Did they buff Stuarts recently? I started playing WT again and now stuarts seem to kill me every round - I can never seem to penetrate them, and their guns fire rapidly and are able to kill easily.
WTF happened

Russian bias is a conspiracy theory! Why do people believe it? Is it because we:

>cite sources that were made literally a month before we dropped an update?
>got caught having values in-game that make APDS blatantly underperform against russian sloped armor and swept it under the rug when players chimped out?

>are going to change the armor on the IS-6 to 120mm thick on the side plates, but only decreasing the UFP by 10mm - effectively making it not a nerf at all, but perhaps a buff against people who flank it?
>let the ZSU-57-2 become a better tank destroyer than SPAAG?
No, it's because the players are racist!

if i wanted an arcade tank game with healthbars and bad graphics id just play world of tanks blitz

>waaah I actually need skill to aim my guns now waaah

t. Veteran NS-37 sniper

wot blitz is unironically a better game than wt

>>use the maximum possible values for armor for russian vehicles, while giving non-russian vehicles the least possible values for armor?

Retarded, only burgers had an issue with this because they were expecting to have M1A1 armour instead of the shitty armour of the original M1

>>cite sources that were made literally a month before we dropped an update?

what

>>got caught having values in-game that make APDS blatantly underperform against russian sloped armor and swept it under the rug when players chimped out?

A lot of tanks use 60 degree sloped armour, also its getting fixed

>>got caught giving the IS-6 extra armor behind the mantlet armor, then going "oops didn't mean to!" and made a hotfix immediately after?

idk, fuck that tank

>>nerfed HESH because it was too effective against russian tanks, namely the IS-6?

deserved nerf, although heavy handed. HESH could delete any russian tank at any range without needing to aim

>>gave the T-64B a stock APFSDS that pens the M1 Abrams and Challenger I on all sides and angles, costing only 400 silver lions?

It was like that IRL :^)

>>gave the Challenger I APDS and M1 Abrams APFSDS stock which cannot even penetrate the front of the T-64B, and made it cost much more than the T-64B's stock APFSDS?

Tugsten is cheaper than DU :^)

>gave the M1 Abrams and Challenger I completely wrong armor values?

Irrelevant, now fixed

>put the Object 906 at 7.0, not 8.0, and are not giving hull break in 1.77?

It shouldn't have hull break, like the sheridan which shouldn't either.

>released the Yak-23 and put it at 7.3 where it is completely overperforming compared to other planes at its BR?
>released the F3D-1, without it's radar, and told US players to "just turn" when it cannot compete at 8.0 with a max speed of 768 km/h?

don't forget how they won't release ships CBT because of the russians and germans not having a lot of ships or something

sorry, your shill post doesn't deserve any serious reply

I thought they reverted the thinner IS-6 front plate in the latest dev, but kept the thicker sides? Just a straight buff

That was their reasoning of not adding ships larger than a destroyer.

It's okay, in the end you're the one getting (deservedly) shat on

Why the fuck is the M4A2 at 4.3 this is fucking retarded, you face nothing but KVs

Russia had like 10 actual ships during the war. Germany and Italy were roughly the same size. UK was 1.5 times the size of the IJN. And the USN had 6000+ ships in 1945.
Its literally because Russia would be more paper than Japanese or Italian tanks could ever be.

They also had really shitty armoured cars and few too, that's why they handle like shit in-game.

brb gonna updoot your post and comment saying it would be perfectly balanced at that BR!

>Russia has no navy
>USN planes perform oddly bad
>Russia had shitty armored cars
>very few armored cars ingame and the ones that are ingame are shit
>hardly anyone aside from Russia used APHE
>APHE is stupidly good
We really need to stop with these conspiracies! Just because Russia does better than everyone else doesn't mean they are better than everyone else.

Show me literally one source (besides warthunder) that show any variant of the abrams having a 50mm turret ring

one

single

source

>Germany and Italy were roughly the same size
How could anyone be this wrong? The Regia Marina had literally 3x as many ships as the Kriegsmarine at the beginning of the war

I was talking about at their height. Otherwise the UK wouldn't be 1.5 times the size of the IJN.

>Puma
>Shit
CHOOSE ONE AND ONLY ONE AND THINK IT DEEPLY

I'm pretty sure nobody in history has ever bothered to include that metric in any report or plans of it.

Designers don't give a fuck because IRL you won't have some memer try to shoot pixel-wide spots in a modern MBT from a BT-7

Okay. The puma is shit.

is there a more russian-sided map than fucking hurtgen forest?

wtf I love the SU-85M now

Attached: SU85M-031018-1.png (1933x1031, 1.42M)

The Puma is fun and cool, it's just too bad that the narrow wheelbase makes its handling so wobbly

We have photos of the interlocking turret rings of the abrams as well as the armor that surrounds them, it's greater than 2 inches

The Kriegsmarine was at its height at the beginning of the war. There is no comparison between the strength of the Regia Marina and the Kriegsmarine

done my friend ;)

Jesus Christ the forums have devolved into even more of a cesspool. People keep using Zaloga, CIA documents, and I kid you not, a random reddit user, for their sources on why the T-64B should be nerfed and Abrams/Challenger should be buffed. I want to see these tanks buffed too but at least get a legitimate fucking source for fucks sake.

Do you know the exact number?

I'm talking about fleet sizes not how long it would take for the RN to destroy the Kriegsmarine.

>CIA documents

These are my favourite kind of retards.

We have the literal specifications of the armour from the russian sources and these morons source some inteligence report of when the tanks was new and had never even been seen in public

No, but that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

And the assertion is that the turret ring of an abrams is 50mm thick

>they're going to give the M551 hull break for no reason at all
