Meh, I prefer extra welded plates to sandbags, but I know it would count more like spaced armour for heat purposes.

>>186386874
If anything it probably helps to make HEAT detonate prematurely like spaced armor, but it was probably just detrimental by adding weight

>>186387080
It doesn't help

>>186386874
I remember anecdote from somewhere that when Russians attacked Berlin and supposedly lost some tanks to Panzerfausts, some tankers started looting beds with metal frames and springs and planted those on top and to the sides of tanks.
Supposedly those worked quite well because there was a chance that the HEAT round would detonate beforehand rendering it near useless

You mean like this?

>shadowing a B-29

>>186387171

That's bullshit.

If they did something they made the HEAT warhead even more effective since during that time concept of stand off distance was not well understood and bolting on something that would make the HEAT warhead detonate further away from the tank had potential to make it more effective if it gave it better stand off distance.

For example I-TOW doubled the penetration from TOW by just adding a stand off probe.

practical armors like that exist, but it's not net that stops RPG, but some sort of low-frequency electricity flowing trough them, messing up detonator.

Not enough to matter at top tier, you might, if you're lucky find someone in a T-54/55 firing APHE at that exact spot that'll bounce, but that's pretty rare, and the weird spaced armor on the A1A1 will save you just as much if not more.

To be fair, you need to exchange the medals you farmed in the shop to get those vehicles and then start farming again. It's still a fucking joke, 30 kills in AB can be easily done in 5 games or less and you can get as many medals per day as you want. Also, you can simply choose which rewards you want.

Unless you're in 2000m altitude and cruising at about 350kph then no they can't, any plane that has altitude advantage over the Yak-3 has a major advantage

>>186413412
You misunderstand. Instead of simply pulling up and maybe doing a turn here or there, they always do that retarded fucking roll trick that burns out their energy and altitude, I don't give a shit if they actually pull up instead of rolling into even lower altitude

it also works VERY good with any high tier japanese plane that has 30mm cannons. you can open fire at 2km and obliterate anything before they even start shooting.
>mfw deleting B-29s from outside their weapon range

>>186413494
if they pull up then you just pull up and you get an easy shot, and if they turn they burn more energy than just fucking rolling out of the way? do you know what a snap roll is?

>>186413637
We're probably thinking different scenarios, when I play in my spits I simply pull up and they can't get a shot because they already burned their energy by doing a climb towards me, so the state of their speed is irrelevant unless they feel like stalling themselves out even harder. I only pull off snap rolls when we're at level altitude tbqh.

P-39s and P-63s are fairly stompish since they turn better than most burger planes, don't use it as your main strength though, just use it to help line up your shots better but not much unless the match is 1-sided.
P-47s are very pubstomp-ish since they get an airspawn, have very low BR for their performance and good armament, generally they're the best of the bunch. P-51D-30 is also pretty fantastic for its BR, but I prefer the P-47N series.
I'd say if you don't mind not turning and just diving your enemies most of the time, the F-82 should be your go to, since you can mount x14 .50 cals with each having a 1200RPM Rate of fire, so basically anything that even gets in your line of fire is most likely done for.
P-38s are pretty good as well, later ones have fairly good rollrates which can help you line up shots as well. Just don't give up all of your altitude to kill 1 plane, you're better off getting a "critical hit" or "hit" and pulling back up to 5000m rather than getting "aircraft destroyed" and getting barraged by 4 planes because you dove down to 1000m for that kill

Also the cobras 37mms are subpar compared to, say the Russian 37mm. In return though, you get much more ammo than the Soviet 37mm (Kingcobra does but I don't remember about the Airacobra), so you can be much more liberal with how you fire it. Just for the love of God bind different keys for different caliber guns (I set 1 for Small-caliber and 2 for large-caliber). This way you can fire either the .50 cals or 37mm seperately rather than both simultaneously. This helps conserve ammunition and can also help with your aim if you're not using stealth rounds for the .50 cals. Murrican 37mm might take some time getting used to, though, not to mention it's fairly inconsistent form my experience.

>tier 3 burgers think they can outturn FW 189

what were they thinking ?

>>186413403
>P-39
really fucking good, climbs like a 109 F-4 at low altitude while turning as well as one and being much faster and dives like a p-47, though it rapidly loses performance the higher you go. 37mm has low RoF and muzzle velocity but does higher damage than slav or nip 37mm which lets you one-shot even bombers when aimed correctly. best one is probably the N-0, the Q-5 has better guns but the 0.3 increase in BR makes it a lot less clubby
>P-63
P-39 on steroids, doesn't turn as well in the horizontal but it makes up for it by outmaneuvering everything in the vertical, climbs like a G-14 at low alt while being faster, 190-tier roll rate, still struggles at alt but not as bad as the P-39. C-5 is best one imo
>P-38
really good, early ones don't climb that well but is made up for with the airspawn that guarantees you to be above everyone, late ones climb with 109 F-4s and are decently fast but have overheating troubles. however the biggest strength of them all and what makes them fun for me is that they have the best flaps in the game that allow you to pull off some stupid maneuvers like outturning 109 F-4s and being able to easily stallfight yaks and even spits. all of them are good save for maybe the P-38E or the P-38L in an uptier
>P-47
the D models are good but the N gives you a lot more with not that much higher BR. outclimbs everything with the airspawn, fast as fuck especially the higher you go, rolls well, shitton of ammo, and the better wing makes it turn stupidly well, like better than a 109 F-4 well. skip the D-28 since it's worse than the D-25 while having a higher BR
>P-51
cannon one and D-5 are okay, but the D-30 is extremely good. outruns essentially everything it faces even in an uptier (the 5.7 D-13 only starts outrunning it above 10km), climbs really well, extremely good energy retention, and turns much better than people make it out to be at medium+ speeds, especially with the combat flaps that rip at like 600kph

Reliability of German tanks wasn't far from British or Soviet. Only tanks that stood out noticeably were American ones.
I recall report from endurance test done by British, where 3 vehicles of each model would to 3000 miles combine. 3 British cruiser tanks (Cavalier, Centaur, don't remember 3rd one) and 2 models of Sherman (gas and diesel) participated. None of British tank did that, all suffered failurtes before reaching combined 3000 miles. Both models of Sherman succeeded, and only 2 suffered minor malfuctions. One had engine oil leak, other had cracked gearbox case which caused oil leak too.

All I said is the D-5 is going to have relative difficulty compared to the D-30 in outrunning a Yak-9U (which I assume is the Yak-9 you're talking about). The Yak-9U isn't that terrible at altitude either especially compared to the preceding Yaks.

Just for my autism the highest I could find was 390 knots (722kph) for the Corsair. I love the Corsairs but it's kinda silly how they can exceed 70-100 kph of their historical speed tbqh

The real question is how does a G.56 outrun a spaded D-30 at high altitude?

>>186423623
Yes but he was still gaining on me until he hit his service ceiling. Is the Yak-9 really supposed to get to 250+ knots at just under its service ceiling? And then continue to fly strait and level at just under 250 knots?

>>186423894
Can we see the rest of this?

>>186423982
No it doesn't, at 10km which is the Yak-9U's service ceiling you should be easily outrunning him. He might have had an energy advantage.

The stat cards for all the planes are absolutely and unequivocally wrong. You just have to go by feel to figure out who you can outrun

>>186425531
Pretty much this. The only stay card that is remotely correct is the Yak-3. Top speed says it's somewhere 644 km/h and it does indeed redline at about 660. Everything else probably has an error of 100 or greater

>>186429271
Brit aircraft are great with stealth rounds. I think every shot of .303 stealth is incendiary, and with all the rounds you send down range you're bound to set them on fire. Stealth Hispanos are great too.

The hit sound you hear can be from many bullets, even in a short burst.

>>186415117
Do you typically flank or mid range brawl? The T-55 is a guaranteed one hit kill to 99% of tanks in the game if you're directly in front of them and put a APFSDS through the hull. However put one through the side and you'll take out a crew member or two unless you hit ammo. You can risk using the APHE, but there's so many meme slopes and spaced armor at 8.0 that you risk a bounce, which isn't a factor for the StalinDart TM.

Does anyone have anymore stories from the RU servers?

I'm not that far into the tree, but I had a game like this that earned me fucking thousands of lions. If you get stupid opponents and a stalemate game mode, anything's possible.

Back in the days of 3.3 T-34 golden wagers it was like prison rules

>don't put any decals on your tank, even Russian flags could get you teamkilled
>don't aim at or MG friendly tanks, because they'll take offense and teamkill you
>if you weren't speaking Russian don't say anything because they'll team kill you
>don't shoot an enemy that was already being shot at by an ally because they'll teamkill you for killstealing
>stay with the Slavic horde and hope you got a kill before the entire enemy team was wiped out so you can complete the wager

Made so much GE that way.

Honestly thinking of queuing on the RU server at some point and see for myself just how retarded it is.

>>186433764
Not that anon but they're better than the Brazilians imho as long as you don't piss them off. They're actually decent players while Brazilians are just plain retarded.

>>186433998
>while Brazilians are just plain retarded
There's actually more subhuman players in WT than russians?

>>186433764
With team killing turned off it's not quite the same.

>>186433998
I don't know if it's so much that they're good, they just operate on this strange hivemind where everyone bunches up and wipes out anything in their path without any communication.

I think RU is as far as I can go, there's already a flood of braindead players on EU.

>>186432917
For Air RB, it can be quite fun at times. Tons of "For le Motherland" shitters that might want to teamkill you and are easy kills, but they also have a bunch of crazy good players. If you play at the right times, you can get some great fights. Just expect to fly against Russian planes a lot.

Did you ever check someone's statcard and saw not a single non-Russian vehicle? Those are the people I'm referring to.

>Every game at 6.7 americans is an uptier to 7.0 Germans and Russian
>Play Germans, 7.3 or 7.7 british and americans. No Russians
>J out 3 games in a row like that

Guess the games telling to CAS cheese or play Japanese planes.

I usually play on the RU server for shits and giggles and its just like this guy >>186436193 said. Most of the time you can roflstomp your way through the enemy team and sometimes you'll find one or two level 100 slavs that completely out-skill you in every possible way.

Do you do any dumb stipulations?
I sometimes foold around with SU-152 or KV2, use HE shells and try to only fire shots under enemy tanks.
Panzer 3M with just APCR is a fun one too, feels surgeon man.

>>186441195
I take the SU-152 and try and arc shots from across the map, it's mostly waiting for reload but it's all worth it when you nuke a Tiger that never saw it coming

>>186441075
I'm not even talking about friendly teams
a decent chunk of wins involve the enemy having a number advantage
most the time I win it's either with a player deficit or we just steamrolled the enemy

Had a 15 kill zero death game in the Lagg-3 a long time ago. Would post the replay here, but it's from back when replays sucked so you can't even see what the enemy planes were. Lovely planes for stress relief.

>>186444707
It has the same problems in the game that it did in real life, but most of the people you fight against are braindead. The LaGG doesn't have the P:W to compete with any Messerchmitt or similar plane in maneuvers, it just has decent speed and armament.

>>186445748
>The LaGG doesn't have the P:W to compete with any Messerchmitt or similar plane in maneuvers
Yeah, it's so shit it has to fight biplanes. Could say the same for most of the russian fighters. All the BF-109s have to fight their later counter or way above.

>>186446045
The only 109s that suffer are the ones past the G-2, the rest are at the top of their game and there are still a few that can clown on biplanes.
