first boast best boast

2nd for fuck this map and it's fucking railyard which makes it near impossible to win for the Nazis.

nth for killing everything east of poland

Lt's change that to Baltics, and we have a deal. I'm fine with keeping Finland and the Balts.

Holy shit, I just got double charged for the same tank.
I spent 390k SL on the IS-3, didnt choose a crew, backed out, clicked order again and it charged me a second time.
I just lost 780k.
damn you gaijin

What is worth saving in Finland besides spurdo?
Counteroffer: kill everyone in Sicily and repopulate it with only the most attractive and healthy baltic people.

Buy our Lions )))))

>tfw I got the American Spitfire for 99.3% off

>tfw I got the Object 120 for 100.2% off

>tfw gaijin paid me 5000GE to use the nazibolt

I accept this counteroffer.

>tfw I got 9993GE to use the Ru-251

>German team begs to wait for them at the cap in every fucking game
Doing this actually makes sense though, and can be a real game-winner.

Fuck Steepto and their fucking ads.

>angling armor mattering
>facing soviets
ayyyyy lmao

Guys, I think I hate my teammates.

>oh yeah, let's just make it even easier for the enemy
>*refuses to do anything to make it even a little bit harder for the enemy because apparently, it doesn't matter*
>"WAAAAHHH WHE ARE THEY SO OP?!?!?!?!?!?"

>>German team doesn't know to flank
What BR are you playing? There is a huge block where all of the German vehicles are glacial relics that are dramatically less mobile compared to their postwar opponents except for the premium RU-251.

Who doesn't, when they cannot understand what 'cap and hold' mean?

Not him, but all angling seems to do is expose soft sides. Literally just shoot behind the leading wheel and get gibs,

anime

>slavniggers get to turbolaser through the lower side of a Tiger 1 or sometimes even through the closest piece of front plate to them because ))))))))))
>meanwhile everyone with the US 76 has to get good and throat punch the fuckers by shooting under the mantlet at the horizontal drive
But hey, at least I'm not a slavnigger
and the naziboo chimpouts when I blast the turret crew of some cock-sure Tiger driver when he thinks he's invincible is always worth it

Playing late war German shit is a nightmare for that reason. God dammit I hate these fucking russian apes.

russia is dumb and stupid

Turret collision with the ground fucking WHEN? I'm sick of having to abandon teammates that could be saved, just because their turret is clipping through the terrain
Also gun barrels colliding with buildings/terrain when?

This Pz.Kpfw. M4 748 (a) is your teammate, say something nice to them.

Gimme one Gaijin reeeeee

>$50 sherman
good goy

muh rarity

you are a bad person

Fucking IDIOTS DON'T STOP TO SHOOT ON TIGHT BRIDGES JUST GO YOU CUNTS

don't worry homie, here's the correct version

oh I see now, thanks

Do you know how mazes work?

That's not an IS2

>His tank doesn't have a time machine

>his tank can't go back as far as 3.3/4.3

how the fuck do you use tail gunners?
I get like one hit out of 3000 rounds fired.
quite frustrating.

why Sicily only when we could wipe the whole southern Italy plus Sardinia?

We keep them and Spain as reminders of how far Europe can fall.

we really shouldn't, I don't want 50% of my taxes to end up paying for Vincenzo's neetbux

...

shutup shutup shutup shutup

>wake up

...

If only the IS-3 had that kind of depression

if only i didnt

I saw guy on War Thunder r***** called OnlyMildlyDepressed

panter V in simulator, TK simulator

This happened, and then I spontaneously disconnected, no SL or RP, probably counted my vehicle destroyed. This game is dying.

The only thing dying is your internet connection, drama queen.

>The P-47 needs an air start because it has such a bad climb rate!

This logic is fucking absurd and I have no idea why people think it makes any sense. How fuck does it make any sense?

>The A6M2 should get an air start because it has a bad climb rate!
>The P-38 should have stronger flaps because it turns badly!
>The Jumbo should get unlimited ammo because its gun sucks!

All of these are ridiculous ideas, so why is giving the P-47 a high-speed air start acceptable? I wouldn't even mind if it got a low altitude air start (maybe 300m of the ground) or something.

>Gigabit and everything else is working

Nah senpai, my speeds are clocking in fine. Slavs might be playing with their servers.

to be fair it's started happening more often to me, too. it used to happen when there was something fucky with my connection but now I keep seeing floating tanks in the distance even with 40ms ping 0% pl

no, this is literally the cause of you dropping out of the server

this isnt some big conspiracy, your internet just decided to take a shit

let him ground start, but underground to over

dude i feel high even though im not whats going on lmao

it might be a tumor

could be dude. might of caught ALS from this guy at the store lol

>optics on the Leopard and M60 have incredible zoom even before you zoom in even further
>meanwhile the T-54 and Obj906 get both good zoom for fighting at close range AND the zoom-in puts them on par with the Leo and M60
>at a tier where the game loves to throw you into tight maps where the average engagement range is "close" to "point-blank"
)

>meanwhile, brits get literally shit tier optics across the whole line

british tanks have stabilizers))) bad optics is very balanced))))

LOL GET GOOD SHITTERS WOOOO

The M60 gunsight only had an 8x magnification level, the T-54 had 3.5x and 7x

where do you get the exact magnification values? service manuals?

unironically the ru.wikipedia page for whichever tank it is

they list the specific model of the gunsight, magnification levels, the ballistic computer, even the rangefinder in the tank. I assume the sources themselves come from manuals and the such, but I'm not that concerned that I'm going to try sifting through cyka blyat cyrillic links to find it.

>The aiming systems were provided for both the gunner and the tank commander; they had 1x or 10x selectable magnification power, increasing to x15 in the Mk5 and beyond, and they were replaceable with IR vision systems for night operations (3x magnification power).
go ahead and tell me that what we have in game isn't 1x-3x

>can reliably get air kills with dual 40mm's even when the pilot isn't coming straight at me
>can't aim for shit with dual 37's and even when I do manage to hit it's almost always the fucking AP round and sparks
what the fuck is wrong with me

>T-34-85's driver's hatch covers less than 25% of the front plate
>somehow 80% of the shots land there
>even long 88 bounces off that shit sometimes
Fucking hell that thing's like a black hole.
I'm really starting to love this piece of 99.99% purity bias

>Ho-Ro in 9.0 match
>=P0NY=

what the actual fuck did he mean by this

why is wtg so full of ESL's

>someone in this thread has warped an image of Reviewbrah

These people need to be shot.

shut up

this is (you)

>some 109 k4 chasing p47 near the ground
>cut in and make 109 break off the p47
>chase him for a bit before shooting the tip of his wing off
>he hasn't died but from the look of it he will crash soon
>said p47 strolls in and shoots 109 just before that 109 rams into the mountain

I'm just about done with you slag loose jawed kikes.
Stop while you're ahead.

>tumblr_oc
I'm going to need you to fuck off.

(you)

You're all scum. Jesus Christ and our Lord who created you will send you to eternal hell soon enough.

i post hitler and anime so i know i'm going straight to heaven

This

... Sad!

>angled armour only matters against allies and not soviets because )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
>m18s sprint for the caps
>flanking in slow machines

Germany just exists to get clubbed most of the time. Their only strength is distance now. Of course i'm not talking about anything higher than 6.7 right now.

thanks for the neetbux

do you know why Americans have niggers while we got t*rroni? because they chose first

why is america tier IV so fucking painful i am so fucking close to uninstalling this shit game because of this i have all the russian and german tanks but fuck america

Should have won the cold war, tovarish.

It's not that bad, just use the T25, ignore the pershing

>use the T25
>ignore the pershing
At least the Pershing can do things before dying.

>a bigger target with the same gun and just as useless armour a whole .7 BR higher
>gets shit done

>just as useless armor
Have you ever played the Pershing since around 1.71?

Yes I went back and spaded it actually. Played exactly the same as the T25, except had a much higher chance of encountering tanks I couldn't do a thing to without significant patience

>needing elevators

Clearly you didn't spade it or try very hard if you thought it played like a T25. Its not great but its certainly better than that pile of shit.

>slavniggers get to turbolaser through the lower side of a Tiger 1 or sometimes even through the closest piece of front plate to them because ))))))))))
pretty sure thats a thing with all tanks; blame gayjins trash ballistics and damage models instead of bussian rias))

no
