[QUOTE=TrafficMan;46894240]Yeah I think I'm done playing until they fix the broken as fuck plane kill streaks
Literally 50% (or more as far as I can tell) of my deaths as of late (and probably 80% in my KV-2) are from planes which doesn't make for a very fun "tank combat" game
The last straw was when I was literally 1ms away from reloading my KV-2 and was about to put an AP shell through some dumbass Tiger's face when a plane basically landed on my tank while dropping its bombs
[sp]also what are the chances that you'll randomly be put on the losing team 9 fucking times in a row??[/sp]

Planes are literally turning into the artillery from WoT and that's the reason I quit playing way back in the closed beta[/QUOTE]
Play RB. RB has very few airplanes and people usually actually bother countering them. Or play Sim - no planes whatsoever.
Doesnt help that the KV-2 is actually a huge target and is usually public enemy number one.
I played AB until the last patch, you can spawn with multiple tanks in RB, the only catch is that you need to make enough points while alive to do so.
The whole arbitrary tank-Arcade thing of only three spawns they added made it extremely unappealing.
Theirs just a certain thrill I get when a Tiger runs after jumping fully out of cover to get me.
just got the SU-152
first match, fired off 13 HE shells
11 kills
okay then
Sorry, but PsiSoldier, even the game itself agrees:

Two kills from finishing the stupid fucking German Tank Destroyer Mission.
[B]Match 1:[/B] TK'd at spawn. Attempt to revenge kill the guy, someone else does, think nothing of it. Match goes fucking abysmal. Get one kill. Third spawn spawns upside down and I say fuck it and quit.
[B]Match 2:[/B] TK'd at spawn very intentionally this time by another guy. Revenge kill the guy. [highlight]Instantly fucking kicked for attacking teammates[/highlight] - what the actual fuck?
[B]Match 3:[/B] Spawn upside down. People flip me over. Go over a tiny bump and the tank does half a fucking barrel roll like this is Starfox 64 or some shit. Manage to go one to barely get one more kill before my tank dies to other inane shit.
[I]This is what drives people to uninstall.[/I]

If you click on a team mate you shouldn't expect anything good to happen. Stop bitching. Be happy you killed the guy who killed you and don't fucking complain that you got kicked for fucking your team up even more than the other guy already did.

It's Arcade. Multiple spawns. If some dunderfuck thinks it's comedy to start teamkilling people, I have every right to peg him back and I don't care how Sassy Sally you get about that. I'm not against doing it even if it's not me they're targeting - because no one wants to deal with that. If they have a problem with it, they can, I dunno - [U]maybe not shoot teammates.[/U] I'm only (really) upset that a system kicked in that immediately kicked me, which has never happened to any of these people nor ever happened to be before. In the first match, my own team started ripping him apart before I even got the chance.
Besides, you imply the teams aren't already actively fucking themselves up. Despite it being a ballpit of mouthbreathing rejects, I usually end up leading them win or loss. So at the chance of ego-inflation, our team losing me is worse than them later losing a inbred shithead who was actively trying to fuck up the team.

You sure do have every right to, but just because you have the right to doesn't mean it is going to do anything good for your team. If you go out and kill one more enemy than that guy then that will be doing something good for your team, it will put you back on level terms with the enemy. That is the great thing about the TEAM DAMAGE punishment system, it punishes those who continue to damage team mates. Like you do. If that guy had continued to do what he had done to you, then he would have gotten punished too, you don't have to worry about it. But if you continue to take it upon yourself to deal out vigilante justice then you aren't being helpful anymore since you believe you are better at the game than every other shitter on your team, it will only become hurtful for your team for you to shoot a team mate who shot you and proceed to have yourself removed from the game for continuing to damage team mates instead of shooting enemies which you are so proficient at. (check out that run on sentence)
I'm glad that you underlined the most important part of your post though. That means that I don't have to do it for you. If you are so good at leading your team of mouthbreathers, stop shooting the worst of the bunch and getting yourself removed from the game.
e: just because something is already fucking itself up doesn't mean you should fuck it up some more, especially when fucking it up some more is just fucking yourself up which will cause you to complain to other people who may be critical of you.

maybe you shouldn't play arcade
I have come to the conclusion that I hate every single german tank equipped with a non-stubby 75mm gun
the 50mm outperforms it in literally every aspect, as does the short 88
I cant even imagine how bad it would be on the second to last Panther
[editline]10th January 2015[/editline]
Possible exception is the L/70 JP4, only because of its BR. And even that thing has an awful long reload time for how little damage it does, plus it's awful super-easily-oneshottable crew layout.
[editline]10th January 2015[/editline]
germany needs the StuH so badly it hurts
they have no fun tanks past rank 1 aaaa

not enough duct tape to fix completely intact plane tovarish ))))))
mozdok is literally the most retarded maps in the world. yes, lets have it so the north spawners get all these beautiful hills to take cover in, while the south spawns in a empty plain. good luck moving fucking anywhere because all you'll see is the tops of turrets pick you off as soon as you leave that one lone hill at the spawn.
Can Norway just stop existing? what the fuck do they expect me to do in a duck on that map?
How can I be a knacker if I ain't knockin?
You can shoot landing craft, with their 200mm of Gaijinium™ armor. Seriously, sometime around 1.45 release those things became impossible to kill.

iirc it was at ground forces release or sometime thereabout. Thing is, I think it was just a retooling of all the ai ground forces to better reflect their actual armor effectiveness.I bet shooting into the top of the landing craft, instead of the sides, will yield better results. Will test when I get off work.
I don't think it's an actual problem with their armor I think they're technically UNDER the water, at least on Norway, so most of the shots get eaten.
This only happens on Norway so far as I can tell.

also very fun to mess around in
i can't wait to get jets soon
i dont get it
I am amazed how many times I've killed people by death spiraling, pretty much just fire fucking everything after your tail gets knocked off.
I guess I never posted this in the War Thunder thread. But here's the sexiest screenshot I've taken thus far

So should I be using the 160mm HEAT on the SU-122. I imagine with the long reload plain HE'd be better.

I took all of these over a year ago back when I still main'd arcade mode.

Thanks for the new wallpapers guys.
Not sure why yours has an official-looking War Thunder watermark on it, though, Talon.
