[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46800090]Its ok dude, everyone has that one vehicle that [I]actually[/I] sucks ass, but that they somehow seem to do well in and enjoy[/QUOTE]
I wish I could do well in my Shinden
I want so very hard for it to be good and fun
but it's not. Not even the most ludicrous non-jet gun loadout can save a plane that can't turn while rolling and has wings with exactly 0 lift
I'm probably going to just switch it out for the Raiden whenever I get the willpower to finish grinding japs instead of just playing german tanks all day every day

I love the ZSU-37
[QUOTE=StrikerTruck;46800128]So I'm a noob, but holy shit I love the dogfighting. The menu and such is pretty confusing and so is upgrading things even after the tutorial. Anyone have a steam group or youtube videos for a noob like me to learn a little with?[/QUOTE]

This helps fairly well. Sorry no one helped you out sooner.
Just got a War Thunder code from a friends video card purchase but I haven't kept up with game news lately. Are they going to run another reduced price premium sale for the holidays? I remember last year premium was half off so I jumped in and bought a year for $40.
[QUOTE=BananaMed;46799186]Jesus, the German 75mm is so shit now.[/QUOTE]
Yeah and it really did show how much it matter to the Panzer IVs.
Since the patch they are pretty much crap now with poor armor ( barring the flat 80mm font plate on the Gs,Js and Hs but even then your turret is still 50mm flat at the font with both sides of the hull and turret being 30mm, making you a big target for the hungry AA that have anything 30mm or up ) while also having relativity sub-par speed and mobility compared to the shermans and T-34s.
Both of which have similar or better guns ,armor and mobility have made me given up on Germany at BR 3.7 as I have gotten more kills on M4a1/M4 shermans in a T28 then I have in Panzer IV F2s. It's not impossible to kill anything with with L/43, it can get though armor decently enough but theirs no explosive power , making it fairly tedious since you have to aim right at a component and keep firing several shot at it in which case you will be shot to hell and back, flanked or bombed by planes/artillery.

I agree, with the new combined sim battles I always find that my radio pz4 is irritatingly sup-par compared to the american tanks of the same tier, the jumbo now replacing the panther as my most hated tank to shoot at.
Also im up-to date with the M8 achievements, I wonder what the research bonus will be, as well as the ammo types. Hoping for a ride that will be severely undertiered and in a few months, rare to see.

Apparently it's an M5 Stuart at 2.0 BR with a sherman gun
its gonna be scary
[editline]27th December 2014[/editline]
oh and it has a working fiddycal
is it ~9 tasks per vehicle or 19 for both? because this 2am grind shit is not cool.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/xxPpZkb.jpg[/img]
worth the grind IMO
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46802140]oh and it has a working fiddycal[/QUOTE]
I need this in my life.
100% rp sweet baby rays yes
Looks like the American version of the AMAZINGLY FUN PzII Ausf. H
but with a more balanced gun
and a fiddycal
and 0.7 less BR
[I]I can smell the nerfing from here[/I]

What concerns me is "THIS VEHICLE CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED BY PURCHASING A SPECIAL PACK" and the fact that Gaijin said this in the original Holiday Marathon post:
[quote]Every day a short task will be added which can be completed until the end of the specials. For now, there are two ways to earn the vehicle:
-You should complete all the tasks - after that you will receive your vehicle immediately.
-After completing any listed task you will have a small chance to get one of these vehicles instantly.
[B]There will be other ways to earn these vehicles too. Stay Tuned![/B]

like seriously if I grind out all this shit and then they release it as a $5 starter pack Im gonna slap the Gaijin marketing director

What the shit? Similar gun to the Panther, a bit less Pen. 4 BR's lower. Whatever

75mm M3 "similar to the panther" are you kidding me?
Finally figured out how to eye aim with the SU-152's gun.
When you hit a tiger, the hand of Stalin itself falls from the sky and splits it in two with a karate chop.
How are the other ISU tanks?

Another fun thing that idiot russians like to do is ram their ZIS-30 into your tank, killing their entire crew and giving you a teamkill penalty

I'm now hyped.

M24 Chaffee is so damn fun, I love how it is fast, it can take a hit or two in FRB and still pack a good punch.
I really need to get a talisman for it.

Does anyone know if premium time is based on initial purchase time, every 24 hours or just actual in game time?

First one.
please let me opt out of norway :(
Cool, got my Tiger! Oh well I got killed by a direct arty shot, happens I guess.
I'll just spawn in my Jgpanzer IV, oh what's that whistling sound, oh..sure hope spawn protection covers me. NOPE.
OH well, I'll guess my only choice now is the Pnz IV G, i'll just drive out of spa- oh one hit killed by an SU-85 spawn camping.
Guess I'm done for the day.

This is pretty much how at least half of my games go whenever I play Arcade, which has been a lot recently as American tanks have completely broken the matchmaker to the point where Historical battles take too long to get into (>30 minutes on some occasion) and Simulator battles are impossible (nobody's playing Germany).

Tiger's sides are literally "tap here to explode"
[QUOTE=angelangel;46806913]Tiger's sides are literally "tap here to explode"[/QUOTE]
Well I've been forewarned already about the disappointment of the Tiger tank, however this artillery shell quite literally landed on the top front end of my chassis so unfortunately bingo bongo
oh gee x5 maybe i can get a good match
nope king tigers are fucking bullshit so of course the x5 goes to fucking waste
