>>566964406Luv me Wizl.Simple as.
I thought the derby was good
>>566966043Early Eurofighter radar is literally the best mechanical radar in the game, it even comes with NCTR. I was appalled that THIS marvel of engineering is what bongs/germs/shitalians were crying about when I unlocked the Eurofighter myself, it's in a whole other league from say mutt radars (which aren't even bad in the first place).
Any news on next update?
>>566966376yeah, its going to be as good as last one
>>566966337I just think LowIQ fags are retarded.
>>566961764I have just used the laser rangefinder on a top tier tank and now I see why people use it, I mostly eyeballed it and hit the shot the majority of the time
why is the t-64a the same br as the t-72a?it's worse than the t-72a and it doesn't get a laser ranger.
>>566968023doesnt it get a faster reload that the 72 doesntt. hasnt booted up the game in half a year
>>566968338doesn't really matter in how i play them. hull is worse. speed is worse. power is worse. it is lower profile which i like. it didn't have the reload before and it was still at 9.3also i want to see more t55 and t72 versions in the game
>>566968634>how i play thembut thats not everyonefor the average hold w trog faster reload goes further when combined with all the maps being tin cans but concur on more T-54s and T-72s, such a shame that that era was so ignored by gaijin for all countries in order to capitalize on the post cold war vehicles money printer
>>566970293t-55 (early production model featuring the v-55 engine and two-plane stabilization, lacks the turret roof ventilation dome found on the t-54)t-55m (modernization featuring volna fire control, "brezhnev's eyebrows" bdd composite armor, and side skirts)t-55am (modernized t-55a with bdd composite armor blocks, improved fire control, and bastion atgm capability)t-62d (variant equipped with the drozd active protection system, providing hard-kill defense against incoming missiles)object 167 (an experimental t-62 evolution featuring a reinforced hull with six road wheels and a 125mm smoothbore gun)object 172m (the "t-72 ural" utilizing a tpd-2-49 coincidence optical rangefinder and a monolithic steel turret lacking composite inserts)t-72 ural-1 (improved version of the ural featuring "sandbar" silica-glass turret inserts for enhanced heat protection while retaining the optical rangefinder)object 432 (the initial t-64 production model armed with the 115mm d-68 smoothbore gun)t-72av (modernization of the t-72a with kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor, the standard soviet variant lacks the western-made thermals found on the syrian export version)object 219 (the original t-80 production model featuring a gas turbine engine but utilizing a modified t-64a turret without atgm capability)
>>566972816>t-55 (early production model featuring the v-55 engine and two-plane stabilization, lacks the turret roof ventilation dome found on the t-54)early T-55's still had the roof ventilator due to the cannon not having a bore evacuator yetthe T-55A saw the removal of the ventilator and the bore evacuator equipped variants of the cannon were fittedthis was mostly done for CBRN, as the ventilator wasn't exactly airtight
Take me back to early cold war kino please, Take me back to the futa gap lord, I want to defend germany from an army of T55As, I want to roll out on my newly produced M1 and see 5 collumns of T72s charging through the open I want to use my M60A3 and defend against a T62 push, I want to Kill T series with my TOW missiles
>>566964601damn that's old
>>566975631you know you can literally get that by playing tank pve rightlike a map on rotation is literally fulda and you fight slav tanks
>>566975809But tank PVE is retarded and not fun
>>566975909well so is what you askdid you put 2 and 2 together yet?
>>566974676the d-10t2s (found in the predecessor t-54b) already featured a bore evacuator (no need for roof vents at this point)add the t-54b (two-plane stab, roof vents, tkn-1c infrared night vision) to the list of tanks missing from the game.
>>566976041>t-54b>most mass produced variant of the t-54>only the chinks get it))))))))
>>566975992Obviously nyot
>>566975909This game really needs new PvE modes. Both Assault modes have been shit from the very start
>>566976165well you're a usa main so being retarded goes without saying
>>566976142i play the soviet union so much that i can understand the range callouts before they get displayed in my sight. can't do that with chink tanks.

>>566976497I don't understand the question.
>>566976882what was the question again?
>>566975992Whenever I crave that I hop on GHPC, my daily dose of PVE Tank kino>>566976207I Honestly think they're just incapable of doing anything PVE at all, I'm going to use Wargaming as an example, on wows there's loads of PVE missions with it's own objectives and shit the last one i Remember playing was the D-Day event pve missions, In WT we literally don't have anything other than the old SP missions that are from pre historic times, or the buggy campaigns you can play. They never invested on this event side of thing, it's all just a shitty achivement on the side of the game that lets you unlock X and Y, instead of being a bigger thing like Wargaming usually does

Its amazing how the majority of the subhumans playing this game cant get 1 kill per match but somehow dies 3 times. Meanwhile here I am with my 2.0-3.0 K/D ratio on every shit tank imaginable. What causes this

>>566966983Caught
>>566979740Still no updated chart.
>>566979740i've had matches were we have no players that vehicles are part of the full uptier, so we just get to face 4 niggers with stronger vehicles for free lmao

I think i just might play somalia.The ikea PS 2026 collection is great.Mutts cant have nice things such as kajplats gu10 575 lm lightbulbs and TIMMERFLOTTE temperature and humidity sensor.
>>566980326Sometimes I want to get a joystick and play simulation for air and do this.
>>566981375It literally started after I had a good game with 6 kills, now it's just random PL spikes and my 100 ping jumping to nearly 400
>>566954647isn't the stock dart on the challengers a literal training munition
>>566981624next time think before you shoot a superior player, gweilo
>>566982069T-55A
>>566981490I don't have a joystick. KB+M with relative control is just fine. Probably even better when it comes to precision shooting.
Today I used entrenchment, got 3 kills and it was the most immersive this game has felt in a while
>>566981490>>566982931Here's an old screenshot of a comment I left about this once, with a no longer relevant line about bots edited out.
I don't know how to notch. There is no in game tutorial on how to notch.
>>566982931>>566983479Won't this be 'twitchy' because the keyboard is either pressed down or not?
>>566983515it's just vibe flying, really
I shout Boyo at the start of every match to psyche myself up.
>>566983701Forgot to add, I might try this since I like sim but playing with the mouse joystick can be a bit frustrating even though I've gotten okay at it
>>566981624>>566981375It happened to me yesterday right when a chink called me a cheater, then i stopped playing
>>566983701That's what the nonlinearity is for. It's a little twitchy, but you get used to it.
>>566984319I'll give it a try
how many forced name changes does it take to get a ban>
>>566984319Excellent!
>>566984083oh damn they moved that shit box down from 9.0? might be werf using now
>>566985296>>566984826Oops, replied to the wrong post.
>>566984083Genuine question they can actually make your ping spike/increase the PL? My connection is stable on every game I play expect when there is a Chinese name in the server, my tank slides out of cover or starts to spin on his own
>>566977017You would think just slapping together a mission full of AI targets that you need to break through would be simple enough. The mechanics are all there and you can very easily include both ground and air and just sorta let people figure it out.Shit you could include boats too if you want to do a smidgen of design work
Did they ever update what people used to make user missions or is it still completely broken

What are the differences between the WZ1001 and ZTZ99?
>>566994264the numbers and letters mostly
>>566994264WZ1001 was a competitor against the ZTZ99, the armor layout is a little different, and it has a longer barrel so it has a bit more pen than the ZTZ99
HI I BOUGHT THE ELSA PACK BCUZ I WANT TO PUT MY DICK IN HER ASS BUT I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE AT HIGH TIER AND IM SCARED TO PLAY
>>566994264they're pretty much the same but the WZ1001 is better than the ZTZ-99AWZ1001 is a bit faster, has a longer gun (and thus achieving higher penetration numbers) and a 14.5mm machine gun that deletes barrels but has noticeably thinner armor compared to the ZTZ-99A
>>566995404It ain't that bad, shoot them on the side or in the front plate, take OP spots on the map, I think the leopard has good reverse speed so that helps a lot tooThings move a lot faster in top tier but just pay attention to where the enemy likes to go, hang back a bit and get a decent number of kills
>>566995404>War Thunder has dickrollingyep it's now confirmed to be a gacha.
>>566993407imagine cum dripping from your stupid whore mouth
>>566997558>Huge tits bimbo>Ass focusI don't know what to play, I want to play with my EBRC but its at an unplayable Bracket now, I guess i'll just resume my Booker/F15E grind
I want to go and play the KV8 event but i need to bust a nut firstto what?
>he can't do bothweak blood
I'm not really gonna get the KV8 because I only play on the maps I like.

>>567003069dawg if you cant tell by looking at the fucking tank icon on the stat card that means you're the problem

>>567003204Yeah my bad I don't know what any random gizmo sticking out of a tank I never cared to look into before is. My bad for wanting to quickly check instead of having to xray random shit.>>567004050>>heres an empty loadout box because you havent unlocked anything yetThis shit bugs me to now end. Very cool that I'm shown my allies either using nothing or *my* last loadout with that plane
>>566988413Giving up and never playing Britain beyond 10.7 ever again, probably.
>>567004367you're unironically too retarded to play this game competitively and are in the lower 99% of the playerbase aka stat fodder
>>567003583Are you the newfriend that bought the kate abrams?
>>567004128At least it's tail and rubber, not plunger and matzos.

>>567004635Sorry I don't care about French tanks I guess
Where are you guys in the stat shark percentage?
>>56700612799%
>>567006127Ten. Ten percent.
>>567006127i will never be purple
>>567006393The top 10% right?
>>567006127The bottom 100%
>>56700612778% GRBThe "better" I supposedly get, the more I believe the people who talk about the snail trying to make the game as frustrating as possible to get you to spend money. Because I think I'm only barely above average as a player.
>>567006437how many matches do you have? That's really impressive, unless you're like at seal clubbing tiers
>shatshart
comparative 83.41% and linear 26.70%, whatever that means
>>567006127
>Thinking anything but individual vehicles matterI too can go club at 1.3
>>567006127WITNESS ME PLEBS
>>567006536
>>567007271Does it still count if I play every BR from 1.3 to 9.3 between Germany, the US, and Italy?
>>5670068979830 games and i almost exclusively play top tier now
>>567007031comparative means you are only worse than 17% of players (on average)linear means someone with a 52% is twice as good as you (on average)
>>567006127not great, not terrible
>>567006127i wanna stress i play a lot of top tier
It's pretty funny to see people posting these sites when Thunderkill and Statshark contradict each other and neither is accurate to stats tracked in-game
I know how to notch. I can't notch.
Whats the point of arcade ground battles. You just get a red bullseye over your ass and can't even hide
>>567007360horrific.
>>567009605Tank gameplay for the blind people(me)
>>567009605At least I know I have a red mark on top of me instead of trying to flanke and unknowingly getting cucked by someone flying around his gay ass toy plane
>>567009605The spotting system has a lot of nuances actually, like the ARB one. Once you understand it you can do stealth plays like a sexual maniac>6000h in GAB, great player
>>567009605>what's the point of cheating if everyone doesyeah, fuck your wall hack / batman senses / whatever malware, i got mine in this mode
>>567002635Tell me you're a liar without telling me you're a liar.
>high ground overlooks all 3 capture points and both spawn points>blues take the high groundfew such cases
as much as i probably shouldn't care since top tier players are scumdo you guys think its better to hit the SPAA (free kills that don't move) or tanks in power positions on maps (team player in top tier, yuck)

>>567011903the former is often necessary to do the latter
>>567011903Always focus on your survival first so AAA, then anything with autocannons/PFuzes then the tanks
F-22, Su-57, or J-20? I need one futureproof air tree
>>567013819all three of them, what are you, poor? lacking motivation?
>>567013819j-20 for me, it looks cooler than the two
>>567012472Yeah with notching, but it's the most hard missle to notch in game still
>>567012808>>567013434my dumb ass forgot to qualify that i'm using the TRAM so barring the 2s6 which i will always prioritize no matter what, i have free reign
>>567006127I don't feel like a particularly good player.
does the US get an equivalent to the SPICE? Trying to figure out a loadout to just do the whole strat but the GBU 39s just tend to miss if they move
>>567013819>JapanYou get 2/3 F-35 variants, likely Malaysian Su-57E, and their partially built F-X prototype is enough to be added to the game. iirc Thailand is looking at the J-35A, but chinks will throw a tantrum again, so that one is unlikely.
Play the M103
>>567015126already finished japan (every plane) though... I need atleast one non-export 5th gen
>>567006127I almost exclusively club people at 6.7 with specific and fun lineups
>>567015878Picrel, Battle mode on Kuban and I killed their top player directly 4 times with zuni rockets. Felt like bullying
>>567015250play something actually good
>>567013819su57 for sure because russian game companyi mean just look at how things currently stand between the su-30sm2 vs f-15c golden toilet vs j-15turd and you can extrapolate from there
If only ammo racking this was just like ammo racking a marder, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooo we can't have that on the steaming pile of dogshit that is actually le good irl

God I do love green thermals if only they even tried to make them real
>Night fighting is locked to 10.0+ for reasonsSo what is even the point of non-thermal NVGs for everything below that
>>567018441barely any, sometimes when the time of day is fucked i switch between them since light doesn't propagate properly and shadows just become super bold blackHonestly just get a bigger resolution monitor its better than the advantage thermals give you in my experience

>>56701783510.3 is the last playable BR for majority of nations.
>>567016669>currently standLet's not forget that US dominated TTARB with the F-14A for the longest time of two years, plus we don't ever forget the handoldium of every F-5 in game, that were exclusive to the US once, and the fact that they CURRENTLY keep "balancing" the lower and mid tier around retarded US mains that keep dogfighting zero(es) with their pland that would fucking shred if they were used as altitude fighter, BnZ and energy fighters. Also you forgot the F-8U to 10.0, the F-104A\C at 9.3, Aim9L vs flareless subsonicsAnd you chimpout about the Su30SM2 that is GOOD, but still worse than the Eurofighter AESA in BVR and than the Rafale in CQBut muh russian bias
>>567011903Obviously tanks. Not only are AA less likely to target missiles not flying directly at them, but your team can roll the enemy easier after the tanks are gone. That is, if you gave a shit about blue enemies.
>>567015250it's ass
>>567017735lol good one
>>567003583now show us the whole thing
