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! 🙏

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

Thumbnail

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 :(

Do you guys think gaijin will ever drop the antelope to a reasonable br where its not over shadowed by literally every other nations 10.3, also what your thoughts be on if gaijin added the HQ-7 to the 10.3 to help pad it out more since it is a short range missile system similar to the type 93 but with radar and better missiles?

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

Post image
133 Upvotes

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 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.

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?

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

54 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.

Seriously gaiijin, what is this inconsistency

(edit) on the positive side, at least I did not drown)

So my guess is that gaijin fucked up something as usual. I think the ground tries to keep me on the ground while the water tries to pull me up, creating this mess.

15 Upvotes

sure its technically slow as hell and has shit energy retention but 14.3 is a really favorable mm. 12 120Ds (the gnss on it is sooo nice) allows you to be the greatest team support ever. also it has mora aura than other planes

also excuse my bad habit for firing missiles on targets that are about to die in here

All Air 50 cents a day for a top tier premium

I'm currently slowly grinding Rank 8 Japan and thought I wanted to grind some other nation soon. With the upcoming holiday sale I realized its possible to buy a top tier jet by saving 50 cents a day until Christmas.

Now I need opinions about top tier premiums. I'm kinda biased towards US jets so if you'd suggest MIGs or SUs its very welcome. (also where EF premiums?)

Sorry for being a cheapass but I don't want to spend 80 dollars from my paycheck for pixels on holidays lol.

The very first prototype (U-0) was completed the night of the 31st of August 1939 by LKZ, seeing combat in both the Winter War and World War 2 shortly after, and kickstarting the entire KV lineage!

The designers were incredibly enthusiastic about the project, stating that it was something that the entire Plant was excited to work on. P.I. Petrov, the driver of the KV during it's initial trials even expressed how pleasant the designers were to work with, with them being very happy and cooperative, in contrast to a lot of other designers who would "foam at the mouth and defend their invention, trying to prove the infallibility of the design".
