Truly a high-quality event with historical unit matchups
Obviously the P-51, P-47 and P-38 were merely creations of American propagandists))

Yea. We have some pretty good new vehicles.
Also some new maps and bounce mechanics.

>>140602453
Anything for planes though?

>>140602481
Nazis get 3 variants of a plane that had only 35 produced, and it's shit anyway.

2 versions of the P-61 added, it's shit

Sunderland and H8K3 added, they're _fun

>go arcade with 3 Antons
>30 kills in 6 games
>log out
why even bother with the RB events, they're all shit

What's the difference between the ki-61-l hei and the ki-61-l tei? Can't decide which to get. Then again they have quite long turn speeds. should I even bother with them at all?

>>140602727
Both have nerfed performance for no good reason
Hei has MG151s in the wings, Tei has Ho-5s in the nose, so obviously one is easier to use at longer ranges than the other.

>>140605551
Whatever Zero you currently have. Ki-61 otsu is good too, but much more of an energy fighter than other japanese planes. It's pretty much a japanese 109 or 202.

>>140605551
pretty sure ki-43 is king of low speed sustains

You get a free tank for your first victory, which one you get depends on what nation you chose and what game mode you played.

They would have to simulate FCS for M60A3.
T-72 is easy, because it's coincidence rangefinder already is in game.

For M60 you would need new keybind for laser. Point at object, lase it, computer calculates distance to target and elevates your gun (back then FCS would not follow target). From player's point of view, it would be point at bad guy, press "lase" button and second later lay near perfect shot.

Also we have night battles now, so IR would come handy

You say that like it would be hard for Gajub to implement , the point is , they simply wont because of --------balance--------

Panther II had IR or NVG not sure which , it had them since GF was introduced and they are completly useless outside of denying you gun depression and making your sillhoute even higher

))))))))))))))))

>>140629312
For the same reason the Leopard is in the game? The game timeframe goes until the late 60s, why would they not get all of the upgrades they were given?

It would be pretty cool if tanks only got access to certain ammo when uptiered though. So the IS-2 44 wouldn't be able to use its post war shell unless facing post war tanks.

>>140629312
The same reason tier 4 is full of paper and post war shit )))))

>>140629856
or if choice of ammunition could affect BR of vehicle. Basically, you can use those APDS and HEAT in your T-54, but don't expect to meet anything weaker than M60A1 and Cent Mk.10 if you do.
Basically you use mid-60's ammunition, you face mid-60's tanks.

>>140627007
so long as you don't go nuts it doesn't make the game look much worse
if you just crank up the reds or greens it looks like IR vision )))

>>140630439
I'd really like that, it would fix quite a few problems.

Another thing - Is the frontal armor on the T-54 actually 12 cm thick, or is it just treated in such a way so that it's equivalent to 12 cm of RHA? And also, would that mean it would react to very large diameter shells differently?

>>140630665
T-54 Mod.47 had a 120mm thick glacis which was reduced to 100mm in later models for better weight distribution.

>>140631251
Right, what I'm asking is if the mod 47 actually had 12 cm of armor in the front, or if it was composite or something and just 12 cm equivalent.

>>140631480
There is no tank in the game with composite armor.

>>140631641
So the T-54s all actually have 10 or 12 cm of frontal armor? That's really impressive. How did they manage having all that armor while also being relatively light (only ~35 tons)?

why does it say 2 hours on my warbonds? will i lose them?

>>140626892

>>140631853
120mm plate was only intitial production. You can consider it test batch. Change of armor is small thing, supposely there has been nearly 1500 changes to project, before tank was accepted to serial production.

As for question. Serial production T-54 had 100mm thick RHA plate angled at 60 degree from vertical, so in straight line that's 200mm of armor. Strong angle also strongly reduced effectivness of HVAP ammunition aganist it.
Steel was softer than used in T-34 (290 BHN vs 350 BHN), to make it less prone to catastrophic failure of plate after taking multiple hits.
As proved by Yugo tests, it was unpenetrable to any 50's tanks and anti-tank guns except if they were using HEAT.

Turret was much weaker. Middle of turret was much less sloped, not to mention it was casted steel. 88mm Pak-43 and 90mm M3 could pierce it at ranges from 350 to 750m depending on AP round used.

>>140633998
it does
the 88-equipped one in the game doesn't

>>140634218
No. They built a single chassis. It's basically a block of metal.

>>140634758
No it was proposed , but not far from reality

>>140631853
>>140634045
as for "how" they simply made it small. Small tank - smaller plates.
Nothing's free though. Small tank has little space inside. It means it's harder for crew to move around (especially for loader who HAS to move around), and they get worn out faster. This affects fire rate. T-55 crew was expeced to shot 5-6 shots in minute, Patton's loader would not qualify if he could not load 10 rounds in a minute. Low placed gun kicks plenty of dust when firing, making it hard for crew to observe target and results of fire. There's little space for ammunition: doesn't sound like issue in War Thunder, but in reality 2/3rd of your racks would be occupied by HE for infantry support. Finally, low volume inside means there's higher chance for crew to be knocked out by overpressure when penetrated by HEAT shell of RPG.

>>140634880
can you stop putting spaces before your commas
I get that some grammatical stuff can be difficult, but come one

>>140635138
This all makes sense I suppose. It does blow my mind that the T-54/55 only have like 30 shells inside the tank - Even in war thunder with the maps the size of postage stamps it's really easy to run out of ammo.

Anyway, here's a meme video for your explanation.

Im not defending the implementation of the Panther II in the game ,it's simply the the proposed design , a Panteher F with the Panther II engine settings would have been fine it it's place as well.

You don't climb by angle in jets, you get up to a certain speed, then zoom climb until it lowers to a certain point, then you level out and repeat until you get to the right altitude.

If you climb by angle, low level jets at high speed will helicopter up to you when you're really slow and climbing
