Can anyone tell me which part of this lineup is throwing me into games with tanks 2 battle tiers higher than me? I thought the spread was only 1 in either direction, but my <=3.7 BR lineup is going against 5.7 tanks.[/QUOTE]
If you are going Arcade it's the SU-122, it got up to 4.7 in arcade, is still 3.7 in RB.
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;46870237]I put one where the lower plate meets the.. hood? and it pierced and oneshotted it[/QUOTE]
I usually 1-shot tigers too but for some reason that one tanked 4 hits

Planes.
I like how the japs have no tanks
the developers just [I]know[/I] that they suck at building them

the Jap tree (prolly coming last because of this) is gonna be either a bunch of variants of the same few tanks, or just really small. I doubt they'd throw lend-lease into the regular tree, but they might make a special case.

Jap tanks of WW2 were terrible
[editline]7th January 2015[/editline]
under gunned, under armoured, poor cross country capability
virtually inferior to all other factions

Interesting bit of trivia coutesy of Wikipedia:
[quote]
..."Chi" meant a medium tank, "Te" a tankette; "Ke" an assault gun, "Ho" a self-propelled gun, "Ka" an amphibious tank.

Funny, the rest of the page on [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanks_in_the_Japanese_Army"]Japanese tanks of WWII[/URL] reads like it was written by some basement-dwelling weeaboo, using words like "Westerner". My inner grammar Nazi wants to go through and correct it, but I'm maybe just a bit [I]too[/I] lazy for that.
I want naval warfare.
I want to shoot massive guns.
Too bad it'll probably be a year or two till then.

Depends what you're looking for.
All nations are pretty forgiving early on, by the way. So by the time you have a feel for things, you should be able to unlock more nations. If you want easy-modeo stuff for the easiest/fastest gamemode (Arcade), definitely just go Russian. If you want to challenge yourself, go Japan.

Boy, nation/plane specific kills are my favorites. I'm having [I]so[/I] much fun trying to find American tanks that don't get stolen first.

They'll do fine as a tack on tree to Germany like Italy is for the planes.
[QUOTE=O'Neil;46871975]They'll do find as a tack on tree to Germany like Italy is for the planes.[/QUOTE]
How exactly would that even be implemented?
Weren't there also talks among the devs of splitting Germany and Italy into separate nations to, among other things, balance out the Axis/Allies count?
*Rant Condensement
American stock 75 ammo is literally Satan's kidney stones and I'm pretty sure is less fucking dangerous than shooting the enemy with pillows.
Has anyone been experiencing massive FPS drops at random? I haven't been able to play for a few days because the game decides it has to fuck up and take all the resources when it renders one fucking enemy tank.
From the high constant 70s, to the low 2fps when only 1 enemy is rendered. I am using highest settings right now. This never happened to me before.

Besides maybe the P40 and the Semovente 90/53 and 105/25, I don't see anybody would want to play in Italian tanks because they fared just a little better than the Japanese tanks that saw service and what hell will the Italians use for Rank 4 and 5?
Navy wise, the Italians will probably be a little bit better than the Germans and I don't know much about the aircraft deployed by the Italian AIr Force although I do know they fared better than most of the tanks they used.
Personally I wouldn't mind a French tree or a Hungarian branch in the German tree.
I have experienced the joy that is a centerline Mk 103.
now if only this was on something that wasn't a flying coffin or didn't fly like ass.
Does anyone have any advice on using the PZ3 series? I literally tried the snipping and brawling routes and all I get are crap shots. I usually aim for the loader/gunners on enemy tanks, but I haven't had any luck. The grind for 40 kills is terrible for me right now.

Only planes be:
410B3/R6
Fw 190 F-8
Hs 129B-2/B-2 Romanian
Go 229
Less I missed one? 190 F-8 actually flies alright, but the 103s are on the wing, have low ammo, and spray everywhere.

Early ones aren't that great. The J1/L/M all play the same. Use the gun to needle crew. This is your best way to win, as ammo/disable shots are rare. Start with gunner, then driver, loader, commander/radiomen. You can swap driver/gunner as needed, but it's important they can't get away nor shoot back. Also you might as well bring some APCR because 50mm APC doesn't cause -that- much spalling and if you're a crack-shot, who cares? Even with a stock crew, I believe you reload quite faster than crews come back - so you can go back to slapping the gunner around if needed.

Naval warfare is gonna bring a problem, though: radar-controlled guns. Americans and british ships had superior firing computers. Japanese "honorably superior" navy had none, dunno if the Germans ever fielded something similar.
Man, can't wait to see a Yamato get sunk by an Iowa and see people raging that is not "historically accurate".
I notice not many people fly the Mosquito... have I made a terrible mistake?

thats not really a problem, they just wont implement them
this game isnt 100% about historical accuracy, there are an absolute shitload of things that gave particular nations advantages that aren't modeled in game

As a fellow "Wow I can't wait to fly the mosquito, I can't wait to go super fast!" Mozzie lover, the plane in WT is a slow piece of shit. Not worth it/10.
Mossie use to be ace-tier shit kicker and then it got nerfed and forgotten.

I like the Romanian duck more than I expected, it's still a coffin but it's a coffin lined with gold.
