tank game
bad game
why is it so hot bros
>>484124539Don't worry about it.
#th for russian air defence
Why he's so mad at ma boi ARAB2042?
>>484124882ranges from bad (pantsir, Tor, buk) to outright nonfunctional (streak, S-400)
>>484124539we will definitely get this come christmas update. right?
the only good ground mp is Kuban
>>484125190for me, fulda and volvosmolks
>>484125164God I hope so, if we don't get it by the time they add the rest of the yurocanards, I doubt we ever going to get itRight now I'm hoping the jap subtree will actually bring some useful AND unique shit instead of boring copy paste
>>484124539tranny
>>484125190There are no more good ground maps since they ruined sim sized Tunisia. Fulda is okay I guess.
>>484125190for me, white rock fortress
this shit makes no sense to me. pls spoonfeedhow do i set it up if i want only 20 chaff rest flares for example?
>>484127348different flare pods, buddy
which FW190 do I use?
>>484125994>instead of boring copy pastelol. lmao even
>>4841273480/18+30/2 would be 20 chaffOr 18/0+12/20 would be 20 chaffThe different guages are just marking different types on dispenser. One probably fires large calibre countermeasures where the other is small
>>484127667ARB or GRB?
All maps in the game are shit, no exceptions.
>>484128010thanks for your explanation, however i cant get the desired resultit seems like there's a minimum amount of 48 chaff even if i take all flares leaving me with 50 flares and 48 chaff, which is not what i want
How do I into 12.3 Harriers?
>>484128010>>484128454i suppose for this jet i am simply stuck with having so much chaff
what is the best altitude to use the Matra 530D at? is there for example an altitude at which the 530D is faster than contemporary missiles, or is it always slower?
>>484129019it's always slower
low tier sweden is such a cbt until you get aphe dear god
>>484124171tank game
>>484130619It's actually a plane game. The tanks got added after.
>>484130736let's be honest, war thunder only got popular after tanks got added
Vehicular combat game
>>484128538suffer(bomb bases with FFARs on the AV-8B+; rush CMs, missiles, and engine performance as soon as possible on the FA.2)
>>484131272true
>>484131045Won't disagree there. I mostly play tanks, until my asshole relaxes enough for me to try coastal as a non-russian player.
>>484128716Ah yeah, some aircraft have chaff-only dispensers so you can't replace them with flares
>>484131045Majority of the playerbase plays air arcade
>>484131045and people realized just how bad the other 'game' was
>>484131393I like Harriers a lot but it's a shame none of them fit into air rb meta at all.
>>484132739no they don't
>>484130619>rockets don't land anywhere near the ballistic computer's sightbad game
Playing WT is like tossing a dice.>You spawn in and your team is lobotomized>You spawn in and your enemy team is lobotomized>5% chance the two teams are somewhat on equal standings skill wise
>>484132739It can be quite fun in like ranks 1-3, complete shit in top tier though.
>>484134201Yes they are. Just because more players push red To Battle! button does not mean there are more concurrent players. Most of them leave after first 4 minutes and go into the next one, while arcade battles last about 15-18 minutes until all players dont spend all their spawns. You can see how dead some BR brackets are in the certain time periods. Only BR bracket when there is consistently more people in RB over AB is 12-13.0, because the grind becomes so bad arcade reward multipliers become too insufficient, also squads duking it out against each other and preying on random players. Majority doesn't play RB because they like it, thats why we see all the base zombers.
>>484135443I say br 8.3 to 11.0 is pretty fun. Many stupid donater pilots to farm your 10+ kills per battle and this way to make your way through techtrees without much hassle. But it does take skill and require involvement to do so instead of just being in the right time at the right place and a fair bit of luck like most of the RB battle outcomes.
>>484135958>Many stupid donater pilots to farm your 10+ kills per battle>it does take skill?
>>484123976Can’t wait for the Swiss F-18, FFA P-16 and Pilatus PC-21 in the French tree
>>484135259I took that from a replay. in-game CCIP works fine, I routinely nail people from 4km
>>484137493Why?
>>484137493Switzerland goes to Germany as the squadron Hunter shows.
i have rank 4 researched in the us and soviet tree, rank 3 in german treewhich of these trees will be the most futureproof?i see that us is kind of lacking in vehicles, but it has the best air
>>484139141if you're playing ground, play russiaif air, play usaonce you max out one of those nations, switch to minor trees
>>484138592Switzerland is French >>484138696K2 is also in the German tree yet Dutchland is part of France
>>484128538https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9pZ40lbocwthis tard has been using them as floating SAM sites by just VTOLing in the middle of the map and throwing AMRAAMs at people who try to rush him. alright vid, tried the SAM site shit myself after watching, only sometimes works but its very fun when it does.
>Raw Thnuder
>>484139141>>484138828'zellig mentioned
>tracks still eat shells without even getting destroyedvery cool seeing a 75mm do nothing to the side of a panther
>>484139326yeah i forgot to specify its for the ground treei also got the swedish cv90105 but i kind of regret it, i wish i had gotten the leopard or the m1 clickbait
Troonzellig will never be a gem
>>484140390What does that even mean?
banana
BMP-2 continues to be the strongest tank in its BR bracket in the game
Tech tree Toldi whenTech tree Turán 2 whenTech tree Zrínyi 1 whenNimród whenLow tier planes when
Alright maybe the MiG-29 isn't so bad
>>484139386K2 was a captured vessel and is represented/modelled as such in the game, like a handful of ships in the russian tree or the beutepanzers in the ground treefrogs will probably get Jan van Speijk (formerly K3) at some point
>>484141514Has anybody figured out how this works yet?I heard it's every 30k mission score
>raise multipathing zone to 80m above deck>nerf (not remove) splash damage from missiles hitting the deckI just fixed top tier air, no need to thank me.
>try out Re2001>see Ju87 dive on me>know exactly what he's doing, maneuver and reverse>he gets one (1) shot on me with his defensive 8mm mgs>plane instantly gets set on fire and burns to deathyeah everyone knows rifle caliber MGs were by far the best defensive armament out there
>>484137493>>484139386You literally just got 3 nations as a subtree.Fuck off frogfags.
>>484143858two of these dont exist
>>484139604At this point in the game's history that's a (You) problem lmao.
>>484142384this list except swap Sweden and the US
>>484143858>america are gluttons when it took them a whole year to get a plane copy pasted into their tech treelole
>>484144973
>>484145053explain to me in a clear format with no retarded nonsense applied why US are gluttons, I'll wait
>please spoonfeed me in the most retard-friendly way pwetty pwease :(((fucking faggot
ussr is the most gluttonous nation in the game
>>484145270I'll accept your concession that the US tech tree is, in fact, not gluttonous
you already got your award lol why are you still doing it
Does anyone in here actually play naval? What is it like? Is it a hidden gem in a sea of shit?
>>484145681no proof = not gluttonous :^)
>>484145923It's alright if you got the GE.
>>484145923It was a lot better two updates previous. Some amount of strategy and generally fairly long ttk meant there was more skill expression than now outside the most broken ships. However they massively overbuffed shell damage so now it’s mostly a dice roll on who explodes first. Granted there was always a degree of that but now it’s just excessive and sucked a lot of the fun out
>>484145525Yes, that is the joke.
>>484145923still sticking around until we get some of the ships I've been waiting for for yearssadly, Anton keeps hammering in more copestals and refuses to do something about the hilarious levels of compression and what this guy >>484146518 says, its gotten pretty bad recently, they got rid of the rampant botting (or made it less visible) and a patch or two later they effectively killed the mode with the shell rework
I just like them, simple as.
>>484145923It's terrible and always has been. Anyone actually saying otherwise is coping and desperate.
i will show those hohols who's the boss
>>484148567Awesome premium, as long as you don't mind not being able to reverse.
>>484148567SAAR DO NOT REDEEM
>>484145923Coastal can be pretty fun
>>484148567What type of Cyberpunk 2077 ass currency is that
>>484149046Those are jeet rupees
>>484135563more people play ground than air
>>484148567PLEASE DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMSAARS PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL
More people play naval than anything else
>>484150947true, most of the beings that play ground or air couldn't be counted as people
real men play ground/air sim
>>484150947Unironically true with how many bots there are in naval.
>>484151781It's really funny how you can commit perfidy by obscuring lend-lease/captured tanks with decals then just fuck around.
>>484152252Played the swigga T80 once and man what a fucking carnage
Finished Germany, should I play US or RUS or next?Willing to spend ~100 dollars on the sale, probably on the 10/10.3 lineups. How is the KVT/Turms? A10/su25k etc.?
>>484151781After playing sim I really, really wish Gaijin would implement proper gun optics placement into RB, it's so much better it's unreal.
>>48415269110.3 abrams blows cock, TURMS shits all over it at a lower BR.A-10 is too slow to be useable in ARB after they added all the bigger maps, and in ground it just gets assraped by gun SPAA. A-10 damage model has it made out of paper while the frogfoot eats SAMs for breakfeast.
>he doesn't play Naval Sim
>shitps suck massive dick
when is pissrael getting unshackled from being forced onto teams with greatest ally? the tanks are mediocre enough without having to fight 1v3s after all the retarded mutts 1 death leave because they couldn't hop into their casgroid planes.
>>484142672>>484143858It’s called armée suisse, not الجيش السويسري
>>484154190yes as we've established it's not going to the paristan tree
Romanian Abrams and K2 for Italy when?
>>484155302in exactly 13 working days
israel unironically suffers
>>484125190Probably should do this for low/mid/high tier since that changes things but overall I'd say this is how I feel about ground maps.The wiki doesn't have the Atomic Heart map but I'd rank that at the top, love that map.
>>484156402Welcome to the "protection against 30mm apfsds means 30mm of RHA" club
>>484142986I feel like mission score is the most likely thing.I got a crate after playing a couple rounds of naval so it doesn't matter what mode you're playing.Hopefully I can get the 3d decorators before the event ends.
>>484145169>Most vehicles are equipped with SPAA that will set any aircraft on fire in 1 hit and can also kill light vehicles>Access to low speed stabilizers and early stabilizers>Absolutely top tier CAS options for most of the game, insane bomb loadouts on solid airframes>Incredible coastal options>Very competitive naval options and future potential>Only held back by the inept playerbase
>>484145923>CoastalSuper fun, basically just arcade slugfests where you zoom around and shoot people. I really like it.Extreme levels of suffering early on if you pick the wrong tech tree. Very low playercounts so getting matches takes a while and you'll play with bots which give less RP when you kill themCritically important for winning bluewater matches since they can capture points faster than the ships, so you'll always want at least 1 solid coastal ship in your lineup regardless.>BluewaterReally fun and a change of pace from air and ground, but has a very high skill floor. It will take a while to figure out how everything works which scares off people from playing it.If you're even a little bit interested you should at least try it out.
>>484123976>we're likely to see a shitty copy paste subtree every patch or every other patch for a long timepleaseno
>>484156402cant wait for the second prototype with a fully enclosed turret to be added as an event vehicle, premium, or 11.3 with 2 total spikes whenever gaijin remembers israel exists.
