/wtg/ - War Thunder General

First for Su 152 HE most lethal tank in the game

First for planefags returning to their shithole event and them leaving the tank portion of the Chronicle event for good

Third for people who can't figure out how to do well in a p47 should have their accounts deactivated for being mouth breathing retards.

Ok thanks. Was wondering why I was having a harder time killing people in it than i remembered.

While we're on the subject of Bearcats, I have 2.5k eagles that I don't know what to do with, and I'm considering using them for the F8F-1B. Is it worth it?

Literally nothing would make me happier than this.

>>174560002

In my experience the F8F-1B can club even when completely stock. The only truly awful thing about the stock plane is the cannon spread, but that can just as often work to your advantage.

>>174560002
Honestly, that plane is just a joy to use, even stock. If you really want, upgrade your cannons because out of the box theyre pretty inaccurate, but damn. Its a good plane.

Its engine has a steep drop in performance above 3500m, isn't maneuverable enough to compete with low altitude aircraft at the same BR, and it has the worst thrust to mass ratio of any 109 in the game. It's workable, but nothing special.

>>174565492
I can get it up to 660kph at 2000m in level flight and roughly 10 minutes on WEP before the engine overheats. Fully spaded, however.

>>174566269
Is the WEP still time limited?

>>174566331
Yes, but it should be because it only had a limited amount of the water-methanol mix. We're missing about three different kinds of dry wep on every american plane, though.

Is it possible to play the T-44 in AB?

>>174592859
You'll be facing Tiger 2's T29/T34s, and IS-6's constantly. You have no chance of hurting them from the front but every tank, those heavies included, will one click your turret. Flanking has a low chance to work since AB.

Never use russian 85mm in AB at any BR higher than 5.3 or they'll be useless.

>>174593260
It has APCR now, so you can at least penetrate the weakpoints of those heavies.

I mean you'll still do dick all post-pen damage to them, but at least you can penetrate them before getting sent back to the garage.

>lf mk ix with """"""""biplane speed"""""""" keeps up with my D-13 in a dive
I'm fucking done with this game

>>174593260
Yeah I suspected that.. Oh well, maybe time to switch over to RB in time for the T-44. Hopefully I have some more aircraft by then

>>174593325
Can APCR really do that? I guess for the Henschel Tiger 2s flat turret front, but I thought it'd bounce off everything, especially the IS-6 and trolley Porsche mantle

>>174593535
Porsche mantlet it will do just fine, it's thin enough on the flat that even it's previous AP round could penetrate it.

IS-6 though, no clue. I haven't played the T-44 since that was introduced. I actually haven't faced it in anything other than an M-103, in which I blew it out of the water quite easily with it's buffed AP round.

>>174593585
Realised that the T-44 has a new APCR shell, didn't you? 230mm of pen, more than enough to go through Tiger IIs and the T29 series tanks. Gotta be nice and close to em though, it loses pen very quickly over distance.

>>174593585
It has a 230mm pen APCR now

>>174593535
It has one APCR round that can penetrate the weakspots of Tiger 2 and T29/T34's but you only get that round after grinding over 60,000 rp for modules. You'll still be at a massive disadvantage 1v1 vs them because of the damage disparity.

>>174593632
Really? My Tiger 1 shells bounce it off all the damn time... Only tank I can reliably pen it with is the SU-152 with it's large APHE with 167mm pen, which is so big it almost always hits that little bump

>>174593813
Just gotta aim better, really. You wanna hit it pretty much smack on the coax MG port. It's thinner than the Tiger II(H) turret face (though I cannot recall how much thinner), it's only strength is the possibility of bouncing off it with a misaimed shot.

>>174593796
Fuck.. Is the T-44 really worth it then? It seems to be better just taking out the IS-2 mod 44 & SU-100 and just keep the T-44 as a backup

>>174593950
I suppose, been extremely close to it and yet the damn thing bounces off that little pike.. Only been able to kill it with the Panther D

>>174593953
Ah you're missing a key point here, and that's to not be in front of one of these heavy tanks to begin with. It's got excellent mobility that you should be able to keep one step ahead of the slow ass heavies, ending up in front of one of them with their gun pointed at you is a pretty good indicator that you've fucked up somewhere along the line.

>>174593953
None of them are worth it thanks to the Tiger 2/IS-6/T29/T34 holocaust. These tanks ruin games for any tank above 5.3 without post war shells.

>>174594015
He's talking about AB.

>>174593953
>>174592859

I'm the anon who in the last thread expressed disappointment in the uptiering duffered by the T-44. You might as well skip it and go directly for the T-44-100, trust me, not worth it, my roster is made up by T-44, IS-2 mod.1944 and PT-76 (dem HEAT-FS), and every single game is an uptier fest (IS-6 spam, American moving bunkers, etc) and ends up with an usual -8000 SL. APCR will bounce 99% of the times

>>174594015
Gonna have to play RB for sure then, no way in hell it's possible to use that thing in AB. Could be fun flanking, but I don't think it's gonna play as a big role for my lineup as a medium. Just cap and flank tank

>>174594047
Tell me about it.. Just want to press leave game whenever I get uptiered in my nazi 5.7 or slav 5.3.. It's the definition of impossible to flank Tiger 2s in AB unless you have a big pack of friends.

>>174594102
Fuck, gonna have to buy premium to get through all the required XP then.. Don't wanna sit with 5.3 or the 5.7 lineup for 3-6 months straight. Or I could just go with the IS-2 44, SU-100 and then the ZSU-37 to call it a day. Maybe buy the T44-122 if I get bored

What's the point of this thing when I could just play a Bearcat?

>>174594239
The T-44 was a really, really fun flanking tank for me back when I was grinding through the Russian mediums, and this was back when it didn't have the 230mm APCR and was at 6.7 to boot. Kinda sad that the T-44-100 wasn't in the game back then, would've make a perfect run on from the T-44 rather than jumping straight into the T-54. Definitely feel like by now it needs a downtier to 6.0, honestly.

Oh also do not buy the T-44-122. It loses all the advantages of the T-44 only to gain a slower firing version of the gun on the IS-2. Shit is garbage, grab the T-34-100 instead if you don't already have it.

>>174594394
Yeah, the heavy fighter problem isn't something exclusive to the F7F. They basically serve no practical purpose in the meta of war thunder over their fighter counterparts, unlike in real life where they'd be used for counter shipping and night fighting, when you couldn't fit a radar into a single engine fighter.

>>174594440
>Definitely feel like by now it needs a downtier to 6.0, honestly
I wish.. Could probably even be 5.7 since it's ateast more on-pair with the Panther D than the T34-85 is.

>grab the T-34-100 instead if you don't already have it
If it gets that 6.3 rating now when the RNG shit is fixed, absolutely. But it's still 6.7(even in RB?) and it's probably gonna make me get into even more Tiger 2/T29/IS-6 spam

>>174594239

Might as well grind with the T-34-85, IS-2 and SU-100/SU-152/ISU-152, rosters like these were real fun

>>174594595
Yeah, everything's gotten power creeped to shit nowadays. The 100mm gun is pretty much an analogue to the long 88mm, yet the Panther II sits at the same BR as the T-34-100 despite having far better armour and mobility to go along with the gun.

>>174594609
Next step is the "new" slav 5.7, I think the SU-100 and ISU-152 are 6.3 and 6.0 respectively though. Doubt the T-34 can cope at that rating, literally just a cannon fodder when I get uptiered to 6.3 in the D-5T

>>174594672
>yet the Panther II sits at the same BR as the T-34-100 despite having far better armour and mobility to go along with the gun
It got a 7.0 rating back in the February change. But yeah it should definitely be 6.3 now

>>174594680

I dunno, I remember when I played T-34-85, IS-2 (not 1944 mod.) and SU-152, it was at least 25k SL per game, a constant clubfest

Fuck, I haven't played this game consistently in so long honestly. The last extended period of play I had was playing the FV 4005 for about a week before the giggles wore off every time I shot something.

>>174594762
Play the T34-85, IS-1 and SU-152 right now. The IS-1 is a fucking beast, don't know why it gets so shitted on. Bouncing everything, even at 6.3 and it's surprisingly rare to get one-shot in it. And the SU-152 is the most fun soviet TD I've EVER played! The T34-85 is what you expect it to be, love it when I get downtired

>>174594767
Gave up on the british line after the Firefly last year, and the Churchills horrible shells didn't help much against IS-2s either

>>174594916

Funnily enough, the IS-1 is the tank I have the most plane kills with, I think it was something about the turret's maneuverability

I grinded the British line with the Black Prince (when it was hilariously OP) and then the Charioteer, and I only ended up getting halfway through the Conway research anyways. Thank god Gaijin ended up putting the FV4005 before the Conway, I just used the GE I had lying around to free RP my way to it.

Trying to grind Brits in anything that doesn't have APDS or HESH is honestly cancer though.

The pen was nerfed but the huge buff to it's effective damage made it worth it imo. You won't be ezpz clicking straight through the front of high armour heavies, but penning someone generally means that they WILL die now.

Why are 50s so shit in this game (RB)? I just finished spading my P-40E with 6 M2 brownings and most of my kills required more time on target than they did when I was flying the I-16 type 24 with 4 ShKAS MGs.

These planes are both the same BR and I used the best ammo belts available for them.

I know the I-16s' ShKAS MGs have a much higher cyclical rate but the P-40E has 2 more MGs that fire a much bigger projectile.

I used to fly America a lot about a year ago, and I remember 50s were shit pretty much tier 2 and on (especially M3s at tier 5), is this still true?

Very few American fighters have more that 6 M2s and once you get to the tier where M3s show up every other fighter has 2 20mms at least.

>>174596110
Really? That explains it. Really like the yak-1 and LaGG 3-8, although turn time is absolute garbage

>>174596000
that was my hint to literally only fly the P-47

or the PBJ and F-82 if that's what tickles your pickle

>>174595316
the issue is the clappers don't have the means to deal with any of the shit in this event unless you're rolling an M47

>>174595762
Because the FI-T rounds for ShVaks are basically the best rounds the plane can have. And stock ShVak is made up of 50% of FI-T, the only problem is the other half is AP-I.

>>174596328
trust me the M47 isn't worth shit, even with it's garbage heat rounds

>>174596349
Gonna enjoy the soviet planes then.. Already having fun in the SB-2M 100, not sure if the BB-1 and its 4 7.62mm can do more than dive bomb though...

Which WW2 radial had the highest power to weight ratio?

>>174596259
Yeah, the P-47 is great. As for the PBJs, I'm talking about fighters. I haven't flown the F-82 in a while but I can't imagine it preforms well at its BR, but it does have a great armament if you install the gunpod.

>>174596652
>but I can't imagine it preforms well at its BR

is this a joke

Am I just retarded or are rounds that aren't incendiary and/or fragmentation literally worthless?

>>174599304
planes are made out of thin sheets of aluminium with very narrow aluminium spars throughout

because of this armour piercing rounds are not going to cause any appreciable spalling, nor are they going to be able to impart any significant amount of kinetic energy into the thinly armored target. aside from the engine block, these rounds would be useless

so that means the easiest way to damage aircraft would be to ignite their highly flammable fuel and oil vessels, or destroy their planes control surfaces and/or structural integrity using explosives

tl;dr yeah no fucking shit

I very much appreciate CoH 1 & 2 for what they are; games that exist between the space of the typical RTS and "Real Time Tactics" genre.

They don't try to be historically accurate or simulate much anything, but aren't Red Alert-tier basebuilding and resource gatheting RTS.

Both games also have top-notch A.I. Whenever I feel like wanting to have the eastern-front 1944 experience, I make a match, put 4 soviet "Expert"-level A.I's on other team, set the gamemode to "Annhililation" with increased population cap and have at it.

Things get quite nightmarish at the 20-minute mark.

>>174616896
ShVak has below average HE. You should use belts that have a nice amount of FI-T. Also according to the wiki. Tracers are the best (From personal experience it has been the most consistent belt to me). It has:
Superior fragmentation to Universal
Superior HE rating to Universal
Superior "Physical projectile" damage rating to Universal
Also, FI-T makes up 25% of the Tracers belt, which is very lovely. Now have fun killing capitalists, anon.

>>174619259
Depends on your playstyle. The later LaLas are uptiered pretty high, and while I didn't enjoy the La-7. It's a spectacular fighter, especially because of how well it builds up speed. Use the I-185 (M-71) if you wanna boom n zoom with x3 ShVaks. You could also use the Yak-9P with the 37mm for intercepting fun, or the x3 20mm version for some extra firepower to take down fighters faster. Personally though, I found the I-185 (M-71) to be the best plane to grind Jets with. Its 5.0 BR and bullshit performance is great.

>>174608317
Neither. Wait for them to add the P-59 at 4.0 BR.

thank you very much
is air targets ammo usually the best way to go? I'm playing around 3.3-4.3
A friend of mine told me that it's always the best ammo, or should I check the sheet every time?

>>174620864
I can't say much about Japan, but he's basically correct, Air targets are the best belts to go with. Now BR doesn't tell me much, you should tell me more what planes you fly. Regarding the U.S.A, you should use Universal, because 60% of the rounds will be AP-I/API-T (You could use stealth if you have good aim, though). Tracers for murrica are sort of a meme, while they're basically "flamethrowers", your enemy will see you shooting from miles away, not really useful. Air targets are basically a no doubt about it choice for Germany and Britain.

Air targets on these? I'm researching the JU-87G2 then the one after it

>>174621139
Probably not.

>>174621230
Because it has objectively worse performance than a P-51.

>>174621494
Fortunately for me I only went through both fighter lines of Germany. A rule of thumb with Germany is just use the one that has the most Minengeschoß filler, so yes, air targets on every single one. Now I can't say much about the JU-87G2, but according to its armament, it will depend on your playstyle. If you wanna ground & pound ground units (such as tanks or light pillboxes) then just use the "Armored targets" belt for your 87G2, otherwise just air targets.

Are the R1 modification cannons worth getting on the Bf109? They're 15mm under the wings but I have a feeling they'll slow it down and kinda defeat the purpose of the plane

>>174622149
Fuck no, a single 20mm with Minengeschoß is enough to gun down most fighter planes easily. The only time I'd see "gunpods" useful for the Bf 109 is when it's late in the game, and the only enemy plane left is a bomber or some shit. So just mount the gunpods after landing on the airfield. after your plane is fixed/rearmed, just hold J for 3 seconds, you will be returned to the "selection" menu, where you will be able to mount gunpods, or even change ammo belts if you want. In short, just use them when the last bomber/attacker on the enemy team is being a pussy/nuisance.

Didn't an SU-100 destroy it by shooting its lower hull and turret?

>>174620864
For Russia use tracers instead of air targets.

>>174627867
Specifically for shvak cannons

>>174627993
The B-20 models use the same belts, so tracers on them work, too.

>>174621494
Not all the German heavy fighters are bad. The first and last me410 are great but skip the middle ones and I'm sure you already know how great the bf110 is.

>>174628078
Good to know. I'm about to unlock my first plane with those cannons. Time to join the la7b club.

>go make soup
tomato soup ? if not go do an hero

What is the best rank 3 Russian plane to grind the I-185 M-71 ? Please help

>>174631270
Yak-3P. La-5FN is also a good choice.

>>174631562
Thanks my dude.

>>174631270
I used porky's P-39, the Yak 9k is fun so you could grind it if you dont have the cobra.

The BF110 was fucking incredible, I played it and thought "yeah, I definitely want to get more heavy fighters"
I've already researched up to the Do-217 J2, so meh
I'll keep doing fighters and attackers until I can research the MEs

Do turboprops also require superchargers for altitude performance like Piston engines?

>if you get rid of the floats you take no damage and are basically flying an A6M2 (BR 3.3) with no weight from the landing gear

Holy shit the A6M2-N is fucking ultra easymode.

Hey this thing is actually pretty fun.
In fact, I wasn't even hit by a wave of regret upon rolling out for the first time.

Stock shell has decent penetration and fucks up internals, mobility is actually pretty good for a stock heavy tank and your armor works if you point it straigh at an enemy.
