The Thunder of War

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss I forgot that low tier is called the "fun" tier lol

But I'm liking Sweden so far

[hollow dawn]

i low key hate the lowest tiers

you basically just pepper each other until someone hits a pilot

the guns are so weak

[cosmic dragon]

I do ground arcade

[hollow dawn]

oh, excuse my air defaultism

[cosmic dragon]

It's the same kinda thing for ground tho. The Strv m/38 and strv m/31 have 35mm guns but have a 4s reload rate

I'm just peppering everyone with APDS (yes, they got APDS) until I get a kill, because the APHE is weaker than the solid shot for some reason

[midnight ermine]

Aha

Air and ground Sweden aren’t bad

[cosmic dragon]

I'm having fun with Sweden

[midnight ermine]

It’s a fun tech tree

[midnight ermine]

heres my progress for my tree so far

[cosmic dragon]

Ofc you have premiums lol

[midnight ermine]

whaa

nooo id neverrr

what premium?

[cosmic dragon]

Lol

Also the BT-42 is fun

Slow reload but insanely good HE thrower

[midnight ermine]

You wanna see a real HE thrower ?

[cosmic dragon]

sure

[cosmic dragon]

Oh, you mean baguette thrower?

[robust shale]

man

even with that many kills my team was filled with WW2 fucking tanks

[cosmic dragon]

Granted I just started

[ivory moss]

Get the t28 and strvm42

They rock for their br

[cosmic dragon]

Working on it

I'm trying to get everything in a tier before I move on to the next

[cosmic dragon]

That's another one spaded

[midnight ermine]

Telling ya that m4a1 and that spg was goated

Also you need to research that l-62 anti 2

You’re gonna love it!

[cosmic dragon]

I'm getting there. It's taking a bit though

[midnight ermine]

BRUH

I JUST GOT RAN OVER BY A SPAA

dude drove over me smh

[cosmic dragon]

How lol

[midnight ermine]

lol

[sullen latch]

Uh what? 😂

[midnight ermine]

i was driving that humvee spaa

and i got ran over by a russian spaa truck

and got killed

[sullen latch]

Oh 😂

Thats wild lmao

[robust shale]

at least it wasn't me in a PzH2000

MAUS sized artillery

[cosmic dragon]

I think I've ran over a Wiesel before lol

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine apparently if you shoot a tech tree terminators ammo rack for the 30mm grenade launcher it won't kill it

side on around 135m

it won't kill

the fuel tank + 30mm grenade ammo eats the shell

[cosmic dragon]

weird

[robust shale]

Also interesting fact you can change the fire rate on the T-72 Moderna for the auto cannon which is just a BMP gun(Terminator)

[robust shale]

man they changed the bagel panzer shells

it's no longer proxy

oh wait no

they just swapped my ammo selections wtf

Bagel still strong

[hollow dawn]

POV: rat

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-swankaids-run-over-spongebob-pizza-delivery-gif-1576484148654097044

[robust shale]

It's fun running over tiny rat vehicles

Also fun fact. If you go too fast in the Wiesel family of vehicles you will die if you suddenly stop

[midnight ermine]

Actual live pov of it too

[robust shale]

Deserved

[hollow dawn]

if you dive too hard in a hurricane, the wings will snap off

[robust shale]

That tends to happen to most planes no?

[hollow dawn]

only had it happen once

might be harder to do in arcade, idk about realistic

[robust shale]

Dunno

I don't play air

Only time I have a plane is in the nuke carrier

[hollow dawn]

usually it just gets less controllable and the speed caps off

[robust shale]

I just hate that the jag plane sucks

For the 9.3 - 10.0 nuke plane

It's such a piece of shit

And it gets 0 countermeasures

So I'm a sitting duck in the sky

[midnight ermine]

Time to fly tree height

[hollow dawn]

i literally bought it yesterday

[midnight ermine]

Jag plane?

[hollow dawn]

ye

https://wiki.warthunder.com/unit/jaguar_gr1

so far, it's actually been pretty good, but i don't have AAMs yet

or chaff

so, it's a bit of a nightmare to get uptiered

[robust shale]

yea those things suck balls

wel

the nuke carrier does

no countermeasures even

so like I'm just a giant target in the sky for missiles

cause at 9.0 above there are planes with AIM-9s

[hollow dawn]

you can unlock chaffs

[robust shale]

nope

[hollow dawn]

first tier unlock

[robust shale]

nuke carriers = stock

[hollow dawn]

oh

[robust shale]

the only nuke carriers with countermeasures is the 12.3 above planes

[hollow dawn]

my condolences

[robust shale]

which is the Tornado for Germany and others

F111 aardvark for USA

etc

the Russians idk what it uses

but pretty much the top tier nukes get countermeasures

[hollow dawn]

probablu SU7 or smth

[robust shale]

no that's lower tier I believe

thats used in the same territory as the Jags

yea the SU-7BKL is the 9.3 territory nuke carrier

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1kqz7ex/my_attempt_in_trying_to_fix_the_nuke_carriers_per/

that's peoples suggestions lmao

11.3 + is the SU-24, F-111 or Tornado

as of 2022

[robust shale]

@ivory moss

[ivory moss]

U the reason the gepard is so hated

[robust shale]

yes

how much ammo do I use

yes

[cosmic dragon]

Gepard goated

[ivory moss]

Doesnt matter anymore cuz of the ammo boxes

Infinite apds rounds

Well 40 at a time

[robust shale]

nope

actually

APDS does not resupply

once used even at a CAP it won't resupply

[ivory moss]

Damn whaa

Not that its the offending belt anyways

[robust shale]

Bagel:

the superior SPAA

[ivory moss]

That thing shreds but the readyrack never seems big enough

[cosmic dragon]

I've been trying to shred planes with the bagel

I don't have the HE-VT shells tho

[robust shale]

well that's the thing you shouldn't spam it a lot

it runs dry pretty fast

I conserve my shots as best I can

I use it more like a snipe rat

or in this case SPAA

[cosmic dragon]

How many HE shells should I take in the Bagel?

[robust shale]

beginning don't take HE

HE Proxy 50/50

[cosmic dragon]

I do 75 APCBC

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale see bmpt isnt hard to get rid of

[robust shale]

The BMPT-72 is easier than the BMPT

Less crew

[midnight ermine]

ah

[robust shale]

Less ammo on the side to eat a round

[midnight ermine]

i was just speeding around in my m1a1

[robust shale]

BMPT the T-90 chassis is more tanky

[midnight ermine]

not a bad match

[robust shale]

TLDR:

Premium = 3 total crew, no 30mm grenade launchers or ammo to eat rounds

Tech Tree = stronger overall crew as it has 5 + 30mm grenade launcher + ammo + fuel tanks

[midnight ermine]

hmm i see

ill research that next

[robust shale]

as you can see

the BMPT-72 doesn't even have fuel tanks

it's just straight through

the BMPT has a LOT of stuff it'll let you eat

[midnight ermine]

you max out german tanks? @robust shale

if so you gonna do helis next?

[robust shale]

nope

I ain't touching air or heli

[midnight ermine]

how come?

[robust shale]

i'm waiting for Korea next lol

[midnight ermine]

you dont even have to touch a heli to get rp into it

[robust shale]

I don't have the patience to play air

[midnight ermine]

also turns out this is how much i earned that match

now this is much better than 14k lol

[robust shale]

I mean

yea i could research the helis

but also I don't have any crew

for the heli

ehhh I guess passively I could

[midnight ermine]

i mean might as well

since you dont got tanks to put rp into

[robust shale]

I guess

it's probably a bad ratio

of RP to the Helis

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine okay maybe it's not that bad

[midnight ermine]

it also matters if you use premium tanks too

that helps boost it a lot

[robust shale]

i don't have premium at 9.3

all my premiums are top tier

and top tier means terminator territory

so nuh uh

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale not a bad round

[robust shale]

[ivory moss]

Bruh france just got another elc bis

Just more ratty

[robust shale]

it's so shit tho

it's got like 0 horizontal traverse

it's a case mate

2 crew

6.5s reload at best

[ivory moss]

Its basically a disabled tank in every way

[robust shale]

French L moment

[midnight ermine]

2s38 just farming me that rp

[cosmic dragon]

Love this meme for some reason

[sullen latch]

38.4k away from M103

[sullen latch]

29k

[robust shale]

That makes sense

Steam is taking up 100% of my GPU while War Thunder has 0

[cosmic dragon]

HOW AM I ALIVE

Holy RP

I caught my audio bugging out

VOLUME WARNING

@ivory moss @midnight ermine

I say again

VOLUME WARNING

[cosmic dragon]

I was locked tf IN

[ivory moss]

Pretty good team there

[cosmic dragon]

I like the T-28 lol

[cosmic dragon]

Considering it's low tier

[ivory moss]

Oh

Nvm lol

Low tier fun and easy tier

Usually…… no fun if theres a Ka-Chi

[cosmic dragon]

Think I might have come across one but I promptly removed it from existence

[sullen latch]

less than 20k from M103 finally lol

[midnight ermine]

Nice

I’m 100k away from my next tank

Should get it in a few matches

[sullen latch]

Im probably gonna grind out the T32E1 next tbh

Ik its probably not much of an improvement over the regular T32 but meh might as well lol

Oh. Eh its just the hull that was tweaked a bit on the E1.

Might just not even research it then. Move on to the M60s finally i think

[cosmic dragon]

M60 platform is good

[sullen latch]

Yeeeee

[cosmic dragon]

105mm gun, I think, decent power, early models had APDS and I think later ones got APFSDS

In other news, I'm having A LOT of fun with Sweden

[midnight ermine]

Sweden is great

[sullen latch]

Dont forget the ERA and such models as well

It also runs down straight to the first M1s iirc

[cosmic dragon]

Oh yeah, very well armoured overall. Makes me wish I'd progressed further into the American tree

[cosmic dragon]

Yes

[sullen latch]

Do it after Sweden lol

[cosmic dragon]

I will lol

[sullen latch]

Just know. Youll hate yourself once you get to 7.0 😂

bcz i sure do

tho i will say. HEATFS is a decent shell

The uptier is just PAIN

😭

[cosmic dragon]

I suffered German 7.0, how bad can American 7.0 be lol

[sullen latch]

Worse probably 😂

At least German 7.0 has some decent stuff no? 😂

[cosmic dragon]

M48A2 C, Leopard 1, Jagdtiger, stuff like that. Only decent two are the M48A2 C and the Leo 1 imo

Both get HEAT-FS tho

I'll show you my German 7.0

[idle aspen]

m1 abrams

[cosmic dragon]

I forgot the Tiger 2 was bumped to 7.0

I had that, the Leopard 1, and the M48A2 C as my lineup

[idle aspen]

is war thunder fun

[cosmic dragon]

Yesnt

[robust shale]

Decent gear. Shit teams. So pretty much just shit overall

[cosmic dragon]

Oh I've also suffered clueless American teammates and enemies

[cosmic dragon]

I just realized I'm missing a lot of aced tanks

[idle aspen]

im downloading it

[cosmic dragon]

Have fun

It's hell after a while lol

[sullen latch]

Jagdtiger is good tbh

[cosmic dragon]

I don't have it researched, nor do I want to remove my lineup just to do a 7.0 lineup again lol

[sullen latch]

Fair enough

Theres a reason its taken me forever on US tree

🤣

I research and use just about everything but SPAAs

[idle aspen]

r there any starter packs worth it or what

[cosmic dragon]

Only SPAA I use for Germany is the Gepard, specifically the 1A2 because of the SAM missiles

[cosmic dragon]

I went for the German starter pack

[robust shale]

They all suck early on

Until you get the xm246

M247 as well

[sullen latch]

True 😂💀

US SPAA was trash back in the day

[idle aspen]

anyone have any tips for starting the game

[robust shale]

Still is

[sullen latch]

But you gotta do 5 vehicles of each rank so some ranks you have to at least research/purchase it

[robust shale]

M247 and XM246 are the only saving grace in the tier it's at

[sullen latch]

Just wait until Patriot 😂

[robust shale]

247 being a buggy ass bofors cannon that can OP a Leopard 2

246 just being a gepard but with a more beefy chassis

[sullen latch]

I probably wont use the SPAAs

[robust shale]

Germany at least I have the Bagel

Which at 9.7 does a good job as SPAA

More consistent then the Gepard 1a2 at times

[cosmic dragon]

Bagel good

[midnight ermine]

Bad.

[midnight ermine]

Have you tried that spaa yet?

It’s sooo fun

[cosmic dragon]

Which one?

[midnight ermine]

Not for shooting down planes tho

I’ll send you a pic when I’m on

Just clocking out from work rn

[cosmic dragon]

Ping me, I'm watching a movie rn lol

[robust shale]

@sullen latch @midnight erminethe fire level 100 crew

of course it's also the first crew and first slot

[idle aspen]

wow plane is tough

yea i like tanks a lot better

[sullen latch]

Niceeee lol

[idle aspen]

the best tank ever the Ho-Ro

[ivory moss]

Bruh upgrade the damn crew

[robust shale]

never

none of my crew are upgraded

[ivory moss]

Its like having seasoned battle veterans with leather armor and a straw hat going to battle

[robust shale]

and yet I am top of the leaderboard

cause my teams are so shit

[ivory moss]

Bruh

[robust shale]

I'm top of the board going 8 and 1

just with the Bagel alone

[midnight ermine]

Do that on your higher lineup rq

[robust shale]

TERMINATOR PROBLEMS

that is hell

[midnight ermine]

Haha ik

[robust shale]

12.7 here I go

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale

i cant have fun no matter what rank i go

[robust shale]

oh ur on rn?

lol I just loaded into 12.7

[midnight ermine]

yea

its rough

[robust shale]

I'm against the soviets

this is worse

[midnight ermine]

welp i died again

[robust shale]

wait for me lol

[midnight ermine]

i swear i cant enjoy this game at all cuz just running into this shit

[robust shale]

this match is gonna finish quick fo rme

[midnight ermine]

smh

[robust shale]

already spawn camped

not even 3 min into match I'm spawn camped

this is pain

[midnight ermine]

Yea it’s rough

[idle aspen]

woah

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine you wanted to show me the swedish SPAA you're talking about?

[midnight ermine]

this one

[cosmic dragon]

Not yet

I'm getting there though

That's where I'm at

T-28 is great btw

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

fuck this game man

I shoot down the nuke carrier 10km away from the area

and it still is able to fly in and nuke the map

that's so bullshit

i'm using the IRIS-T as well

[midnight ermine]

yea thats nuts tbh

[robust shale]

well this will be my last 12.7 match I'm going back to my other BRs

this is dumb

also the missile counters are stupid

it doesn't actually count my missiles

[midnight ermine]

what br you hanging out at

[robust shale]

9.3 is still my go to for Germany

this is gonna take a while

cause i"m down to my SPAA in 12.7

so I'm just sitting here

waiting for air

[midnight ermine]

well darn

i dont really got a 9.3 lineup unlocked yet 🙁

i focused so much on air recently lol

[robust shale]

then I'll drag you through 9.3

to get a lineup

man

top tie rpeople are so stupid

tells me an IRIS truck to go get kills

tf you want me to do. I'm a TRUCK

I have no guns

I'm a glorified radar piece

[midnight ermine]

bro

this fucking thing just ricochet by round and my secondary gun

i dont get this damn spaa

[robust shale]

you set to offline?

[midnight ermine]

dont think so

[robust shale]

gaijin problems then

shows no one on

[midnight ermine]

here we go again

this is 2nd one this match

fucking hate this little shit

[robust shale]

rat vehicle

[idle aspen]

wtf is tgat thing

[cosmic dragon]

I tried to shoot one of these with the Gepard and I MISSED somehow

[idle aspen]

i have ez matches

i do nothing and win

[midnight ermine]

ill hop in call hawk

[cosmic dragon]

You're supposed to shoot the enemy

[idle aspen]

hawk?

[idle aspen]

well i mean can

i do shoot them and kill but yea

[idle aspen]

woah they blocked me thats crazy

[midnight ermine]

who blocked you?

[idle aspen]

person i replied to

hawk apparently

i just find it strange and really confused me and now i realise thats prob why they been ignoring me but this not the place to talk about it lol

[cosmic dragon]

Hawk has had me blocked for a while, it's nothing new to me lol

[idle aspen]

wild

[cosmic dragon]

He does reply to me sometimes when I have genuine questions about what ammo counts I should take

[idle aspen]

yea also playing this game a little

maybe i should try different control method

[robust shale]

patience is key

[robust shale]

damn

30 points off a nuke

[cosmic dragon]

Should I buy this?

(Note: my account is originally a PlayStation account, hence the PlayStation store screenshot. I'm not allowed the Gaijin store with console accounts)

[hollow dawn]

No

Stop spending money on the game

Embrace the grind

[sullen latch]

Literally this lol

Snail doesnt need anymore money from us

Here’s video/audio of testing at Aberdeen showing a T30 firing a missile

There appears to be 2 kinds of missiles in this video, one that appears to have a cone nose, similar to a apfsds shell, and the other being in a case, if that makes sense. Also based off of tank showed later on, the date could be late 40s, or the early 50s

If anyone has...

So wait. What exactly is this? 💀😂

Besides some russian video using War Thunder stuff

[sullen latch]

15k away from M103 🫡

[idle aspen]

how does research work in this game

[hollow dawn]

russian propaganda posters using war thunder imagery

[sullen latch]

💀

wild

[hollow dawn]

they've also done this with american ww2 photos where they've photoshopped in the soviet flag

[sullen latch]

bruhhhh 💀

[hollow dawn]

i think they did it with the iwo jima photo, which is especially egregious

[sullen latch]

yeah nahhhh i have a major issue with that 💀

thats insanity at the highest level

[hollow dawn]

they even had some with german soldiers on it

[idle aspen]

hmmm

i like the free plane i got

Nothing major for ground changes

More changes were done to air this time

[midnight ermine]

Nooo

[robust shale]

M3A3 Chadely got lower br

not in BR

[hollow dawn]

yes, but less grind for me to get it

[robust shale]

I guess.

also damn

the Super Hornet

it got bumped up

in BR and RANK

not that Germany has it

only the regular carrier based Hornets for German tech tree

weh

I don't even play Air

I only play ground still

[idle aspen]

i hated air and then i found a nice plane

[midnight ermine]

Not me getting the German one

Just to farm sl

[midnight ermine]

You saw how good air was

I may not have had my cas plane going

But oh man was it good for spotting

[idle aspen]

i mainly want to just fly a zero or like a spitfire

[robust shale]

yea but also i was just ratting it in the m48

manual range find with a map and just praying i hit a target

[midnight ermine]

That is true

But imagine I actually brought bombs and took out those sneaky tanks

Specially those French ones

[robust shale]

woulda saved me some ammo

@midnight ermine https://www.vxreddit.com/r/warthundermemes/s/0skfcYzuVa

[midnight ermine]

Haha

Yk what’s bad

I had considered picking up some event vehicles

[robust shale]

Apparently I finished the first task already rat

[midnight ermine]

lol

[robust shale]

So the 45k isn't that... Far

[midnight ermine]

Makes sense

I grinded that much with worse performance

[idle aspen]

hmmmm

[midnight ermine]

hmmm @robust shale which to start researching

[robust shale]

T-54 i'd say

more consistent of a tank

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale still seems like a good tank

[robust shale]

what?

[midnight ermine]

ah

[robust shale]

you cut out the tank

[midnight ermine]

the leo can

[robust shale]

dingus

[midnight ermine]

haha

whoops

just kept bullying the russian team lol

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine VC ?

[robust shale]

Spy around here

[sullen latch]

11k from M103

what should i research next?

[sullen latch]

8k :3

i survived an entire match in just my T32, even ran outta ammo 😂

[robust shale]

do you have acces to Rank 6

[sullen latch]

i do :P

i can start doing the M60s

i could do the A1s or the A2 M60, as well as 246 SPAA and M3 Bradley

[robust shale]

TUTEL

use it more

I'd start with the 246

it's like where US gets decent SPAA

[sullen latch]

Hmmm not a bad idea tbh

[sullen latch]

Tutel is PAIN tho 😭

So slow 🥲

[midnight ermine]

Time to get the m60 mbt

[sullen latch]

i was considering going down the T95/MBT Line because that first Abrams is at 10.0

[sullen latch]

1600

hot take: SPAA should not be able to pen a heavily armored MBT

M103 researched. Time for T95E1

[midnight ermine]

just get this

[cosmic dragon]

Unless it has APDS

[cosmic dragon]

How good is this

Also is that an autocannon, the 25mm one

[sullen latch]

Lol i have M1 KVT already

I have KVT and Click Bait

😂

[midnight ermine]

not sure its $150 tho

[midnight ermine]

i didnt get the kvt

but i do have the click bait

the normal one tho not the anime one

[midnight ermine]

maybe?

this thing eats light vehicles for breakfest for sure

[cosmic dragon]

It's what

[midnight ermine]

$150

as you can see lol

its a event vehicle

[cosmic dragon]

Bruh

Fuck that lol

[sullen latch]

I also have normal one. Dont much care for the anime ones

[sullen latch]

Its okay

For a 10.7 its basically just like the reg Abrams im sure

[sullen latch]

So does Tutel 😆

[cosmic dragon]

I've used the 20mm on the Leo 2K and KPz-70. Just eats light vehicles

[sullen latch]

Lmaooo i just found out the funniest thing about germany from WW2 😂💀

They really thought that the ME BF-109s were superior to the Supermarine Spitfires lmfao

-source: Greatest Events of WW2 in Color on Netflix

[cosmic dragon]

I think the 109s were better with the loops while fighting but Spitfires were faster

[sullen latch]

Some quick info of a comparison

[idle aspen]

interesting

spit fires are cool

[cosmic dragon]

I was wrong about the ME109

[idle aspen]

lol i have no clue what i should be doing

[midnight ermine]

Idk what’s up with today

Nothing but absolutely sweats

[robust shale]

it's the weekend

[midnight ermine]

I haven’t gotten a kill in 6 matches

I hit them and the bullet ricochets

Or I get sniped 15km across the map

I just keep getting the worst maps ever

And just get teammates with 1 tank and go up against 20 bmpts

Or I go down to a lower tier and just get constant up tiers

I had to get ice cream cuz I’m losing my shi rn

[robust shale]

what the fuck

@midnight ermine @sullen latch

[cosmic dragon]

Is

Is that a leopard 2 turret on an M60/M48 hull?

[sullen latch]

Cursed

[midnight ermine]

yall like my lineup?

[midnight ermine]

Was 150 points for a nuke

Feels bad

[sullen latch]

Not the 1.7 with the 7.7 and 8.0 😂💀

[midnight ermine]

after getting my 45k points

i just been doing air

and oh man the ariete smacks

[midnight ermine]

welp

i went to jets

and i havent gotten a kill in 7 matches

im gonna lose it

i either get sniped from 30km

or my steal gets stolen

or even better

my misile decides to just go hit the ground

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

VC?

[midnight ermine]

Sure

[sullen latch]

Theres a reason i aint doing air anymore 😂

[robust shale]

@midnight erminecursed

after pixel refresh

I don't see any black dots

[midnight ermine]

W pixel refresh

[cosmic dragon]

Lol

[cosmic dragon]

Those kills tho, damn

Fucking LOVE the T-28

[cosmic dragon]

Got an achievement out of it too

[idle aspen]

lol

i like japan

[sullen latch]

Pretty easy to get early on since most early tanks aint got shit for armor lol

[cosmic dragon]

T-28 for sure doesn't but it's got powerful APHE rounds

[sullen latch]

Precisely lol

[cosmic dragon]

[hollow dawn]

what the fuck does blueprints even do?

[robust shale]

Collect X amount and can build a tank or discount on tank I believe

Higher tier

[hollow dawn]

do they ever expire?

[robust shale]

No idea

I never got one before

[midnight ermine]

my teammate at 10.3

@robust shale

[robust shale]

Balanced

[hollow dawn]

you meet these kinda people in 9.0 air too

[midnight ermine]

like they barely touched the game and went straight to buying premiums

[hollow dawn]

usually using mig21s, av8 or swiss hunter, and only one vehicle in their roster

and they usually don't know what to do in a dogfight when they can't rely on their missiles anymore

note to self; figure out how radar works before the match

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale i was curious and checked this out

i thought it was 600mm of pen not almost 700

no wonder you said its a glass cannon

[midnight ermine]

finally a decent match

[robust shale]

armor wise it's just a typical T-64/T-80 chassis

cause @ an engagement distance of 3km. the Leopard 2A4M with KE-W can pen it

and I've done it before

so 3km is easy

even though both have LRF surprised it missed me

[cosmic dragon]

Leo 2K is the same

[midnight ermine]

whats the pen on the leo 2k

also just 5m sl again

wouldve gotten more but i had such cruddy matches this weekend

[cosmic dragon]

DM23 @ 100m is 407mm

[midnight ermine]

not bad

but 700mm is nuts

[cosmic dragon]

Armour is thin as hell

Spookston even said use the Leo 2K as a light tank more than a medium tank

The way I see it, the pros outweigh the cons, so use it

Good gun, good ammo, great forward and reverse speed

[midnight ermine]

Plus the Leo doesn’t cost $200

[robust shale]

sane as the reg Leo 2s

actually sucks tho

Leo 2K has no armor

no ammo protection like the 2A series

only benefit is it's fast and has an auto cannon like the rest of the prototype tanks of the era + main french tanks

[cosmic dragon]

True

[robust shale]

worth it

[midnight ermine]

first match of the day

[midnight ermine]

2nd match

so 2 matches and i gotten 12k points for the event

@robust shale seems like no sweats so far

[robust shale]

I'm hopping lol

second I join it's gonna have sweats bet

[midnight ermine]

kk

[cosmic dragon]

[robust shale]

bagel

[cosmic dragon]

That's a more fitting name

[cosmic dragon]

What

lag go brr

[robust shale]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1qnw0um/algerian_and_ukrainian_bmpt62/

@midnight ermine @sullen latch @ivory moss ah hell nah

we better not see this shit

T-62 chassis with a BMP-2 turret

[robust shale]

the hell is that blank one

[ivory moss]

Bruh ion want none of this crap

The terminator taking over top tier is bad enough

Leave 8.7-9.3 terminator free pls

[robust shale]

Terms are 11.3 so 9.3 below is safe

thank god

This being the armor rating of the BMPT is so BULL SHIT

[ivory moss]

Tf they mean 0mm

[robust shale]

also fun fact. a Terminator built on the Armata chassis might exist

supposedly

and supposedly to introduce 57mm auto cannons on it

which would basically mean

Terminator + Armata + 2S38

[ivory moss]

💀

[midnight ermine]

That’s premium time

[cosmic dragon]

I HATE SOLID SHOT

AND THE SWEDISH APHE AINT MUCH BETTER

And I hate this thing too

[ivory moss]

That thing sucks balls

So damn slow

[cosmic dragon]

I've used the APHE from the T-28 and the HE from the BT-42 to kill it

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Damn thing won't die

[ivory moss]

Oh u got up tiered

Yeah not suprised tbh

[cosmic dragon]

Actually I'm at that same BR

[ivory moss]

Use the HEAT on the bt42

Dang

[ivory moss]

Ohhh the lago

[cosmic dragon]

I just added those two to my lineup since I know they kill

[ivory moss]

Lago is ok tbh

Not good at the br tho

[cosmic dragon]

The 37mm gun is ass

[ivory moss]

Any cannon sub 50mm at that br is asscheeks

Get the m42 or something

The one with the 75mm

Strvm42

[cosmic dragon]

That's actually what I'm researching

[ivory moss]

Yeah trust me its great

Insane amount of tnt filler on the aphe shell

Like 237g or something

One shots everything

[cosmic dragon]

I was gonna say, post pen damage should be great

Bruh

It couldn't've given me that final bit?

@ivory moss

I also never buy premiums but I'm thinking about buying the premium KV-1 and Sherman III/IV for Sweden/Finland

These two

[sullen latch]

The Matildas are so friggin stupid in low tier i stg 😂

Those things literally are a PITA to kill

[cosmic dragon]

T-28 was like I was throwing pebbles at it

[sullen latch]

Just wait until you fight Churchills 😂

It gets WORSE

[cosmic dragon]

I'll be higher BR by then lol

[sullen latch]

Yes but Swede tanks i dont believe have any better ammo around those BRs 😂😂😂💀

[cosmic dragon]

What is the Churchill br?

[sullen latch]

Uhhhh depends on which one it is

I forget where they start

[cosmic dragon]

Also uhh

i flipped

[sullen latch]

Isnt the Churchill 1 like early on in British tree?

Like 3.0?

Or something stupid

[cosmic dragon]

I got a shot off on an M3A3 and it was a ricochet

Fucking hate solid shot

[cosmic dragon]

260g

[ivory moss]

Geez

Thats absurd lmao

[robust shale]

I mean. You can't pen it and it can't pen you sooo

Or it does pen and it's just shitty post pen damage

[cosmic dragon]

Do I need to carry smoke shells?

Or do I just need APHE and HE?

I tried to fight a Spitfire in a bomber but it backfired

[cosmic dragon]

Yes

[cosmic dragon]

@ivory moss that APHE is NUTS on the Strv m/42 EH

[cosmic dragon]

It just absolutely nukes tanks

[ivory moss]

Told ya

75mm is massive for 2.7

[midnight ermine]

Told ya you should’ve gotten the sav

That thing was pretty solid

[cosmic dragon]

I'm getting there

[midnight ermine]

Too late to get it

Limited time premium

Comes around once a year

[cosmic dragon]

Oh right

[midnight ermine]

Such a nice auto loading spg

Thing would eat up Enemy tanks like breakfast

[cosmic dragon]

You see the new tank I got tho?

[midnight ermine]

I did!

[cosmic dragon]

Thing is NUTS. I love it

I'm researching the T-34 now

[sullen latch]

T32 and M47 are pretty solid still lol

[robust shale]

the rat vehicle

[sullen latch]

which one

oh RIP thats an old screenshot 😭

the XM800T has been researched for a while

shit

[robust shale]

[cosmic dragon]

Lmao

[sullen latch]

RIP lmfao. idk where the new one went

[robust shale]

wait why'd it send that

[cosmic dragon]

There's a reason why I play windowed fullscreen

[robust shale]

There we go

radar but front

[cosmic dragon]

@sullen latch @midnight ermine @ivory moss this is where my Sweden tree is at right now

I will go back and research the Pvkv III and Sav m/43 (1946) later

And I'll research the L-62 ANTI II

[midnight ermine]

Yesss

Such a fun tank

[cosmic dragon]

I'm jumping to the T-34 because I wanted better APHE lol

[midnight ermine]

Sadly the br for some of those tanks are all over the place

So you can’t have a nice line up

[cosmic dragon]

Just how Sweden be I guess

[sullen latch]

the US isnt awful when it comes to that. except higher BRs

theres only like 3 8.0 tanks

its stupid

[cosmic dragon]

Germany made sense for the BR

[midnight ermine]

It is nice going from 5.7 to 8.0

And it’s a nice 8.0 lineup too

[cosmic dragon]

I took a quick look at that BR

[sullen latch]

i was the ONLY ONE on my team in this most recent match to get to Zone A and cap it

i literally won us the match 😂

anyways 111k away from M60A2

and then i can finally start saving to buy all 3 8.0s

[midnight ermine]

So like a few matches then?

[sullen latch]

uhhh maybe lmfao

depends on how the matches are

😂

only will need 480k silver lions to buy and crew the m60A2, no big deal

[cosmic dragon]

Less than that if he has premium

[midnight ermine]

No bad

I kept getting 100k sl matches yesterday

And some 30k rp as well

Was zooming through the Japanese,Swedish tech tree

[sullen latch]

dont you have premium? 🤨

[sullen latch]

dont have any rn

[cosmic dragon]

I do

[robust shale]

rat is the wallet warrior

[sullen latch]

thought so 😂

[cosmic dragon]

Me and rat are wallet warriors

[robust shale]

also speaking of @midnight ermine 12.7 BR for RB isn't filled with as many Terminators as expected

surprisingly

though it's mostly a shit load of T-80UD

but those are 10.3

and the T-80U-E1

[sullen latch]

imagine being a wallet warrior for War Thunder of all games

[cosmic dragon]

The snail needs sustenance

[sullen latch]

not from me it doesnt

[cosmic dragon]

Bruh you make more than I do lol

[sullen latch]

i bought 3 premium US vehicles. and the one i dont even use bcz i fucking hate the helicopter control scheme 😂

[sullen latch]

yeah and it all goes towards bills and my HOUSE

[midnight ermine]

Perhaps

[cosmic dragon]

We're wallet warriors lol

[midnight ermine]

Whaaa

I would neverrr

Also what do you buy?

[cosmic dragon]

Just premium time

Kinda want to buy some premium tanks

[robust shale]

but muh tank

[midnight ermine]

I got all of it

Besides ships

Still got a year of premium time rn

I don’t think I bought premium time just itself in about 2-3 yrs

[ivory moss]

Ayy nice

Defo reccomend getting the T34-85

[cosmic dragon]

Later lol

[midnight ermine]

not a bad first match

[cosmic dragon]

No nuke?

[midnight ermine]

sadly not

although i just got nuked

i actually have had the worst teammates today i have seen all month

its actually so dumb

[midnight ermine]

Welp left it at 28k earned

Got off the game cuz I have never ever gotten this many terrible teams in a row

And just happen to play against the sweatiest teams in every br I went to

I really do hate this game sometimes

[sullen latch]

Just sometimes?

😂

[cosmic dragon]

That's how 10.0 is for me lol

I can smell the sweat through my screen

[cosmic dragon]

I shot his barrel...

Real hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby moment there

[cosmic dragon]

Hell yeah

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss T-34 is epic

[ivory moss]

Its a classic

Highly mobile, decent armor, good cannon

[cosmic dragon]

The video I sent is a good show of that

I disabled the gun on the Sturer Emil and then finished him off

Nevermind that's a Dicker Max lmao

I am tired

[sullen latch]

85k from M60A2

[midnight ermine]

Nice

I’m 20k from the object 992

Or whatever it’s called

[sullen latch]

niceeee

im finally out of golden eagles 😂

[midnight ermine]

What you buy

[sullen latch]

more premium lol

[midnight ermine]

Premium time?

[sullen latch]

yarrrrr

[midnight ermine]

Nice

180 days for $20 is a deal

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine I got the T-34

[midnight ermine]

Niceee

[cosmic dragon]

Me like

[cosmic dragon]

Just got this

[ivory moss]

Also decent

Good gun

[cosmic dragon]

I know. I've used it before lol

At least one of its variants

I started with Germany, remember?

Went to 10.0 for a bit. Got two snipes and one close range shot

[sullen latch]

Not much different from its German counterpart iirc

A lot of early Swede stuff is either captured, lend lease or some third thing 😂

So youre pretty much experiencing most of the early on tech trees of other nations

I believe same is with early China stuff

@midnight ermine @robust shale im beginning to really hate fighting high tier french tanks 💀

They piss me off so much 💀

[cosmic dragon]

This is Finnish, same with the T-34

[sullen latch]

Ahhh right right

[cosmic dragon]

They use tanks from the allies and axis powers

[sullen latch]

Forgot Swedes have the finnish stuff

[sullen latch]

Lend lease/captured pretty much

[cosmic dragon]

Basically

[sullen latch]

Finnish especially with the russian shit😂

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah

Why do you think I used the T-28 for so long? Lol

[sullen latch]

True 😂

I do really hate high tier french tanks tho 💀

[cosmic dragon]

And the Strv m/42 EH

[sullen latch]

Just wait

Youll eventually get to the CHEESE WEDGE

[cosmic dragon]

Strv 103

I'm like 2 ranks from it actually lol

[sullen latch]

Heh

That thing is so funny

Hard to kill tho 💀

[cosmic dragon]

That's why I like it lol

[sullen latch]

I was smacking one with HEATFS. And itd just eat it

Like bruh

[cosmic dragon]

Better hope you're not in games against me 😈

[sullen latch]

Oh trust me ill be in 8.0 by the time you get to it probably

And the M60s APDS will smack you around

Used that for all of 1 Assault mode battle. Pretty decent except the reverse speed 💀

[cosmic dragon]

Cheese has APDS too

And the tech tree one has the fence on the front that eats HEAT

[sullen latch]

Ah thats probs why

I cant wait to get the missile for the M551 tho 😂

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah, that is why

I figured that out the hard way too

[midnight ermine]

Ohoho 🥖 I wonder why

[sullen latch]

Various reasons 😂💀

[cosmic dragon]

Baguette thrower

[robust shale]

it's the french

[sullen latch]

Pretty much

[cosmic dragon]

Tbh the first three I wouldn't have been able to see the tank

[midnight ermine]

ngl

i been at day 198 for the past 3 days...

[sullen latch]

Jesus 🤣

[cosmic dragon]

Me when I get shot by a T-34 in my Panther:

https://youtu.be/saPcgf_GZYs?si=0qdzCtrAk9P6-a1K

[midnight ermine]

flying to spawn rn

got a triple in my su

not a bad match @robust shale

got my 45k done

its time

[robust shale]

I still need to get mine done

[midnight ermine]

Took me like an hour for 20k

[robust shale]

i'm 40k away

[sullen latch]

Oh i probs wont ever see you in a game 😂. Your higher up than i expected

[cosmic dragon]

He also plays realistic

[sullen latch]

Oh true lmao

[cosmic dragon]

We're the plebs lol

[sullen latch]

Hawk only does high tier RB im pretty sure

😂

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah

[sullen latch]

I like playing for fun lmao

RB gets stressful 😂😂
