The Thunder of War

[robust shale]

just kaboom

[midnight ermine]

i just keep getting spawn camped as well

makes the matches no fun when theyre over in 2m

bro

i just get rammed out of cover by my teammate and i get destroyed

yea thats enough wt for today

[robust shale]

lmao

[midnight ermine]

i play 9.3

get uptiered to 10.3 every match

[robust shale]

that's normal

[midnight ermine]

every single match

same with 8.3

i be going at 9.3

[cosmic dragon]

Same

I'm at 10.0 and I got up tiered to an 11.0 last night

[midnight ermine]

Like I don’t get how I’m uptiered and going against some the of the sweatiest players

But I get level 10 teammates

ATP I may as well go back to playing Russia

Atleast then I’d win

[cosmic dragon]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUorynaEi1P/

I'd say that's hull down lol

[cosmic dragon]

I mean Germany isn't much better lol

Can't kill for shit

[midnight ermine]

dude

all i die to is this or level 100 max level chinese dudes with 500000 nukes dropped

like i get put up against these premiums which they just w key and 1 tap me

but my tank hits them and they just laugh it off

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine look at this. Sabot petal just bounced off the enemy tank and my actual dart apparently did nothing

[midnight ermine]

i finally got 5 kills

then i died cuz to 2 bmpts jumped me

and now we getting spawn camped by the whole enemy

even their spaa is getting in on the action

[robust shale]

[midnight ermine]

like what is this lineup

[cosmic dragon]

The arena is dumb

[robust shale]

I'm playing 9.3

it went full up tier lol

[cosmic dragon]

It's fast but it's dumb

[midnight ermine]

my 9.3 is just going against strikers and stingrays

[cosmic dragon]

I one shot Strykers

[robust shale]

man wish the Pzh2000 had better optics

cool full down tier as 9.3

yay

[robust shale]

@ivory moss I had the wrong ammo loading so I just said fuck it we ball

[ivory moss]

If it works it works ig

[robust shale]

huge ahh copula

my team was so ass

I had the most kills out of the entire match at 11 kills

[cosmic dragon]

I know that map

That's my rat spot too

[robust shale]

welp the entire German Ground tree has been unlocked

all this XP going to waste

[midnight ermine]

Time to start a new tree

[sullen latch]

US 😆

[robust shale]

I'm already at 4.0-6.0

I should really work on the US tree

But I fucking hate the Sherman's

[sullen latch]

Oh Hawk i know 😭

Shermans are roughhhhhh

[robust shale]

And playing with the xm1 only kinda sucks

[robust shale]

I'm waiting on the Korean tech tree still

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/hrmMWJPDZ0E?si=KVU9X2FC0LHtQlNI

[cosmic dragon]

How does that make sense lol

3rd with 9 kills

Huh? That didn't even fuse correctly

[midnight ermine]

You see the alpha jet a coming to Germany ? @robust shale

[robust shale]

Yea. That piece of shit

It's a flying brick that thing

[midnight ermine]

Haha

It’s premium

[robust shale]

It would complement whatever BR it's at

But I don't like it

[midnight ermine]

It’s 9.0

[robust shale]

That'd be ok for 9.3

[midnight ermine]

Yup

Finally some cas

Ig we’ll see how it performs

[robust shale]

Germany already has the alpha jet a

So. It'd just be the same

[midnight ermine]

But premium

[robust shale]

I mean for me to grind air it'd help maybe

[midnight ermine]

I’m gonna get the tornado for that

[robust shale]

It's only 10.0 so

[midnight ermine]

Ik

It’s good for sl

[robust shale]

Not super high tier

[midnight ermine]

Plus I just want to base bomb

[robust shale]

F-18C is only 12.3

[midnight ermine]

Yea

The f-18s are okay

You still just fight f14s

[robust shale]

I want to buy a premium jet so I can actually have CAS

But then I also suck with planes

So it'll take me a while

[midnight ermine]

LOL HAWK

I JUST KILLED A BMPT-72 WITH A SPAA

Took it out with this

[robust shale]

the BMPT is more killable now

if you are able to hit the missiles it CAN ammo rack it now

APPARENTLY

but it hasn't been the most consistent

[midnight ermine]

i can play for like 1:30hrs

then i gotta sleep since i got work at 4

[robust shale]

rip

get in squad

won't be able to VC

@midnight ermine BR?

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine that server replay of the nuke match

[cosmic dragon]

Is it just me that thinks Chinese tanks are nearly impossible to kill?

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale i hate it here

[robust shale]

[cosmic dragon]

Coelian lmao

[robust shale]

@sullen latch @midnight ermine @ivory moss Russian Bias Anti Air

[midnight ermine]

Let’s goo

[ivory moss]

Dammnn

[robust shale]

albeit the missiles are less range and speed

basically think of the TKB-1055 as Stingers from the Gepard, Lav, Ozelot

you just get a metric fuck ton

[cosmic dragon]

https://youtu.be/7LWj5dmwghA?si=Vktu1-YsJkGes4PY

TAM my beloved

[cosmic dragon]

Gaijin logic: 10.3 BR SOMEHOW means 11.0 up tier WITH TERMINATORS

@ivory moss @midnight ermine how tf do I even defeat a Terminator?

Either one of them

BMPT-72 or the BMPT

[ivory moss]

Idk somehow barrel it

Track it

Then run away lol

[robust shale]

https://youtu.be/XbmXaWUm0FI?si=PgOXPi7c5mG_ver6

Very good

[midnight ermine]

?

I’ll watch it later

What’s the tldr

[robust shale]

Basically better qol for the different levels and expert and Ace representation

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch rip couldn't get the nuke

[ivory moss]

Rip

[sullen latch]

Not people telling Gaijin to add F22 😂

Like no

Plz dont actually add F22

Theres still dozens of things about it that are classified. We dont need it leaked on a game forum

[hollow dawn]

i just don't want it added for balancing reasons

thrust vectoring and stealth

your shit won't lock and you will get shot down in a dogfight

[sullen latch]

Theres also that yes lol

F22 is incredibly OP IRL 💀

If Gaijin does add it. Itll be nerfed into oblivion worse than the US M18 GMC 😭

[hollow dawn]

i sometimes get lobbied with f117s, which are pretty useless, especially when you consider that the people using them don't realise that they can be as stealthy as they want, but their engine is still hot

AIM-9b goes grrrrrrr

[robust shale]

The f117 isn't all that stealthy

At the BR you can find it for gbr

Within the 6km range of most spaa at 9.7 you can easily lock and slap it

[robust shale]

stupid XM fumbles L

[cosmic dragon]

Someone ping Hawk, WT gets DLSS 4.5 in the next update

[hollow dawn]

Ping him yourself, coward

[cosmic dragon]

He has me blocked

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

fun fact

Bagel can't be ammo racked if running ONLY AP

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale

im not even joking

every match against russia feels so bad

i shoot the tank and it bounces my shot everywhere

or their small armor plating eats my round

[robust shale]

Bad matches past day or two

[midnight ermine]

todays russian bias is nuts

[robust shale]

Is pain

[midnight ermine]

some italian light tank bounced my 600m round

[midnight ermine]

i got jumped by this now

[cosmic dragon]

Hate that thing

You need to have so much lead on it to kill it

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine u still on?

[midnight ermine]

yes

[midnight ermine]

oh man

im so over this game

i took a t-80uk in the cannon and it just ignores it and 1 taps me

i dont get this game

[cosmic dragon]

Stalinium Armour

[midnight ermine]

honestly

the russian bias has been nuts

also im annoyed that one of my keyboards leds died already

[zealous hull]

I love oneshotting battleships :D

12x 14" AP shells from Arizona directly into the turret and mags of the Dunkerque

IMMEDIATE citadel breach

then fire and mag explosion

and within 3 seconds it went from 100% hull to 0% and exploded again

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

@sullen latch @ivory moss my inner wallet warrior

I was so close

[ivory moss]

Dang lol

[cosmic dragon]

I have discovered that it is possible to have burnout from War Thunder

[robust shale]

I didn't have enough time to shoot another target the XM1 didn't have sufficient gun depression

RIP

the Xm1 is the only way I'll be able to grind the US tree slowl

[midnight ermine]

You bought it?

Well ig now we can play America together haha

Although I need sl first

Don’t have them crewed but I have the tanks purchased

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @zealous hull VR WT

Also the ME 262's guns are powerful enough to make it go backwards when it shoots when on the ground

[ivory moss]

Pretty cool

[ivory moss]

Think any plane with a 20mm+ can do that

[robust shale]

I've had it for a while now

Just never bothered to play USA

[cosmic dragon]

I'm flying the F-14 and dude I feel like I'm in freaking Top Gun

[ivory moss]

Whats it like pulling 14gs lol

I've got like 4 crew slots for USA and all of them are like level 1 except for the xm1

So I'm kinda fucked on the crew levels

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine US 9.3 or back to Russian/German 10.7

[midnight ermine]

Russian 9.3

Ohhh

You meant for rn?!?

I was just doing my last match haha

Gotta get my sheets out the dryer and go to bed

@robust shale

[robust shale]

[midnight ermine]

I got 3hrs of sleep last night so I’m trying to recoup today haha

[robust shale]

I guess I solo grind ameirca

if I can even get a good match

the Xm1 still kinda sucks

[zealous hull]

just got 9 ship kills haha

at 7.3

[robust shale]

@ivory moss @sullen latch @midnight ermine the Xm803 can carry 53 ATGMs

Much more powerful than 105mm HEAT

Spookston: "Don't add the BMPT"
Gaijin, 4 years later: "You said add it?"

[robust shale]

Huh

T-72A, T-72M1 and derivatives — the hull armor geometry has been corrected, the angles of some parts have been adjusted. Some of the hull elements, including the roof, are now made with volumetric armor. The armor type of the 16 mm armor plate welded on the UFP has been changed from RHA to HHA.

@midnight ermine @ivory moss russian bias

Huh?

[cosmic dragon]

Daaaaang

[robust shale]

was 130SP off a nuke

[cosmic dragon]

Good lord

[robust shale]

also weird thing. the XM1 GM ate like 5+ 155mm HE shells

from the Russian 2S19

no idea how I survived all of those hits to my roof

but I did

only lost like 1 crew member that entire match

[ivory moss]

Premium bias

[robust shale]

probably lol it was a full downtier

doesn't help that it was against Germany

so I know each weak spot easily

[midnight ermine]

heres my russian one

[midnight ermine]

heres my japan match rn

[cosmic dragon]

Wonder if you've ever played against or with Spookston

Or even been on the same team as him

[midnight ermine]

maybe tbh

[cosmic dragon]

I mean, he doesn't show his name in game, neither does CoDMineMan but I think OddBawz does

[sullen latch]

damn lol

I'm at 7.0 USA now

Took less than a day to unlock

[midnight ermine]

See

Ez

[robust shale]

Yea cause I had premium

[midnight ermine]

Yup

I enjoy my 7.0 us

I’d be higher on all my countries

If I hadn’t decided ah yes

Let me unlock every tank before going to the next tier

I don’t crew them just buy em

[cosmic dragon]

Same

[midnight ermine]

my highest tank is a 8.7

im going against 9.3

not doing too bad

[cosmic dragon]

I'm 10.7 going against 11.7

And yes, I get the Terminators

[idle aspen]

do u guys like tanks

[cosmic dragon]

I am autistic lol

Of course I do

[idle aspen]

lol

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine fuck it

[cosmic dragon]

Be one with the wallet warriors

[midnight ermine]

Let’s gooo!

atleast it’s a little

It’ll last till the 180 days for $20 comes out

Yk what I noticed tho

Trying to grind air is soooo hard

I can get 2 elims and only make 4k rp and like 30k lions on some matches

But I go lower tier and I make double that easily

Tanks are wayyyy easier to do

I can get 2 elims and get 8k rp

[robust shale]

Probably yea

Using this time to grind the US tech tree

Working through the 7.0 rank 4/5 soon

Once I get to rank 5 and 6 I should be able to get a decent line up

But the crew slots are a problem

Crew levels are gonna be a bitch

[midnight ermine]

Yea the crew slots is rough

I got like 7 of each

5 for tanks 2for planes or heli

Sometimes 6 and 1

[robust shale]

I have 4 or 5 for USA

but only 1 is leveled up roughly

[midnight ermine]

That was me too

But then I bought more premiums

Or i swapped out the slots

[cosmic dragon]

I have almost all the crew slots for Germany

Idk why I needed them since I only play Arcade

[midnight ermine]

uh oh

my nephew got into wt @robust shale

he was asking me to buy him a premium

[robust shale]

dew it

[midnight ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-4372156584801469333

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch LOCK THE FUCK IN

[midnight ermine]

Ooo

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale NOT BAD

[robust shale]

I've been having shit matches

Also another new vehicle to Germany

The crv block 2 is added

So I gotta research that now

[midnight ermine]

i did see that

i wanna grind to the btr

so i can get a nice lineup with it

and my alpha jet

air matches have been rough tho

not very easy to get tons of rp with my f2a

i only get like 7k rp for 3 kills

which its already hard getting those kills

[zealous hull]

WOW

[robust shale]

5 death moment nuke

Majority of the kills with the gepard cause I'm just better

[zealous hull]

Ooh

[cosmic dragon]

Didn't the Gepard get nerfed? Or at least the 35mm Oerlikon guns it has

[sullen latch]

geez lmfao

i havent even really touched WT lately again

been playing No Mans Sky again

finally started renaming my ships and such to better naming conventions

[cosmic dragon]

I still need to pick that up

[midnight ermine]

welp rip

[cosmic dragon]

I managed to kill one of those

Granted I had APFSDS

And it was point blank range

[midnight ermine]

i did too

but they shot my barrel

and 5 of them pushed me at once

[cosmic dragon]

I hate getting rushed

I also hate getting spawntrapped

Some of the maps are insanely easy to do that with

[midnight ermine]

and now i got jumped by a rat

[cosmic dragon]

The rat tanks for me are always bagels

[robust shale]

Rat has been ratted

[midnight ermine]

ikr!

this is outrageous!

[midnight ermine]

plane sure looking nice

[midnight ermine]

and just dead

dang f14s just spamming fox 3s from so far and wiping the team

[cosmic dragon]

Speaking of F-14s

I was flying an F-14 in VR feeling like I was in top gun lol

[robust shale]

Stalinium

Or Putinium, in this case

[sullen latch]

2 words for ya

Russian

Bias

[robust shale]

Where were you even shooting

The entire crew of the 2s38 is in the front

Shooting for the autoloader isn't the best spot

Engine maybe but not the dead center

[midnight ermine]

The front

Like dead center

Then the round analysis shows I hit the one spot with a plate on it

Why the caps lock

[robust shale]

Ew the underwater boats

[sullen latch]

ehhh it could be fun if done right

World Of Warships poorly executed them

Aircraft Carriers would be kinda interesting too

[cosmic dragon]

They already kinda exist but just to launch planes

[robust shale]

Casually drops all bombs while sitting at 10km altitude

[sullen latch]

i wouldnt be surprised tho if they eventually add F22 and F35, but i doubt it since A) F22 is still heavily classified and B) F35 is too new

[robust shale]

The f35 is only from 2006

[sullen latch]

nuh uhhh

F35 aint THAT old? is it?

[cosmic dragon]

Yep

[sullen latch]

i thought it was newer than that? 🤨

[robust shale]

Prototypes a bit earlier than 06

[cosmic dragon]

It's 20 years old

[sullen latch]

seriously? 😂

the F35 has really been around that long?

[robust shale]

Mind you @sullen latch ace combat games from the PS2 had the f35 already

[sullen latch]

wtf lol

[robust shale]

The f35 was in games as old as 2004

I would know cause I still play those games and the F35 is in them

[sullen latch]

thats insane that its that old of an aircraft

wtf lol

US really just be building shit ig 😂

[robust shale]

The F-18 Super Hornets are around 1996

[sullen latch]

F22 is 1997

[robust shale]

Earlier

[cosmic dragon]

F14 is 1970s iirc

[sullen latch]

nopeeee, first production flight is Sept 7 1997

YF22 1990

[robust shale]

1996 production

1997 flight

The raptor as a project started much earlier

Quite literally late 80s in 89 was the conception and production of the prototype(s)

[sullen latch]

i cant believe the F22 has been around THAT LONG and still has no kills besides a balloon 😭

like man we really dont let that thing eat

[robust shale]

The su57 is from 2010

Technically

Just never put into service for another decade

[sullen latch]

SU57? more like SUCK-57

[cosmic dragon]

Oh yeah, flying the Russian jets in VR made me hear the hardbass music in my head

[robust shale]

On paper it can be a good fighter but considering Russian everything it's balls

The Chinese planes are interesting

The Chinese J-20 being 2011

[sullen latch]

chinese planes are just the Temu version of US stuff 🤣

[robust shale]

Also

Korea

Has released their plane

[cosmic dragon]

Doesn't the Chinese have a mix of US and Russian planes, as well as their own?

[robust shale]

The KF-21

[sullen latch]

mostly lol

a lot of Chinas shit is based off stolen designs from US 😂

and its alllll baddddddd

[robust shale]

They basically take what's good about East and West designs

And than make it happen

The real capabilities who knows

[sullen latch]

and its WORSE than either 🤣

[robust shale]

But it's a cool plane

[cosmic dragon]

As you said, temu version of US planes lol

[robust shale]

I'd say still better than Russia

[sullen latch]

ehhhh who knows tbh lol

[cosmic dragon]

Ngl once I get my PC running again, I might actually focus the Chinese tree

[robust shale]

Unlike Russia. China actually has the money to do so

[sullen latch]

Russia will always be a joke at this point tho for sure 💀

[robust shale]

KF-21

A dual seater

[sullen latch]

the fact that theres footage of a T90 (?) getting killed by a fuckin Bradley says something 💀 about Russian tanks

[sullen latch]

thats Koreas right?

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah, T-90

[cosmic dragon]

Weirdly, I'm getting F-14 vibes from this

[sullen latch]

id say a mix of F14 and F22 or F35 kinda?

[cosmic dragon]

That's just shows that American firepower will always be superior lol

[sullen latch]

always 😂

[cosmic dragon]

Hybrid between all three perhaps

[sullen latch]

even when its not even an MBT we can yeet MBTs with it

[robust shale]

The Bradley has more anti tank kd than the Abrams

[sullen latch]

does it really? 🤣

well actually

[cosmic dragon]

Yet we do that in WT and Putinium/Stalinium happens

[sullen latch]

not surprising given it has TOW Missile Capabilities

[robust shale]

Tank on tank battle is uncommon

[sullen latch]

which are ATGMs

[robust shale]

And in the middle east it was mostly the Bradley's doing a lot of work close up

[cosmic dragon]

Putinium is what I call the armour on the modern Russian tanks

[sullen latch]

just gotta aim at the right spots

you can 100% kill MBTs with the Bradley in WT

its all about where ya aim

[cosmic dragon]

True, true

[robust shale]

Track barrel

[cosmic dragon]

I usually just use tungsten dart

[robust shale]

Run

[sullen latch]

wasnt the Ukrainian Bradley on a flanking manuever anyway?

[sullen latch]

pretty much

[cosmic dragon]

Radkampfwagen 90 uses Tungsten Dart! It's very effective!

DM33 is potent

Same with DM63 and KE-W

[cosmic dragon]

Think so

[sullen latch]

id have to go find the footage again

[cosmic dragon]

Think I found it lol

But yeah, American firepower is and always will be superior

The Abrams, Leopard 2 and Challenger may have a 120mm gun, but I think they have a higher velocity than the T-90s 125mm gun

@sullen latch @midnight ermine @ivory moss @zealous hull

I found #Wardle Ground daily secret vehicle #581 in 3 guesses 🪖
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩⬇️⬆️🟧🟩🟧🟥🟩
🟥🟩⬇️🟧🟩🟧🟩🟩

https://wardlegame.com my god it actually works

[zealous hull]

I can do ships and some planes but not tanks lol

Ships I could do pretty well probably

[robust shale]

tanks

is a nightmare

I got lucky I guessed it

ships is a lot easier

cause there ain't any

aircraft would be the mid ground

[cosmic dragon]

I'll be War Thundering soon™™™™

[zealous hull]

There’s still a lot

Oh shoot it’s based on properties

I thought it would be ship silhouette or something

[sullen latch]

They adding Grandpa Buff into WT 💀 oh dear god

[robust shale]

YAY

but also FUK

[sullen latch]

Oh GOD

[robust shale]

@sullen latch @zealous hull @ivory moss @midnight ermine that is terrifying

[midnight ermine]

Ooo

[cosmic dragon]

That'd be sick

[idle aspen]

what kind of plane is that

[hollow dawn]

B52

[sullen latch]

Very lmao

[ivory moss]

Oh fuck naw

Considering when that entered service and its service ceiling is 50000ft were cooked

[hollow dawn]

gotta get some long range AAMs ig

it's not like it can easily dodge them

[cosmic dragon]

I think they upgraded them to have countermeasures

[robust shale]

we have many SPAA that have that range already

[hollow dawn]

you can chaff all you want, but your radar signature remains

[hollow dawn]

i was thinking from an air battle pov

[robust shale]

Patriots

airfields have patriots

[hollow dawn]

yeah, but they generally don't cover the entire map

[robust shale]

Germany:
IRIS-T SLM TEL

Russia:
BUK-M3
PANTSIR SM-SV

USA:
SLAAMRAM(CLAWS)
NASAMS

just some examples

[hollow dawn]

do they intend on realeasing multiple variants of the b52?

[robust shale]

dunno

we are directly getting the B-52H already

which is like

the 8th iteration

or model

of the BUFF

[hollow dawn]

NASAMS mentioned

kongsberg my beloved

[robust shale]

isn't there a NASAMS for the Swed tree?

just a different base vehicle

[hollow dawn]

so??? 90s variant?

[robust shale]

uh

no

60s

[hollow dawn]

there is a hummvee variant and a truck variant for the norwegian subtree

[robust shale]

the B-52H was from 1962

[hollow dawn]

jesus

8 variants between 1950s and 1962???

[robust shale]

it's still being upgraded to this day as well

[hollow dawn]

cold war funding be crazy

[robust shale]

and then afterwards nothing crazy

the B-52J is expected to finish in 2030

with new engines and avionics

[hollow dawn]

8 variants over 10 years is actually crazy tho

[robust shale]

and a lot of other stuff

1954 was the prototypes

XB and YB variants

B-52A was production

only a few units made before the B-52B was made

B-52B basically added nuclear weapons capabilities

C: fuel capacity upgrade
D: long range capabilities upgraded
E: all around weapons system upgrade
F: engines upgraded
G: new weapons + missile platforms capabilities and range increase
H: turbo jets switched to turbo fan

[hollow dawn]

but if they're adding the b52, that means they should also add the tu-95 as well?

[robust shale]

yea

the TU-95 is in game as well

TU-95M

@hollow dawn

[hollow dawn]

wait, it's already in the game?

i thought this was an announcement for upcoming additions?

[robust shale]

nope

in game both

it's part of the april fools event

https://warthunder.com/en/news/9983-event-nuclear-thunder-en

[hollow dawn]

will they stay in the game too?

[robust shale]

yes but not sure how it will be unlocked afterwards

every 2 days during event there is a point task to complete

[hollow dawn]

i can't play it :(

10.3 minimum BR

[robust shale]

U can

Free load outs are provided

[ivory moss]

Could probably hear that thing a hundred miles away

[midnight ermine]

If you do the 5 task

You will get to keep the plane afterwards

[robust shale]

Yup

[midnight ermine]

So time to open the wallet

[cosmic dragon]

Insta complete the tasks

[midnight ermine]

Indeed

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @hollow dawn @sullen latch I killed me

yea I don't think i'm getting a queue anytime soon

[sullen latch]

bcz everyone wants to play the damn BUFF 😂

[midnight ermine]

Welp

I dee why the American side had a gross queue

You can take f14s into this game mode

Makes sooo much sense now

You take fox 3s up against these crappy Russian planes

So silly they got rid of any actual Russian jets that could maybe survive

[sullen latch]

russian jets... surviving?

that was unlikely

[robust shale]

I've nuked some and myself

My nuke bomb fuze is .5s

So the instant it hits the ground I'm just gone

[sullen latch]

oop 😂

[midnight ermine]

we lost smh

i wouldve gotten sooo much more too

[midnight ermine]

this mode is nuts for sl

[cosmic dragon]

How long is the event for?

Not like I can play because I refuse to play on Console

Also when's the next sale

[robust shale]

ngl I might just buy the F-18C at this rate for the premium

[midnight ermine]

it was pretty nuts for that mode

sadly its meh during normal matches

[cosmic dragon]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTk6DAJ2F/

Not my video but damn

[cosmic dragon]

Lmao

There's a fallout themed one

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

[hollow dawn]

https://klipy.com/gifs/blm

[midnight ermine]

Nooo

[midnight ermine]

Honestly tho I was surprised to see that much rp and sl gained from that game mode

Can’t really do shit with Russia on it tho

It’s straight up pain

But if you get a us match you can easily get like 50k rp per match and solid sl

[robust shale]

The f14 for removed

[robust shale]

My brother gifted it for birthday lol

[midnight ermine]

oh

nice

also lets gooo

no f14s finally

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

It lasted for a whole fucking hour

[midnight ermine]

How much you get ?

[robust shale]

100k

I barley had any kills

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @sullen latch

[midnight ermine]

YUP

ITS BAD

[robust shale]

I've been figuring out how to use AGMs and GBUs

I don't like GBUs

AGMs are easier at least

[robust shale]

Fuck sake

[midnight ermine]

Haha

I kept resetting it till I finally got in a match

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine I shot down a big nuke carrier

[midnight ermine]

Let’s gooo

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine this is dumb I joined the nukje match and the seocnd i joined my team had won

it threw me into a match that was already done

I wasted 2x 300% boosters for RP and SL

[midnight ermine]

Oof

Yea that is stupid

[cosmic dragon]

I don't know how to fly planes on controller lmao

I was trying to test fly the B-52 and the TU-95

[zealous hull]

It’s so cool tho

[robust shale]

Game mode queue times are shit

[midnight ermine]

Fr

[hollow dawn]

@midnight ermine are squad vehicles personal, or are we all grinding the sea harrier because i chose it when i joined?

[midnight ermine]

Personal

[hollow dawn]

so my personal squadron activity is all that progresses my chosen vehicle?

[hollow dawn]

this would have been clean AF if i didn't crash into him

[cosmic dragon]

Yes

[zealous hull]

The missile knows where it is because the missile is me

[cosmic dragon]

My nemesis

Also MBT-2000? Never heard of it

[robust shale]

@midnight ermine @ivory moss @sullen latch

[ivory moss]

Holy addons

[midnight ermine]

Did yall know the big sales are coming

Around the end of the month

[midnight ermine]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gY3QjU/

Noo I only saved up 6m

[cosmic dragon]

Well I've missed the event but hopefully I can buy the B-52 and TU-95 later

[midnight ermine]

You can only buy them during the event

I got the b52 with ge

The tu-95 is only cool for the massive bomb

But that’s it the b52 has it beat

But once the event is gone that’s it

It’ll be like the sturmmorser

Not being sold on gaijin market

[robust shale]

It sucks balls

Honestly I gave up grinding for the b52

Event times were so ass

[midnight ermine]

I just bought it cuz it’s funny

[cosmic dragon]

How much

[midnight ermine]

Well I got 1 day done by playing

So I bought the last 4 for 4k ge

[cosmic dragon]

I have almost 5k ge because I bought two packs

Gave me decals and titles

Think it was the packs that had to do with the B-52 and TU-95

[midnight ermine]

I saw there’s a limited time thing on gaijin website

$10 for like 2k ge

[cosmic dragon]

Hmm

Might have to do that

As soon as I figure out how to on console

[midnight ermine]

@cosmic dragon these are the ones

[cosmic dragon]

I already have those lol

[midnight ermine]

You do?!?

[cosmic dragon]

Yeah

Saw they were both $10 so I thought I'd get them

[midnight ermine]

Ah

Then rip

That’s an ez 4k ge

[cosmic dragon]

@midnight ermine I bought it before

[midnight ermine]

Ik ik

Maybe they do a sale soon

For something else

[cosmic dragon]

I bought the rest of the tasks for the B-52 lol

[midnight ermine]

Same

I didn’t get the last one for the upgrades

I can always unlock em by playing

[cosmic dragon]

I didn't have enough for the TU-95 Bear

[hollow dawn]

imagine using controller

[cosmic dragon]

PC is still down

I'm just collecting dailies on PS5 right now

[midnight ermine]

ewww

out of everything i couldve gotten i got this

[cosmic dragon]

Rip

[midnight ermine]

@robust shale IM READY

THIS IS MORE LIKE IT

[midnight ermine]

lol

im sitting in my object 122t

and im getting sprayed by 2 bmpts and a gepard and its bouncing all the shots

[midnight ermine]

i thought i drove over something

not bad

[midnight ermine]

Welp got a nuke in top tier

Just to be spawn camped by 3 enemy su-33s

[cosmic dragon]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkfF8DAY/

[hollow dawn]

6 kills and only 600 points???

fucking make it make sense

[sullen latch]

It never does

[midnight ermine]

was in a 1v2

was gonna take out the 2nd guy but a mig25pd was sitting 25km in the clouds

honestly sooo fucking stupid

[midnight ermine]

Played one match and I had enough

@robust shale there was 10 bmpts

Wtf

I killed a few but that shit is sooo annoying

They say just shoot bottom plate

But that shit also just does nothing half the time smh

[robust shale]

you gotta hit center bottom

[cosmic dragon]

Doesn't do shit if the round shatters somehow

[midnight ermine]

mine just bounces

or only takes out driver

[cosmic dragon]

Mine usually hits the ERA somehow

Or just takes out the Gunner

[robust shale]

depends on which sabot

[cosmic dragon]

DM63 does quite a bit of damage

[cosmic dragon]

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

[midnight ermine]

bmpt72 was chasing me

so i hid and he drove past

[cosmic dragon]

He dead

[midnight ermine]

yup

i hid so well

[cosmic dragon]

Wish I could hide that well lol

[midnight ermine]

im a master of disguise

[cosmic dragon]

You do also have bushes on your tank

[midnight ermine]

whaaaat

noooo

[cosmic dragon]

I just can't bring myself to add bushes

[midnight ermine]

Same

That was what I said till I get fed up of dying to em

[cosmic dragon]

Fair

I should do it then

[hollow dawn]

I’ve been having some bullshit games lately, 3 gun kills on planes tiered above mine, single life. 400 points total

Not even baseraping, pure dogfighting, sometimes 3v1 and I still only get 130 points per kill

[robust shale]

huh nerfed for AB

eh AB skill issues

[cosmic dragon]

BMPTs nerfed > Moved to 11.7

That's not nerf, that's moving them up in BR

[zealous hull]

nearly there

[zealous hull]

sounds like a nerf to me

[cosmic dragon]

I mean at least they're out of 10.3/11.3 but still

They are annoying to kill
