First for wehraboo genocide.

are the memes about centurions raping tigers true or is just tiger niggers and teebs exageration? im about to unlock cent 1 and don't know what to expect

Jap M24 with improved optics and extra fiddy cal never.
Enjoy your copy paste lmao.

>optics
>being important
equal chance for everybody tovraish))))))))))))))))

dont make me cry

>play 3.3
>every teammate is a braindead drooling moron
>especially slavs

I don't know how the CentMk1 is going to perform for you, as I've never used it
However, once you get a CentMk3, the rape begins, because in my experience you'll rarely get uptiered past 6.7 and you'll frequently see Tiger 1's and 2's

Kinda exaggerated. Tigers are a good tank, but a fairly average heavy tank at that BR. No tank around that tier has any trouble killing them, but centurions/adps tanks just have even less trouble penetrating them at long ranges and weird angles.

No one has any trouble 1-shotting centurions either, but at least they don't have a heavy tank spawn point cost.

If I ever really need GE, I'll fucking buy them. 500 GE was nice, sure as hell not worth the grind

How do i have fun in the M24?

unironically just flank

How do you not have fun in the M24? It's a sick tank

*flubs shot*
*autistically sprays mg at you*

The J7W is invincible.

You really can't make money in this game at high ranks, unless you nail it and also your team wins.

but most of the maps are shitty three-lane MOBA maps that makes sure you get memed on by someone in a hull-down position if you rush ahead and try to flank

We still lost this game
Low tier slav pilots are irredeemably bad

when?

Grand slams for lancasters when?

>Airfield 1-shots
yes please

I've been asking this question in every shooting range, and Q&A for like 2 years
still didn't get an answer despite
"we DO read them all!"

Will Gaijin add J7W2?

I just had a game where i couldn't penetrate the front of a Hetzer (without any other angling, mind you) TWICE. With a Tiger 2 (H).
This guy literally just stood there while i shot his right side twice at 300m not even giving a fuck.
What the fuck, War Thunder?

That's because the Grand Slam would put the Pe-8's nuke to shame, and we can't let that happen, tovarisch

>arcade
well there's your problem

>Things that never happened: the post

Why does the cooldown for spotting targets have to be so long? I get that the cooldown for "missing" needs to be long to prevent abuse by spamming it but when you successfully spot a target there should be next to no cooldown. Or am I not thinking of some other way it could be abused?
or maybe it is just because german players would flip their shit if their whole team was spotted from their camping spots within 10 seconds

Just because you're such a dumb cunt i'll go and find the replay right now.

>the next update will be focused on Italian UFOs and "tanks"

SOON

>he claims he can't pen a hetzer with a shell that has 200mm of pen
You are either trolling or just too retarded for this game.

I grind tanks with arcade because i'm not braindead like you, bucko.

This is bait

>I grind tanks with arcade because i'm not braindead like you, bucko.
>getting few hunrder rp each match while spending more time in each match
>not brain dead
i'll give you that you almost got me

Here, moron.
It wasn't a Tiger 2 (H) it was a Tiger 2 (P), same gun, however.
Hetzer wasn't angling. Kill yourself.

Hopefully never

>spawn
>get killed at the start because it happens
>waste your time
>get marginally more RP if you do good but you have to try twice as hard
>"spending more time in each match" you're literally retarded.
Arcade is better for grinding, cyb

Why does Gaijin not have the bow gunner in either the US or Japanese version?

Hm, why'd I stop playing Tier IV German tanks again
>first game
>Ger vs US, Slavs, Brits, and Frogs
>we're outnumbered by 2 players
Oh, right, because it's shit

It's bloody amazing lad. What are you doing wrong with it? It's going to be a staple until I lock higher rated Japanese tanks.

>hetzer with highly angled plate is cresting a hill increasing the angle even more
>retard doesn't understand that highly angled armor can bounce rounds so he shoots and bounces the round off
>retard gets angry and shit posts on a Cambodian claymation forum

Hope we get more maps like Fulda Gap and the Maginot Line.

I don't care if they're as big as those two I just want more maps where you can't snipe the enemy spawn after 30 seconds of driving

>gunpod 109s

>unagnled
from that pic it looks like that hetzer was on a hill so it was angled, no wondered it bounced you retard

>when you shoot down two 109s and an Me 410 in your stock 406C1

Reminder to Kamikaze every Russian tank in Ground RB

>zoom in to hide the fact it's arkaden

>penetration values change from arcade to realistic

I play it too, I know nothing with the DMs, guns etc change

I just wanted a (You)

>weebtrash in the OP

Aanyone have any idea about this?

For your consideration: the Yak-4 is underrated as fuck and can wreak havoc if used properly.

Discuss.

Who the fuck is moot
Last I checked the site was owned and run by a jap

original CEO of Veeky Forums, moot started it all, reitred some time ago and sold site to jap moot

Haven't even flown it

That was rhetorical

Careful now you might trigger the shills.

Flanking in War Thunder is just a meme now. The vast majority of the time you wont be able to do it on the large scale and you will essentially never be able to do it on the small scale.

Getting to that hill on the edge of the map doesn't mean shit when you get tagged once by a plane or MGs and are lit up like a Christmas tree on the map. Or those ULQ users that can see you all the way across the map.

Rushing to the side of a tank after you destroy it's breach is also opening your ass up to dicks from 4 fronts.

These maps arn't made for active and reactive flanking. I mean fuck they hardly work for passive flanking.

Finnland is the best map in game, this is why it's no longer in rotation. It was too good

in for what

glass cannon

best sherman

probably the most realisticly modeled tnak in game
as you can kill tigers but you can't take shot from them so you must always either be the first one to shot or do ambushes

Adding French tanks was so fucking stupid

Pretty fun. A lot more maneuverable and a much better turret rotation than the Achilles.

>armour viewer doesn't show the combined armour of all layers
this is just pure laziness desu

on your part, sure

WoT can do that tho.

sorry I don't feel like fixing gaijin's laziness. oh wait I can't because this isn't free software

>t64 takes 3 shots to kill an m24, only gets him with a fire
holy fuck slavs are beyond retarded

>gaijin lets players work on game
>suddenly soviet machines stop being OP
>NATO guns like L7 start to work like they did in real life
>APDS issues, US armor issue fixed withing a week
>suddenly soviets get raped in every game

Autism is a force, none shall underestimate under any circumstances.

...

I would love to have lower tier tanks perhaps even WW1 :3

The tank game would unironically be better if it was PS4 exclusive so everyone had to play with the same graphics features enabled.
>Want to play tanks
>Don't want the game to look like a PS2 game just to be competitive.

that's max graphics though, except for half on anti-aliasing and grass in gun sight turned off

>have 5 terabytes of games installed, 4.2ghz i7, 6gb 1060, 16gb ram, no issues with literally hundreds of games

>war thunder spontaneously refuses to start
>deleting it and redownloading didnt fix it
>runnin as admin didnt fix it
>no suggestions in any threads i look at by googling the problem fix it

nice fucking game you fags got here, real fuckin nice

>g*rman shitter thinks that angle wouldn't bounce
I hope Gaijin nerfs your Hans shit tech tree even more.

>can't put bushes on planes
wtf I hate war thunder now

you're retarded. Even if you have everything on ULTRA you still have slav vision every time you use binoculars

>can't use the camera to pan around and check where your tank has been hit/penetrated half the time because the hit decal simply won't fucking show up
goddamnit

Me too, I want more biplane as well dammit.

>Put bushes on planes
>Acts as spaced armor
>Doesn't transfer damage to plane
>everyone is a fireball as bush armor ignites.

WHAT STUPID SLAVNIGGER DEVELOPER DECIDED YOU SHOULD ONLY GET 60 POINTS PER SPOTTING ASSIST??

Yes, that's my point.

)
What I want to know is what stupid slavnigger dev decided that only lights that are tier 2 and above should be able to spot targets, effectively locking off almost literally all of scout-worthy vehicles germany and britain have

It's probably a good thing they aren't even trying to compete with the garbage fire that is WoWS, they'd get blown out there too.

>It's probably a good thing they aren't even trying to compete with the garbage fire that is WoWS, they'd get blown out there too.
Well the few DDs we have now have been more fun than wows. So unless they fuck it up somehow or WG fixes their shit, WT will have better naval combat.
But its still not good.

17lber stock shell is so unbearably bad, T-34's are more or less invulnerable from the front unless you hit the turret ring. I feel like in real life just the kinetic energy of that hitting the UFP would rip it off since it's shitty slav steel.

>I'm so unbearably shit
ftfy

frog planes worth playing?

ok...
...listen...

I have a NEED 4 SPEED...

...and cannons that can delete an entire team in a single burst...

what plane do I get?

262 A-1/U4?

Hunter

WE NEED NEW FUCKING PLANES, GAIJIN
GLOSTER JAVELIN WHEN

>he111 tanks 3 40mms to the cockpit

Is anyone else saving up warbonds for a pilot icon??

yeah

no

>75MM duck in tank RB
Holy shit who knew fun could be had in this game
