1st for Anglo's are superior.

Otomatic could fire APFSDS right?
Do we have any data on the ammo available for it?

friendly reminder the only bias is cognitive bias

don't forget confirmation bias

russian bias as well

bias bias

5th for Ki-61s being downtiered

>die
>start typing a message to warn my team of something
>spawns me in and I drop all my ordnance because my sentence included a B

loving this meme laddies

There is no Russian bias in War Thunder. How do people still believe this nonsense?

Quit reposting reddit content

>Caern repair bill is 8k
>Premium Caern with ATGMs repair bill is 2k

Hmmm.

stop reposting wtg content onto reddit

>Caern with ATGMs

Stridsvagn is a Centurion Mk. 3 with ATGMs, not a Caernarvon.

you mean soviet bias, ivan

My bad, they all look the same to me.

t. shill or spent few houndreds dollars on this game

...

one and the same

Cent mk 3 is still 6k, Strv is 2k.

The whole SL economy should have been done away with 5 years ago anyway, same with crew stats and vehicle modules.

Only thing you should be grinding for is the next vehicle, and achievements.

is not real.
ukranians made it for divide and conquer tactics, cyka

STEEL BEASTS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE SOURCE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>The whole SL economy should have been done away with 5 years ago anyway
MWO did that but probably only because the games almost dead. That and PGI are even bigger jews than gayjew with their mechpacks.

>MWO
Right in the feels

I have no idea how to play the plane part of this game. The only thing I can do is to capture airstrips by landing on them. If there is a map without airstrips, I'm always at the bottom of the scoreboard. Like, I see the enemy, I follow him, he does some sick 360 maneuver and teleports behind me and then I die because no matter how I try to dodge he will never fall off my tail.
>inb4 don't dogfight and boomzoom instead
Yeah, tried that too, I dive down and miss, then due to high speed I get in front of my would-be victim and he casually shoots me before I climb back again. I just want to unlock a good plane for ground support in tank rb but plane stuff is too damn hard.
I'm also so much of a loser that the thread ended right before I posted this

>arcade
or RB?

Sad thing is those niggers own the IP I think so there arent going to be any decent MechWarriors for a while. Their new MW game looks like a slightly touched up MWO ie hot garbage.

>OTOMATIC
EXCELLENT edition

>it's kursk with is-6 niggers on the enemy team
never have i J out so fast before

Russian bias

MechWarrior Living Legends is pretty fucking good at least

where are my gunpods??

Only thing I can remember are dogshit animations and undeadable tanks. Does anyone even still play it?

In case some of you have missed it:

>T-64B:
>Hull armour changed from 480KE, 480CE to 440KE, 500CE. Looks like gaijin only changed some modifiers.
>They also introduced an angle thing into X-ray, so the turret armour "changed"(?) from 400KE, 450CE to 400-440KE, 450-500 CE.
>RoF changed from 7.5s to 7.1s. No fix on 3BM22.

>Challenger 1:
>L23A1 added, 440mm at 0m, 420mm at 2000m.
>L15A5 replaced L15A3, only on Challenger 1.
>From (0m 403mm, 2000m 379mm) to (0m 410mm, 2000m 380mm).
>Turret armour changed from 400KE, 650CE to 430-480KE, 700-750CE. They changed lots of DMs.

>M1 Abrams:
>Hull and turret armour both changed from 380KE, 650CE to 380KE, 600CE.

>Leopard 2k:
>DM13 penetration changed from (0m 410mm, 2000m 380mm) to (0m 417mm, 2000m 390mm).

This is all whats known to be 'true' after latest dev server update.

>burgers still trying to pretend the Abrams wasn't a pile of hot garbage compared to the T-64B

+1 ge

>implying mutt

cold war is over ivan. you lost.

do you know why Russians say they miss Soviet Union? because it was the only time their shithole country was actually relevant and feared

>Killed by a bush on tracks

is there a more fun plane at 2.0 than the Hurricane Mk llB/trop? the one with 12 7.7s

Pheeeeeeew, the mutt defense force is really out here today it seems.

Does pointing out your tank was historically shit really trigger you this bad?

>the only way for your tanks to actually be good is to make them fight shitty versions of nato tanks in a video game
Russians are just sad people

wrong again ivan. not even my tank because mine is across the pond and its a piece of shit.

They do have one of the highest rates of suicide in the world

As much as I hate the cykas, this is untrue.
The Ruskies were quite relevant in the 19th century.

It hurts to live

>multiplayer
get gassed

yea, super relevant

this is not a maneuver an overtiered BR 3.3 twin engine aircraft should be able to pull
it is very confusing to use
yes the P-47 flew like a retard but that's not the point of the recording

It really does not have a long body to be fair, so it probably has better turning capabilities.

I am probably wrong, but it just made me think.

They updated the christ out of it. It is way better now.

I was thinking more of the Crimean War.
Also, wasn't that war in the 20th century?

the best feature of this game is that western APDS can bounce

yea, my bad. I always think thats 1895 not 1905.

>t. slav

we geting digits today
note that the speed never drops below 500km/h, I could believe it if it went slower

I have literally never seen a legitimate source showing the T-64B hull armor being 380mm vs KE, Is this one of the retard things taken from the CIA/Steel Beasts?

Holy shit, just noticed that. That is beyond retarded.

You are the definition of a shitter

no my uncles friend who was an abrams commander in ww2 told me so

no theyre the shitter for engaging a shitty plane that rushes for their spawn and knowing it has 6 .50s still head oning

the most biased vehicle in this game is t-44-100
prove me wrong pro tip you can't
even fucking APDS struggles with penning the fron plate
and don't get me started on the gun mantlet

>have literally never seen a legitimate source showing the T-64B hull armor being 380mm vs KE

Spoiler: That's because that source doesn't exist

Putin travelled back in time to destroy sekrit dokuments

Russian bias)))))

what is the ammo refill counter i see in some of the dev server test drives?

infinite ammo replenish?

I would rather face the T-44-100 than the KT, as far as shooting with APDS is concerned.

Arcade obviously

Post which Ground Forces BR range is in your opinion the most fun, engaging and diverse in terms of tanks viability.

For me it's 2.7-4.7, where you PzIV, early T34 and Shermans all have pretty much equally paper-thin armor meaning it's always one shot one kill, no matter what tank you pick and what tank your enemy drives.

Honestly 7.7, really love the Cold War vehicles like the T-54. It's my favorite tank and fun to use along with the BMP.

very rarely i enjoy a match in the second coldwar rotation in SB
everything else is jsut a niggertier shitfest i wouldnt touch with a pole again

Basically tier 5 and 6 tanks are getting ready racks. Ammo is moved from the hull into the turret for improved reload times if you give a little time between firing(the same reload we have now basically). If you run out of shells in the turret you fire slower.

but inert rounds will still blow up like they're full of uranium because )))))))))))

3.7 for me, I just take my baby Cromwell and drive around the map wrecking shit.
Also, you can take a plane with RP3s that kill any tank at that BR.

What nation, what br, what plane? Also play RB.
Im not too good but I know how to play russian and US planes

First of all, keep on landing on airstrips, since you're probably the only one willing to do it.

Secondly, tactics really don't matter in arcade. The flight models are all fucked up, and everything devolves into turnfighting, basically. Still, you should know what your plane is meant for. Not all fighters are good at turning on a flat plane, not all are good at boom and zooming.

Try not to get sucked into a big dogfight with 10 planes, as you won't be able to keep an enemy off your tail. Stay high (people typically dive to ground level at the middle of the map in arcade) and dive on stragglers beneath you.

The little arcade aim cursor thing can be a hinderance at times, I've always found that aiming slightly ahead of it is much more accurate than trying to aim directly at it.

Don't engage outside of about 500m unless you're trailing someone that's flying perfectly level. Even then, your effective range will stop at about 800m.

Like you said, boom and zooming and shit doesn't work in arcade because people can just instantly turn around in .235 seconds and shoot you before you're out of range. Either turn with them (if you're in a turnfighting plane), or just continue diving away from them, don't try and climb immediately.

>Bind roof MG to a different key
>Enemy fighters go to strafe you because your turret is facing away from them
>Swing the MG around and blast them

Did you just hit me with that meme in your russian TD on Normandy? Can't remember if you got me or not, I'm just on autopilot until I finish grinding the next vehicle.

Nope, Mozdok.

Did they fix brit hesh yet?

Pretty sure it has to do with Steven Zaloga. People are saying it has the armour (or had) of a T-64BV.

"fixed" months ago

T-62: Good tonk or bad tonk?

>V.G.33C-1 and D.520 share the same BR
>V.G.33C-1 appears to be better in every way
does the D.520 have a SINGLE (1) advantage over the V.G.33C-1 besides being in rank 3

pretty ok. pretty bearable stock as well

>author of one of the ''''webpages'''' that gaijin cites for nerfing NATO into the ground is a war thunder player who solely plays russian with no engineering or military background

hmmmm

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

link nigger kike

Steven Zaloga is highly discredited. He has been off by hundreds of meters of effective thickness in the past and is as credible as World of Tanks essentially.
