[keen sequoia]

been buying all them based US jets

AAAAAAAAAAAA

on one hand

funny german panther

other hand: All my SL

other other hand: I can just buy like 180 days of GE next sale (Broke atm )and then get like 10 million in a week

if youre in game rn

could you check how much 15 snowmen and 15 carrots would cost

cant remember how much they cost each

[sturdy pulsar]

15x50k and 150k

soo

about 900K?

[keen sequoia]

i might buy 15 then

after i finish pushing back the germans that is

[sturdy pulsar]

Which mission

Liberation feels weaksauce, except in Skirmish, fuck heroic Skirm

[keen sequoia]

Hurtgen forest skirmish in the campaign section

liberation is really fun imo

[sturdy pulsar]

Some missions just feel short to me 😔

have you tried Irregular div

and the funny infantry

[keen sequoia]

I've just been doing all round and offensive

i tried defensive ONCE and it fucked me so hard

for hedgerow hell

still havent finished that mission because fuck that shit

[sturdy pulsar]

All round probably the strongest, Irregular has uhh a funny infantry squad

[keen sequoia]

whats the squad

[sturdy pulsar]

the 1st special service with the funny

artillery signal man

which you can have several of with innate stealth

so you can guess the meme of crawling up to arty or tanks and popping a flare

[keen sequoia]

i have that with uhhh

[sturdy pulsar]

Base CTA trash, Ostront good

[keen sequoia]

offensive too

[keen sequoia]

this

[keen sequoia]

atleast i thought i did

cant find it in hurtgen forest

[sturdy pulsar]

better than base CTA for sure

Oh yeah I forgot

the 1st special costs 150 points only

lmao

I'm gonna do a quick skirm so I can show em

[keen sequoia]

true

[sturdy pulsar]

Modern mods for Ostfront are ports from AS2 btw

[keen sequoia]

so all round is strongest you say

[sturdy pulsar]

Strongest tanks if I don't mis-remember

you get the 76's no?

Including the Hellcat and a Jackson

[keen sequoia]

uhh cant even remember

with offensive atleast at this stage i have 75 jumbos, 76 M4A3s, M10s

the usual

Arty signaller would be super useful ngl

[sturdy pulsar]

Irregu has these

[keen sequoia]

there this one fucking 88 just destroying me

[keen sequoia]

So

what have you played most

[sturdy pulsar]

Early stuart

All round and Irregu

I tried defensive

but it's too "slow"

and german armor really gets bullshit in heroic

[keen sequoia]

defensive can suck my balls

[sturdy pulsar]

Irregu is better at breaking stalemates with sneak, all round is good if you can snowball armor

[keen sequoia]

i should prolly try irreg

[sturdy pulsar]

and I don't need to elaborate but spamming 5 Stuarts

[keen sequoia]

for the funny arty

[sturdy pulsar]

can work on rushing

[keen sequoia]

call it in then rush with armor and inf

[sturdy pulsar]

the 1st special service is just too strong for me lmao

[eternal zenith]

anyone else got 2 of those decals from the task?

[sturdy pulsar]

they cost less than a regular squad

[keen sequoia]

which ones that

[sturdy pulsar]

look

the squad i was talking about

[keen sequoia]

are you telling me

you get the arty signaller AND AT AND normal inf in one squad

for 150

[sturdy pulsar]

they're hidden above the "elite" squads

yeah

with stealth too

Medic too

[keen sequoia]

jesus fucking christ

yeah im using that next

[sturdy pulsar]

2 Bars, 1 Mechanic

[keen sequoia]

get any beefy tanks?

[eternal zenith]

did you get them through snowmend or decal chests?

[sturdy pulsar]

1 AT nadier

I gotta remember

[eternal zenith]

that's so weird

why they giving more than one each

[sturdy pulsar]

also Llama

they have uhh tier 5 stats

the medic carries a real gun too

[keen sequoia]

[sturdy pulsar]

Also getting 3 90 mils says enough lol

decent support

[keen sequoia]

yeahhh, ima run that next time

100%]

[sturdy pulsar]

Don't bother w Airborne squads btw, vet 3's but no AT

for 300

[keen sequoia]

damn

[sturdy pulsar]

70m over cover flare

bro's about to say bye

Damn tree's ate most of em

[sturdy pulsar]

Guess what the E-5 is

[keen sequoia]

calliope probably

[sturdy pulsar]

Nope

[keen sequoia]

ruble clearer

mine clearer

idk

[sturdy pulsar]

Flamenwerfer

[keen sequoia]

TRUEEEE

thats for irreg eyyy

[sturdy pulsar]

Any of the squad can call in arty as long as you yoink the flare gun btw

[keen sequoia]

true ey

[sturdy pulsar]

these mofos throw AT mines like AT nades

god

"heavy tanks"

I don't need to elaborate but

the 105 is enogh for everything lol

[keen sequoia]

lel

[sturdy pulsar]

you will just crew shock every heavy

and the hEAT

if it hits it hits

for 600 too

can also deploy like 3 squads of 1st

[sleek fractal]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/8683-happy-new-year-2024-en

Read and be disappointed

[sturdy pulsar]

What's wrong?

[sleek fractal]

Thank you for participating.

Basicly

After all the stuff they fucked up and tried to fix this year

[sturdy pulsar]

Just gotta wait for the 2024 news?

like it's 31 you think they working?

XD

[sturdy pulsar]

There's 2024 roadmap too

Yeah old bombers were sturdy af

[sturdy pulsar]

heavy Arty/AT

[keen sequoia]

opened 5

realised it'd be a better idea to kill myself instead

[sturdy pulsar]

I oepend 100

I got the I-301

which I don't remember tf it is

All gamblers quit before they hit big!!!

[keen sequoia]

i wont though.

Yooo gates of hell gamers

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/bnqr0.gif

since overpressure doesn't exist this might be interesting

otherwise:

https://tenor.com/ZDZm.gif

[eternal zenith]

oi, got a sparkler from a snowman

[ruby rain]

what does that mean?

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/1VpE.gif

sparkler is the decoration that makes sparks (red white one)

[ruby rain]

ohhh

that snowman

[ruby rain]

do the sparks affect therms?

[eternal zenith]

yes

you will light up like a christmas tree

buuut, I've had situations where a well placed sparkler or other heat source can trick thermal users into thinking your tank is dead

[ruby rain]

what about your own therms?

[eternal zenith]

yes, don't put it in front of your sights

Why not rifle

[ruby rain]

-Pekoe-Five-star General Orobasov: If you don’t use a plug-in, your mother will be fucked by a black man, right?

I didnt even do anything too crazy

[eternal zenith]

the joys of naval

[serene birch]

thats why you only repair or extinguish fires

one at a time cuh

you’re splitting your crew’s attention across multiple things

[eternal zenith]

figured a few battles later that this is how it works

[serene birch]

yeah lmfao

[ruby rain]

whats the SL reward % like?

in naval

[serene birch]

better than ground and air rb

but you gotta do wlel to feel it

[ruby rain]

dmn

[sturdy pulsar]

Doing well also depends in you knowing what to shoot and pray not to get focused by half the ebemy team

[leaden fossil]

Extinguish first, unless the damage is to your engines/rudder

[serene birch]

yes thank you cpt obvious

[leaden fossil]

[eternal zenith]

new year going well

[serene birch]

:c

[copper laurel]

[copper laurel]

you gotta spend money on it now

imo you should buy a pack

since they are on sale

they also give you some gold

spend gold on the mark

[eternal zenith]

eeh, ain't gonna feed the snail me thinks, partially because it only gave me giant maps this morning which means 5 minutes of flying in a tier IV plane to even get close to a kill

[eternal zenith]

#🎪bruh-fart message
quick tell me this ain't a T34 with taped on rubber skirts driving around in afghanistan or smth

[sleek fractal]

HORI made a Hotas in cooperation with WT

500dollaroos

I get the same with holding things in better quality for half the price

[eternal zenith]

for 400 I'd buy VKB or smth

||T16000 still goated everything else just cope||

[serene birch]

that word is funny to kiwis

basically was a slur to the Māori but recently (1990s onward) theyve reclaimed it and it basically means gross but in the same way youd think a redneck using a frying pan for multiple uses while ALSO cooking with it kind of gross

[sleek fractal]

Lol

[somber urchin]

Who the fuck is Hori

But yeah if its like 500 for some fuckin thing you can get like a whole winwing HOTAS for that

[sleek fractal]

https://stores.horiusa.com/

[somber urchin]

Oh they dont make flight sim stuff

they make generic gamepads

explains why they made it overpriced as hell

[sleek fractal]

yeah the stick itself is high quality but all the buttons are GARBAGE

[eternal zenith]

Is winwing good stuff?

[somber urchin]

Yeah

I use it

[eternal zenith]

tell me, is this funny? I kinda love it

[somber urchin]

Just got the MFD panels and buttons on christmas too

[eternal zenith]

can you link me the site?

[somber urchin]

https://winwingsim.com/view/index.html

[eternal zenith]

whoa, those buttons look siiick

[eternal zenith]

duuude

want to have a sleepover

how do I still get the itch for pushing buttons like I had when I was a wee lad

[somber urchin]

Monkey press button
Neuron activation

[ruby rain]

[eternal zenith]

I never sat in a jet but at this point I'm convinced the flight sim guys have higher quality sticks than real pilots

[somber urchin]

Probably cleaner

[eternal zenith]

unless at some point they go as far as to recreate the scruffy feel or w/e

so question: do you actually use this setup to play WT?

[somber urchin]

https://winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=374

[somber urchin]

Fuck no

[somber urchin]

This is my stick too

I play DCS

I would not spend 1000+ on a set up to play fucking snore blunder

If you wanna play DCS go get a t16000 or something

Actually its like 2k+ set up

Im not even rich just bad with money

[eternal zenith]

I doubt the game would even let you utilize half the I/O

[somber urchin]

Nah WT is decent with compatibility

Ill shit on WT when its deserved (often)

But WT is plug and play with pretty much anything

[eternal zenith]

that's cool

could you even display radar or w/e on these screens?

don't even know what you'd use these for

[somber urchin]

Not without specialist software for WT

They are only really usuable for DCS

[serene birch]

bro smh teams should be better

[mellow zealot]

[eternal zenith]

that must've taken a while

[serene birch]

much better

ew what the fuck

[sturdy pulsar]

Brother, are you farming with the T-34's vs toddlers?

jesus lmao

[eternal zenith]

the t34 comfortably houses at least 4 toddlers iirc

gaijoobles when

not a single kill in those 10 missions I've just been flying my plane into various obstacles the entire time

I want to thank my team, that lvl 100 F-4 pilot and the acadamy, thank you

[serene birch]

t-34 proto goes brrrrr

[sturdy pulsar]

Yeah I assume it was that one

I know a few T-34's sit in good BR lmao

[serene birch]

its the same br as the 1940 lmao

it absolutely demolishes in a downtier

very little can pen you and 90mm with HE filler is fine to kill 99% of things in 1-2 shots

sl at 3.3 thats funny

i got 40k from both of those matches

[sturdy pulsar]

I am one

Sometimes i get like

[serene birch]

i do it for the joy

[sturdy pulsar]

4 tanks in a flank

[serene birch]

and the occasional fanmail

[sturdy pulsar]

sometimes I try to flank and there's a random BT-5/7 camping

[serene birch]

i got fanmail from that match on carpathia

he was a britmain that i bonked 5 times h

he told me i was a waste of human space and a waste of my mothers milk???

the last one was a little weird ngl

[sturdy pulsar]

tbf

if you're camping spawn

it sucks lmao

Do wish matches ended faster in a different way that wasn't just "go shoot at people spawning in"

lmao

[ruby rain]

"fanmail" is a funny way to put it

[mellow zealot]

its the shit shell aswell

not the C

the 80mm pen

[sturdy pulsar]

ehhh I'm not sure

even if they fix 1 death leaves

if the enemy team gets a good push, you might as well GG

specially the higher the tier you are, since maps are so small and tanks get faster

[ruby rain]

Id say that 1-death leavers rather cause matches to end sooner and beatdowns. Spawncamping is bc maps are shit, and the unnecessary cas

[sturdy pulsar]

Yeah what I meant

And a lot of maps are either too open or closed lol

The too open maps have guys sniping from 2km showing 10% of their tank

And the closed ones you cant pusj or flanks cause people just hold an angle

And unless they whiff you die

Too open maps also suffer from funny edge of map flankers in a bush min 1

While your team lemmings B

[eternal zenith]

how did you get one? I forever regret choosing the german sherman instead of that t-34

[sturdy pulsar]

The worst part is when they arents on your spawn, its when they wait ahead

Same issue

Larger maps w current speed

Would mean more time to regroup

But would make playing way more tedious

Since getting on point, to battle, etc would take longer

Air RB moment

... Just buff the economy more

X2 rp for modifications, kthx

Well you dont reslly get to stay if your 2-3 spawns are done 4 mins kn a 12 min match

[mellow zealot]

just got teamkilled twice in a row by the same person in 2 different matches

[sturdy pulsar]

Omce I spawned 8 times

Lol

Still lost it barely sadly

[mellow zealot]

if i were to say whatever i have potentially said i would be banned from this server

[sturdy pulsar]

Air RB kills me

If you die after climbing

It feels like such a waste

[mellow zealot]

So True

i understand why people play high br planes

you just get in and die

[sturdy pulsar]

Yeah but what if in not spading those

[mellow zealot]

i wanna play my p51 once a while

or whatev else

[sturdy pulsar]

Also always get chased down by 2-3 guys when doing that or bombers lol

I play only AB noe

[mellow zealot]

sideclimb

[sturdy pulsar]

Yeah they come at me after sideclimb

[mellow zealot]

you gotta get rid of american aim

[sturdy pulsar]

And not much the Lancaster is going to do

[mellow zealot]

to play american

[sturdy pulsar]

[mellow zealot]

LANCASTER IS SHIT

BROTHER

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

i once saw a lancaster kill a 225

that was an EVENT

[sturdy pulsar]

Brother I wabted to spade them

[mellow zealot]

its dog shit

[sturdy pulsar]

So I could move on

[mellow zealot]

how the fuck

some guy died two times in ARB

[sturdy pulsar]

Imagine in my prime

I had 65% WR even in sim ground

ARB AB

GRB

Now its like

10%

I remeber 22+ kills in the P40 withouth dying in AB

[mellow zealot]

AB is genuinely more difficult than RB

100% serious

[serene birch]

yeah well their team decided to camp their own spawn, literally none of them pushed any caps really. all sat right near that tower

[serene birch]

10th year anni

I got both from it

I randomly woke up as a fluke at 3am and had a weird hunch to check the store since kt was the 10th anniversary

saw they had both limited

by the time I bought then the German Sherman had only 100 left and it jad only been on for like an hour or two lmfao

[sturdy pulsar]

True, the 5 guys chasing 1 dude

And divers spawncamp

Lol

[serene birch]

sucks that they had a shit team for once lmao i took advantage of that shit

[mellow zealot]

anyway i'll prob be getting the pz3 n

from that warbond shop

[serene birch]

even if it was only for the dopamine

[serene birch]

ew why

[mellow zealot]

cuz its lowkey op

[serene birch]

that thing is dogshit

[mellow zealot]

75mm heatlobber?

[serene birch]

sherman goes “haha bonk”

[mellow zealot]

with spaced armour?

it really isnt bad

plus im not getting the better rewards

rank 6 battlepass

[serene birch]

spaced armour that works against the very few heat slingers that arent german lmao

[mellow zealot]

its still another premium for free tbh

im not actually payying for it

[serene birch]

but spaced armour doesnt do shit against solid rounds which are a lot more common

id get something air to just grind sl ngl

[mellow zealot]

the h81?

that things shit

[serene birch]

fuck no ew

[mellow zealot]

and im certainly not getting the boat

[serene birch]

whats the boat

[mellow zealot]

im talking about warbond shop you big dummy

idk idc

[serene birch]

certain boats are p cracked ngl

[mellow zealot]

yeah but

idrc about boats

[serene birch]

and if it’s coastal its actually fun

coastal is fun, bluewater is a snooze nutsack dragging fest

[mellow zealot]

dunno

dont play

dont care

pz3n is ok

[serene birch]

aight have fun with that then

SKR is the most infuriating thing ive ever faced and the most fun thing ive ever played and i hate it

but i love it so

mhm

the fucking

egyptian boat from a battlepass or so ago

has GRAD ROCKETTTSSS

i managed to get a quad kill with them just launching into a cap point

hol up

Pr 183

shitty gun

but the GRRRRAAAAAAD is so fun

122mm of high velocity death

literally you can 1 hit corvettes with them

ya5m my beloved

ive gotten rocket kills with that too its fucking hilarious

[eternal zenith]

this update made a very nice change to protection analysis

/10

[serene birch]

m8s outta nowhere

[eternal zenith]

I've been killed by that thing

[mellow zealot]

this shit so israel ❤️

[serene birch]

fuck yo protection analysis real men get frustrated by seemingly bullshit shots until they do it themselves and find out that its just a fucking wonky damage model

[mellow zealot]

me hitting a bullshit angle and then having my shell bounce into a shot trap

(deserved kill)

[eternal zenith]

sometimes I just like to throw a 38cm rocket onto whichever tank made me upset

[serene birch]

triangle ontop of the T29/T30/T34 im looking at you

the amount of times someones hit that and it bounces downward into the squishy paper thin armour somehow and obliterates my anus is amazing

[mellow zealot]

i hit the hull on the leopard with an apcbc it just bounced into the turret did NOTHING except explode the ammo

[serene birch]

valid

[mellow zealot]

sploded

[serene birch]

sea harrier 🤢

gr.7 is goated, the king of ambushes

[eternal zenith]

whatchu hating my fav. 10.7 jet for?

[serene birch]

aim9m be like 🫥

[serene birch]

cause its ugly

[mellow zealot]

i hate jets ❤️

[mellow zealot]

yak-15/yak-17 my beloved

[serene birch]

the sea harrier is ugly and so is the av-8b

[mellow zealot]

brainless gameplay

[serene birch]

yak-15 is beloved but thats also a jet you silly goose

[mellow zealot]

i mean proper jets

[serene birch]

its still a jet????

it has a JET ENGINE

[eternal zenith]

okokok... I ain't unlocked no gr.7 yet
I'm working on it

[serene birch]

get it

[mellow zealot]

so

[serene birch]

its lowkey frustrating but when you finally pop off with it youll cream your bean salad

[mellow zealot]

its basically just a yak 3 with a jet

not like a mig21

[serene birch]

so are subsonic jets just not jets to you

[mellow zealot]

the yak 15 barely feels like a jet though

same like that swedish thing

mig9 feels like a jet

[serene birch]

??? tf

they certainly dont feel like props

[mellow zealot]

sure do

fast props

[eternal zenith]

I started yesterday at 08:00 with the Strikemaster and no progress in britain to grind Aviation mark. Currently I'm researching the Mk XVI

I hated on this Kiwi Jet at first

[serene birch]

they reeeeally dont

[serene birch]

its goated

[mellow zealot]

yes

[eternal zenith]

fr fr

[eternal zenith]

10x7.62 is almost like you fire a 76mm round into someone, right

[serene birch]

not me but my mate

up tha kiwis 🤙🤙

[eternal zenith]

and this thing turns like a motherfucker if you wiggle the flaps

[mellow zealot]

thought strikemaster'd be shit but it seems alrigh like

plus another jet at low br is funny

[serene birch]

trainer jet moment

[mellow zealot]

isnt it literally

yeah

[serene birch]

idk why everyone thought itd be bad

its a trainer plane

[mellow zealot]

cuz its a trainer plane

[serene birch]

theyre forgiving as fuck irl for a reason

they literally teach pilots how to fly why tf would it fly like ass

[eternal zenith]

makes sense

[serene birch]

its not great at anything but its not really too shit at anything either

[mellow zealot]

i love when people fly away for 6 minutes straight

[serene birch]

balanced all round

[eternal zenith]

now... Imagine if it got 2 gunpods with 50 cals on it

[mellow zealot]

and then waste fuckin time

[serene birch]

7.62 fn take it or leave it

[mellow zealot]

take an extra 7.62 browning fn wth you

[serene birch]

kiwis dont use 50cals those are cringe

[mellow zealot]

more firepower

[serene birch]

ive seen our lavs not a 50 in sight

[mellow zealot]

less recoil 🔥

[eternal zenith]

currently I'm trying to hit incoming planes with the heat rockets

I think it'd be hilarious to get that right

just like ... BONK

[mellow zealot]

you gotta get like real fuckin short fuses

[eternal zenith]

Ju288? bonk

short fuses?

Wait

what

[mellow zealot]

activation distance

[serene birch]

bro doesnt know rockets dont have to hit to go boom

[mellow zealot]

i mean

do you not know

[serene birch]

thats it

im playing the tog

[eternal zenith]

wait how do i set that

[serene birch]

when youre about to spawn in

[eternal zenith]

I thought that's special rockets

all those years I didn't bother

[serene birch]

smh

silly billy

[eternal zenith]

is that a meme

[serene birch]

you never trolled open tops by shooting at then and having it detonate a few metres above their head and absolutely wreck their shit?

[mellow zealot]

lmao

genius

my favourite is going in the mig17 standard

having those 2 fat rockets and just scaring people with them

[eternal zenith]

WHAT

[mellow zealot]

cuz they think its actual AAMs

[serene birch]

bros missing out

[mellow zealot]

you might be dumb

[eternal zenith]

ok, now real talk. Is this available on all rockets?

[mellow zealot]

yes lol

[eternal zenith]

are you sure sure?

[mellow zealot]

all that i can remember anyway

[mellow zealot]

i have never heard of those rockets

[eternal zenith]

kiwi ones

[mellow zealot]

yeah maybe they're shit kiwi quality

its like bomb fuses

[eternal zenith]

mighty mouse?

[mellow zealot]

maybe

[serene birch]

nah tbf I think it is only certain rockets

a lot of AP rockets dont have it

[eternal zenith]

but good to know this is a thing at least. Thought this is some proxy stuff

[mellow zealot]

oh yeah no i dont think AP rockets have it

oh apparently not all do

[eternal zenith]

which do for sure?

Sounds fun to try

[mellow zealot]

russian shit

[serene birch]

im gonna

[mellow zealot]

i swear all of them have it

[eternal zenith]

[mellow zealot]

definitely those fat rockets on more modern ones

[eternal zenith]

time to switch to russia for a bit

[mellow zealot]

yes

[eternal zenith]

ITP good for something

[mellow zealot]

i feel like itp is op as shit tbh

[eternal zenith]

it is

[serene birch]

good for making you reconsider your war thunder career

[eternal zenith]

in which way

[mellow zealot]

playing against it makes me suicidal

i need to stop being extremely gae on wt

[serene birch]

why would you bring the itp when the yak9t exists

can i quit now

[mellow zealot]

yeah

[mellow zealot]

yak9t shit

itp good

[serene birch]

what the fuck are you smoking

[mellow zealot]

1 50 cal (mid one) and 37mm

versus multiple guns + 37mm

wait i thought it had 2 50 cals

it has 2 20mms

yeah yak9t is shit

[serene birch]

yeah but one has extremely good maneuverability

the other is a fucking fat brick

[mellow zealot]

21s vs 18s

and thats stat card

i'd say for 2 20mm that really isnt bad

[serene birch]

yeah lets see how well you hold that turn radius

itp cannot rate fight

[mellow zealot]

cant agree

[serene birch]

also why are you believing the statcard

[mellow zealot]

"and thats stat card"

[serene birch]

yeah but fuck no the statcard ever

it says theres a certain fw 190 that can do 1 circle in 20 seconds

[mellow zealot]

sure

[serene birch]

there literally is 1 fw 190 that syas it can

(it cannot)

[mellow zealot]

yeah

[serene birch]

yak9t > itp

[mellow zealot]

nope

[serene birch]

itp is a fat brick slug machine

sure its good if you have backup

[mellow zealot]

plenty fast turns well enough

dunno man

[serene birch]

but if youre alone (which hey its war thunder thats 99% of the time)

it really doesnt lmfao

[eternal zenith]

itp is sluggish but it has funny 37mm

[mellow zealot]

yak9t has a shitty 50cal

[serene birch]

yak9t also has the 37mm

[mellow zealot]

dunno

[serene birch]

ok zeros are shit because they only have 200 rounds of 20mm and a shit 7.7

???

that dont add up

[mellow zealot]

what

[serene birch]

bro its the secondary gun

theyre not the god item you focus onnnn

the 37mm slaps

[mellow zealot]

yeahhh

okay

[serene birch]

50cal to ping targets and snipe pilots (or even open tops)

37mm to unleash hell on squishy lil german mains

[cold lichen]

Are Russian 23mm still ass?

Cause last time I used them, they just tickle the enemy

[eternal zenith]

wow

wait. is the 2 spawn map new?

[eternal zenith]

human AI

[copper laurel]

Man

Sometimes i play this game i get 2 3 kills a game

Other days i just get 8 kills a game

Last 3 days were the first type

I might just be a one death leaver

But thats because i cant use anything else

[serene birch]

yes

[sleek fractal]

Its a funny plane with tons of Gunpods

[mellow zealot]

They're great tf you mean

[serene birch]

O_O

main character energy

[cold lichen]

Ok, thats good to hear

For a while real shatter fucked them

[mellow zealot]

Dunno I've never had an issue with the 23s

[cold lichen]

Skill issue on my part then I guess

Tried the Su-11 out again

And it smacks booty cheeks

[sturdy pulsar]

I thought i was just bad

[mellow zealot]

game is bad yeah

[eternal zenith]

no, game is moderated by literal retards and their services are insecure af

don't spend money!

buy bp once and grind it to 125 out of spite every time

they just got ddos'd again

[sturdy pulsar]

What has that to do w moderation

Also im p sure theres uh no counter to being ddosd lmao

[eternal zenith]

they moved some of their shit to AWS but the profile servers got hit again cause they ain't done by professionals

[sleek fractal]

There is

Not renting Gameservers from Amazon

[eternal zenith]

it's not the aws servers that get dos'd

[sleek fractal]

They have all their Servers rented from Amazon

Most of them for EU are in the Netherlands

Just trace them and you know

Its really easy

Also Moderators are not really affiliated with Gaijin besides the few Idiots in the Forum like Stoner etc.

Mike and Oxy are the 2 breakpoints for the EU community that are really part of Gaijin

And there was a 3rd one which name i always forget

But that Dude is the biggest fuck of them all

[ruby rain]

Trixxxter? (or something like that)

[sleek fractal]

Nahh

Its a guy that keeps himself behind the scenes unless your a CC

Cause you need to talk to him to request stuff

[ruby rain]

I wouldnt know then

[sleek fractal]

Yeah im asking for the name rn

[eternal zenith]

wrong

traffic should all be either be moved through cloudfare at that level or they put the money they scam for good use and get actually decent hardware to deal with such attacks

[sturdy pulsar]

Metro is mad because he gets banned for saying racist things

[eternal zenith]

I'm mad at the game for getting worse all the time after putting literal thousands in over the years

[sturdy pulsar]

I would define getting worse

[eternal zenith]

they just greedy little fucks, also credit where it's due, the moderation speed is pretty good. Guy drops the n-bomb, 5 minutes later he can no longer write ... reporting tryhards is the best

Worse as in the complete transformation into gacha game, believe it or not it wasn't always this mfing bad

[sturdy pulsar]

Brother, i've been playing since 2011

[eternal zenith]

so you know

[sturdy pulsar]

It has it's ups and downs

the current downs are top tier balance

But it's top tier, it's clown in cars

Rank 3-4 tends to be the comfiest

[mellow zealot]

they fixed br compression only to ruin it again

im not sure its all that comfy

tiger 1 against is 3 is sooo cool

[sturdy pulsar]

Right Post War vs Cold Era

Late War*

[mellow zealot]

i love going up against 70s tanks in my dogshit t-54

[eternal zenith]

I don't even care about balancing cause that filters by skill issue. I want these god damn predatory event schemes to die out

[mellow zealot]

etc etc

[sturdy pulsar]

You are not forced to do em

[eternal zenith]

I don't have to play the game at all.

this is more a issue with the f2p scene in general

[mellow zealot]

i can do just fine as a f2p lel

[sturdy pulsar]

F2P's won big post eco changes

[mellow zealot]

i dont think i ever had problems as a f2p

matter of fact, i just bought 180d of premium
without spending any actual money

[eternal zenith]

[mellow zealot]

it really is that simple

[sturdy pulsar]

Metro stop maldging

[eternal zenith]

I will never

[sturdy pulsar]

if I can spade tanks with an average of 2 kills per game

I dunno

[mellow zealot]

some tanks are just shit

simple as

[mellow zealot]

i mean at that rate you'll get shit spaded in 5 years

but yeah i guess you can get it spaded

[sturdy pulsar]

Shrug, spading = researching + bonus RP

[mellow zealot]

not wrong

but still

[sleek fractal]

https://warthunder.com/en/news/8686-server-attack-and-compensation-on-january-2nd-en

[eternal zenith]

so it was the auth servers. Good on them for extending time again

[eternal zenith]

Let's see if they will increase time some more

[wind star]

Ok so the Ariete (jet) is still bonkers

Chunking 20k RP per match out of the AMX

[eternal zenith]

you logged in rn? Which continent?

[wind star]

32 deaths to 202 kills

[wind star]

EU innit

[eternal zenith]

76% winrate ... I need to get my numbers up man

[wind star]

guns guns guns

as we speak

Ended it with 6

Just a fucken mean aircraft fr

Printing SL like a crim

[sleek fractal]

Ariete

[wind star]

Feasts on fuckwits big time

[sleek fractal]

Its funny they nerved the shitty Italian Sabre because of good Players proving a point and never nerfed the Ariete

[wind star]

Terror of the Sky farming

Its very quickly becoming one of my most used Italian vehicles

Just baiting supersonics into an energy trap and then just lapping them up

Fellas, whats the shittest air RB map, and why is it Pyrenees

[eternal zenith]

explain how a energy trap works

[wind star]

You manage your energy / speed better in less aggressive turns, whilst baiting an enemy into performing maneuvers that bleed their speed

An example would be diving to the same level as an enemy aircraft, to try and get them to follow you into a climb, so they stall

Hence 'trap'

[eternal zenith]

[wind star]

Also ignore fuckwits who say energy fighting is only for certain fighters, a fast / well managed A6M is far more fucking terrifying than a slow turning one

At tiers 6+ is where energy fighting becomes more knowledge based than 'skill' based

[haughty hollow]

people who say energy fighting is only for certain fighters have no idea what theyre talking about

energy is always a good thing to have, you're always going to fight on energy, some aircraft can manage low energy better than others, but every fight is an energy fight

[wind star]

Exactly this

If youre higher and faster than anything below you, youll have a significantly easier time

[haughty hollow]

^

[haughty hollow]

ariete is one of those rat planes I've been looking to get my hands on. as soon as I finish up my Israeli tree I'll probably either end up grinding Italy with it or grinding China

[wind star]

Its an all or nothing aircraft tbh, its absolutely oppressive when at 8.3, but nigh useless against someone who knows how to fly at 10.3

I imagine the only reason im eating well atm is cause im lapping up new premium players

[haughty hollow]

ah yeah, I'd assume fast shit like the mig21smt and j35ds would be annoying as hell

nvm the f-5s, but I imagine those are more easily managed

[wind star]

If people could fucking fly the J35A/D properly, you'd be shit out of luck

I personally think the J35A is 10.0 material

Those who disagree dont understand its capabilities, and its literal only weakness is that it sees R-60Ms and 9Ls

[haughty hollow]

dude i love the drakens so much

with good positioning, most of the things that carry those all-aspect missiles can be avoided, and the flight performance is still insane despite the FM changes

still kind of salty they didn't add the J35J considering they had the model ready before deciding to replace it with the XS for sweden's r7 premium. would've been a nice tech tree addition

[wind star]

Its one of the most fucking annoying aircraft to face when uptiered

If the pilot isnt a moron and doesnt bleed their speed, theres very little one can do against it

Its faster than the Phantoms and MiGs, the only thing that gives it a run for its money is the Kfir

[haughty hollow]

are the j35a players still dumb around that BR? I'd imagine since it was taken off of sale for a while most of the people playing it are people who have had it for a while

what am I saying? these are premium players lmfao

[wind star]

Fucking idiots fr

Hur dur plane turns well

Like yeah bro its also the fastest jet at 9.7

[haughty hollow]

draken players when they realize the only thing they have to do is go in a straight line to completely avoid death: 🤯

[soft oracle]

I love dodging AIM-9Bs

[wind star]

Dont tell them that, I cant touch them if they do that

[haughty hollow]

feeling quite mischievous

[wind star]

Honestly so many players dont realise that just because a missile is on its way you can just fucken run

Witnessing so many silly buggers turning even tho a launch of a 9E is 4km away

[haughty hollow]

one thing I love doing in flareless planes like the mig19 and j35s is bait A-10s and SU-25s into launching their missiles

they think it's an easy kill

so they launch it at some silly ranges and you just bleed it of energy and missile goes poof

[sturdy pulsar]

L

[sleek fractal]

also what happened to the moderna price wtf

he died lel

[sturdy pulsar]

[sleek fractal]

2A7V soon

[sleek fractal]

nah for his racist remark

[sturdy pulsar]

No spades?

[sleek fractal]

on it

[sturdy pulsar]

Let's gooooooo

man that's a fuckton of RP

[sleek fractal]

Yeah iirc i even killed some BVM´s with it

[sturdy pulsar]

it's like 340k total including the bonus damn

LMAO

[sleek fractal]

its says down there

281k

[clever jacinth]

https://i.imgur.com/BVZI5S2.png

want a laff

[sleek fractal]

[sturdy pulsar]

I can't count, 281+ the bonus RP is not 360k

[frigid carbon]

average 13 year old on discord

[sturdy pulsar]

it's like 320k

[sturdy pulsar]

Incredible

[sleek fractal]

???

what is 320k

[sturdy pulsar]

281k+ spade bonus RP

per each tier

Sorry I am dumb at explaining

[sleek fractal]

yeah but why do you count the spade bonus into the module EXP i need for spading ?

Thats what i wanna know

[sturdy pulsar]

I'm counting as the "total RP" you'll get out of the vehicle when grining somehting else

so agian, I'm just stupid lmao

one thing I learned about the bonus RP is that it doesnt' care about tiers

[sleek fractal]

Yeah it doesnt which is nice

here comes the fun part

it doesnt matter

[sturdy pulsar]

XD

[sturdy pulsar]

opened 1 crate

Tiger 1 Talisman

nice

[soft oracle]

Time to gamble

[native cypress]

i could gamble with 20mio SL

would be funni

then i would be broke

[ruby rain]

do just 10M

"just"

[sleek fractal]

ayeeee

[sturdy pulsar]

Why

[jade cargo]

I am in the US mid tier grind

such a pain

do yall recommend arcade or realistic? I get fucked either way though

[serene birch]

realistic

arcade is cringe

[jade cargo]

difference is in arcade i get fucked faster while i gotta wait the 3 minute travel time to g et fucked in realistic

[serene birch]

youll get better in realistic and then youll do the fucking

[jade cargo]

I'd do a fucking tiktok dance if that'll get me more silver lions man. I really don't care anymore

[serene birch]

arcade youll always get fucked because 50 people will eat your anuk

[jade cargo]

that's valid

alright

[serene birch]

if you want sl play coastal

shit is bussin bussin fr

[jade cargo]

oh okay. never really played that one. looked boring af lol

[serene birch]

bluewater is

coastal is not

its just fast paced action

[eternal zenith]

arcade is poopy diaper

[eternal zenith]

what tanks are those

[hollow pelican]

[eternal zenith]

street looks like Gaza

or i guess middle eastern at least

are those merkavas with cope cages?

[jade cargo]

So I got the US M109A1 and unlocked the pf rounds for it

What use is the pf round? I tried it in test drive and yeah it blows up above the tanks, but it does minimal damage. Akin to .50 cal

[eternal zenith]

plane thinking SPG is easy target
plane gets turned into falling burning metal by the 155mm proxy shell exploding 2m near it
profit

also pretty much all tanks at that BR don't have enough armor on turret roof to be safe from being shot by it

[jade cargo]

so it's best used againts planes?

[jade cargo]

yeah i noticed that vehicle specifically have vehicles that are not what i see in games. in the test drive range, the enemy tanks are like cold war era tanks

[eternal zenith]

keep in mind that the fuse gets triggered by barrels so try not to aim straight on allowing it to explore further above the turret

you can also try and shoot it below a tank to get the crew through the floor

but ground does trigger it too, doesn't really work after they nerfed it

[eternal zenith]

best used against fast light tanks since they are hard to hit with the non proxy shell and it don't matter if you overshoot

also keep the arming distance of 300m in mind, up to that distance it's just a HE shell

[jade cargo]

oh okay

thanks

[eternal zenith]

I first used proxy HE in the Bkan and there it was a complete menace to anything not packed by ERA

[jade cargo]

I finally got 1 kill with it on a tiger E

[mellow zealot]

That just says that cus you can still spawn in but afaik it doesn't crew lock

Cuz it's a backup not an actual spawn

[sturdy pulsar]

Aah aight

[mellow zealot]

Also I just realized how expensive the moderna is

The one fudking time I don't feel like grinding an event

[sturdy pulsar]

Was it the army men/craft events?

Honestly that's like the one type of event I hate lol

Idm the mission points one

[mellow zealot]

I forget cuz it's been a while

But I know I wasn't super far off by just playing, didn't feel like properly farming though

[sturdy pulsar]

To be fair, getting spawcamped 2-3 games

does that to you

XD

or when you spawn, drive 50m off spawn

and get CAS'd

incredibly fucking infuriating

[mellow zealot]

Meh just gotta play a br that isn't shit

[sturdy pulsar]

It was 1.7

[mellow zealot]

Issue is teammates who are too retarded to realise they're being camped

[mellow zealot]

Tough

That Swedish aa is shit

[sturdy pulsar]

the AAA is not good at that tier with Sweden

Yeah

3 whole mags

[mellow zealot]

Mhm

The pbv is usable

The 40mm truck is meh

The anti is pretty much op tho

When you get the ap belt

[sturdy pulsar]

The 40 truck is more like an AT

and yeah the Anti and the VPK or whatver

are also AT

[mellow zealot]

Haven't tried the thing after

Didn't get far enougg in sweden

[mellow zealot]

It recoils hard is the issue

The anti is pretty stable

[soft oracle]

First swedish AA is actually tank destroyer

Haven't ever used it as AA

[sturdy pulsar]

Ah, I was dead during that

[sturdy pulsar]

Until you can't side on a Pz3

[jade cargo]

I am finally where the US tanks can shoot shells that don't bounce off every Soviet and German tank

That 75mm and early 76mm gun tiers were fucking god awful

[serene birch]

??? M61 is goated

[haughty hollow]

US 75/76 is based

[sturdy pulsar]

Are you shooting at the T-34 slope

[haughty hollow]

Especially the 76mm, M4A3 is an absolute fucking blast

[serene birch]

if you struggled to pen panzer ivs and t34s with m61 thats a massive krill issue

[sturdy pulsar]

American 75 eats Panzers and T-34's

[serene birch]

M4A4 my beloved

[sturdy pulsar]

Are you shooting at the driver's hatch on the t-34's

I forget which spot was just like, a massive bait

I know T-34's get slapped in the turret ring

[serene birch]

Italian lineup is literally M4 and Pz IV G at 3.7

nothing else

and I rarely run out of spawns

oh wait the new thing is also there

big ass pz iv h copy p much

[sturdy pulsar]

Turan 3?

[serene birch]

yea

that thing is based as fuck especially with the armour buff it got

[haughty hollow]

AMX-50 Surbaisse is so much fun man

[serene birch]

do you have the somua

[haughty hollow]

Nope

[serene birch]

somua and amx-50 together is fucking mean to everyone else

imagine lorainne 40t but with armour

[sturdy pulsar]

Somua is terrifying

[serene birch]

the amount of helis ive absolutely bonked with it is worrying

[haughty hollow]

Lorraine 40t, amx50, surbaisse, somua

[serene birch]

mhm

[haughty hollow]

French 7.3-7.7 is ungodly powerful

[serene birch]

best lineup in 7.7 imo

better than the disgusting british 7.7

strv, mk5/1, cent mk3, the weird uparmoured turret premium one

[haughty hollow]

Real

[serene birch]

now time to play more tog

[haughty hollow]

I missed the tog. I was playing other games at that time

[serene birch]

i had fanmail from a jumbotard, he tried to rush me and i just put one in front plate

[haughty hollow]

Lmao

Thankfully I didnt miss the Sturmtiger

[serene birch]

i sleep on the sturmtiger, i just find it soooo boring and the multikills are few and far between

its in my lineup for 5.7-6.7 tho always because its good for spawncamping nerds

[haughty hollow]

Sturmtiger gameplay be like: rangefind tank. Shoot at tank. Miss ( ) waiting for reload

Repeat

[serene birch]

rangefind nerd

[haughty hollow]

I like to play the sturmtiger at ranges where my rangefinder is actually useful

Its pretty decent at range (as long as they dont move out of the way)

[serene birch]

stare at cappoint that is .75km away and you have a decent view on, rangefind to 750 see red in cap, fire, sometimes profit

[serene birch]

mostly just this is the issue (them moving)

[haughty hollow]

Also how is the andryusha still at 4.0

[serene birch]

cause :333

same reason the panzerwerfer was 3.3 for ages despite it being unable to kill 99% of things

gaijin no care about your rocket feelings

[haughty hollow]

reall

gaijin really does have something against rocket vehicles

[serene birch]

theyre stinky thats the main thing

the RBT-5 is p goated tho

[haughty hollow]

Lmfao i've never played that thing it looks so silly

I need to at some point

[serene birch]

99% of time youll take stray shrapnel and explode

[haughty hollow]

[serene birch]

1% of the time youll get a crit with the rockets

100% of the time its fun cause BT

[haughty hollow]

True

Still need to get my hands on that one BT with the f-32

[serene birch]

the temptation to buy something from the market rn with some of these weird vehicles being sorta cheap compared to their usual pricessss

[haughty hollow]

Yeah

The su-57 (truck)

Is a pretty good buy

[serene birch]

thats not a market vehicle you dork
