>>174056857
Except that it doesn't take 3 months to get the T44-100
Bought a new mouse and use higher DPI setting than before.
I set mouse sensitivity to 1% and it's perfect, but every time I restart the game it resets to 5%
Also I can't find any way to change sensitivity in free look (holding c)
How do I fix this?
>>174056138

>>174056993
Nobody answered you the last time, and no one will this time either with that picture.
>>174056987
Also in my opinion it is in a better br than T-44-100. Also you can have IS-2 in your line up. Soviet 5.7 is really good

>>174057543

>>174060281
germany gets great tanks if you can play them right, but their CAS options are a little specialized
you get "whatever can load a 250kg/500kg bomb", OR "has 2 rockets that instarape whatever they hit", OR "it gets 30/50mm HVAP" and there's little to no mixing between the 3

The only good thing about this webm is that it seems you're using Tracers.
>>174054158
Slavs are perhaps on the level of japs when it comes to glorifying their military in media.
Every single document, movie, "tank simulator", the most striking example being "WW2 Battle Tanks: T-34 vs Tiger" has the soviet T-34 tanks being incredibly difficult to destroy, yet they can take out even the heaviest german tanks from a kilometer away.
It never occurs for them to try and explain why germans caused them such massive losses both in the air and on the ground.
>>174054559
what the fuck
>play on my account
>max uptier around 80% of the time

That is enough proof for me. There has to be some hidden factor in War Thunder that decides this shit just like in World of Tanks.
>>174071409
How else would they take pride in their glorious patriotic war, if they were to show how easy those things blew up?
>>174067748
These planes have a lot of history with finnish army.
They were used to resupply, recover wounded and deliver/extract finnish Sissi units deep into the soviet territory.
>when you unload sixteen RP-3 rockets into a clutter of enemy vehicles

Imagine if you could put an 85mm d-5t or 76mm M1 on the Comet.
That'd be awesome.
>>174073841
Why not a 122mm D-25T while we're at it?
>>174073981
Talking of guns of comparable size that could actually fit into the turret m8.
I really don't get why Britain had a fetish for that QF. Should've just licence built an M1 and be happy desu.

At least that means we'll get helicopters sometime soon.
Is something wrong with the event tasks? None of my kills or wins are being tallied up.
>>174053874
It was alright but the sub I was watching translated like everything as "that guy"
>>174062098
This. High tiers and lategame tier 5 is populated by weaponized autism. Players have literally 10s of thousands of matches in a single Sabre or MiG. You're not missing out on anything.
>>174073841
77 HV was designed because 17 pdr was too big for Comet's turret.
85 mm was too big for T-34/76 turret.
76 mm M1 was deemed "unfeasable" for Sherman.
British fitted 17 pdr to both of them, but at price of attricious ergonomics, severly limiting perfomance in any job other than shooting tanks.
>>174075116
Which choppas would that be though.
I guess the UH-1 for America is pretty obvious.
Mil Mi-4 and later Mi-8 for the USSR.
But what about everybody else?
I mean Germany had those WW2 era helicopters but those never had any armament.
>>174075914

>>174076829
i wanna cum on her belly
>>174076841
They were attacking B-17s and usually never fought any fighters because a couple of them would lure all the escorts away and then they finished off the bombers.
According to Lucas white P-51 were braindead would abandon the bombers first chance they'd get. This is why the Red Tails were created. The Afro-Americans would not abandon the helpless B-17s.

Nah, that's it. I give up.
Bong tanks in this game are just not fun in the slightest. The FAA is fun to do ground pounding with though.
The entire tree just feels like an all around worse version of America.
>>174079316

>>174080119
Just remove German tanks, it would make the game better.
>>174079212
There's really no point in bringing them back now that the T29 exists, it would either encourage them to teamkill for hull down cover or rush to a wreck like a retard, getting killed in the process.
>>174065003
That would not be samurai enough.
>>174080240
teamkilling was removed, don't you remember goy?
>>174079212
last wreck remains. Others desintegrate when you respawn.
>>174079212
Because Gaijin is staffed by morons who will drag down everyone on to the level of complete morons.
Tanks used to continue moving after being instagibbed, but because retards were retards and kept shooting at em so they made it so that tanks that are destroyed stop immediately regardless of what speed they are going.
>>174080381
>Block teammate
Indirect teamkilling exists, tovarischy)))))Or did they remove the blocking feature,
too?

But damn it's not a fun vehicles to use.
>>174079967
Does it actually deal damage post-penetration or does it mildly annoy the radio operator as is usual for Anglo guns?

>>174081429
no I do what I want :^)
>>174081481
Well British planes are basically one of the easiest in the game so you shouldn't have much trouble later on once you get the Spits with 20mms. Just don't engage in turnfights against Japanese planes (Basically any A6, A7 w/e models). Other than that you shouldn't have trouble killing any moron who tries to turn with you
it's nearly 12 hours since bore blunder was supposed to finish downloading and there's still an hour to go.
end my life
>>174081217
If only Britain had known that seventy years into the future their guns would be absolutely impotent in a Russian made video game because crews are terminators and a tank is only ever out of action if it exploded into a million bit or every crewman has been killed.
Should've used APHE.)))))
>>174081710
Alright, figured the Spits would be good. Just a few thousand RP left to leave this autistic BR...

As far as the timeline is concerned I think it'd make sense for Gaijin to add helicopters over more modern jets.
WT won't be able to handle stuff like the Mig-21 or F-4 Phantom. But as the event showed things like a Hind or an Apache are just fine.

>>174105919
wyvern is good if youre a good player
wyvern is useless if youre retarded
going ground attack with it is fucking stupid since killing 2 vehicles and rearming isnt going to do shit for your team
however, its fast as fuck (fastest at its br). lot of people wont climb in it because "its a sea level plane" meme, but you should always keep some altitude (2-3k before engine feels asphyxiated) in the event you need to enter a shallow dive. plus you can still get up your max speed pretty much that way anyway
you cannot play the wyvern recklessly. the slightest fuselage damage will absolutely gut its flight characteristics. that being said, always stay near your top speed, dont burn your energy when you dont need to, etc
>>174106710
addendum: due to its cannons (which i think are good) and its huge ammo load, its actually not a bad bomber hunter IN THE BEGINNING OF A GAME because its climb to 4500m is surprisingly fast, so sometimes its a good idea to just go that route, but you must remember what i wrote: the thing suffers tremendously once it takes any sort of fuselage damage - if their gunners hit, youre going to have a gimped plane. itll still be fast, but it wont excel at what its supposed to
Was the recent buff for the J2Ms noticeable?
Planning on spading them.
>>174106851
addendum #2: its top speed, even in a straight line, low alt, will not save you from a determined plane such as the fw190d series planes, a ki87, or basically any other plane bnz oriented
when theyre diving at 850-950 kmh and youre.. well, not that fast.. if you can successfully evade an enemys shots, youll quickly separate again, as theyll be bleeding off speed naturally.. if you live that first dive, youll generally negate any advantage they had

People have stopped buying it. Can they up the BR now?
>>174112965
Depends on the plane, some (tempest for example) have tiny wing tanks that will usually burn out before the plane is destroyed, others only have large tanks that will burn the plane down.
>>174112965
just RNG friend
>>174113161
Using the He 112s and no matter what the enemy is they never die from a fire but I die near instantly. I don't think these things have weak wings because I've ran smack into an enemy twice the same battle and same plane and my wing was damaged but flyable.
>>174113182
Seems like there's something more than RNG because that all happened just in the last few matches. No enemy is dying when on fire.

Be wary that I-185s are basically BnZers/Energy fighters, so don't expect to turnfight with a spitfire. On the other hand you can basically make any fighter plane explode from the x3 ShVaks. Also it's the only Russkiy prop that doesn't shit itself at high altitudes.

Is RB with Tu-4 still a good place to grind SL? I'm unironically in need of SL at the moment.
>>174168159
Yes, the only threat a Tu-4 can face is a Hunter or a very, very well flown Banshee. If you're downtiered, jets won't even reach you before you drop your payload.
>>174168841
Do you sideclimb or just go straight forward? how many 1500kg bombs for each base? Or should I use another payload type?
What's so special about the Banshee anyways? I get the Hunter but the Banshee doesn't have amazing performance nor weapons.

>spawn in IL-2
>drop bombs, kill fags as they leave spawn
>respawn in T-34/76
>best tank they have is Panzer III with long 50 mm, which you can pen from any range and angle
>>174169206
If I'm downtiered I just go straight forward banzai, Jets will either not reach you in time or will be at such a slow state of energy they'll die to your 23mms of doom.
Generally I have extra Tu-4s flying with me, so I focus on the airfield primarily (also even uptiered it won't be easy to take down 4 Tu-4s), while they take care of the bases. But IIRC a 1500kg bomb is enough to take down a base. You'll need about 23 tons of bombs to take down an airfield.
>What's so special about the Banshee anyways?
I'm talking anecdotal evidence, but the Banshee is one of the few jets that seem to fuck with me for some reason, guess it's just me.
>>174169651
A single 1500kg bomb for a base? You're not lying right?
Well, guess I can always ask in game. If the other Tu-4 players aren't completely braindead they'll at least use the chat to distribute targets.

Don't take everything I say for granted. I'm just mainly that faggot who focuses on the airfield, while my teammates take care of the airbases.

Look at armor on hull machine gun. T-34-85 can pen you. Also T-34-85 is 5.7 but IS-2 is 5.7 too. That will just go through you regardless.
>so few nazis around i get to kill bots in the event
is balanse))
>>174204309
Spam rockets, never uptier yourself on purpose. Don't expose anything but the rocket rack when you can help it. The threat use to be anything with an 85. Rockets will disable anyone's gun usually at the very least.
Your biggest threats at your own BR are usually KVs and T-34s since they don't easily die to the rockets. Anything that's Pz-IV based or lightly armored is free food. Back it up with the M4A2, M4A5 Ram, T14, etc.
If you have another good goy frienderino, you fucktouple the firepower potential. I've gotten squads of Calliopes going and we can usually hammer out golden wagers with 0-1 losses in minimal time.
>>174206847

>>174236725
correction:
>so few nazis that i have been sitting in queue for 5 minutes now
>>174236529
85 mm can pen glacis anywhere, due to magic of Soviet normalization. Angle yourself to gain more armor, and you'll be penetrated through tracks even by 76 mm. 76 mm can also pen if it hits area where glacis and frontal cast are joined
>first jet game
>get downtiered
Nice
>>174236961
So, be careful and pick on non-heavies, basically? I guess I already stay a bit behind the front lines whenever I play AB.
Unfortunately I don't have a good goy as a friend, much less 3 of them.
>>174238105
Rush a point, get everything behind the rack in cover, spam rockets. Never be afraid to spam rockets. Try to land them on the roofs or cupolas. If you're 100% sure their gun is out, then you can peep out and click on them with the main cannon.
>>174238267
I'm usually a bit too cautious to rush points, it has gotten me ganked too often in the past.
Then again you have a nearly 7-1 kdr, so you must be doing something right.
>>174238435
I do tank Arcade until about Era III, so yeah. It's a totally different mindset from RB.
It's easy to get trapped into the notion that your Calliope is really precious and to not want to get 1HKO setting up, but the way you win matches/destroy an enemy team's morale is to appear right infront of their conga-line moving towards a point and then neutering them all as quickly as possible. The rocket rack is undeddable except to HEAT, and only rarely. No idea if they've tweaked it since a few months ago, though.

if there's a chance it will ricochet in war thunder, it probably will. (especially with the russian tanks) i'd just load APHE next time and shoot his turret ring, usually enough spash goes through to kill a crew or two, also you might get lucky and trap shot him if you go for the turret ring area.

>>174245792
Planes completely removed from tanks would be nice, sick of seeing idiots nose dive at you with rockets because they have a grudge against you
>>174246010
Planes need to be removed from AB Tanks.
RB and SB needs more plane vehicles, better SPAAG mechanics and a separate BR spread.
Or better yet, remove SPAAGs and planes from tank modes all together. :^)
Sim tanks is probably the most terrible game mode I've played. It takes triple the time to find a match and once in game it takes 10 minutes to find someone and that someone is in some cover somewhere nearly invisible.

If you liked the M41 Wanker, lights.
Med line is hell, goy up to HEAT-FS or don't bother.
M103 is better now that it has improved-AP damage, but is less durable than an M60A1.
You're missing nothing with the SPAAGs.
T95 is better now with APHE, but don't bother.
>>174251932

>>174252349
It's honestly not worth it, but I will need to buy it anyways. The gun is such a step-down from the 120mm. MAYBE if it had a faster reload, it would be worth.
>yak gets behind me
>open up with gunners

>>174252349
There is no reason not to get the T32 when most of your clap games will be against 7.0 Russians with T-44-100s and IS-6s or 7.0 Germans with Panther IIs. You will be trading the gun for a slightly worse one, for an invincible turret.
Should I earn enough awards to get the A33 Excelsior? I'm kind of on the fence about that.
What br or rank would you think it would be?
>>174252349
>>174252654
>>174253263
Im actually in a situation where I leave the T32 off my tank inventory so I dont get up-tiered and have to fight 8.0 HEAT lightsaber rounds after my T32 dies, which will invariably happen as soon as im not in a hull-down position
>>174253696
So? 7.0 is a black void making over 9 out of 10 games a 7.0 or lower game for you, and since you're not german you can delete Leoshitters form any angle with any tanks. German players do not have this luxury, but I still find the game more playable in my 10.5 Tiger which could be debated is worse off than the T32 with worse armor and longer reload.
>>174253093
>flying planes in 2017
Do you just want a bad time?

If T34 would get proper pen value for it's AP round(280-ish) it should be able to more-or-less reliably pen UFP of a Tiger II, right?

Lets be honest here, both should have never been added where they are, and probably were added only to break the BR braket and force people to shekel up or get clubbed.
Anyone else noticed when shooting Ferdinands through the front armor the game doesn't track the shell at all? No visible post-pen effect.
I kept wondering why the hell do I keep setting setting them on fire without penetrating.
>>174258401
I have absolutely no problem with that.
>>174258667
Ru-251 should've been a non-premium 7.3 vehicle just after KaJaPa.
I have no idea what to do about IS-6 though.

>>174258921
It should be either 7.3 or 7.7. The IS4M isn't worthy of a 7.7, but since the IS-6 is miles better than the 4M I'd say it's better at 7.7. Such a BR will make it HEAT-FS bait, but that's where it realistically belongs in the overcompressed BR tree Gaijin has ended up with.
>>174258921
>>174259198
Also 7.3 would be a realistic place for the 251, but that would require KanJagd to be lowered to 7.0 by all sense. It's a piece of shit anyway when stock.
>>174259429
With APCR ammo as stock, the thing would struggle at ANY BR. APCR is beyond uselessness.

you can do that in most planes if your speed is high enough. It isn't just Slav magic. I bait people 1-2km above me all the time by flying in a straight line at around 600km/h. They think I don't see them, dive down, I turn into them then zoom up after they miss their pass.

check if they don't have M110. These things are by all means imporessive, not just gun that fired 90 kg shells at distance of 17 km, but also fact it had 700km road range, and was still light enough to be transported by Hercules.
There was also long range viariant, 175 mm, which could fire 67 kg shells at 34 km, outranging commonly used 122 and 155 mm guns by 10 km-15 km.

Hey what's up with the third day of Chronicles? Why does it have different maps than the event if you need to do the event to get it? My progress isn't advancing.
>>174268360
The problem is the maps where you can just camp a spawn behind a hill and attack once the protection has wared off, and even if he respawns and knows exactly where you are he cannot do shit because you can pick your targets. This isn't only an White Shit Fortress thing either.

>>174267956
The best way to kill another enemy fighter is to hold your fire, get in close, and shoot when you're pretty sure you'll hit, ie if they're moving in a predictable, linear trajectory and/or when they're showing the full profile of their plane.
The best targets which you can actually do this on are people who have no idea that you're there before it's too late (that's why you hold your fire), and if you dive on them you can get a good hot at a large profile of their plane. Look for people who have no situational awareness, or people already preoccupied turning/chasing one of your allies. A lot of people know how to roll and evade most attacks coming from behind them, so if you're chasing a guy like that, consider disengaging instead of getting target fixated and have thing thing I said in the previous sentence done to you.
>>174268807
That doesn't stop me from flanking around the map where there are no objectives or tanks around. I can't count the games where I've simply driven to the enemy spawn and farmed, firing my first shot at some poor sod thinking he's safe spawning five minutes into the match.

Have you tried reading yet nufag?
>>174269159
Fly the He 112 with the 20mm. After that learn to aim. If you want to experience something completely different try the Bf110.
>people complaining about AP not doing damage
>they use the lightweight high velocity AP shells that tend to be 3-4 kg because muh penetration
>they expect them to do as much damage as APHE
if you want to do fucking damage use heavier AP shells
A great example is the stock shell on the m36 (11kg)
it doesn't have the penetration of the upgraded AP shell but it does actual postpen dmg
stop using lighweight shells and wondering why they dont do a lot of damage
>>174269502
I have both of those, I like the 20mm but I think my aim just isn't good enough.. The Bf110 is nice and all but I just get out maneuvered and shit stomped in seconds. I only ever have success with killing cars and AA with it :(

>>174269548
Are you trying to use logic to determine WT post pen mechanics?
>>174269718
In AB the target indicator appears when you're precisely 0.76km away from the target, but at this distance low caliber guns don't work well, Get within 0.5km before you even consider firing.
>>174270020
AB has faster matches but less rp per match, RB has longer matches but more rp per match. It evens out approximately, just play whatever is fun for you. AB is more newb friendly though, and it's far less punishing if you have the bad luck of having bad teammates (in RB you're absolutely fucked unless you're really, really good).
>>174269548
That's bullshit and you know it. No shell type in the game follows any recorded fragmentation patterns.

britain
>>174272034
Senpai there's no common sense about it. Shells just have two arbitrary numbers for damage and fragments gaijin pulls out of their ass, just like HE penetration. You'd think these things correlate to something, but they fucking don't. Pic related.
>>174272407
But it's my heaviest shell, man, obviously that's what I should be doing.The real reason i recorded it like that is I don't have the APDS unlocked yet on the jap M41.

Oops, it's just a coincidence it's a slav HE shell so high off the curve!

>>174270020
Generally Arcade brings less RP per activity and kill, but you get lots of activity, and it's fairy easy to get 10+ kills. Also nearly every vehicle has role in it, and flying non-meta vehicle won't fuck over you and your teammates.
Only real shortcomming is that you don't get that sweet vehicle research bonus from it, aside from branch bonus.
On the other hand it's a silver mine, with repairs 3-5 times cheaper than in RB, it's really hard to not come ahead.
>>174272510
Also, what's the point of this chart if you have no data for overall projectile mass?
>>174273289
That's largely irrelevant for HE shells. If it were solid shot I would have included kinetic energy at the muzzle, such as the M103's 1.3093e+4 joules for its solid shot with 281 mm best case pen versus the T10's 1.1281e+4 joules with its APHE with 282 mm best case pen. Definitely nothing fishy going on over there!
Why is the first Yak-9 so fucking good
>>174273741
All the yaks are good
>>174273625
Isn't the lack of disparity in penetration, despite higher kinetic energy, down to the fact that it's a regular AP shell vs AP(HE)CBC
Also, rounds having physical impact on tanks(like bombs do now) when?
How many silver shekels do you dudes get if youre playing Arcade battles as a tier 5 bomber and taking out bases?
Im getting like 4 times as many doing that ^ compared to my tier 5 tank battles where i do well with capping objectives and killing other tanks
>>174267956
>get on someone's ass
Don't do this. Shooting from directly behind presents a very small target that is easy to miss. Ropadope all day. Look up some basic maneuvers on YouTube.
>>174274341
It's not really a regular AP shell, it's got a cap, but since the cap doesn't look like slavic caps they refuse to count it. Also, solid AP has better structural integrity than anything with HE filler, so there's literally no reason the T10 should have more penetration.
>>174275040
Ballistic caps(or Windshields) don't affect penetration or ricochet angles, only ballistics over distance.
The M358 is an APBC round. If it was APCBC then it would be a completely different story.

>Ballistic caps(or Windshields) don't affect penetration
Are you retarded? Ballistic caps improve aerodynamics, reducing drag, increasing energy retention, improving penetration over range.
>>174276461
Did you read any further?
Penetration of a 120mm AP shot wether it has a cap or not is pretty much the same at 10 meters.
>>174276708
I'll better clarify that I mean a Ballistic Cap, before you sperg out again.
>>174276708
Did you? There was more to the earlier post than correcting anon's assertion that it was just a regular AP shell.
>>174276947
I did, and more than that, I didn't take only a part of a sentence to try and make him look like an idiot.
I honestly doubt this "better structural integrity" has any significant impact on this. Even it has, it's probaly off-set by the T-10s 2 more milimeters in diameter.
>>174277694
>significantly less energy
>weaker shell type

>>174267794
Is this for ground units only?
For RB Planes, I'm okay with maps the size they are. Bigger than point-and-shoot AB, but not "5 hours of of nothing interspersed with 5 minutes of pure horror." of actually flying a proper-scale combat mission.Truthfully, Norway always makes me mad since it's already dangerously close to hours of nothing with minutes of pure horror.
>>174280504
The air maps are okay for tiers 1-early 3, but once you're in tier 5 only spain feels like a good size.
>>174280504
Yeah, tanks only.

>>174291782
shoot under their treads near the front of their tank
>>174291782
Just use the good HEAT on the short nazi 75. Or aim for the hull mg port. Or aim for the least angled part of the turret.
>>174292035
>>174292303
Yeah, but they've got such an advantage, it's nearly impossible to react fast enough before they shoot you. I can some times hit them in the turret and knock out the crew, but then they just get away. Also, I'm playing American, when do they get HEAT rounds?
Did I today's event, or are there's still time?
