[QUOTE=MendozaMan;45220618]The only thing I liked about that was the tank, the characters look about as one-dimensional as a sheet of ricepaper. That and that trailer probably spoiled the whole movie for me :v:[/QUOTE] Also, why does it have that horror movie/ inception esque soundtrack? Seemed kind of odd for a war movie. Some of the machinegun sounds sound like they're straight out of Day of Defeat...

Why is that Tiger there? I can't find a slightest difference from the current tiger, perhaps the gun looks a smidge too long but that might be just different FoV of the display that was taken at.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/K0nkXPx.jpg[/img] Rackum' up. Good plon. still suffers from a lot of the Mitchell's downsides and gaijin won't let 75mm guns do what 75mm guns should be able to do (ie blow holes in full-size pillboxes and explode ships) but still good plon. I wonder where this branch is going to go, skyraider perhaps? it seems like it'd meet the requirement "American Navy plane with retarded armaments" the PBJs set.
if they put the Pz IV Ausf. J after the Ausf. H, I'm going to cut myself

Don't even talk about the Skyraider. I've wanted that thing ever since I read into it. It's absofuckinglutely everything I want in a big chunky attacker.

Pro-loiter murderhobo
So I just just played Britain for the first time and got 11 kills on a daily double There's 5k xp towards my shiden. Almost regretting not having premium right now but then I remembered that my credit card company hates gaijin with a passion
The inclusion of the marder makes me so goddamned happy. I fucking love early German TDs

Just what we need, another on rails shooter.
Welp, not leaving Tier 1 until Gaijin pull their heads out of their asses. Tier 2 is now more like "team with more Pz 4 Ausf. F2 wins". German "skill" is too strong to have fun with anything other.
Pz 4 isn't exactly difficult to penetrate though...

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;45227680]Stop playing tonks arcade The Russian 76mm holds up SO much better in realistic.[/QUOTE] Stopped playing arcade long time before because of "nano-crosshair". Realistic has less annoying shit but still filled with cheap shit.
I've never had a problem with Pz4's in arcade or realistic in my Russian tanks. The T-34's 76mm penetrates it easily, as does the 57mm. Even the Su-122's short 122mm kills it in one shot, every time. The only time I've ever seen a Pz4 as a threat is if they're far away, and even then they can't do shit to me.
Pro tip when fighting any german non-td. shoot the sides of the gun, it doesnt matter what tank it is you will 100% of the time kill the gunner on one side and the loader on the other, if not both at the same time. Its fucking annoying when your driving a german tank to have your only defense be the most exposed part of your tank meanwhile russian tanks turrets are basically invulnerable.

The [B]Do 215B-5[/B]has the same armament, so I'm putting it here too. [t]http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Do-17/Do-17-NJG-%28P-+DH%29/images/Dornier-Do-17Z-10.NJG-prototype-%28P-+DH%29-infrared-searchlight-01.jpg[/t] [B]Bf 110G[/B] has a host of improvements over the earlier models.

Same armament as the Ta-152H and 1,000KG payload if needed. [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Dornier_Pfeil2.jpg[/t] [B]Ho 299[/B] dev blog already wrote about this. Fighter bomber with (from dev) 2 x Mk 103 cannons and a payload of 1,000KG. [t]http://warthunder.ru/upload/image/News/Ho229/ho_229_aircraft_12.jpg[/t] [B]Me 262B-1a/u1 [/B]262 trainer turned night fighter. Same armament. [t]http://www.pewteraircraft.com/LUFTWAFFE/Me262NIGHT/ME-262-FE610.jpg[/t] [B]Me 262 HGII[/B] is a swept wing version. Should be same armament. I'm sure there's other changes. [t]http://www.antaresmodels.com/IMAGES/HG%20II%20pagina%20ppal.JPG[/t] [B]Do 17[/B] I'm running out of energy so I'm lumping them together. Medium bombers with a 1,000KG payload.

The difference in the two is mostly performance/radar. I think. I'm tired.

[QUOTE=lilguy;45228806]Also... is that seriously the Me-262 HG III and Ju-287 I see on the tree?[/QUOTE] HG2, which is questionable because the one prototype got bombed to shit before it flew, iirc.

[QUOTE=O'Neil;45228863]Only the HG II.[/QUOTE] I thought I saw an extra I, whoops.
Well looks like I'll be playing germany in the near future. also I like how the tree has a fucking bombdora in the background.

also I like how the Ju-88 P-1 is going to be the everything the duck is but having [B][I]actual defensive armament [/I][/B] no duka though, this makes me a little sad.

So I've been informed that the Germans will get a Blohm & Voss flying boat only as a premium somewhere down the line: [url]http://forum.warthunder.ru/index.php?/topic/100191-bvv-dshnaia/page-51#entry3116585[/url] This makes me sad. Though, not as sad as knowing that Japan never completed the Kawanishi K-200 turbojet flying boat: [quote]Drawing on the company's E11K1 and K-60 designs, the K-200 was to use six turbojets. The suggestion that the K-200 was intended to replace other long-range heavy flying boats in Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) service and that the K-200 was also proposed as the delivery platform to carry a Japanese nuclear weapon to the United States are not supported with evidence. ... It is likely that the K-200 sported a weapon fit similar to the H8K. This would have consisted of a Type 99 20mm cannon in a tail turret and in a turret on the top of the fuselage, forward of the wings. Blisters on the forward port sides of the hull would have carried either the Type 99 or the Type 92 7.7mm machine-gun. Another cannon was located in the nose. The K-200 may have also been capable of carrying torpedoes, depth charges, or bombs.[/quote] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_K-200[/url]
