The Thunder of War

[west yoke]

Well, i mainly do ground so, here i am

[cosmic dragon]

I also do ground

I'm a German main

[west yoke]

U.S main for me

[marble crater]

yea ground only here

idk how to fire the ship

[west yoke]

You just aim, BOOM and let it land and miss

thats how it works for me

[cosmic dragon]

Point and click basically

Same as the tanks

Planes are a little different

Plane is already moving, so you fly and shoot using the mouse also

[west yoke]

I some how landed a plan with only one wing and got it fixed

[cosmic dragon]

Never done that before

[west yoke]

I did and it was wild

[cosmic dragon]

I'll take a screenshot of my lineup tonight, but I have the TAM, Leopard A1A1 and Leopard 1 in my lineup. Two 9.0 tanks and one 8.0 tank

[west yoke]

This is basicly how any match with my main WT friends go.

Oh and BTW, this is what its like playing WT in VR

[cosmic dragon]

You can do the gunner sight through the gun if you want. It makes it easier to land your shots

[west yoke]

Yeah but its buggy, if i turn my head, it auto rotates the turret.

[cosmic dragon]

I'm talking about the first video

[west yoke]

Oh, then yeah..i fludged up

[cosmic dragon]

I do want to do WT in VR but I have no idea how to set it up

[west yoke]

Its buggy.
But its neat sitting in the commander seat

[midnight ermine]

WHATS A MAIN?!>

i died

after getting 2 elims tho

now i spawn in plane

lol a tiger up here

[cosmic dragon]

WT youtuber level of commentary and video lol

[cosmic dragon]

Swapped the TAM and A1A1 around

Lol

@ivory moss second time that's happened

[ivory moss]

oof

[cosmic dragon]

But I also got first somehow

[cosmic dragon]

I mean us being in the same match

[ivory moss]

oh right lol

[cosmic dragon]

Lol

[robust shale]

@ivory moss

https://youtu.be/Vbo5PdmlMxc?si=_12dkzo5PNIKEpOh

Low tier got heavily buffed

For basically everyone

[sullen latch]

Neat lol

[ivory moss]

Hell ye

oh no

explosive watermelons

gamba gamba

[midnight ermine]

My 30m sl is gone!

It’s all gone!

[sullen latch]

Gamba gamba lmao

Was it worth it Rat?

😂

[midnight ermine]

Idk yet

I’m about to do it when I get home

I just know it’ll be gone fast tho

[midnight ermine]

I’ll post pics soon

[marble crater]

how do i get good like that

i rush in to much

[cosmic dragon]

I sit back, snipe a couple people before I rush in

[midnight ermine]

ITS TIME

FIRTST CRATE !!!

AND 10M GONE

ANYONE NEED A BOOSTER?

[robust shale]

recycles it all

[midnight ermine]

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

[cosmic dragon]

Am I not allowed to screenshot WT anymore?

Apparently I can't screenshot using Adrenalin either

[midnight ermine]

guys!

new body pillow!!!

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale just got this

[robust shale]

que

ah

I havne't gambled anything

[midnight ermine]

i only get this

like why tier 1 smh

[ivory moss]

so close to a nuke

[robust shale]

that was quick

[robust shale]

acceptable

[midnight ermine]

i hate it here smh

[cosmic dragon]

So like

How TF do you kill an Obj. 279?

Because my depleted uranium darts just break when I hit it

[midnight ermine]

good question

i only ever ran into it a few times

i was able to take it out tho

[cosmic dragon]

Best to hit it side on?

[midnight ermine]

id think so

[midnight ermine]

ooo

[midnight ermine]

im in trouble folks

what am i gonna do !

[hollow dawn]

activate them all at the same time, and have the worst game of your life

[midnight ermine]

so every game gotcha

[midnight ermine]

smh again

[cosmic dragon]

I hate the Obj. 279 for that reason

The HEAT rounds are too op

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine you never promoted @hollow dawn in the squadron

[zealous hull]

PSA explosive watermelons are garbage dont buy em lol

[sullen latch]

I did earlier....

Bye bye 1.5mil

[midnight ermine]

I’ll take care of it later

I could’ve sworn I did promote him

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9631-war-thunder-comes-to-game-pass-and-with-gifts-en

[midnight ermine]

not bad

[cosmic dragon]

I shot someone straight through the cannon breech and somehow killed the entire crew

[hollow dawn]

I had a teammate ram me because I "stole his kill", and proceeded to end up as his enemy the next game, and I shot him down 4 times in a row lol

[cosmic dragon]

I just realized that the Leopard 1 has the same engine sound as the Centurion

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/J2kfeMFs8Hw

Oh yeah, I decapped a point and took it by myself too

[hollow dawn]

gotta love struggling to get bomber and strike aircraft kills, and having the game crash the second i line my sights up on a bomber

[sullen latch]

Typical Gaijin game things

[robust shale]

RIP

[cosmic dragon]

https://forum.warthunder.com/t/community-update-no-7-talking-about-what-s-coming-soon/257239

[midnight ermine]

same

[hollow dawn]

Unpopular opinion; all factions should have some variant of the f16

[cosmic dragon]

That is a lot of moolah

[cosmic dragon]

Well shit

[robust shale]

Only if it can be justified with similar nations as a sub tech tree

[hollow dawn]

Polish F16 for USSR, Norwegian F16 for Sweden, Taiwanese F16 for China etc

[sullen latch]

Why would Poland be USSR?

[robust shale]

Polish wouldn't be under Russian

And it would depend on how large a tech tree already is

Poland vehicles exist in 2 tech trees only rn

British and German

F16 also already in China tech tree

Current tech trees with the F-16:
Israel
France
China
America
Italy
Japan

Only nations missing it:
Germany
Russia
Sweden

Germany wouldn't make much sense as they've never operated the F-16

Swiss is in German tech tree wouldn't make sense to have an F-16 as they operate the F-18s

Only sub tree that would make sense is Sweden at this point

Mostly cause of how few top tier planes Sweden has access to already

[hollow dawn]

You right, but czechia would be

[robust shale]

Czech would make sense

As they currently exist in the Russian tech tree

[robust shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yer8H_1cLAc

Heads up

August nerfs inbound

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSFZdBIaaBUcnWA6-Z2YyU1WoxTIVkYID52nBc9ISbCYGZt57no6b_bCZq9P_C7iMWgWk_CY3SnIcWD/pubhtml

all Type 90 Japan MBTs are being upped to 11.7 from 11.3

all tentative

Bagle panzer being upped to 10.7

@midnight ermine XM800T bumped to 8.7 possibly

rat tanks

Tiger II has been nerfed

BMP/BMDs being nerfed in BR

all changes tentative I thinkn

[midnight ermine]

I saw

It’s silly

They just nerfing me

[robust shale]

@ivory moss French MSC nerf

now 11.0

well then

this is a lot of changes

rat spot rat spot

[cosmic dragon]

Bro the tigers are already slow

[ivory moss]

Bruh istg they doing everything to make france unplayable

[cosmic dragon]

Tigers are slower now

But they're also their correct speed

[cosmic dragon]

I just had this map

[cosmic dragon]

what

[midnight ermine]

2 free elims with my magic 2's and 2 elims from dogfighting

So little rp tho

i used that 150% booster too

[midnight ermine]

forgot to say same

[robust shale]

ez

mmmmmm

quick succession of kills

[midnight ermine]

just sniping folks across the map lol

[cosmic dragon]

Gepard is so op

It's annoying when I get killed by it but it's probably fun to kill people lol

[midnight ermine]

it certainly is fun haha

first time using it

im using a 8.3 lineup rn

my air support aint that good rn tho

[cosmic dragon]

I do AA with a Marder

[cosmic dragon]

New tank

[midnight ermine]

Nice

[cosmic dragon]

I have to suffer with HEAT before I can research APFSDS for it

[midnight ermine]

Yup

It’s rough

But you got it

[robust shale]

What air support

If you on any team except USA or Russia expect 0 air support

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @hollow dawn @sullen latch

[ivory moss]

Wtf lol

[cosmic dragon]

Tiger 2 with M60 ERA panels

And Leopard track covers?

And Leopard 1 gun and rangefinder

That is cursed

[hollow dawn]

This is some Ukraine type shit

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine there was 5 IRIS SAM sites on my team

including me there was 6 active SPAA SAM sites

literal moment of fuck your airspace up

[cosmic dragon]

I keep forgetting the TAM moves faster backwards than forward

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/SZouXdjNjP0?si=asqYWBMmLTpp4OAP

Gaijin bullshit

Just tell us you don't wanna mess with Russian bias without telling us

[robust shale]

[cosmic dragon]

Update: I researched the APFSDS rounds for it

[sullen latch]

Why would they do that? 🤣

[hollow dawn]

love me some stealth fighters in my 50s jet fighter battle

[robust shale]

That thing sucks tho lol

Stealth is not so stealth

Only has access to 2 munitions

And in ground battles Ive seen it 5 times and I've shot down 3 with stingers on a Gepard

it's actually such a bad plane in game

[robust shale]

@ivory moss F-18 Super Hornets

they are being added already

[ivory moss]

damnnnnn

[sullen latch]

Nuh uhhh

Say it aint so

[sullen latch]

we are getting the Ram 1 on the British tree 😂

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/236390/view/501707621168841700

[robust shale]

Damn about time

[robust shale]

Fun fact that's an M3 Lee chassis

Minus the side gun

[sullen latch]

Such a strange tank haha

Dont really see a reason why we are getting it tbh

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/HBjvMuhfdkM?si=l9lrbuXyjphD0_58

Next major update soon already

[sullen latch]

Wild lmao

[cosmic dragon]

SPAA time

[sullen latch]

Maybe lol

[cosmic dragon]

Also what purpose does the Marder serve? Because it can't really punch through medium tanks like the leopard or Abrams

I also just really want the Gepard lol

Hold W and just hold left click until you run out of ammo

[robust shale]

@sullen latch this is sad I only had air kills

[sullen latch]

Dear lord Hawk 😂😂

[robust shale]

Kek

plane snipes are back

[cosmic dragon]

bruh why is this team so small

and again

[ivory moss]

Ive seen worse, 5-6 people on each team and half of them are bots

Super tense battle tbh because you dont know where anyone is

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @sullen latch I pissed a chinese player off

[ivory moss]

Classic chinese players

[robust shale]

well

to be fair

I sniped them 30km

with anti air

I locked radar

and killed him as he spawned in his F-15E

@ivory moss correction within 20km

[cosmic dragon]

So like

What purpose does the dozer blade serve in WT

[ivory moss]

Orbital strike type shii

Valid crash out tbh

[sullen latch]

the same purpose it servers IRL, it can be used to dig into the ground and create a "hull down" position

really more of the modern tanks should have them

[cosmic dragon]

Abrams should have it

[sullen latch]

theres only 1 abrams variant that does

and thats the M1A1 HC variant

really most of the Abrams in game should have it and not just the one

[cosmic dragon]

My thought process was it somehow added extra armour to pre detonate HEAT rounds

Apparently not

But it looks good regardless

[hollow dawn]

gotta love going against "9.0" mig 21S R13-100 with radar, IR and radar missiles, afterburner and flares in 8.3 1950s subsonic jet game

[cosmic dragon]

I'm in consistent uptiers since I have a 9.3 tank in my lineup lol

[sullen latch]

Thats why you dont do that

[cosmic dragon]

I have the Leopard A1A1 and TAM at 9.0 and the Leopard 1A5 at 9.3

However all tanks have APFSDS

[cosmic dragon]

GB Ground Buff Soon???

Likes

1891

Instagram

Brit tech tree changes

[sullen latch]

They could use a little buff tbh

Especially early Brit

[robust shale]

This is still fucking hilarious just the snap with the gepard

getting 1 tick of bullets out and dying

[robust shale]

@sullen latch I go crazy go stupid with SPAA

I'm in the enemy spawn with my IRIS RADAR truck

launching missiles into the air spawn

knocked out a SU-30 and SU-27 out of the sky the second it popped onto radar

[sullen latch]

oh dear god Hawk 😂

youve taken spawn camping to a new level now

youre such a rat haha

[robust shale]

if it gets me closer to the enemy

I'll do it

literally

one after another

as I sat in their spawn

just yeet missles

ngl utlizing commander fire override is very useful

you can see over hills more with commander view and fire control

@ivory moss @sullen latch @midnight ermine nasty little shot utilizing commander view(doesn't show it in replay sadly)

literally only shot the tiny ass optic of the BMP

with HEAT-FS which was just enough to OP

[ivory moss]

goddamn

[midnight ermine]

lol

[robust shale]

pretty sure the Dicker Max isn't even a Panzer 4 chassis

pretty sure it was based on the prototype of the Porsche Tiger 1

or whatever came before it

wiat no that was the st emil that's not frmo that family

[sullen latch]

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/GUxd6L1S7Pc?si=dSzPBp-oWaoNTOgT

[ivory moss]

Looks like a tam

[cosmic dragon]

TAM is on the Marder platform

[robust shale]

similar

but not the same chassis

it's actually a Sheridan

the chassis is based on the M551 Sheridan

but then further developed into its own unique little thing

it's a 105mm cannon just like the TAM, very bad ammo rack

quite the long barrel

ported muzzle break which is weird

[ivory moss]

a bit of this and a bit of that ahh lol

[cosmic dragon]

I thought that would be much higher in BR

@ivory moss I'm researching this now

And like no decent camos exist for it

[ivory moss]

ooo thats a nice tank

super annoying to face

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah, I've been killed so many times by the MBT-70

It looks dumb but I love it

[robust shale]

yea. took a sheridan chassis at first then made it unique and then you got the TAM clone for Thailand

made by the US

and exists in the JP and US tech tree

and as regular tech tree tanks

not premium

[ivory moss]

Wow gaijin was generous here lmao

[robust shale]

but no KF41 for germany

[ivory moss]

Pftt yall got the puma already

[robust shale]

we deserve the KF41

[ivory moss]

Maybe after gaijin nerfs france again then youll get something

[robust shale]

nah

they'll just nerf france

[ivory moss]

Lol

[hollow dawn]

i performing better than premium players with downtiered planes

[cosmic dragon]

I just realized

APFSDS and APDS can pen the T92 Doom Turtle

[midnight ermine]

wow

i got this

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale

funny to just bully tanks with this thing

[midnight ermine]

crazy how we was winning but they got a nuke

[robust shale]

the wonders of having that 1 better player clutch it

[midnight ermine]

IKR

also

does the 8.3 gepard really only get 40 rounds of sabot?

[robust shale]

all gepards only got 40

that's historical accuracy

the gepard was only given 40 rounds for defensive

it's honestly a little useless

[midnight ermine]

[robust shale]

it's easier to just aim for barrels with the stock belts

and shoot for hatches

and lets the game bullshit the bounces

[cosmic dragon]

How did I non pen a Maus with a DART

[cosmic dragon]

Wiesel stood NO chance

I HIT THE DRIVER'S PERISCOPE

[midnight ermine]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BPnxEq/

Kinda nuts

[hollow dawn]

i have not done anything to this clip other than trimming it

slammed my knee into the bottom of the desk, and my pc borked

it's a miracle that i didn't crash, cause in the beginning, i had 7FPS

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9646-development-commando-stingray-born-in-america-established-in-thailand-en?

[cosmic dragon]

FLAT

[cosmic dragon]

Went to mid BR to grind for the Gepard. Not bad

Playing high tier has trained me for mid tier lmao

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/1776

[cosmic dragon]

I have discovered something

I CAN buy the premium packs, I just have to buy them on PS first before I can use them on PC

Since I'm playing my account on PC

[robust shale]

@sullen latch lmao I shot out 5 enemy jets from their air spawn

25km out

easy

and intercept munitions

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch

[cosmic dragon]

Certainly one of the music choices of time lol

[ivory moss]

tries to escape: crashes

[robust shale]

he let me live

so i proceeded to take my truck back to B and cap that instead

[sullen latch]

Dear god 😂

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale this leo one tried flanking me

he hit me and disabled my gunner and driver

but my higher level crew came back and i was able to take him out lol

[cosmic dragon]

I have my highest level crew on my main tank

I think that crew is level 125

[cosmic dragon]

Oh no

[ivory moss]

big bomb

[cosmic dragon]

I tried to cut it off right as it exploded but I didn't get the timing right

I hooked a shot from 1105m and killed a Tiger E

Straight through the mantlet

GUARANTEED that dude was PISSED

That shot was DIRTY

[sullen latch]

we are getting ANOTHER BF109 variant?!

ffs 😂

we needed that like we need another sherman

how many BF109s will that make in game now??

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9652-development-bf-109-t-2-a-rare-gem-en

[sullen latch]

Yes i know i saw already

[hollow dawn]

duped the fuck out of this guy

[cosmic dragon]

Did you see the snipe I did?

[sullen latch]

nope

[cosmic dragon]

@sullen latch

Here

[cosmic dragon]

Getting closer @ivory moss @midnight ermine

I've kinda just researched all over the place

[ivory moss]

noiceee

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9654-development-updating-the-tiger-ii-p-model-en

King Tiger rework

Actually they're gonna rework both the Porsche turret one and Henschel turret one

[cosmic dragon]

Tiger 2 gets the Zimmerit coating that protected against magnetic mines, despite Germany being the only country at that time to use them

[ivory moss]

Thats cool

[cosmic dragon]

WHAT

@ivory moss

I dead ass just fuckin got that in the box

[ivory moss]

Sheeesh

[cosmic dragon]

I'll ping rat when he's here next

But there ain't no fuckin way I got that first try

[midnight ermine]

Ooo nice

[cosmic dragon]

I got insane luck with that

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale

[cosmic dragon]

How much ammo do you typically take?

[midnight ermine]

It honestly depends on what tank I’m using

If it’s a rat I take full

It spaa its full

If it’s heavy maybe 1/4

If it’s a snipey tank maybe half depends on map

[cosmic dragon]

I take 25 across medium/light/heavy tanks

And TDs

I take 20 APDS/APCBC/APFSDS and 5 HEAT-FS/HE

I take full load of APCR because it's absolute garbage

If I'm playing the King Tigers, I take exactly enough to fill the ready rack, 20 APCBC and 2 APHE

I need to experiment with those numbers though

[robust shale]

it seems the M60A3 TTS(Taiwan/CN tech tree) has been given a slight buff to ammo

now has access to DM33 SABOT

[cosmic dragon]

Isn't that what it's supposed to have?

[cosmic dragon]

I found this interaction in another server funny

I hit them with the

"Here's the funny thing, I do have a job"

[ivory moss]

Lmao

Little do they know 142 days aint anything

I know people with 900 day streaks

[cosmic dragon]

I mean it's my longest login streak

[cosmic dragon]

My teammates in this match were DUMB AS FUCK

Uncoordinated
One rammed me into the wall before repairing me

And they saw me getting shot and proceeded to do absolutely nothing to help me out

[cosmic dragon]

And a sweet 5 kills

I'm pulling my weight here

[midnight ermine]

ah dude

i was 1km away

as i got jumped by 3 enemy planes

i took one out

but i went down just short

my teammate got one too after me tho

and we won

[cosmic dragon]

We all need to get together at some point and play a few games

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch US Mains suffer. T29 nerf reloads

lol

[ivory moss]

damnn

[robust shale]

also

gotta love HE

OP an HSTVL

very handy to have HE on the Leo 2 PL

light tanks ratting out in the distance

sabot not the best to use

just yeet cannon them

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch and this is why you carry HE even in top tier

sometimes a slower shell is better so you can arc shots over a hill too

[cosmic dragon]

I normally carry HEAT-FS

I might add HE into my shell lineup

[ivory moss]

I mean aint every top tier gun like 120mm

Easy op surely

[robust shale]

not always

depends on the shell

HEAT can OP. did that to a BMP

HE more consistent cause more HE filler

not many NATO tanks keep HE

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9654-development-updating-the-tiger-ii-p-model-en?

Porsche turret King Tiger update

[midnight ermine]

yup cant wait for october

my wallet is ready

[robust shale]

bruh

[ivory moss]

Top 10 most useless teammates oat

[robust shale]

god awful teams lmao

still won

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch

[ivory moss]

noice

[sullen latch]

Dayumn haha

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch HOLY SHIT I DID IT

[ivory moss]

noice

and nice and totally historically accurate a10

[cosmic dragon]

I'm using the M109G. It's actually not as bad as I thought

It just basically has paper for armour

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @sullen latch @midnight ermine USA T58 new tank. = M103 hull with oscillating turret of the French amx-50 series

[ivory moss]

Hell yeah

Id pay money for that

[sullen latch]

Neat concept lmao

Love that War Thunder is just adding whatever at this point 😂

What BR is it?

[midnight ermine]

Pay up

[robust shale]

Rank 5 idk what br

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cosmic dragon]

Not something I can buy on PC with having the PS account on it unless I buy it through PS store

[sullen latch]

Like we needed more Rank 5 tanks 😂

[cosmic dragon]

What BR is the A-10 and why the hell was it in an arcade battle?

[cosmic dragon]

Reference this

[midnight ermine]

10.3?

[cosmic dragon]

Then how the hell did it end up in 6.0-7.0 arcade battles

[midnight ermine]

Hmm

Not sure tbh

[ivory moss]

damn thats a steep price tbh

ill just shit on the T58 now to make me feel better

the AMX50 turret is paper thin and has a big forehead

[cosmic dragon]

Another week another ban wave lol

[sullen latch]

Thats not shocking

[cosmic dragon]

Not at all

I've seen plenty of cheaters in my games

I remember somebody on my team tried getting another dude on my team reported because he crashed into him

[cosmic dragon]

Hmm

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/sQMzHk9MRAI

So this is the German theme in WT

Interesting

https://youtu.be/Qk33Qh8JFN4

And this was the OG Germany theme. Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Vagner

[cosmic dragon]

Probably my best match yet

[marble crater]

just played a match and says my activity is still zero in the catsr thing

[cosmic dragon]

Skill issue

But real, I have no idea

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/7VRU-KVIyMw?si=tqKvtYvcIcLregiX

More boom

[ivory moss]

More cas food

[robust shale]

Oh this. it's cause it updates every so often doesn't actively update

[marble crater]

oh

[sullen latch]

Yee

[robust shale]

usually updates every few days I think at least

cause the Squadron XP is 3 day periods

it's a weird system

[marble crater]

does it delete too

[robust shale]

wdym

it resets it

[marble crater]

oh

[robust shale]

if I recall correctly

idk

I don't usually check

[midnight ermine]

OH MAN

this had me cracking up

this fox slammed into a rock and broke his tracks at spawn

he needed repairs right away lol

then the team just rammed him away

they pushed him into a ditch lol

[sullen latch]

Good lmao

[robust shale]

Good

[cosmic dragon]

Play stupid games win stupid prizes lol

[midnight ermine]

you cant see it good

but someone landed a plane behind my smoke

i got em

not the right rat tho

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch fun fact

if you drive the IRIS trucks or any multi vehicle

if you leave it in Cruise Control and then swap to another truck and then CC it again

you can have all 3 trucks in cruise control

going anywhere you want

[ivory moss]

Damnnn

[cosmic dragon]

ALMOST THERE

@ivory moss

[cosmic dragon]

How the hell did a Fox just completely annihilate me???

I started firing THE SECOND I saw him

[ivory moss]

fox has apds rounds

super op tbh

rat

[cosmic dragon]

I say that but I plan on being exactly the same way with the Gepard when I get that

[ivory moss]

nah too big to be a rat

and you get like 120 apds rounds

[cosmic dragon]

I'm a rat with the Leopards

I'll do it with the Gepard

Though I need to get back into playing Leopards since I'm used to the Tigers again

[ivory moss]

lmao i destroyed a nuke plane in arcade

[cosmic dragon]

So it did exist

@ivory moss

[ivory moss]

yo

[robust shale]

CF-18 being added to War Thunder 100% Gaijin confirms

Chances of Aussie F-18 possible then

[ivory moss]

noiceeeee

oooo good

[robust shale]

Cause that means for the game

[ivory moss]

EA-18G

[robust shale]

We have USA, Switzerland, Sweden, etc for F-18s already

It seems it might go under British though

Fuck

[ivory moss]

true

[sullen latch]

Aussie would go under US most likely considering M1A1 AIM and such

[robust shale]

Nah itd also go under UK probably

As a premium

Bet

Canadian line is tech tree

Aussie becomes premium

And the US wouldn't make sense

They already have the main tree and premium F-18

[sullen latch]

Hmmmm yeah maybe so

[sullen latch]

I mean... tell that to the M1A1 AIM tho Hawk 😂

Like US already has Aussie abrams lmao

[robust shale]

It makes more sense for the Aussies to end up in the UK tech tree overall as they can add more unique ones

The US is already pretty full as it is too

Canadian leopard yea is under Germany cause manufacturers

The placement is either manufacturers origin or the user origin

Or whoever stole it

[sullen latch]

I mean... the F-18s are all produced in US and then exported no?

So by that thinking all F18s should be US tech tree 😂

[robust shale]

User origin

Who's the user? Canada. Who did they come from UK

Abrams manufacturer origin US so gets put into US

[sullen latch]

I guess

[robust shale]

Also new leaks of upcoming vehicles

new SPAA trucks for France/Italy

CV90105 might return(TBD)

Stingray(was already confirmed

T-84 OPLOT, Ukrainian tank used by Thailand

another F-5

Sweden tech tree may get mosquitos

@ivory moss that new boom cannon I mentioned the M55 Howitzer 8in is being added to Germany

USA Air B-66
UK Sky Sabre SPAA
Thailand M60 models

maybe a bundle pack

and Russian new SPAA

[sullen latch]

But no SPAA for USA because get shafted ig right?

Like.. US is only getting what... 3 vehicles this update?

[robust shale]

They already have one you goon

the HUMMER

is already in the game for the US

stoooobid

[sullen latch]

Im aware

Slaamrams is dumb though lmfao

[robust shale]

everyone has an SPAA with decent capabilities MINUS the Sweds

the Sweds got shafted

theirs sucks

[ivory moss]

ooo more boom booms

next to m44?

[robust shale]

no idea

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss @sullen latch @midnight ermine FINALLY a good ass game, 6 kills across 3 tanks

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @sullen latch this is sad lmao

got more kills with the howitzer again

then I did any other tank

[sullen latch]

dear lord Hawk

[cosmic dragon]

M48A2 G A2 is not a bad tank

[ivory moss]

Bruh lol

They should up the br of it then

[robust shale]

I also had my PF fuze on an air craft

but do 0 damage

its a 7.7 in 10.3

I was full up tiered

lmao

[ivory moss]

Noiceee. Ic you’re researching the wiesel

[robust shale]

considering it has a ready rack of 2 shells, with a 5s reload with ready rack, 7s without

sure

[ivory moss]

Historically accurate tbh

[robust shale]

it's the size of the Maus

but it's a yeet cannon

not accurate yet

[cosmic dragon]

Trying to grind for the Gepard

[robust shale]

the PzH2000 is still used to this day

so 12.0 would be accurate

LOL

[ivory moss]

Yup lol

[robust shale]

I tried it

it kinda worked

but it is really based on map range

[ivory moss]

Looks very off when you see the pzh amongst post ww2 tanks lol

[robust shale]

I still hate the regular Gepard as an SPAA

shit sucks

[ivory moss]

Better than the zsu57

[robust shale]

no

ZSU prob better as anti tank

then Gepard

[ivory moss]

Hell nah

Ammo racks everywhere

Like literally

[robust shale]

I mean

the Gepard isn't surviving anything either

[ivory moss]

It can survive arty at least lol

[robust shale]

ZSU you get it at a lower BR with better APHE

[ivory moss]

Open top is annoying

[robust shale]

Technically speaking

the ZSU could be given SABOT

its the same exact shell used in the 2S38

[ivory moss]

Oh yeah lol

Thatd be crazy

[robust shale]

it's annoying the Stinger Gepard

is 9.7

if I get up tiered that's Abrams territory

[cosmic dragon]

There is a WW2 Ho-Ri in with my Cold War tank game

[ivory moss]

As if you cant just kill them lol

[robust shale]

ehhh

[ivory moss]

If they patch the buggy round its over though

[robust shale]

frontally a little more annoying

it aint a bug

just physics

the game physics wacky

[ivory moss]

Aint it like 7.3

Ho ri production

[cosmic dragon]

yeah

RIP M48A2 G A2 and Leopard 1

[robust shale]

paper tank

[cosmic dragon]

Paper tank and somehow an APDS round knocks out the gunner

[ivory moss]

Both yours lol?

[cosmic dragon]

Yep lmao

[robust shale]

oh Rizzler

did you know

[cosmic dragon]

I found a decent sniping point on that part of the map so

[robust shale]

it is possible to destroy Anti Air in RB Ground

[ivory moss]

Honestly ho ri players are so cocky. Just rush in cuz they think they have good armor

[robust shale]

Airfield Anti Air can be killed in regular RB Ground battles

by tanks

[cosmic dragon]

Also @ivory moss if you look to the left of that image, you see a Panzerhaubitze that got deleted

[ivory moss]

You get anything from doing that?

Like sl

[robust shale]

yea

target destroyed and all

killfeed too

[ivory moss]

Looks destroyed but not destroyed

[ivory moss]

Killfeed spam speedrun

[cosmic dragon]

It's the HU variant

[ivory moss]

That and shooting bombs

[cosmic dragon]

Fuck sake

I went to go be sneaky and snipe but both a Patton and chieftain marksnam noticed me

I'm on the Poland map

Trying to go where the mouse cursor is

[ivory moss]

Yeah youre pretty exposed there

Id go the road behind that- where the two teammates are

[robust shale]

down tier pog

[cosmic dragon]

Where at?

Failed again

[robust shale]

ok nvm not pog I got someone hacking

this is new

flying Chinese tanks

cool

[ivory moss]

If I remember the spot you were in cant look at C, the spot behind gets a view of B and C

[ivory moss]

Thats my daily playing experience tbh

250 ping is the lowest i go lmao

[robust shale]

this is fucked

flying tanks

insta reload

[ivory moss]

https://tenor.com/view/coming-helicopter-tank-flying-tank-soldier-gif-17054649

[cosmic dragon]

How damn strong is the IS-4?

Ate four PzGr 43 rounds and one HEAT-FS round

Also most usedful PzH 2000 player lol

I know what the thing on the right is, but what's the thing on the left?

[robust shale]

ez enough

[cosmic dragon]

I. HATE. HELIS

[midnight ermine]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BEQvkp/

[sullen latch]

Seems like M55 is gonna be around the 4.0 BR and added to several nations apparently

wtf is it doing down that low though lmao

[cosmic dragon]

They'll change it sometime after release, don't worry

[sullen latch]

i aint worried 🤣

[robust shale]

Really? Well it's fair to be several nations

It's a US design used by a lot of people in the Cold war

It's probably gonna end up in China, USA, Germany, Italy

As the main users

Maybe some sub tech tree users

But those 4 make the most sense

[robust shale]

@ivory moss seems the CF-188A and RAAF versions of the F-18 are being added specifically

meaning we ARE in fact getting the Canadian and Australian

FUCK MAN

I want it now

[robust shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icZd6vDi4Zs

other videos too

oh boy

new BMD for Russia

ok... the Russian SPAA missile truck in devs tream is bullshit. 70km launch range vs the IRIS 40km

ok then the French/Italian SAM is even more cracked

50G Max Overload, 100KM range

[sullen latch]

Another one?

[robust shale]

yep

tech tree

[sullen latch]

But russian bias isnt real and cant hurt us huh

[ivory moss]

Hell yeah. Is it the EA18G? That version is made for electronic warfare

[robust shale]

No

[ivory moss]

Fuck

[robust shale]

Only regular CF-188, F-18 early and late

[robust shale]

UK basically will have 3 F-18s

[ivory moss]

Would be nice to have signal jammers lol

[robust shale]

We don't have the Supers yet

[ivory moss]

Dang

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine take a look at this

[robust shale]

Honestly it's expected to see soon

Maybe

[sullen latch]

Wild

[midnight ermine]

Not bad

Ooo almost to Gepard huh

[cosmic dragon]

Ye. Decided to focus Gepard before researching more tanks

[midnight ermine]

You’ll enjoy it lol

[cosmic dragon]

I want to rip tanks to shreds lol

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/vZA0GkLNDeQ

I know this is an April Fools joke

But IMAGINE if they added Infantry

[robust shale]

@sullen latch I've done it again

I'm just better

ain't got no horizontal? well I become a cheese wedge tank gotta use my tracks

[sullen latch]

Dear lord hawk 🤣🤣

[cosmic dragon]

damn

[robust shale]

ok not bad

at least it wasn't more PzH2000 kills

[cosmic dragon]

absolutely diabolical angle

[midnight ermine]

No premium is rough

[robust shale]

@sullen latch @ivory moss @midnight ermine the 155mm auto loader for USA is awful looking at dev side

this is if you load HESH

that first line on the vertical is 200m

super low velocity

hesh is not final though

[sullen latch]

OOOOF

If its a cold war vehicle its not shocking that its hot garbage tho

[robust shale]

it's gonna suck balls

super fast reload maybe

but super low velocity

[sullen latch]

Good luck killing anything big with it lmfao

[robust shale]

also funny ahh Aim9 missiles for WW2 germany

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQPFbpNY1qU

[sullen latch]

😆 finally

[robust shale]

funny ahh IR DEV missiles rn

[sullen latch]

Was wondering if theyd ever add the funny ahh WW2 germany ordance lmfao

[robust shale]

while the X-4 exists

it was not IR based

[sullen latch]

Germany had some funny prototypes they were working on

[robust shale]

it was wire guided

lmao

[cosmic dragon]

Cold War vehicles are pretty good though

But the majority of them have HEAT rounds

[robust shale]

if only Germany would go on that crack again and make some crazy shit

closest we got is the next gen MBT being 130mm or 140mm autoloader

on a Leopard 2 hull

the Panther

still looks crazy

[cosmic dragon]

See: WW2 prototypes lmao

[ivory moss]

Bruh lol

Tanks move faster than that

[robust shale]

250m/s HESH placeholder

[sullen latch]

They might lmao

[sullen latch]

Wasnt this approved for full scale production?

[sullen latch]

Ehhhh depends on the tank haha

[robust shale]

not sure. it's not in service but it's development is in progress

[sullen latch]

Ahhh gotcha. Hard to keep track of stuff like that tbh

[robust shale]

not very public info yet

only revealed in 2022 a prototype

that's about it so far

[sullen latch]

Ik they increased their military budget 😳

[cosmic dragon]

What tank would be considered a yeet tank in WT

I'm thinking the Tiger 2 because of the long 88mm

[sullen latch]

No its any of the Artillery tanks that are labeled as SPGs 😂

[cosmic dragon]

Just yeet the projectile in the general direction

[sullen latch]

Yes lmao

88 is still small compared to the 155s and the bigger guns all the Howitzers have

[robust shale]

shit team

no idea how my HEAT shell didn't obliterate a ZSU

but Gaijin loves their Russian tanks

[cosmic dragon]

88 still packs a hell of a punch though

I've gotten some nasty longshot kills with it

[robust shale]

good

all actual heli and planes fuck out of my air space

[robust shale]

@ivory moss KPZ 70 seems to have been given a hidden buff?

the ATGM loading time is 18s down from 20s

[ivory moss]

Oh damn

Still horribly long

[robust shale]

ATGM sucks tho

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch I HAD IT I HAD THE NUKE

BUT NOOO MY TEAM IS ASS

[ivory moss]

Rip

[robust shale]

and then some teammate had the audacity to tell me to get on point

mf I did cap points

[ivory moss]

Lmaoo

[sullen latch]

Niceeee lol

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss @sullen latch fuck yeah

Enemy team was completely brain dead

Me staying in the same tank never happens

[ivory moss]

Noicee

[robust shale]

geh the Gepard doesn't have laser

forgot about that

welp guess I'm just gonna go close quarters with it

[cosmic dragon]

I get ONE good game and everything after that is just shit

Exhibit A

[cosmic dragon]

I just had this map, now I'm on the other side

Still grinding for the Gepard

How does not having a gunner stop your tank from moving?

[cosmic dragon]

👀

The names I gave my presets

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine SO CLOSE

[ivory moss]

I forgot the luchs even existed

Most useless thing ever lol

[cosmic dragon]

That's why I'm just buying them and not using them

I may throw something together with some of the vehicles I bought but haven't used

[robust shale]

That is one horrible MBT UK

The Challie 3

That's one huge ass forehead of a front plate

And big ass target for the drivers

[robust shale]

not that hard actually to kill 279 with sabot

[robust shale]

fuck helicopters

close to a nuke

[cosmic dragon]

Completely minor issue but I like to screenshot things

[hollow dawn]

just love going against aircraft 1,5-2 BRs over me, some premium, and still rocking their shit

[marble crater]

I rush in to much

[cosmic dragon]

Same

Usually it works in my favour

I've been staying back on the sidelines more recently and sniping

I've gotten some 1km+ shots before

[marble crater]

How

Didnt know the tanks can shot that far

[cosmic dragon]

They can go way longer

You just need to know how to use the sights

[cosmic dragon]

In real life, tanks are long range fighting vehicles, and they're meant to provide armour support. They're meant more for ranges between 3 miles and 5 miles

Considering modern tanks have smoothbore barrels, that's an impressive range

[marble crater]

Oh yea true lmao

Assuming lighter shells

[cosmic dragon]

Heavy shells. 40-50lb

For 120mm size shells

A well-trained M1A1 Abrams loader can reload the gun in about 5 seconds

[sullen latch]

More or less yeah

[cosmic dragon]

I spend TOO MUCH TIME on the Internet lmao

[sullen latch]

We know

😂

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah, I do some extensive research into things

I'm honestly surprised I haven't found the operation manuals for the Abrams or the Rheinmetall Rh-120 L44 (M256) gun lmao

[sullen latch]

Those aint on the internet as far as im aware

😂

[cosmic dragon]

The drivers manual for the 105 Abrams is

Declassified

111 pages

Actually, it varies

[sullen latch]

I mean that one isnt in service anymore i dont think

We only use the 120s nowadays

[cosmic dragon]

Well no, but I'm surprised that manual was declassified 40 years later

[robust shale]

US: ok no more NATO standard lets use our own shit

105 mil was replaced pretty early on too for the Abrams

the initial Abrams from 1980 was 105mm then replaced in 84 with the 120mm

[sullen latch]

Interesting lol

[cosmic dragon]

Only got replaced because the Leo 2 has the same gun

And Germany is a NATO country

[cosmic dragon]

Y'all think we're good enough lmao

[sullen latch]

No 😴

[hollow dawn]

this gotta be the most long winded and bipolar match i've ever had

shot down 3 premium uptiered jets back to back, went on for far too long without anything else happening, then shot down like 10 more jets, and spent the last 10 minutes just circling around looking for the last guy

[midnight ermine]

So little rp is crazy

Oh wait it’s arcade

[midnight ermine]

perfect landing

[cosmic dragon]

WT getting review bombed because Chinese tanks are being added to Japan's tech tree

[cosmic dragon]

I think Gaijin changed the sounds again

The 88mm of the Tiger 2 has a WHUMP now

@midnight ermine @ivory moss does this sound different?

This is in the Dev server

In game sounds for reference

[ivory moss]

A bit yeah

[cosmic dragon]

So I'm not going crazy

And for some reason whenever I record through OBS, the sounds are bass boosted

[hollow dawn]

"if the plane is on the ground and the pilot is alive, it's a good landing"

[robust shale]

ah wait

the sales are up now

hm

fuck

it's all the Russian

also cringe new decoration must play as Russian to get it

more Russian bias

[sullen latch]

Ugh

Im tempted to stop playing WT altogether considering they are heavily biased towards Russian vehicles

Given current events in Europe and all that

[midnight ermine]

If it helps the sales bad

Just wait 1 month for the 50%

[sullen latch]

Not shocked lmao

[midnight ermine]

Yup it’s bad plus I already own all of the tanks

Actually not the object and t-55am ones

[robust shale]

kinda forgot the AMX-10M is amphibious

this stupid thing is actually amphi which is crazy

[robust shale]

huh

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch I overpen with HESH almost
