The Thunder of War

[zealous hull]

yay better naval DC

:)

[cosmic dragon]

@zealous hull IDEA

LISTEN TO THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN SOUNDTRACK WHILE PLAYING NAVAL

[cosmic dragon]

whiffed it

[cosmic dragon]

T-72M1 spaded

[cosmic dragon]

OH yeah, I killed 6 tanks that game too

[zealous hull]

its amazing

[cosmic dragon]

You done it before?

[zealous hull]

no

[ivory moss]

@robust shale 100% this is on some warthunder forum lmao

[zealous hull]

MAN I love torpedo bombers

did extreme damage to one battleship, then flew low to rearm (arcade)

went and torpedoed a battlecruiser (HMS Queen Mary)

and BOOOOOOM magazine detonation

[cosmic dragon]

Guaranteed

fucks sake

as if this tank wasnt bad enough

paper thin armor, size of a boat, slow as shit

now its 5.7

theyve straight up killed it

[robust shale]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DQ61bknEZFo/

Well. The lock on with MBTs is weird still

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale

pretty cool update so far

[robust shale]

yea the flags

[cosmic dragon]

I changed the German flag to the modern German flag

Idk why they didn't automatically change when you unlocked your first vehicle in the Argentine, GDR (West German) or regular German tree

[zealous hull]

Ooh new nations

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/_uUinCYbcuw

[robust shale]

it's mainly replacement flags

so you can change it visually

you can remove France

[zealous hull]

I see why that would be wanted.

jkjk

neat feature

I see how it works now

[cosmic dragon]

As much as I want to research France

I don't want to suffer with solid shot

[robust shale]

you have to have a vehicle of the nation and user to replace the flags though

[zealous hull]

I see

[robust shale]

very... annoying that Gaijin is really sucking up tot eh China community

and not allowing seperation of the PRC and RC flags

but of course the commies are the ones Gaijin will listen to

literally cause they(China players as in Chinese Chinese) forced Gaijin to remove VT-4 from JP tree

geh

[zealous hull]

Isn’t it a large part of the player base

[robust shale]

and the most bitchy

yes

here's the thing. anytime the Chinese community get their way once? they continue to ruin it

anytime they don't get their way. it's an entire hoard just threatening to cancel the game via government and many many devs do not risk it cause they have and in fact will have it happen

same thing applies to most gacha games

in theory as well you can technically have multiple tech trees of the same nation

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/cmObWEMszw3N

also

gaijin did in fact break game again

spawns are broken

[sullen latch]

https://tenor.com/view/segundo-sol-novela-remy-vladimir-brichta-chocado-gif-12304506

[cosmic dragon]

Hmm

[zealous hull]

I LOVE when a teammate cooperates

we both sailed through a gap and behind enemy lines, him with 11" guns me with a ton of 6" guns

destroyed everything

moved from one target to the next, to the next, to the next

they were allllll dying

[midnight ermine]

The one time you don’t have a Booster active

[cosmic dragon]

This rarely happens in tank battles

[zealous hull]

This rarely happens

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss PzH2000 kill spree

man I love this thing

I barely saw the bradley even

I only saw the TOW missile cables

[ivory moss]

Lol idek how you see the enemy

I just see a buncha bushes

[robust shale]

LRF: Panzer X range meters

I saw the TOW cable on the BRadely so I LRFed the area

the PTZ I saw the machine gun HMG on top

mind you the video is 1080p

I plasy in 4k

I scale it down in clips to 1080p so I can actually share it

the IT-1 was based on the LRF call out

cause teammates scouted/marked the rough area so I just spammed LRF till I got a call out saying "Panzer ein funf(five) I think, entfernung(distance) eintausend(1000) meter"

@ivory moss this is the bradley before I shot at itjust above that yellow line was the TOW missile cable

Bradley death point

the PTZ I saw it's gun fire a moment before and you can see the HMG

[ivory moss]

Oh yeah i see it

Thats the ptz there aint it

[robust shale]

Probably

[cosmic dragon]

Accurate

[robust shale]

Hmm another event vehicle for Germany

Light car thing

[midnight ermine]

W

[ivory moss]

Oooo what br

[sullen latch]

Looked like it was an armored car with a Leo Turret?

So probably high tier

[ivory moss]

Oooo r400

6x6

[robust shale]

Rank 6 is all I checked

[robust shale]

TAM turret

at least I'm pretty sure that's closer to the TAM

yea that's based more on a TAM turret then Leopard

the Leo turrets are rounded mantlets

TANK TISM

[sullen latch]

Ahhh gotcha

Still pretty high BR though then

As TAM is 8.0 no?

[robust shale]

TAM is 9.0

it's on the marder chassis

so it'll be the same rank as the TAM

probably same BR

maybe 9.3

[sullen latch]

Ahhhh

[robust shale]

given it's being armed with DM33

makes sense that it'll sit 9.3 probably

same shell as the Leo 1A5

[midnight ermine]

lol i just bounced a point blank shot from it

i died to a gepard 30s after...

i got shot down

but i was close enough to still get the elim lol!

@robust shale

[robust shale]

well not the elim

[robust shale]

weird

war thunder clips wont' save in 4k now

wack

[robust shale]

Why no embed

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DPM6kfqE1xk

Tf

So inconsistent

[cosmic dragon]

[midnight ermine]

That’s rough

[cosmic dragon]

Sturmtiger can be used in top tier

[midnight ermine]

Bet

Otw

[zealous hull]

good round with a +300% booster, wow

get gaijined

[zealous hull]

uss Roanoke has a different sounding crew, coool

[midnight ermine]

lol no shot

i shot at this tank infront of me

my bullet ricochet and hit the guy behind him

[sullen latch]

Lmaoooo

[robust shale]

@sullen latch @midnight ermine @ivory moss hears the gentle hum of a jet

that guy was going for revenge CAS

[ivory moss]

bro was doing one of those cinematics

[cosmic dragon]

T-72M1 my beloved

[robust shale]

didn't account for i'm a crack shot

[robust shale]

what

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch I think the guy either barrel stuffed me and died from his own round. or he J out

cause I was given the reward for shooting out his munition and the kill

[ivory moss]

Bet the missle just somehow did a uey

Hows that happen lmao

[cosmic dragon]

Time to play some WT for the first time in about a week

[robust shale]

Gaijin things

ah

[cosmic dragon]

I hit his fucking driver

[cosmic dragon]

I WAS ON THE POINT

[robust shale]

huhhh

[midnight ermine]

I have never seen that

[sullen latch]

Neat

[robust shale]

FUCKK

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss I'M SO CLOSE

well I still won

T-72 kinda strong ngl

especially when the enemy are stupid and somehow whif against me

[ivory moss]

"has been punished". Does gaijin send the fbi to your house or what lol

[robust shale]

nah that's steam

[ivory moss]

https://tenor.com/view/tank-doorbell-gif-4270331981742801224

[robust shale]

I'm liking this T-72 more and more

just point click

but no way in hell am I grinding the russian tree just for this

[ivory moss]

i did lol

pain and suffering

[robust shale]

still funny watching people in RB bring full ammo

[ivory moss]

german players

[robust shale]

I'm not that stupid. I only ever bring enough to fill ready racks + maybe spare ammo

T-72 = 22 rounds max never more
leopard 1 series = more than ready rack due to having a low ready rack count 20 rounds total but it's only like 16 in ready rack

[ivory moss]

i remember i killed a panther and the m6a1 next to it got nuked

[robust shale]

the TAM I bring 22 rounds

where 1 rounds goes in the leopard layout but that gets used up easily

KPZ = auto loader so max out the auto loader

PzH 2000 well....

full ammo or not I'm dead easily

lmao

[ivory moss]

land battleship

[robust shale]

Germany was thinking of adding the pzh 2000 turret onto patrol ships

To replace the 30 or 40mm auto cannons

Kinda funny

The frigate but pzh2000

It's a real thing

[ivory moss]

thats so cursed

[sullen latch]

Oh god 😂

[robust shale]

it was only experimental

the MONARC project

it was then replaced with the Italian otobreda cannons

the 127mm

cause they found too many issues with the sea water causing issues with the cannons and turret

it was a cool concept

[midnight ermine]

Russian tree is interesting

[sullen latch]

Sure. If you want like 14 different T34 variants

😂

god i hate that

But ig its no different from the 30+ Shermans 😂

[midnight ermine]

Not me with all the premium variants

[sullen latch]

Oh god Rat why? 😂

[midnight ermine]

Yes

[sullen latch]

fair enough ig

[robust shale]

If I were to wallet it ye

I could

But ATM no

I'm not spending

Unless I wanna drop another 1k hours just to grind the Russian tree stock

That would give me pain

I already spent 1k hours for Germany

[robust shale]

woah updated map

[midnight ermine]

they finally got me 🙁

i was bombed 4 times already

[cosmic dragon]

Sherman III/IV

American or British tree?

[midnight ermine]

swedish

[cosmic dragon]

Ah

I need to play WT again

[midnight ermine]

5s reload

[cosmic dragon]

Small gun or better crew?

[cosmic dragon]

Oh, aced crew

[midnight ermine]

its as fun as this one

just got 25k rp from that

[zealous hull]

Great round

USS Roanoke is fun but very specific/niche

6x 6inx2

super fast firerate

GREAT for light cruisers and destroyers

does AA on all guns

but heavy cruisers are a little hard

and battleships are impenetrable

[cosmic dragon]

Almost done

[cosmic dragon]

I have the most kills yet somebody gets two more assists than me and gets top spot

[zealous hull]

play objective

[cosmic dragon]

I try to

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/jH71_yb6Ye0?si=1ATVn3DhkIfOklm_

Is it in the main tree?

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9807-event-get-the-r400-in-the-fast-and-dangerous-event-en?

[zealous hull]

somehow a failure?

[zealous hull]

WOOO REALLY GOOD ROUND

LOOK at that graveyard

[cosmic dragon]

Oh

[zealous hull]

always fun

[cosmic dragon]

I killed a Begleitpanzer while sitting on cap

Who brings a Jagdtiger to a 9.3 match?

[robust shale]

damn

I was close

well

a teammate also had a nuke

swaws

[cosmic dragon]

Patton spotted

[robust shale]

I'm just better

[cosmic dragon]

Damnit

[robust shale]

ow.

[robust shale]

crack shot at the helis ez

[cosmic dragon]

Bro is playing low tier

[ivory moss]

low tier fun tier

couldnt pay me to play with idiot high tier teams

[robust shale]

lmao @ivory moss just had a poor ATGM carrier Dardo attack me

4/4 missiles it used I just shot it down with mg

[cosmic dragon]

Like me lol

I'm in high tier

[robust shale]

oh boy

NGL m48 super isn't horrible

Its an okay tank

[sullen latch]

notice i havent touched it in a while

[robust shale]

smh

[zealous hull]

I’m at 750

Surprisingly close to yall tbh

[cosmic dragon]

Amateur hours

[sullen latch]

got bored of it again

meanwhile with NMS lmfao

[ivory moss]

I probably have around 2k hours now

Had 1700 end of last year

[robust shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXaFg0ldRdY

@ivory moss @midnight ermine

this effects you two the most as russian users

[midnight ermine]

Welp

Ig I’ll have to use one of my other countries

Perhaps China next

Or Japan

[cosmic dragon]

Would that also affect me since I use the German T-72M1?

[robust shale]

As long as China doesn't have a regular T-62

[midnight ermine]

Hmm

Good question

I actually don’t know

[robust shale]

which China doesn't

China went from T-54/T-55 series

to local clones of the T-55

[midnight ermine]

Nice

[robust shale]

to local versions of the T-72

tank tism

I know stuff

[cosmic dragon]

Seems like no

But I wanna test

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine you gonna farm for the German event vehicle

[midnight ermine]

Already an

I missed the first one

So I gotta open my wallet since I missed half of it

[robust shale]

damn I was so close to another nuke

was off by 150 SP

if only I had 1 more kill

T-72 really is goated for germany

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch GAIJIN PHYSICS

[robust shale]

FUICK I HAD IT

I HAD THE NUKE

[cosmic dragon]

bro...

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss I swear half of my deaths in this game is because I have teammates up my ass

\

[ivory moss]

Its always a blind panther istg

[cosmic dragon]

Nope. T-80UD in this case

[ivory moss]

Same same. All W key no S key

[cosmic dragon]

Well definitely no S key because no reverse gear 💀

[cosmic dragon]

Watch the video I sent

[midnight ermine]

lol

i dont think hes happy

[cosmic dragon]

No

It's Portuguese

He is not happy

[midnight ermine]

welp gl to my team

worth

[cosmic dragon]

I was wondering why I've never seen your name in my battles then I remembered you play realistic and I play arcade lol

[zealous hull]

Good round

[midnight ermine]

that would def do it haha

[cosmic dragon]

I bring attention back to this funny moment

That I edited

[robust shale]

bagel

[cosmic dragon]

Tiger 2 has updated models now

[cosmic dragon]

Also the ready rack for the leopard 2k is only 11 rounds

Dude whiffed it

Lobbed HE at a T-72. Wasn't expecting it to do anything

[cosmic dragon]

I hit THE THICKEST part of the T-72

And yet somehow killed it with HE

[midnight ermine]

lets go!

some console teammate tried to tk me

even tho there was no way for the enemy to win lol

whats crazy is i forgot to use my 150 booster

[ivory moss]

Noiceee

[midnight ermine]

rat down!

[robust shale]

F-16 XL to be added to war thunder

[cosmic dragon]

I LEFT WHEN THE GAME ENDED

[robust shale]

ngl I'd be mad

but that's me driving sooo

[zealous hull]

wowww rude

incredible battle I just had

I was sailing straight into a huge fleet of destroyers and light cruisers

blowing them all up while they threw all they had at me

armor said.... naahhhh

me + the 1st and 3rd place killed all but ONE of the enemy ships and I think that one spawned last second

[robust shale]

pretty sure the BTR got hit with a sabot petal

and not the dart itself

[cosmic dragon]

Sturmmaus

[ivory moss]

Wtf lol

[cosmic dragon]

Blursed image lol

[midnight ermine]

W pic

[robust shale]

Fun fact

this area of the map where I am sitting is NOT in the spawn sonze

you can snipe, scout and kill enemies in their spawn and they normally don't ever check rear

@midnight ermine

R400 light tank has no ready rack it seems

just 29 rounds of ammo

very slow reload rate as well

at most should only bring 21-22 roudns for this thing as the remaining shells are oriented like the Leopard 1

sit's at 9.7

[cosmic dragon]

Oh yeah @ivory moss @midnight ermine I got the Super Patton at some point

And time to suffer with HEAT again

[robust shale]

apparently DM-23 120mm is sufficient enough to punch through gen 1 and early Abrams turrets frontally at 500m+

[cosmic dragon]

Why 4.7 and higher?

[cosmic dragon]

DM23 unlocked btw

[ivory moss]

Pretty cool tank, im only at the kpz atm

And the leopard 1A5

[cosmic dragon]

Super Patton is interesting

[ivory moss]

Had to grind germany again because of the event vehicle

[cosmic dragon]

I'm not able to find anything on it IRL

[ivory moss]

I mean there was only 5 prototypes made

[cosmic dragon]

Had concrete armour

Which APDS could probably tear through

APFSDS does

[robust shale]

The R-400 was to be offered with multiple turret options as a recon IFV of sorts

Prototypes used 105mm rifled, production model was planned to be smooth bore, turret options included 20 or 30mm auto cannons

Which seems interesting

Not that we need more ratty auto cannons for Germany cause they all suck

[cosmic dragon]

PzH 2000NL gets a cope cage

[robust shale]

not bad

[robust shale]

I'm kinda blind lmao

[sullen latch]

Aint we all haha

[zealous hull]

WOW

just had a full on Pirates style battle

Full fledged battleships USS Wyoming, North Dakota, and RN Andrea Doria as close as 900 yards

INSANE

at one point I was 1.5km away from the North Dakota, using the Wyoming myself, and we were trading broadsides

I LOVE THIS

[robust shale]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DRkFSBfjZ3A

Major changes

GRB and GAB changes. If you queue in 1 vehicle only you'll be given(for the match) 1 additional vehicle + spaa of similar tank to ur 1 tank. This is only applied to battles/ranks of 9.3 above

[midnight ermine]

ooo

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine r400 nerfed

[midnight ermine]

Ofc it is

After making me grind 35k daily smh

[cosmic dragon]

I got it

[midnight ermine]

should i even bother to keep farming this ?

i didnt complete the first 2

and i dont think id wanna spend ge to finish it since it got nerfed

[marble crater]

I find it frustrating sometimes because you think your in cover but you still get hit from an enemy tank

[robust shale]

the nerf was to the uh depression

and elevation

otherwise for 9.7 might be good

idk

[marble crater]

r400 american?

@robust shale

[robust shale]

German.

[marble crater]

oh

[cosmic dragon]

That's how it goes

[midnight ermine]

not bad

[robust shale]

Heh

heli ramming

[ivory moss]

just found out the kpz has controllable hydropneumatic suspension

so fun to play round with

[robust shale]

yea

KPZ/MBT/X803 have it

the 803 though has a worse version

can only go up and down

the KPZ/MBT can do forward/backward/sides

[cosmic dragon]

Lmao WT is bigger on PS5 than PC

[midnight ermine]

well crap

i got this cruddy thing

i wanted the t55e1

that thing is so cool!

i also got a few boosters now

[cosmic dragon]

What's with the rubberbanding? I was turning and it just kept going straight

[ivory moss]

Might be package loss?

[cosmic dragon]

King Tiger with ERA

[cosmic dragon]

Maybe? I've had it once before but never that bad

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss

Apparently. Canada has Italian IFVs???

this is an official post from the CAF but like

the fuck

since when did we operate IFVs

how

[ivory moss]

Im more surprised about the m109 lol

[robust shale]

oh those yea we still have those apparently

long barrel versions

[ivory moss]

I mean if its just an artillery vehicle why upgrade

Not much other better options anyways

[cosmic dragon]

Honestly I'm surprised Canada hasn't bought any Panzerhaubitze

[robust shale]

not good enough

compared to more modern options

or just better ones like the PzH 2000

cause our paladins are pretty old

compared to the upgrades

[ivory moss]

I mean surely they could strike a lil deal with germany for a few of the pzh’s

Huh apparently the pzh has some ammo incompatibility with other NATO states

[robust shale]

Germany and USA have made some. special ammo for the PzH 2000

[ivory moss]

Ahh cool

[robust shale]

also what incompatibility

?

also

@ivory moss fun fact. Canada back in 03 was inititally gonna purchase m1128 stryjker platforms

to replace our Leopard 1s and AVGP Cougar(predecessor to the LAV project)

[ivory moss]

Isnt canada now trying to reduce dependency on US equipment

[robust shale]

we never really did rely on the US

most of our equipment is in house still

[ivory moss]

True

[robust shale]

besides the paladins and F-18

otherwise it's in house or German

cause our main vehicle for the cars is actually German

Literally

we use Merc G Wags

[ivory moss]

Bruhhhh lol

Gives off syrian toyota landcruiser vibes

[robust shale]

pretty much yea

lol

[robust shale]

RIP

[cosmic dragon]

That is not bad

5 clips incoming

[midnight ermine]

well lasted pretty well

[cosmic dragon]

You're in fun tier again

[midnight ermine]

yup

[cosmic dragon]

I'm struggling in 9.3 lol

[midnight ermine]

i needed spaa elims

[cosmic dragon]

I'll just use my Gepard

It's 8.3 but it's good

[midnight ermine]

its hit or miss some matches

[cosmic dragon]

I have the radar tracking

[midnight ermine]

oh

i dont mean for air

i need elims on tanks

[cosmic dragon]

OH

That makes more sense lmao

[midnight ermine]

i needed 15 of them

[cosmic dragon]

I might use the Ostwind for my kills when I get there

[zealous hull]

mmmmwah

cant believe im the only navy player here smh my head

does nobody else like pure BROADSIDE

[cosmic dragon]

Hey, I play Naval on occasion

[zealous hull]

on occasion

USS Texas

10x 14in (356mm) shells

[cosmic dragon]

What's the gun size?

14in?

[zealous hull]

14in

356mm

Iowa class had 9x 16in / 406mm

Yamato and Musashi both had 9x 460mm 18.1in

[cosmic dragon]

Bismarck had 15in

[zealous hull]

15

Ye

[cosmic dragon]

I edited it, hush

Lol

[zealous hull]

Vanguard did too but she doesn’t really count

They didn’t need the guns atp

Last battleship ever

KGV and Nelson had more I think

Or at least better

Vanguard used the same guns from WWI

2x (14in x 4)
1x (14in x 2)
KGV

[cosmic dragon]

Is that an M109 Paladin?

[midnight ermine]

finally

[cosmic dragon]

yes

[cosmic dragon]

Now I can pick backups

[midnight ermine]

welp

i fully give up on trying to get this

i have had the worst matches i have ever had in this game in the last 2hrs

doesnt help my ping decides to rise to 1k randomly as well

not even my internet just war thunder itself smh

stupidly absurd needing 35k points every 2 days just to get a non premium tank

that doesnt even have a good lineup for

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine rip I missed it

German 9.7 does have good

wdym

Germany does have good stuff in that area

totally didn't buy it

[ivory moss]

I have it

But i dont think ill use it lol

Its just soo buns

[cosmic dragon]

I was reading up on the Leopard 2

Apparently there was a point that the US could have used the Leopard 2, but decided not to after the FMC Corporation saw barely any chance of using a tank that wasn't American made

Could you imagine if the US actually used Leo 2s?

[robust shale]

I mean. It's a light vehicle

What do you expect

A 2s38?

It's comparable to the radkampf and it's fun

[robust shale]

huh

[robust shale]

so close to a nuke

literally all my ground kills and air kills came from the Gepard

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss

TLDR: Enlisted is being merged with War Thunder but modern setting

Not literally but that's how it works essentially

[sullen latch]

Neat

[robust shale]

Not in the literal sense tho

[ivory moss]

Wait so we’re the commander and the rest are bots?

I dont get it lol

[robust shale]

Command of squad bots follow if you die you take over member of bot squad

Ain't that the same as enlisted

[ivory moss]

No

Enlisted was just all players

It was chaos

[cosmic dragon]

Enlisted is PvE

I think

[sullen latch]

Enlisted is also WW2

Infantry in WT is strictly modern from what i read

[cosmic dragon]

It is

[robust shale]

For testing it'll be modern

we shall see how they'll choose to implement later

[cosmic dragon]

Lmao Russian players are pissed that Gaijin gave Japan the SU-30

Literal translation is "Mutiny against Japanese SU-30"

[ivory moss]

FAHHHH

I LITERALLY SAW THE NUKE SIGN POP UP

[cosmic dragon]

You get nukes in arcade?

[ivory moss]

yup

14 plane spawn points and you get it

ive only seen like 3 people drop them in 5 years of playing

ive also shot down a nuke carrier

[cosmic dragon]

I have seen a singular nuke in the entire like 7 years I've been playing

I made my account in 2018

I only started playing like over 200 days ago

[robust shale]

I've seen quite a few nuke drops in AB

doesn't last long

[zealous hull]

I have unlocked

USS TEXAS

https://tenor.com/view/world-of-warships-german-battleship-d4nlo-gif-15967661

*fairly certain that GIF is bismarck

[robust shale]

that's the bis

turrets more flat vs the texas rounded

[sullen latch]

The last surviving Dreadnought of WW1 😭

Those Dreadnoughts were things of beauty though i swear

[zealous hull]

And has the bridge wings

[cosmic dragon]

Those wings?

[zealous hull]

Ya

[ivory moss]

Already cursed

[robust shale]

It's gonna be a pain in the ass cause Gaijin won't model the wiggle barrels

Which effects the accuracy a lot

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch

US mains complaining about spaa
Also US mains. Now they get 2x top tier spaa

While everyone else gets 1

[sullen latch]

My biggest issue with US SPAA. Is that it sucks up until you get the M163 and shit 😭

Everything before 8.0 is pretty bad

[robust shale]

M163 kinda sucks still

the XM stuff is broken as fuck

they can OP anything cause Gaijin won't fix it

like as a Leopard 2 with the cheese wedge

I died when it hits my barrel

[cosmic dragon]

Dev server

[cosmic dragon]

Hold W and not let go apparently

[sullen latch]

Wait

We are getting the M10 Booker???

Wtf

[cosmic dragon]

Yep

[robust shale]

yup

[sullen latch]

Wildddd

[robust shale]

we are also getting Taiwan Abrams

Gaijin is just gonna keep sucking certain communities for the money

[sullen latch]

Oh yes another Abrams variant

My favorite lmao

[cosmic dragon]

I changed the kill message lmao

[robust shale]

the chinesium gonna be happy thi stime cause they get to use a propaganda machine but god forbid the VT4 an EXPORT TANK is NOT in their tech tree

[cosmic dragon]

I SHOT DOWN A DRONE

[midnight ermine]

not bad

[sullen latch]

isnt the NASAMS a step under the Patriots?

[robust shale]

patriots don't exist yet

[sullen latch]

ohhh hmmm

[robust shale]

the patriots are a significantly larger setup

[sullen latch]

whats after NASAMS timeline wise?

[robust shale]

that's just one of many

[sullen latch]

trying to think of where the US SPAA line goes from there lol

[robust shale]

Given the CLAWS(Hummer ones) is set as 12.3

the NASAMS will be odd

also cause the US version will use Hummers

while the Sweds get Gaijin Wagon

[sullen latch]

🤣

i did notice that haha

[robust shale]

er or was the US with Jeeps

idk

[sullen latch]

uhhhh i believe it was Humvees?

[robust shale]

in theory if the patriots are added it would sit at least 12.7 or later

cause it's that strong in terms of anti air

the NASAMS I think sit foldered with the CLAWS or placed after it

[sullen latch]

well yeah lol. its the current SPAA we use

have we seen them on dev build yet where its placed?

[robust shale]

not sure

I don't paly dev server

[sullen latch]

i mean same 😂

[robust shale]

oh

it's 12.7

it sits AFTER the CLAWS

huh

[sullen latch]

so then Patriot would be 13.0+ eventually

[sullen latch]

why would that be a 10.7??????

[robust shale]

it's a fat fuck of a light tank

42 ton

[sullen latch]

but isnt it more modern than whats at that BR already?

[cosmic dragon]

Lmao

[sullen latch]

actually. what even is at that BR on LT tree

[robust shale]

Not really?

I mean

the Concept 3 sits in 4.0 area

that thing is from the late 60s and 70s

[sullen latch]

Gaijins tech trees are fucking stupid sometimes 😂

[robust shale]

M44 also sits at 4.0

which was 50s/60s

[sullen latch]

like i said 🤣 gaijin tech trees are stupid

lets throw 50/60s tech in with fucking WW2 tanks

EARLY WW2 tanks at that iirc

[robust shale]

10.7 for US tree is the

Brads(10.0)
120S(10.3)
M1 ABRAMS(10.7) - 105mm
LAV-AD(10.0)
M1128 Stryker(10.3)

that's the rough 10.7 line up for tech tree

for the US

[sullen latch]

oh eh i see why they put it there then

[robust shale]

Stingray is 9.3

[sullen latch]

we really dont have a lot in that area

[robust shale]

when facing off lets say Germany

[sullen latch]

plus that first Abrams throws you up in 11.7 anyway

if not higher

[robust shale]

you'd be facing

Bagel(9.7)
TAM 2C(10.3)
Radkapmf(10.0)
Leopard 2K(10.0)
Leopard 2A4 variants(10.7)

[sullen latch]

yeahhhh i see why we have M10 Booker down that way now

god

US tree gets shafted HARD right before 11.0+

[robust shale]

pretty much the US will always face off against the Leo 2A4

[sullen latch]

UGH

[robust shale]

pretty much 0 chance for the US to never face off against a 2A4

from any nation

Germany, France, Italy, Swed tech tree all have it

[sullen latch]

i hate that

[robust shale]

technically Japan too

[sullen latch]

god the US tree that high up sucks 😭

why did i decide US was a fun first tree?

[robust shale]

cause the Type 90 is BASICALLY a Leopard 2 but auto load

I went german cause reasons

[sullen latch]

im regretting my decision 😂

[sullen latch]

so its in between the M3A3 Bradley and the HSTV-L on the tree essentially. good we kinda need more tanks lmfao

[robust shale]

yup

[sullen latch]

considering you go from 10.0 to fuckin 12.0 😂

[robust shale]

there's no stop gap with the HSTVL

it's stupid

[sullen latch]

i mean its the same between the 120S and the M1A1 HC

its kinda whack

[robust shale]

eh

at that point it's more so you already have the other abrams

the A1 and IP

by then you should've got those first

then the HC

[sullen latch]

trueeee

im also surprised the M1A2 Sep V2 doesnt have a bulldozer blade on it lmfao

[robust shale]

it's not like Germany

where we go

Leo 2A4 5 6 7

that's it

we have 0 diversity

[sullen latch]

Leo, Leo Leo, Leo... and Leo

if it aint broke, dont fix it

[robust shale]

literally

we got Leo Leo Leo Leo Leo

[sullen latch]

Germany learned from WW2 clearly haha

instead of producing dozens of different tanks. just mass produce one and improve it 😂

[robust shale]

I mean

in theory we should see a Leopard 2A8 soon

and possibly the Panther II

[sullen latch]

most likely yeah

but even still, the Leopard has been around since Leo 1 back in what. the 60s?

or whatever it was

[robust shale]

79

Leo 2 was 79

Leo 1 was 65

[sullen latch]

so yeeee lol the 60s for the first Leo 😂

[robust shale]

funny enough the Leo 1 was designed in the 50s

which isn't that long since WW2 Nazi Germany passed

[sullen latch]

crazy haha

[robust shale]

they were quick coming back

[sullen latch]

oh for sure

guess its time i keep grinding my 8.0 US tanks 😭

[robust shale]

I've got nothing left to grind for

until Germany get something

maybe it's about time I actually play USA

but I hate the Shermans

[sullen latch]

do Britain then

[robust shale]

even worse

that's Solid shot and shitty sabot

[sullen latch]

i know 🤣

its why i stopped at the Cromwell pretty much

[robust shale]

I'll just stick to Germany

[ivory moss]

Finally messed around with my keybinds for the bmp 3 and holy is it a livesaver

Before it fired both the autocannon and cannon at the same time, now i can control each

[cosmic dragon]

I did that with the Maus

Left click is the main 128mm cannon and I think I bound one of the side buttons on the 75mm cannon

[robust shale]

At least u don't use the m50 where its 6 barrels at once

[sullen latch]

Im glad i never used it 😂

Fuck that tank lmao

And the M56 lol

[midnight ermine]

I have

It’s pretty meh

I shoot 1 round at a time

[cosmic dragon]

I just got a kill credit for a heli I didn't even shoot at once

[midnight ermine]

dang

feels bad

[ivory moss]

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSPk9B9e4/

Lmao what. Fpv drones

[sullen latch]

Yep lol

[cosmic dragon]

RCSM is being updated

[cosmic dragon]

You absolute buffoon. He turned so his front was right in line with my gun

also patton turned aa for a second

Crew 3 maxed out

And somehow I got a non-pen on the front of a T-72A???

M48 Super Patton spaded

And upgraded Gepard acquired

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine I did a thing last night ^

[midnight ermine]

Nice!

I been slacking on tanks

And been doing planes now

[cosmic dragon]

I'm slowly working my way down the tank tree

I'm trying to get tanks I haven't researched fully done first

Starting with the Bagel

[midnight ermine]

Bagel is fun

[cosmic dragon]

I'll get the Maus when I feel like doing a WW2 thing again

[cosmic dragon]

I was trying it in the dev server and it's pretty nuts

[midnight ermine]

my german tree is coming nicely along

[cosmic dragon]

Can kill in like 5 shots

[cosmic dragon]

I'm just about 10.0. On 9.7 right now

[cosmic dragon]

https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2025/u-s-army-confirms-first-delivery-of-m1e3-abrams-tank-prototype-by-general-dynamics

The Abrams finally gets a new variant

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss any idea how an APFSDS round shot from a T-72M1 non pens the front of a T-72A?

THEY'RE THE SAME TANK

Did stalinium exist for me for a second?

I have evidence

And there's me using the armour protection thing to figure out why I didn't kill

[ivory moss]

You cant pen the t72 with a t72 from the ufp

Especially usng apfsds

Has terrible pen at 60 degrees

[cosmic dragon]

Every kill I've had on one I've been able to

[ivory moss]

Must be at an angle

[cosmic dragon]

Nope. Head on

[ivory moss]

Damn

[cosmic dragon]

I do use the 3BM22 round, the one with 425mm pen at 100m

[ivory moss]

Yeah i dont know you just got reverse staliniumed

[ivory moss]

Look at the pen at 60 degrees

Its like 198 or something

[cosmic dragon]

193mm

[cosmic dragon]

I've also used this on the M48 Super against the T-72, all variants

[robust shale]

@ivory moss

[ivory moss]

Lol

[cosmic dragon]

New update tomorrow

[midnight ermine]

not a bad match

[cosmic dragon]

https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/1806

THEY NERFED THE TAM ELEVATION SPEED

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine LMAO

R400 nerfed

max ammo reduced

well guess I'm not using it anymore

[midnight ermine]

Glad I stopped grinding it

Didn’t stress anymore after that

[midnight ermine]

not bad

[cosmic dragon]

I have less playtime than you but more sessions and a higher streak

[midnight ermine]

Only like 1800 hrs on it

I’d have more and more constant streaks

[midnight ermine]

But if you see in gaming channel you’ll see why there’s some gaps

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah

[robust shale]

Huh

3 different ammo types

TOW-2, 2A and 2B

[cosmic dragon]

The BMPT-72 is annoying.

[robust shale]

Ah SL gamble crates are back

[midnight ermine]

Let’s go

I’m gonna be poor and homeless again

[cosmic dragon]

I don't have enough SL lmao

[robust shale]

no no it's gonna be poor and already homeless

also @ivory moss top tier Abrams has received LWS/LR(laser warning)

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

[cosmic dragon]

This is why I already don't like the BMPT-72

IT'S HARD TO KILL

That and it's quick

Though I play Arcade and everything is so much faster

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch this is wild the Canadian government website on our equipment provide a 3d model of all our vehicles

holy christ

[midnight ermine]

ooo i like this

[robust shale]

it's all stock mind you

so the provided stuff isn't great either

[cosmic dragon]

It's pretty neat

Also should I go from Arcade to Realistic given the rank and BR I'm at?

[midnight ermine]

i usually only play realistic

arcade is fun but yk

[cosmic dragon]

Makes sense why I couldn't outrun the BMPT-72 in a super Patton (M48 Super)

Also is the armour on the BMPT-72 really broken?

[midnight ermine]

i think its supposed to be lol

ooo

[cosmic dragon]

I read like 500mm at some point

I googled it and it's only about 60mm on the front

Which means I think the APDS from the Gepard can punch through

Ah, that makes sense. I'm 9.7 which means I'm up against 10.3

And the Terminator is 10.3

I wonder how the T-72 does in realistic

[midnight ermine]

Which t-72

[cosmic dragon]

M1

East German version

[midnight ermine]

Ah not sure then

Haven’t used it

That be a hawk question

[cosmic dragon]

Any trees that you've played that has it? I think Sweden has one

[robust shale]

TLDR: T-72 can't pen T-72(especially the ERA plated ones)

UFP heavily angled

drivers hatch = best bet

T-72 best SABOT which is the heavier one the 3BM22 does better against angled

flat surfaces the 3BM15 does better
