I had great time playing shermans and finally got my Walker bulldog (now reserching Super Pershing). He's 6.3 but I often get 7.3 rating and I can do very little even when I got enemies from the back or side it takes 2-4 shots unless i got ammorack and it explodes. I have big turret which is big target. Many times I was just one shotted before doing anything. I would like tips because I am lost how to play him.

>>186732436
As long as you're a decent tailgunner then you should be able to kill a fighter or two before getting shot down. Just expect other players to talk shit because you're not a loser in a fighter like they are and participating in the "meta".

You can waste 109G6s and K4s easy.

Yeah, the Soviets needed an alternate AA gun to break up the spam of low RoF 37mms, and I guess Gaijin didn't want to do the ZSU-37-2 Yensei, so they went with this.

I don't follow Youtube persons at all. They're mostly worthless as sources of information. I got one guy on the inside who has a Russian contact about equally as well planted, but even those two can't really confirm stuff outright anymore. Gaijin has gotten /way/ better about suppressing leaks compared to a few years ago where all you had to do was keep the dev version of the game updated and manually crawl the main website.

>>186735230
Funnily enough one of the best ways to "confirm" stuff would be to track their Coub channel as they tend to upload the videos anywhere from 72 to 24 hours too early there...

To be fair, 45mm is barely cutting it. KVPTs will get wrecked by spaced plates like on the side of a Centurion. It'll struggle even with Panthers.

That said, any poor sod in a Hellcat/RU-251/whatever else that's lightly armored is going to get evaporated.

All depends really. I'm no Mike10d because I'm not that desperate for information, but I've been doing this since planes beta. Only sources really left are Coub leaks, Miketendy, and whatever you can find with the CDK on the dev server if it ever updates more than like 100mb for no reason. Anything else is rumored trash, including what I posted prior.

I can kind of outright guarantee the BMP-1 though. It's track textures showed up at the same time as the Waffentrager's (gg gaijin) and then this popped up a bit later.

any way to turn off the kill cam after death?

No I'm free, that vehicle was the only reason I thought to reinstall, but I was away from Grind Thunder for so long it wasn't that pressing, plus I uninstalled so I was too lazy to go through that process again.

Now at a moment of weakness I thought about reinstalling and going through the monotonous frustrating grind like I did last year for a single vehicle, and thankfully I was too late.

Would be nice if gaijin would just give us a full armored cars line like I wanted but noo, it has to be through these grindy grinding games, fuck that.

What I was trying to say is that the LSK shouldn't be referred to as NVA, not just because its also used by some asian fucks, but also because you wouldn't say Army when referring to an F-86 or a Hunter because the Air Forces are a separate from the Army and from the Navy, who have their own branch of aviation. Its just an improper way to address the plane and the Air Force.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

How much is actually modeled in War Thunder, and to what extent, though? A lot of the posts on the subject tend to be from a range of different patches. Closing radiator cowling to reduce drag? Mixture changes anything?

>>186759269
Closing/opening the radiator, fuel mixture, prop pitch, supercharger gears, etc all do something. Why would they be changeable if they did nothing?

>>186759269
I don't think it's modelled in every plane(but a good portion of them), they are adding them regularly to older planes.

Want to take care of USA/UK CAS spam. Here is your load out.

>T-34-85 (D5-T) 5.3
>IS-1 or PT-76 (both are useless compared to T-34 both take PT-76 for low SP cost)
>ISU-152 (Shitty TD but just for keks with that 152mm HE)
>Su-6 or IL-10 (Su-6 has better payload and guns for anti ground)
>Yak-3p or Yak-9P (reccomend Yak-3P it's cheap and good for low alt dog fights.)

Spawn in T-34-85 (D5-T) cap or get 3 kills which is easy with low situational awareness of hell cat players. Just get to a position with yout T-34 wait M18s to throw themselves in front of you.

Then spawn in Yak-3P. American planes can't perform well in fish bowl maps where they have to turn alot and loose energy and altitude for ground pounding so you can hunt them down with your Yak. Spitniggers can't accelerate and perform good at high speeds like you so energy fight them force them to get stiffer at high speed (500-600) which your Yak will not. Germans are easy even in real life Germans had an order to not fight Yak-3s unless they outnumber it.

Things to be aware off

Never headon in your Yak-3s, even small pebble thrown by 3 year old girl can fuck your engine
Never think your armor will save you in T-34 those RNG days left in 2015
Never climb and stall in Yak since there is no name tags you'll never know who might catch you at stall speed. Don't go under 350km don't go above 600km
Don't fight jumbos front


Little tip; Most of the time you get 5 kills with this deck so you can activate 10 kill wager (RB 2x) which will work very good.

how worth it is it to grind the IL-28 in AB to get the 500Kgs for GF RB?

>>186759269
>Prop pitch
Modeled on most planes as RPM throttle, based on percentage of max RPM, but on most german planes (entire messerschmitt and tank line) it directly controls prop pitch meaning you can easily overspeed your engine, so it's best to just use auto prop pitch (see below) on those.
As for using it, basically you use higher prop pitch at low speeds, but at higher speeds it creates drag so you need to decrease it, similar to how you shift up in a car as you go faster. For example, while climbing you can set your pitch to 100%, and as you go faster decrease it to 90ish, then when you get close to your top speed you can take it as low as 80 or even 75 (it depends on the plane). An added benefit is that you get lower temperatures, so you can close your radiators without overheating and go even faster. By doing this you can get to 540 kph on the deck in a LaGG-3-66.
>Mixture
Isn't even modeled on most planes aside from having it too low or high killing your engine. Only on P-47s and AD-2s is where it matters, and there all you need to do is keep it above 75% or so when below 2-3km
>Supercharger
Needs to be switched at certain critical alts, that's it. This chart has all the critical alts for the supercharger:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hgHbWlSjefFhCqOUeGpoKQntdQDPG32X7XQo9EqDF00/edit#gid=1236982432
>Radiators
Controls how open the cowlings/flaps/etc. are for their respective cooling systems, opening it further increases cooling at the cost of drag
>Turbocharger/magneto/etc.
Don't even bother, there's ways to use them but you won't get any sort of advantage from them
>Auto prop pitch/radiators
Completely separate from auto engine control and is a part of MEC, think of it basically as the plane's onboard system controlling these rather than the game itself manually doing it. Can be enabled or disabled separately.

You can't be serious? MK 108 birds that can spam HVAP through most medium tanks to kill them, the Hs 129 B-3 that can kill any medium and most heavies with one shot, Stukas with accurate drops of 1000kg bombs, the Fw 190 F-8 that can carry a 1000kg and shoot down other CAS, the Do 217 bombers that can divebomb with 4x1000kg, and some Fw 190s have a pair of huge rockets.

>>186770591
It would if the 190 finally got all it's loadout options.

>>186770898
MK 108s don't do fuck all to player tanks unless they're hitting incredibly lightly armoured points, 129s aren't oneshotting shit and are slow enough to get shot down by tanks, Stukas are tier 1-2, a single 1000kg bomb is completely meaningless at Tier 4, the 217s are slow and easy to shoot down and the FW rocket pods are aircraft rockets, not ground attack rockets.

Seems like the Type 65 is a low-tier ZSU-57. I don't speak russian, but judging by the comments it seems like it's getting the AP belt which can pen up to 102mm from the ZSU-37.

The Sea Fury ingame is not running wartime engine boost settings. It's basically generating a whole lot less power than it should be.

Does this mean the cargo ship was in the wrong, and it's at fault? Or is it still the destroyers fault? I have no clue how shit works with ships, sorry

Well there's a big cargo ship shaped hole in the DDG, so I think its the cargo ship.

ACKCHYUALLY it might be correct. Constructing the vertical stabiliser like this would counteract torque, something a 2200 HP engine would produce quite a lot of. As the A7M2 was constructed with poorly trained pilots in mind, it would make sense to make it easier to handle on the runway.

>Republic XP-47J (a variant of the P-47 Thunderbolt) is claimed to have reached 813 km/h (505 mph) in testing

There's a laundry list of piston planes faster than that shitbox.

Erm I just got a panic attack from the high post account. I had to inhale deeply into a bag. Make a new thread for me, pronto.

>>186776583
The cargo ship takes a lot long to stop, turn or slow down than the DD. If the DD strayed into the path of the cargo ship there's nothing the ships captain can do to stop it.

>>186776607
>Experimental aircraft, not production. Given speed is a claim and not verified

>>186776709
But like the first one, did the cargo ship turn around and then hit the DDG? Or is this still the first incident?

You claimed the Sea Fury was "the fastest prop fighter of all time". Both the XP-47J and Do 335 were prop fighters.
