The Thunder of War

[robust shale]

very spotty to face off against T-72 chassis as a T-72

[cosmic dragon]

If that's true, then how can I consistently pen, and kill with the 3BM22 on a flat surface?

[robust shale]

I'll actually answer for once. frontally? get fucked. drivers hatch only, angled? shoot for the tracks into the hull, side on? lower hull for ammo, behind it? through the engine to hull

[cosmic dragon]

I mean I've penned on the angled front too. It's a 50/50 if it's a kill, but most of the time it has been a kill, through the driver into the autoloader carousel

[robust shale]

the UFP is a low chance with 22, impossible with 15, otherwise just use HE on the turret

T-72 always bring some HE and HEAT

at most 2-3 shells of each

only enough ammo to fill carousel + chamber

[cosmic dragon]

Fair point. I bring 3 HE and 3 HEAT, plus 20 3BM22

I was told as long as it's under 30 rounds, you're good

[robust shale]

tank dependent. T-72 only bring 23 total rounds

never more

23 = carousel + chamber

[cosmic dragon]

Good to know

[robust shale]

correction 22 rounds as a whole it's 21 carousel + 1 chamber

chamber counts towards the ready rack

go figure

[cosmic dragon]

Because of course it does

[cosmic dragon]

Failed the mission but

[cosmic dragon]

I may be a dumbass. I was using 3BM22 and not 3BM15 on my GDR T-72M1

[robust shale]

always use 22

15 is worse

[cosmic dragon]

Then I'll use 22 as the primary and maybe use 15 as secondary. Though I thought the more pen something had, the better the round?

[cosmic dragon]

Merry Christmas from Gaijin, I guess lol

[robust shale]

never

that's not how it works especially for the russian sabot

3BM22 is better than 3BM15 as it has better angled performance and after pen effect

it's a heavier round

[cosmic dragon]

So 15 only pens better because it's lighter? That makes absolutely zero sense to me

[robust shale]

different composition

15 is a longer and lighter round allowing it to pen more overall but the 22 is a heavier round which produces more spall

the angled performance is what matters more

especially in upper tiers

it's sufficient enough that the 22 can frontally pen early abrams

[cosmic dragon]

Now that makes sense

[midnight ermine]

its time!

[robust shale]

shit team

was about 300 off a nuke

70 crates

@midnight ermine yoooooo

LOL

I actually got a vehicle out of it

[ivory moss]

https://youtu.be/rQg27uTa6q8?si=vXVcQvtjhfm6ReBG

[midnight ermine]

Nice!

I got a fw190 c

[sullen latch]

i almost have the first M60

i did already unlock the next rank of tanks i can research tho 😂

but gonna finish researching everything else first on US

3800 away from M60

[cosmic dragon]

I've been neglecting the German TDs I'm, so I may just go back and research those

[midnight ermine]

Sooo

I might’ve done sum

👀

ofc we lose !

i wouldve gotten so much rp too 🙁

[cosmic dragon]

What you do

[sullen latch]

i mightve bought the Swedish Leo1a5 😂

i had a 20% coupon

[midnight ermine]

so...

before ^

[cosmic dragon]

Oh no

[midnight ermine]

halp!

not like i got much yk

[cosmic dragon]

I wish I had the money to buy the big pack of GE

[midnight ermine]

its my 3rd time buying it now lol

im gonna pick up like another 2-3 packs next week too

but after that i should be chilling for like 4 month or sum

till i use the ge to buy more

[midnight ermine]

gotta love the rp

[sullen latch]

Can this be played on SteamDeck? I forget

[robust shale]

I think so?

[midnight ermine]

I believe so as well

[cosmic dragon]

Yes

[midnight ermine]

Gotta say

[cosmic dragon]

Somebody tell him yes and that I've tested it lol

[midnight ermine]

These prop planes are sooo fun

I gotta test out my low br German lineup soon too

[robust shale]

[midnight ermine]

i havent done air arcade in ages

i be getting like 40k rp in realistic

[robust shale]

queue times are so fucking cooked

thanks to the terminators

[midnight ermine]

nice

[cosmic dragon]

@celest glacier not sure if you knew about this

[robust shale]

hmm

@midnight ermine I just realized

the Strela-10M for Germany

it's both an IR lock and visual lock missile

[robust shale]

damn

I killed the nuke carrier just as the bomb left

rip

[robust shale]

also stupid how the loaned vehicles don't get parts even if you already own that vehicle

[midnight ermine]

Yes that’s pretty silly

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss devious clip/rat game

Camped here the entire match

5 kills 7 assists 0 deaths

One of the nasty shots

[cosmic dragon]

Didn't even aim the second one correctly lol

Also between DM33 and DM23, which one is better?

[robust shale]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DSdK9-QjL3X

Classic

[robust shale]

shit team

I actually had 8 kills

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine somehow survived

[midnight ermine]

LOL

what is taht!

[robust shale]

when the Russian Bias doesn't bias

@midnight ermine

so.... look where I am on the map

and look where the spawn is

all my kills was from that spot

[cosmic dragon]

oops

[hollow dawn]

how does my enemy explode before my shots even reach???

[cosmic dragon]

J'd out probably

[sullen latch]

another 10GB update for War Thunder today?

good lord

i stg its been update after update the last few days 😂

I got a low tier Naval battle before a 7.3 Ground battle?! Wtf

🤣

[sullen latch]

man the M47 Patton 2 can actually be a really good tank

first match of the day and i got 5 kills with it

[robust shale]

The Patton chassis is mid

Problem is the engine kinda being ass

And the huge fuck ass copula

[sullen latch]

trueeee

the gun is pretty decent tho

[cosmic dragon]

That's why I like the German ones. The M48A2 G A2 and the M48 Super. They have the cupola and gun from the Leopard 1

Plus the M48 Super is faster than the M48A2 G A2

[robust shale]

Depends on the model

And even then too bouncy

[sullen latch]

just the M47 Patton 2

the first one on US tree

i like the M46 tho

its the M26 chassis with better turret and gun >:)

[robust shale]

Or the Pershing

[sullen latch]

i actually really like the Pershings

[robust shale]

Is ok

Sucks ur "best" round is only heat

[sullen latch]

are the M60s worth it?

[robust shale]

A bit annoying the US didn't move to sabot then

[sullen latch]

or do i just grind out the rest of my tree with my 7.3s 🤣

[robust shale]

M60 gets you to the HC variant of the Abrams

Down the line you'll have to do it anyways

The later M60s aren't bad but they all suffer the same issues of shitty engine and lower hull being unchanged

Well except the TTS that one has some era playing

Same with the rise

Though in that BR bracket I've punched clean through the ERA with Soviet guns

Cause you'll see up to 10.0 battles with the TTS version

T-72 can cleanly punch through the ERA surprisingly

I've also had the T-72 just go straight through Abrams turrets so there's that.

Most US mains think the Abrams invincible yea noooo

[sullen latch]

yeee true

i mean i gotta do the entire US tree no matter which route i take

because of how many you have to have before moving on

😬

[robust shale]

Foldered you can skip the 2nd

And do that later

The left most part of the us tree which is light tanks

The hstvl path

It's good but not something I would really use

I prefer wheely boi

The Stryker

@sullen latch fun fact the Stryker chassis is just a LAV chassis a Canadian initial design. And by default those are amphibious

Just the Stryker platform omitted that functionality

[sullen latch]

i was probably just gonna research the LT line but not use them

really no point to use em

[sullen latch]

thats dumb

[robust shale]

Well same with us in Canada

Our LAVs scraped it too

[robust shale]

Save money

[hollow dawn]

Planes typically don’t explode when ejecting

They just lose control and eventually crash

[robust shale]

The only thing that detonates is the explosive bolts for the canopy

[cosmic dragon]

Maybe the hitbox was too big on it

[midnight ermine]

Y’all noticed war thunder has 4 event vehicles going at once?

and instead of the 35k points it’s 40k now…

[robust shale]

Bmp terminators bumped to 10.7

Which doesnt fix the underlying bullshit

[midnight ermine]

ofc i get sum bad

rank 2 sadly

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine all Russian MBTs got buffed

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

[midnight ermine]

Let’s goooo!

[cosmic dragon]

T-72M1 reload is .1 seconds faster lmao

[sullen latch]

Okay. Nope. I dont like War Thunder on steam deck

Id rather just keep that to my PC with M&K

[midnight ermine]

So

I have purchased about 25k ge worth of premium ge vehicles

Then I bought 3 packs on this sale

F-2a,a-10,mig 29 sniper

Now I’m sitting at 9k ge

I’m probs gonna use it to cover the days I missed for that mig event vehicle

I still need another 25k ge for the next ge event sale

Since there’s a few more ge vehicles I want to get

I gotta say I spent a lot on the snail recently lol

[cosmic dragon]

The snail has been well fed

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/7hgcGOdv2FQ?si=KIcsIzNGUJPs-Dkd

[midnight ermine]

Yes, yes they have haha

also just grinded 40k points in 3hrs

Wasn’t easy but wasn’t too bad

Kept playing between my f-18,MiG 23 ml, mig 29 sniper and f-2a

Grinded so much of Japan and Italy

[robust shale]

actual dogshit teams

[midnight ermine]

Wowe

That’s a lot

[midnight ermine]

you grinding the event btw?

[robust shale]

fuck no

[midnight ermine]

its only like

40k

every 2 days

[robust shale]

not worth

[midnight ermine]

10 times

[robust shale]

none of the vehicles are worth for m

[midnight ermine]

[robust shale]

man these BRs suck rn

10.7/10.0 = terminator area
9.7 = up tier to terminators
9.3 = downtier to Turm 3 hell
12.7 = top tier hell

there is literally no save BR rn to play that isn't filled with wallet warriors

[robust shale]

can they like not shoot at my optics.

[midnight ermine]

i feel that

hate having to fight wallet warriors

[robust shale]

bruh

you can fight them

[midnight ermine]

haha

[robust shale]

I suffer with German teammates

that are wallet warriors

[midnight ermine]

wym!

ohhh

[robust shale]

german teammates suck

no matter if its wallet or not

[midnight ermine]

thats why i been grinding my air trees out

for most of my countires

same with tank trees

im trying to get some decent lineups

like for russian i got some decent lineups

[robust shale]

I can't be assed to work on a new tech tree until we get Korea

[robust shale]

not bad

[robust shale]

nice

[midnight ermine]

just played 20 air matches

couldnt get past 1 kill

just had the most crappy fights ever

idk what my luck is tonight

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine the M48 Super ngl is actually pretty good

reverse acceleration speed is decent

oh god

@sullen latch A-10 but Tank

[midnight ermine]

Ooo

[cosmic dragon]

I said it was good lol

It's fast, has actually good reverse, and the same 105mm gun from the Leopard 1, so it gets APFSDS and HESH (or HEP for America) as well as HEAT-FS, and the turret traverse rate is pretty good, though that's probably because of the M48 platform.

[sullen latch]

Oh no

[robust shale]

AB vs RB is also very different

AB specs are buffed up a lot more

I only play RB so being good in AB is one thing

being good in RB is another

[cosmic dragon]

I really do need to play RB at some point, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea since I'm used to AB

[robust shale]

damn

first life I made 1900 SP

bitch someone shot me down in the nuke

but at least I got 1 good turret toss

[cosmic dragon]

Done that before

Multiple times against a KPz-70/MBT-70

[robust shale]

ok not bad

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine the yeet cannon prevails once again

baited multiple people with this thing

[midnight ermine]

Man I try to grind air rb

And it’s just awful

Instant uptiers against f14s

I haven’t gotten a kill in 6 matches

I have 0 energy to grind 40k points

Hands down the snail just hates seeing me get a win

[ivory moss]

Got to see some relics

[cosmic dragon]

M60/M48, FV431, M41 Walker Bulldog, idk, idk, IS2?, idk, some kind of MiG

[robust shale]

incorrect first 2

M47 PATTON. muzzle break. older model
M113. there's a little sign that literally says M113

M8 Greyhound is the 5th image

or a variant

russian tank is a T-34 as stated by the plaque

plane is a Mig 21 Fishbed

there's literally a plaque on each one with the names

[cosmic dragon]

Oh. Well I'm blind apparently

[robust shale]

also M113 = magnesium death box because the armor composition is partially made of magnesium

and those are a cookout

one little pen + spark = toaster

very fun

[ivory moss]

M48, M41, M113, SAM 2, M8 LAC, T34, Toyota hilux with autocannon, Mig 21

The pics make it hard to figure out

[robust shale]

I mean

the plaque is very legible

so.

I disagree

[robust shale]

T34 =/= T-34

This is not a T-34

this is a T34

[ivory moss]

Whateva lol

[robust shale]

the dash makes a big difference

[ivory moss]

You get the point

[robust shale]

Germans: T34
Checks corner

[ivory moss]

Oh wait. It was a recoilless cannon on the back of the hilux

[robust shale]

the hilux is a platform for any gun

[ivory moss]

Yup lol

[robust shale]

ngl I really wanna see the M48 with the GAU 8 in war thunder

that would be funny

[cosmic dragon]

Didn't the M48 have the same muzzle brake?

[ivory moss]

Quit giving them ideas lol

[robust shale]

it exists

as a prototype

I want it

[ivory moss]

Wtf

[robust shale]

General Dynamics made one

it was a real prototype

Patton hull + Gau8

[ivory moss]

Oh my

[robust shale]

never left the prototype and concept stage

probably got beat out by smaller cheaper SPAA

[robust shale]

if it was the 76 or 90mm maybe

[cosmic dragon]

90mm

Or at least whatever gun the German version has

I think the ones in the American tree are the same but I'm not entirely sure

[sullen latch]

thats genuinely insane

when in War Thunder?

[robust shale]

what if we grabbed a gun

and built around the gun

but Ground edition

boom

M48 GAU-8

[sullen latch]

gimme 😂

i want one in War Thunder

for science

[robust shale]

I'm starting to think 9.3 is still the BR i'm best at

I'm getting anywhere between 6-13 kills a game

[sullen latch]

i feel like thats where the best rando teammates usually are too tbh

[robust shale]

bruh

my teammates do less than 6 avg per 3-5 people

german lobbies that bad?

[sullen latch]

honestly? i wouldnt be shocked if thats the case

[robust shale]

german teammates always ass ngl

like I'm not great but like

fuck

[robust shale]

The hell is this

Waiot

@sullen latch @midnight ermine you can EARN the SL Crates???

since when were those a drop

[sullen latch]

Thats weird

[robust shale]

Object 279 jumpscare

[cosmic dragon]

I never figured out how to kill that

[ivory moss]

Big boom or buggy spaa

[cosmic dragon]

Speaking of the Obj. 279:

[robust shale]

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

oh boy

https://youtube.com/shorts/qpsuY8uW5TM?si=Gy_wS5z2L58L-nPg

[robust shale]

ow

Fucking hate these teams

useless fucks all of them

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine all Su-27 family planes are being buffed

Terminators are being nerfed

fuck the terminators thank god they got nerfed

[hollow dawn]

does anyone know how the squadron vehicles actually gain points towards unlock?

[midnight ermine]

You gotta play battle to get points towards your squadron

It makes a difference if you have a big squad or a Smhol squad as well

The more people in the squad the more points you earn towards it

It’s a shame we got so little people

[robust shale]

activity from some people is at 0

so.

that's also contributing to the fact we aren't getting much

[midnight ermine]

True

But i know when you part of a big squad i think its like max 20k rp or sum

[hollow dawn]

do we all work towards the same vehicle?

[midnight ermine]

No no

Just all the points every gets means everyone can get more

I’ll show more once I’m on so you can get the idea

I think points are given out every 3 days as well

[robust shale]

More people = larger pool of XP to work with.
Larger pool of XP = bigger cut of XP for the squad vehicle you are researching

a certain %

something like that

[ivory moss]

Saw some vintage migs and some MIL heli. Dunno which model tho

[cosmic dragon]

Google says Mi-8/Mi-7

[midnight ermine]

Ooo

Nice

I always get destroyed in my high tier mig

Although in my lower tiers one I get some solid matches

[robust shale]

8.3 germany sucks

turm 3 galore

[midnight ermine]

yk @robust shale i feel like there isnt much on sale

[robust shale]

good

too many wallet warriors

hate it

[midnight ermine]

Same

Like imagine paying the snail that much

I could never

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

like that would neverrr be me

never never never yk

[robust shale]

praise be to the snail

@midnight ermine this sits near you bet

[midnight ermine]

haha

How’d you know

[robust shale]

almost there

[midnight ermine]

Fortunately you can’t see my ge vehicles I bought

[robust shale]

sus

PzH2000 doing the work again

stupid little missile carrier

[midnight ermine]

haha

nice

gotta love spawning in and bamm

f14 hitting me form 50km away

[robust shale]

that's what happens with the IRIS trucks

[midnight ermine]

its silly

only happens when i use my 300-500 boosters

i swear

gonna have a nice lineup @robust shale

[robust shale]

[midnight ermine]

Was gonna get the tiger pack and brumbarr later

Gonna be fun bullying lower tier players

just got a few planes

[sullen latch]

Only a few

[midnight ermine]

Yea sadly I missed out on some

You should see my Russian tree

[sullen latch]

Idk if i want to 😂

You have like... hundreds of premiums good lord 😂

[midnight ermine]

just a few

see just a few

im missing a few for ground tho

[sullen latch]

A few for each major nation 😂

[midnight ermine]

nooo

just like usa.germany,russia

[sullen latch]

😂😂😂

Onlyyyy germany US and Russia haha

[midnight ermine]

then ofc i got some for sweden,italy,china,japan

[sullen latch]

Yeah. Yeah. There it is

[midnight ermine]

just the usual yk

[sullen latch]

Nothing worth getting from british tree tho lol

[midnight ermine]

yea i dont really touch the brits at all

im missing a few from my us air tree

same for ground

[cosmic dragon]

Bro is further than me in the German plane tree

[midnight ermine]

i grinded to like 9.0 ish lol

before getting premiums

[cosmic dragon]

I should keep playing WT lol

I've been grinding GTA Online the past few days

[cosmic dragon]

I was so tired last night I played two matches and got offline lol

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

SU-27 family nerfed

The buff got reverted

Lmao

[midnight ermine]

I saw a vid of that earlier smh

[robust shale]

L Russian mains

[midnight ermine]

Fr

[robust shale]

ow

[midnight ermine]

Oh wow

I bet no booster

[robust shale]

I don't have boosters

[midnight ermine]

What

How

[robust shale]

used them up already

I have 0 in inventory

literally

[midnight ermine]

Oh

Same

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

I just uh

juked out 3 ZSU SPAA

with my scout drone

fucking hilarious

so fixed on my drone

[midnight ermine]

Haha

That’s what he gets!

[robust shale]

well all that's left is the super low tier

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine tempting

[midnight ermine]

I already spent a lot this sale

Like $250

I was gonna do another $150

But ima just wait till next sale

[midnight ermine]

wouldve gotten more if i wasnt spawn camped by the enemy

[robust shale]

@ivory moss rip to you aussies. y'all got a new vehicle in game the CRV Block 2

and it sucks

Cause it's on the worst BR bracket atm. 10.7

Event Vehicle

[ivory moss]

Bruh

No fair lol

[sullen latch]

RIP lol

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/1Wer2M-7ohI?si=tuLEwjhzgXlZXiQ0

Terminators may see another nerf

If Gaijin ain't gonna be a lil bitch about their favorite Russian bias

[hollow dawn]

sometimes, i'm just the fucking GOAT

[cosmic dragon]

Double A-10?

[sullen latch]

Why

😂

[robust shale]

Yes

[sullen latch]

No lmao.

We dont need it 😂

[zealous hull]

+10000 wow

Good round

[hollow dawn]

i just unlocked the javeling, which is a 2 seater fighter

is there any benefit in training the secondary crew?

the one that would normally be gunners on bomberrs?

[robust shale]

not really for jets

given the 2nd seat is usually a WSO

if pilots dead well

ur already dead

[robust shale]

lmao even with me being 1st place my teammate 2nd place had the nuke

[hollow dawn]

ts happens surprisingly often

also, gotta flex when i can

[midnight ermine]

Brits?

[hollow dawn]

Wdym?

[cosmic dragon]

Oi

[midnight ermine]

You playing brits ?

[hollow dawn]

Ye

I hate myself apparently

Not a penny spent either, so you know I’ve spent some time in this hell

[midnight ermine]

Oh jeez

Atleast they’re fun early game

[hollow dawn]

Tempest and mosquito, my beloved

[sullen latch]

Gurd willingly plays British tree? 😭

why tho lol

[cosmic dragon]

Because Spitfires

[cosmic dragon]

Of course somebody has that

And that glitch still happens

I shot first but apparently the game said "nuh uh"

[robust shale]

Lmao Thailand doesn't like the Chinese VT-4 seems it's just a crap export tank

[hollow dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/hawker-tempest-ww2-plane-raf-gif-12503737598941147108

[zealous hull]

GOOD roun d

but still lost lol

[midnight ermine]

Nice

I been having a issue where I can go crazy but don’t make any sl

But make like 20-30k rp

Kinda boring tbh

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine 5th gen fighters coming to War Thunder quite soon it seems

apparently files and work has been underway in the Dev servers

for 5th gens

given we are seeing 4th and 4.5th gen fighers now it'll be interesting

[midnight ermine]

I seen

I’m nowhere near getting them tho haha

[robust shale]

ur just gonna

[midnight ermine]

Noooo

Whaaaat?!?

I would never

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

[robust shale]

totally

[midnight ermine]

I been grinding planes a lot

[robust shale]

you just gonna swipe you know it

[midnight ermine]

And I’m broke to go to the next tier of planes

[robust shale]

just a matter of time

[midnight ermine]

I am for Germany

Gonna get the tornado for base bombing

[robust shale]

well Germany won't really get shit for a while

the only tech trees that'll eventually get something special

will be USA, Russia, China, Japan

as those are the known users in the world for 5th gen fighters of sorts

USA having the F-22 and F-35
Russia wth the SU-57(shite)
China with the J-20
Japan using the F-35

Korea tech tree expect to see the KF-21 which is a 4th/4.5th gen fighter but will have a 5th gen variant when it enters Block II or III production

maybe

the EU nations may eventually see 5th gen once they actually make a 5th gen

but that's a long ways away

[zealous hull]

GREAT round

unlocked Alaska too :)

just need to get 255000 SL

plus train cost

;,)

[hollow dawn]

sometimes the war thunder gods are generous

[hollow dawn]

THE WAR THUNDER GODS SMILE UPON ME

[midnight ermine]

Wait

Is that arcade?!?

[hollow dawn]

ye

[cosmic dragon]

I was gonna say, I don't think Realistic has the lead indicator

[cosmic dragon]

Also what y'all think about this?

Skill issue or just getting Gaijined?

[hollow dawn]

the lead indicator is beyond useless

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah it doesn't help lol

Playing the Gepard, I've noticed I have to lead a little less than the lead indicator for the rounds to hit

I mean I have the Gepard 1A2 which has the FIM-92 Surface-to-air missile

[midnight ermine]

Indeed it does not

It’s a struggle to hit someone at times

[cosmic dragon]

Exactly why I don't play realistic lol

[midnight ermine]

The lead indicator does help

Just depends what vehicle you using and what rounds as well

[cosmic dragon]

Usually the Gepard

Been using the SAM missiles recently on that

My lineup consists of the T-71M1, East German one, the Leopard 2K, and Gepard 1A2

Trying to level up the Gepard but it's not going so well lol

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss volumetric just doing its wonders

[ivory moss]

Lmao

[zealous hull]

my little gepard in the wastelands

[ivory moss]

Why is blud researching the panzerjager

[robust shale]

oh

cause I have nothing left to research

literally got 0 tanks left in the higher tiers

all I have is Rank 1

[ivory moss]

Oh u done the whole german tech tree?

[robust shale]

yea

pretty much

[ivory moss]

Play low tier and spade

Trust itll be fun

[robust shale]

god on

I'm here vibing in 9.3

the perfect BR

no Terminator

maybe 2s38 but those are easy

9.3 is my jam

[ivory moss]

Nonono 2.3 is peak

[robust shale]

mf

but yea

that's another nuke to my name

was able to get it using the Gepard as the final SP cost

[ivory moss]

Noicee

[robust shale]

I almost fucked up lol

[ivory moss]

Bruh lol

[robust shale]

quite the explosive crash huh

[midnight ermine]

Let’s start with the maus

[robust shale]

already got it

ain't using that thing

I don't play in that territory anymore

[midnight ermine]

I get that

Still fun tho

I got so many different vehicles and sure I don’t play in that br usually

But when I do I got a solid fun lineup

[robust shale]

9.3 fully spaded

[midnight ermine]

wowe

thats a lot of high level crews

also wowe ofc we lose

[cosmic dragon]

I got the battle pass lol

I also got the battle pass vehicle already

[robust shale]

most of them are leveled up from hard work

[midnight ermine]

nice!

[midnight ermine]

not bad

same with mine

just spread across 6 nations tho lol

[cosmic dragon]

I also bought 21 backups out of the warbond shop lol

[midnight ermine]

i got a few

[cosmic dragon]

We traded

[cosmic dragon]

Rare SPAA doing its job

Hit a terminator directly in the side

Killed the gunner and FCS

[midnight ermine]

still lost these 2 as well

been using the sea hawk 100

[midnight ermine]

only 50k rp smh

[midnight ermine]

love bullying folks in this

[midnight ermine]

this bmpt terminator thing is nuts, i seen it tank so many rounds and even heli rockets

not bad

i needed to win 5 battles so i just went top tier russia ez pz

[cosmic dragon]

I hate it. It's hard to kill

[midnight ermine]

I noticed haha

That thing was destroying the enemy team

[cosmic dragon]

I wonder how good HEAT is at killing the BMPT and the BMPT-72

[midnight ermine]

Also @hollow dawn wyt of those matches

Sea hawk been treating me pretty well

[midnight ermine]

hands down the amount of rp i get is nuts

maybe im just getting lucky rn

[hollow dawn]

for some reason the german sea hawk is infinitely better than the british sea hawk

[midnight ermine]

I did hear about that

I wonder why that is

[hollow dawn]

it makes no sense, the stats are identical

i got so pissed off from getting shot down by those that i personally checked

[midnight ermine]

Haha

Yea it’s not a bad plane

Not the best but yk still pretty solid

[midnight ermine]

@zealous hull I really dont know how you play this lol

[shy forge]

is anyone good with computer here

[zealous hull]

I love it

Don’t show your broadside

Angle your armor but fire all guns

AIM FOR THEIR TURRETS

Aim slightly below and you can blow their magazine

And their engines too

and zig zig zag!

Sofun

[midnight ermine]

I just kept getting blown up

Like 10s into spawning in

[cosmic dragon]

This is a war thunder game chat. Use #hardware or #corsair-products if you need help

[zealous hull]

Low tier is absolutely chaotic

I love it

I just BOOM BOOM BOOM

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-broadside-gif-9725029159518863243

[midnight ermine]

i pulled out my italian torpedo boat

[zealous hull]

Oh you’re one of those “……”

I hate you <3

[midnight ermine]

its the only boat i have

plus it was quick to get match points

i needed 10k

and ofc after that i just get matches where im instantly spawn killed

cant even see the destroyer i just get insta killed smh

like i dont get it

i spawn in and im wayyy behind cover and im just getting shot through trees and what not

i cant even see the enemy smh

[zealous hull]

Use sniper mode

[midnight ermine]

that match i got 9k score only counted as 1k...

[zealous hull]

Press shift

[midnight ermine]

i hate it here

[midnight ermine]

yea still aint much help sadly

[zealous hull]

:/

[cosmic dragon]

Shift and right click

[midnight ermine]

not bad

not a bad payout either

[midnight ermine]

my team actually threw the match we had 0,001 left to win and the enemy dropped a nuke

[robust shale]

hm

[midnight ermine]

not bad

[midnight ermine]

rookie numbers

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine Bagel unlocked

I got 2 kills with it lol

[hollow dawn]

the uk version is for some reason a brick with wings

[midnight ermine]

Nice it’s a very fun tank haha

[midnight ermine]

almost done

wouldve been done if i had been researching the right vehicle since yesterday lol

@robust shale idk how you grinded these out

i only get like 10-20k per match

sometimes 8k its rough

also idk how my teammate with 1 tank pops off like this

[robust shale]

wdym?

it's called I no lifed the game for. a year

[midnight ermine]

No premium either ?

[cosmic dragon]

It is

I hated being killed by it but I love killing with it lol

[midnight ermine]

It’s super satisfying doing that haha ,although you are quite squishy

[cosmic dragon]

I've noticed

I mean look at this

[midnight ermine]

yup thats the one

in the brightsight tho its just the battery dying

atleast you tend to be able to defend yourself

[cosmic dragon]

Oh no my engine got deleted

[ivory moss]

Tf was that efv thinking lol

Those things are free kills istg

[cosmic dragon]

I have no idea

[cosmic dragon]

It's so squishy

You could probably .50 cal it

Bagel is fun tho

[ivory moss]

Its so tanky

Also obliterates planes with the hevt

[cosmic dragon]

Need to research that

I just got it last night

[midnight ermine]

lol

[cosmic dragon]

Tiger H1

[midnight ermine]

The body pillows lol

[midnight ermine]

Tigris

So a knockoff

[cosmic dragon]

Ah, Italian

[cosmic dragon]

I used to do that lol

[robust shale]

Maybe like a less than a quarter of the year I play I had premium

But majority of it was without premium

[midnight ermine]

Fair enough

Also as soon as I go play my 8.3 German lineup I get insta uptiered

[robust shale]

normal

for Germany the safer/safest lineup is like 9.3

that's the main lineup I play with

and it's very safe very balanced

[robust shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywOtYV36Zos

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch in the future for War thunder we might/should see an auto loaded Abrams

given the US is moving towards that and have existing versions already

[midnight ermine]

Nooo

We need more Russian stuff first

[robust shale]

we won't ever see the Abrams being as strong as it should be

it's crazy how Gaijin is like that

I mean like really even some Abrams models can be cleanly penned frontally by the T-72 at 9.3

[sullen latch]

No 😂

Better idea

Get rid of the entire Russian tech tree 😂

[midnight ermine]

Whaaa

Nooo

[sullen latch]

Yes

😂

Life would be better off without all 30+ T34 variants

[midnight ermine]

Nah I need all different variants

I need that bmpt

👀

[robust shale]

[midnight ermine]

A premium one too ofc

[ivory moss]

Nah nerf france first

Cuz france

[midnight ermine]

Valid

[cosmic dragon]

What we need is the Leopard 2, Abrams and T-series tanks but Ukraine versions

[ivory moss]

Nah nerf france

And add more cursed spaas

[midnight ermine]

did so much just for my team to lose

[midnight ermine]

Got on this morning to do a battle in my f-2 and I got instantly 3 Elims

Then 2nd match I’m sniped from spawn to spawn by a f-15 30s into the match

[cosmic dragon]

BMPTs moved to 11.7 again

[midnight ermine]

Nooo

[robust shale]

11.3 not .7

BR decompression is expected to arrive soon as well

It is unknown if the BMPT will be moved further when that occurs

But as of today they are now 11.3

So for now. 10.0 is a safe BR again

[hollow dawn]

now, bobby, i don't condone using backups, but when a mf uses 12 fucking lives, he needs to get taught a lesson

[robust shale]

simply has 10 crew

[hollow dawn]

nope, 6 vehicles in game

[midnight ermine]

I mean hey

If he’s able to get that many points to respawn good for him

I could’ve sworn arcade was limited to 3 no?

[hollow dawn]

You need backups to respawn, there's a max of 1 respawn per vehicle

[cosmic dragon]

Not arcade air

You can spawn as many times as you want in various vehicles

[midnight ermine]

Ah I see

I stopped playing air arcade once I got past tier 2 Germany

Since then just air realistic

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss Obj. 279 crossed with a Maus, Sturmtiger and a Calliope

[midnight ermine]

That’s cursed

[ivory moss]

Wtf

But now its weak af cuz of the maus turret

[cosmic dragon]

I forget how weak the Maus turret actually is lol. I Don't have it completely researched and it's been a while since I've been in that BR range

[ivory moss]

I have like 200rp on the maus just to keep it but never use it

[cosmic dragon]

I have about 5000

I'll probably go back to the 7.0/8.0 lineup to finish researching it after I've finished the German tree

I still need to get the rest of the TDs

[cosmic dragon]

I'm also still unsure what tree I want to focus next

Do I do China, Russia, the US, UK, or someone else?

[ivory moss]

France or sweden tbh

They got some really crazy vehicles

UK i guarantee you will quit. Its just crappy apds and solid shot until 9.0

And slow ass tanks

[robust shale]

Bri'ish

typical L

[ivory moss]

Just wait till you get to 6.7 lol

[robust shale]

Now we wait for the Korean unified tech tree

Cause that's most likely my personal next tree

[ivory moss]

Thatll be fun

[robust shale]

and the gepard is being the gepard again

[cosmic dragon]

Sounds like me with mine lol

Though I use the 1A2 with the Stinger missiles

Repost but it's the rare Gepard doing its job

[robust shale]

oops

[robust shale]

@hollow dawn @midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch so I might be 3d printing something

[ivory moss]

Hmm what is that

[cosmic dragon]

Golden chest?

[ivory moss]

Does the 3d print also give only universal backups as well

[hollow dawn]

Ready to get 3x 50% SL boosters?

[robust shale]

more like 10%

[hollow dawn]

Do those even come in the gold crates?

[robust shale]

Dunno lol

Knowing my luck it could

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

[midnight ermine]

lol

Imagine going up against a team of just those

[midnight ermine]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fh4Yav/

Oooo it’s back

[cosmic dragon]

M1E3

[cosmic dragon]

For those who don't wanna click the link

[midnight ermine]

Yes that

[cosmic dragon]

Now that's a lot of kills

3 and a half minute long clip BUT it's the 7 kills I got back to back

Had to drop the quality to 1080p to not break the file upload limit lol

@ivory moss @midnight ermine I think I'm doing better

[ivory moss]

Pretty good

[hollow dawn]

why does this look like a minecraft mod?

[robust shale]

Cause shitty thermals probably

[cosmic dragon]

You really think so?

[ivory moss]

Yeah

Just try not to die 3 times. Last till the end of the match

[cosmic dragon]

I was really trying to stay alive

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/dtQmhSqSILk?si=gdu_sj5uTNCB-lOJ

Ah hell no

[sullen latch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnd9fcgEuaw

no more turbine engine with M1E3

Diesel engines are BACK

in fact they have gone with a CATERPILLAR Diesel Engine

lots of good info in this

its keeping the 120 btw

[robust shale]

Yup

[sullen latch]

gonna miss that Turbine Engine but i see why they are moving away from it

too expensive to run

😂 it has cupholders

[robust shale]

At least

It isn't the challenger

Where it has water boiler

[sullen latch]

i mean it has 110V outlets in it

soooo in theory you could have a coffee pot

[robust shale]

Monster mini fridge

You know the gremlins gonna have a mini fridge with monster

[midnight ermine]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fASBLN/

45k points is nuts

[cosmic dragon]

Sir, that is called the BV (Boiling Vessel)

[robust shale]

POV: Gaijin releases a sale for a tank

the spookston video

[midnight ermine]

lol

The xm1 is back again

[robust shale]

nay?

oh GE purchase

wait

the XM1 wasn't a GE vehicle back then

was it

I swear it was a $$$ vehicle

yea it was

[midnight ermine]

It’s like $30 now

lol

I never bought it

[robust shale]

yea but you buy with GE and get nothing else

I bought the pack at 50% off

so I got the GE, Premium etc

[midnight ermine]

Ah that’s not bad

[robust shale]

cause it cost 6111 GE now for the sale

so for $40?

it's cheaper

cause for me. 5000 GE cost 40 bucks

[midnight ermine]

Hmm

But is it even a fun vehicle

[robust shale]

it's ok

not horrible

haven't used it in a hot minute

[cosmic dragon]

I'm having a blast with the Leopard 2K

Prototype Leopard 2 iirc

[sullen latch]

Wasnt it a preorder $ vehicle?

[robust shale]

No just a regular pack vehicle

[sullen latch]

I swear it was preorder too at one point lmao

Cant even get that one anymore

[robust shale]

you sure you not thinking of the Chrysler one for Xbox only

[sullen latch]

Ohhh maybe it was that one

Forgot there were 2 XM1s

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss @midnight ermine @sullen latch I think I've decided my next nation to research

Sweden

[ivory moss]

Good choice

Low tier struggles a bit but after 6.7 its fine

[cosmic dragon]

I wanna see how the Strv 103 is

I know they have a lot of Centurions too

Huh, apparently JFK showed interest in the Strv 103. In an alternate reality, we could've been using the 103 in Vietnam

[cosmic dragon]

Also funny moment from Spookston's new video

[midnight ermine]

that tank is fireeeee

such a easy grinder tbh

[cosmic dragon]

Is it a premium?

[midnight ermine]

yes

limited time premium

its a 3.7 auto loading spg

[cosmic dragon]

Like 1.5 second reload from what I counted

[cosmic dragon]

When is the end day?

[robust shale]

ran arcade for one match

[zealous hull]

insane amount of RP hehe

[robust shale]

wtf is with the Radkampfwagen layout

why is that random ass ammo on top

why is it not flat like the Leo 1s and 2K

[cosmic dragon]

What

[ivory moss]

I think they might be german

[cosmic dragon]

I know

I translated it and it makes no sense

[midnight ermine]

idk how i got so little rp

[robust shale]

ran out of ammo lmao

[cosmic dragon]

I have never seen this map in my life

I'm sorry, HOW did that ricochet?

[midnight ermine]

It’s terrible

[cosmic dragon]

Pradesh is bad too

[cosmic dragon]

I can't even crest a goddamned hill without getting immediately deleted

[cosmic dragon]

I gave up and I'm playing Sweden now

[cosmic dragon]

Lol

[hollow dawn]

same round btw
