Old thread closed, guess I'll try making a new one. I have no idea how to
Get War Thunder on PC, also available on PS4 and XBox One but why would you want to play it on them?

Dying to get that AMX-40. Need some French bias in my life.
is it me or what but for me its hard to find ground targets in an plane in tank rb
I swear its an absoulte sin that you're not able to use any sort of Eagle Squadron identification for the british.
Hans ain't got time to sit around and wait for the enemy to come to him.
Eyy, got my leopard 1. Guess the stock grind is going to be pure aids until HESH and HEAT?
them duke boys are at it again

My brand new abusive seal-clubbing lineup. 234/4 for skull-fucking Soviets if I get uptiered, Gepard for sweeping up downtiers. F1 with HEAT is an awesome all-rounder, rocking a 3.5s reload and disturbingly reliable accuracy considering that it's a short barrel that only pushes 450m/s. He 111 is the key that bumps me up to Rank III for wager purposes, and 32x50kg bombs are absolutely potent due to how weirdly agile that bomber is. Oh and an ace'd Puma as a final resort
Oh yeah I did a sight for AVRE, if anyone here wants it shoot me up.

do you the bomb salvo key for he 111?
Can you make a rocket sight for the RBT-5? Or do you know about one? I tried looking for it myself but I am big dumb
190F8's rockets seem to be more reliable, getting a kill for every 2/4 rockets I fire so far..
Next to that I've been using a 177 in ground forces sometimes, on Poland it makes for a excellent carpetbomber.
It seems to be good at distracting the enemies planes too, untill they realise my gunners are maxed out
I still need to get used to the sounds though, but I guess the new update is pretty tight.
Should you buy an AVRE? Nah.
Is there a reason to buy an AVRE? YES.

APDS is best shell it gets. HESH is too situational and pretty much replaced in use by Hull Break mechanic, and HEAT is garbage.
It feels like a slightly worse APDS round than the brits get though
Also my mega box was a test drive of the calliope for an hour..woo..
Those rockets are so useless unless you find a tier 3 brit tank to shoot at.
I can't really do a sight for it since I don't have it and thus can't really test it out or anything.
I whored over some GE when a fat fat paycheck happened to align with one of the half price GE sales.
big botes seem interesting, but the fps loves going to shit with how many fuckin tracers there are flying around from the bajillions of AA guns on each of them

Did Gaijin just hint that Hitler did nothing wrong????

Copied the link at the time but 3:32 if it doesn't work..
THAT'S A BIT OF A ROUGH JOKE LADS
Have allied (American) teams gone to shit now that the P47 doesn’t get an airspawn and .50s aren’t as good as cannons? I’m having a hell of a time being the last guy alive at the end of the match before I get one shot by a prophanging 109.
noice, it looks like gaijin fucked up with the 120mm DM23 round when adding it to the game and just copy/pasted the 105mm DM23 round

This stock leo is not as terrible as I expected, although I'm suffering a lot at shooting at long targets. The shells just seem to fly off in any old direction.
Sniper maps are horrid currently. I think I'll value adjustment of fire upgrade more than the FPE, which is not something I usually do.
keep in mind the leo has a very high zoom level compared to most tanks and it'll make the accuracy seem worse than it really is
Anyone else flying Japanese planes finding the 30's to be very underwhelming in this patch?
Also not having adjustment of fire and elevation mechanism will make long-range shots wonky.
