[ruby rain]

[keen sequoia]

You betcha, Just finished researching the b-57A

Gonna get the F-105, then if the vark still aint out, the F-4C and prepare the F-15 line

[serene birch]

FShiteen

[keen sequoia]

It'll still shit on the SU-27

[serene birch]

doubt

if jts the f-15a itll get dogged on

[keen sequoia]

Ehhhhh

we'll see

either way though i'll be bing chilling because im gonna grind the USSR air too

[keen sequoia]

What the actual fuck

I just flung an APCR shot at a passing 109

and it somehow fucking hit

he was like 2 km away

1 more reason to buff SPAA

[eternal zenith]

not even a 105mm smooth bore
worst leopard ever

[south pendant]

can they add the f-ck-1 already

[eternal zenith]

EVERY time I have to check if it's a real plane or just some joke

[cursive phoenix]

jesus

[arctic granite]

I predicted it

20kg/s of burst mass in with HE 30 mms

For refrence the A-10s burst mass is 8kg/s more

[south pendant]

what's the overall best nation for top tier both ground and air? my guess would be russia but maybe the us isn't too bad?

[ruby rain]

Russian bias isn't a joke

[eternal zenith]

wait until the US gets Trophy Migs

or germany gets the Typhoon

Too bad the mix mash of all nations stops during high tier a bit with developing nations compared to china in the 50s

[sleek fractal]

Sweden or China.Believe it or not

[eternal zenith]

china gets the huge taiwan W

F16

Next up is going to be Taiwanese M1s alongside Chinese Type 99

[sleek fractal]

China has all the good Russian and US stuff

Then their own stuff which sucks irl but is good cause WT is a game

Like who the fuck designs a breach that lets gases from firing enter the fighting compartment

[eternal zenith]

what

[sleek fractal]

Tank biathlon

There was multiple accidents witch chinese crews

One where the crew had to exit the tank because of the tank filling up with smoke and toxic gases from firing the main gun

[eternal zenith]

I thought china #1

[ruby rain]

Germany, UK and Italy

[eternal zenith]

I just thought why France doesn't use the Typhoon then realized the Rafale exists

[south ether]

war thunder stuff irl

[cold lichen]

Had the US and Germany on my team

It was so over from the start

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/bFXpB.gif

17 kills with 28 scouts

[cold lichen]

I only got 1 scout :(

That light tank was my last vehicle

10 kill game

Lost due to planes

[eternal zenith]

enemy planes or your own mates deciding crashing a B-10 was worth more than capping A?

[cold lichen]

My team mats

mates

P-51s and P-40s

[eternal zenith]

This is why I tk planes

*should

[cold lichen]

Maybe I should start doing that

I have 9.8 million

||title of my sex tape||

[eternal zenith]

anyone done witch race thing yet?

I hate it so much

how was it buffed btw?

i foror

[eternal zenith]

EU server flooded with tryhards at rank III

I'm getting stomped like little girl at music festival

[eternal zenith]

[eternal zenith]

I figured it out. bring my low tier premium tanks into matches a few ranks higher

To clap german tigers while playing italy simply bring a italian Pz IV

[eternal zenith]

What's your strat?

[ruby rain]

Snipe from the lil hill East of A

otherwise just W it and do my best

[sour flower]

yall ever just

I mean its not technically war thunder but its still gaijin and all the tanks use WT models

[eternal zenith]

technicality matter

[eternal zenith]

plus the shooting mechanics are worse than DoD2

[cold lichen]

REAL

[valid dune]

Being a town rat and just driving around in it.

[sleek fractal]

Btw lots of F16 skins as Esport stream drops since yesterday

F16c

F16d

Yak141 skin

[keen sequoia]

Best war thunder is custom match war thunder

Just went into a custom with a mate for like 2ish hours

we did dogfights in our f-14s

He set up a sort of, race track for us to do which was fun asf and eventually a MIG-29 and an F-16AJ showed up, did the track with us for a bit and then we all did 2v2s

its safe to say me and the F-16 cleaned up

The grind go hard

[soft oracle]

SY my beloved

War Thunder tournaments: Both teams lost 2 jets to a single mountain

[ruby rain]

whatr is this?

[sour flower]

Enlisted

It's gaijin's other pet project

[ruby rain]

so what is their main project then?

huh

they sure seem to waste a lot of effort on it

[serene birch]

they dont no but they offer a lot of assets to those who do develop it

theyre just publishers

[serene birch]

its another potential money maker so why not honestly and the game really isnt that bad for a free fps

it couldve been as bad as heroes and generals

[ruby rain]

true ig

I played H&G a lot years ago when it had a playerbase and it wasnt that bad at all.

but they made some unpopular decisions I think and it started to fall off

[serene birch]

ye its why i stopped playing just sheer boredom

[serene birch]

i really disliked the gunplay

starter guns felt like peashooters

[ruby rain]

understandable

but is that all you disliked?

[pseudo zealot]

Starter guns were viable

M1 Garand kicked ass if you knew how to use it

[ruby rain]

PINNG

[pseudo zealot]

Yeah

[ruby rain]

My main character was a german sniper with a Kar 98 modded for 1-shot kills at most ranges

[pseudo zealot]

Still it was funny to rush enemy points with a bicycle army

[ruby rain]

I was fine

[serene birch]

that and the planes my god

[copper laurel]

rookie numbers, gotta get those numbers up

[south pendant]

163 days goon sesh

[eternal zenith]

oh I take it back, bicycle army slapped

ring ring

[ruby rain]

I loved the CQC warehouse map when there were players-only teams

mowing guys down with the soviet select-fire rifle

[pseudo zealot]

oh yeah

that was the shit

i loved to go in with a shitty SVT and steal a SMG from a dead dude

then I domniated the lobby

[ruby rain]

or a STG 44 or MG 42

[eternal zenith]

||https://youtu.be/1vwsS6CR4aY||

It's time

[ruby rain]

playing UK again

[serene birch]

poor.

[ruby rain]

its the most Ive ever had

[serene birch]

smh get rich man

its great you like have money that you dont use

its absolutely amazing (false)

[eternal zenith]

discount soon

[serene birch]

this

i only buy vehicles i really want straight away

unless theyre cheap asf

[eternal zenith]

I'm planned it, will completely buy out germany ground, sweden and half of italy and the US.

[serene birch]

why pay 990k if you can wait a year and pay 445

[eternal zenith]

crew train cost also stupid

oh, you got a Leo 1 already? retraining this crew will cost you if you want to use the A1 variant

[ruby rain]

Im gonna buy VFM5 and Oliphant 1

[ruby rain]

[eternal zenith]

I like the platform

This thing is pretty bad the way I play it

No idea how to handle the HEAT and HESH it fires

slow reload. No stab

It swims, might be able to use that

[sour flower]

Most aware war thunder/enlisted tank commander

[sleek fractal]

Did you drive a tank yet in enlisted?

You aint seeing shit xD

[sour flower]

Yeah I drive a Jagdpanther

A t60 and a M4A2

[sleek fractal]

That guy got unlucky hes even more blind than the average

[sour flower]

Like you can hear the hammer

It's VERY loud

[sleek fractal]

yeah true.

Blind and deaf

[sour flower]

Plus the Russians on Moscow are kinda braindead OP

Which is weird because on Berlin it's the opposite

[sleek fractal]

When Enlisted ever introduces a modern Version im in.

Still got the Alpha pre order Packs for Enlisted with all the exclusive guns.

Game just gets boring very fast.

[eternal zenith]

scram smelly enlisted player

[sour flower]

I mean I will play WT again when the new update drops

I got everything in the US, German and Japanese trees

so... no point in playing rn till the VARK comes

[sleek fractal]

Sweden,China

[sour flower]

both of which are uninteresting to me

copy paste vehicles arent very fun to me

[sleek fractal]

Well they are all the better versions + Chinas late shit istn copy paste just blatantly good because the guy responsible for providing values was over doing it before getting fired and Gaijin never bothered reverting anything.

Germany gets the best Mig29 next patch

and i wonder who all gets the Gripen

[sour flower]

not interested

what i am interested in is VARK

VARKVARKVARKVARK

[sleek fractal]

Yeah which will be useless in an instant.

[sour flower]

why

have you even played the f105

its a better 105

[sleek fractal]

i love the 105 but gaijin fucked the thrusters and the wings

So you flying with a full loadout,non working sweep wings at 600kmh to the battlefield if they aint fixing it

Also most loadouts block the sweep

so you gotta remove the inside load

[sour flower]

my loadout will just be a 20mm

I dont need anything more

[soft oracle]

M109 tho

[sleek fractal]

cause you play custom games

[sour flower]

what

fuck you talking about

[sleek fractal]

cause in GRB no AA will let you close enough

and in AIr RB well..... Radar missiles get you faster.

[sour flower]

using planes in GFRB is 1) ew 2) ew 3) not very smart at high tier

also the radar missiles at 10.3 are a joke

so

[sleek fractal]

average CAS complainer but not player

[sour flower]

I get you are trying to insult me in any way possible

[sleek fractal]

Not really

[sour flower]

but you are trying too hard

[sleek fractal]

just my observation

[sour flower]

bet you think the ka50 is balanced

[sleek fractal]

blantantly unbalanced

doesnt keep me from using it for my benefit

[sour flower]

thought so

[sleek fractal]

Why wouldnt i use something the game gives me for an advantage

[sour flower]

every time a t80 or ka50 dies the game becoems a better place

[sleek fractal]

edgy

Everytime someone grinds instead of buying a prem Tank the game becomes a better place

[sour flower]

TRU

[serene birch]

usually map "defenders" are

[sour flower]

Also TRU

[serene birch]

germany on normandy be like

i once spanwed bf110 with rockets, wiped 24 squads in 1 run

[sour flower]

the only 110 pilot to not crash after launching rockets tbh

idk what it is about german pilots on both WT and enlisted

[serene birch]

cas in general B)

[sleek fractal]

Germains are trash in WT

[serene birch]

this is why i just take p-38k in grb and bully cas players

braindead and stupid

[sleek fractal]

Not a meme for no reason

[sour flower]

I like taking a p39 into top tier gfrb and seeing how many mig21s I can blat

[sleek fractal]

Thats why i suggested Sweden

German Tanks but no braindead mates.

[serene birch]

i took a friend in his a-36 into 12.3

he managed to headon 3 mig-29s lol

[sour flower]

a36 with gunpods I assume

[serene birch]

nope surprisingly he didnt have them

but he did after that match B)

idk who doesnt have the a-36 gunpods if you have the a-36 in the first place honestly

[sour flower]

fr

thought with russia's winrate in GFRB top tier rn it aint worth playing anyone else

the ka50 is still braindead OP and the t80 you literally cannot die in

juts hold w to win

[eternal zenith]

man stop shitting the channel full of boring drama

[keen sequoia]

[eternal zenith]

who caaaares

[serene birch]

its funny that the most braindead players are german 9/10 lmao

and that they have the best toptier

and yet still complain

[eternal zenith]

best?

elaborate

[sour flower]

god its so heartbreaking to play Germany and be doing really good and you entire team just bails after one death

[serene birch]

2a6 and 2a5 plus pso now too lmao

and they have one of the best helis and with them getting the MiG-29G they'll have a strong aircraft to bring

[eternal zenith]

But italy has the Centauro 120

[keen sequoia]

F-16 would like to know your location

[eternal zenith]

also yes

[sleek fractal]

Dont forget soon.

Gripen

[serene birch]

strong not the best you ding ding

[eternal zenith]

German gripen?

[keen sequoia]

Ding ding? Damn bro is hector salamanca or sumn

[sleek fractal]

German,Swedish and British

[serene birch]

who

[sour flower]

also fsr they are giving the US a t90

[keen sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/ding-bell-ring-breaking-bad-waiting-gif-17012288

[sour flower]

someone found it in the files

[sleek fractal]

Its just a rumor from Olivia

[serene birch]

oh

[sour flower]

idk theres no reason for it

[eternal zenith]

Germany never operated the gripen

[sleek fractal]

we never operated a Leopard 2PL

or a CLASS3P

[eternal zenith]

At least built by

[keen sequoia]

yet the Leopard 2 is a German made vehicle?

[serene birch]

yah but thats a relic from when they didnt have sa shit in the uk tree

if it had dropped now it'd be in the UK tree

[sleek fractal]

Canadian Leo,TAM´s

[eternal zenith]

did germany do any major dev for the gripen? thought it was mainly done by saab

[serene birch]

(also its the german version of the rooikat)

[sleek fractal]

dont blame me blame the devs hinting it

[eternal zenith]

Maybe they just use the same flight model for the typhoon bit later down the road

UK getting the gripen & typhoon

man top tier sim would be a PAIN

all those f-16s, gripens, migs

[sour flower]

japan still has the Ki45 with the USAAF skin and the G8N with the USAAF test scheme

:))))))))))

[sleek fractal]

Here was the T-90 Stuff

[serene birch]

ok some russian planes have polish skins remove them and give them to germany as more premiums B)

[sleek fractal]

Pink Spitfire.

[sour flower]

it was pink for a reason

[eternal zenith]

what reason

[serene birch]

camouflage for early morning or late afternoon

[eternal zenith]

cool

[serene birch]

mostly recon

[sour flower]

it was made for high altitude recon during dusk/dawn hours

[keen sequoia]

I want my sale alreadyyyyyyyy

[serene birch]

also gaijin if japan gets the r2y2 can we get this for germany

i want my goofy ahh 262

[sleek fractal]

they want to replace that someday

since around 2 years or so

[serene birch]

yeah too bad theres not a lot of options B)

until then give germany the me 262 stupidedition

[sour flower]

bring it back to the golden days of wt

and yes it does have a hat

[serene birch]

im missing 1 hat :(

[sour flower]

were you there for that event

[serene birch]

ive been around for a long long time so yes

[sleek fractal]

its been 11 years soon

1. April next year

[serene birch]

i thankfully didnt start that early

??? Fuck is this gaijin ????

Also you spelled Cadillac Gage wrong

[keen sequoia]

[copper laurel]

bro is playing at 50 fov

[sour flower]

Just defaults

I don't fuck with no 120 FOV bullshit

How default is is how it's gonna stay

[copper laurel]

i play that shit like its call of duty

[sour flower]

Gross

I want to see a full 360 view of what I do

Therefore my FOV is 360

Can't get an execution on me if I see you coming

[ruby rain]

You want to play at 0.3 br?

nope.

Im having a better time with 8.3 br UK than 5.7 br USA

[sleek fractal]

Q: The F-111 currently has AIM-9B, but it does appear that AIM-9E/J/P are all possible. Has there been any consideration for improved missiles for this aircraft?

A: We firstly want to look at the effectiveness of the aircraft with the current missiles (AIM-9B) as we would not want to increase the BR of the aircraft because of these other missile types. But if necessary we will come back to this matter and review its loadouts in the future.

So the VARK wont stay at 10.3 anyway

some people you take one look at and know they watch small animals drown for fun

wtf

straight outta left field and you knocked the poor umpire out with that one sheesh

[eternal zenith]

I apologize. I was imagining a WTforum mod

[ruby rain]

Is that face someone relevant?

[serene birch]

its a gaijin employee

they do the russian devstreams quite often but idk who he really is other than that

[ruby rain]

christ...

[eternal zenith]

oh, so it's exactly who I thought of

US AP shells a pain to use

[serene birch]

bp grinding time B)

[eternal zenith]

plane doesn't seem worth it

Is there anything special about it compared to what's out already?

[serene birch]

yes its a 6.0 jet for the UK

and its from NZ

[keen sequoia]

And it's actually dogshit*

[eternal zenith]

I was just thinking, it's slightly faster than the Spitfire with the griffon engine

and besides the missiles you have a TON more firepower on the prop

[keen sequoia]

least profitable F-5C match

it's that easy

it's that easy boys

[ruby rain]

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

its actually not B)

[keen sequoia]

Good luck trying to kill literally anything at 6.0 with those 7.62s

[serene birch]

its a trainer plane so its a really forgiving airframe for energy

so it can just keep turning against things that cant do that so well

[serene birch]

clearly an issue of skill if you think 7.62s are pointless smh

[keen sequoia]

Uh huh

ok gamer

[serene birch]

ill 1v1 you rn and only use MGs of 7.62/7.7 variety B)

and ill boink you hard gamer

[keen sequoia]

[keen sequoia]

no it cant

[serene birch]

[keen sequoia]

you are not a true grinder if you believe that

[serene birch]

[keen sequoia]

ok gamer

[serene birch]

dont be a chicken

[keen sequoia]

Ok gamer

first give me the rules

What are you in

the strikemaster?

and what am i in

a prop of my choice?

[serene birch]

idk you can pick the BR

and sure you can pick your plane ill pick mine of that BR

i wont even go japanese

[keen sequoia]

With you using 7.62s?

[serene birch]

yep

just tell me the BR and ill find a plane i wanna fly

[keen sequoia]

Ok i'm using my 6.3 US

[serene birch]

alright lemme find a 6.3

or at least >6.3

7.7 alr with you? theres a lack of 7.62 at 6.3

by 7.7 i mean the gun not BR

[keen sequoia]

Ah yes 7.7 when i mention 6.3

Sounds balanced

[serene birch]

can you read :(

it shouldnt be upside for you im also upside down

[eternal zenith]

what did I just walk in to?

[keen sequoia]

idk a schizophrenic person trying to stop my grind because muh 7.62s so good

[serene birch]

him coping that 7.62s are dogshit ill prove to him airframe is all that matters B) but his BR of choice has lack of 7.62 so im using 7.7 smh

[keen sequoia]

Ah so now you change from your beloved 7.62s

[serene birch]

i literally asked

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

and you have not said shit

[keen sequoia]

You say 7.62 and i say the br

[serene birch]

if its not good with you change your BR

[keen sequoia]

so clearly i wish for the 7.62

[serene birch]

there are no 7.62s at 6.3 (at least that i have)

[keen sequoia]

Skill issue

[serene birch]

ah yes

so change your BR then my gamer

smh

[keen sequoia]

@eternal zenith dms

[eternal zenith]

what did you wana use. soviet meme prop plane or what?

[serene birch]

you can pick the BR, if the BR you pick doesnt have 7.62s you can either change it or be comfortable wit hme using 7.7s

also is he not gonna fight me how sadge

[eternal zenith]

He refuses to fight therefore I won

[keen sequoia]

[eternal zenith]

I'm going back to grind italy

[serene birch]

ah yes i did say that 100% totally

???

i asked is he not gonna fight me

[keen sequoia]

You poor boy

[serene birch]

not "lol he isnt fighting me i win"

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

why can no one read today :(

[eternal zenith]

BTR-80 is hilarious in a pasta lineup

[serene birch]

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

cmooon do it

[keen sequoia]

@eternal zenith See what I mean when i say free entertainment

[serene birch]

prove me wrong

do it B) i want you to

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

come on my australian child you must

[keen sequoia]

"You must"

[serene birch]

you must........

dont you wanna prove me wrong :(

[keen sequoia]

I'm not that much of a prisoner i dont HAVE to fight you

[eternal zenith]

this thing...

[serene birch]

you must to gain your freedom as an aussie im afraid

[keen sequoia]

No not really because after all it is my opinion that 7.62s are dog

So

[keen sequoia]

[serene birch]

L

[keen sequoia]

Schizophrenia is a horrible thing

poor Astray

[eternal zenith]

what even is the argument?

[keen sequoia]

he suffers from it every day

[serene birch]

that the strikemaster is gonna be dog B)

[keen sequoia]

I said (In my opinion) That 7.62s are dog

Which

there's not really an argument im just laughing at a schizophrenia patient

[eternal zenith]

what does dog mean in this context?

[serene birch]

bad

[keen sequoia]

less then ideal

[eternal zenith]

well, why wouldn't it be?

I bet it's good for strike stuff but Idk how you could compare it to a air superiority fighter

[serene birch]

the strikemaster isnt gonna be the new spacefire or meta by any means but its certainly not gonna be bad

[keen sequoia]

Especially comparing it to this

[serene birch]

its a trainer, it holds its energy and it'll be faster than a majority of the props (except for situations such as diving)

[keen sequoia]

Shits gonna be slapped around so hard if it fights the P-51

actual massacre

[serene birch]

if the pilot of the strikemaster is braindead (which lets face it 90% will be because "free" premium)

[keen sequoia]

Even if they're not braindead

they will not compare to a decent P-51H-5 player

it is that simple

[serene birch]

do you understand how well the strikemaster holds its energy

[eternal zenith]

hmm good point

[keen sequoia]

You should realise that simply doesn't matter when it flicks peas at enemies

[serene birch]

you have to get them off your tail for a starter lmao

[keen sequoia]

400 rounds and you get a yellow wing

[eternal zenith]

still I think you gonna lack firepower compared

[serene birch]

yeah but good luck shaking it, it's got a decent turnrate with good energy retention

[keen sequoia]

head ons yet another massacre

[serene birch]

thats on literally anyone dumb enough to headon american aircraft

[keen sequoia]

whats its top speed?

[keen sequoia]

(British players)

[serene birch]

i managed to cruise at like 740km/h in a straight line without climbing

it gets up to 550-600 easily but the 740 took me a little bit (but not ages)

[keen sequoia]

God forbid you're at a slight bit of altitude against a P-51

if you get on P-51s tail

it will simply dive and reach 770 even with a full payload

[serene birch]

yeah but 740 was straight line cruising

lemme get up to alt and dive and see the results

[keen sequoia]

Again

P-51 will dive with like only 200m of alt

and continue pulling

[serene birch]

ill test the strikemasters recovery and diving abilities

but also its not like there arent planes really good at forcing players down and just staying up high

p-38k comes to mind very quickly, its not the best at diving but its great at keeping people down and thats definitely not a bad thing

[keen sequoia]

Why the fuck do i have a random swedish premium

[serene birch]

you just do

its an event one so prolly from that

i mean its a p-51 so at least it isnt a bad premium

i mean it compressed and redlines there

it could prolly pull up with about 400-500m left

maybe not not sure

[eternal zenith]

battle pass

[serene birch]

oh is it a BP thing YuCk

[eternal zenith]

it's a nice P-51

[serene birch]

i mean yeah but yuck that its a BP thing

this still wins my heart as my favourite P-51 to play ngl

[ruby rain]

fuck is this?

[serene birch]

your drivers screeching out in agony and begging for mercy

(its wt being wt)

I think they make another announcement for that later

[keen sequoia]

Hopefully...

[ruby rain]

I've just test driven the M109A1 and sts it does seem to kill mfs

No STAB but the hull isn't bouncy

[soft oracle]

No stab on artillery

Very crucial

[serene birch]

literally says on the bottom of the page November 6th further details will be given

[pseudo zealot]

Tries to play war thunder
enemy team begins spamming CAS with .50 cals

3.3 BR

It gets worse the farther it goes

[serene birch]

become the annoying cas player

[ruby rain]

then you get killed by the air superiority player

[pseudo zealot]

I can get why some youtubers and players advocate to remove CAS

Cause that shit gets downright annoying and unfun to play against

[ruby rain]

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-docks-shawty-triflin-shawty-triflin-she-gif-22455514

[serene birch]

punishment for staying in 1 spot/staying in the open

but cas players who revenge bomb are cringe

unless said revenge is decimating a spawn camper

[ruby rain]

more like punishment for playing a tank in a ground game
you can get CAS'd at any point (unless deliberately hiding from cas)

[serene birch]

i agree that cas shouldnt be so readily available but you definitely should hide if you notice planes are up

[ruby rain]

it still takes away from gameplay bc fuck you do when hunkered down?

[serene birch]

ambush people

or just move from concealment to concealment

[sleek fractal]

Mhhh one hour of playing,good progress

[copper laurel]

man i really forgot sieg means victory in german

[sleek fractal]

i just noticed my WT is german again

lol

but hey those bonuses are nice

[soft oracle]

No under 40mm sabot petals, no sabot petals for APDS and M830A1

[sleek fractal]

So they fixed that ?

[ruby rain]

Schlacht

[sleek fractal]

show me the issue with this

its on German but it aint German.My WT is bugged xD

[serene birch]

thank fuck for that

[sleek fractal]

MY Warthunder is reverting to German automaticly

[serene birch]

put it in russian and play it the original way

[sleek fractal]

I rather eat Slop

[serene birch]

fair

[ruby rain]

skill bonus?
I've never seen it b4

[sleek fractal]

Its new and from the Roadmap

also Launcher trying to fix itself

[serene birch]

I went through my computer and deleted 2 extra copies of war thunder

I hate that this game still does that shit

[sleek fractal]

I got only 2 instances seperated. Normal and Dev.

Yeah its annoying

Will check after that update again.

[serene birch]

It’s done it to me for 9 fucking YEARS

[ruby rain]

I launch it from Steam

[sleek fractal]

[serene birch]

I got 5700 hours on steam and then it randomly stopped tracking my hours

[sleek fractal]

When steam cant fix an issue you can still start the manual launcher

You get the launcher either way

[serene birch]

it updates and then next time I check it it goes back to the hours before I launch it

[sleek fractal]

Who needs an addiction tracker anyway

[serene birch]

me :)

[sleek fractal]

Just measure it by the unique vehicles you got

I got 2,5k hours on Steam because i didnt use it a long time

[serene birch]

i already do for my pre-steam hours

ye same

[sleek fractal]

it still does the shit

REEEEEE

[ruby rain]

what issue?

[sleek fractal]

Putting my Game into German mode without me wanting it

[serene birch]

change your steam localisation maybe

[sleek fractal]

Just because im sitting right in the North of it doesnt mean i want it in German xD

[sleek fractal]

Has really nothing to do with the ingame settings cause im the only German person having that problem rn

[serene birch]

oh weird

gaijin just knows…….

[sleek fractal]

Yeah they know how to fuck me up xD

After i had a good day in WT

4 faulty data bits got renewed

lets check

still not working

[soft oracle]

WT from launcher sucks ahh

[sleek fractal]

You get it either way,even with Steam.

[soft oracle]

Yes but it tends to redownload the game twice

[sleek fractal]

yep

[sleek fractal]

2S38 has shrapnell with its Sabot with a 37mm

[soft oracle]

What

[sleek fractal]

2S38 has the shrapnell

the petals

[soft oracle]

Yeah because it is above 40mm

[sleek fractal]

its a 37mm

[soft oracle]

It is 57mm

[sleek fractal]

GAH MY FUCKING GAME

you are right

either i was just blind or it really did show me 37mm

We go from the first.

Me dumb dumb

Another thing

where im definetly not dumb

[soft oracle]

3+3+3 is 6

[serene birch]

simple math

[woeful lagoon]

did gaijin region lock south asia?

[soft oracle]

Someone forgor to edit textures lmao

[serene birch]

no?

also any bets on what BR the TOG II will be?

me thinks 6.7

maybe 6.3

[woeful lagoon]

where the hell is the rest of the servers?

last time I checked there was other servers... right?

its been 10 minutes

[serene birch]

cancel the queue

[woeful lagoon]

I did

[serene birch]

select gamemode should be there

down the bottom of the big window that pops up

[woeful lagoon]

man wtf they auto'ed me

[serene birch]

shame

[woeful lagoon]

yeah I see it

but now SA is not included

why are you like this gaijin

[serene birch]

i never use SA

id like to have stable PL and ping

[woeful lagoon]

well you're not from SA no?

[serene birch]

closest servers available

US being 2nd

but SA servers are or at least were horrendously unstable

[woeful lagoon]

well I can't tell you're wrong since I used all kind of servers available to me before, but thanks for the heads up

also if you can, can you try the commander sight on the wide tank?

the Obj 775, its bugged for me, idk for anybody else

[serene birch]

I only have tier 4 in that line sorry

[woeful lagoon]

ah alright

[eternal zenith]

lmao wtf

israel tech tree so fucking cursed

everyone but japan got the M109

[keen sequoia]

Skill issue honestly smh

[eternal zenith]

Ye, not having a 150mm howitzer shows your culture isn't trying hard enough

ig they have the ho-ro

[keen sequoia]

exactly

[eternal zenith]

Which BR should I play ground RB?

[serene birch]

ye im thinking 6.3 maybe MAYBE 6.7

its got a 94mm

but who knows maybe 6.0

[sleek fractal]

https://wiki.warthunder.com/Type_75_SPH

They had arty before it was cool

[eternal zenith]

right... I completely filtered out the type 75

remember this thing being such a pain prior to OP nerf

any rank IV game you'd hear a shot followed by being one shot cause the shell traveled so slowly

[serene birch]

I dont think it was envisioned with APDS

its from ljke 1942-43

[eternal zenith]

Ok, Italian Leo 1 SPAA is goated with the sauce

shame the crew isn't protected more but damn is it quick with a mean punch on top

[serene birch]

and the turret rotation is quick quick too

i was worried it was gonna be on the slower end

[eternal zenith]

is this little indicator new?

[serene birch]

yeah it minimises the menu if you click it

[eternal zenith]

oof

[serene birch]

or use the bind rather***

[eternal zenith]

it's to hide the hud

lmao

[eternal zenith]

bind?

[serene birch]

yeah

its sorta pointless as a feature like that exists but i guess so you can still have HUD without all the super intrusive stuff

on yours its set to that

[eternal zenith]

oh yeah

I'm quite happy about it, while scouting for targets parts of the hud really obstruct the window and turning the entire thing off is bothersome

[serene birch]

make your HUD smaller

[eternal zenith]

have it at the level I like, still moving parts of it in and out is the correct route I think

[sleek fractal]

Btw i fixed my German issue

Steam changed it to German via its own language settings

[eternal zenith]

what issue did you have?

[sleek fractal]

Game constantly changed to German

Also another issue

I wanted to grind for 29G

Now they force me back to ground

Just for the Tog

[serene birch]

toggers

[sleek fractal]

Pog2

[eternal zenith]

what about the tog

I'm out of the loop on that one. just happy with the SPAA leo

[sleek fractal]

35k Points from today 11gmt

Lika last year for Sturmtiger

[eternal zenith]

[serene birch]

its a based big ass super heavy tank from the tea drinkers

didn't realize they gonna do the event today

[sleek fractal]

[soft oracle]

Not needed

[keen sequoia]

@frigid carbon @eternal zenith

[frigid carbon]

is it on?

imma buy premium first of all

[keen sequoia]

the fit go hard

[keen sequoia]

the SL and GE vehicles, yes

pack sales no

[frigid carbon]

pack sales start next week on 6

[keen sequoia]

yes

[frigid carbon]

ye im getting 90d of premium rn

[keen sequoia]

Based

[frigid carbon]

then i will buy a pack

[keen sequoia]

i thought of doing that

but idk

[frigid carbon]

next week

premium is the best , grinding top tier without premium is so bad

classic snail

[keen sequoia]

I still have my 40 days from my OG 180 days

and

ima buy the TURMS and the mIG-23ML together for $50 AUD total because of the 2 for 1 deal thingy

get an extra 40 from that

so ill be good for 80 days

and then bada bing

WHAT THE FUCK

[frigid carbon]

minigun ponies

[keen sequoia]

So true

also the question is

what plane you flying

i see that 12.0 ARB

[frigid carbon]

mig29

[keen sequoia]

Based

[frigid carbon]

150k rp away from smt

[leaden fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/growing-old-getting-old-grow-old-old-man-becoming-old-gif-17885988

[keen sequoia]

apparently atm the standard mig-29 is better then the SMT

[copper laurel]

i escaped

[frigid carbon]

depedns, the 29 has better manuever , but it only has 2 radar missiles, the rest are r-60m which are ass v.s flares and shit fuel consumption

SMT is heavy , basically a flying bus , but has the best missiles in the game + 40 minutes of fuel

so i guess it's a trade

luckily the german mig29G has teh best of both, because fuck me grinding USSR

[eternal zenith]

Great now I bought everything and still have 10 million leftover

[keen sequoia]

[soft oracle]

I have calculated around 5-6mil to spend on researched vehicles without crewing them

[eternal zenith]

I spent 11 million

[elfin badger]

The tog 2 is coming

[sleek fractal]

Thats when i started WT

1. April 2013

Ponies as test for WW2 Jets

Tog table

[south pendant]

gaijin store dead

[eternal zenith]

Just killed a plane with sabots

I thought they removed them

[copper laurel]

didnt play for 3 months
now this is a thing

[copper laurel]

context?

[eternal zenith]

what the hungarian tech tree?

Also Italy mad fun atm. Really vibing with it

[copper laurel]

play 1 match
people camp from spawn to other
i already want to delete the game

[eternal zenith]

what, enemy team?

[copper laurel]

yeah

[eternal zenith]

howitzer solves that issue

[copper laurel]

guy climbs on hill with t-72
doesnt move entire game

why are people so passive in this fucking game

yeah this wont be fun

peak gameplay

[eternal zenith]

Part of why I like the game so much is long range pot shots, esp. pre laser ranger. So I get the appeal to find a cozy spot and just snipe all match

[copper laurel]

i dont like people like you

[eternal zenith]

bruh. not my problem you don't hit shit from more than a kilometer away

clear skill issue, better get that ERA laced MBT and shoot from 10m away

[copper laurel]

its easy to shoot more than a km away, its just you cant see anybody

espisially if he has bushes on

[eternal zenith]

so what, your problem is that you get killed by snipers a lot?

I thought you meant team mates doing that

[copper laurel]

people dont move for shit

thats my problem

every game will have like 3 people from both sides

doing nothnig just sitting behind a hill

somewhere in the corner of the map

[eternal zenith]

yeah I get that

but the good thing here is the camp spots are mostly the same all the time easy to find targets via binos and then shortly peak over a hill or smth

[copper laurel]

sometimes you just cant pen the guy, or he will shoot you before you shoot yourself

and then just back off

and never peek again

[eternal zenith]

that's the whole gameplay loop

If that happens I try to make the team aware. Use squad targeting and them mark it on the map

also low velocity cannons great for that. I love the 150mm SPG for exactly this reason

top down ATGM also cool way to get em

[frigid carbon]

OOOOOOOOH

[copper laurel]

i feel like this should be per 2 kills rather then per 3

9 kills is just too hard to get

awooga

[south pendant]

how many days of premium is actually worth it

a full year sounds like a lot

and I want to save ge for premium vehicles

[sleek fractal]

Tog Table.How many score you need on each Tier

Thats what i preach every year

soon no more nightbattles

Everyone will turn them off

[south pendant]

does ge go on sale usually?

[sleek fractal]

never

[south pendant]

alright that's good to know, thanks

[serene birch]

best missiles for the MiG*** AIM-9Ms are better than R-73s

[frigid carbon]

debatable , i saw plent of ppl being 50/50

i suppose because the f16 is also the better plane overall that stands true

[serene birch]

R-73s pull better but theyre not the only missiles that pull hard

Pythons 3 exist

and magic 2s my beloved

[sleek fractal]

Magics are trash sadly

[serene birch]

magic 2s are not

[sleek fractal]

Done

That was slow today

[serene birch]

noice

i gotta do it when i get home from work

but thankfully im just washing the fleet today

[sleek fractal]

3 hours ... one more than the usual 2 it takes me

[frigid carbon]

servers rn are fire

[sleek fractal]

Just tick off Auto

Dont ask me why they added that shit

But it definetly leads to getting unwanted servers

[serene birch]

now where are the GAR servers

[sleek fractal]

14 Matches for the 1. Start @sleek fractal

For tracking.

[serene birch]

I’m pleasantly surprised they did another Dreams come true

[sleek fractal]

i hope they will do it again next year

[serene birch]

maybe we’ll get a bob semple that way

[sleek fractal]

i liked last year with all the small premiums

[serene birch]

tbf it boosts their already high player count

[sleek fractal]

Definetly

Sturmtiger was also cool

[serene birch]

they prolly wont do that but unique sought after vehicles prolly

i want bob semple

[sleek fractal]

I guess they do it again for the 15 or 20

if the game will live that long

[serene birch]

yeah id say 20

[sleek fractal]

oh btw DEFYN did a Plane sale guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcNOz4X5fI&ab_channel=DEFYN

[serene birch]

over the years ive bought a lot of planes from the sale

so i own most of the GE premiums except for the jets and new additions lol

[sleek fractal]

i bought the Action X and the Striker.

• 1 year prem

i got weak

[serene birch]

i was thinking about the striker to grow my 10.3 lineup

[sleek fractal]

But hey 70€ instead of around 200

[sleek fractal]

Thats why i did it

though

mhhhhh

Gimme a sec

OH i also bought a talisman for my AMBT

with the leftover GE

[serene birch]

i was thinking about talismans but i don’t have anything

[sleek fractal]

A10 will be replaced with the late when i finaly get not lazy and get the last 60k rp on it

[serene birch]

i need more things other than the vark

[sleek fractal]

F5C will be replaced with the 7D

The VARK is so bad for GRB

[serene birch]

i have all of the us air tree

[serene birch]

vark is based

stock it outruns f-16s

[sleek fractal]

Meh

[sleek fractal]

Without any load though

And if you take any load its a stone.

[serene birch]

dump your load when in danger

[serene birch]

it still goes mach 1 with a load lol

[sleek fractal]

When i tried it in the test drive it took it 4 Minutes

stock loadouts

[serene birch]

shame

[sleek fractal]

Didnt try the 9B load

[serene birch]

my friend has all of tier 2 perf mods and a few armament mods

[sleek fractal]

let me take less fuel and the 9B

[serene birch]

the thing was leaving my spaded F-16 in the dirt lmfao

he had a lot of bombs

[sleek fractal]

with 42 minutes fuel its way faster than with 142 Minutes xD

Guess i found the problem

[serene birch]

my friend was only taking an hourish

[sleek fractal]

42 is minimum

[serene birch]

not that little

but not max

[sleek fractal]

But now its pretty good

[serene birch]

tho you do need a lot of fuel if yourAB everywhere lmao

[sleek fractal]

42 minutes is more than enough

[serene birch]

i tested it with no load and full AB it took like 10 mins to nearly suck down 2 hours worth

[serene birch]

if you dont touch AB very much sure

[sleek fractal]

Arcade Battles ?

[serene birch]

afterburner

[sleek fractal]

ah

your a bomber and if your the first you eat a missile anyway

[serene birch]

dont fly right up the middle then

if you fly up the middle you deserve to get bonked

[sleek fractal]

i rather stay behind mates with enough bombs to dust 6 bases

Guess il unlock it soon then

96 Zuni

[serene birch]

have you seen the ejection animation

[sleek fractal]

lemme see

[serene birch]

x8 3000lbers

[sleek fractal]

Zunis dont need to hit the target to overpressure

thats the fun

1 zuni 1 kill

Thats fucking silly
