nothing like getting a new tank
and getting disabled in one hit and then burning down
RIP Hetzer, you were fun for those first two minutes
I will continue to like this game despite its attempt at sabotage

[QUOTE=Araknid;46807739]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[/QUOTE]
My 5x for Russia dragged me (3.7 BR, KV-1 L11 and SU-122 + T-34s) up to 5.7 against Tigers, IS-1s, and KV-2s
Needless to say I didn't do much
[quote]The high penetration of the QF-17 bailed Archer crews out of trouble many times. It could successfully penetrate nearly any enemy vehicle at any distance with aimed fire. Not only that, but there is even a recorded event of an Archer firing at a Tiger, but missing their first shot. The Tiger retreated behind a building. The Archer's commander received the location of the enemy from a scout airplane, and fired directly through the building, destroying the Tiger through its side.[/quote]

Good job, Goon.
how the FUCK are people so fucking accurate at long range.
I'll be driving around and suddenly be one shot by some cunt in a jagdpanther/panther/tiger on the first shot from 1.5km away

Long guns = higher velocity = less fall off over distance
Also, higher caliber guns retain much more momentum, so they are pretty good for sniping.

Recently, I had a match in SU-122P on RB Kursk, and I had like, 4 player kills, all at 1200m+.
I don't do any shenanigans with mils or anything like that, when I know a tank is [I]far[/I], I usually start shooting at about 1200m correction, and tune it from there.
I have noticed I usually have far higher first hit probability than most people, at range. It's just something you have to get in the eye.
And yeah, as said, longer/high velocity guns help a lot.
About two months ago I went to the Museum of Polish Army and took over 100 photos of tanks, planes and other stuff, and I thought some of you may be interested in seeing them. Here are two samples; if anyone wants to see more, the download link is below.

Can someone add me to the War Thunder squad IFLAP. My in game name is DKMSaber
The chatbanning in this game is pretty retarded
I don't give a shit about talking to the team or with randoms, but banning me from being able to communicate with friends and my squad is just stupid

why the shit do germans get 265mm penetration armour for 88mm L/71s.
Even at TWO KILOMETRES it has 170mm penetration
Fatherland engineering

In fairness, Ford made a good deal of M4s. General Motors didn't.
Well I'm still having great luck in my Tiger.

Just because it was the first shot that hit you does not mean that it was the first shot

We did science.
Playing the banshee now is irritating as all hell. Its just like the f9f-2 more or less and that means its a bitch doing anything against migs and cl13s.
I don't wanna boast but I just had a CARB game where I killed 7 people tanks in SU-122P, then 2 people tanks in IS-2 mod 44 (plus a Tiger who was practically dead after my kill but another IS-2 killed him as I was reloading), then another tank kill in T-44, and then an Do-217 and one more tank in ZSU-37.
What's funny is that this netted me, with 5 times, 67000 vehicle RP. If it wasn't 5times, I would get measly 13000 RP.

Thumbs up for music selection.
Goddamn I'm bad at winning the right matches for my 5x.
On friday, it went to an arcade match where I shot down two planes and felt like I had contributed. 13k rp, I don't understand how I kept playing that crap.
Yesterday, in a match I started writing "I think we can do this" during takeoff.
It turned to "think we can do this", and before I understood it the plane stalled and crashed.
5x! 300 or so RP.
[editline]29th December 2014[/editline]
Next match, 71k :v: But I wish I had done more.
glorious animated suspension is upon us

Has anybody gotten an I-301 yet? It said there's a small chance to get the plane after completing one task. I'm curious how it's armed because it looks like it has five barrels in the preview pictures they posted.

It does.
2 x ShKAS 7.62
2 x UB 12.7
1 x PTB 23 (aka a really shitty contender to the Vya that got the designers fucking shot for being so shit)
After they realized the Taubin PTB-23 was a bust, they dicked around with the SG and VYa 23 for around five more prototypes before giving up, and just started shoving another UB in the nosecone as a stop-gap until the ShVAK showed up shortly after.

Pfffff, say hello to the Tomashevich Pegasus, a 1942 prototype attack aircraft that could have twin underslung Vya-23s. It looks like a cross between a TB-3 and Hs-129 flying Toblerone.
Whats the BR on the I-301?
Can someone sum up the differences between arcade/realism/simulator when it comes to ground forces? A friend asked and I realized I didn't really know off the top of my head.
