where's the waffle plane?
Honk honk.SKEET SKEET.
barrel collision NOW
>>544734223autocannons are not overperforming btw
>>544734493That's right.All Bubi baybee.
>>544734636you aint bubi until you're blowing people up 50m from behind
Servers fucking exploding right now
>Vikhr status: caughtwith your asscheeks
How are you fags gonna grind for the UFO?
>>544735845I'm not, I don't care about mediocre propslop. The only events of this format I can see myself grinding is stuff like the Su-37, Su-47, MiG-29OVT, MiG-1.44, F-15 ACTIVE, F-16 VISTA, F-18 HARV and the like.
>>544735845Why would I waste time grinding for a R*ddit vehicle I can't even sell to all the pogjaking r*ddit masses.
>>544735845A-10Cas usualjust kidding I can only grind 2 tasks, I will have to GE the rest as I am going somewhere
>>544735845Probably going to use the PV-2D and P-59 an if that gets to be a pain in the ass for some reason, I'll just put the Po-2M into a lineup for low tier air arcade clubbing since it counts as an event vehicle.at 1.0.
>>544736249trvke
>>544736249
>>544736249Truclear deterrence
>>544735845Mirage f1c, maybe event jag sometimes
>>544735845Air grinds are the most abysmally unfun; I don't think I will participate because I don't want it myself and the coupon upgrade will be existentially boring.
>>544736720dream comes true vehicles dont come with coupons
>>544735845i won't, i don't play a*r
>>544735845Not really sure, I've never done an air event before, I think I might VARK
>>544736778Ah, right.>2024 was KV-7>it's already been a whole yearend me
>>544734493They are underperforming against air targets and overperforming against ground.A couple of updates ago, gaijin broke cannons against planes again and they were doing literally no damage. They upped the fragmentation by 500% as a band aid solution, they didn't really resolved it against air targets since every cannon either 50% sparks or 50% literally implodes the enemy plane, but in ground now every plane autocannon that pens a tank does the fragmentation of a literal 150mm aphe.You can even test this in the damage simulator because there are planes and tanks that sahre the same cannon and projectile, but the results are extremly different
>>544735845I'll stock to spade the FA\18 and the Su-33, then i'll jump on the MiG-21BISON or the Mirage F1C
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z7SRhH0nM8>more cruise missilesI can't wait until we get ground-launched cruise missiles like the ATACMS and the game becomes complete shit.
>>544737052>implying it isn't already
>>544736048where are you going? tell me so i can meet you and we'll talk about war thunder lineups and i will rape you

>>544735845doing whatever wherever according to dailies followed by spading something or doing reliable slummy CAS shit depending on how lazy I feel
>>544735845with whatever handheld t3/4 premiums i havei have a few "event" vehicles but i never learned if they were worth using
Is this thing a seal clubber? It seems like one.
>>544739363it's a turnfighter, i use it in ground rb
>>544738005I only always play full pvp in ARB, what is some comfy groundpounding for lazyness and how do you set it tup?
war thunder is fun but why do youtubers and predditors say otherwise?
>>544739885entitlement, circlejerking and bandwagoningsimple asTEC loves the game tho
>>544739487pick your tree of preference, then pick the absolute lowest BR rank III strike aircraft available, higher if you prefergenerally dive a little to the side to avoid being the obvious first pick of somebody peeling down out of the forming furball for a free kill or fightermoding strike aircraft, watch above you anyways in case of some freak who decided to peel off alone that you might evade for a bit or reverse, probably notproceed to mow lawn as long as you are allowed, self-defend against retards as viable, die without much care, return to airfield for more ammo as needed if a match stallsthat's it, you exist to be shiny bait that may bite back and which is a poison pill for the enemy team to swallow if lots of them simultaneously decide to give up position to dive you, and to tilt the tickets in your team's favor if the match drags. You will unglamorously get lots of points or unglamorously die quickly with little investment in the match and go roll the dice again in another. There's nothing to it.
>>544740229Thanks, what's your vehicle of choice for this kind of gameplay? I have most of air trees finished but i only really played jets for real so i need to literally be spoonfed
Join LowIQ!!!!!
>>544740189war thunder is better than any mainstream game
>>544740189still insane that a namefag got fanart
>>544740189>TEC loves the game thoi wonder why
>>544740705You're in the honeymoon phase, it'll pass.
SMOKE
>>5447408345000 hours alreadyname a better mainstream game
>>544740705this>>544740834i play from 2012, what's that, stockholm syndrome?The reality is that WT is literally one of the best F2P to ever exists. Even it's monetization is good compared to the average. If you play a lot you can get everything you want for free, thereìs literally no other f2p mmorpg that lets you do this.Even paid MMOs that give you these capabilities (like warcraft) are WAY MORE grindy than WT is.These are just facts
>>544740834good bait lol, just hit 2,5k hours and still loving it
>>544740975Nah, buddy, I had my honeymoon phase at 8k hours. It'll pass.
>>544740951i can't my mom is up and i don't want to let her know that i smoke because she's trying to quiti'm 33 btw (but i do have income)
>>544741068bruh 8k hours is not a honeymoon phase is literally going old in marriage and celebrating your golden wedding.Imagine enjoying something for 8k hours and then saying it's bad lol
>>544739885If you play this game for hundreds of thousands of hours you see the massive flaws in the game with a dev team that does not care to fix them as any sort of care that could be put into this game anymore has been cast away due to the devs being greedy slavic subhumans who won't even do the absolute bare minimum as long as profits still come in with their lazy tactics of dumping copypaste tech trees/premiums paired with economy nerfs on tech tree vehicles to get people to shell out for premium time/vehicles. This game is one of the few games that the devs despise the playerbase yet are somehow able to get away with it time and time again with their scummy practices because 99% of the playerbase is third world subhuman retards who'll gladly suck down the steaming piles of shit gaijin plops out for them and ask for seconds praising gaijin even when they make the game worse.
>>544740440I'll throw a few at you. The IL-2 is a tank that can turn, or at least once, and has generous enough ammunition by Soviet standards with cannons that punch above their caliber in terms of what you can pen. Underpowered for its weight, don't fly it too fancy.the Me-410 is a fast intruder bomber-fighter with double remote 13mms in the ass and an assload of frontal 20mm and 8 or 13mm plus a bomb bay for lots of 50kgs or a couple 250-500kgs. You can treetop it to bases and ding them for some extra points if you want to fully wait for the merge to happen.the B7A2 is a dive bomber with 20mms that turns like a zero, dives like a jug and clubs the shit out of the retarded by dint of airspawn. Control accuracy other than elevators degrades somewhat harshly under compression and it can't finely roll-yaw on for shit either way though which hurts it when used for ground attack if you're too tightly looping in your runs. The event version is a slight straight upgrade to engine power at the same BR.there's other slum mowers available in other trees or prems or squadrons but I feel those three are some tech tree standouts
>>544741068>game is so good he has over 8k hours on itwar thunder is fun confirmed
>>544741068failed b8, goo try brother
kill smin
>>544741392>>544741254It can be fun but it is not a good game. You just can't see past the "Target destroyed" dopamine rush.
>>544741259>If you play this game for hundreds of thousands of hours you see the massive flawsother games are even worse
>>544741380Thank you very much i appreciate the time you used to answer my questions.I'll use the IL2 or the B7A2 since i have both the premium so i can pick up some extra SLs
>>544741392>Smoking crack is good for you because you've smoked it multiple times beforeIt's called addiction Anon. Pair it with a bit of Stockholm syndrome, and that's how you end up with way too many hours in this shit game. You play it because you've been sucked into it and you cannot escape it as this game is addictive and what little fun there is to be had with this game is suppressed under tons of garbage that makes this game mostly unfun with the little tiny hits of fun that keep addicts hitting the crackpipe.
>>544741740By this logic, every TPS\FPS ever is a shit game but you cannot see through the "Enemy Killed" dopamine rush, and worse than war thunder, because war thunder has more nuisances and mechanics (like it or not) than every other PVP games on the market
>>544741881>You play it because you've been sucked into it and you cannot escape it as this game is addictive and what little fun there is to be had with this game is suppressed under tons of garbage that makes this game mostly unfunsounds like a you problem
>>544735845I'm gonna sealclub 2.0 arc*de with the J9 Early and make newfags seethe and cry in impotent rage.It's my dream to get some sort of event Ki-43-I so I can sealclub even lower with a plane I already love using.
>>544741881>It's called addiction Anonskill issue
>>544742642is arcade somehow better to grind than realistic?
>>544742642stop posting loli in the war thunder thread plz
>>544741921>war thunder has more nuisances It do!>(like it or not)I don't!A game having more nuances and mechanics doesn't automatically make it a better game.
>>544742760I'd say that the ceiling is higher.Talking about mission score, on average you should do better in RB but if you are good, you do way more in AB
>>544742760arcade is made for people with ADHD
>>544742817Yup. It doesn't make it "automatically good" but it kinda does if that's your poison. If you don't like it that's okay, "de gustibus"
>>544742776I simply posted a visual representation of my inner thoughts regarding the devilish plot to raise the learning curve for new players. What's wrong with that? Do you not think in pictures of little anime girls? Can you not rotate a jelly donut in your mind?>>544742760It's up to personal preference, though realistic gets a bonus to event progress.But with arcade I get to turn my brain off and bully new players. It's also a target rich environment compared to RB where you're competing with your teammates for a limited amount of possible points, so what >>544742826 said also applies.
>>544742913Which is why mechanic complexity isn't relevant to the quality of the game at all.
>>544742776Let's talk about this.>War thunder is an anime gameThis got proven OFFICIALLY by gaijin 2 weeks ago, so this is a fact.>War thunder has the Wiesel in gameThis proves that not only war thunder is an anime game, but an anime game with CUNNY in it, therefore anon's post was TOTALLY on brand.BONUS>4chan is an anime siteTherefore, we are talking about a loli anime game on an anime sitesimple as
war thunder is only not fun for 8000+ hours degenerates that are completely burnt out of the gamelittle timmy who has only experienced modern AAA multiplayer gaming like COD will jump in his brand new Leopard 2 pzbtl 123 and have the most fun he has ever had in his life

>>544743237It absolutely fucking is lmao, there's a reason "friendslop" is a term.
>>544743237It is one of the most important factors ever if you are into it.
>>544743587>I play this game for 12 hours a day>geez I wonder why this game is getting boring

for me, its the FS20 Vortex
>>544744404most premium newtards don't even know where to find those and just hit the battle button, maybe switch modes first if they have friends who already play it or eventually if WT content creators are the reason why they started playing and they realize their game looks different with all the markers and fast as food movement

>>544744663wrong game you pseudoslop lover
The core gameplay and controls are unmatched by anything but the actual gamemodes besides Air Sim EC are turboAIDS dogshit poopoocaca that hasn't changed a iota in over a decade since the closed alpha placeholder modes.
sim hasn't had ec for a decade and ec is the only decent game mode to exist in this game
>>544745046>sim hasn't had ec for a decadeDude what? EC is THE Air Sim mode.
>>544744889The controls are unmatched? The tanks still turn by stoping one of the tracks and can't drive up a 30 degree incline, pick any game that's ever had a tank in it and it will probably have better tank controls.
>>544744889>The core gameplay and controlsThis us true, using aircrafts in other games becomes unplayable
>>544745254>The tanks still turn by stoping one of the tracks and can't drive up a 30 degree inclineYou're conflating physics with controls.
Why dont they add vehicles that are different from original vehicle but require only minor changes? Like jpz 4-5 could mount 105mm or charioteer could be upgraded to 105mm l7. Even an intern could do it in a day
>>544745148newfag
>>544745265that's because the flight instructor is literal one of the best core mechanic gaming inventions
>>544745304The tanks are unable to drive up the slopes and struggle with even the slightest inclines and it makes the controls feel unresponsive and sluggish.
infantry when? please don't cancle this anton
Anton should cancel infantry.

Anton should make the maps bigger

>>544745560Hopefully soon. I've been playing BF6 lately but man, these horrendous vehicle controls and >>>>HP-based damage models and this long-ass TTK on these tiny-ass maps with this spastic movement is just not it.>>544746142He shouldn't scrap modernshit infantry but he SHOULD add WWII infantry too, it'd be dumb not to have it in a game that started out as a WWII game.
You know what this vehicular combat game needs? infantry
I think this vehicular combat game needs a survival crafting mode.
>>544746683quite sure we have had crafting mode once a year
My dream is a massive 1000 player GRB EC gamemode with tanks + infantry + coastal + air all duking it out
Stupid korean nigger let me post pictures

After spading Csaba I've come to the conclusion that it's still not as terrible as the removed French tanks, but it's a strong contender for "Worst vehicle that isn't French"
>>544749782I honestly had fun spading it. Playing shit vehicles not for being competitive, but just for trying to overcome their shittines could be fun if done with moderation
I kind of want the xf5u but at the same time I haven't played in 2 months and have no desire to play.

>>544753556Mark V is unplayable because it too slow
The F-104 is unplayable because it's too slow (in arcade)
