Not because of it's engines catching fire, but because of the engines being used for fighters.

Besides it was only meant as a test anyways, to show that if need be then the B-17 could use inline engines.

So busy started playing the bigger maps with the second tier vehicles. Why does everyone have a T-34? And what the hell, all of my shots just ricochet off or do no damage even in a direct hit on those T-34s. While their cannon knocks out my frontal armor of my panzer IV

>>147416937
>Why does everyone have a T-34
same reason people have Panzer IVs on German team and Shermans on US teams. Even moreso as T-34s are actually the best vehicles at their tier

>>147416937
Here buddy, I'll repost this from a few days ago.

Aim in same places as in these vids and you'll be fine. It's a 75mm HEAT with 100mm of pen in the vid (which you should have on your short barrelled Pz.IV) and if you have a long 75mm of the F2, you should be able to pen it without a problem.

https://u.pomf.is/fefxwh.mp4
https://u.pomf.is/fygpaf.mp4

I'd suggest you kill the gunner with a turret shot first, it's gonna prevent the enemy from killing you straight away when the RNG bounce occurs. And don't aim for the driver's hatch, you'll bounce 90% of the time. Aim for turret ring if you know you can pen it, it's the best way to knock one out fast.

>>147417446
this tank looks shameless how she demonstrates her hips

>>147417004
So the sloping armor actually helps them? I mean like it's not cosmetic,but as an actual feature in the game.

Man these higher tier tank battles are hard for me. I only have 1 adequate vehicle, the rest are from previous tiers. It sucks to be taken out in one round in these battles, whereas the previous ones I could survive a few.

>>147417446
Oh thanks! I'm actually new at the game (as if it wasn't obvious). I'm currently doing better with my short barreled Pz.IV than my F2 long barrel due to the upgrades I have for it.

I'm finding I can't take on the the KVs and T-34s head on and win. They instakill me, so I have to rely on a flanking maneuver. But even that is getting hard due to the insane range of the tanks now. Where 3-4 of my viable tanks are short barreled.

>>147417862
Yes, sloping actually helps them, a ton. You can check the armour viewer in the hangar, the armour effectiveness increases the more it's sloped. Not only that, but the more it's sloped, the more likely the shot is to bounce.

And you get used to playing things properly soon enough. You can't rely on armour on German tanks until Tiger, you'll get penned by everything. And you don't really need upgrades for the F2, stock APHE has enough pen, you just need to aim at the right places. Keep your distance with it, although the fast rate of fire and 100mm pen HEAT is pretty good at that tier. You'll get used to it, don't worry. If you're still struggling, use German TDs, STuGs actually have better armour than Pz.IVs and are actually quite fun.

>>147418402
>>147417862
Forgot to mention, you're doing the right thing with flanking. Seriously avoid getting head on with T-34s, they can fuck you with ease. The sooner you get used to flanking as much as possible (in all tiers), the easier your life will be

>>147418402
>>147418597
Oh, I didn't know german armor sucked. I right the game would compromise the non sloping with a smaller chance for penetration. I thought it was bs how my frontal armor kept getting penned by peashooters.

I do better with my short barreled Pz.IVs due to the faster reload, but the penning power at range is abysmal, that's why I like city maps. My F2 has no problem penning enemy armor, just reloads so goddamn slow.

>>147419038
German armor doesn't suck, it just takes more skill to use than Russian armor. Get used to the strengths and weaknesses and you should learn how to hold your own against them.

>>147419156
No, I don't mean like german vehicles, I actually mean armor,like steel. Yeah, I love how german vehicles have such nice firepower and range at their tiers.

308KB, 1280x720px

>>147419260
Right right, I misunderstood. Well, remember to angle the hull of your tank so that your armor is facing them at an angle.

>>147419313
atgm will one shot you anyway

>>147419313
At lower Tiers, angling won't help you, you'll get penned either way. Later on, yeah, it will help you on Tigers, Panthers, Churchill and Jumbos, but at lower tiers you are dead unless it's a KV-1

>>147419313
Holy hell, this is like a revelation for me. Thank you anon, I've been doing it wrong this whole time. I just position my tank to be straight as possible to try to make them hit my thick frontal armor.

>>147419470
It won't with with a Pz.IV F2?

>>147419390
not in a fucking tige.... Strv.81 is 6.7 isnt it.

>>147419510
Panzer III/IV have shitty armor no matter how you angle it.

>>147419470

this game feels like - you drive for several minutes then you are one shot, if you are lucky you one shot somebody too before you are one shot

it's like one shot galore... wot looks more fun

>>147419537
7.0 atleast it faces maus

>>147419586
Fuck me, I knew I should've gone with American or Russian tanks. But the firepower was too enticing.

As I said before, it was annoying being penned by british peashooters from a mile away

>>147419510
>It won't with with a Pz.IV F2?
Nope, sadly not. T-34s will still pen you with ease. Even angled Tigers will get penned by T-34-85 at their tier. Angling can help, but not a ton if your armour is still flat and thin. If you are keeping your distance, you might as well do it, but it won't help you much really. On stuff like Churchills, you can angle it so that your tracks are in their way, but like in Panzer IVs, there's always your turret.

You can see how much angling can help here https://u.pomf.is/lnfzsf.webm

>>147419724
you can always stay behind and shoot from far away?

>>147419470
>angling won't help you
Angling isn't a guaranteed savior but it can still help in certain situations/ranges and it's a good habit to learn anyway.

>>147419720
>complaining about Panzer 4
git gud nigger.
only better medium at that tier is the T-34.
USA and UK suck ass.

>>147419724
Goddamn Germans, Took them to the end of the war enough to angle their armor. Welp, time to research the StuG.

>>147419987
I meant the Pz.III and other tier 1 german tanks, the firepower and range are amazing for their tier.

How are the self propelled artillery pieces? They seem to have huge penning power at range and are relatively inconspicuous

>>147419923
The hull shape of the pz.iv prevents you from achieving any useful angling.

>>147419839
With German tanks, you can snipe yeah (enough pen), but the problem is you'll lose then. In order to capture objectives, you have to get closer. I mean, you can wear out the enemy by defending and camping, but you'll still get fucked when the enemy makes a hard push
>>147419987
>USA and UK suck ass
Yeah, if you suck ass. Cromwells are fuckig awesome and at 4.0 you get the first Churchill. You can whine about it getting penned frontally by SPAAGs, but that thing is awesome. And Sherman's 75 is good enough at lower tiers, the problem is when you have it on 75 Jumbo and it struggles at penning shit.

>>147420186
Max, Nashorn and Emil are all great.
They feature a gun that you otherwise only get at +1.0 BR, Max and Emil got insane gun depression allowing for some borderline unfair hull down action.
Nashorn lacks the gun depression but is more mobile.
Great bunch of tanks.

>>147420401
I'll have to check those out, the one I get rekt by the most and see the most is the Marder III, that any good?

>>147420250
>Yeah, if you suck ass.
They suck compared to what slavs and nazis field. I played teebs till T5 and the only tanks worth a damn are the Cromwell V and Achilles.

>>147420401
+2 BR in case of Dicker Max Its APCBC pens better than APCR of Tiger E, and is almost guaranteed OHKO.
First gun to top it is KwK 43 of Tiger II

>>147420673
Plays just like the Nashorn.
Good guns, okay mobility, bad gun depression.

simply because no gun depression, weak HE filler and armor that doesnt work.

Nobody actually thinks this a good game right? I play it every now and then because I'm aware I've developed a battered person syndrome. I just really can't find any glaring positives.

This game can only be arguably good early game, and then it just turns to shit and is a massive grind forever after. Not to mention how we still have the same old gamemodes for planes that we had in 2013 barring EC(only for sim??).

Why do you play this?

Im actually kind of pissed that the P51D is having its BR lowered again.
Fucking shit players who dont understand how to fly the p51 are making it so the p51 is starting to see planes that it would have never flown with or against and its widening the gap between the late american fighters between the p51 and the p80.
The fact of the mater is, the americans only have the bearcats now at late tiers. 5.0-6.0 is going to be almost devoid of americans

This .50 cal nerf is bullshit
Out of all the guns in the game, gaijew decided that the 50s were the ones in need of a nerf?
Fuck them

> almost unlocked ki 200

> no money to buy


fug

I have a couple of questions.

1.) Why hasn't anything been done to help prevent spawn camping in RB and SB tanks? I've been in three matches IN A ROW now, where one or two tanks have found their way behind our base, usually while I'm off trying to kill tanks across the map. Upon my death and respawn, they usually wait quietly in the bushes and then fire after counting to fifteen.
It feels like there's nothing I can do, and it's very frustrating.


Fuck, I was so frustrated I even forgot my second question.

>>147430946
thanks to gaijin's ebin "lane" map designs it's pretty much impossible flank and therefore avoid detection

>>147435101

only the D-5 is getting lowered isn't it

the D-30 needs to go back up to 5.0 though

>>147436640
Right, just remembered.

When I'm using the Yak-9T, why don't the 37mm rounds penetrate and damage tanks that I attack with it? The listed penetration says it should pop right through the roof armor of almost every tank. It doesn't. In fact, I don't think any sort of plane-based gun can kill tanks unless it's a big fucking 75mm Hs129B or something, and that's fucking dumb.

36KB, 417x568px

>>147437605

because it depends on the angle you're hitting the tank from

Come in from as straight an angle as possible. It's the only way unless you're using naziboo super hvap atomic rounds.

With the 9t you can easily come straight down on top of them, spray them from a straight angle, then pull up.
Just make sure you have enough altitude to start with, and don't get too greedy with the dive or you'll face plant.

I usually fly down at about an 85 degree angle. Sometimes even straight down. That or I hit them flat on the back while flying below treetop level, and I cannot kill anything. I can destroy an SPAA, sure- but I can't even crit tanks.

Also, the webm depicted the death of an NPC controlled, VERY low rank and low armor tank, while the slightly higher ranked Pz. IV appeared to have minimal damage. You do realize that AI tanks are very different from player driven ones in how they receive damage, right?

RB is easy. You just have to get the feel of where to shoot when you're leading enemy planes. No more aim assist. Honestly, I think it gets in the way. Plus planes feel far more unique in RB and SB than they do in AB.

> And don't aim for the driver's hatch, you'll bounce 90% of the time.
Wehraboo here. Seconding this. I've never been able to pen the T-34's driver hatch with my Pz IV. My shots just bounce for days and it feels like Gaijin is trolling me at times by turning a historical weakpoint into a bouncy plate of stalinium alloy.

The cheeks, MG port, and turret ring have all been good weakspots to shoot for. If you can get a shot from the side, then I like to hit them between the second and third drive wheel. That usually hits the ammo bin.

>>147417862
IMO, the left turret cheek (right from your perspective) should be emphasized. A penetrating shot there will take out the T34's commander/gunner. This will stop them from being able to shoot back until their crew repositions, which gives you time to reload and prepare another shot.

A general tip that is especially important for the germans is to remember to go hull down. The Panzer IV has greatly superior gun depression to the T34, so you can hide behind hills with only your turret exposed.

The Dickermax is a god at going hull down with its 15 degrees of depression. It pokes its gun over the hill at a rate of one kilometer/year, one-shots somebody through their glacis plate with its point-n-click railgun, and then withdraws back a meter to spend the next decade reloading.

German Pz IVs were decommisioned and sold abroad. Many was used by Arab countries as they were costing peanuts.
Shermans were mostly removed from service right after war and only limited number of M4A3 HVSS with 76mm and 105mm remained. M4A3 (76) returned to combat duty during Korean war to supplement for unreliable M26, until enough M46 arrived. Last were removed from US service in 1955. Many was sold to Israel where, upgunned by French, they took part in Six-Day and Yom-Kippur wars.
3000 surviving T-34/76 and 7000 surviving T-34-85 remained in service, supplemented by additional 30000 T-34-85, produced between 1945 and 1959, both for demestic use and export. They were eventually replaced by T-62s and T-64s, last were removed from service in 1969.

Some planes overheat like crazy, and the longer you run the engine in deep orange/red temperature, the harder they will overheat. Find a throttle setting where you stay in the white or amber and don't go higher for long periods

Once you hit red your engine is basically fucked because even if you throttle down, the second you throttle up again it will go into the red again and then it's going to melt

Whats the best kindof plane ammo?

i just downloaded it and i cannot even find the tech trees, it is not very easy to even switch nations since they have that weird side scroller, but since i can't find tech trees i don't know what vehicle to choose... neither i sure for how long i should play it since i don't see any xp bar or something

furthermore, i opened the main menu in the top left corner and it refused to close, it stuck opened forever, esc or clicking menu again don't work, i even chose exit and it asked me if i want to exit this game

wows also has an additional top tab bar which has a tab named "tech tree", you literally can't miss it as soon as you open the game; this game... i had to go to work so i still dunno where the tech tree is hidden but if one should press something more than once and can't find it immediately it is considered hidden and those ui devs should be fired

also the bug with not closing menu is not justifiable whatsoever

wows is a nice game but the targeting eventually really gets on my nerves... i mean you should estimate lead of several hulls for shells which fly for like 10 seconds to an angled target (and the distance of lead depends on the angle) which also changes her course and you are supposed to aim at a specific part of that target too when you are lucky you even hit it... not to forget you also have dispersion of your shells higher than the length of your target; you have a plenty of guns though

anyway it's not a thread about wows

i am waiting for wt ships, i want more realistic ships than wows, i think they promised them soon, who knows may be even in this summer

p.s., how about my question of atgm? are they good for killing with impunity?

I fucking miss when the P-51 was back at 5 or 5.3.

Playing over Bulge with Spitfire and Tempest bros whilst dishing it out with G10s and D9s was mad fun.

Is it a coincidence that every time I get a golden battles wager and activate it, I get uptiered every match?

>>147477661

No.
It happens even just for high-percentage boosters.

The P-80 is a fast plane, more news at 11.

>>147477840
what's wrong? you don't question when americans are queued vs soviet when they were allies in ww2, do you? realistic battles only mean that the text of one nation doesn't fight itself

*tech

>>147478054

>being bad

shooting stars have terrible acceleration and shit top speed

sounds like you fucked up and are omitting this

>>147478410
depends on the tier, soviets were axis to start with.

Do the Dynamic Campaigns actually get you anything or is it just for fun? I know it's a leftover from their other games.

>>147478893
I think they give you lions but that's it

I was literally running away from him in a straight line and he caught up to me

>>147478582
lolwhat
no they weren't
they fought poland by themselves and also took some finnish land before that (and finland was an ally of germany), so they acted by themselves

they were a potential ally of germany though... who knows how the ww2 would end if they indeed were in the axis, it would likely have gone to the stage when both sides would use nuclear bombs, the england would have fallen... not sure about if they could attack the usa on their ground

the axis it's germany, italy and japan, they never had another member (albeit had some minor allies like the aforementioned finland)

>>147479159
Is that how you modern day germans rationalize your betrayal?

>>147479276
germany violated the non-aggression pact, it's not the same as an allies' pact
