right in my front through the turret. I'm really getting tired of this shit, everygame i play most people are driving SPAA now because you can just zoom around and flank and light up enemies.

Or in my case my armor is so shit apparently that this thing penetrated my front turret and it killed my crew

>>143523162
>7 August, a RAF Hawker Typhoon strafed a squad from 'F' Company/US 120th Infantry Regiment, near Hill 314, France, killing two men. Around noon on the same day, RAF Hawker Typhoon of the 2TAF was called in to assist the US 823rd Tank Destroyer Battalion in stopping an attack by the 2nd SS Panzer Division between Sourdeval and Mortain but instead fired its rockets at two US 3-inch guns near L'Abbaye Blanche, killing one man and wounding several others even after the yellow smoke (which was to identify friendlies) was put out. Two hours later, an RAF Typhoon shot up the Service Company of the 120th Infantry Regiment, US 30th Division, causing several casualties, including Major James Bynum who was killed near Mortain. The officer who replaced him was strafed by another Typhoon a few minutes later and seriously wounded. Around the same time, a Hawker Typhoon attacked the Cannon Company of 120th Infantry Regiment, US 30th Division, near Mortain, killing 15 men. An hour later, RAF Typhoons strafed 'B' Company/US 120th Infantry Regiment on Hill 285, killing a driver of a weapons carrier.

A tank that also can't pen soviets unless you flank, but guess what now you're in a churchill and slow as fuck.

It turned orange

>>143530091
thats it as for britain as far as anyone knows, with the sneak peak page up and the dev server opened, yeah its really fucking sad. also we got the only premium ATGM too.

>>143529631
This is how slav tanks get racked. In Western tank, even if rack gets hit, there's solid chance for you to GTFO before tank turns inferno, thanks to less potent, but more stable HE load, and better ammo placement.
But in cramped Soviet tanks, if propellant is lit up it will ignite HE almost instantly.
There's video of Saudi Abrams getting racked like it's T-72. This is exactly result of loading it with rounds as tightly as Soviets did.

>>143530250
This was only really made a thing with the M1 Abrams, the blowout panels.

Unsure if the T-14 has similar compartments, but I'd think so considering the separate autoloading turret.

>>143527882

actually reducing ammo load to as little as you can helps a lot. Unlike WT where it's just reduces chance for ammo to get hit, IRL it also reduces intensify of flames, giving crew precious seconds to get out.

They were pointless to keep as the siren fucked up the plane's flying characteristics. Bombs later also had whistles to make "the whistling" sound you hear when they drop. Psychological effect stayed the same and the plane was easier to fly without the siren. And unlike >>143538508 said, enemy didn't get used to it. Even in the game you shit your pants if you heard the bomb's whistle above you (before bombs were nerfed), but in real life it was all more terrifying. http://history.stackexchange.com/questions/2686/did-world-war-ii-era-bombs-actually-whistle

>>143539749

>During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Challenger 2 tanks suffered no tank losses to enemy fire, although one was penetrated by an IED. This was, at the time, unprotected by Dorchester armour. The driver was injured. In one encounter within an urban area, a Challenger 2 came under attack from irregular forces with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The driver's sight was damaged and, while attempting to back away under the commander's directions, the other sights were damaged and the tank threw its tracks entering a ditch. It was hit directly by 14 rocket propelled grenades from close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile. The crew survived, remaining safe within the tank until it was recovered for repairs, the worst damage being to the sighting system. It was back in operation six hours later, after repairs had been done. One Challenger 2 operating near Basra survived being hit by 70 RPGs in another incident.

>In August 2006 south east of al-Amarah, southern Iraq, an RPG-29 capable of firing a tandem-charge penetrated the frontal lower underbelly armour of a Challenger 2 commanded by Captain Thomas Williams of The Queens's Royal Hussars. The tank, which had already been hit by 10-15 RPGs, small arms and sniper fire, was attempting to draw fire away from another callsign that had become stricken. Its driver, Trooper Sean Chance, lost part of his foot in the blast; two more of the crew were slightly injured. Chance was able to reverse the vehicle 1.5 mi (2.4 km) to the regimental aid post despite his injuries. The incident was not made public until May 2007; in response to accusations that crews had been told the tank was impervious to the insurgents weapons, the MoD said "We have never claimed that the Challenger 2 is impenetrable." Since then, the explosive reactive armour has been replaced with a Dorchester block and the steel underbelly lined with armour as part of the 'Streetfighter' upgrade as a direct response to this incident.

Yeah I'm sure saying "Muh feet" over and over will change the fact that the tank was penetrated by an infantry weapon.

>>143540140

>the bottom of the tank should be impenetrable

We'll only find out after the driver get's his head blown off by an RPG, and then they decide to stick a huge block of armour on top of it.

>>143539819
>>143540128
he was not inside of tank.
at 00:01-00:02 you can see him behind rear of a tank doing something

>>143540427
That's a piece of fabric or plastic floating in the wind. There's debris on the ground next to the tank and at the right edge of the frame being blown around.

sabot rounds are a hit an miss, you mostly have to rely on exploding fuel tanks or ammo, which can either kill first shot or never detonate despite the module turning black as hell, basically relying on dice rolls.

All ATGMs they are adding act like HEAT-FS, with a ton of pen (plenty for Maus's side). They kinda forgot to mention it's probably the best ATGM getting added as unlike Sheridan, it actually has some armour and unlike RPZj-2/STRV, you can actually aim with the mouse in RB.

Yeah, ATGMs look like they're going to shake up high tiers in a pretty dramatic way. Keyboard aim isn't even that bad once you get the hang of not oversteering.

They're going to be ludicrous in AB, given you can just track targets with RMB and let the missile one-shot them. And the Strv 81 is 6.7, so look forward to getting dunked on in tigers.

I think the Sheridan will probably turn out the best of the ATGM tanks, actually; it's only BR 7, is fast and relatively low, and it has a main gun shot that'll also fuck things up, as well as SALCOS missiles for sniping people. RPZj-2 has no redeeming features as far as I can see.

We pretty much have them in the form of the various rocket tanks, smaller vehicles with AT rockets don't seem impossible, especially with armoured car tech in place, but there's no technical reason to not include them and they certainly existed.

>>143547829
RPZj-2 has speed, but that's literally it. Some guy that checked the files said that hand guided ATGMs are so fucked since the input is messed up, it's either 0 or 100. The second you try to steer the thing, it turns as hard as it can, so you can't do slight corrections. They'll probably fix it before release somehow, but hand guiding will never be as accurate as semi automatic. And BRs might be change, so Sherry might get higher BR. It was supposed to be faster too, I think, since top speed is 50km/h right now (should be 70km/h)

Why do people care so much about this? You're not getting the RP bonus again anyway.

they would be great addition to game
deadly but extremely fragile vehicles. If they were made very cheap SP-wise, they could be used as all-or-nothing option when you lose tank and cannot afford spawning new one

>>143552542
that's kind of what I hope they'd be, increase SPAA spawn costs to light tank levels, and let cars with recoilless guns take their place

>heatfs pens the side of the tank
wow!

Americans everyone!

I was trying to point out the ridiculous arc, but you can be impressed at whatever you like

>BR 8.0 confirmed

>>143552834
I didn't get on the dev server but I won't be surprised in the slightest if its flight model is literally copypasted from the La-15. Their specs are almost identical anyway

>>143552924
It doesn't accelerate as well in the 900kph area, but it doesn't suicide above 945kph. I'm not sure if it's better than the La-15.

The Yak-30 actually looks pretty good compared to the MiG. Still no La-15 though.

>>143552924
It doesn't rip above 950 km/h.

What are the new premiums that they crammed in this patch? The ones NOT mentioned in the Dev blogs, eg. the Uhu

>>143553024
>it doesn't suicide above 945kph
That alone makes it better than the Lala

But if it can truly reach its maximum speed of 1000+ kph then it shouldn't be at 8.0

>>143553386
no it doesn't
you don't _need_ to go above 945 to kill anything but MiG-15s, Hunters, and sabers
in my opinion being able to sit around ~940kph is more important, as you can outrun everything that isn't one of the aforementioned planes without having to dive

>>143553386
Cause having an acceleration of 1 m/s at 999 kmh is so usable.
