well they were chilling near our airfield, they attack me, I was shooting them with my tailgunners, hit them both a ton, I land heavily damaged, they shoot me while it was resupplying (I die), then one of them crashed

you should have invincibility or something while on your airfield

cool, I bomb a base, then a fighter shows up and one taps my wings

got 2 hits on him and then just instantly left wing is gone

got shot down by enemy base AA at 4km

wasn't even hitting me but still shredding

amazing

I hate planes

and I think all I got was 566 RP

[eternal zenith]

Anti air artillery works like that

[ivory garden]

when do I get that in the ground tree

[sleek fractal]

If you dont move at spawn you got like 2 minutes spawn protection

[sleek fractal]

When you get an AA with proxy fuze

[sleek fractal]

Learning something new everytime i write to you

[ivory garden]

I'm learning some new things but do you mean you're learning new things?

[ruby rain]

spawn protection should be position based

(lose protection only upon leaving the spawn area)

[eternal zenith]

I'd abuse the shit out of that

[sleek fractal]

That was being abused the shit out of in Alpha

[ruby rain]

unkillable SPAA

[sleek fractal]

You are

[ruby rain]

how?

[sleek fractal]

Map design was more shit but you are able to shoot from spawn to spawn in some maps,also as you said unkillable spaa

You cant really controll it

I would just stay at spawn with an MLRS and spray the whole map with it lol

Since they going to introduce rearm areas and one will be at spawn for Spaa i guess

[ruby rain]

"back in alpha"

Hehe

no way what

[sleek fractal]

one second

https://forum.warthunder.com/t/the-seek-destroy-wallpaper-uses-the-explosion-of-the-space-shuttle-challenger/119716

full explanation

and context

[spark spindle]

Sometime, I like to chill in WT just with an anti air lineup and a nimble fighter plane. I like when there is

[half falcon]

art maker was a lazy bastard and instead of using it as reference they just copied it basically 1:1

[sleek fractal]

they shouldnt have used it at all

[half falcon]

i mean, you can use it as inspiration without copying it

its kinda like how half life and other games did their burned body models/textures

[sleek fractal]

next they use 9/11 as inspiration for explosions in buildings or what ?

[half falcon]

it'd be fucked up if they just 1:1 copied an actual burn victim

[half falcon]

they prolly have

not in wt obv but other games

[somber urchin]

You guys are gonna be so mad when you find out what Panzer 4s and F-16s did IRL

[somber urchin]

Half Life developers

[sleek fractal]

not really

Im german you forgot ?

But its funny that they fuck up using plenty of AI art

and even when a human being does it

[somber urchin]

I think you missed my point

[sleek fractal]

Yeah cause there was none.

[somber urchin]

Someone is cagey today

[sleek fractal]

what does that mean ?

[somber urchin]

You have google

[sleek fractal]

Im pretty chill and full with lasagna

Durchtrieben ?

That makes no sense

[somber urchin]

My point was that you guys are getting upsetty because a part of that image involves some kind of tragedy

[sleek fractal]

were not upset

[somber urchin]

while completely disregarding that everything playable in the game was designed for one purpose, to kill mfers

[sleek fractal]

Were still not upset

[somber urchin]

you sound a little upsetty

[sleek fractal]

It was an example

[somber urchin]

Upset doesnt mean crying all the time it can just be unhappy

[sleek fractal]

Yeah im not unhappy with it

[somber urchin]

oh ok

[sleek fractal]

Just pointing out that theres plenty of people pointing out they are unhappy which leads to Gaijins fuck up

Which i find quite funny

They dont check their AI art and not even the Art created by Humans

If you look closely you can even see how badly its made

[somber urchin]

I know WT is badly made

I have played it

[sleek fractal]

You can see they just cutted it out and put it in the picture with cut marks

[somber urchin]

[sleek fractal]

Only thing really making me unhappy are the shitty Fox3 and Radar changes

You cant evade them flying low anymore cause you need to be 60m above sea lvl and after 80m you kiss the ground

if you manage to fly 60m on sea level theres nothing to obstruct radar

[somber urchin]

I really hope WT players start understanding that
"Oh wow I cant wait to shoot at people from 60nm away itll be so fun"
will IMMEDIATELY be
"Wow this game is bullshit this guy is shooting at me from so far away"

[sleek fractal]

Yeah the maps and overall gameplay isnt made for that

especialy the team sizes

The regards wanted it and i do hope too they realise its garbage

it was garbage when they introduced missiles at all

Takes away all the skill dogfighting requires.

[hot hull]

I love the new top tier air meta

[hot hull]

Notch, go cold

easy as pie

[sleek fractal]

Good joke

[hot hull]

In close engagements you would die regardless of fox3 or not so theres nothing new there

Idk what else to say. I really enjoy fox3 engagements

[ivory garden]

I mean personally; bit sad they used the challenger explosion as a graphic but again, it's a cool explosion

[sleek fractal]

Cause its just flinging mindlessly missiles around xD

If you use them in close engagements your definetly the odd one out

[hot hull]

As if it wasnt always like that with IR missiles

any missiles in general

[sleek fractal]

You can flare IR missiles easily even wiht IRCCM

but IRCCM adds a lot of RNG

its 50/50 if flares work

[hot hull]

And you can evade radar missiles by turning your plane around

[sleek fractal]

I know

But turning aint that easy

[hot hull]

it quite literally is that easy

[sleek fractal]

Especialy when your in a one way canyone or ravine where they shouldnt acquire a lock onto you at all

[sleek fractal]

Ok then turn into the wall

[hot hull]

Dont be in that situation in the first place

[sleek fractal]

You need to be otherwise you instantly get 6 locks

And if you get multiple locks from different directions notching wont work either

Truly your the first one saying the Fox3 meta is nice

[hot hull]

Thats when you look at the rwr, place the missile warnings behind your plane and go that way

Missile will bleed all of its speed and detonate

[sleek fractal]

Im playing since 13 years and talking is always easier than doing it

[hot hull]

I talk the talk and walk the walk

I have also played 13 years

[sleek fractal]

Yeah and yet notching hasnt worked

Chaff is ass but worked a few times

[hot hull]

Because its a shitty netcode

thats why you gotta go cold

away from the missile, not sideways

[sleek fractal]

I go cold crashing into mountins,trees or walls usualy

or i bleed to much speed turning and got multiple F16 on my ass

[hot hull]

Thats your fault for going right into furrballs

[sleek fractal]

what furrballs

You avoid every confrontation til your whole team engages

The issue just is shit like this and the seekers going rogue

[hot hull]

I avoid every conforntation with a whole group of allies or not. furrballs are a death sentance regardless

better stick outside and launch missiles into them slaving missiles with the radar

[sleek fractal]

That is all not the issue

the issue is that they made notching or evading radar lock virtualy impossible

The 60m change was such garbage cause at 80m minimum you kiss the ground.

[hot hull]

How have I had a roughly 80% survival rate by simply turning around when I get launch warnings

[sleek fractal]

I can lock you with my radar even if your 1m above ground

[hot hull]

You can be at 8000m and dodge missiles, just turn around and go back the way you came

Then turn back around when the missile is dead

[sleek fractal]

The issue is that its not how its supposed to work

And so far it didnt work

[hot hull]

I mean, it works for me

[sleek fractal]

Good for you.

[hot hull]

So it does work, if it should work or not, it works

[sleek fractal]

It does not.

It needs to work consitantly to say it works

It does not work consistantly

its like chaff

Chaff never worked properly

But sometimes its a miracle

[hot hull]

In my current experience, it works consistently

[sleek fractal]

In my current experience it does not

vote against vote

we need a 3rd party

GAH now i close tarkov

you made me try it again now

[hot hull]

I guess youre just doing it some way differently, which dont work

[sleek fractal]

Nah mostly if im getting engaged its usualy already at close ranges and if i turn around the enemy is like 5km above me

a fox 3 is by then fast than me

[hot hull]

In that case, yeah

youre screwed

[sleek fractal]

Since i swoop in from the side or hit the silly side flying bombers

Notching just worked but because it wasnt a Fox 3 xD

ok back to Tarkov im happy with notching again

smh shit works again

[sleek fractal]

you did not ask even once what im playing

imagine i would have played a Tornado xD

Mig-29G

[hot hull]

Well the tornado is fucking ass for top tier

grinding the F.3 Late was the worst mistake ive made in a long time in war thunder

[hot hull]

Well, you got shitty russian RWR so you got that working against you. only russian made plane ive played this update so far has been the su27

[sleek fractal]

German RWR

They changed the Radar to a Nato one

[hot hull]

Right

[sleek fractal]

They changed a lot of the internals in it but its still a Mig29 without Fox 3

"The MiG-29G had been upgraded with NATO-compatible communication and navigation systems, making it fully interoperable with NATO forces. The MiG-29G was also equipped with Western avionics"

[crude ruin]

what yall think of china? i want to grind it but i dont know

[sleek fractal]

one of the better Nations

You start with the best of the US and Russia

Then you get their own overbuffed stuff later on

[crude ruin]

i mean i got hellcat rn but idk about the cold war

[sleek fractal]

Its getting better and better.

[crude ruin]

aight

[serene birch]

yeah china is p solid

[crude ruin]

well time to grind

😦

[serene birch]

is-2s, t3485s and m18s in 1 lineup with p-47s as your cas????

disgustingly great

[crude ruin]

im not CAS player anymore

i used to but nah it aint for me

[serene birch]

no easy sl for you then

[crude ruin]

i abused premium DO 335 for CAS back in the time

that was great

[serene birch]

so continue

[crude ruin]

hehehe

[serene birch]

you killed a few more tanks than you died 😭😭

but yeah ik how good that is

i used it in air rb and wiped the floor with F2G players when it was spammed

[crude ruin]

you know what i loved to do?

bomb fraging the planes

that 500KG bomb can kill plane really good

[serene birch]

you really shouldn’t get low in the 335 unless you have to

[crude ruin]

yup

[serene birch]

even when doing cas things just dive in release and go up

[crude ruin]

yup

well thanks for the tips its time to get mig21 mf

[serene birch]

based

love that jet

[crude ruin]

heard a lot about it

[serene birch]

staredown time

its honestly a pretty good jet

you just cant rush in and try and snack on everything because you dont have all aspects

[crude ruin]

:/

[serene birch]

but its fine its quite fast for its br

so just zoom in and zoom out of furballs

[crude ruin]

seems fair

yes that mig 19

[serene birch]

yooo hella based

i got so many 7 kill games with that

[crude ruin]

how

HOW

[serene birch]

climbing

zooming down

zooming away like a rat

and also played it before the dark times

before the warthog

[sleek fractal]

Mig 19 is based

Your superior to everyone or at least you was a long time

[serene birch]

my KD used to be so good in it and then it got ruined when so many all aspects and etc joined the fun

[crude ruin]

yeah

just got full uptier

[serene birch]

was something like 90 kills to 24 deaths or something

[crude ruin]

[serene birch]

now its like

[crude ruin]

damn

[serene birch]

100 to 60

[crude ruin]

43k

and i can die

[serene birch]

ngl i still need to GE the swiss hunter

[crude ruin]

i got it

[serene birch]

hunter with flares and 9js

[crude ruin]

but i didnt bought it

[serene birch]

you should prolly get it

its kinda goooood

[crude ruin]

love it

[serene birch]

poor man

[crude ruin]

oh really?

[serene birch]

yeah hunters are disgusting

i have a clip somewhere

[crude ruin]

level 11 btw

[serene birch]

of me solo’ing 4 av-8as with the fga.9

which has no flares

[crude ruin]

but yo u are pro with planes not like me 😢

[serene birch]

i just dodged their 9gs back when you could

[serene birch]

im not a pro by any means

ive just played this game for too long

[crude ruin]

first played it in 2014

then i lost my pc got and started playing in 2018

[serene birch]

been playing consistently since 2014 the only break ive had was like roughly 2016 for almost a year

[crude ruin]

nice

[serene birch]

and well now i guess

i havent been playing as much except dicking around in customs

[crude ruin]

yeahh

you must have some good events tho

[serene birch]

i trolled some nerds in it recently by playing some shitty lowtier

they bullied me in their SPS-Ks

[crude ruin]

hahah

[serene birch]

then i just AMRAAMed them when i got bored

[crude ruin]

you know whats supresingly good?

222 in 10.0 ish

[serene birch]

da hell is the 222

object?

[crude ruin]

nah

[serene birch]

very confused brain does not compute

[crude ruin]

this badboy

[serene birch]

oh i just play the puma version that

faster in reverse 😭😭

[crude ruin]

and when you dont move

they wont see you

its like you are push or rock

they wont see you

i might hhave clip

[serene birch]

its a lot bigger than the 222

but yknow goes the same speed in reverse as it does forward

[crude ruin]

yeah

this also good xD

[serene birch]

ive actually gotten a kill on a top tier with the stubby 75mm puma

i bonked an leclerc with it

[crude ruin]

sorry for spotify

[serene birch]

its alg i can barely watch it anyway its buffering every 2 seconds because my work has basically enough reception to message people

[crude ruin]

ah

killed fiat and object 120

the object was like 30M from me

[serene birch]

yeah i can sorta watch its just very slideshow esque

how fucking blind was that object 😭😭

[crude ruin]

🤣

[sleek fractal]

Downside of this you get Jack shit

[crude ruin]

godmod

30k

[serene birch]

unless you take it high enough where you can get god mode

[sleek fractal]

Wow godmode

[serene birch]

tbh god mode aint a bad thing

[crude ruin]

if you had a shit match and have noting left why not

[serene birch]

30k for a vehicle that costs maybe 200sl when you die

[sleek fractal]

Yeah but if you made those kills with a prem you get nore SL

[crude ruin]

exaclty

[sleek fractal]

And RP

[crude ruin]

screw that

that aint funn

[serene birch]

you dont get more than 30k per kill

maybe if you get more kills sure

[sleek fractal]

Nah but you get RP

[crude ruin]

nah

222 goes brrrrrrr

[serene birch]

what about if you’ve researched everything

[crude ruin]

hehe

[sleek fractal]

Also the 200sl cost aint no valid point

[serene birch]

what good is rp other than getting frre tp if you even use it

[sleek fractal]

Will never happen

[serene birch]

??? ive done it

[sleek fractal]

If you got premium you cant make minus SL

[crude ruin]

this is also funny xD

dont say this isnt funn

[sleek fractal]

I also got everything german but doing stuff like that is still rather ehhhhh???????

[serene birch]

man if you die in a vehicle like that 222 youre not gonna lose much SL maybe 300 at the most but youll easily earn that back in a game without godmode so when you do get a godmode its just extra SL whats the big deal 😭😭

[serene birch]

having fun is ehhh????

[sleek fractal]

We got a different Perspektive of fun

Thats just it

[crude ruin]

i dont enjoy the game anymore

im just there for the grind man

[serene birch]

no wonder people rag on WT tanks so much people dont wanna have fun

[crude ruin]

and doing 222 stuff

[serene birch]

no you must play the exact BR youre aiming for no exceptions

[sleek fractal]

Not exactly

[serene birch]

https://tenor.com/view/papers-please-papers-please-cobrastan-is-gif-26826247

[serene birch]

my brother in christ im mocking you

[sleek fractal]

2.0 br differences should be fine

I know

Im cooking

[serene birch]

cannot tell if german or acoustic or both

[crude ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/war-thunder-cas-pantsir-s1-man-i-love-doing-cas-gif-1729034677181102844

[sleek fractal]

Anyway most people troll with that shit and aint as effective as you

[serene birch]

if both you really lucked on out the humor

[crude ruin]

guys chill its only game

[serene birch]

:3 whats wrong it only has automatic leading and is effective up to 20km away

[crude ruin]

fuck em russian bais

[sleek fractal]

Thats why i think rhey should lock MM if your vehicles are further apart than 2.0 BR at Max

[crude ruin]

stalinium and secret documents

[serene birch]

i mean gaijin has already stated they have no intention on doing that on forums before

[sleek fractal]

Yeah because they deem godmode as a usuefull reward

[crude ruin]

but its not easy

[serene birch]

theyre fully supportive of god mode and im glad it means they still realise this shit is a game and not just 24/7 serious competition simulator

[sleek fractal]

Just remember that 90% of the playerbase is regarded

Then it isnt a good idea anymore

[serene birch]

sure it is

cause lets be real how many people do you genuinely see rushing top tier matches with low tier vehicles at the same time in the same match

[crude ruin]

gotta lova that A6e tram

gotta love it

[serene birch]

not very many you might get 1 per team and even still its usually a backup vehicle to be funny

[sleek fractal]

A lot

[serene birch]

at the same time? extremely big doubt

overall? sure

[sleek fractal]

At least 1 per team

[crude ruin]

damn

[serene birch]

thats

[crude ruin]

ive seen like 1 player for 20 battels

[serene birch]

did you READ what i said

[crude ruin]

and thats becuse his friend brought him there

[serene birch]

how many people do you see AT THE SAME TIME

[crude ruin]

wait

[serene birch]

max ive ever seen was 4 but they were squadmates in m22s

[crude ruin]

ive got a clip

[sleek fractal]

Lately a lot cause Youtubers doing that shit again

I havent seen a prop in hightier lately

[serene birch]

from the few matches i’ve played it seems no different to usual 1 person every so often doing it

[crude ruin]

my friend brought me to tip tier ish

i was panther G

and i one shot a t80 from front

i was happy

[sleek fractal]

Lel

Good shot

[crude ruin]

yeah

but it wasnt funn

we lost

[sleek fractal]

Dude didnt even react

[crude ruin]

dont bring low tiers in top tier it sucks

but when you can pull it out you are boss

[serene birch]

i bring small ones just to be funny and scout

[sleek fractal]

It depends really on how good you are in WT

Most people just Handicap the team

[serene birch]

like the teams arent already handicapped by the 1 death quitters

i just dont care when playing anything higher than 8.7 tanks now

[sleek fractal]

Thats why gaijin gives free coupons

[serene birch]

i play to fuck around

not to do well

[sleek fractal]

Whoever thought about that should have been fired

Yeah i stopped caring to

[crude ruin]

coupons?

[sleek fractal]

The respawn things

[crude ruin]

ahaa

[serene birch]

i just remember when they tried to remove everyones backups by having them expire

[sleek fractal]

Backups thanks

[crude ruin]

i have 300

[serene birch]

the shitstorm that followed

[serene birch]

ive got like 1500

[crude ruin]

damn

[serene birch]

literally do not use them

[sleek fractal]

Yeah they pile up

[serene birch]

dont really need to

[sleek fractal]

Soon you can exchange wagers etc for stuff prolly 10 Warbonds

[serene birch]

when i do end up using them i have usually earned more than i end up using

[sleek fractal]

Gaijin is not interested into making anything interesting for plsyers

[serene birch]

ngl these mini vehicle events are interesting

[sleek fractal]

Good comp Mode with good rewards? You wish

[serene birch]

not too grueling to achieve

[sleek fractal]

Its an endless slog

Yeah their easy to do but non stop

[serene birch]

idc if they dont stop coming its free premium vehicles at this rate

[crude ruin]

btw do you also hate the new UI?

this is what i mean

[serene birch]

yes

i keep clicking the shit that opens up that stupid fucking menu

[sleek fractal]

When its a low tier one

[serene birch]

so

low tiers earn you good SL

[sleek fractal]

People get burned out fast if you gotta play non stop to earn them.Thats my point.

[crude ruin]

yup

[sleek fractal]

It turns into a 2nd job again

[serene birch]

i played like

10 matches a day

and got the AVRE

just play planes where you earn 6k points in like 10 minutes

[crude ruin]

avre is shit

[serene birch]

im a collector

[crude ruin]

why would anyone exp it jesus

[sleek fractal]

Your build different as we already established.Myself and most people i play with didnt take long either

[sleek fractal]

But were not the majority

[crude ruin]

what a shit tank

why would anyone grind it

[sleek fractal]

Its fun though

[crude ruin]

yeah it is xD

[serene birch]

i just collect shit

[sleek fractal]

At 2.7 its really fun

[crude ruin]

it is

[sleek fractal]

Matilda Hedgehog

Also still tons of fun

[serene birch]

hedgehog is still so gross

A.C. I

yum yum

[sleek fractal]

Just empty the mortar and people keep firing at it to Blow you up lol

[serene birch]

yep

i launch it as i get to cap points

even easier now that you get told exactly how fsr cap points are

0.2km and boom empty it

lands right in the zone

[serene birch]

god i hate german track design

its so fucking uuuugly

[copper laurel]

I KNEW IT

I FUCKING KNEW IT

YOU WERE TOO FUNNY FOR A GERMAN

[serene birch]

wrong hes a german

[ruby rain]

I don't hate it but...
it was wasted effort

[ruby rain]

So much ground pressure that they have use overlapping wheels

[eternal zenith]

German tanks are aesthetically more tank than anything the soviets ever put out

I hate the T-34 with a passion. It's so ugly

[hot hull]

Absolutely

[cold lichen]

🤨

[eternal zenith]

bro's cooked

[ivory garden]

sometimes my gun just doesn't shoot

the barrel is fine, the gunner is alive

and I'm spam clicking staring down the barrel of some other tank and then they kill me because my gun doesn't shoot

[eternal zenith]

means your aim is out of alignment with the camera

[ivory garden]

it's looking at the guy though

I know what you mean by the aim isn't aligned

but its aligned

I don't shoot till it's lined up

[serene birch]

average czech person though

[eternal zenith]

high ping or package loss?

[ivory garden]

I blame internet

it just happened again

[serene birch]

whats ur PL

[ivory garden]

PL?

[serene birch]

packet loss

[ivory garden]

idk

[serene birch]

the thing next to ping

PL: #%

[ivory garden]

idk where ping is shown

[serene birch]

botton left

[ivory garden]

6%

[serene birch]

thats why

anything more than like 1% is enough to fuck up your input

PL is how much information you “lose” when receiving and giving to the server

[ivory garden]

well it was 14% for a bit there

very cool game thanks

[serene birch]

what server are you playing on

[ivory garden]

so I have an actual reason to blame my internet now

[eternal zenith]

anything besides 0 is crap

[ivory garden]

idk how to check, I know I'm only in north/south america timezones

[serene birch]

i dont touch SA at all because the asian servers suck despite them having the best ping for me the PL is awful

[eternal zenith]

you gotta check your connection fr

[ivory garden]

my internet is longlastingly bad

it's always been shit

[serene birch]

das why i said anything higher than 1 is bad 😭😭

when youre back in the hangar

click the gamemode

and it should show the servers yoy connec to

if youre american id only connect to the US servers

as a kiwi i connect to EU and US cause theyre the primarily english servers that have a pretty stable connection even if the ping is higher than the SA ones

[eternal zenith]

gagoons routing is also hilariously bad, if you have the ability to connect to a VPN try open a Dutch connection and your ping and PL will most likely decrease

[serene birch]

very based

but also id not even risk using a VPN with how trigger happy EAC can be

i remember a friend got banned cause of some off brand mouse software (no different to like steelseries one that lets you customise your rgb)

[ivory garden]

I hate planes

[eternal zenith]

shoot them down

[ivory garden]

I drop my 2 bombs on some marked tanks, a bomber out of nowhere shoots my wings down instantly

and then the round ends before I know if I hit the tanks or not

whole round we were being spawncamped by some panzer hunter too

guy had 11 kills before we got him

[serene birch]

use the C key combined with the mouse

[ivory garden]

[serene birch]

utilise your oculars

spot da plane and evade its guns

[ivory garden]

I was in a bomber

[serene birch]

so

[ivory garden]

"spot"
"evade"

have you fought planes

they just shoot you

[serene birch]

yea

[ivory garden]

if you are a tank, they just shoot you

if you are a plane, they just one tap the wings

[serene birch]

i literally have most air trees maxed out 😭😭

[ivory garden]

I've had fighters mow down my medium tank

[serene birch]

what bomber specifically are you using

[ivory garden]

B18A

it's usually quite tanky

[serene birch]

no bombers are tanky but the B18 is a great BnZ troller

[ivory garden]

BnZ?

[serene birch]

boom and zoom

[ivory garden]

people keep suggesting that

but the times I've tried it

pilot either passes out and then I die or I just get jumped by some random fighter

"level up g tolerance"

[serene birch]

dont dive so extreme if your pilot passes out

or dont pull so aggressively

gradually pull up strains your pilot less

whats your throttle at when you dive

[ivory garden]

I put it to 0

[serene birch]

ok good

but yeah literally you just gotta learn your planes limits

even if you try jt out in test drive

know what speed they compress at

[ivory garden]

issue is if I do it slower

I just get shot at quicker

[serene birch]

dont go slow

just dont go so fast your plane compresses

airbrakesare a godsend at managing speed

[ivory garden]

[serene birch]

hows that clueless bruh

its not that hard to manage your airspeed so you dont compress but dont go slow so youre a easy target

[eternal zenith]

it might be a gen alpha speaking

how old you be @ivory garden

[ivory garden]

19

[serene birch]

ok no just a krill issue

😭😭

[ivory garden]

yeah I am aware it's a skill issue

the game isn't exactly intuitive or easy to learn

[serene birch]

how long have you been playing

[eternal zenith]

it be like it is

[ivory garden]

years

[serene birch]

wt is easy to learn

hard to master

[ivory garden]

just always arcade air

and arcade ground

[serene birch]

EW

[eternal zenith]

"years"

[ivory garden]

I say that with like

3 years

[eternal zenith]

so what, 900h?

[serene birch]

10 here

[ivory garden]

170

[eternal zenith]

[ivory garden]

I cycle games

[serene birch]

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/bVO8f.gif

[ivory garden]

boring

[serene birch]

real

no wonder you suck (no offense) homie

[eternal zenith]

It's not a joke when people say the real fun begins after 2000h

[serene birch]

you aint gonna be good with 170 hours

[ivory garden]

https://tenor.com/view/voices-medic-tf2-cosss-mikk_-schizo-gif-26228618

[serene birch]

i sucked up until around 1500hrs

[ivory garden]

"put 2000 hours into game to be good!!!"

boring

[eternal zenith]

at that point you got all the functions at muscle memory, distances burned into your brain

[serene birch]

i got like 7000 on steam alone now

[ivory garden]

skill curve, yes, learning curve, yes

but that's boring if you're saying I need to put thousands of hours into a game

[eternal zenith]

you don't need

[ivory garden]

like I'm pretty good at tanks

I just suck at air

[serene birch]

to learn like everything on a basic level id say youd need prolly 750ish hours

[eternal zenith]

but you don't have to cry about having skill issue until after

[ivory garden]

[serene birch]

and by everything i do mean everything

down to the niche boat shit

youd prolly only need about 350 to know everything you need to about tanks and planes combined tho ngl its prolly the most in depth

[eternal zenith]

speaking of niche boat shit... 88mm german gun barge is hilarious

[serene birch]

real my KD with it is like

100 to 10

[eternal zenith]

[serene birch]

the 20mm one is like

200 to 15

the 20 is even fucking more disgusting

just sit sround a corner and let the PT boats come to you

[eternal zenith]

with the 88mm you just auto target patrol boats with the timed fuse HE

[serene birch]

also the egyptian boat with GRAD rockets????

that thing is godly

[eternal zenith]

is that a preem?

[serene birch]

i got 6 kills in like 5 seconds with the rockets

and yeah its a battlepass vehicle

[eternal zenith]

which tt?

[serene birch]

russia

the actual gun it has is stinky kaka poopoo and all my kills were with the grad rockets cause theyre super easy to aim in boats

[eternal zenith]

wait, the Ya-5M?

[serene birch]

Pr.183 BM-21

thats the name

[serene birch]

Ya5M arent grad rockets

theyre M-8 (I think but theyre def not grad)

[eternal zenith]

Proud of that one NGL

[ivory garden]

"crash landing" while I am on the airfield

I landed without landing gears and this is what the game tells me

no firey death for my crew but because I am 2 feet too far from the airstrip it's a crash landing

random fighter appears on me; I get a whopping 9 hits on it (7 hits and 2 severe) and it takes out my tail

fucking stupid bullshit

right above my airfield too

I was so close

gets to 5km altitude, chases off fighter that tried to kill me, drop my 1000kg payload on enemy base

random friendly fighter gets it before my bombs land

so I got no RP from that

very cool

[half falcon]

damn these community skins look fire

[serene birch]

thats great lmao

[serene birch]

this is why i just dont bother with bombers unless theyre hella fast

P1Y1, Yak-28 etc

Hes an addict

And he knows hes addicted

He cant without Warthunder

And he didnt spend a single cent on the game

He nearly got every Vehicle + spaded + Ace crew

now you know how long it will take for you aprox without spending money

[hot hull]

and a helping hand from CC partnership

which Id assume he has

[eternal zenith]

[sleek fractal]

Oh hey, this place has a WT chat. Cool

I love how WT chats are like speakeasies, they just kinda appear in random places lol

[ruby rain]

Shit devs
Shit game
Couldn't save it from what they're doing to it

[warm storm]

Yea, if it was actually plausible to play it free then it would be an incredible game

And if not incredible then at least 50% better lol

[ruby rain]

I got 2500-ish h 100% f2p

[warm storm]

Fr? I have like 4k as a definitely not F2P, how far along are you?

[ruby rain]

Top br's
Britain: 11.3 ground, 3.0 air
USA: 7.3 ground
Swe: 2.7 ground

Also 292 and M1A1 AIM

[warm storm]

Solid stuff
11.7 Russia GRB, 13.0 Air
7.3 American GRB with AIM, 13.0 Air

Everything else isn't noteworthy lol

[warm storm]

How is British top tier? Russia got shit on with that recent internal components addition in Seek and Destroy

[ruby rain]

The SouthAfrica line is good, Vickerses and VFM5 are good, Swingfire is good but very situational (full hulldown). The Fox is crazy (but I haven't played it since it got uptiered). Mainland MBT line is good only up until Cent 10, after that it's pretty meh.

Falcon is crazy too

Those fuckers slashed Chally 3's HP for no fucking good reason but won't give it the 800mm pen dart

I didn't do much research on my Chally 2's b4 I switched to Swe and usa

[warm storm]

I'm mostly playing USA GRB to get off of Russia, fighting them seems impossible until you play them XD. Anyone with 2 brain cells just driver viewports me. With the new components update if someone hits my autoloader and I SOMEHOW don't explode instantly, I need to repair it in order to load my next round

[warm storm]

Oh shit, they changed the sights in this update?

I was about to say, I know they changed crew models to be historically acyrate

[hot hull]

I am him

Sol 1

[ruby rain]

probably too difficult to source genuine sights for so many tanks

I believe they plan to make vanilla LRF sight variants

[hot hull]

would be nice to have vanilla TV sights at least

instead of same old scope sight

[sleek fractal]

Iirc they want to change em to match the Era at least

2nd ww/ColdWar/Modern

But thats like on the list for at leat 5 years now

Just like the sound reworks every single patch

Is like 680mm long penetrator penetrating 800mm

[ruby rain]

I heard the 800mm pen figure in some yt vid about Chally 3

idk

[hollow pelican]

Yeah it served alongside the WW2 T-72

[ivory garden]

peak air realistic gameplay

(friendly killed me)

[ruby rain]

I tried air realistic for a bit...

bro it sucks

[ivory garden]

the same problem again anyways

I was chasing a guy, hit him 6 times and nothing

some random fighter appears behind me and instantly my right wing is gone

so little RP, "air is easier to grind" is just incorrect

(all I want is the T18B for realistic tank battles)

[ivory garden]

it takes luck

I had a good time bombing in realistic ground though, got 3 tanks destroyed and was returning from my second bombing run when a friendly plane took off and flew into me

I was watching my rear to not get jumped by the enemy fighter

I'll have to bite my tounge, I know how frustrating it is to be bombed

but man it is fun to be the bomber

seems like luck

I get 7 hits on a guy and they take out my wing instantly

or a guy in a fighter took out my wing instantly from nearly 2km away

taking air targets

13.2mm and 8mm

J22-A

then which belt to use

I only have tracers for the 8mm

sad

ok

I get my wings shot off instantly all the time so idk

as long as I can have my 7 hits do something I'm glad

cool

you're acting like I know a lot about planes

I really don't

[ruby rain]

Why is my k/d 1.6?

with mathces like these

[serene birch]

i mean in WT they will and do

you just have to pump a lot of 7.62/7.7/7.92 into them

less so for the 50s

i honestly hope planes one day get stronger health points for certain frames

cause even irl most planes (except for things made of wood cough cough zero) could take a few 20mms without falling apart

(its also not made of wood irl but the alloy might as well have been wood with how strong it was lol)

[cold lichen]

Played one match at 10.0 Sweden GRB and I then remembered why I've stopped playing seriously

Had america on my team and it was an instant L

Though, I fucking LOVE sweden

[eternal zenith]

Punishing 1 death leaving would solve a lot of team inbalance

[hot hull]

mfw half team leaves at 1 death

then theres always that one dude with like 7 deaths on each team

[sleek fractal]

Also RP gain is just way more in Air per kill.

[serene birch]

i feel like the rp gain in tanks has gone back to what it was previously before they added the extra rp for X amount of kills

it feels painfully slow again

[sleek fractal]

i agree

they did some sneaky nerfs again

[spark spindle]

lose x percent of rewards for each unused vehicle in your line up that you can deploy.

Or something like that

On the other hand I am glad that I can bail whenever without fear of getting banned.

[eternal zenith]

banning someone for bailing would be beyond retarded

expect it next update

[serene birch]

that would be so retarded its genuinely plausible gaijin did it

after all they did do the "pilot damaged" = no pulling beyond 1g turns

@sleek fractal remember that?

[sleek fractal]

Yeah and the fucking G limiters

that was all some stupid shit

[serene birch]

i love getting gently kissed by aa from 4km away in an air rb match and having my zero act like its going 700km/h in a dive in turns

[ruby rain]

pilot gets shot in leg/foot
still pulls multi-G turns

[serene birch]

your pilot could be the gentlest of piss yellow

[ruby rain]

(bleeding out)

[serene birch]

and still have 0 turning ability

it was dumb as hell

[sleek fractal]

And now your ground crew magicaly gets healed slowly 🙂

[serene birch]

also theres a few stories about pilots being shot by like rifle calibre rounds and even bigger

and still pulling off big ball sack moves

[sleek fractal]

Dude is not alright

[ruby rain]

wrong chat

[serene birch]

hes just wearing the experimental stealth suit, hes fine

[sleek fractal]

[ruby rain]

no?

[serene birch]

i mean that game might have tanks

"any other tank games"

[ruby rain]

looks like Cyberpunk to me

[eternal zenith]

https://tenor.com/rtL9Nk89TuG.gif

[serene birch]

tank builds exist in cyberpunk

[sleek fractal]

Its Starfield

From one shitty game to another

[eternal zenith]

[serene birch]

can you do a tank build, if yes then it qualifies

[sleek fractal]

You can

[ruby rain]

they're all just
Future Sci-Fi: The Game

[serene birch]

ngl now that cyberpunk has had most of its major issues fixed its a p fire game

launch was awful tho fr

[eternal zenith]

bro I hate the new RP tweak

kill the snail

[crude ruin]

nuke?

[eternal zenith]

nah, didn't drop it. Too much fun sniping A point

[ruby rain]

how many nukes have you dropped?

[eternal zenith]

love heat 😒

[sleek fractal]

oh yeah new M60 variant by the turkish

So fucking silly

[crude ruin]

0 😦

[ruby rain]

Oh damn. I though it'd be like 5

[crude ruin]

nah nah

Thats not a 105 round...

[ivory garden]

is there a way to avoid oil leaks from burning off my wings

or is it inevitable

[ruby rain]

[crude ruin]

yup xD

i got it

finally

[ruby rain]

improved Tunisia map

[cold lichen]

Is it good?

[hollow pelican]

Probably mid

I don't think War Thunder has a "great map" layout

[ruby rain]

just the 2d map texture

terrain is same I think?

[cold lichen]

[ivory garden]

just played a match with my PL % at above 20 and my ping over 150 for the entire thing (schroedinger's tank)

no idea if any of my hits hit or any of the foe's hits hit

then I would blow up randomly

[ivory garden]

after long last, researched the pbv 501

not buying it yet though, 200,000 lions is a lot for my only tier 6 tank

such a goofy looking tank

oh and it shoots darts

[half falcon]

neat

they should uhh

remake like all the maps fr tho

and also the layouts, i swear some maps just have spawns that make one side win 100% of the time

[sleek fractal]

By now they already did that twice

[frigid carbon]

Mig 21 at 10.3

[crude ruin]

[ruby rain]

mby only firing the guns counts as activity

[sleek fractal]

8 Seconds was the time i fired 2 missiles into 2 enemies xD

[ruby rain]

oh right you got missiles

[sleek fractal]

It was the only 8 seconds i was in a close range to enemies

[ivory garden]

I think they reduced the magnification from z

because in my pvkv II it was pretty extreme and in my pvkv III it was still strong

but now it's barely anything in my pvkv III

[ivory garden]

my B18A crumbled apart for no reason

no one shot me since it was a crash in the killfeed

I hadn't damaged myself bombing

I didn't hit anything

was returning to the airfield when I just fell apart

(IKEA assembly)

it happened again

odd

[sleek fractal]

Maybe you were just to fast

or wing overload

[ivory garden]

I've gotten pretty good at landing and returning to the airfield

and not blowing myself up from going too fast and stuff

while no text popped up, I guess maybe?

[sleek fractal]

it happens fast

[ivory garden]

teammate try to not block me in from escaping arty fire challenge (impossible):

[ruby rain]

max speed 430 km/h

[ivory garden]

465km/h for my researched one

I was going like 320 though

we'll see if it happens again now

landed fine, odd

[serene birch]

if youre going slightly too fast and pull X amount of Gs your plane will:

https://tenor.com/view/storm-stormtrooper-star-wars-trooper-clone-gif-20123220

[ivory garden]

yes I've learned that

I'm pretty sure it wasn't that though

I may suck at actual flying but I can land

[sleek fractal]

If you got the enhanced controlls the plane breaks faster usualy cause it lets you pull turns that break it

With that i mean the module

Next to airframe upgrade

I usualy tick it off

[ivory garden]

don't think I have that

I'm going to go with ol'reliable and blame my bad internet

a couple people here said anything above 0% PL is bad

and I average like 4-7%

[sleek fractal]

Yep thats true

Any PL is bad

The Servers are okaisch for being in the Netherlands rented from Amazon

For EU that is

[ivory garden]

uses boosters
loses round in record time due to cas spam

[ruby rain]

no autoloader in the 292

[ivory garden]

was looking through the research trees

is there any actual reason for hungary to have a little line in italy

I guess to bulk it up a bit

[ivory garden]

got shot, was landing my plane

and then right before it touches the ground it does a 120 and I blow up

good job

it was damaged and my right wing was missing the aileron but I made it all the way back to the airfield and then it killed me

very cool

[ruby rain]

(Tiger 2 didn't check his flanks)

Even with my DM's open to all

I'VE NEVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF DEALING WITH THESE GUYS

[ivory garden]

I've had people DM me tips and stuf but no one getting mad lol

[ruby rain]

Idk. Just do a crazy angle on a mf.
I've played 2500h, I've received like 3 mby 4 fan mails

[serene birch]

sounds like you were dropping altitude too rapidly

if 1 wing is damaged and you dive down the plane loves to roll, you gotta be hella gentle

[ivory garden]

I was flying pretty low and steady the entire time

I was probably a few dozen meters off the ground when it decided to yeet me off course

[serene birch]

how fast were you going?

@sleek fractal should i grow my collection even further with this sale on or naaah

[ivory garden]

probably somewhere between 100 and 200km/h given I was about to land

[serene birch]

ive been peeping the type 16

[serene birch]

mightve stalled

[ivory garden]

I usually land at that speed but I guess the missing aileron could've thrown a fit

[serene birch]

yeah damage to your airframe can change your stall speed

miiightve been it but who knows i wasnt there hard to tell what really did it

you couldve very well gotten gaijin'd

[ivory garden]

what's with the game giving me the worst maps and teams whenever I use boosters

[ivory garden]

don't know how but I blew off an aileron while bombing

was at 600m or so but I guess let's try and land
