(((((((((((((

)))

How do you think a plane would react if it only dropped a single wing mounted bomb?

it would be extremely unbalaced but seeing the shit gaijews FMs pull out I wouldn't be surprised if it were implemented

Maginot Line is such an unbelievably bad map, holy shit.

agreed

>charge at enemy at top speed
>5 kills before we're camping their spawn
>none of them have points to respawn for a 6th kill

lies!
open maps where you have to drive for 5 minutes to get to the point are fun! you're just shitter!

more 9.0 vehicles so matches won't always be t-64 vs mbt/kpz+chief WHEN?
maps which make sense WHEN?
italian tech tree WHEN?
ricorchet sound effect WHEN?
planes-free RB mode WHEN?
apds correct value WHEN?
but most importantly, OTOMATIC FUCKING WHEN?

why do all the ground force maps look like absolute shit? why can't gayjohn design a good looking map?

Write up a good map here

>they should do away with cap zones and have other objectives to make your phaseline and final objectives as part of a higher scheme of operational art as maneuver. Make people fight as a team and make them have to achieve timed phaselines on a given 'advance or die!' basis and you will see the true desperation of warfare as a win:lose condition from which there is really little avoidance of horror except by exemplary perfection of the operational arts.

oh and, actually having it designed to look like the motherfucking ardennes is a good start

>drive to the bunker complex near B

>tfw Boris Sound Mod is ded
>tfw Epic Thunder is a loud, headache inducing and buggy mess that won't stop cutting in and out and is missing sounds entirely, like for artillery and some planes
I just want my guns to not sound like ass, godamnit
I'm sick of my 75mm guns sounding like fucking squirt guns, and the 76's aren't much better either

alright goys
t64 or kpz70

these are the moments in which I remind why I keep playing

Leopard 1 A1A1

>try out RB as /wtg/ said
>3.3 germans
>it's pretty alright
>1-2 kills per game
>win every time with a stomp
>switch to AB with the same lineup
>almost 3k RP in less than 10 min with 7+ kills
Is it high-tier RB where it's at? Really don't find RB much better except for the lack of markers.

nice try

>wake up
>remember I'm not russian
Today is a good day.

High tier is paying sl to play

Unless you have premium or you jump into a plane you lose money

A cap and two kills is 5k, while a repair is 7k

explain this shit to me RIGHT FUCKING NOW
