Why don't carrier spawn points have the same AAA cover as airfields do? Historically carriers were practically floating AAA platforms.

When you hit a vehicle with enough high explosive that the armor shatters. IRL an IS-2 could blow the UFP of a Panther to bits but I don't think it's modeled quite that far in game.

Any other nation and I feel for you, though. If you're even remotely competent the game will shove you into higher BR brackets to fill matches.

>>168479375
I thought hull break was only in effect for very specific light vehicles? I know some BR2.0 German tanks can get effective thicknesses above 50mm but if you can just hull break them instead then the Ho-Ro has gone full YOLO.

>>168480361
Well i can understand his anger. All countries around 1-3 have smaller caliber guns with an equal amount of reload time making it balanced however, with the fact that germany kept the same gun and perfected sloped armor and made the cheeks of the turret so thick(for 2H atleast, the 2P is relatively easier), you would need at least the final shell type (mod1944-230mm pen) to actually kill anything inside from over 500m away, that and due to such high caliber means suffering from reload time(but also means a majority of one hit kills) and germany instead sticks with the low cal88 only really researching advanced ammunition and slight modifications as per the T2P/H stock shells have same/more than a is-2/mod1944 final shell which only gets 207/230mm(pen) with a much higher reload time putting russia at the disadvantage

>>168480767
I recall all tanks being able to hull break, just that SPAA will hull break 100% of the time with certain shell sizes.

If he gets the drop on you. Point your hull at him and your UFP has 140-200+ effective thickness and the shell-eating vision block protecting most of the 140 segment. Again, Germans have been dealing with having big, flat UFP's that barely withstand enemy shells since Day 1.

It used to be you could make your tank look like it was burnt out but that got abused, not sure how bad it makes it at lowest now.

>>168492803
No, that was the massive decal size. You'd get a club decal or 8 ball decal, blow it up to maximum size and plaster your tank all over with them. That's why decal size got nerfed.

He's talking about camo quality, the ability to make your tank either look like it's a rustbucket that's been out in wind and rain for a year or look like it's fresh out of the factory

Hard to do any "git gud" when there is no fucking time in a game to actually try to maneuver! If your real lucky you might get a kill when you follow that B17-Do17-any russian magic bomber down. With a red plane with a shot up engine.

Or choose to not follow down, have a yellow plane cause the bombers somehow magically can hit a plane a mile away while the plane is turning and changing speeds. And all you get for your effort is a divebombing strategic bomber that if your lucky gets you an assist. Fuck this fucking game.

It was build you nigger.

Just unlocked the 5.0 lineup before he BR change, came back from uni a few days ago and as expected the D-5T is 5.3.. Piece of shit has dragged me into more 6.3 games then ever, my KV-2 and SU-152 bounce all the tigers and the module grind is pretty fucking slow.. When will they revert the BR changes for the T34-85s? Ridiculous.

Any help?

Does Gaijin even bother with balancing the low tiers? The Spitfire mkI is the most disgustingly OP vehicle I've had the pleasure of playing, and that is coming from someone that played the WoT tier 5 KV.

>Do you plan to add fighters of the 6.0-6.3 BRs for the USSR and Germany? At the moment, these nations experience certain difficulties against allied teams using Gryphon 22/24s and Bearcats, since the above mentioned fighters at the BRs 6.0-6.3 are superior to the Soviet and German aircraft at the 5.7-6.0.

Why do people STILL want postwar crap (that barely had a service history) and concept axis vehicles that never existed just because they DONT like the performance of their 5.0 planes? Can't we get past the fascination of some "literal what" post war Brit/Burger plane and fugly BlomVoss concept prop/jet?

Like seriously? What else is there to add, unless you want to go full World of Warplanes!?

Listen. Just make the D-series P51s and P-47M&Ns br go up to 5.0-5.7, while keeping the 109Gs 10+, Ks, and 190 Doras stay at the same br AND SOLIDIFY 5.0 battle rating as the main tier 4 match up for all players. Just kick everything out that's 6.0 into it's own stupid postwar tier

Wouldn't it be better if P-51Ds, P47Ns and Spitfire LFs solely fought against 190 Doras, Do 335s and 109Gs? Fuck, even add the P-38 LO to 5.0 and if there's a vacuum at 4.0 America (even thought there wouldn't) then tell Gaijin to add the P51C and razorback P47 like >>168490712 is saying

They should just dump all the Griffin Spits, Tempests,Bearcats, the La9, the one or two Yaks and premium tier 4 slav stuff and early era jets into it own stupid tier.

Mobility, test drove the ISU-22 before the update(still can for some reason) and the mobility is just painful. The number one thing I do is stick out & in again, and that traverse won't allow me to. Sure I'll loose 15mm of armor and the MG, but the mobility of the 122P is golden in comparison

>>168525407
Hm, the T34-100 is 6.7 though.. Is the T44-122 better? The reload seems pretty bad, but if it's better then I can defiantly take it

Lower profile, better slope. Slightly better mobility.

It's still a soviet tank destroyer and that means fuck long reloads and extremely bad gun depression. On any map with any sloping terrain at all it's worthless, and on city maps that long reload makes it unacceptable for brawling. The only way to succeed with it, if you enemies aren't complete tards, is to choose a busy street and camp it.

Also the higher BR means it will face KTs all day every day.

>>168526310
>Also the higher BR means it will face KTs all day every day.
Yeah I know, was planning on putting it along with the T44, IS-2' 44 and ZSU-37

Any reason the Ta-Se keeps getting ignored? I swear I take this thing out and get ignored the entire match until someone figures out why their planes are turning into lawndarts.

If you want to have some fun in WT:
Get into AB, preferably in a BR with as many vehicles on the list of "Lightly armored vehicles that should be easy to destroy" from last week, get some kills you you can either spawn in a bomber or support fighter, then just kamikaze into those tanks over and over. No deaths are added and you get a bunch of kills

I can see that you're a dork even through that filter. Congrats I guess.

>>168547207

He literally says that a sherman and a t-34 tanker didn't understood how uncomfortable it was inside the panther at the end of the video about the panther.

Other tanks were cramped but the T-34's turret was just silly

The T-34-85 got a bigger turret (for the gun, fuck the crews!) that had a bit more space and was cramped in a way you'd expect instead of "no fucking way does a person fit there"

>>168548123
The T34/76 had a gunner? I thought it had just commander, driver, radioman and loader.

fuck this dumb game

What's the best 5.3 BR 109? G-10 and G-14 have pretty camo but I don't know anything besides that.

G-10 and K-4, I meant to say.
