what do you guys think of the French planes?
Nah, but french tanks? https://i.imgur.com/INlHFkm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9fECFnG.jpg This still happens? Heh.
Teamed up with some FP bois, much better RB experience. Still had a few naff games, mostly on the last few of the night (probably just being tired). Did manage to kill a Ho Ri production whatever it's called with my MKII crusader SPAA though on the very last game. RB with teams is indeed the way to go. MORE PLS

The planes for CAS are fantastic. F4U-7 with 114 SNEBs makes for amazing rocket spam for a 6.0 plane. Vatour IIA for top tier weapon load of 78 SNEBS and a good bomb selection. Also is made of fast.

You got a link to that AVRE sight mod you were using? I too would like to harass people at over 3km away like you did last night

AVRE50mticks.7z Here you go. I actually updated it yesterday adding new ticks in 50m increments so range setting is more accurate.
Nice one, thanks dude
Do the french fighters do well at all?
Is the Firefly 1c pack worth it for $15? I"m trying to grind brit tanks but getting through tier 2 right now is pure suffering.
No idea bout the firefly but the AVRE is a fukken rude boi
The 17pdr is an amazing gun and can perform quite well in uptiers thanks to the AP buff. The Sherman itself isn't particularly great though as almost everything you face will have zero trouble punching through you (and is the case with most British medium tanks, until the Centurions in Tier 4)
I got it and had a bunch of fun with it, but I'm a big fat Sherman fanboy and the Firefly is my favourite variant, so I'm biased as fuck.
I also have a big fat boner for the firefly and I haven’t regretted the money spent on it yet. Im actually really enjoying it compared to the 7.0 Americans and Germans I’m used to playing
five fucking tunisia balls just why

Only one of those kills was the Cromwell, the first four were the Scorpion. Is 75'000 a good amount of silver? Definitely seems better than the 25k to 30k I'm making in Air RB.
it is, but keep in mind you're not seeing your expenses there - gotta open up the notifications thingy to see what profit you *really* made. that being said though at the lower tiers repairs and ammo cost so little that there won't be much difference between gross and net profit
The German Churchill and the KV-1B are still such ridiculous seal clubbing machines, very nice for wagers https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/216774/ea47378a-2568-4f6a-baf9-01a0535f876f/stomp.JPG 7 in the Churchill https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/216774/a0318a0c-7592-4e40-8593-eee69c708f10/stomp1.JPG 10 in the KV-1B
Y'know, repair rank wouldn't be a half bad thing to govern the repair cost of tanks. Like, tanks can be hella expensive to repair until you start putting points into the repair rank and it could start reducing the price.
are we going to keep already unlocked modifications when ship progress is rest 
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/155/2f9a67b6-7f20-44a6-a4b7-2ad0141b2668/MAD.webm never had this happen at such a close range before
Well I can say tonight's games were easily the most ass fucking bullshit I've ever had. Jesus christ. I'm like 30k away from the T34, should've taken an hour tops. After like 2 or 3 hours of just shit on my face games, I'm still 6k xp away So many shots not rewarding kill assists, got stuck on terrain twice. Played a night map and without moving or shooting, a plane fucking 1 hit kills me with a cannon while I'm behind a house. All of that on top of teams that just instantly fold because RB is brutal if you get insta killed. Why even bother honestly, sure you can probably spawn your SPAA but having 4-5 of your 10 team as SPAA that can't really do anything is just a fucking waste of time. God I'm annoyed.
God, would you look at all that salt.
I need help with the leopard 1 guys..I still can't seem to play it at all. The only thing I have for it is parts so I'm not sure if this is part of the problem. Just repeatedly dying at round starts. I'm trying to play cautiously or sit at the back behind teammates/sniper spots but someone always gets me. Mainly because I don't seem to be able to pen anything but the enemies gun one shot kills me or basically cripples my tank. First game tonight was playing on Poland, I went off to sit in the bushes on the right side of the map, to stop any flankers...however the only 2 tanks on that side of the map were T95s..I thought I was being cautious and in cover but a T95 managed to shoot me through a hill from 900m away and just tap the top of my turret so it spalled downwards and killed everyone. The second game was some shitty dessert that I've barely played. I saw an object 268 crossing toward a town so I fired at it, it bounced. I got behind the cover of the hill but I guess his shell had enough arc that it hit me...in the top of the turret, spalling everyone. Third game which now has made me ask for help was El Alamein but the varient of map was the single cap point at the tiny little fort. Didn't even get that far out of spawn when someone shot my turret and knocked out my gunner/gun/turret ring. By the time I repaired a maus finished me off. Perhaps on that map I was supposed to just ignore the one cap point and go off on the 75% of the map that seems like it wouldn't be used? I don't know, haven't played the map well enough. I think i've asked for tips before with this tank but no matter what I do, some cunt always seems to get me. HALP ME BROS I've managed to overcome my struggles with the brit tanks but I'm stuck on the leopard 1 now.
Just flank bro For real though use your speed to get around, sitting back is how you die in that thing since the further you are away from something the harder time your going to have hitting the right spot which is to your detriment given no one has to aim when firing at you. Once you get better shells though leo 1 becomes god tier
"YOU JUST STOLE MY KILL I HATE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVzK79undb0
I'll give it a go. It's a bit of a struggle on some maps though as I don't know the layout or likely shooting points so sometimes I think i'll be moving from cover to cover but then i'll get clipped by some asshat who knows a sneaky shooting point. Also not having a stabilizer is really fucking annoying.
Leo 1, in my opinion, is pretty bad and that's what I tried to mention to you back when you asked what you should research first (i know i recommended the leo instead of the KT105, but you're better off learning how to use the leo, in my opinion). I think it's honestly up to you wether you're going to skip past it or actually use it. There are some situations where the leo1 can shine, but these don't happen all too often. I think the best advice I can give you that helped me with my leo1 is to swap to RB if you're playing AB, as many of the tank's shortcomings are mitigated by RB mechanics (suddenly your ridiculous zoom is a big deal and you're able to spot targets much faster than they spot you, meaning you can shoot them to your heart's content before they even know where you are). In those situations, i found that playing as a sniper/being cautious is best, as you still won't survive anything that finds you and shoots you first, so you HAVE to play in such a way that you'll find your target first. Despite the tank being geared for sniper play, don't focus too much on that (you can close in if the situation demands it, no problem), just try to avoid close quarters. You don't need to go to the opposite corner of the map or anything like that. Just go to places that keep some distance between you and your enemy. Also, get used to APDS. HESH deals much more damage than APDS but it's a choice between penetrating 80% of the time and dealing damage 20% of the time (APDS) and penetrating 20% of the time and dealing damage 80% of the times you penetrate (HESH). It's basically a sidegrade that you'll bring to battle in order to remove light armoured tanks or instantly kill someone at short range that you've flanked (meaning you've access to a weaker side on their armor, thus making it possible to use HESH). I haven't unlocked HEAT yet, but i get the impression it's not much different than APDS, maybe just a middle ground between HESH and APDS. Obviously, it'll have more penetration, but i'm not sure if swapping APDS for HEAT is a good idea, as HEAT is much more expensive to use than APDS and it's ballistics are worse than APDS. That's all i can think of at the time. I'm sorry if i sounded like i was rambling, i'm not used to typing out long posts, but i had a LOT of trouble with the leo1 but i've managed to get in a situation where i'm confortable playing it, despite the tank's shortcomings. Also, as a disclaimer, i'm actually a really bad war thunder player, and the things that i've typed here are basically homebrewed tactics that i've come up with. Meaning they might be terrible tactics compared to what someone who actually knows what they're doing comes up with. So take everything i said with a grain of salt. All in all, i hope this post helps.
