Even aircraft had a negligible impact on armored warfare (note, WW2), despite everyone who would claim otherwise. The accuracy of bombs and rockets was abysmal. Both British and American guns had insufficient penetration to damage tanks (soft targets are a different story). Russian guns were a different story, but even then they had a negligable impact.

I remember watching an episode of greatest tank battles or something on discovery, and they had a CG animation of a P-51 strafing a PZIII or PZIV with .50 cals and completely destroying it. :v:

There were stories however of having tank engines being knocked out by strafing fighter planes in Normandy
I am playing again. Fuck.
At least I have the M4. That thing is great. I will be going for the E2 and eventually the T29, which seems pretty impressive at tier 7.

it still makes me cry.
Also there have been quite a few WoT ads on Youtube now.[/QUOTE]
We have WoT ads on TV here.
Average number of players online still 7,000.

You'd better hope you have enough free EXP to unlock the T29's 90mm, otherwise you'll be using the E2's gun as stock.

So my friend and I started a SU-85 bro platoon,
is it gay if the barrels are touching?
[QUOTE=WoodenSpoon;39233841]I bought the TOG last night and platooned with 2 other TOGs, oh my god that was so awesome. Just imagine 240 tons of not giving a fuck slowly rolling over everything in its path.[/QUOTE]

I know it's difficult not to generalise here, but artillery has been used for different purposes at different times in the development of warfare. again generally speaking, artillery was developed as an anti-fortification siege weapon and then anti massed infantry weapon (Napoleonic canonballs, grapeshot etc). It remained the primary purpose into Spanish Civil War & WWII. Most fixed and mobile arty had the same capability for direct fire as tank guns (more often than not they were the same guns). The difference is that artillery batteries were normally positioned well behind the lines rather than at the front so that they could provide battery fire. A barrage of HE artillery shells always preceded an infantry or armored advance, the belief being that the chaos and disruption of communications caused always outweighed the advanced warning of the advance.
Artillery of many sorts was used for direct fire in some cases, often to great effect. Rommel used the 88s (though more AA than Arty) to great effect against British Eighth army armour, by luring the tanks into fire traps of fixed gun emplacements. Equally, British 6 pounders were very effective defensively against Rommel's armour when used in choke points.
My point is, just because artillery's primary purpose was barrage didn't mean they were uneffective at direct fire. The guns had the same characteristics and they were just as accurate (if not more so), but they were much less mobile than armour.
Artillery is still used today at ranges that barrage is more appropriate than direct fire, though less distinction is drawn.
Anyway, this is a game, lets not get to wrapped up about what things are capable of. Arty in this game sucks ballz and still does after the fiddling nerfs of 8.3.
When i get a new tree,i sell it instantly to save the slot,so i can complete the whole nation
"teaser" got released together with the patch. More wubwub

I can't watch it, is it wubwubwub dancing tanks again?
Is there literally any difference between the Chinese and Russian T-34 and T-34/85?
Other than the worse gun on the Chinese T-34/85.
I like how every trailer shows teamwork and tanks moving quickly, sometimes faster than their top speed. :v:

they stage them with the help of supertesters, to make the game seem as "dynamic" as possible.
Decided to play a quick match after patching (currently I play WoT rarely because of exams).

People in chat raged and blamed arty hardcap for this, but technically I don't see what's wrong about this.

I had a tier 6 match that was literally 7-8 Hellcats per side with some other tanks thrown in.
It was hilarious, new MM can make me laugh sometimes.
Does anyone know if the sound mods have been updated for 8.3?

Got my friend to buy a T-50. I then learned that the game could be fun.
Oh well, only two good things about 8.3. A free garage slot and they didn't nerf my precious T71. Couldn't care less about those plastic tanks.
Looking forward to checking out gnomefather's latest work, also looking forward to blowing up some cheap ass chinese tanks, not going to bother going up the tree personally, unless I get really bored in the next few weeks.
So I just saw a KV-5 crush a load of ELC AMX by reversing them into a wall.
Oh, I thought they were replacing the t-50-2?
[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;39241829]Oh, I thought they were replacing the t-50-2?[/QUOTE]

Did anyone try the chinese light tanks on the test server? Is the tree worth wasting my time on?
