tl;dr we got tricked by Gaijin again and apparently the next patch is going to be another small update, we won't get the ship cbt until December (just like the tank cbt)

There were no tasks for the original cbt, are you thinking of the British CBT? Because then yes you'd be correct.
The only way to get into the first cbt tank was to buy the T-34 or Herman the German Sherman packs.

>In Enduring Confrontation mode the mechanics of the reward that a player receives have been changed. A player receives the first half of the reward normally (right after destroying an enemy unit, base or by performing any action that gives a reward to the player) and the second part after safe landing on the friendly airfield. This change should limit unfair bailing by pilots from their aircraft instead of returning to a friendly airstrip to rearm and repair their machines.

why is it tiered so high anyways?

I thought it was just a slav copy of the B-29

why does the Drakon perform so much better post pen than the SS-11?

SS-11 has higher pen and explosive filler, all off which should increase the damage done buy the Munroe effect.

reminds me of this

>>154127423
it's about 4 times as durable as B-29, has higher payload and has .50s replaced with IL-28 turrets.
So rather than fixing it, Gaijin dropped them into jet battles, because no one cares about jets

>>154128576
>4 times as durable as B-29
the tu-4 is far squishier than the b-29 and literally capsizes upon damage to its engines, which doesn't even happen to the latter

>>154127476
it's not explosive filler, but warhead.
And yes, Dragon should be less damaging as all Soviet ATGMs use deep penetration cone, which increases penetration, but at price of less destructive post-pen effect.

Looking forward to projectiles having actual dimensions and not just being a single ray cast point.

translation: You never used a joystick before in WT.

Anyone that has knows you are at a disadvantage in RB compared to keyboard + mouse users.

>>154135795
That's why you use it in EC you retard, saying it was a waste of money means you're trash with it. Simple as that.

>>154135874
It pretty much is unless you play only EC.

I don't get why this is so hard for you to understand. There is no point to using it in RB/AB and in tanks doesn't even make sense.

It's a fucking waste of money unless you want to be a professional autist and play EC all day long and at that point you may as well play a proper flight sim like DCS

Germany has the best Tier IV vehicles in the entire game, this is a fact.

I like that you say that, I'm close to getting more of those tier vehicles unlocked.

Maus is overtiered
Fight me slavshits

>>154155590
As a slavshit I'd be interested to try out the Maus at 7.3.
The T-54 at 7.3 is pretty much invulnerable when downtiered while being fast as all hell. The only problem would arise on big maps like Kursk where non-postwar ammo of the 122 would struggle to pen the Maus even from the side.

Without that lucky downhill, a long 88 has problems penning a IS3 even from the side. Also the only way for a long 88 to pen frontally the IS3 would need to be angled or hope for a lucky shot in the turret ring. Implying stupid shit like "IS3 is worse than KT" just tells loads on how handholded russian you are.

Would it have been a cunt destroyer had it actually saw service?

>>154157545
Considering the japanese war situation? No.
The japanese had good planes like the J2M, N1K2 and Ki-84 but the industry wasn't up to the challenge to mass produce complex engines. The time when the bases and factories wouldn't have been getting literally nuked, it would've been grounded by lack of fuel and technical failures.

Even if I'd written multiple books on the plane I wouldn't try to predict anything Gaijin is adding. No matter how well it performed/would've performed, Gaijin will make the final call will it club or not.

My personal opinion is that it will:

>can't turn with spits
>climbs worse than the J7W and N1K2
The typical "high altitude fighter" fare. HAF is basically a meme in WT, and it translates to "turns bad, climbs bad". Also good high altitude performance means jackshit when there's a Spitfire mk 24 above you, and I can assure you, there is.

>>154159019

I consistently do quite well in muh german steel on large, open maps with lots of hills and such- like Kursk and shit. I tend to find somewhere with overwatch of open ground I expect the enemy to move through (bonus points if it'll give me long-range flank shots) while also offering a position where I can completely conceal my tank behind terrain and just scout shit out with my binoculars until I see something to shoot

what the fuck are you supposed to do on smaller, tighter maps? Everything I know about tank warfare lends itself to the way I play- positioning is king, and a good battle position is worth a hundred tons of armor. An attack, or anything more mobile than fighting from a few pre-selected battle positions, requires coordination between multiple tanks and at least one of them is probably going to get shot down before anyone has a chance to react to fire. I have no clue how people do well attacking in this fucking game considering the closest thing to teamwork you can get is avoiding teamkilling.

It-1 can fire turret down as well.

The IT-1 is still going to be king of ATGM.

- Can fire turret down
- Can shotgun people at close quarters
- Has armor that is actually good
- fast
- fast reload
- loads of ammo
- mouse guided

Swingfire has no armor, wont be able to do close quarters, likely a load reload because dual missile pods, and has low ammo reserves.

>>154191131
Also swingfire missiles will likely be able to cook off just from mg hits.

>>154191131
>good armor
debatable but its at least safe from most ACs which is a huge plus
>can shotgun
i dont have high hopes but maybe we get the min arming distance someday (300m iirc)
but i didnt mean ATGMs anyways i can kill IT1s pretty ez with my Cent Mk 10 and/or Strv but T10M and IS 4M still give so many bs RNG bounces that it makes me want to torch down the gaijin studio or whereever the slavs get drunk and "work" on WT
