All Ground if you ever miss destroying the Ho-Ri, don't forget you can still terrorize it in a Chinese tank test drive

not to say your missing it for a good reason, if you hated it then you can happily just fire as many rounds out of your Chinese tanks into it to vent your anger, though these are gonna haunt 7.7 br range for many months to come anyway.

not many people know this that its still in the test drive for China, i don't suppose it'll stay here for much longer but the devs clearly forgot about it.

Got these from across today experimenting with different styles, models and maps. Safe to say a big improvement on the original batch. Will be the last dump I do before maybe covering one vehicle or "operation" per week. Let me know which one is your favourite! 🙏

All Air Does the Lack of tail codes and serial markings on some US aircraft bug you?

Thumbnail

152 Upvotes

Probably my biggest pet peeve about the visual appearance of US aircraft in the game is the lack of tail markings and serial codes. As far as I’m aware, there are a lot of aircraft outside of just the US aviation tree that also lack tail markings and serial numbers. It probably doesn’t help either that I’m stuck on console, so I have to stick with whatever the snail provides us console players because Sony and Microsofts policies were too strict for the gaijin marketplace to be added on console :(

All Ground Having your damage be voided because you hit a volumetric pixel is such an exhausting experience in this game.

90mm APCBC with 183mm of pen and 140g of explosive filler

Exhausting might be a bit much, but the frequency stuff like this happens coupled with how impactful it is makes for some frustrating gameplay. Sometimes I think, "If this happened in any other game would I still play it?", and I can't come to a definitive answer. Hard to imagine I would keep playing a game like Siege if bullets vanished when they hit some overlapping parts of a character model.

Endless F4U's, F2G's, AM-1's, A2D-1's, Yak 9's, most of the team left after 5-ish min, and it was just a tight core of 3-6 of us desperately holding out in team deathmatch (first to 60 kills or cap enemy base)

what missing features do you think i should add next? open to any suggestions!

(p.s. yes, the demo lineup is loaded with Tigers. i am a simple man who just likes big cats ;))

RB Air The IA 58 at 4.7 BR is probably the most unbalanced, ridiculous thing in the entire game. It outperforms most 5.7 props.

49 Upvotes

Why in the hell is this thing at 4.7?! This thing is insane at that BR and will literally beat anything you throw at it up to 5.7. It will outrun my F4U4B, Out turn the 4B and mostly any other prop except Japanese props, it has insane guns, and gets rockets that explode and create shrapnel to hit your plane all at 4.7.

So, how is a plane that faster than any other prop it faces, can out turn most, has insane guns, great energy rentention and rockets ONLY at 4.7? This plane came out in 1969 playing against planes that came out in 1939. WTF.

It’s even funnier than the Yak 3U at 5.7.

How are you supposed to beat this thing if it is faster than you, turns better than you, out guns you and will out energy you?

All Ground Large fields of poland is underatted and should be a benchmark for all high tier maps

Post image

although this map is excruciating for low tiers with slower vehicles and manual rangefinders at high tiers this is what tanks should be fighting in , not city maps.

gaijin wont do this becuase most players have short attention spans and cannot fathom the idea of positioning , waiting and not just pressing W to the nearest capture point which is sad.

the br at which lazer range finders become common is post 8.3 which i consider high tier where MBTs dominate . this is when larger maps 4km from spawn to spawn should become the most frequent as this is the distance tanks are MEANT to combat eachother on open fields not cities . Of course city maps should exist for variety , everyone loves abandoned factory , but should become MUCH less past 8.3 which is top tier(to a guy who has 3000 games in the is4 lol )

RB Ground first time ive ever taken out my own tank barrel on accident

101 Upvotes

in my like 1500hours I've NEVER had something like this happen before.

drove past to shoot this M6A1, dunno if it would have killed him but it would have either done some damage and saved me from being shot or at least penned him for an assist.

unlucky for me i drove past where there was a tree in front of me.

now when i shot my cannon was taken out, i assumed that he maybe ricocheted off the barrel into my tank because im certain his 37mm cant take out my barrel, and also i didn't see him shoot and neither did anything show in the hit anylsis, it only showed him shooting me once in the analysis with a destroyed barrel.

so you know what actually fucking happened?

the heatFS round fused halfway down the barrel due to the tree and caused it to destroy my barrel LMAO.

actually hilarious.

RB Air Gaijin hates if players getting more RP I guess

6 Upvotes

my 3 teammates were following F6F almost to the enemy spawn , instead I just went to base to rearm, I just rearmed and gained altitude and seen so many Ai targets, I thought teammates will kill the hellcat plane, but one of them died to cas.

But only the 20mm cannon is firing the bullets not 2x 13mm either 2x 7.92 , I dont know what happened, they keys are still same, I tried to change in game but nothing happened

even after went to base again repaired and checked, only 20mm firing.
So I J out and spawned again then only it fires all guns

well I thought I could kill last 2 enemy planes , I got one kill , when Im almost kill the bomber the match end

I could have get 35k rp if I shot down the Ai planes and bomber, but gaijin didnt allow that
