[QUOTE=maxumym;44824882]I was looking at this webpage:[url]http://tankarchives.blogspot.ru/2013/04/british-guns-vs-german-tanks.html[/url][/QUOTE]
Problem with that was it wasn't just penetrating a single plate, it was penetrating 25mm + 25mm with poor quality shells. The 2 pounder can penetrate ~60-70mm at 500m. ~100+ at 500m with APCNR. Considering when tanks like the Matilda II were used, nothing the germans had, short of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, was effective at stopping them.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44825632]
well see that was the issue but the forums were still somehow full of wehraboos bitching that Germans tanks weren't OP enough so the issue was more or less ignored in the CBT[/QUOTE]
Wehraboos are a constant in any military game. For those who don't do any research, the tiger and panther are nigh-unkillable tanks with no problems.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44825621]the vast majority of soviet tonks are so vastly inferior to their german counterparts that they arent even remotely fun to play (especially in RB)[/QUOTE]
At least in the CB I found Russian tanks to be just fine.
[QUOTE=Fausty;44825521]Anyone know why my userskin won't update? I've made the template, edited it, selected it, and refreshed it. No difference on the tank.[/QUOTE]
Did you save it? As in as the original file name and type, not as an additional skin?
[QUOTE=TheTalon;44825754]Did you save it? As in as the original file name and type, not as an additional skin?[/QUOTE]
Aye.
Of all the frustration this game brings, NOTHING annoys me more than having a teammate run into you when you are trying to scoot into cover. I have to fucking waste time to try and get my momentum back all the while an enemy shell has killed my track anyway so what fucking difference does it make.
Especially the asshole who then prevents you from moving to use you as human cover. Fuck those people.
I've only played era 1 so far in OBT as Russians, but in my experience in the CBT it went like this.
Era 1: Russia >= Germany: Slight advantage to Russia because of the reliable 45mm cannon but the broken T-50 can really screw up balance.
Era 2: Russia == Germany: Best balanced era. Russian and German tanks are very different with fair strengths and weaknesses.
Era 3: Russia << Germany: Panther absolutely dominates this Era. Russians aren't helpless, but they need to outplay Germans to win.
Era 4: Russia <= Germany: Ignoring the horrifically broken Jagdpanther, this era is pretty well balanced. IS-2s and KTs more or less cancel each other out. Slight advantage to the Panther vs the T-44 and Ferdinand vs USSR equivalents.
I never got to play Era 5 even though I unlocked the T-54, so I can't really say anything about it.
[QUOTE=Fausty;44825773]Aye.[/QUOTE]
Weird. I've only skinned my Pz IV F and was able to mess with the template, save it, tab back into War Thunder and hit the refresh icon and see the changes right then and there. Tab back out, edit it some more, save again, refresh again

Maybe it's just the Sherman that's fucked?

Possibly, it is a premium, and my D-13 has always been a little weird in the skins department
What's the godamn change ammo button on tank thunder?

[QUOTE=maxumym;44826033]1/2/3?[/QUOTE]
So intresting note, it wasn't bound. and for whatever reason its in fucking misc and not tank controls.

Bind it in options.

Era 5: USSR > Germany from what I was reading, those IS-3s and IS-4s wreck shit and will even more since BVV_d said that they will get after-war BR-471D 122mm AP round.
I am now the proud owner of a F-86-30 Nippon Sabre. Great.
Holy crap the traverse on the first pz III sucks balls. Which dumbass thought it was a good idea to make it mandatory to grind every line in order to progress.

That's why I ended up with premium and premium tank in order to make it easier and it's still a pain to do. They should have decreased the amount needed for the tanks since there are less of them compared to the planes.
safe to say i'm rather enjoying the tanks, only on the first tier but having to much fun in the stug, also ended up camping one of the spawns on karelia so I should probably feel bad
I've lost 9 of my last 10 games as tier 1 Germany. I'm not sure if it's the tanks or the fact that all the morons play Germany.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;44825631]It's funny because this was an issue for the last month on the dev server and they didn't touch it. It's funnier because the bailing-out-to-deny-kill thing has been in since day 1 of the CBT and it isn't fixed.[/QUOTE]
As is the omnipotent minimap. I mean, jesus christ, you can play the entire game from the minimap.

Soviet bastion of power is rank 2.3. If you wanna bypass that, just stick to PzII and Pz.38(t) a bit longer and grind all the way to F2 PzIV and or F Stuggy (long 75mm guns).
The rank 2.0 German tanks are really not in a good spot right now.

That's the thing... I do fine with the Ausf. F., but my teams just seem completely incompetent. I almost always get 5+ kills.
Many times I die by some T-34 just bum rushing across the map and 1 hit killing me from point blank while my teammates ignore him.
As someone who has spent over 800 hours in WoT, I naturally gave WT GF a try. After about 6 hours of playing, I am very, [B]very[/B] pleased, satisfied and impressed with it. For a long time I wasn't too keen about it, due to the fact that there are planes in land battles, but when it turned out that they are AI controlled and appear only in few battles was a huge relief for me.
It just feels unbelievable how Gaijin with much less experience than Wargayming was able to create a game which is more exciting. Of course, I have seen only a minor fraction of it, though I think my opinion won't change too soon.

I can't wait to create a squads with only AAA and just hide in a tree line waiting for an unsuspecting plane to fly by and get lit up by a bunch of flak.

Russians can illegally annex Crimea overnight, but they sure as shit can't capture points when they're on my team.
Are the devs retarded?
Every russian tank I come across 1 shots me, what the fuck. The Pz-whatever IV should be better than this
Yeah, sure. I'm dumb for noticing the russian dev's making the russian tanks OP, fuck this game
[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;44827071]I imagine it'll change when combined forces comes back. IL-2's all day every day.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure why I thought they would but I was hoping they would add ground forces spawn points in regular maps, like two towns or grave robber cliffs. Depending on the placement they could work just as well as the dedicated ground forces maps and would work far more seamlessly than having new maps.
