which is why they went from PZ IV to the fucking Tiger and panther
shut walrus
The war was more about production rather than "wonder weapons"
pearl siren
they saw what happened in the last war lmao italy did it to em 2 times
merry ivy
they saw nuclear science as Jewish science, and expelled or killed their chances of ever producing even a prototype nuclear weapon
solid hinge
Bigger tanks in defensive positions were a positive for them
because it was the least bad option
because germany was fucked from day one
pearl siren
and the american army crushed them in a year
shut walrus
Although the nuclear bomb is something that could at least have bought Germany some time if they made one, but there's too many chinks in their armor that the war would have ended with them losing
merry ivy
They made big tanks because they couldn’t beat the Soviets in a production war
so they went for quality
and that failed too
pearl siren
wasnt tiger 2's engine super shitty
solid hinge
you park a panther platoon in an area they will hold it
provided they dont have to move
merry ivy
It was the transmission that broke
solid hinge
yep
shut walrus
Too much innovation, not enough standardisation
merry ivy
the Panther was a fast tank... if the final drive wasn’t broken
reduced from 50km/h to 0
pearl siren
in war thunder the tiger and tiger 2 are matched against cold war vehicles and they can hold their own
solid hinge
story goes that no 3 german PZ IVs or Tigers are alike
merry ivy
or if the Panther had enough gas in the tank
solid hinge
lets say this
Tiger 131 rolled off the production line in 1941 right?
say that another tiger rolled off the same line 2 years later

i like how there were so few tigers that each has a unique number under 1000

thats why russian tanks were op in world war 2
solid hinge
so the infantry could keep up
pearl siren
early world war 2
merry ivy
they refused to have both armour, good gun and speed on the SAME TANK
no way, that’s heresy
merry ivy
so make ones encased in armour that are slower than America showing up to a world war, and make others with paper mache and... a decent gun
probably
it was a doctrine, it’s not good for WW2
solid hinge
#general if you wanna talk about russian bias game
German doctrine during the years of success was basically inf support
PZ I and II
i highly recomend the chieftans series on it
merry ivy
yes however they didn’t limit their designs to purely fit certain doctrine roles

because the doctrine changed

the German army of 1940 was vastly differant to the german army that invaded poland

there is a story of a british officer trying to shake his french counterpart into action

I guess Hans put a stale baguette from France into the barrel of an 88 and saw it put a hole in a T-34

soft storm
If you guys ever play Devestation on rush, here’s a tip: grab your favorite MMG and go the farthest to the right as you can once you spawn as the British.
You should make you way into an overlook that has sightlines on the your sides right flank as well as the main entrance into the mcoms.
Hold that with an MMG and you can take out a third of the enemies tickets every round if you’re lucky.

coarse thunder
I'm torn on whether choosing S-Mines or HEAT rounds for the Tiger
coarse thunder
From what I've seen, HEAT is crazy good against all armor (70+ damage against a Staghound, 40+ against Valentine, 30+ on a Churchill)
@quiet acorn I could see that with Kursk
But that was also a massive engagement of aircraft
mild forum
Is there a chance of bf1 getting more dlcs?
pulsar valve
no
quiet acorn
No lol
hollow canyon
What does more damage to other vehicles? AP rounds or HESH rounds?
They both say they do more damage than standard HE
solid hinge
@coarse thunder the heat rounds on tiger do more damage than any other tank shell in the game
hollow canyon
Really, nice
solid hinge
@hollow canyon on which tank?
hollow canyon
Any of them, I'm specifcally thinking of the Churchill gun carrier I think
solid hinge
I have the stats lemme check
hollow canyon
Oh awesome
solid hinge
Hesh on gun carrier kinda sucks
The velocity of the AP shell is 800, while the velocity of the HESH is 460
So the AP round is almost twice as fast
They do effectively the same damage, but the HESH has slight explosive damage compared to the AP which is essentially all impact
amber notch
solid hinge
The explosive damage on the HESH is so bad you can't kill anything with it though
It's basically pointless
I think it's there in case you choose the other spec tree
As an option for a more powerful round than default
But it's inferior to AP
I like numbers
glad quail
Yo guys do ppl still play bf4 pc? And if so how many bf4stats isn't working thinking about buying it I have it on PS3 but yknow it's PS3
wind pendant
I am so disappointed in tiger heat-t round
i got it assuming it would be awesome and wrecking houses and cleaning infantry
well, its okay vs houses (no guarantee that it will blow a wall) and not better than default vs infantry
glad quail
?
solid hinge
It says it's better than the default at explosive but it's not
It's basically a glorified HESH round
The explosive range and damage is reduced
but it does a shitload of impact
It's pretty much an anti tank round
glad quail
Yo guys do ppl still play bf4 pc? And if so how many bf4stats isn't working thinking about buying it I have it on PS3 but yknow it's PS3
solid hinge
so AP or HESH
that's the real question
I can't find good uses for either lol
Depends on the Tank!
Usually they both do more damage than default, but hesh is slower and has janky impact damage
bronze grotto
how much is the difference between heat and apcr for tiger anyway
damage difference*
also worse trajectory that probably causes me to get crappy glancing blows at long range
icy sluice
Massive
Heat-T can take down a Valentine in like 2 hits
I haven't realized how rare it is for me to get 'salty' in games.
fathom umbra
BF1 has perfectly repairable tanks
civic sun
why did they even add the mortar truck?
there is only one way to counter it
bomber
and even then, when you do kill it 30 seconds later there will be another guy camping at the back of the map spamming mortars on the enemy team all game.
civic sun
I loved the charc2
they should have added a horse behemoth
Heavily armed war horses
but there would be 10 of them
solid hinge
@bronze grotto tiger apcr has 620 velocity while the heat-t has 400, the apcr does 300 impact and 34 blast damage while the heat does 325 impact and 85 blast
civic sun
Question
solid hinge
The heat also a small splash radius
civic sun
about those stats
solid hinge
I dunno how the damage corresponds directly to tanks
solid hinge
I think it's accurate for comparing to each other though
civic sun
You always want to hit the tanks on the side
that is where they are the weakest
maybe aim for the turret once or twice
solid hinge
Isn't the back the weakest?
civic sun
I dont know
even if it is
the odds of you hitting the back of the tank are pretty limited
the sides thou
I pound on them with apcr rounds all day
primal sage
Sexual.
primal sage
Same.
civic sun
I like how you need to aim like 40 meters above a guys head just to him him
him*
it makes you aim more carefully
and now that piats are basically nerfed against heavy tanks
I can finally not get soloed by one assault
solid hinge
I'm pretty sure back is weakest on everything bar light tanks
civic sun
It would make sense
solid hinge
Side is a nice easy target though
civic sun
But as I said before the odds of you hitting the back are extremely limited
the side is the best target
and turret
tbh Ive started to hit the turret firdt
first*
then hit the sides
because a tank with a disabled turret is pretty much always dead
solid hinge
Hitting the side is pretty limited too!
civic sun
You can always out maneuver him
solid hinge
Depends the engagement starts
civic sun
well yes but, there is 1 back and 2 sides
not to mention on most tanks
the sides are the longest part of the tank
solid hinge
There's only one front but it's usually pointed towards you
civic sun
yeah
which is why you always have to be moving
to try to flank the tank
medium size tanks are best at this
solid hinge
If you move too much in an engagement you can end up showing your own sides to them
civic sun
yeah thats true
solid hinge
It is advantageous to faster tanks to get better positioning though
civic sun
it depends who gets the first shot off
solid hinge
Heavy tanks can usually just rotate on the spot and out-dps whoever they're shooting
unless it's another heavy
primal sage
Light tanks can run circles around heavier tanks though. Using your mobility to shoot on the run is your best bet because otherwise you’ll be crushed faster than you can say “Fuck”.
civic sun
unless the guy isn't looking at you
this is what I do when Im playing a panzer and I see a churchill
I hit the churchill's turret
primal sage
Or you’re a reload speed upgraded 6 pounder valentine.
civic sun
and then keep moving
primal sage
That thing can outshoot anything.
civic sun
so he can never hit me
solid hinge
If you get close you can definitely run circles
civic sun
I dont like the valentine
solid hinge
But if they're a heavy tank they're probably hill camping
primal sage
It’s not my favorite but it works.
civic sun
the churchill needs a buff on it's turret speed
way to slow
and I love the churchill too
primal sage
It’s because it doesn’t have “Improved Traverse speed”.
primal sage
As an available specialization I should say.
civic sun
I know it is ww2
midnight nimbus
nothing should have a turn rate limit 🤔
civic sun
tank turrets should be very slow
solid hinge
it would be weird if tank turrets could turn instantly!
midnight nimbus
turn rate limits are a good mechanic for tank v tank games
civic sun
way to OP
midnight nimbus
where positioning against other tanks matters
terrible in a first person combined arms game
civic sun
I mean instant turns maybe in modern games wouldn't be too bad.
solid hinge
good luck flanking a tank if it has a 3rd person camera and can swivel instantly
civic sun
true
midnight nimbus
worked fine in BF3/4
primal sage
You know, I really want to see the insides of the tanks. Almost all tanks have the same damn issue for me. I’m always wondering how you can cram 4 dudes into such a tiny package. How the fuck do you fit 4 guys in a Pamzer 38t? It just doesn’t seem possible.
solid hinge
Very cramped

I said ALMOST all.
primal sage
Yeah so did the A7V and that STILL confuses the fuck out of me.
civic sun
Lol
solid hinge
no
civic sun
fuck off

civic sun
You are kidding right?
primal sage
Then again, most WWI tanks had the same concept of being APCs as well.
civic sun
please tell me you are kidding
no shit
I play on ps4 so
No
Naw but for real thou
solid hinge
have you considered advertising it in the official discord is gonna get you immediately banned
civic sun
you are joking
solid hinge
hell no
primal sage
The idea of most WWI tanks was to carry troops across No Man’s land initially. It wasn’t until later they decided cramming as many dudes as they could into a single tin can wasn’t a great idea.
solid hinge
definitely not something someone smart enough to have hacks would do
primal sage
Back to battlefield discussion...
civic sun
wait
primal sage
The Char2C was an absolutely ENORMOUS tank. About as big as a small house.
civic sun
so he wasn't joking?
primal sage
Who fucking cares dude?
civic sun
Char2C had one big problem
compact oxide
Fudge
civic sun
it got stuck in the mud
primal sage
Several big problems.
civic sun
way to often
it was so big
it would sink in the mud
that was a big problem with french tanks at the time
primal sage
It was also “obsolete” by the time it got out into real combat.
midnight nimbus
BFV tank play could be pretty good just by moving towards BF4's model
primal sage
It was an odd thing, it could have stood up to WWII tanks but was just too odd and old of a design.
civic sun
I mean
midnight nimbus
honestly buffing launchers against tanks would be a very fair tradeoff for removing the turn speed limits
civic sun
that armor was thiccc
primal sage
Old as in it did not have WWII combat in mind.
With its improved anti tank measures.
civic sun
Im pretty sure it wouldn't have been penetrated easily
Im glad bf1 did it some justice
and made it stupidly good
primal sage
It was a behemoth for the losing team. What did you expect?
civic sun
yeah
midnight nimbus
BF1 would've been 👌 if the landship were a one man vehicle
primal sage
Also the St. Chammond had other issues other than mud sinking you know. Like how the first few iterations had short treads.
midnight nimbus
reduce cannon damage, let the driver handle both cannons
civic sun
A big question for the germans thou, is why did they fill up a balloon full of flammable gas and put it into war.
primal sage
Because most shit at the time couldn’t just punch through the armor on the hull.
When it first went into the war.
I mean.
civic sun
what about AA at the time
versed notch
Ack Ack
civic sun
All you needed was a match lol
primal sage
Armor. Plated. Hulls.
civic sun
fair enough
primal sage
Did you forget about that part?
midnight nimbus
i wish the smaller BF1 airships were on other maps
civic sun
that they just used it for intimidation
midnight nimbus
or really all maps
too bad the Burton just makes it a meme
you could rip it up so fast by yourself as a Burton user
primal sage
Also remember, the Pom-Pom AA Gun was originally made as an anti-infantry Gun.
primal sage
It wasn’t until later people figured out it was good against planes.
Yes it was originally designed as a machine gun.
Just firing those big ass flaming rounds.
civic sun
37mm
primal sage
Yeah.
civic sun
seems a bit too much for infantry
primal sage
No shit. That’s why the anti infantry idea never caught on.
civic sun
I wonder what behemoths would be in bf5
primal sage
You know what I just realized? 37 mm? Isn’t that about the same caliber as the flak guns of WWII would be?
short pelican
Reall Pom-Pom?
civic sun
yeah just about
short pelican
Didn't it was against small boats?
civic sun
no
civic sun
88 mm is basically a tank shell
primal sage
Why the fuck is the Pom Pom a stand up turret but all the AAA in WWII had attached seats?
short pelican
depends
primal sage
Also 88 mm could fulfill multiple roles.
The 88 gun could be artillery, or an anti-tank cannon, or a flak shell launcher.
civic sun
Oh yeah guys people fail to mention how good french tanks were in ww2
short pelican
Because Pom Pom are ship's anti-boat cannon
civic sun
this one tank managed to take 140 hits
and take out like 12 panzers
granted it was before the tiger
but still
solid hinge
i can do that if i have a support repairing me
primal sage
@short pelican I meant the creator of the Pom Pom made it with anti infantry in mind.
civic sun
very impressive
solid hinge
short pelican
civic sun
overkill
if you ask me
but then again
gas and flametroopers were present so
was gas used in ww2?
civic sun
I know the Germans used it looks directly at the camera
short pelican
Because. if I remember it right, British have so much gas left, so they can just gas bombing whole Germany
primal sage
That wasn’t COMBAT and you bloody well know it.
civic sun
ye
the strumtiger always impressed me
I wondered what would have happened if the germans used it in the beginnings of the war.
At the time that they used it they were already on the defensive
short pelican
no blitzkrieg?
primal sage
You ever notice that the Sturm Tiger has IT’S OWN FUCKING PERSONAL CRANE ATTACHED TO IT?
primal sage
Thats for lifting it’s fucking humongous ass shells.
primal sage
Not to mention fucking rocket fuel.
civic sun
The strumtiger is an offensive vehicle
the germans should have used it like that
but they didn't so
r.i.p
not to mention they barely had any oil
because countries couldn't trade with them
short pelican
and most of it was used for subs
civic sun
due to the naval blockades
primal sage
Wasn’t there a fuckload of just straight up abandoned Sturmtigers?
civic sun
yeh i think so
short pelican
fuel not that a big deal - germans used synthetic fuel from coal
civic sun
Fuel was a big deal for the germans
short pelican
but not ships/subs and fighter planes
short pelican
well, you can try
primal sage
One thing I always sorta like the “aesthetic” of....German tanks stuck in place and just covered in sandbags, camo netting, and barbed wire as they were turned into impromptu field guns.
short pelican
USSR used (at least tryed) diesel engines for planes
primal sage
Idk why. Something about it I just always liked.
civic sun
I really wish the US and the allies would have invaded the Ussr after the war
the ussr could not withstand an allied invasion
not with the 20+ million lost during ww2
short pelican
Are you sure about that?
coarse thunder
That move would never be supported by the Western Allied public
civic sun
yep
short pelican
Because withstand land army which pretty much 1v1 germans for 4 years...
civic sun
it would never happen
short pelican
yeah
civic sun
i wish it did thou
coarse thunder
Hell, I believe the soldiers in the Western armies would mutiny
civic sun
the russians were big allies at the time
they were the heavy lifters of ww2
sacrificed the most
coarse thunder
And China
primal sage
Germany: “Hey Japan, could you do us a favor and attack Russia from the west so we could get some pressure off us?”
coarse thunder
China and the USSR had practically equal casualties during the war
civic sun
Japan would not stand a chance against russia
short pelican
Japan tried and failed
coarse thunder

Oh nice

It seems like it's mostly luck unless you have a clan or something you play with
Most matches with open spots in servers are normally ones where you'll be on the team that's losing hard
solid hinge
its very random
besides which the stat itself is therefor a nothing burger, it leads nowhere I can see thats of consequence
hexed wind
rush feels weird
shrewd grove
Yeah it especially doesn't mean anything when you always just join pubs it seems
hexed wind
should i only be using cqc stuff
wind pendant
rush is stomp or be stomped
shrewd grove
I've had some good close Rush games
wind pendant
i have had one close rush game and that was because my random squad started talking in voice
and hunkered down when we lost 2 sectors
russian squad 10/10
solid hinge
and I'll add again, if you take any other tank than a heavy in rush, you are doing it wrong .. the whole point of a light tank is speed, take away the place to use that speed and your time in combat will be seconds
hexed wind
id rather be playing conq but to progess my tow thing i have to play it

Does a Valentine Archer count as a heavy?

worse yet, some random person takes an AA tank

nice thing about the archer is the gun has a good amount of traverse without moving the hull, and the armour is okish

Sad!

and ammo count is large

how do you mean?

glitch that gives you infinite ammo when reloading

oh that
dunno if its worth losing 25% main round capacity for unlimited ammo that's only useful in very few ways
hesh rounds being the exception

On the smaller ones you have more impact, whether you're crap or great

Damn lol
Stug XP never counted which is an oof
So I’m behind by a lot I’m guessing
Anyone know the fastest way to boost TOW xP?
rustic basin
Tbh either Assault and go full on rush, Medic an just print xp with medic packs and revives ... or you go scout combat and use a iron sights but throw up flares and decoys. since rush is small you get SOOOOO many points 😄
i did 250 spots in a single game with decoys
solid hinge
Do you spot enemies with decoys?
rustic basin
yes if they shoot them
they fire a flare into the air
spots every one in the area for you
dont use them in buildings as they are useless tbh the flare just hits the roof and spots nothing lol
but in RUsh every one is packed into a small area so one flare normally gets them all 😃 same with Grand operations
rustic basin
its the highest Score per minuet i have ever had
pale totem
anyone still on bf1 pc?

armor piercing rounds on the churchill are a joke though. 15 damage to a tiger.... as opposed to 13 damage from a regular shell. wut.
gray glade
doesnt hesh rounds have a bit of a "bullet drop" effect?
meaning you kind of have to lob them a bit
solid hinge
Tanks are poopoo
solid hinge
@gray glade yes but it’s not such a big difference to the normal rounds
gray glade
on panzerstorm there can be a big difference between normal HE rounds and AP rounds tho
because with AP rounds you dont need to aim above the target at all really
regardless of distance
solid hinge
Yeah you’re right, gonna try it out later again
gray glade
i need to try out hesh rounds more as well, especially on smaller maps
cuz you dont need AP rounds as much on rotterdam for example
solid hinge
True
hoary condor
finally got the mosquito but no it's work time and i play until tonight 
marble phoenix
solid hinge
yeah, but they are easier to use than the AP rounds where you need to hit the sweet spot for the best results .. best analogy is its a bit like a shotgun slug round, devastating at short range
Is it just me or do tank round feel extremely weak against other tanks? When I use the Tiger 1, I need to shoot like 8 times before I destroy an Churchill tank.
short pelican
I think it depends where you shot and with what
short pelican
but then he survives 2 rockets, 2 TNTs and AT nade
solid hinge
It really be like that
short pelican
turn and kill you, because for some reason AA must not suffer from assaults
solid hinge
What does more damage to tanks? Panzerfaust or PIAT? I feel like there’s almost no difference in damage, so I use the panzerfaust
again, same issue, depends on where you hit
solid hinge
if you shoot at the front armour at an angle you probably wont do much damage
no matter what you shoot
hoary condor
Piat works well, i think better than the Panzerfaust
solid hinge
Funny how an explosive that isn’t designed to destroy tanks is better at destroying tanks than rockets that are designed to destroy tanks.
piat is good, can 2 shot a stug
short pelican
and with some math and luck - shell them from cover

Dear Gaming Developers,
As we are all lifelong gamers with respect and love for one another I will dispense with the fluff and get right to the point. Games are a crucial component for the development of humanity.
In times past conflicts were settled via to-the-death combat. Attempts were made to circumvent this by creating games and tournaments (such as in the medieval times). Instead of engaging in warfare people engaged in competition.
Today we have computer games. Computer games are unique in human history as they provide a simulation of environments and conditions which would not otherwise be desirable or survivable.
Please consider the implications for world peace going forward as computer games develop, especially for tactical multiplayer combat games such as the Battlefield and Counter-Strike series of games. Please consider the benefits for education in games such as the Civilization series as well as in the nuanced areas of other games that do not have a direct correlation to what might be considered educational material.
There are many people who live lives in which they are restricted or unable to socialize as they might otherwise like to. Games of the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing genre have incredible value for a lot of people in this regard.
Please do not ever feel that your work does not matter in the grand scheme of it all. It most certainly does. Please consider what ideas you wish to express through your games as they do have an impact (positively or negatively) on the human condition in a variety of ways. We as people are inspired by stories told via word of mouth, via the written word, via radio, via television, via motion pictures, and via computer games. If we as gamers want games to have a solid place in the Humanities, they we need to take them a bit more seriously ourselves.
Sincerely Yours,
Scott Daneau
