GIVE ME DEVBLOG GAIJIN

>implying you'll get protected ammo
>implying you'll get thermals
>implying you'll get fire control systems

WHERE IS MY FUCKING DEVBLOG? I WANT MY FUCKING SLAV____ TANK

At least when you were facing high tier Germans you could bounce the 105mm Tiger shells easily, and even the 128mm shells of the Maus. You can't bounce shit at that tier anymore because of all the stupid modern tanks that drastically outclass you. The fact that War Thunder extends well into the '80s is retarded and never should have happened. Oh look! You have fucking planes from 1956 providing air cover for tanks developed in 1983! That's not stupid at all!

>gaijin releases M1
>they don't give us any decals to go with it, like a black chevron
>they finally DO give us a black chevron
>200 GE only for a limited time only))))))))))))))))))

Why did no one make a tank with two guns so you could have on gun ready top fire while the other was reloading, and possibly even have a backup gun in case one got destroyed?

>T-35
>SMK
>M6A1
>Maus
Honestly I'm not sure why people don't try that sort of thing more often
Maybe it's just not as effective as it might seem?

whatsa mutt?

Really heavy, takes up a lot of space, makes communication and commanding a little difficult, means you have to store twice as much ammo, the driver also has the position the tank for the optimal firing angles of two guns instead of one.

It's a logistics nightmare.

T-35 is my tankfu. I don't care that it makes the tigers transmission look good and that it's arguably designed to look imposing on military parades.
I'd play slav(e)s if I had it, that and the TB-3

Just pre-ordered this what am I in form?

New devblog out: warthunder.com/en/news/5326-development-m1-american-muscle-en

you got me there

Fuck you

faggot

a glass cannon that isn't fast

Imagine using 37mm AP before the solid shot buff. That is your HEAT shells post pen. Be ready for sad times and pain.

what's that tank called again? and i thought it gets APFSDS

the 8.7 one gets the APFSDS. The AMX-30 that is a pre-order has only HEAT and HE if it is anything like the AMX-30B that already exists.

They nerfed HEAT?

ah well, so it's complete shit.

no, it has had abysmal post pen damage for quite some time now

It is normal HEAT, not HEAT-FS. It has next to no post pen and is god fucking awful.

Oh. As long as HEAT-FS is still good.

>As long as HEAT-FS is still good

>only 906 heat-fs is worth anything
))

HEAT-FS was actually nerfed recently as well unfortunately. That and the fact that ammo sometimes disappears instead of exploding has made HEAT-FS worse than APDS and solid shot.

>still no devblog
Come on you fucking rats, if you aren't going to announce the Abrams, stop making me wait and disappoint me already

God fucking damn it Gaijin.

If it is any consolation, the nerf affected ATGM's as well

Why are the T-54's so shit

Is the M36 faster than the M18?

no

kek

Just angle bruh

t.shitter

is this bait?

i see no reason to use it then. To bad, i need a need something fast for my 6.3 line up

Are the burgers still under the impression they're getting the m1? Have I missed the disappointment yet?

T.plays bong tanks

I'm not even good and I can still get results like this
and this was mostly AFTER the BR change to 7.7

OH SHIT

don't do this to me, user
I want it too much

>56%

You are a moron of the largest caliber.
Did you also buy the AMX-13 ss.11?

should've made it:

Shit that is good. I was too busy dealing with the last remnants of my conciousness to come up with a good title like that ;-;

Better be a devblog out when I get back after blasting spaghettis out of the sky

49% now.

dios mio...

>ywn be an amerimongrel
feels fantastic, man

Are there any up to date mods which enables me to pick any tank I want to target practice against?

The AD-4 is almost as good for CAS in ground forces as the Ho 229 was. Every nation needs something like that

yes

Got a link?

>mfw now going to copy and paste this on every high tier GF battle I'm in

isn't this ages old?

>GIV ME AN MY WIFS SON DA DEV BLOG!

I can't remember, is every new vehicle which gets added announced with its own devblog before devserver opens?

live.warthunder.com/post/291945/en/

no. The chieftain mk 10 for example didn't get a devblog

Plane kill in my Valentine MkXI

What braindead slav thought installing the game in user/x/appdata was a good idea?

nice to know, here's hoping devserver opens soon and brings some nice unannounced surprises
that's fucking infuriating

Yes it did
warthunder.com/en/news/4946-development-chieftain-mk-10-dressing-up-for-war-en

my bad. There definetly were vehicles that got released without devblog tho

Cheers.

it's somehow missing the controls. H respawns enemys, F enables fast firing mode so you dont have to reload

looks good but still bummer

tank winter textures that aren't just occlusion maps when

>Last vehicle devblogs always started with dagor updates

IT'S COMING

yea iirc striker was one of them.

oh wow it's literally nothing since I'll still use ULQ which will have no effect for me

Reminder that this is the pattern (or lack thereof)

>world of tanks announces new graphics
>boreblunder quickly follows suit
makes ya think, doesn't it

wow it's as if competion has positive effects on both games in some regards

>gaijin is constantly reacting rather than being proactive
heh

Since the patch is going to be mostly visual """improvements""" that nobody is going to use because muh ULQ, is it going to be dead on arrival with literally no hype?

>more tier VI content
i literally couldn't care less. about the hype. I just hope they skip the M1 and give us the M1A1 since they've got a fucking Chally 1 coming.

>implying it wasn't because of War Thunder WoT HD maps are a thing now

>source: your ass

I gotta be honest I lold

Right back at you.
>implying WT graphical improvements are because of Wot HD maps

>GIVE ME M1A1 NOW

>if you stick a fork in your eye it will really hurt
>UHMM NO SWEETIE WHERE IS YOUR SOURCE ON THAT?????????
I hate niggers like you

>M1A1

Yes please

>wot launches encore to give a preview of what future graphics will look like
>shortly thereafter (2 months lmao) gaijin announces dagor 5
lmaoing@urlyfe boreblunder kiddie. World of Chads has an actual test to measure performance of the future graphical engine (wot encore) but all boreblunder has is hopes, dreams, and promises
source?

(((you)))

who here is eagerly waiting for the chimpout that will happen when gaijin releases the XM-1 and not the M1A1. it'll be absolutely delicious

With the Challenger 1 mk3 on the way I highly doubt it, that thing is fucking bonkers

Allow me to correct you.
>chimpout that will happen when the new burger tank turns out to be a piece of shit

what am I in for?

>gaijin releases the XM-1
>no armour
>105mm gun with 1960's ammo
>pigfat
>no fire control
>no ammo blowoff hatches
>but atleast it's fast and maneuverable)))))))))
this'll be ground forces F3D. yum

Mediocrity. Gun is pretty good, good explosive filler in the Type 4 Kou shell.

God, I fucking wish.

the asshurt will be monumental

>War Thunder puts two Italian tanks in the game
>World of Tanks quickly announces a full Italian tree
makes ya think, doesn't it

might as well stick with my talismaned chi-nu, might as well finish researching tier 3 with it

>Hello burger frends, we have special announcements to make )))))

* audience quiets down *

>We are introducings Abrams tenk )))))

* audience roars, the sound of ketchup being poured on french fries in a celebratory manner fills the room *

>With 105mm gun )))))

* audience bursts into a furious rampage, power scooters overload from the sudden overload, Congress declares war on every middle eastern country simultaneously *

>...With ammunition from 1989 that has 600mm of penetration )))))

* audience returns to ecstatic bliss, ketchup and whiskey cocktails are passed around, diabetes no longer considered a disease by the World Health Organization *

chinu II but a whole BR higher, twice as big and with the ability to bounce one (1) shell once every blue moon

how do I earn lions, goys

I need to save up for 1.77
