I tend to get like this with sales

eternal zenith
#

don't give into the marketing machine. Doesn't matter if you miss it

sleek fractal
#

Yep theres another sale anyway

keen sequoia
#

it does matter

eternal zenith
#

18$AUS if you use GE

#

don't buy the 180 for 30A$

#

you buy 5000 GE for 25A$ and then activate preem ingame

keen sequoia
eternal zenith
#

wait, I switched geo loc

lusty herald
#

what

eternal zenith
#

yeap 18A$

#

they fuck you with their premium acc offer

keen sequoia
#

I don't see nothing which works out to that price

eternal zenith
#

cause you will have 2550 GE left

keen sequoia
eternal zenith
#

gu

#

ok that explains

#

I read the 90d as 180

sleek fractal
#

GE are never on sale

eternal zenith
sleek fractal
#

Those % are always there to catch you KekSkew

keen sequoia
#

So we still haven't figured out what I should do

sleek fractal
#

Get Premium

#

And get the Mig on Anniversary Sale in October

#

Now it will be like 30% off

#

In October 50%

keen sequoia
trail briar
#

Bro get premium time

#

None of the migs you can buy are worth it more than a year of premium

sleek fractal
#

^this

#

And if you wait til October its even cheaper

keen sequoia
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

eternal zenith
#

Did they have packs on sale last year?

#

in may I mean

trail briar
#

No idea

sleek fractal
#

Yep later on

#

But it wont be 50% off

#

Just 25 or 30

keen sequoia
#

Thing is with just buying the mig

#

I don't have to suffer through playing the low tier battles

#

I can just buy and play till I get top tier

eternal zenith
#

if you go the GE vs direct way you save like 2A$ compared KekSkew

#

I wonder. Can you gift premium time?

#

Like as a present

keen sequoia
#

probably not

sleek fractal
#

You will eat missiles and it will be hardcore frustrating

eternal zenith
#

Cause buying 180 day premium as a gift card now would be a hilarious way to make use of the discount later on

keen sequoia
#

I already have suffered in jets before

#

I know the pain

sleek fractal
#

I see

#

You will suffer

#

As we all do

keen sequoia
#

Got a few hours of test drive as a reward for the G91

#

that was pain

sleek fractal
#

The feaver fucks me up

keen sequoia
#

but fun

eternal zenith
#

the G91 is super fun to fly tho

sleek fractal
#

Lel G91 is not comparable

#

Aim9B dont turn 30G

#

And Aim7F dont care about flares KekSkew

keen sequoia
#

hmm

#

FUCKKK

#

this is a hard decision

#

I hate this

trail briar
#

Again my guy, premium

#

it's not a hard decision

keen sequoia
#

but it is

trail briar
#

take it from someone that did both

#

Premium is far better

#

none of the jets you can buy are worth it more than premium

keen sequoia
#

you all say this but then all my mates say get the mig AAAAAA

trail briar
#

Yeah cuz they wanna play the mig with you, they don't care if the mig or the premium is better

eternal zenith
#

get the F-4S and laugh

keen sequoia
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

trail briar
#

Get premium dude

#

and realistically speaking

eternal zenith
trail briar
#

don't get either

#

not even the best loadout either xD

keen sequoia
#

I know what this calls for

#

a shower

#

to clear my mind

#

I make the best decisions when in the shower

eternal zenith
trail briar
#

I don't do america

trail briar
eternal zenith
trail briar
#

yeah

lusty herald
#

I hate only having one vehicle actually have anything to research
Wish RP distribution made more sense, no I'm not buying GE for RP

trail briar
#

cuz you shouldn't

#

that's the worse thing you can do with ge

#

that and buying sl

eternal zenith
#

every 50 crates guaranteed drop

lusty herald
#

Tell that to the fat leech in the lineup that's supposed to be giving all RP to the in-research vehicle
But eats half the RP "but has nothing to research"

#

Oh right forgot about lootboxes for GE

eternal zenith
#

wha

#

that's how it works? kekw

#

the more I learn about this game the more I regret previous spendings

lusty herald
#

Feel like strike craft are just there to shit on new players that don't understand you shouldn't tailgate or headon the wide diamonds.

eternal zenith
#

Wait you get 2500 GE when your referred reaches Rank VII?

#

don't the Squad research ones count?

trail briar
#

nope

#

and you could always make a new account to become the referred

#

just don't do it too much

eternal zenith
#

Make me think whoever referred Llama might count on the massive GE influx from all the guys spending on the MiG-23

#

Were the referral boni changed at some point? I could've sworn I was using the referal to get my main acc boosted before.

keen sequoia
#

No one refered me

#

I found this shithole on my own

eternal zenith
#

Might be better to refer yourself before you purchase the mig then kekw

#

that's 25$ worth of GE

keen sequoia
#

Hmm

#

So

#

create a new account and refer that account?

#

But anyways

#

I have 4 options before me

eternal zenith
keen sequoia
#

OPTION 1: Buy the MIG-23ML when the store sale goes live, be sick as fuck sometimes but suffer the other 90% of the time, maybe buy some premium time or smth on the anniversary

OPTION 2: Buy premium time, buy the MIG-23ML on the anniversary

OPTION 3: Buy neither

OPTION 4: Buy neither and hang myself to never worry about this again

#

I might just go with option 1 tbh

eternal zenith
#

I like option 4 myself. But I don't have an belt or unused cable near me rn

keen sequoia
#

I too like option 4

#

but alas

#

no belt

#

no cable

#

oh wait

#

option 5 was buy 180 days and the mig

#

Dunno how I feel about that one

#

Are you fucking serious

#

@eternal zenith It was this simple

#

This is what support told me after a week of back and forth giving them info and them giving me info

#

IT WAS THIS FUCKING SIMPLE??!??!!??!

#

I'm not even mad now

#

its just funny how I didn't notice the button that stands out from the rest of them after countless times of going into that profile section

eternal zenith
#

lol

#

I thought you tried that already kekw

keen sequoia
#

nope lmfao

eternal zenith
#

well, now you can get the seal and eva sticker

eternal zenith
#

ye

#

why decal so special

keen sequoia
#

She's a pornstar

#

Gaijin know their playerbase

#

and made a pornstar have a decal with some thicc ass thighs

arctic granite
#

Not the first time

#

Gaijin sold loli porn skins back in the day

sleek fractal
#

When did they do that ?

arctic granite
#

Strike witches collab, all 10 skins had little girls pulling up their skirts showing their panties

#

I only found out because I was grinding a friend's account and he had them

#

most awkward conversation about a 109 F-4 ever

sleek fractal
#

never heard or saw anything about that privatThink

arctic granite
#

I'm skeptical about posting it here due to the content

sleek fractal
#

yeah dont

arctic granite
#

Here's the safe side of the skin

#

The other side has that girl showing her panties

keen sequoia
arctic granite
#

I almost thought only 9/10 skins were showing panties but no the last one is just wearing tights so it makes it harder to see

#

Here's some reddit comments about it if you don't believe me

keen sequoia
arctic granite
#

Just remember this next time you give them money ❤️

sleek fractal
#

ok i instantly found all of them on Imgur

arctic granite
#

I wonder if we're going to get the US version of superbombs like the tallboy and FAB-5000

sleek fractal
arctic granite
#

soon

#

It's weird how they have such a huge focus on napalm recently but the B-29 gets neglected

sleek fractal
#

Thats why i never heard about the collab,it was 2018 and Japanese.

The only thing the B-29 gets is higher repair costs again

arctic granite
#

pretty sure the repair costs have gone down significantly

#

Yeah it's only 15k these days

sleek fractal

Let me take a look

#

Sim probably still 50k

I mean from 30k to 15k is ok

Well that's because it's unplayable at 7.3 now

Does anyone naval?
Would you rate it better or worse than bombers in air? 🤔

eternal zenith
#

short answer: worse

keen sequoia
#

Short answer: Naval can go die in a hole

eternal zenith
arctic granite
#

I can give you the spiel on naval if you want

fierce adder

#

#

Naval is a very poor amalgamation of Gaijin's attempts to cash in on the WoWS crowd while also completely missing the point of what makes naval games fun

Get more hours, that's rookie numbers

#

Get 169 hours a week and come talk to me then

I killed an L3 at 7.3

I enjoyed every frame

Kikked a tiger and a bubble Sherman at 10.7

#

you okay

trail briar
#

I play war thunder, what do you think?

arctic granite
#

well I wasn't really referring to your mental capacity so much as I was your physical

keen sequoia
trail briar
#

Slight uptier on their end

fierce adder
#

Atleast germany gets the fastest torps in the game

arctic granite
fierce adder
#

Tbh those 2 separate Naval tech trees should become one again with some br changes that put those Ships which have that funny anti aircraft HE to a higher br

arctic granite
#

They should scrap the entire game mode and stop wasting dev time on it

fierce adder
#

Nah man thats still a gamemode i can dip into when i got no more SL

arctic granite
#

The fact that you're using it as an alternative to playing the current game mode speaks volumes in it's self

fierce adder
#

Man leave me with my skill Issue KekSkew

arctic granite
#

They spend more time trying to get chinese players to stop botting than they do actively improving the game mode

fierce adder
#

Naval does need a lot of content and a general br revamp but i wouldnt trash it like that the fact its not Played often is because of the missing content

lusty herald
#

Switched to Germany and man biplanes are fun in their simplicity

fierce adder
arctic granite
#

It's been 6 years. They're milking money out of people so the only thing that's going to change is the highest battle rating.

arctic granite
#

It doesn't need content, it needs to be revamped or dropped from development

fierce adder
#

Who the fuck spends money on naval

arctic granite
#

I envy your innocence

#

I really do

#

Do you remember the PG-02 fiasco

fierce adder
#

I play naval only when other gamemodes become more than just suffering which is quite rare now skull4k

arctic granite
#

Even you consider it second rate

#

That's its own testament

fierce adder
#

In fact

#

I Do not

arctic granite
#

"I only play it when the better alternatives aren't as feasible"

fierce adder
fierce adder
arctic granite
#

So here's the thing I'm noticing, you cite two reasons why you play naval. "I only play when I need SL" and "I only play when other game modes become more than just suffering". Both of these can be easily remedied by making smarter decisions.

arctic granite

could I have crumb of competent team 🥺

tardy dome
#

How do you improve at war thunder air RB? I enjoy the game when i goes good, but it goes good 1/3 times. I play US aviation and i'm dipping my toes in tier 4. I BnZ and that works just fine, but as soon as someone higher dives on me or someone i didn't notice gets in my tail i can't shake them off and i die

#

i sideclimb and ther's always someone above me, if not i'm 3km above anyone

#

im not sure what im doing wrong

arctic granite
#

Realistically the best way to improve is to bring more manpower, the more planes you have the easier chance you have of winning. Keeping your altitude and energy is key to victory in air RB.

#

You can't really solo carry these days because the game ends before you get the chance to

#

neat

tardy dome
#

oh yes, sometimes games just end really fast becuase everyone in my team gets killed in a furrball and i'm the only one left alive since i slimbed

#

gotta git gud i guess

arctic granite
#

That's more of a free to play/team problem than anything

#

To be completely honest with you, air RB is a dead end game mode and I would suggest playing sim instead

tardy dome
#

Sim seems too complicated and the matches last for so long

arctic granite
#

Sim is Air RB+ and you can leave the matches whenever you want

tardy dome
#

didn't know that

#

i thought it was something like DCS

arctic granite
#

absolutely not

tardy dome
#

good to know

#

but i am locked in 1st person, right?

arctic granite
#

unless you're playing bombers yes

tardy dome
#

alright, thanks

#

will try it out

arctic granite
#

there's mouse controls which are easy to understand

tardy dome
#

i use keybinds + free camera

arctic granite
#

you can also respawn as much as you like

tardy dome
#

and mouse aim when i need to shoot someone down

#

with the same plane or do i have to use different planes?

arctic granite
#

you can bring a line up and use what you want as long as it's within the same BRs

tardy dome
#

thanks

arctic granite
#

Make sure you use the room list feature so you can join battles you want

#

There's revolving objectives, a front line system and even numerous air fields

lusty herald
#

Man iunno how to feel about reserve german tonks being nutty fun compared to the crawlers that are british tonks
I know it's arcadey but damn that's sad, weird WoT had the same philosophy

eternal zenith
#

zooming around with a 20mm autocannon KekSkew

arctic granite
#

that's because the british were and still are horrible at making tanks

#

and light fast vehicles armed with fast firing autocannons were really good back when everyone had only enough armor to stop rifle caliber rounds

eternal zenith
#

then you got the insane french B1

arctic granite
#

Yeah but that's 2.3 and at that point you have mid ww2 high velocity guns to fight

eternal zenith
#

but still most of the time you're like the iron man mk 1 suit in the cave scene

#

isn't the same hull pretty much used for the ARL too KekSkew

#

only real weakness at 2.3 is the turret

arctic granite
#

yeah the B1 is easy to kill if you have any knowledge

#

The ARL-44 is garbage tho

#

should be 4.7 and named HEAVY TANK not Self Propelled Gun

#

I don't think the ARL-44 is based off the B1 tho

#

it uses the same track type but that's about it

#

It was also a stop gap design so it's not supposed to be good

#

😔

eternal zenith
#

idk. the combination of the gun and the pretty decent hull makes it a great spg. Don't think it should be classified a heavy tank

arctic granite
#

Bro it's 55 tons, front heavy, slow, designed for break throughs and to be an equivalent to something like the TIger I

#

In almost every reference the vehicle is referred to as a heavy tank

#

Why would the original ARL-44 be a heavy tank if it's upgunned counterpart isn't

eternal zenith
#

Why shouldn't it be a tank destroyer? The range is great. Flat trajectory, high pen. That long barrel wouldn't be a good choice for a heavy tank

#

idk I can't imagine the SA45 being used as breakthrough unit

arctic granite
#

Because it's not doctrinally, design wise or functionally a tank destroyer

eternal zenith
arctic granite
#

gun length has nothing to do with classification

#

There's dozens of heavy tanks with fuckhuge barrels

eternal zenith
#

idk, in your opinion what makes up a tank destroyer?

arctic granite
#

A tank destroyer is a vehicle designed purely to destroy tanks and follows a nation's doctrine to do so

#

See: SU-85, Hellcat, Nashorn

#

Tank destroyers don't usually have extremely heavily armor, those that do are typically casemates

#

The french themselves came up with the term "transitional tank" (Char de Transition) in October 1944 and specifically wanted a heavier vehicle that could match up with other nation's heavy tanks.

#

It was even redesigned because the original outcome (ARL ACL-1) was no better than a Sherman

eternal zenith
#

man idk what french doctrine describes but if you got something that's slow and got a big gun I'll call it a tank destroyer unless otherwise specified

arctic granite
#

So you would call the entire KV/IS series, the entire T30 series, Tiger I/II and Churchill series tank destroyers.

#

But the thing is that it was specified that the ARL-44 was a heavy tank, the French didn't redesignate it until 1950 by which time not only was it outdated but it was being scrapped in the following years.

eternal zenith
#

heavy tank is also such a weird description

arctic granite
#

Heavy tank is a very clear cut set of vehicles tho, the Churchills are infantry support vehicles but they still fall under classification of a heavy tank.

#

The KV series is more particular to for breakthrough just like the Tiger I/II, while the T30 series is more jack of all trades

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

eternal zenith
#

I think somebody tried to argue about this already since the wikipedia entry looks like this kek2

#

breakthrough means punching through enemy defensive lines?

arctic granite
#

Their doctrine changed and the vehicles were now obsolete. That doesn't negate the fact that during the war and the immediate postwar period it was considered a heavy tank and it's job was that of a heavy tank.

#

Breakthrough just means pushing through an area by force

eternal zenith
#

was the tiger actually used in that role?

arctic granite
#

Yes, very extensively.

#

The Tiger II was also designed as a breakthrough vehicle

eternal zenith
#

I know they were designed for that but I didn't know they ever really saw use that way. I thought it was used more in a defensive situation. When I hear breakthrough I think of fast spearhead tactics, Pz IV and infantry etc

arctic granite
#

As the challenges offered by Citadel increased, he focused more and more on the expected new weapons that he believed were the key to victory: principally the Panther tank, but also the Ferdinand tank destroyer and greater numbers of the Tiger heavy tank.

#

They were used for breakthrough numerous numerous times.

eternal zenith
#

WWII is interesting. so much trial and error being done shaping what we have today

arctic granite
#

Yeah that's why modern is so boring because everyone uses the same stuff

eternal zenith
#

bam technicals enter the chat

#

we need hilux tech tree

arctic granite
#

Another tidbit: Except for most American designs, all tank destroyers were turretless vehicles with fixed or casemate superstructures.

eternal zenith
#

you see, this is the shit that annoys me. Every nation kinda has their own doctrine and classification. You'd need to analyse every available vehicle and build a classification accordingly

arctic granite
#

Yeah that's how classification works

#

The US had a different way of thinking and ended up making some of the most effective tank destroyers ever

eternal zenith
#

they were?

arctic granite
#

Yeah absolutely, the M10, M18 and M36 were all exceptional with the M18 being the most successful tank destroyer on the western front

#

The Hellcat was the most effective U.S. tank destroyer of World War II. It had a higher kill-to-loss ratio than any other tank or tank destroyer fielded by U.S. forces in World War II.[8][9] Kills claimed were 526 in total: 498 in Europe, 17 in Italy, and 11 in the Pacific. The kills-to-losses ratio for Europe was 2.3 to 1, and the overall kill to loss ratio was 2.4 to 1.

#

The M36 provided much needed firepower and was able to destroy T-34s and IS-2s during the Korean war

#

US doctrine was simply in the case of a breakthrough tanks were to exploit it, but in the case of heavy enemy armor presence or counter attack the tank destroyer branch would be called into action.

#

Also I would take into consideration that by the time the ARL-44 was reclassified as a tank destroyer it was pretty horrible at doing it kekl

eternal zenith
#

I like how it performs as a 5.3 tank kek2

arctic granite
#

bro it's trash at 5.3

#

solid shot, no zoom, getting flanked is a death sentence

eternal zenith
#

What would you recommend me rather use?

arctic granite
#

Jumbo

eternal zenith
#

I'm not getting flanked while being a kilometer away and the jumbo wouldn't pen shit at that range

#

but that's not what I use a jumbo for

arctic granite
#

Everyone says they're not getting flanked till the M41 pops up next to you 😭

eternal zenith
#

lol

arctic granite
#

But seriously, in most cases the ARL-44 struggles to find areas where it can actively snipe

#

and even when you DO the shells are so shit that they don't do enough damage

#

this coupled with it's atrocious reload makes for a poor vehicle at 5.3

eternal zenith
#

I'd love to have it at 4.7 kekw

#

I mean I've gotten death threads at 5.3

arctic granite
#

not hard considering the average war thunder player is fringing on mental breakdown 24/7

#

I remember taking my Lorraine 155 to 8.0 and some dude spamming my DMs in Russian for 30 minutes straight

#

you don't even have to get flanked

#

the turret sides are so horrible

#

The armor is also cast which gives a negative modifier meaning your turret armor is only 100mm

in WT it might seem it only carries 2 but behind the pilot and navi / gunner there's 3 more seats

I'm doing better in 8.3 with that heli and my 7.3 tanks then I am in only 7.3

did you figure out how to do insane heli landings already?

coming in at 180kph breaking horizontal and setting it down on the H GrokChadGAMMA

I've only really gotten the barrel roll down in mid air

it's perfect

slightly poor on the SL side of things however

Also, wanna play some matches? @eternal zenith

why torture yourself

keen sequoia

It's not torture though

it's fun flying around in vietnam blowing shit up

I mean fair but the quite long games combined with unfair matching of tech isn’t as fun

keen sequoia
#

eh

I've already worked out how long it'll take me to get the huey

serene birch
#

What nation are you grinding

keen sequoia
#

Germany

#

mainly

serene birch
#

Oh, havent really bothered with their heli tree

#

their top tier one is good but everything else before it is meh

keen sequoia
#

Their huey will take me about 10 hours total when playing pve heli battles with premium time while getting 10k RP per match

serene birch
#

Thats why I never bothered with helis, thats a very sluggish grind time and you’re doing the same thing over and over pretty much

#

but if you can do it, hats off

keen sequoia
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

10 hours isn't that long of a grind, especially when you have some banger tunes playing

Question: What's world war?

arctic granite
# lusty herald Question: What's world war?

World War Mode is supposed to be a pvp historical operations, but it's heavily limited, often not even available and usually heavily squad based. It often has "seasons" that don't really make sense.

#

It was announced back in 2012 and didn't come to the game until 2018ish. It's clearly not the original vision. It's often not worth playing unless you're apart of a big squad.

arctic granite
# lusty herald yo wait is this on a recurring pattern? Somehow I doubted this daily login thing...

If you're talking about the daily login bonus, the huge trophy drops every week (?) but it's honestly completely worthless. I once got to 1,200 days and never got anything good out of it. I have also never seen proof that anyone has ever gotten a vehicle out of the trophy like it says you could probably get. Every now and again you might get some SL or the 100 GE, but it's usually just garbage.

The good big trophy drops every 2 weeks

the one with the wagers and boosts every 1. week

They're probably going to do the "customizable" discount so if you want 50% off you have to buy more than one pack

it would've been better if it was a top tier round with the top tier pen values

it's for more angle pen, but the main round is more than good enough for the battlerating

BM-31-12, RANK III, USSR, PREMIUM
The BM-31-12 will surely please fans of rocket artillery with its powerful strikes that leave no chances of survival for light and medium vehicles. Its warheads carry almost 30 kg of explosives — six times the amount of the legendary BM-13 “Katyusha”! “Andryusha” joined the fight late — in the final year...
