First for slav genocide

Second for anime

third for mum

if she sat on your desk, would you sniff it after she got up and left?

not an issue if you flank )))))))

[KV-1 Visibly Shaking in the Background]

As much as a chore as 7.0 america is, I'm having fun.

>F-84B
I fucking hate this plane's performance but at least it's feels good slamming people with tiny tims and HVARs
>M41A1
Great flanking with APDS
>T32
enjoy 7.0 and 7.3 matches where it can actually compete as a heavy tank
>M18
Small maps just oneshot people in the side EZ
>AD-4
Hydras are hard to kill with but I'm getting the hang of how to aim them with 800m convergence
>Ontos
Stupid fucking fun when i get put into a 8.0 or 7.7 match and just laugh hysterically at blowing Leo niggers and T-54s back to hell

researching the M103, what should I expect? Should I just research something else on preparing for the Abrams grind?

>not having the T-92 in your lineup

why?

Guys would a GTX 1060 6GB/Ryzen 5 1600 combo handle War Thunder with max settings at 1440p 60fps?

>Fuck up in the T-44 and die
>"Lol whatever I have slavpanther"

fun game

I borrowed a friend's 1060 3GB edition about a year ago and it murdered this game on max at 1080p. Check benchmarks for WT over YouTube with the GPU you want to use. I'm sure any modern quad core CPU won't give you shit for WT.

Lower profile
Faster
Quicker reload I think

>boats
>"Oh man, I can't wait to play world of war ships, but with planes also bombing the shit out of me"
Don't get me wrong, maybe we'll actually see fighters bring bombs, drop them on the idiots in boats, and then go back to dog fighting

>Lower Profile
don't care
>Faster
wrong, the Bulldog tops off at 72km/h and the 92 tops off at 57km/h
>Quicker reload
by 0.1s

I constantly beat bulldogs to spots before them
>not caring out lower profile
shitter
>not caring out a reload buff
woah, shitter

no one cares about a speed boost in reloading until a tank rounds the corner after they just fired

>minmaxing every last tenth of a second off over fun
shitter

I have AMD Phenom II X6 with 8Gb DDR3 and GTX 960 2Gb and I run 50-70 FPS 1080p on movie settings (max) so yes.

Also inb4 the T-64B 1984 is going to have 30mm of RHA addon-armor as a modification giving the upper glacis ~400mm RHAe LoS protection )))

>It's weebs hang behind your tail gunners episode

Who else here /gunship/ here?

can't wait

>be N1K1
>1.4km above b17
>dive on him, focus right wing
>slide behind his wing as I dive past
>belly gunner hits me once as the plane starts to plummet out of control
>I burn to death

Planes yes, tanks i'm not so sure on.
Running 2x 980's with a 1440p monitor and for tanks it stays anywhere from 60 to 100 so with a single 1060 I would have thought 60 would be your top end with some dips on a 1440p.

>thinking a "super M24" is a bad tank because a "super M22" exists
spotted the real shitter here

woah...I shook the shitter hive.
have fun playing your inferior US Light Tank

Post Trax, 1hour+ eddition. Shit you can set to loop and just play for hour on end to.

My favorite shit to listen to for playing anything fast.

Lmaoing @ your life spending more SP to spawn with the same gun

is the boat part of the game worth spending $30 to get into early

i like boats

not an hour but
youtube.com/watch?v=TMBT8BkQxGU&t=802s

Pretty much only if you're sick of WoWS to the point that you'll be patient enough to play when Gaijin says you can. Honestly I'm surprised they haven't rushed boats out the door yet just for the profit.

>YT playlist
Just fill my history up senpai

I'm working on a YT vid of editing up WT to look like a game of BO3 road rage with takedown slow mo take down cams and shit for it. Holy shit is it a big project.

Not what I was looking for but what a pleasant surprise.

>a tank at 6.0 is inferior to a tank at 6.7
no shit sherlock, maybe I don't want to play against 7.7s so I play the 6.0 tank over the 6.7

>hardcore
Get this normie shit out of here.

2.3 BR premium when?

IRL is the coaxial MG on the Abrams a weak spot or is there some engineering magic going on behind the gun?

If my understanding is correct, the coax is basically contained in a case outside of most of the turret armor rather than be a hole in the armor.Think how the Shilka's guns are mounted but much tighter fitting. Why they give it a 1200 round belt rather than worrying about reloading it in combat.

Is the P-38L or P-51D-5 a better for grinding the tier IV American line? Is it worth getting a talisman for any of them?

are there any tutorials for air combat so I know what the fuck I'm doing and how to shake an enemy off

Save it and talisman the P-51D-30
Even after it got it's BR bumped up it still performs like a god and the .50 buff

Play with a friend that will teach you. Or just play RB and take your time learning the hard way. I've found some help looking up old US army and RAF training videos.

>shoot side of kv1 with pzIIh
>bounce
wtf i love random bounce chance now

thanks friend

Also if you want something a bit more niche in the way of the D30. The f-82 is a godly BnZ that can Groundpound stupid well too. Great for taking into tank RB with it's 2x2000lbs bombs and the gunpod is worth climbing with. 800m convergence and spray people down from 1.6km in a headon makes EZ 3-5 kill games.

One Arc Degree is super chill.
youtube.com/watch?v=HuU0n6LtRQg&t=58s

Of those two the P-38L is better, you can turnfight every other heavy fighter and boom and zoom single engine fighters, plus the armament is better for sniping and the roll rate means you are hard to shake. But the P-51D-30 and F-82 are superior to both, and you could make a case for the P-47N being better as well

i have no friends who play war thunder

In what tanks do you guys play against T-34s?
I honestly doubt half of these bounce stories that I've read have happened. T-34s are shit easy to kill.

I bounce 88 rounds from point blank in my t-34-85 more than you'd imagine

T-34 is one of the tanks I almost never have problems killing, they always seem to rush blindly and expose themselves for easy sideshots or are in knife-fighting range where you can shoot right trough their front.

watch jengar, aether_tartarus, van sinn, and messer smitt on youtube, roughly in that order, or just anyone you find interesting/helpful. See how they fly and try to understand what they do and why they do it. familiarize yourself with the basics of how energy factors into air combat and look at a few maneuvers and why they are used, and learn the basics of positioning and its importance. Don't bother with attempting to memorize every little maneuver and flying only by recalling cookie cutter maneuvers; a surprising amount of people say to do this but in my experience and opinion it's much better to learn the basics behind air combat first then build on top of it, since it helps you react better to dynamically changing situations and lets you improve much more. Most of the best players of this game don't even know all the maneuvers they list on wikipedia and other sites aside from basic shit. The same applies to most of the real life/hardcore sim tactics you can find on the internet, most of them simply don't apply to the meta of war thunder (at least air AB/RB).

And above all, the best thing you can do to get better is to learn from your mistakes. When you die, don't try to go for the "hurr he's an OP x-shitter I had no chance", instead try and think over what mistakes you made to die, and see what you can do to stop it from happening next time. If you struggle with countering (or flying) any plane, look up tutorials on how to do so. It helps immensely to fly different nations instead of restricting yourself to just one and see the strengths and weaknesses of their planes for yourself.

unironically join a war thunder discord, some people will be happy to squad with you and you can also ask for advice from them.

How? Do tey literally shoot at 10 degree angles or something?
I don't even bother angling in T-34-85 because everything seems to get through other than obvious sidescrapes.

Thanks pal

Abrams is either going to come off of the MBT70 or the M60 line. If you REALLY want it, I'd start grinding those ASAP.

Oh jeez oh my! 54 WHOLE minutes with a T1 tank? I'm so happy i got this instead of the free GE right next to it!

>tfw 3 big trophies in a row have had this POS in it

finally a vn with best plane

I have a Ryzen 7 1700/RX570 and run it at 1440p, it's usually at 60fps apart if I set grass quality/visibility to max, then it drops to ~40fps. btw
>worked as described above until one week ago
>now it has insane lag spikes (5fps) that last a couple seconds every 5 minutes or so
>core temp is ok
>GPU temp is ok
>cores are unpacked
wat do?

Is the T95 even worth researching?

Early belts for fiddies on P-38L combining with it sitting at 4.7 makes it not really worth it.
The only fun P-38s are the ones with air spawn

>tfw devs always lower soviet tanks performance in order to lick their american/europoor masters feet
>their NA/EU masters are still unhappy because they can't play for shit

it's all in the secret documents comrade, don't forget that history is written by the winners

Better finish up this delusional yuropoor nonsense soon. The United States Of America wakes up in about one(1) hour.

Yes, yes. Well done Abrams, well done.

HOWEVER!

Historical events must be taken into account, and we at Gaijin have a few last minute tweaks to the damage models to make. For the P40, and its crews brave use of the tank regardless of its rivited armor, the Ariete gets an extra 10mm of lower front glacis. Second, due to the Italians mastery of the M26 Pershing which exceeded all other nations, the ammo racks of the Ariete shall be given an extra 30mm of unlisted armor, fresh from our secret documents. And third, in consideration to the Americans gassing of Italian civilians in Bari harbor and its subsequent cover-up, we award the Ariete a second off of its reload time. And finally, it took a great deal of courage to stand up to the Allies, but it took a great deal more courage to stand with the Germans. In light of the Italian Social Republics unwavering support for its allies, we award the Arietes engine deck with an additional 10mm of armor.

Assuming our calculations are correct, a change of the title "Best Tank in History" is now in order. The Ariete is now the greatest tank ever, and War Thunder will reflect this fact.

Fuck you I chuckled

>GJ usually drops updates in Wednesdays or Thursdays

S-soon?

See you in the morning.

Can anyone explain to me Gaijins thought process behind the Lorraine 40T being at 6.3br?

probably the same as fv4202

*dabs*

how can anyone enjoy spitfires, outmaneuvering shitters who dogfight you isn't satisfying because you're a spitfire and it hardly took effort on your part, and as soon as you see someone competent you're hopeless.

not saying they're not insanely easy to do well in nor that they're OP but they just never seem rewarding
