[QUOTE=MendozaMan;44817725]Tip for anyone that is playing german tanks : stop playing german tanks and go play soviets T-34's can get in t1 matches and the only thing that can stop them is a stug a, and you need HEAT rounds. T-50's are so bugged they might as well be T-34's And then there's that T-34 prototype gift which a lot of people have, which is also a T-34 In short : [B]if you are playing in a pz2, pz3, pz4, you have no chance against half the enemy team[/B][/QUOTE] [t]http://sinus.cz/~milan/pziikills.png[/t] That was literally my first match in PzII since OBT release - the tank was as stock as they get. I declare thee to be full of shit.

The L stands for Lights Russians On Fire. With that said, the T-50 is broken as dicks. And the T-28 is just a shell eater. They will all penetrate but the damn thing will refuse to die

What are thoughts so far of each of the different tank types from the two nations? So far I'm taking a liking to the Soviet tanks but I haven't really played enough to have an idea of how each tree performs. I'm also sorta confused why the Hetzer is in a different tree than the rest of the German TDs, you can tell I really don't know this game at all haha. Otherwise, the tank battles have been really fun though. Problem is I get pretty bad teams usually.

Shermans at low tiers are really annoying holy shit
[QUOTE=Azaz3l;44818185]Shermans at low tiers are really annoying holy shit[/QUOTE] What happens is new faggots (like myself) wind up using them with low tier shit. Thus, tier is dragged down to like 1.7-2.0; thus Herman the German Sherman becomes an invincible bunker of fascist freedom. My very first Arcade match with one wound up with me getting about 14 kills without even trying, as I slowly lumbered towards their spawn. The most reliable way to kill a Sherman is to break their gun barrel and then flank. The sides have shit armor.
oh shit, time for german sherman?

It's going to be all vehicles based on the czech Pz.38, so for now it's just two versions of Pz.38 itself, but there's likely eventually going to be the Marder too and other such shenanigans. There was like a dozen designs based on the Pz.38, it's hard to tell which all they deem worth putting in.
It's a Sherman Goering, not a Herman Sherman.
so are the kingcobra's 37mms and other 30mm guns any good now now that they "updated ballistics"
Right, I may be full of shit but the point still stands that T-34's are getting matched with frigging pz2's. Then again you can use arty to somewhat ruin their day.

Just wave after wave of t-50s getting slaughtered[/QUOTE] This is why captured premium vehicles are the stupidest thing in War Thunder. You get entire German teams made up of Shermans, American teams made up of Spitfires, and so on. What are they going to do when American Shermans are put into the game? Shermans vs. Shermans on both sides? How do you tell what side they're on if you're playing Simulator Battles?
Blue names appear over friendly heads no matter which mode you play
What are the differences between arcade, realistic and simulator in ground forces?
[QUOTE=beanhead;44818679]What are the differences between arcade, realistic and simulator in ground forces?[/QUOTE] It's in the OP.
[QUOTE=beanhead;44818679]What are the differences between arcade, realistic and simulator in ground forces?[/QUOTE] Arcade: Faster tanks, faster turret rotation, a mark that shows the shell drop at range as well as whether you'll penetrate that spot of the enemy tank, and names as well as range over tanks Realistic: Realistic tank movement and turret rotation, no shell elevation/penetration marker, but names remain, range does not Sim: You're limited to Commander view on top of turret/down the sights view. No names on enemy tanks

Is it a bad idea to spend my golden eagles converting my plane rp to research tanks?
1944 tank at BR 2.7 American faction isn't even in the game and they already have their time machines.
[QUOTE=beanhead;44818860]Is it a bad idea to spend my golden eagles converting my plane rp to research tanks?[/QUOTE] Yes, it is.
Is it just more or is this really unoptimized atm?
Did anyone notice that they removed the "Efficient progress from X" from the research stat cards?
[QUOTE=SexualShark;44818913]Is it just more or is this really unoptimized atm?[/QUOTE] Disable grass. Move the grass button to completely to the left.

[QUOTE=MAC21500;44818937]Did anyone notice that they removed the "Efficient progress from X" from the research stat cards?[/QUOTE] why....WHY...ARGH THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS
Okay whenever I get tailed by someone I can literally never shake him no matter how hard I try, as long as they keep on me I'm a dead man. How can I counter this?
