[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44827422]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[/QUOTE] You do realize that the first panzer IV's had paperthin armour with little slope, and were not meant for tank combat? [QUOTE=Puvleek;44827024]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.[/QUOTE] To be fair, it is a less balanced than world of tanks however.

Those are thrown out of the window in WT, there's bound to be problems. In a good way.
Just a heads up, but it looks like RB rewards might be broken in this patch and giving out AB rewards. I've only been playing SB tanks since 1.41 so I can't say myself, but there's a [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/25p5no/while_everyone_is_driving_tanks_with_141_gaijin/]thread on reddit going on right about it[/url].

The whole needing 6 tanks to advance a rank thing really sucks dongs when there are only like 7 tanks in each rank :(
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44827842]The whole needing 6 tanks to advance a rank thing really sucks dongs when there are only like 7 tanks in each rank :([/QUOTE] Yeah, it's a pretty terrible feature with so few tanks. At least with planes, you can get six from going down a line or two and not basically all of them.
[QUOTE=Doom14;44827917]Yeah, it's a pretty terrible feature with so few tanks. At least with planes, you can get six from going down a line or two and not basically all of them.[/QUOTE] yeah you literally need EVERY rank 2 german tank to get to rank 3 which sucks ass

I can't seem to bind a key to fire extinguishers. No matter what key I try to use it always says that no key is bound in-game, and pressing the key that I bound does nothing.
Researched all and Aced 75% of Geromy tier 1 in an 8 hour sitting. The grind is real.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44827247][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DeDgS9t.png[/IMG] SEEMS BALANCED TO ME[/QUOTE] I've actually seen some people complaining about "russian bias" recently. "Unkillable T-34s" and "they always light me on fire in 1 shot :(" seem to be favorites. They get really aggravated when you respond with "Heil!"
[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;44828048]Researched all and Aced 75% of Geromy tier 1 in an 8 hour sitting. The grind is real.[/QUOTE] Four more to ace and I will have both Germany AND Russia's Era 1s done and aced. Get on my level.
[QUOTE=sgman91;44826791]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] if you're getting put up in tier 1.5 and you're fighting T28s, that's probably why swarms of t28s one-shotting everyone everywhere
[QUOTE=Doom14;44828140]Four more to ace and I will have both Germany AND Russia's Era 1s done and aced. Get on my level.[/QUOTE] I bow to your superior sperginess.
Interestingly, they didn't wipe the stats from the closed live server testing.
[IMG]http://s1.postimg.org/ifvt9bx8v/image.jpg[/IMG] On a scale of one to waagh, how did I do? [sp]I'm safe until mixed battles. Otherwise this is making an attacking plane's job easy. Part one. Of the introduction. To the prologue.[/sp] [QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;44828217]I bow to your superior sperginess.[/QUOTE] My autism knows no bounds. I really do salute you with Germany. The Panzer II Cs are a bit fickle and a lot of the other tanks are just plain painful until you get ammo/artillery. That said, the ZiS-30 is a fucking nightmare of wobbly bad. So congrats and good luck down the road.

[QUOTE=maxumym;44823077]I put a giant flag of North Korea on my tanks.[/QUOTE] I put the Israel flag on all my German tanks

They get really aggravated when you respond with "Heil!"[/QUOTE] The Russians that you can encounter as tier 1-2 Germany are jacked up, and I'm not talking T-26s and T-28s. T-50s and T-34s are nigh unkillable even with 37mm APCR at point blank (more T-34 than T-50). As I've been told by those who played farther up the Russian tree, the Germans get the upper hand.
Anyone got the premium Jagdpanther yet? Will most likely acquire it with the gold I have left over from the steam promotion package from months ago. But are there enough higher tier tanks around to actually be able to find a battle with it yet or should I wait a few weeks before the acquisition?
You should probably wait. Some poor bastard on the Russian side had himself a premium Tier IV and every time I queued up I would see one single lonely Russian Tier IV waiting And if a Russian's waiting, then you might as well forget it as a German. A week oughta be enough though
God damn the T-50 is ridiculous :v:
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44827422]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[/QUOTE] You should try shooting at them first. In my T-28 a fucking panzer II sets me on fire and kills me. in short: Git Gud.
Ran into a guy trying to sidescrape and play WoT when I zipped around him and ammo wracked him.

Everything looks funny with eyes on it [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/8fP5dl1.jpg[/img_thumb]
So is there any reason why the German autocannons are one shotting my entire crew?
Flakpanzer ist Bestpanzer
Also, Have I told you guys how much I love my BF 109 G6 with 3 30mm cannons? If you go down the research tree and look at everything's rate of climb, only the Mig jet has a faster rate of climb on paper. Just took out 5 B17's and B24's. Feels gooooooood denying an easy win for the enemy team with just a quick burst of my Ion-Cannon-With-Wings I think it's replacing my FW190 D-13 for favorite plane. Besides, it's one of the few German fighters that get Machine Guns that aren't weak as piss 7.9mm
It feels good to go gunship mode on other bombers, saw a B-24 before myself in my B-17 Early, screw the target zone I want to get myself that bomber so I went on chasing it and was able to kill it with only damage to one engine.
