Me 163 or Me 262 A1/U4 ([del]550mm[/del] 50mm Me 262) first?
[editline]ajy[/editline]
thx valdor
"red shirt or green shirt?"
"yes."
A1/U4 has a way better BR, but the fiddy throws it around and it's pretty chunky.
The 163 got slapped hard, maybe too hard. Define your masochist level? If you answered "harder" go with the 163.
i think my shiteating volkswagen passat has a better climbrate than the f-82e

Good lord man, why did you buy that thing?
I'm skipping it all together and just grinding for the F-80A.
I didn't, just a testflight. It's 2 P-51s strapped together with 50% less wing than that implies and it feels like it's hauling a 3rd P-51 as a payload.
In other news, is it normal to be thoroughly bored by War Thunder's air combat?
I'm getting REALLY tired of having my KV-2's gun get destroyed by the first shot to hit me, seemingly every engagement, which then either makes me repair for 2+ min or kills me when I try to shoot.

KV-2 is a fucking nightmare to play. Most maps you get spotted as you're trying to leave spawn, and everyone brings the hammer down because your team has already fucked off due to your immense girth being slow as shit.
The rare occasion you get set up right with proper cover, and without some dumbshit medium bum-rushing you without your team's help, it becomes the nightmare itself and you get to play one-click removal on everything you see.

Dont worry [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29t0szcaTaE]Il-2[/url] is truly coming back.
Figured out why some tanks lack camo.
The model stretches or otherwise fucks it up terribly. I went through all the work to make 'Complex' Finnish Winter Camo for my KV-2 before realizing it just gets stretched ten wrong ways. Fuck.

Due to that I really only try to peak corners in the KV-2, that way if you do get hit and that happens, you can at least back up to repair.
New frustration: getting one shot by Jagdpanzer L/70 literally every time. No joke, I've never been hit by an L/70 without dying, in any tank, from any range.
At 1500m it has the pen to go through the front of any Russian tank.
L/70 is beastly and the jagdpanzer armed with it is probably still my favorite rank 3 German vehicle. It's kinda like disembodied Panther turret on tracks of it's own.

Well, it's objectively OP against the tanks it goes against. So I assume it would be fun to play.
Great armor, good speed, and an incredible gun, it has no downside.
is there an all encompassing term for the kind of humans in public match video games that say "?" when they intercept chat blurbs about things that aren't directed nor relevant to them?

I would say the downside is that the sides are completely paper (paperier than on Panther and Soviet counterparts) so even at quite unfavorable angles, an APHECBC shell will go right through and wreak havoc. Generally, any shell that manages to penetrate fucks it up big time with how cramped it is.
Furthermore, it is extremely prone to fires, for some reason, even from frontal shots.

Fuck these broken damage models forever.
Also... tank is "combat-ineffective"? That's a new one for me.
[editline]a[/editline]
I suppose it's still better than the usual "Hit" against Jagdpanthers, though[/QUOTE]
"Combat Ineffective" means that the tank has both (Gun Breach or Gun) AND (Transmission or Engine) destroyed at once I think. That's what their blog [URL="http://warthunder.com/en/news/384-Developers-Diaries-Ground-Forces-Damage-Model-Part-1-en&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=E-mail&utm_campaign=December2013"]said[/URL] a while back.
Every time I let my frustration build up and I irrationally decide my Japanese planes are utterly unfun, it always decides to surprise me in a pleasant way
Took my fully maxed Ki-102 out for a spin with two other buddies that rolled Ki-102 in realistic and got matched up with a bunch of other Ki-102s
I managed to pick up one quick B-25J kill via 57mm, then I turnfought a P-63, picked up an assist, turn fought another one and picked up a kill - I proceeded to land. Then, the final B-25J decided to pussy out into his enemy boat fleet with a lone B7 giving chase, I decided to man up, swoop down, fire a single 57mm round and pick up the game ending kill
All while taking little to no damage - never had this much fun rolling my Ki-102 before because I remember before the DM was updated, it lit up like a goddamn match soaked in kerosene and rocket fuel
ah yes, the good ol "ricochet round off of enemy's gun 90 degrees down into driver hatch" trickshot.
I love hearing people complain about being destroyed by german td's when they bounce off them.
Ive probably died more to a t-34 penning my jagpanzer front on while I ding my 150mm of pen off his turret/front plate than ive actually gotten kills

Normal Jagdpanzer is shit, if this was in the L/70 version you are doing it wrong.

There's nothing wrong with the L/48 version.
[editline]26th May 2014[/editline]
It's that L/70 is just outright unfair (although admittedly probably pretty much almost balanced against SU-85M)
Not sure if this has been posted before but its quite interesting if you don't exactly know how the ammotypes work

Not exactly correct about APC. What helps APC (HE) shells to normalise against sloped armor is the particular nose shape - "blunt nose", the ballistic cap is there to keep good aerodynamical properties of the shell while in flight.
Ex: "Blunt-nose" BR-471B shell without the cap.

and "Sharp-nose" BR-471

fucking hell that map with the beach on one point mode is so poorly designed
first person to the point keeps it because the other time has to crest a fucking death hill
in fact I just described every one point map
they need to remove these from the game
anyone have any tips on how not to be shit in the pz3 ausf L vs a sea of KV-1s?

You are wrong. Blunt nosed shells are not APC, although they do PERFORM similarly, it's not the same technology.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7W3AaCf.jpg[/IMG]
On this picture is a typical AP - AP[B]C[/B] (just "[B]cap[/B]") - AP[B]C[/B][I]BC[/I] (both "[B]cap[/B]" and "[I]ballistic cap[/I]") progression, and the penetrator itself is tapered.
It makes no sense to give a blunt shell a normalization cap because the shell shape itself helps it normalize, so the "blunt" shells shouldn't be called APC, they can be APBC ie get the aerodynamic cap.
I still don't know if tapered shell with ballistic cap or blunt shell performed better, tho.
[editline]26th May 2014[/editline]
Both shells you posted are strictly speaking "just" AP.

Imho Ass River 1 point is [I]okay[/I] but that's only because Ass River is the best map in the game. One point maps are generally worse than their multipoint variants, that's true.
Oh my, isn't the KV-1 OP. Managed to destroy 16 tanks (two of them being AI), while holding a cap point for the whole game. All they could do was detrack me, save for a Pz.III which managed to penetrate the hull and knocked out my driver.
I could even smell their tears when they attacked me from three different directions, less than 200m away from my position, and I calmly started engaging them while shrugging off shots as if they were goddamned BB balls.
That infographic was actually [I]really[/I] intresting. No idea UK made so many cool ways to kill people

I honestly much prefer domination to ground strike
Because at least the match isn't over in 2 minutes because of infinite bombers and you get some hilariously huge furballs
