I should play those more often to remember this

[proper stag]

beautiful sk105 ❤️

bmpt still insanly good at 11.3 who couldve seen this coming

first game nuke

[proper stag]

YEP

[short bolt]

Another failed russian prototype terrorizing top tier

[hollow pelican]

That 152mm gun is scary

[proper stag]

Another Gajijn classic

[fallen sparrow]

Me when I tried to enjoy a game after work and enemies team is BMPT

[proper stag]

first mistake was playing top tier for enjoyment

[fallen sparrow]

First mistake was assuming I have anything beyond 6.7

How the hell can u guys play jet or read radar

[cold lichen]

Ngl, playing heavies during this HEAT bs was actually enjoyable LMAOOO

[cold lichen]

Can APDS NOT get eaten by tracks for one second...

@sleek fractal, Isn't there a system that decides what Era APDS should be working at?

Like Late war APDS vs Early War or some shit?

[boreal goblet]

"Historical BR"

[fallen sparrow]

So if im not wrong

BMPT 72 is like 72 hull

And normal BMPT is like 90 hull

[fallen sparrow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3HO5RXc-y2Y?si=X8rPk_UwJD6lju1R

[sleek fractal]

Low tier sweden also has apds that works kinda

But remember its just this small core

So yes it gets stopped by a track

Its apcr that works on angles

[cold lichen]

I just hate the inconsistence of it man

Either you hit a guy with the power of a small sun

or its a wet fart

[fallen sparrow]

I feel like APCR, APDS, HEAT FS

Are all so inconsistence due to volumetric

Tickling a tank could do more damage sometimes

Or your round just makes sure the dude's whole existence is deleted

[serene birch]

god damn i hate war thunders inventory

i just used a rare booster i was hanging onto for the funny

[proper stag]

Probably a good thing

[proper stag]

with apcr in your dreams

[crude ruin]

yo cunts

look at that

The New US Tank M1E3 is now public

gajoin whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhen

[sleek fractal]

when Leo 2A8 and T-14

[crude ruin]

fr tho

i want my leo2a8

https://tenor.com/view/smoljak-cimrman-ach-jo-gif-18607707

[gray thicket]

i want my j16

[crude ruin]

zynk

[gray thicket]

i want my glorious taiwan

[crude ruin]

no

[gray thicket]

sup

oh

[crude ruin]

taiwan

is china

[gray thicket]

china

[crude ruin]

boah

[gray thicket]

is china

[crude ruin]

true

[gray thicket]

yes

but

china

is

better

than

china

[crude ruin]

china #1

[sleek fractal]

no it isnt

Do you know why ?

Its very simple

[crude ruin]

tell me

[sleek fractal]

they removed the taiwanese flag from China

[crude ruin]

oh

[sleek fractal]

So it cant be china

[gray thicket]

RAHHHHH

[sleek fractal]

they added flag customisation

[crude ruin]

true

[sleek fractal]

i dont see Taiwan anymore

So Taiwan = not china

simple

[jaunty night]

please, i beg of you. An actual new tank instead of just more electronics and armour stuffed in a 40yo chassee and turret 🙏

[sleek fractal]

its M1A for a reason

just like Leopard 2A

[short bolt]

man even america cant afford to produce 1000 new chasis with zero export possibility

[jaunty night]

triple the defense budget

[sleek fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X3MagbUeEPI

[short bolt]

i mean abrams have been performing as how it should. you dont need to change it

[jaunty night]

not yet atleast, but it is boring how every modern mbt is based on a core built in the 1980s and designed in the 1970s, exluding leclerc

[sleek fractal]

Also its proven our old Leopards and outdated Leopard 2´s are still very effective

sending old shit to Ukraine was the best idea our politicians ever had

[short bolt]

well tanks are just armored, big ass guns

[jaunty night]

please send some upgrade packages for our leo2a4s

[sleek fractal]

Leopard 1 is not armored

[short bolt]

nothing changed enough to just completly change the design

[sleek fractal]

1A5 *

Cope cages

Its a box with a gun

your right

[short bolt]

yeah leopards are not armored but most cold war tanks are not

i dont know why but i am gonna guess people couldnt figure out protection against apfsds rounds so they just didnt bother with it

[sleek fractal]

Well Russian Tanks are the only ones armored enough from that era cause their build to withstand nukes

And even that wasnt enough for APDS,HEATFS

you just cant make a 100% undestroyable tank

[short bolt]

yeah on the other hand you can make an extremely horrid tank like this one

this thing is so bad

no mobility zero depression bad gun and no survivability

this thing genuinely made me lose fights against lvl 1s

[sleek fractal]

le funny Event Tonk

the one in the US tree was first

or you take this one xD

"light tank"

[crude ruin]

no

[ruby rain]

Bruno. How soon before an engagement is the main cannon loaded?

[sleek fractal]

its an M1A2 under a paper M1A3

[ruby rain]

Is it usually kept empty?

[jaunty night]

https://tenor.com/view/spearhyunho-gif-17038186950213244823

i dont remember them teaching us any specific time frame for that. Theres really no reason to have it be empty though

[sleek fractal]

load it with Bananas when your out of Ammo

[jaunty night]

even with a round in the breech the tank can still have positive pressure inside it and so on

[jaunty night]

were gonna shoot the loader headfirst

[sleek fractal]

Bruno Banani,thats what it called

[jaunty night]

strap me onto a apfsds round and launch me to greenland already 🗣️

im ready

[short bolt]

which round is usually loaded apfsds or he?

[sleek fractal]

Does it even matter,both will obliterate whatever it hits

[ruby rain]

Depends on what the recons report?

[jaunty night]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-hes-right-you-know-correct-true-right-gif-27174315

I dont even know if he is used anymore due to programmable shrapnel rounds pretty much replacing he, canister shot and heat

[ruby rain]

If enemy tanks -> APFSDS
If light vehs, infantry -> MPHEAT or HE
I'm guessin

we got a israeli equilevant of it

[sleek fractal]

thats neat

It just cant beat my penetration power

[jaunty night]

yeah, prolly apfsds in honestly atleast here. Poor maneuvorability in forests so a good amount of times two tank platoons will have a "standoff" on a dirt road

and then disperse from there and do tricks

[jaunty night]

it is, i got to shoot one of them. Kicked like a mule compared to our practise apfsds rounds

[sleek fractal]

in my area,if you got the low ground,you get shredded by the high ground

worse is when you got the low ground without wood or town

and we got a lot of that

tons of fields

[jaunty night]

yeah, depends on the terrain. Here its viable to go through low points in terrain cause its heavily wooded and hilly and so on

its honestly scary to look at footage from eastern europe cause theres just so much open fields and maybe a few wooded areas

completely different from what im used to here

[sleek fractal]

we got tons of shit like that

and then the other end of lower saxony

full of fields

[jaunty night]

yeah, central and northern finland are full of wooded areas just like that. The fields and major highways are in the south

this is in one of our excerscise areas up north which shows the "typical" terrain somewhat well

@sleek fractal

idk if ive put it here or not yet

[sleek fractal]

i dont remember but thats baller

[fluid trout]

I killed a guy in a PE8 a couple minutes before

and he tried to warn him lmao

[sleek fractal]

You did post that as clip few days ago with the nuke

[fluid trout]

yeha was just thinking that

because we were talking about the chat thing

[sleek fractal]

I remember chat

Yep

[fluid trout]

i actually gotta check how close i am to 1k air kills

Close.

[gray thicket]

jusst use wz305 and forget

🤑

notice how it's also chinese

[proper stag]

zamm

[fallen sparrow]

Ya kno

Im so glad Japanese tank has APHE

The problem is its filler is so weak I thought its a Solid shot

[short bolt]

this tank is not real

[sleek fractal]

Sav always and will be OP

Whats with the white noise?

Thst counts as earrape

Ouch

[short bolt]

i dont hear it

[gray thicket]

imagine if it was a market vehicle

[short bolt]

also great thing about sav is the fact that it sits at 3.7 like i am 90% percent sure those are level 5-10 players

welcome to war thunder enjoy your stay

How is this one different?

[sleek fractal]

No side relikt era

Better round

Different,better aps

840hp engine only

[mellow zealot]

Just as my exams end

Splendid

[sleek fractal]

I wont grind it

[mellow zealot]

Unironically same day

[sleek fractal]

I will free ge it

[mellow zealot]

I didn't read it fully is it uhh

[sleek fractal]

45k points

[mellow zealot]

Like a separate event thing

Ye I saw rhat

[sleek fractal]

750k for selling

Yes new event

[mellow zealot]

I mean like do I have to go in a specific gamemode

Strikes me thst way

Should probably read further lol

[sleek fractal]

Ground battles as usual

[mellow zealot]

Ah

Oh its like the first sentence

That's not too bad

With the 9.3 buff to soviet anyway

[short bolt]

I probably cant grind it neither too busy manifesting leopard 2 140mm to be the next dreams come true vehicle

[sleek fractal]

That would be November

[short bolt]

its a lenghty process

supposedly can pen over 1000mm (1m) of steel

http://ciar.org/shotmagnet/Armor and impactor studies/Penetration_Limits_of_Conventional_Large_Caliber_Anti_Tank_-_Kinetic_Energy_Projectiles.pdf

gaijin i need this pls

[mellow zealot]

This would defo be put at a BR it'd be a glass cannon

I think it'd be TAM level

Fast but shiy armour for the br

But amazing gun

[short bolt]

i mean yeah but you also just click on someone and they just evaporate

[mellow zealot]

Well yeah like the TAM xd

Wonder what the reload id

Or rather will be

[short bolt]

it has a autoloaded and a manual one manual is 10 seconds two stage reload

[mellow zealot]

Its gonna be like there were 3 tests one test the loader was a 5'3 femboy and he loaded a round every 44 secs

And they take that one

[short bolt]

or some chinese guy will make up a random number and gaijin will change it to that

[proper stag]

Awesome they aren't even trying

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[sleek fractal]

Did they ever try ?

What ?

next event is T72B3

[fallen sparrow]

What is this

Leopard 292?

[short bolt]

basically yeah

[fallen sparrow]

I still like how loading a APDS for 292 can overpen most of the tanks

[short bolt]

10 sec reload is rough though

[fallen sparrow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/aJTqzbKMm6k?si=0DaDfk0cT7gGURPg

[worthy pier]

if i had a dollar for every T series tank that is added through a event I could retire

[sleek fractal]

in that case its just 4 dollars iirc#

Chinese T-80

Moderna

now T72B3

T80UM2

thats actualy it

[crude ruin]

moderna was nice

[sleek fractal]

Moderna is nice

[gray thicket]

did I hear someone say china

[sleek fractal]

i love the 30mm

i hope they bring the Moderna with the Twin 20mm

[short bolt]

Couldnt drop a nuke because an is3 ran away from me. I was in a tiger 2

[sleek fractal]

[gray thicket]

seen enough

nerf f14

[serene birch]

even funnier is i see its price keeps going up and up daily

[sleek fractal]

Cause its one of the vehicles that aint coming to SL Crates

[serene birch]

it was sitting around 300 for months

i checked it yesterday and it was 550

[sleek fractal]

not true

Rising since September last year

the AMX 50 TO sits at 200 now

cant wait for it to go wayyy higher

https://tenor.com/view/bullish-crypto-hype-i-want-more-lets-do-this-gif-1852269844701917269

[serene birch]

yeah champ i dont stare at the market every day of every year, so last i checked it was floating around 300

[sleek fractal]

2024 was quite long ago

Anyway its the normal rate,unless some Youtuber makes a video

Thats when people buy coupons and price spikes

[spark spindle]

Is there any reason why moderna has not returned in the boxes yet? It was just an another event vehicle, right?

[hushed island]

u guys have any thoughts on f5c?

[sleek fractal]

Certain event and battlepass vehicles dont come in crates or coupons

Like the Dreams come true vehicles NO COUPONS AT ALL

Well see if Christmas vehicles will be in SL crates

[short bolt]

https://youtu.be/zH87Oqq6gkc?si=4Y6wzteE3ArfFQkx

[sleek fractal]

inb4 he gets it and goes bombing with it

its pretty good if you got the skill to use it

[short bolt]

Yeah airplanes are so hard to use especially the ones without missiles

[short bolt]

is fv4005 broken like it cant overpressure stuff that get overpressured with less he filler

[mellow zealot]

the ONE time i dont grind the event

the arena wouldn't be at a similar level would it

half considering buying the xm1 but i wanna see whether that battlepass vehicle is worth getting to sell

[fallen sparrow]

A lot of explosive sometimes deals no damage

Sometimes it evaporate ppl

I found shooting near the roof often give consistent result

But a lot of time useless when shooting a heavy tank

[fallen sparrow]

I failed to Overpress lught tank w m44 a lot

[short bolt]

i think its because fv uses hesh instead of regular he

[gray thicket]

use hesh at angled armour

[fallen sparrow]

Ah damn

HESH is very inconsistent

Like it has been for a while I believe

So far the only tank with consistent HESH Is T58

[proper stag]

hesh is so incosistent

[fallen sparrow]

Sometimes im glad I had some HESH shell

I ran out of HEATFS one day and I decided to HESH entire IS3

Somehow

I was with M56

[serene birch]

id say probably not but playerbase is weird

[mellow zealot]

meh i'll have time to grind it

[edgy dome]

Bro what not at allllll

[serene birch]

god bless mexico

[sleek fractal]

Cant be Mexico

Wheres the yellow filter?

[gray thicket]

should be 14.3 ATLEAST

🤑

[serene birch]

true

[strong coral]

Warthunder is cringe

[fallen sparrow]

I have to grind for this

piece of shit again

[sleek fractal]

"Grind"

61k is nothing

[cold lichen]

Im so fucking tired of this doh

Dogs*

Top tier is such a mess that its just not fun at all

[gray thicket]

they should hire me

I could fix all this in 1 day

🤑

[sleek fractal]

censor it all the true chinese way

https://tenor.com/view/anime-pussy-cat-cute-pixelated-gif-17020366

[high estuary]

M8 Scott, back from the dead

[short bolt]

What is the purpose of this vehicle? A mobile mortar

or something

[mellow zealot]

you have premium this is barely a grind tbh

man that thing was good at 6.3

the m46 somehow feels more armoured but the french dont have that

wait no they do its just premium

[fallen sparrow]

I dont like M26

Its so annoying to use

The moment I got to 46 I never touched it again in US

Cuz the 46 is just marginally better

Please I need this BR please Gaijin

My mom is kinda homeless

[short bolt]

FV4005 is not playable at all. Idk if its a skill issue since I played mostly germany then switched to other nations but i feel like it just doesnt work

[sleek fractal]

its the biggest most inconsistent gun in the game due to HESH

You gotta hit specific spots to make it work that you mostly dont even see on the enemy

in exchange you nuke the small ones pretty easy

But yeah Gaijin needs to fiddle with HESH again

[fallen sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-triggered-gif-26561244

[short bolt]

Yeah I think I am either going for track shots or Ill just give up on british 6.0 br range

But I need conway 120mm apds

14 sec reload

https://giphy.com/gifs/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-water-bikini-bottom-gjx93XiXRE2NVLoFlH

[fallen sparrow]

How do ppl play M42 or M19

Their 40mm guns are not great

[proper stag]

i don't remember this thing being very good

[fallen sparrow]

Its not but I need to unlock it for more tanks

[proper stag]

rush 7.7

then jump to 9.3

skip amx brenus things

actually 8.7 has the dca

[fallen sparrow]

I never get why Light Tank in WT is always 1 BR higher than its tier

[spark spindle]

Neither are great. Laughable spaas but decent light tank destroyers.

[sleek fractal]

Shoot at planes flying directly at you

[fallen sparrow]

honorably Skink

[spark spindle]

Skink is a decent SPAA, and I quite like to use it against planes. it is just overtiered to oblivion, cause it is “armored“.

[mellow zealot]

it's one match with prem 😭

[mellow zealot]

it's good

you'll pen everything the issue is you're an LT

should i replace the xm or the m60 with an mbt70

the m60 gives me more pen but idk if i care that much cuz the xm can actually tank a shot sometimes unlike the fucking m60

actually i convinced myself fuck the m60

the rise is cool at 8.7 but i dont enjoy the tts very much

yep that was totally worth it i was like 200 sp off a nuke in my first match lmao

[proper stag]

m60

terrible platform at 9.0

[mellow zealot]

that's what i did and i'd say it was worth it

[mellow zealot]

so they're adding a mosquito (whatever) and an ELC bis derivative? interesting

maybe it'll be worht getting that battlepass :p

[sleek fractal]

11.0

[mellow zealot]

isnt this a really good BR actually lol

[mellow zealot]

KIND of ass?

why tf does it have no arty

well its another one of those trolly small tanks

is it also heat or is it APDS/AP

[sleek fractal]

Its BP,which means get it and make it tradable.It will sell for a lot in 2 years cause its French and wont come in SL crates

I dont know which ammo it has

[mellow zealot]

yeah i'll prob do that

you think its worth buying the 2,5k one i havent really bought the battlepass but i have like 4k ge from buying it earlier

i get to like lvl100 typically with semi-grinding

[sleek fractal]

Depends on if you will play a lot

[mellow zealot]

i'll have a lot of free time

well ish

[sleek fractal]

Yeah then save the 1k GE

[mellow zealot]

i'll prob go work at some point but for like february i'll be free

[mellow zealot]

well it's 2k vs 2,5k

15 free levels seems like a nice deal

[sleek fractal]

Oh then yeah 500ge for 15 lvls

Fair

[mellow zealot]

"free"

if i can get like 25 eur back i'll be happy lol

[sleek fractal]

Wasnt the BP 1,5k?

[mellow zealot]

i believe its 2k

[sleek fractal]

I havent bought any in a long time

[mellow zealot]

atleast this one now

i love getting free shit

chi nu 2 for free from warbonds, xm1 from selling other event vehicles

4k ge leftover

lol

[sleek fractal]

Its good,im just not interested in the stuff

[mellow zealot]

• ~50 from this even (mig25+ajax)

[mellow zealot]

i barely ever grind to actually get the vic

just for the money

xm1 is nice to play

don't regret it though i expected it to be a bit different

[sleek fractal]

I want the GM XM1

[mellow zealot]

i also completely missed that it gets the m60 rise round (m735)

bro LOL

i had a fucking match

i hit a t80ud or whatever it is in the side 3 times

each time the shell just bounced inside and set him on fire

[sleek fractal]

[mellow zealot]

like genuinely most perfect autoloader shot ever

i just see it bounce and pen and it did nothing once nad twice set him on fire

[sleek fractal]

Reminds me of that

[mellow zealot]

then i got ganked cuz i had to go up a hill

[mellow zealot]

imagine this but the shell like flies off course

what even is that the KVT?

i like aiming a bit lower on rus tanks

you were hitting the side directly for SOME reason they can survive that

i got some kills on like, t80UKs or whatever tf when i was first using the m1a1 aim

with heat

by just hitting right on the road wheel essentially, but also kinda lower

and to the right

[sleek fractal]

Yes KVT

[mellow zealot]

so it just barely didnt hit hte ERA but was high enough to not just track

ya the gun bush made me think that

[mellow zealot]

generally same idea

[sleek fractal]

Thats the russian trait,funny armor and now also 6s reload

[mellow zealot]

then again i dont really play 10.7 or higher

[mellow zealot]

i gotta retry using the t64b that thing could tank so many shots its hilarious

now you're telling me i get a 6s reload?

[sleek fractal]

Yep

[mellow zealot]

was my fav high tier

[sleek fractal]

T64b is finaly playable again

[mellow zealot]

kinda disappointed it became 10.0 but bruh...

6s LOL

t64a at 9.3 was crazy btw til the buff

NORMAL rangefinder

worse everything than t72a

i think it was marginally faster

i think you could get penned by m735 from the front i think the t72a can tank m774 and even dm23

dm13 might even pen t64a but that might be slander

m111 or whatever the jewish one is

[sleek fractal]

I havent played that range in a long time since im burned out by the best teams in WT with US 11.0

[mellow zealot]

i mainly play 7.3 to 9.3

m47+t32 are fun

is4m

amx derivatives... dont like 8.0 that much for france tho

df105 is great but i cant seem to get a feel for the amx30

even if its funny to overpressure maus

i used to play tf out of the t-44 but they put it up to 6.7 and playing it at 7.7 isn't very fun

it was very funny to get downtiered to 5.3

also to-55 and t-54 (51) being same BR is just outrageous

isnt the ztz59 7.7 too lol

nvm i think it got uptiered

i dont think it's worth playing higher BRs than like 10.7 or whatever cuz of weird cas shit and just completely alien playstyles to me

AGMs are annoying enough at 9.x

[sleek fractal]

I kinda miss the time when 8.0 was top and it was Is8/T-10 vs Leopard 1

I agree fun ends after 10.7

[mellow zealot]

its crazy to think the t10m used to be good

[sleek fractal]

In Air too

[mellow zealot]

i fucking hate playing it

then again you cant really downtier it cuz that thing in 7.0 or whatever would be crazy

then again its p much an is3 which i already dont like lol

[mellow zealot]

maybe my opinion would change if i fought more BMPTs i've mainly stayed at BR 9.x

but generally that's what i remember as being reasonably okay sitll

t-64b full uptier to 10.7 with possibility of fun... ❤️

anyway back to studying i g

[ruby rain]

You simply have to hit a 1 cm gap under the ERA

[short bolt]

All I see is skill issue, time to increase EBR 1951's br again

[sleek fractal]

That video is from reddit

When bmpt was still 10.3

[fallen sparrow]

Me when I was having a great time at low tier

Suddenly KV-85

[cold lichen]

Why the fuck is the JAS39E at 14.0 and not 14.3?

[sleek fractal]

Cause Tier 9 is incoming and they raise BR anyway?

Also 8320 players banned in January

The numbers are declining

[mellow zealot]

do premium vehicles give more crew xp?

feels like it anyway

Me when I want to have fun as IFV

But AJAX is all I have

[ruby rain]

Mby Desert Warrior is the only usable UK IFV

[sleek fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFCtDF4IrU0

[mellow zealot]

the warrior is shit but its semi fun shit

atleast whenever i played on my friends acc

its just bad but if you play it knowing its bad you can do funny things

[short bolt]

Will this have 360 turret traverse?

[sleek fractal]

we dont know yet

But if yes,this thing will be worth a ton of money

[short bolt]

can I use a vehicle before selling it or once redeemed it cant be used again?

never grinded events or bought a battlepass

[mellow zealot]

you get a coupon (and maybe a coupon upgrade)

if you have the coupon you can redeem it and it's just. a vehicle you have

otherwise it's juts in your inventory and you can't do shit with it

if you apply the coupon upgrade you can sell it unless gaijin put up the timer

sometimes it gives you the vehicle outright

[proper stag]

Probably not

France never gets anything fun

[mellow zealot]

the elc bis doesnt get 360 so i wouldn't get my hopes up much

i think this thing had a 30 degree turret rotation in world of tanks lol

i remember liking the small tanks back when i played that game

that being said... its wot so it probably isnt correct

had to fact check this and it did have 30

i can barely find any sources for that thing though

[short bolt]

People were complaining about elc bis being capable of 360 turret traverse irl

[short bolt]

but once i redeem the coupon can i still sell it if i have the upgrade

[mellow zealot]

i dont think so because you need the base coupon to upgrade it

then again i havent tried

[fluid trout]

finally hit one thousand air kills, time to shoot for 5 thousand.

[serene birch]

inb4 ebr treatment. in a year it will be 9.0

[cold lichen]

This was my plane crew...

I forgot how much I aquired over the years and never put a tank in there

[fallen sparrow]

Max everything out

[cold lichen]

I did

[sleek fractal]

It doesnt and has half the turret traverse speed of the techtree ELC

[spark spindle]

I've heard enough, 7.0 material.

[sleek fractal]

I wonder what ammo it has

Nvm

Heatfs at least

Better ballistic curve

90mm though

At 6.0 fine

Lolpen tigers

[fallen sparrow]

Me when I got ruptured from a french shell

[mellow zealot]

hell yeah im gonna try and get that sherman

[mellow zealot]

isnt this literally just the same as the elc bis then

like what maybe te velocity will be better?

[sleek fractal]

In most regards its worse but better armored,as if that matters

[mellow zealot]

its an elc bis i dont think armour matters

isnt it marginally faster though

if its even the slightest bit faster then its kinda worth it

its a small troll vehicle

[sleek fractal]

Less hp even

Backwards way faster

[sleek fractal]

Velocity of the shell and ballistic curve is great on the BP ELC

Its just ehhhh

also HEAT dmg fixed

seems ok now

[mellow zealot]

yea i noticed thats its kinda okay now

[mellow zealot]

for a 6.0 heatfs it's pretty good

idk if its worth buying the BP tho i cant see this vehicle being higher than 30gjn if even 25

i guess the mosquito could make up for it? lol

[sleek fractal]

When there is just a few coupons on the market,they will increase in price by themself

The rarer the more expensive it is

[mellow zealot]

well i guess so

what was the prev vehicle i already forgot lol

bp one

[sleek fractal]

Ehhh

i forgot too

Plane

Some Italian plane

[mellow zealot]

oh right the freakin

re whatever the fuck

i wonder if thats worth anything now

looks like its not even being sold yet?

[sleek fractal]

Cant get sold yet

wait a week

[mellow zealot]

ah

the reddit doesn't seem happy about it

if THAT will sell for 30+ then i'll get the bp

25 ehh

re 2005 vdm thats it

[sleek fractal]

it will sell for that much in the start

in the long run it will be way more

[mellow zealot]

i'll wait and see

[glad badger]

AA with missiles and HEAT will now be better

Its overall worse than the Techtree variant and just filler

And no Russia has less Event vehicles overall than Germany and US

Which is kinda funny

It has no Relic on the sides,has a worse engine

only better thing was a better round iirc

You can skip this without remorse

man i really wanna get proxy on the m247 but it takes so fucking long

i gotta say the xm1 is such a money printer

are all premiums like this tbh

[fluid trout]

yeah, anything rank 3+ premium is printing money

[mellow zealot]

[serene birch]

are you counting all branches of the trees or just tanks

[sleek fractal]

Just tanks abd from 9.0+

@sleek fractal look
@ 28 sec the dart phases through a Gep

[sleek fractal]

Nope

Shot has travel time

I zoomed in

Gepard was faster

You can see shells and follow them in the replay

It definetly zoomed past since Gepard was moving

[ruby rain]

you can see the dart splashing dirt while the Gep was still between the sight and impact

[sleek fractal]

I dont see it

I need replay

Desync is a known issue btw

[ruby rain]

jaja desync

the guys lead was enough to hit it

[sleek fractal]

Thats why you need the replay

To determin if it really passed through

Desync

Or close miss

Theres player replays and server replays anyone can watch

Server replays even show the desync if you watch both sides

[ruby rain]

The game is just bad

[gray thicket]

is that my glorious m41d

[fallen sparrow]

ELC Bis
Rotating Turret
Looks inside
Only rotate about 100 degree span

What did they smoke designing this

[short bolt]

It can actually rotate its turret 360 degrees when it is not moving but obviously gaijin doesnt care about implementing it since its not ussr

[fallen sparrow]

Huh

Wacky

[short bolt]

Afaik it can technically rotate its turret while on the move but since its so cramped inside the tank it will probably injure the crew so they kinda stop the tank get in a position where turret rotating itself doesnt hurt them turn off the restrictions then rotate the turret

[fallen sparrow]

Ig Gaijin just doesnt know how to make it works that when people start moving the tank while its not in original position anymore

So they decided to make it technically a casemate

[sleek fractal]

its not hard to do.

People could do a lot with the CDK but since its fucking instable nobody cares much

Most people cant open Sinai in the CDK without crashing it xD

the CDK is the DevKit that is available to create custom content btw if someone doesnt know.

[fallen sparrow]

Overall 350mm HEATFS at 6.0 is god damn insane

Temptong to get m46 french

I love that tank in US

[short bolt]

My idiotic friends think chinese tech tree is broken, because it has fucking

IS2 and
M18
one of the worst heavy tank and a mid light tank in the entire tech tree

Guess which nation they are maining?

[ruby rain]

UK?

[short bolt]

Germany

[proper stag]

yep

fitting

[ruby rain]

pff, Germany fucks
guy has a skill issue

[short bolt]

how can an individual achieve negative 110/140 kd with premium tiger is beyond me

[short bolt]

They dont only have skill issue but they are delusional as well

Its gonna be fun watching their op lineup crash and burn once they unlock those tanks

[fallen sparrow]

HUH

YOU TAKE THAT BACK NOW

IS2 yeh shove that aside

BUT I WILL NOT TAKE THE DISRESPECT FOR THE M18

Shit is Peak

[fallen sparrow]

To be fair

Sure they have skill

But all German main people need to like

[fallen sparrow]

ELC Bis is just

horrid

[swift tartan]

The battlepass vehicle?

[fallen sparrow]

the non pass vehicle

[swift tartan]

Oh well

I am happy

[fallen sparrow]

you wanna know

how to make a light tank that's

so bad

so give a light tank terrible turret elevation speed

no big deal we can live with it

you give a light tank rotating turret

no biggies it's nice to have rotating turret

turret can only rotate 50 degree

front

so you basically have a casemate that has no armor whatsoever

atleast its fast

and it launches heat

[swift tartan]

Is the heat decent?

[fallen sparrow]

350mm pen

yeh average for 90mm cannon

[swift tartan]

Good enough

[fallen sparrow]

atleast it's uh

it's pretty fucking good for a 6.0 tank

[swift tartan]

At least it can kill stuff unlike the luchs

[fallen sparrow]

you wanna know what's worse?

CA Lorraine

shit is absolute the most unenjoyable unarmored casemate I have ever used

what I hate about French light tank is that

they made a tank so low profile

but then have a 2 effield tower tall antenna

[swift tartan]

Same with the 1a2 wiesel

At least the frenchies get good medium and heavy tanks at that br

I despise them

[fallen sparrow]

6.0? aw helll no

7.0 yes

the AMX M4 is stupid

M26?

shit is max mid

[swift tartan]

I mean the m26 is murican

I've mostly met M4s

[fallen sparrow]

yeh but that's 7.0

6.0 Medium tank is M26

[short bolt]

What you need to understand is they are calling m18 broken while playing tiger II

[short bolt]

Turm III is one of the best german tanks around that br range but it requires you to be actually good at the game

[fallen sparrow]

To be fair

I like to use M18 speed to have my muzzle facing the nape of Tiger 2 turret

Always love seeing them head flies

[glad badger]

my tank kinda retarded

[ruby rain]

@sleek fractal Look at this timestamp

Damn i wish my ammo did that when i shoot at t-34 s weak spots

[spark spindle]

Oh, that is a new one, and I was confused when I destroyed Maus with french 120mm OE shell to the cheek.

[fallen sparrow]

The Maus cheek can be very much penned with anything having more than 200mm of Pen I believe

French 90mm+ has no problem doing it

[spark spindle]

Oh yeah, but I am talking about the 4.3kg TNT filler HE shell

[fallen sparrow]

I bombed nearly most of my maus I saw with the M36

me when I

OBOS DE RUPTURE everyone with 100mm shell

[spark spindle]

Fench ammo has to be my favorite so far. There is something about a stell brick travelling through the entire length of the tank that I find more pleasing than the sphere of death that is APHE.

[proper stag]

wtf

and new video too not before overpressure change

😭😭😭😭

[fallen sparrow]

man

6.0 french is

fucking abysmal

[proper stag]

there is NO WAY you need 40 rounds of ammo

u should prolly take the m26 out of your lineup it is not that good to be uptier the rest of your lineup to 6.7

Not fun, it's suffering.

That guy is a retard

Went on a racist tirade about germany last year on his Stream during a majour tournament and thats how he got into Gaijins Crosshair xD

Got his CC revoked and twitch banned for a week but got everything reinstated

For me hes still a racist shithead

[short bolt]

well if you are suffering why not take a break and play different games

or spend time with your friends and family

[crude ruin]

not unc posting here

if he likes to race

let him be

i get your point

Fast cars and germany go indeed hand in hand

[fallen sparrow]

To be fair

My M36B2 carries me to 7.0

It

It is so peak

[fallen sparrow]

Also to be fair the ELC Bis exploded into firework after 1 shot either way

So at any shot its gonna ammo detonated so why I even bother bringing less

[short bolt]

One day they will lock cas to cockpit ONE DAY

[fallen sparrow]

Me when CAS decided to dive shooting a random tank instead of 400 SPAA around me

[sleek fractal]

[short bolt]

I forgot why germany suffers its the reject yak 9k and a2d1 players making one of the most op lineups in the game germany 6.7 to suffering central granted this applies for every nation that isnt us or russia

[short bolt]

Today is not a good day

[fallen sparrow]

Me when I just tried to have fun after work

One mf whose line up is just a T-44 and Yak-9k

I got a dude wasted a 2k bomb on me as a random light tank hiding in the middle of city

Like dude bombed me and nothing else cuz there was no one next to me for like miles away

[proper stag]

5.7 shermans

[proper stag]

more weight

[proper stag]

hey if it works and youre getting good games with that lineup dont stop it

[fallen sparrow]

I touched like barely the M26

I somehow uses the CA Lorr more than it

And CA Lorr is kinda ass

[proper stag]

yeah i skipped over the m26 when i was playing france

[fallen sparrow]

I prefer M46 over it

But Gaijin has the audacity to premium it

Pisses me off

[proper stag]

YEP

[fallen sparrow]

I always see ppl bodied me with tiger 2

So I wonder if playing it is actually that fun

Or equally ass as playong T26E1

[short bolt]

Tiger II (especially the premium one) is the best tank at its br since amx m4 got moved to 7.0 but I wouldnt call tiger II a fun tank

Teammates are trash, the tank is just insanely good but without spice

Most matches feel like point and click adventures till volumetric happens but yeah

If you want to just do nothing and destroy enemy teams its a perfect tank but I would much rather be in a 76 jumbo simply because its more fun and thrilling to play it

[fallen sparrow]

Tbf

I skipped the 76 jumbo into t26e5

I love the E5

26e1 not so much

[fallen sparrow]

so this is what

a heavy tank destroyer that's pretty much it?

I had failed so many shot at it maining shooting the turret

without knowing its hull is only 40mm thick

[sleek fractal]

Its a medium tank

As it says

A pretty good one too

[fallen sparrow]

well

I'd expect it to have like

more than 100mm of hull armor

[boreal goblet]

Armor on the French?

https://tenor.com/view/girls-und-panzer-tanks-tank-french-bc-gif-2348361875804491707

[sleek fractal]

Its a medium tank

[fallen sparrow]

well yeh no shit, M26 is a medium tank with 101mm of armor

huh

surprisingly that thing is more armored than a Panther

[sleek fractal]

Americans and Russians are built different

Medium is Babuscha or Rosie carrying one Tree on each shoulder

Hell it wouldnt wonder me if they call a 160kg woman still medium size in the US

[fallen sparrow]

I wonder what's the math of total thickness based on angle with original armor

[sleek fractal]

On the french its pretty good

Wait

107 can overpressure it?

What the heck

[fluid trout]

It shouldn’t!

Especially not fucking air burst 3 meters above the damn tank

[fallen sparrow]

Well i mean I found out today I can Overpressure a Jadgtiger so im not too surprised if I can do it with a Maus

[fluid trout]

The Maus roof itself is 60, except hatches are 100, so in theory it can be overpressured if you hit the roof, but you’re never really at an angle to do that. The roof under the barrel has always been a known spot for HE against it, but the roof is a new one for me

Finally, change that is actually for SPAAs that target air targets.
