I killed a fucking abrams

[noble perch]

hands down the worst game ive ever had

[pseudo zealot]

Context on why I find it funny as fuck:

I actually missed, the round went under it, ricocheted off the ground and penetrated the bottom killing the entire crew.

[fluid trout]

ive had that with APDSFS before, it's always like "fuck, I- wait that worked?"

[pseudo zealot]

It was APCB from a Dicker Max for me.

[fluid trout]

vid loading

[pseudo zealot]

I got no idea what kind of meme I pulled

[fluid trout]

i got lucky as hell in this clip

[pseudo zealot]

Jesus

[fluid trout]

hindsight clearly wasn't the stabilizer's fault

operator skill issue

[pseudo zealot]

I dont have enough willpower to get to at least 8.0

[fluid trout]

highest tech tree i have atm is 11.0 japan

[pseudo zealot]

The highest I got is 4.0

[fluid trout]

and playing the game at all anymore solo just makes me furious

[pseudo zealot]

Germany

[pseudo zealot]

Mood

[fluid trout]

i htink my germany is at 10.3

tech tree

france i've got 6.0, china barely touched, italy i'e got 2.3, usa i think is 6.7, russia is up to almost 8.7 iirc

uk i think is like 8.0

i got a lot of shit from friends about how spread out my trees are

but hoenstly i don't care

darts get boring quick and some of the maps are just bllshit.,

why does big tunisia exist?

literally awful map.

[pseudo zealot]

Mood

[serene birch]

i poked my head in here for the first time in yooonks and realized. i havent played WT in like ages

[hollow pelican]

You're missing out!

[serene birch]

i havent played in so long i didnt even realize they made it so i gotta get another rank 7

[hollow pelican]

The beginning of the end

[serene birch]

can i even be fucked TRYING rn

naaah i think ima play some low low tier

[hollow pelican]

smart

Or play 5.3 Germany

[serene birch]

tbf i do need the new SPAA germany has

but idk if i can deal with the german brainrot rn. teammates are a bit TOO dumb

wtf did they do to the panther 2 and tiger 10,5

[potent ravine]

Got sent to shadow relm, maybe back as a pre or event vehicle

[serene birch]

no i mean why are they 7.0 again

[potent ravine]

Money

[serene birch]

what sorta fucked up lineup am i supposed to use

[potent ravine]

Slightly building tension then release it as a pre

[potent ravine]

Just slap in a tiger 2 and an m41

[serene birch]

ew

[potent ravine]

Works quite well, or get your self a mini leopard at 7.3

[serene birch]

tiger 10,5 at 8.3??? noooo thank you

[serene birch]

this is cursed as shit

[potent ravine]

Get a ru 251

[serene birch]

have it and im not uptiering the poor tiger 10,5 to 8.3

bradleys are gonna snack on it for lunch and the t-55s are gonna garnish it with a bit of "fuck you get fucked german boy"

[potent ravine]

Then the long 88 gremlin

That shit is 5.7 and slow af but hey, it have an electric traversed turret and the king tiger 88

[serene birch]

i tried so hard to like the trager but jfc idk i suck with it in particular lol

[potent ravine]

Just learn the map then use the high ground advantage since there is little to none shit can survive a direct blast from the long 88

For the weird shit like the t26e5 then just shoot at the hull mg port

[serene birch]

cant you just pen its turret? (well from closer ranges anyway)

[sleek fractal]

My favourite boiiiii

And not even spaded

[serene birch]

i can stomach about 1-3 games weekly of germany LMAO

except for that brief period the Panther F was 5.7

then i fucking smacked ou so many games

[potent ravine]

Nope, unless you have apcr

Apcr actually does dmg now so bring a few just in case

[serene birch]

p sure you can pen the jumbo pershings turret with the 88 at like close range

[sleek fractal]

Yeah they buffed it some years ago but people still refuse to use it

[serene birch]

just aim for were the MG is??? or maybe the uhhhh periscope

one of the two

[dense nymph]

Whens the big cannon bean launcher event

Churchill

[serene birch]

when ur wiener explodes

[dense nymph]

It's gone

I trimmed it today

[potent ravine]

T26E5 turret is much more armored than a normal pershing turret

[dense nymph]

So it regrows by the end of the month

Whens the bean launcher event

[serene birch]

ye but its still weak around the periscope and MG area, plus the top of the mantlet is flat and thin

[serene birch]

5th

[dense nymph]

Ty sir

[potent ravine]

And it fucking weird design make penning it at weakspot is pretty much rng

So i would not recommend shooting it at the turret

[serene birch]

idk always worked for me when fighting them in tiger 2s

[potent ravine]

Blow them in the hull is easier since it's hull is less armored and the area around the hull mg port itself is quite weak but hey, if the turret works for you then great

[serene birch]

lowkey wish theyd bring back "weekly" decals

[dense nymph]

I had issues with the t34(US) turret in the king t

Usually it'd pen but sometimes my round would just vanish

[ruby rain]

is this thing on the T92 even worth using?

[cold lichen]

1032m/s is nice for a heat round

[soft oracle]

Yes

[ruby rain]

still less than the 1257 m/s of the APDS and less pen

[cold lichen]

Yeah but APDS, from my experience, is very unreliable.

[ruby rain]

and how reliable is HEAT...?

[rare phoenix]

it always pens

iirc apds is really underpowered rn

[noble perch]

pens the armor but tickles the crew

sorta feels like it at times

[noble perch]

Is there an option to disable the thing where it adjusts ur camera when switching from the scope to third person? ive gotten killed so many times when the barrel just starts aiming at the fucking sky for some reason

idk how else to describe it

when ur near walls/cover

[sleek fractal]

@ruby rain friend of mine drives the Petard on Stream rn

That churchill Mortar thing

Its so useless xD

Its way worse than the AVRE

[ruby rain]

Does he have vods?

Im busy rn

[sleek fractal]

i can clip it later and send it i guess

if i dont forget it

his streams are like 9 hours long

[ruby rain]

It'd be nice

[sleek fractal]

https://wiki.warthunder.com/special:GameObjectView?object_id=uk_churchill_avre

Do you know how those wiki links work ?

Or do i have to explain it ?

You can test it yourself that way

[ruby rain]

Something about having to be logged into wt live with the acc I play on

[sleek fractal]

Not WT live

Warthunder Wiki

Be logged in there,have the site open,open game,click link while in Hangar

When it doesnt work,relogg in the wiki

[ruby rain]

Ok. I'll try it later

[ruby rain]

@sleek fractal damn this thing sucks

actual max range 130-ish meters

what else could you do with it than rush cap?

[pseudo zealot]

Got a VK 3002

Finally

The meat and potatoes

[zealous sphinx]

Couldn't understand how the god damn mig21s-r13 guns work. Just realized and got instant 4 gun kills

[rare phoenix]

damn i really hope it gets buffed

(the avre)

the reload seems really slow

shouldnt its velocity be around 70m/s

?

[sleek fractal]

Its still WIP til a few weeks

Basicly when you can get it

[cold lichen]

It's true...

[noble perch]

When does the french tree get good?

Somewhat good atleast

[cold lichen]

ARL-44 is pretty nutty

And mainly when they get their auto loaders and high as fuck pen guns

[sleek fractal]

Next update with Benelux Vehicles

Oh you mean BR wise

Around 5.7

If you complain at 7.7 i will throw a Brick at you

[noble perch]

man its just horrible at the early brs

[sleek fractal]

Indeed but after 5.7 it gets GOAT

[cold lichen]

It I'd indeed, the goat

[noble perch]

How does it compare to the British tree?

[cold lichen]

Uhhhh

British does really get good until like 8.7

British solid shot kind of stinky

[somber urchin]

Britain never gets good

Mirages are now one of the best Jets.

[noble perch]

i will single handedly bring down the french winrate 😈

buffs incoming

[copper laurel]

Unironiccly

That isnt that bad

Would still probably wait for the sale anyway

[ruby rain]

HOW THE FUCK ARE TIGER 2'S NOT 7.0???????

THE GAME IS SO SHIT BUT THE BRAINDEAD NAZI GERMAN ENTHUSIASTS ARE WHO THE DEVS LISTEN TO???

fucking hell

[sleek fractal]

Ehhh wtf?

[ruby rain]

I just got pissed off that a Tiger 2 outreloaded me M46 after firing b4 me.

[ruby rain]

Bur isn't it true that lots of shit players flock to Tigers and 'tank' their stats, therefore their are at too low of a br?

[sleek fractal]

Nah they are perfect at their BR's

Its true Germany Players are shit but noawadays every Nation has those Garbage Players

They distributed evenly when every nation got a high tier Prem

Also M46 ... you got HeatFS to easily yeet the Tiger 2

Or APDS

And with 150 Ace crew you always got a big advantage

Its a p2w feature basicly since you can just buy crew points

[soft oracle]

Lmao again

they really want me to play brits

[soft oracle]

quickest sim match

[noble perch]

does anyone elses protection map just randomly stop working at times? like the green areas just dont show up

[dense nymph]

Does vehicle rank affect the speed at which you get score for events?

Nvm

[sleek fractal]

Yes

[ruby rain]

No use when I get ufp one-shotted b4 I can reload.

• I don't have a single crew above even 90

[sleek fractal]

yikes

But yeah expected at that BR

[ruby rain]

my best crews rn

@sleek fractal

[sleek fractal]

11.3 and not even a Crew over 100?????

[ruby rain]

is that abnormal?
don't forget, I play f2p

[sleek fractal]

Yes even for F2P

Do you spade every single vehicle?

Get all modules because of the FP boost

RP*

[ruby rain]

most get spaded while researching the next ones

wait imma check

[sleek fractal]

Well ok the issue is you dont play planes

Cause Planes are done with lvl 75 crew and then you start spending those points on tanks as extra

You dont even lvl to 75 cause a whole niche is for Gunners

Basicly useless

[ruby rain]

yeah as soon as I'm done with a lineup, almost all tanks are spaded (except for SPAAs and those I didn't like)

• I can't afford to Expert or even Ace all my tanks so crew lvl doesn't even matter

[sleek fractal]

Its the most important aspect of the game,your Crew survives more hits,you repair way faster and in many cases your reload gets shaved off like 3-5 seconds

[ruby rain]

so fucking annoying

a tank's stat card will say it reloads in 9.3 sec but ingame the enemy fucker reloads in like 5

[sleek fractal]

Its ridicioulus for Air.You get pilot sniped with 7.7mm

Full ace pilot tanks 1 or 2 20mm hits

[sleek fractal]

Abrams Ace crew lvl 150 5,3 seconds

[ruby rain]

thats just retarded

[sleek fractal]

Its the only p2w aspect in WT

Guess what i did when Israel came out

Instantly put a crew on lvl 150

[ruby rain]

there have been at least two instances when I moved out of cover to shoot at a Tiger2 only for them to shoot me

and brother those were significantly less than 9.7 seconds!!

[soft oracle]

Lmao

[jade cargo]

As a US main, I used to fear tiger tanks at 5.7-6.3. Now when I play mid tiers, tigers are a treat

Tiger players are usually just the dumbest creatures

[ruby rain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWcCL95xGTc

@sleek fractal thoughts?

they should have done that to helis first

[sleek fractal]

im following it for a long time

Its really better they do it for tanks first

On Helos its not as complicated

Its about time they do it

[ruby rain]

did they say they'll do it to helos? I forgor

[sleek fractal]

iirc they will do it to every Vehicle

At some point

Planes already got it for a long time

like Fueltanks,hydraulics and such

Tanks now gonna get it

Ships also already got it

Il guess Helos get it after Tanks

[ruby rain]

ships??

"WAAAA I can't kill every player with impunity WAAAAAAA"

[sleek fractal]

Dont make such statements cause i know you dont play planes

In most cases you did 0 damage with a direct hit of a missile

It needed to be worked on.

[ruby rain]

GOOD

[sleek fractal]

Start playing it yourself and you will notice it aint as easy to get kills with planes especialy at that BR when AA spots you over 20km

Also i love shooting these missiles down xD

You can lock em with the radar and either spray them or get em with proxy fuse.

[ruby rain]

Oh yeah in 1 - 2 years I'm sure I'll notice it

[sleek fractal]

[noble perch]

cas bad

[eternal zenith]

Tier IV germany. Hop in a Ostwind II and slap CAS buns. Trust me

[ruby rain]

@sleek fractal, I humbly present a clip

[sleek fractal]

and ?

i do not know what it has to do to with grinding planes.

[ruby rain]

nothing. Its my 2nd nuke

[sleek fractal]

Ah very nice

To many more to come

[ruby rain]

thank you
you too!

I even had a RP booster on, 150%

[noble perch]

impossible, you're supposed to get 0 kills and 0 assists every time you activate one of those

i missed this one chat, am i fucked now?

[sleek fractal]

you can buy it

699 GE

[noble perch]

of course you can

[eternal zenith]

I'm really torn with this thing

on one hand... it's a 50m/s mortar launching 231mm bombs called Ptard. On the other hand it's a churchill

[sleek fractal]

on 2.7

Theres not a lot that will outright kill you

[eternal zenith]

64mm pen so it really don't matter

can bring this baby into 11.7

[sleek fractal]

If you get close enough

or use the 3rd party tool a dev made

It will calculate for you automaticly on screen + on mini map how high you gotta aim to shoot

iirc it even adjusted your sight from alone

[soft oracle]

Get STukad

You cant aim

after 200m it self detonates

[sleek fractal]

yeah you cant aim with that shit

[soft oracle]

Max range is 200m even after abusing terrain

[eternal zenith]

Didn't we talk about this before?

how it's technically breaking TOS

[sleek fractal]

its not,they cannot ban you for it

Thats the joke about it

they will though.

[eternal zenith]

they can't ban you sure but technically it falls under the blanked don't it?

[sleek fractal]

yep

[eternal zenith]

what you mean by that?

[sleek fractal]

You could argue that your using simple math but not that fast xD

that they still will ban you if you use it and give them replays to show on Thundershow xD

Which happened

[eternal zenith]

they really need to fix range finder for this to be viable as more than a meme car

[eternal zenith]

arguing that players be too good to not be a cheat?

[sleek fractal]

Its using simple math to calculate where your pointin at and ranging your sight on it.

In mere seconds.

If you use a Brummbär and snipe 4 people from spawn to spawn your definetly doing shady shit

[eternal zenith]

actually why I haven't submitted any of my Sturmtiger and Kartyshka replays. People be retarded thinking ranging in the spawn points means you're cheating

[sleek fractal]

especialy if you send that replay to Thundershow and people know your using that Tool and ratting you out

They cant detect it thats what their so pissed

but they did a good job to supress distribution of it

[eternal zenith]

for spawn to spawn you don't even need a tool

[sleek fractal]

i mean i just had a guy asking for the price of my cheats cause my replay is yellow lol and he thought its actual in the game

[soft oracle]

This is surely bannable
https://github.com/Yonisen/WarThunder_Yellow_Mark_Rangefinder

[sleek fractal]

oh damn

definetly xx

[eternal zenith]

wait, doesn't this also use the map data

[sleek fractal]

[soft oracle]

Overlay

it is explained how it works

[sleek fractal]

damn my clip got 2k views in 13 days

it had like 600 after 4 days

i should start making WT content as long as the algorythm loves me.

[soft oracle]

Cheat called Skill
Price 15k hours

[eternal zenith]

this one doesn't use any other data than the map interface provides

[sleek fractal]

Its simple loopholes i dont know if they got something in their TOS by now about assisting Tools

Cause in that regard they even have to ban reshade users

[eternal zenith]

yep

[sleek fractal]

Which happened iirc due to easy anti cheat

[eternal zenith]

their attitude to assist tools is so garbage too. Asked for extended support for hearing impaired cause my nephew likes to play tank games but can't really compete with people sneaking and my post was deleted with a nice message from the forum mod warning me about discussing cheating tools

[soft oracle]

Is there any web apps like this for Squad?

[sleek fractal]

what the fuck ?

[sleek fractal]

i think not

[eternal zenith]

other franchises do disability support, snail being all ableist about it

[soft oracle]

hmmm

[eternal zenith]

By now I've come to terms with them barely vetting their mods

[sleek fractal]

Gaijin does tons of shit wrong towards their customers cause its working

WE could have really good comp or SQB modes

ranked

[eternal zenith]

if you want a distance tool just get the tampermonkey plugin for the browser map

[sleek fractal]

proper shops with proper rewards

they wont do it cause the current approaches work

and the fucking Gaijin Store makes them sooooo much MONEY

[eternal zenith]

last year they were #2 software company by revenue in Hungary

I need to figure out how to procure tax info

[sleek fractal]

People complain about fucking SL or CAS ..... they dont complain that theres shitty rewards for SQB or being competetive at all cause most People just play mindlesly random games and cash in

imagine ranked where you earn points and got a shop where you can cash these points to get any Event vehicle instantly redeemed

ofc it takes a decent amount of time to get one

BUT IMAGINE

it would attract so many people

[eternal zenith]

tie that to a condition that it can't be traded

to deter bot farming further

[sleek fractal]

i wrote instantly redeemed

[eternal zenith]

oh right

yeah that'd be cool

[sleek fractal]

will never be coming and if we get ranked in game it will be just like the tournaments

you get boosters and shit

[copper laurel]

squad calc?

[soft oracle]

Squad MC

[copper laurel]

oh

you mean for wt

[eternal zenith]

now WT being gagoons cashcow is clear but does this game have a future?

[sleek fractal]

it has

in 13 years we came from 2k peak time players to nearly 200k

[eternal zenith]

I'm trying to come up with a way they can potentially ruin it

cause right now it's printing

but they'll find a way to break it

[sleek fractal]

They ruined it the last years til the brought the roadmap

Yeah stupidity will always find a way

[eternal zenith]

It's a shame really, without the greedy bullshit it's a good game

[sleek fractal]

it would be simple if they restricted premiums on the BR youve reached

[noble perch]

man, spaa should be able to rearm at spawn

[eternal zenith]

what spaa you playing?

[sleek fractal]

they want to introduce rearm spots outside of Cap points

[noble perch]

VTT DCA currently, i dont have an ammo shortage with that one but.....

with this one i def run out alot

[sleek fractal]

basicly a gepard

relatable

If your not cautious you really throw your ammo out

[soft oracle]

AP is enough

60 ish mm of pen

4kg of explosive apparently

[sleek fractal]

never 4kg lol

[soft oracle]

It is

likes to overpressure

[sleek fractal]

that must be a writing error

[soft oracle]

Yes writing error

it says few grams instead of kg

the way it spalls and explodes

[eternal zenith]

this one is really great for anti tank actually

[sleek fractal]

just like every Gepard ^^

[noble perch]

i tried a couple of times but failed miserably

[sleek fractal]

FOUND IT

why DM13 for the Gepard is so good

also funny that their clantag was GEPRD

[eternal zenith]

since no gepard has any proximity or working AHEAD shells you have a hard time hitting targets far away

bait jets into flying close if you can, once they strafe you overhead you can ruin their day

and yeah the t-72 pattern tanks really suffer once you get close and see the side

[eternal zenith]

what would you say you should aim for with russian tanks, upper track area?

taking the barrel out is also a good start

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/bM1Jl.gif

[sleek fractal]

LOL just shoot next to their Barrel

if their still bugged you can kill em via overpressure

or just shoot them in the side obviously

[eternal zenith]

you mean that HE bug were you aim close to the breech / beginning of the barrel?

[sleek fractal]

Yeah

So you overpressure the enemy over the Breach

[eternal zenith]

so default belt or HE

[sleek fractal]

DM13

the AP belt actualy

[eternal zenith]

doesn't it only have 1 in 4 HE only?

thought the overpressure bug relied on explosive filler

[sleek fractal]

yep but thats what works.

[eternal zenith]

huh, interesting, explains a couple kills i got using the dm13

[sleek fractal]

also you can still take the barrel with it,if it isnt working

[eternal zenith]

top tier AA is a pain anyways unless you got SAMs or proximity shells

glad I finished grinding sweden before they nerved the VEAK

[sleek fractal]

they nerved the york to death

i will never forgive them

[eternal zenith]

york?

[sleek fractal]

Sgt York

M something something

[eternal zenith]

oh the US veak

[sleek fractal]

https://wiki.warthunder.com/M247

[eternal zenith]

I recently started playing it more again and I'm quite happy with it

how did they nerf it?

[sleek fractal]

iirc they changed proximity range to 0.1m

Begleitpanzer too

[eternal zenith]

hmm, could it be that was a bug?

[sleek fractal]

its proximity was changed to 0.1m

pretty fucking shit

they might fixed it on the York and i didnt see but on the Begleit its still the same

[eternal zenith]

cause it shows as 4m still and I had a couple matches last month slapping K-50s out of the sky

[sleek fractal]

Ah good good

Then i will keep crying only about the Begleit

[eternal zenith]

I like the bagel alot too

the 57mm proxy made it pretty much the proto 2s38

Give it spikes, darts and better IR optics

call it begleit A2 or something

10.3

you ever try bringing this one into 10.0+?

it's HEAT must be bugged

one shot a Leo2 PL the other night and felt bad honestly

something like that, slightly below turret and it pens all Leo variats with crews getting overpressured to shreds

[sleek fractal]

[eternal zenith]

whats a funny meme tank I could play?

[copper laurel]

hmmm

lemme thing

t55e1?

do you have that one

you could do churchill]

[eternal zenith]

no I missed the event

such a fun gun tho, you had them everywhere for months after it dropped

[soft oracle]

Shell got stuck on my morser

[sleek fractal]

This

https://youtube.com/shorts/PrCqv9fnToM?si=Kg6KKJQGPPXCzYOy

This is actual bullshit lol

he probably uses that marker thing

uses the drone to spot,then just shoots his grenade launcher

[eternal zenith]

looks like he ranged it in prior?

great idea, need to try this at some point

[eternal zenith]

did they change the decal premium shit?

I ain't got preem active yet I can put 4 decals on my tanks

[sleek fractal]

You can get a thing on Premiums that you can equip them

under modules

after that and that much RP on the vehicle you unlock the slots

[eternal zenith]

oh mark of distinction

that checks

france ground review so far at 5.0: Mid but better than Britain

[spark spindle]

4.7 britain is balling

[noble perch]

meh, i liked the sherman firefly but thats about it

[ruby rain]

the cruisers were fun afair

[eternal zenith]

I like how the churchills tracks make it near invincible to clueless players

and the tog at 5.3 is so hilariously busted

[noble perch]

183 mm cannon bismillah

are there bigger ones in the game?

[eternal zenith]

not really

the sturm is a rocket pretty much

anything larger than 155mm is approaching howitzer / artillery territory

pretty much all 150mm+ cannons are actually artillery weapons

exception being a couple tank destroyers and the 292

avre counts too I guess

[rare phoenix]

the sturmtiger

[sleek fractal]

is also just a demolition weapon

[rare phoenix]

big explosion

[sleek fractal]

shoots a big rocket

also common wrong fact

[ruby rain]

GhazhinAreSmokingCrack #863905

[sleek fractal]

it didnt have to be reloaded via crane

They reloaded it from the inside

the crane was to get the rockets into the tank

[sleek fractal]

The HE filler made your tank go booom

[ruby rain]

yeah sure, as if shooting the breech like that will kill a russian tank

[ruby rain]

what about the other clip?

[sleek fractal]

what other clip ? With the IS3 ?

[ruby rain]

yes

[sleek fractal]

your shot definetly did not hit the barrel but also not where it hits one the cam

probably server desync

[hollow pelican]

Well yes

You do know thats dev server test changes

[ruby rain]

but why tho?

[sleek fractal]

Cause their fiddeling with the damage etc

[ruby rain]

Aussie Abrams soon

[eternal zenith]

why even bother with it?

so far everytime they did something cool in dev they most likely ended up fucking it after pushing it to production

or rather the way it felt on dev never quite translated

[sleek fractal]

cause ATGM damage is completely random atm

either you delete the target or you do jack shit on direct hit

they changed it to make it kinda OP on the Dev

Now they reverted those changes and removed it so people wont make any more "CAS IS MORE OP" videos

[eternal zenith]

I wonder why they struggle with it so much

[sleek fractal]

cause they still work on it

Tarkov problem

Spaghettie code

its all a calculation its prone to have issues

[ruby rain]

you mean the usual gameplay

[sleek fractal]

Its like with your desynced IS3 shot

it has to calculate your vehicle,the other one,each shot,location and so on so forth

Servers are rented from Amazon

EU Servers are sitting in the Netherlands

i miss the times where when you played with 200 ping on US Servers you were near invincible due to delay

You were able to kill 2 or 3 planes until their shots registered on you and you died

[ruby rain]

I also have a clip in which a 2S1 shell flies past me but explodes and kills me anyway

[noble perch]

havent reached that far in the german tree

[eternal zenith]

like all CV90s, good mobility. bad armor but the engine might save the crew at times

[soft oracle]

It is okay

No IRST slow reload after firing the shots and you don't get any proxy useful HE rounds

40B way way better

[fluid trout]

I didn’t even look into it yet what caliber is it? From initial glance it looked like a 20mm but might be perspective because merkava hull

Ah 30mm and spikes. Could be scary, but spikes aren’t consistent so who knows

Frontally strong against APDS, wonder how it’ll do against auto cannon darts.

[eternal zenith]

IF they manage to implement it the greatest thing about this will be the adjustable turret height

that's something I wanted for a long time

[fluid trout]

Oh that’ll be devious. Peek over cover and duck back down with an unmanned turret

But idk if it’ll happen. Probably just get a duct tape solution of adjustable suspension

Turm 3 can’t gets 3 axis stab because engine limits

[eternal zenith]

"engine limits"

[fluid trout]

Well just have to see if they can do it

[eternal zenith]

linking the turret control to suspension control would be a good solution

trust us bro

yeah idk

[eternal zenith]

nah, KNDS should know their shit

gimme 140mm leo

[noble perch]

was about to say, warthunder player knows better than actual tank engineers

[ruby rain]

mby the gun package includes some kind of strengthening of the turret and turret ring/hull

[eternal zenith]

I just like how they drop this as if it's no big deal that the 140mm has roughly double the muzzle energy of the L55

I wonder how much they charge for one of those

[ruby rain]

292 but good

[eternal zenith]

no thermals and commander aiming

you know what I really want in WT since forever?

The lights / blinkers don't work on any tank

how do they image us players neatly enter formation if nobody can turn on their signal lights?

do they just expect us to use NVGs to drive around at night?

utterly insane

I need to see the replay for this. If the shell bounced and rebounded this would be hilarious

[hot hull]

I was curious myself so I dug their server replay up and I am even more confused now

It's like they got killed for hurting friendlies but there's no such thing except that you get booted from the match

But you can't hurt other tanks as a tank

???

[eternal zenith]

I think the shrapnel from the HEAT actually knocked out the crew (2 out of 3)

your own shells can hurt you under certain conditions

maybe there's some desync magic too

shame there's no kill cam

or they just J'd out?

[hot hull]

Was way to fast to be able to J out I think

Considering they died the exact moment the round impacted the M103

[eternal zenith]

if you time it, make it just so people start scratching their had how it might be possible

[sleek fractal]

Which will be over buffed over bullshit

[sleek fractal]

Ehh the actual leopard pic ?

the text under that ?

its all about mobility

[ruby rain]

yes

[sleek fractal]

mobility
Tactical mobility is another important aspect that determines the operational capability of the Leopard 2. High speed and maneuverability enable the tank to react quickly to changing combat situations and maneuver effectively. This requires a powerful 1500 hp engine, efficient power transmission and a robust yet responsive suspension to ensure good off-road mobility. The increase in capability and the resulting increase in weight were taken into account by adjusting the gear ratio of the final drive. In addition, advanced control and navigation systems are used to facilitate vehicle control and optimize tactical mobility. The ability to quickly overcome water also contributes to the Leopard 2's high tactical mobility. It is capable of wading up to 1200mm deep and with a diving shaft up to 4000mm deep without any preparation.

[ruby rain]

where just the turret is shown

[sleek fractal]

The Leopard 2 MBT's strategic mobility refers to its ability to be moved quickly and efficiently over long distances for rapid global deployment. The system is designed so that transport by road, rail, sea and air is possible at any time. In addition to requirements for the material and its individual components (such as climate and environmental resistance), this also results in restrictions for the maximum total weight and external dimensions of the system. The Leopard 2 can be transported using all of the above-mentioned means of transport and therefore has high strategic mobility.

[sleek fractal]

oh

thats all effectiveness

mainly how the guns work

laser rangefinding

self protection

basicly APS

and communication

i aint shoving all those down google translate now xD

[ruby rain]

I mean I can use google translate too

[sleek fractal]

its accurate

[ruby rain]

I meant just this

[sleek fractal]

left text is direction of gunners attack angle

red line is basicly that the commander can controll the gun and direct it at a target

and that right line is where the commander is looking at

So you got the gunner looking at front,Commander sees target at right and can move the turret via push of a button in the direction he looks at

just like we got it in WT already

[ruby rain]

oh

so

[sleek fractal]

Thats really how it works

god motherfucking damn

+50% on the vilkas, +60% on the LOSAT... should've bought some 292s

now to sell the ptard on release or play it

might sell a single losat and buy like 6 of them for 5 gaga coins each

if it had 4 times the range i bet it would cost 30 gjn in the future

I forgot about this but behold the 75mm swedish hillpeekerfarten

not as powerful as the 150mm tank destroyer but I absolutely love it's profile and ability to barely peek hills and then snipe people

[noble perch]

pain

[spark spindle]

I almost skipped jumbo completely. Lately I gave it another try and did pretty good in it. At least as long as I was playing against soviets, german guns hurt a lot.

[noble perch]

was thinking 5.0, full downtier from the improved panthers seems fair

considering theres fuck all you can do against them

[noble perch]

oh yeaaa baby i love "ground" battles

literally died 3 times to aircraft this game

[ruby rain]

Who are those "people"?

Initially calling it "combined arms" is just a classic russian deception method to have plausible deniability. Whenever you play the game normally the gamemode is called ground

Cas is there to annoy players into grinding air and eventually paying up, bc AA is only like 40-70% effective

[noble perch]

[ruby rain]

also those fucking stupid 12 and 10 k lb bombs have NO PLACE in Ground

they were only used against static targets

factories, bunkers and static defence structures

[spark spindle]

I kinda like aircrafts but they are way too cheap to spawn. They could double the spawn cost and the game would be still full of planes.
