[QUOTE=kirederf7;46757475]Killing something with A PzIV seems very hard suddenly... what happened? Also I can barely win anymore with german tanks in realistic battles...[/QUOTE]
They nerfed the 75mm after-penetration explosive power in one of the recent patches.
After my earlier post, I decided to try using the controller and screwing around with various joystick axes/deadzone/multipliers/etc. I couldn't find a setup that didn't result a slight "jump" whenever I would push them in a direction. The first few millimeters of joystick movement don't register, then when it finally does it starts at .2 instead of .1. This can be solved by increasing the deadzone, but I don't like the feeling of having to move the joystick before getting a response out of it's movement. Oh well.
I'm looking forward to the persistent battles though. Have any more details been released about them? Are they supposed to be mixed battles of both planes and tanks? Or any of the mechanics of the game mode?

Adjust your linearity if you can. This makes your joystick inputs look like a J Graph, basically. You'll get super fine inputs, but they multiply the further you push your stick until at 100% input, your controls react as if your stick is at 100%. But at say 10% of your stick's movement, they'll act like it's 1%. Depending on the linearity setting.
It's easier to explain with racing wheels. Depending on the linearity setting, turning the wheel 20 degrees will turn your in-game wheel 20 degrees, or depending on if you raise/lower your setting, 5 degrees or 40 degrees. Obviously 5 degrees is a higher setting and allows finer inputs. But the further you turn your actual wheel, the less fine it gets until you're at max input, so you'll still be able to get your full range of motion
[QUOTE=LittleDogX;46757127]Not if your joystick is crappy/older and has no controls for yaw.

That's mine (which I never use). The connecting point on the base of it is a square which isn't exactly optimal form. I tried using it in IL2 1946 forever ago, but it was almost impossible to line up shots without yaw being on an axis instead of buttons. Having yaw on binary inputs results in it jumping left/right instead of having a nice/smooth slight turn. I never was able to find a way to get around it, so I haven't bothered trying it in WT yet.
I want to try setting up my controller, but I just haven't bothered trying. It's really the only thing keeping me from playing Sim battles every now and then.[/QUOTE]
I have this one also.
Sitting next to me gathering dust. :v

force feedback and indestructible. thank god its USB so I can keep using it

Best joystick ever made. Mine got ruined by a beer spill after 10 years of use so I'm looking for a new one atm
Tried playing with an old Saitek ST290 pro. Would probably be a lot easier if I actually had somewhere sensible to put the dumb thing (my current setup basically has me with my keyboard in my lap with a desk to my right for my mouse, due to me using a 32" TV for a display and there wasn't room enough on my desk), as it is it was a joke. Thing is stiffer than a pedophile at recess and a pain to use as a result.
These german tank nerfs are killing me.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46755990]For some inexplicable reason, the M2HB on the first sherman specifically does not work for me. I can use other MGs, I can choose it's firing mode, so I am aiming purely the .50, but it just doesn't fire.
I don't need it, tho, I really don't.

[sp]it's not obvious through the smoek, but the shell blew his tail off, he did a flip, and plummeted into the ground tail first[/sp][/QUOTE]
I also had this problem. When I searched the problem up, people said that you need atleast 1 shell of the default AP ammo to fire the .50cal. It works for me now.
[QUOTE=MrWhite;46757230]Ok, what's with this stupid bug where your module research points just vanish due to "no module is selected for research"? I just got out of a tank battle in which I got a solid amount of kills and held off the cap point for the majority of the game in my M4A1, and the battle results say that there isn't a module selected for research, and it just dumps 2100 RP into my free RP bin. I HAD fire prevention equipment selected as research, and 2100 would have gone quite a ways on the tank anyways. What gives? Has anyone else had this happen to them?[/QUOTE]
I've got that right now, I can't research my M4A1 because of it. EVERY FUCKIGN MATCH><
I need someone who uploads shit to youtube all the time to give me their Vegas rendering settings. Mine are always shit. They come out too dark so I add MediaFX to increase the gamma. I also do 10,000,000bps with 8,000,000 minimum. 720P since I have DXTory record in 720 from 1080. And I just get ugly artifacts. If the image sits still then it just goes to [b]SHIT[/b] until it starts moving again. Source video straight from Dxtory looks great, though

It looks really confusing because most of us are probably accustomed to games where shells simply disappear the moment they hit [I]anything.[/I]

Flying sim all the time with this. Decent amount of buttons.

The Saitek X-52 is a pretty good HOTAS.

I don't think I've been killed by a single 75mm armed German tank since the American tree came out. T-34/85s firing mini tactical nukes however...

I may be late, but are US tanks still in a closed beta? I'm not able to progress passed the first tier unless if I buy a bundle or something.

They are, you can do events or pay for the bundle. Bundle's certainly worth it though for 3 dollars, digging the M3A1 USMC.

Found this today.
Twin engines, 80.5kph max speed, M7 75mm Cannon with 30 degrees traverse and -11 to 18 vertically.
Downside? No armor and exposed crew. Either way, I kinda want it. :v:

Well that's kinda annoying. Oh well, guess I'll wait or try to do the events.
[QUOTE=Covalent;46760208]that looks like easy mode[/QUOTE]
Not in Realism battles. The turret turns at 12 degrees a second... supposedly, with even slower elevation. The reload speed sucks, and everything defeats its armor. Had one shell hit my upper glacis and bounce, but the fragments from it blew upward into the mantlet and somehow destroyed my tank, Okay. All that can be forgiven before the 75mm for the German tanks were made useless
Just managed to get lucky hits
But it is one sexy fucking looking tank, though

See if you can guess which one of these win rates is the Panther

I would really like some of the armoured cars from WWII to be added to the game, mostly because of my love for the German Puma (Which would be enough to have me start actually using German tanks)

So I'm a bit confused, do I have to buy in if I want to unlock tier 2 US tanks right now? because I really want the other us tanks too :v:
