I'm done, the Challenger isn't going to be worth it anyway.

Don't forget tier 1 with all the Pz II and 140/1 clubbing.

>Be frog nigger 6.0

that can not be real...

Playing germans at that BR basically is 50% of the time for me, maybe you're just a retard magnet?

>PzII and 140/1 clubbing
I'm guilty of this, BUT IT'S TOO FUN

Don't fucking take out the Chief 3 when you can see the Chief 10 and T-64A in the list. Both Chief 3 and 5 occasionally have their own, separate, cold war event.

there is a small turret seam that is only 36mm of armor. I am afraid to tell you that Abrams will be memed to death by Shilkas.

I figured this out about half an hour ago the hard way. In 9 games I've killed 6 tanks and they've all either been AAA or 906's and BMP's except one T-64 which I caught from behind.

>Gunner and commander both turn yellow

Is this something that can be "fixed" with a bug report or are they going to try and ))))))) and mental gymnastics their way to saying it is correct

I hope every woman in your family get's brutally raped by a pack of niggers.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Russia just make better tank comrade

It is how it is in reality this time man. I wish I was joking man. The only fix would be volumetric shell and hit registration.

How convenient that volumetric shells hasn't been talked about for several months...

>shoot T-44-100 barrel with 120mm AP
>does fucking nothing and simply disappears
sooo fricking EPIC bros

20mm penetration fixed when? there's a bug report on the russian forums too FUCK

link

Even in reality a shilka could penetrate an M1 Abrams right in that spot due to the small round size. The real danger is in knife fights.

How convenient that by now they've removed all but 1 or 2 maps that have objectives more than 500 meters apart...

I remember how in closed beta wehraboo tanks shat all over everything slavnigger. The slave tears were magnificent back then.
Those times will never come back.

forum warthunder ru/index.php?/topic/229810-anm2-anm3-i-ikh-proboi/

I think I recall the T-34's hatch somehow being a weakpoint.

I always wanted to pick which maps I want to play. I wouldve played kursk 24/7 back when it didnt have all those gay trees and the village of course.

>American issues
>getting fixed

>Gaijin adds the Mystere IIC finally

>still no Endentard in sight

>still fighting with German cucks and MiGGers in every game
I hate jets

Historically it would collapse in when shot

They actually just released news that they are introducing the huge sim versions of some maps into high tier rotation.

They keep making them shit with no fucking cover or ability to do anything like with Kursk, old Mozdok or Fulda. Maginot is good, and the old El Alamein was good. Why are they so intent on downsizing maps to the point where everything is as small and utterly shit as Poland?

>French air tree
literally a joke

You mean US Air tree 2.0?)))))))

Was Maginot the really pretty one with a central road through villages and rolling hills?

At least tiny urban maps fuck over ULQ niggers

a-are we finally getting one with the DEFAs?

the 30mm's? Yeah that is coming next patch

Took long enough, whish they could add some production models already

Didn't they downside Poland as well? I remember there being more fun layouts way back.

Maginot is the one that's like super hilly and has that big city on the left side of the map. Pretty fun to fight in and the hills actually give you cover from shit not just make your tank go slower

They put break mode on poland in occasionally which used the large version, but break mode is retarded regardless of the map.

Yeah but it's the fucking pre-production of the Mystere IIC because fuck you we Prototype Thunder now boys. No Mystere IV either tho
They've downsized Poland and made it consistently shitter over the years. I remember when Battle Poland was fun to play, or when Domination wasn't a knife fight in the tiny as fuck village. They've changed Battle Poland like three times in 2018 alone and its still shit, although reading the pre-release patch notes makes me feel they're trying to ""fix"" it in some way.
Still miss the bigger El Alamein, bigger Tunisia and, desu, bigger Mozdok. As shit and open as it was its still better than the shitfest we have now for Mozdok

this makes me want to puke

Is this the American expectation of the performance of the Abrams?

I know, it just seems retarded considering how much praise they give the Mystere.

I am so fucking sick of fighting slav(e)niggers and germans. Why the FUCK did they make germany side with slavs only? Was the "MBT spam" excuse just a way to cover how shit the T-64A is?

ARL-44s keep fucking me

Warthunder officially announced they are adding in bigger versions of the maps for high tier combat

>shoot at a BT-7 at the same time he fires at me
>black his cannon breach
>his shell doesn't disappear
>die to it
hmmmmmmmmmmm ))))))))))))))))))))))))

Even the slavs are calling Gaijin out on their shit. Truly a blessed timeline forum.warthunder.ru/index.php?/topic/233912-reviziya-podkalibernykh-snaryadov/

>being unable to comprehend that he fired before your shell hit on the server

That's good to hear at least. Maybe they'll bring back the big versions of classic maps or something

On an unrelated note, all the ruskies are complaining about NATO tank inaccuracies as well on the RU forums, which probably means Gaijin will do something about it now. So that's good o guess
forum.warthunder.ru/index.php?/forum/1188-ttkh-tekhniki/

guess you weren't in a russian vehicle like him

At that range. Yeah that's pretty accurate, Chally and Leo2 would be fine too.

Redpill me on the whole T-64B controversy

I was going to get the CHallenger but it seems DoA, so the other viable option is the Leo 2K apart from the T-64B. How do I get it from here in the most uncucked way possible?

Anglo tears

>this only happens for russian vehicles
Hmmmmmm

The usual russian bias.

>best armor
>best ammo
>cheapest ammo

People are mad Russia has another great tank. This time they actually have a great reason because the ammo that Gaijin is providing to NATO tanks is entirely inadequate for fighting it. It also has the best APFSDS shells in the game. Basically it is broken and will probably get fixed up but people are really fucking butthurt.

>stock round will more or less deal with every other new MBT just fine
>top round will cost ~500SL and just cut through anything
>ok mobility
>good ammo variety
>UFP literally can't be penned
meanwhile, on NATO MBTs
>armour doesn't mean shit (see above)
>chally gets chief mk.10 rounds
>top rounds are expensive a sfuck (1600SL)

So, the usual ))))))))))))))))))?

Leopard -> Jpz 4-5 -> RkJpz 2 -> buy the Tiger 105 -> Maus/Jagdtiger both are shit
Also research SPAA nigger

t. Boris

Also the NATO tanks got completely shafted with ahistorical modelling in everything from armor to pen.

American and british ammo are missing 40-80mm at 2k range, and far more at close quarters.

now that's a name I didn't hear in a long time. also, checked

Grab Leo 1 then Jp 4-5, RaJaPa 2 last one up to you.
Once you hit era VI is where the dilemma hits. You either Grind the KPz and and spade it to grind the Leo A1A1. Or you man up, and go straight to the A1A1 into 2K.

idea: develop actual modern maps, LIKE FULDA YOU FUCKING RETARDS, instead of rehashing and expanding shitty maps for top-tier

yeah I know, I think I'll go for the A1A1 since it's getting APFSDS
I still want my chally tho ;-;

don't want to use backup??
crewlock cyka ))))
didnt have enough sp to even spawn in a reserve

Spawning a tank with a fundamental design problem is on you, not the map.

I was saying what to unlock not what to actually use, since you need 5 vehicles to get Tier 6. For anyone who isn't a whale, just get a fuck tonne of WB backups and put them on the Leo, then run that with a Coelian or Kugel and a whole bunch of jet CAS for minimum suffering

So I should focus on getting a leo and using it to unlock everything else? that's it?

If you rely on a Leo to grind out tier 6 Germany you will probably fucking kill yourself before you get your first tier 6 tank. I used a talismanned Racketen and it was pretty easy and fun.

Panthers are actually good
Why did you lie to me /wtg/?

until today
>waaaah why is every map in top tier either Fulda or Maginot
or
>waaaah why are maps being cut down

>reintroduce older maps with original size to add some variety
>REEE FUCKING RETARDS STOP REHASHING

so how are the repair costs and rp grind on the new T6 tonks? I remember the T-64A having sky high costs, I got broke in a few games.

The only Panther worth using is the warcrime.

I wish I wouldn't have to be forced to play on scoutzknivez with my M103
>making shit maps for top-tiers just expanded old ones
>variety
>actually defending this
>he thinks karelia in top tiers is somehow variety
>fulda and maginot are now more rare to get in top tier
neck yourself nigger

Don't forget the braindead cod fuckers that don't want to drive more than 10 seconds to get into a fight.
They are not nearly as expensive as they used to be. If you are a semi-decent player you can make money playing Tier 6 at a good rate.

alright, I'll do that, thanks user

The leo 1 is doing fine at 7.7 and the A1A1 will probably be better with APFSDS

>Top tier SPAA will have RADAR systems that give lead indicators
>Most of the AAA systems are from the seventies onward
>Highest tier planes are from the mid fifties

This shit has gotten outta hand.

>ricochet off panther II UFP
>lol wtf is overmatch

nice, I'll check out the game after 1.77 hits on the live server, Tier 6 might be actually playable now

what the fuck is the ki-27's cockpit

Just take 5 minutes and be as aggressive as possible. Spain makes no exception, if you get out there fast and kill 1-2 guys before coming back home its a great success anyways. For climbing it depends on the map, generally stay no sparper than 10 degrees and build the speed. Migs are gonna be higher than you anyways

>War Thunder
>Overmatch

I have had 105mm shells bounce off the sides of Locusts.

Overmatch in Warthunder only reduces chance to bounce; it does not remove it entirely.
