I was about to say they didn't and that's probably just a G variant with the other version of the muzzle brake but then i noticed the machine gun and viewport.

I know CoD is looked down upon here but WaW did vehicles right in multiplayer and was the last great CoD even with broken shit like the dogs. Halo did vehicles better in all aspects though so I guess that isn't saying much.

desu 99% of the historical inaccuracies are just gunna be autismo stuff that will only get picked out by guys on /v/ who were never going to buy the game anyway

The vast vast majority of the people that will get this game won't notice

Fuck off.

No one gives a flying fuck about niggers, women, HISTORICAL ACURASEY or whatever triggers your autism.

Right now the problems with the game are strong SMG meta, long ttk and random as fuck maps designed for 'competitive gameplay'.

They are trying to make it into Black Ops 2 clone with fast ads, stock on ever single gun, and shit likethat.

>>389462130

Could be dried mud

>>389463257
Isn't the point of bragging about historical accuracy to draw in the history nerds? The average CoD babby doesn't give a shit about how inaccurate your WW2 game is as long as you get the broad strokes right.

The Panzer IV had like 8 different production model over the course of the war didn't it?

>>389462369
Broseph, if you've played any of the last four COD games, you already know the answer to that. The franchise is in a death spiral of mediocrity and shrinking budgets.
You need to accept that it will never be good again.

>>389457526

why even try making a ww2 game when ro2 exists

>>389463779
Yeah, but none ever had reversed the driver port and MG port.
I just can't wait for Panzer IVs to be super tough or some bullshit even though they were fairly fragile tanks by the late war.

>>389463447
I think it's more to make the normies think that they're playing a realistic game, rather than bring in people who are looking for a realistic game.

In the endless argument between Battlefield and CoD (not even all that similar they're both just popular) it's not uncommon to hear that BF is better because it's more realistic so it can help sell it that way

>>389463342

>>389463918
>I just can't wait for Panzer IVs to be super tough or some bullshit even though they were fairly fragile tanks by the late war.

Their mobility and frontal armor was shit but later panzer IVs had good side armor against heat warheads and a gun that could still pierce every tank the allies used in large numbers, it was still a decent tank if used properly.

The panzer II and III on the other hand were total shit by the end of the war.

>>389461773
I can't find any frontal shot of Panzer IV in the game.

I'm not a history buff. What is off here compared to an actual Stuka?

Germany was running out of rubber towards the end of the war so they used steel road wheels.

The Ju-87 G-2 Stuka (the one in the trailer) was a ground attack plane that used twin 37mm anti-tank cannons (each holding 12 rounds of ammunition) for purpose of attacking and destroying enemy tanks, vehicles and pillboxes. In reality they had a slow rate of fire and were strictly used to destroy heavy armored targets yet in the Cod WW2 trailer you see them firing the twin guns as if they were machine guns and using on infantrymen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK8CVm2Tlv8

>>389458049
Since when were stukas equipped with twin machineguns bolted underneath the wings? I thought they were light bombers and only had the one machinegunner facing out the back of the cockpit

>>389467993
>>389468042
Gah, got the explanation before I even posted.
Was really only aware of their role in divebombing shit

>>389457526
Did they outsource the tank models to some britbongistani studio or some other pleb country where the driver's on the right?

>>389460123
Mirroring the image doesnt magically put the drivers position on the wrong place, this was a fuck up.

These are machineguns.

>>389468314
More likely they took a mirrored image off google and didn't bother researching model variants or other images

>>389462008
We still use those and that sound and rate of fire in that video is insulting, when one of those fire it shakes everything around the area next to it, you feel like there's ripples in the air going thru your body.

>>389468628
That's pretty neat, and now I've learnt something today. I wonder if they were common in the war, vidya and history books never told me about them

>>389462008
What the fuck is that. That's not something that ends up being nicknamed 'Hitlers Buzzsaw' that's for sure

>>389469104
History books focus a lot more on the battle than the weapons and vidya it depends on how dedicated the company is to accuracy as well as what aspect of the war the game focuses on. Gaijin the makers of Warthunder really do their research well.

>>389457526
Because it's a COD game that panders to prevailing marketing trends rather than having a genuine interest in the subject.

How the hell can you not understand they just want to make some money?

The Ju-87 had to endure while newer attack aircraft were being developed and when they were deplyed the poor orld stuka had to keep soldiering on because the new ground attackers were unreliable, so they had to fit whatever they could to fulfill the role.

>B-17 ball turret providing close air support

I will still never get over how fucking stupid this is. I know they wanted a chopper gunner type of killstreak, but I'm almost positive they could have found something that fit the bill more than what they used.

It's clearly just the Japanese variant. Remember that their driver side is on the right.

>>389469370
>Gaijin the makers of Warthunder really do their research well.
Except when they pull secret documents out of their ass to buff Russian tanks, dismiss offical German papers as propaganda so they don't have to buff a tank, base the reload speeds on nothing in particular, randomly shave off armor from a tank whos single boon is its armor and add bad armor modifiers, but only to certain tanks because cherry picking for glorious mother Russia is fun.

>>389470073
I found that kill streak to be super retarded. Like do you really "NEED" a chopper gunner in a ww2 game? Just make it a carpet bomb kill streak or something. I can't think of a single ww2 weapon or vehicle that would even be used anywhere remotely close to a chopper gunner

>>389470073
>but I'm almost positive they could have found something that fit the bill more than what they used.

If i remember correctly there was a B-25 used in the paciffic theater that was bristling with guns for that very purpose. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

>>389469854
PS2 was the golden age of those games.

>>389470584
The b 25 mitchell did have side gunners that I guess you can use as an ac130 or chopper gunner killstreak but I mean it was never used for such a thing

>>389470073
Why not just control a dive bomber / strafing run?

Reminder that they reduced the maus turret armor by several millimiters, give soviet tanks earlier than other nations, overtier the tiger, give soviets well armored derp machines while refusing to give us the sturmtiger, giving us the sturmpanzer 2 which is a glass cannon, making the brumbaar a premium and other things i cant remember because holy shit.

By "this" what exactly do you mean?

same thing but instead of a 75mm in front, 4 more .50 cals

these planes were used for anti shipping warfare, crews noticed they didn't even need the 75mm for sinking japanese cargo ships and often removed the canon for more .50 cals.

>>389475008
