The amount of lead the Wilberwind can put out has my pants taut already. I can't wait to pester the fuck out of tanks with it.
Anything on the Russian AAA side?
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;44963785]So I am using the STUG 3, and I am trying to figure out what shells I am suppose to be using to actually hit shit.[/QUOTE]
Your job as a Sturmgeschutz A is to charge the fuck out of the enemy with your blistering speed, hit the breaks to spin around behind them, and blow their shit to pieces with HEAT shells. Turret? Who the fuck needs a turret with that agility? You need to pull some tokyo drift handbreak turns at the speed of light. You are a race tank with excellent front armour for the most part, your weak points are tiny, hide them with sheer speed. Speed is the greatest armour of all. At point blank hitting SOMEWHERE at the centre of most low tier tanks, especially at the side, is an instant kill.
As the second STUG just use the APHE and being a boring snipey loser. It's a worse PZIV F2 at the rank, honestly.
These combined battles were so poorly thought out it's AMAZING.

Do tanks even fucking render if you're further than 1km away?????
I can't help but keep thinking that RB would be better if each side had a set composition or something. By that, I mean that there would be a set number of Panthers/Tigers/T-34-85s/IS-1/KV-85s per match. I personally think that if most people were playing late PZ IVs and late T-34/76s or 57s the game would be more interesting.
I think it would definitely make playing as the later tier 3 tanks more interesting, as well as playing against them.
yaaaay

oh god it's so good
frontally one-shotted [I]three[/I] KV-1 ZiS-5 in a row
Tried my hand at the mixed gamemode and instantly remembered why I stopped playing the planes side of Warthunder many months ago.
Got behind an enemy plane, only to have a teammate shoot at my wing and then proceed to ram me out the sky to my death. Yeah, I think I'll stick with tanks
[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;44964381]yaaaay

I stick with HE. AC/AP/APHE/APBCHE/ABCDEFG can all bounce and leave someone untouched. That's very bad with a big reload.
HE on the other hand usually breaks a ton of important shit if it doesn't kill outright.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44963567]Artillery is 100% luck based, I had called it numerous times onto PzIVs with literally dead engine, the shells exploded EVERYWHERE AROUND but did no damage to it.[/QUOTE]
I use it to get people to move or as a last ditch. I pretty much never expect it to kill anyone.
Only reason you should use Anti-Concrete rounds on the KV-2 is if you literally cannot live without tracers to help you land shots.
Getting both "Parts" and "FPE" on a late-tier vehicle, in one match due to a good double, has to be the best feeling.
On the other hand, I slap a Jagdpanzer IV L/70 in the driver's slit twice before dying. Oh and: "Target Undamaged!" and "Hit! 4RP 23 Silver"
Thanks game. Not like this KV-85 isn't already shit.

I don't get the point of machine guns, there's no infantry and I doubt tank machine guns can aim high enough or do enough damage to shoot down planes.

This may be a super dumb question... but how do you even play as tanks? I only see planes in my hangar. I just got this game so...

Holy FUCK. I went back to Arcade planes since I had been neglecting other nations. What the fuck possessed me to play this? Planes are all absurdly durable. Spitfires surviving 57mm AP to the face. B-17s shrugging off 75mm HE. This is terrible. I guess it was good to grind parts for or get in matches faster - the gameplay is absurdly bad.
Got around to playing this today after work.
Jesus fuck I need to get a new joystick as my rudder is all sorts of fucked up (physical vs logic positions all wrorng). This is harder than I thought. Multiplayer kicked my ass.
Help, I think I'm turning into a Wehraboo.

If you are playing arcade or rb then use mouse + keyboard. You will not stand any sort of chance against someone using mouse + keyboard if you are using a joystick. Joystick is only really good for simulator battles.

Then I guess that I'll have to play Simulator battles then
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;44963902]Strange... So how exactly would I go about figuring out how each shell works, and all that?[/QUOTE]
In this particular case it's simple. The HEAT shell overall sucks but doesn't rely on velocity to do damage. First stug has extremely low velocity cannon, so the HEAT is better than the other shells. The later Stug gets a proper gun and there's no reason to use HEAT any more.
As far as AP(C)(BC)(HE) vs APCR goes, you always want to use stuff that ISN'T APCR if you can push it through the armor, because it's going to do more damage. APCR is for situations where the normal ammo doesn't do ANYTHING to the enemy. The APCR shell is more likely to go through, but it does far far less than APHECBC would do if it went through.

Yeah! Finally got IS-4M! Let's queue up!

Congrats. I will be personally going for T-54 first, although I am not nearly there, yet. I have to get the dumb shitty ISU-122 to unlock rank 5.
600,000+ xp up the tree and you didn't spend 7900 to get one of the two coolest vehicles in the game.

Actually a lot of the machine guns on top of the turret were used to shoot at planes

Superior German Stahl is in short supply these days.
I recently ran into page that lets me sift through WoWP models, including the damage models.

There's nothing better in this world than shooting a KV's turret front right bottom corner. They come charging at your T-34 thinking "This guy's gonna cry blood", "He can't get a shot through my front armour", and then bam, one APHE shell and there's no gunner, loader, commander, both turret drives are gone, maybe the cannon too, and if you are really lucky, you ammorack them.
Gee I sure love it when russian loaders turn into octopus and control an entire t-34 by themself.
