I appreciate the detail in the post!
I will probably go back and give it another go because I'm so stubborn. Even though it may well likely make me super angry. The only place I've tried it lately is RB and that's where I've been struggling.
I have a hard time with the maps because they're quite dynamic, so it's hard to find spots that will work well repeatedly. The times I've tried to snipe, my APDS just doesn't seem to be effective at all. Perhaps if I grit my teeth and get that adjustment of fire upgrade, I can actually aim reliably but for now, I can't get shots to land where I want.
I'll keep trying, if people are willing to write long posts to give me tips, I can at least try again.
looks like gaijin is trying to decompress the top tiers a little Battle Rating changes (July 2018)
Comet going to be 5.0, I like this a lot.
Also T26E1-1 going to 6.3, now not so useless anymore! (shoddy compressed matchmaker says otherwise).
Wow, that actually looks like decent changes to BR.
THE BRUMMBAR SHALL REIGN SUPREME
Wooo -0.3 bois.
Part of me is sad about the A1A1 change, but on the other hand, it's just really fucking strong, it's just sad it's no longer an Abrams-avoidance-device, nor a good pairing with the Bagel.
thing's at the same BR as the M60A1 AOS, it really did need to go up in some way now that it's got APFSDS
Oh totally, and with 10.0 being a thing, a .7 increase isn't massive. Still just sad to see my dream of Bagel and A1A1 at same BR die.
Whew lad. Only took about 16 failed games to get enough RP for just parts on the AMX-40.
I also hate HEAT-FS with an even stronger passion now because I've had my rounds detonate on the open spaces of wooden fences.
That's why it has a 20mm
Still struggling with the Leo...I don't know any good map spots at all.
Playing on Surroundings of Volokolamsk and thinking I'm being sneaky by heading into the long stretch of wood. Someone starts capping C so I move to the edge, still in tree cover to take a look. Someone instantly pings me with a shell, knocking out my commander.
I reverse fast, moving left and right, a second shot hits me and kills me from an Obj 120.
I really don't know what else I can do to avoid not dying within the first 5 minutes. If I'm in the open, I get shot, if I try to get to a cap first, I get shot. If i try to hang back, I get shot, if I'm in cover, I get shot.
Also had a garbage game in Abandoned factory. Sat back behind cover, watching the main road to the 2 facing capture points in the middle, an E100 and ferdi sat in the open, so I figured I was safe behind cover. Pinged some shots off an IS4 because ya know..my shells dont pen anything. I move behind cover as the 2 tanks engage him. I reload, put my head out and the IS4 was waiting for me....not the 2 big fucking tanks clearly in sight, engaging him...me..
So I die and so far I'm 2/2 games where all I get to do is sit around and start at the sky as SPAA. It's so fucking dull.
Not something you want to use when you're trying to ambush.
Got the Ferdinand skin for something like one and a half euros. Looks neat.
In the middle of spading it for the extra RP on the Jagtiger.

I swear papa snail hates me. Every time I'm about to have the battle trophy stop on 1 mil, passes over it.
Opened a chest for shits and giggles and it stopped on top of the new skin for the Abrams. Immediately shifted over to a KV-1s skin that sat in between two fucking chances for the Abrams skin.
Why can't I just win something good ;_;
I just got my MiG 15. Time to unlearn literally everything I know about air combat!

Whenever my T-34s die or I can't respawn in one I spawn in the starter GAZ-AAA with 4 maxim guns and go kill open top vehicles
i get rank doesn't matter when i kill tanks that are tiers above my lineup
Ok two things, 1) add me on steam at archival1 (image is of tom cruise) and if your on when I am ill come queue with you and 2) Are you playing arcade or realistic co's arcade is garbage yo
This + actually winning the game in 1st position is the greatest.
Rank Doesn't Matter is my most frequent reward I think..
if it makes you feel any better the positions of the prizes on the carousel doesn't actually relate to how close you were to winning them
Tried looking for you but didn't see no pictures of Tom Cruise
Eh well just keep at the leo I guess, it took me a fair while to learn the nuances of high speed gameplay coming from only ever playing big slow tanks but once you get a feel for the maps and how it plays it becomes amazing.
Good example would be on poland, some of the streets are in general never used by anyone as they don't lead to a point so its very easy to just speedboost straight down one and end up behind the enemy team before they even make it past the first set of houses on their side. Granted you will probably die to someone slow to leave their spawn but its worth it for the 2-3 kills you'll get doing it.
Any of you all ever have an amazing first round with a new vehicle, only to never replicate that success ever again? In literally the first 20 seconds of spawning my Gepard SPAA for the first time, I shot down two planes. Since then, I've barely been able to get a radar-lock on anything.
TBH I more or less skipped Leo 1 because of simply how awful it is, I just couldn't get into it at all. Ru 251 on the other hand...
why do you think it's awful?
Leo 1 is the perfect example of power-creep in War Thunder. It used to be the unquestionably best vehicle in the entire game back when 8.0 was top-rank, and by now it's just entirely awful, worse than several vehicles that sit pretty solid below it's BR such as the Centurion 10.
ayyy the BR changes are live https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/853
7.7 gon be so much more comfy now
It's only positive sides are speed and sort of the gun. It has no armor and is compact enough that usually it gets killed in one hit, the gun kinda feels lackluster to me (until you get the A1A1 with APFSDS), and the speed isn't really enough either. Ru 251 does what Leo 1 does but better with slightly less penetrating gun, but ability to scout. And while 251 has even less armor, their life expectancy in my eyes is about the same. Oh and 251 can reverse as fast as it goes forwards.
