[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46660566]the very last thing USA tree needs is ANOTHER SHERMAN[/QUOTE] Yeah, they need to give us the T34 Calliope! [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/T-34-rocket-launcher-France.jpg/1280px-T-34-rocket-launcher-France.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=SiberysTranq;46660659]so after my long long stint of japan I've gone back to playing US (mostly so I can play with my lowby friends) Holy hell how are these planes even real, and how do people do poorly with them. Thunderbolts and B25's are fucking invincible except to 37mm's and rockets, you can fire fiddies forever with good skills, and the hellcat is a bloody UFO plus everything gets rockets is this what being undertiered feels like[/QUOTE] It's the feeling of freedom my friend. (And better planes)
[QUOTE=Kill001;46659305]oh, also they had a Tigercat, Canadair Sabre, Mig15s, P-39s, Yak-3s, P-80, and a B17 [del]and then I had terrible terrible warthunder flashbacks with an incessant voice in the distance repeating, "[i]your left wing![/i]"[/del] I got to touch the only airworthy zero which was neat plus they had it taken apart for maintenance so I got to see the insides and engine up close which was mega cool enough derailing I'll go play some WT tanks now[/QUOTE] There's actually 4 airworthy Zeroes, but there is only 1 with its original engine. Also, did you go to both museums in Chino? The other one has some pretty cool stuff in it too.

[QUOTE=Teippiman;46661343]It's the feeling of freedom my friend. (And better planes)[/QUOTE] It's not that either country's planes are better or worse, it's just that Japan's planes are ridiculously overtiered.

Thunderbolts and B25's are fucking invincible except to 37mm's and rockets, you can fire fiddies forever with good skills, and the hellcat is a bloody UFO plus everything gets rockets is this what being undertiered feels like[/QUOTE] Exactly this. When I started playing WT, I've chosen to play with Japs. I was doing average every match, sometimes better sometimes worse, but I was most of the time in the middle of my team's score ... Was getting a bit tired of WT and decided to give last try for US planes... holy fuck... It's just so easy. As soon as I got my first Aircobra, I was constantly top 1 in my team... It wasn't even funny, It felt really cheap for me to ramp up that amount of score without much of a problem.
[QUOTE=Kill001;46659305]-snip-[/QUOTE] Did you see the flyable peashooter? The airshow they do there is fucking amazing. Nothing like the sound of 8 P-51's and 4 P-47's starting up at the same time. Or even better the 4 or 5 B-25s they had

Where they working on that B-17 they're restoring?
[QUOTE=joost1120;46662666]It's not that either country's planes are better or worse, it's just that Japan's [I]late zeroes[/I] are ridiculously overtiered.[/QUOTE] Fix'd. Most non-zero planes of japan are not really overtiered anymore and Japan has the best late era 4 lineup in the game.
I hate premium planes that have differing origin nations than the country they're in. Example, japanese 109s and russian p63/p47s. It totally fucks me up on how I know to counter those certain countries.
Honestly Cobras should've been default in the USSR tree and premiums for the Americans, as the USSR used them the most
Since they gimped their high altitude performance, Cobras aren't really all that critically different from Yaks anyway. A bit more high speed handling and energy retention with worse low speed handling and worse guns, but the core idea of rather versatile fighter stays the same.
>Cobra having worse guns Sure the 37 sucks ass but the four fifties are arguably better then most Yaks armament despite only having four of them.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;46663188]>Cobra having worse guns Sure the 37 sucks ass but the four fifties are arguably better then most Yaks armament despite only having four of them.[/QUOTE] Berezin 12.7s are absolutely lethal compared to .50. Don't get me wrong, the fiddy is great if you have four, but even the singular berezin can make a fucking mess. The cermet round tends to do pilotshots from all angles and for having burst mass of a wet fart, you can still set things on fire inexplicably easily. It's mainly tangible in Simulator. If Soviets ever did a plane with 8 Berezins ala Thunderbolt, it would be fucking murderous.
Not to mention that regardless of how many fiddies you got, the NS-37 is unconditionally one of the best guns in the game and you need nothing but that to just destroy everything.

It would be good if you could set it to semi-auto, haha.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;46663188]Sure the 37 sucks ass but the four fifties are arguably better then most Yaks armament despite only having four of them.[/QUOTE] If you're flying the one true Cobra you only have two 12.7s but that doesn't matter because the 37 only takes a bit of practice
I miss when the f80 didnt wingsnap every other game
Felt so damn good doing this, but went on to lose the game because their 2 cl13s ran away and slowly picked apart our team of f9fs. [video=youtube;KoFHYxq6YmU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoFHYxq6YmU[/video]
war thunder is ded thread is ded where is patch?
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46682376]war thunder is ded thread is ded where is patch?[/QUOTE]Where are my oil and Nazi blood covered Shermans...
ded gaem post anime pictures instead
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46682376]war thunder is ded thread is ded where is patch?[/QUOTE] Im really just waiting for the next iteration of the dev server, as I assume many people are. Hence the thread ded-ness :v: In other news, why the actual fuck is the T-26E at 2.3 BR? Like who the fuck thought this thing should be at the same BR as the god damn T-28 and shit??? [editline]10th December 2014[/editline] also hoping/waiting for a christmas special of some sort with unique vehicle/aircraft Unique tonks would be cool. Finnish KV-1 maybe?
its the limbo where the previous updates content has been played enough that the next update hype is high result is silent apparently
[QUOTE=Crumpet;46684511]its the limbo where the previous updates content has been played enough that the next update hype is high result is silent apparently[/QUOTE] It's usually not silent, but they havent put any news out in the past couple of days, so there isnt all that much to discuss :v: [editline]10th December 2014[/editline] check that, they put out two dev blogs featuring tanks [I]that everyone saw and played extensively on the dev server[/I] lmao
Did they put any new planes on the dev server too, or just burgertanks? I'm hype for the Raiden and the K-14, but they haven't said if either of those are in the next update and I haven't seen people talking about them.

I never even managed to get a game in the planes unfortunately, because they didnt give out free glod to convert XP. [editline]10th December 2014[/editline] plus everyone was busy playing burgertanks anyway so it would probably have been impossible to get a game
K-14 is basically "in the files" and ready to go, but they've said nothing about it. Comically, B-29 is ready to go model/texture wise, but they're still reluctant to up and add it for obvious reasons. Probably because they want contemporaries for other nations.
