Shameless repost from Reddit:

That horrible horrible feeling when you fire APCR/ your "fuck you I'm going to penetrate" round straight into the eyeballs of the enemy at point-blank and it does didly or worse and ricochets somehow off a flat surface.
Seriously I don't even know how tier two heavy Soviet tanks function when they aren't the kv1 original. Even with the upgraded versions of the KV series I keep getting up tiered into matches so ludicrously high every single American Tank I find just eats my shells and says "no fuck you" before firing around straight through my frontal even at a ludicrously low angle.
Oh and it would also help if the Soviets would stop with that dumb two plate frontal nonsense where one of the plates is basically flat.
The KVs have absolutely horrible guns. If you get any serious uptier, your best bet is to just spam smoke at the enemy until they go away.
Any chance of a begleitspanzer 57?

People want it, I want it, it'll be hilarious - but I highly doubt it's getting in unless Gaijin decides to get zany with some German tech.
It'd be a good counter-point to the BMP-1.
I think it's inevitable they add it into the game.
Good thing Germany has tons of light post-war vehicles that could be added to the game. Same for UK.

KV-2's aren't that bad, the only big issues are slow reload and having the profile of a mobile home. Even as a premium the ZiS-6 version aka 'Comerade Stalin's point and click adventure' is a fantastic tank with a gun that can delete just about anything at that Tier. Tanks like the KV-2 make great ambush tanks in urban levels where you can sit in relative safety in a forward position and pop anything that tries to move onto the point.
KV-1 isn't too bad either (well, KV-1E);

Negatory. The penetration is lacking but that's the only thing somewhat holding back a complete damage potential [I]monster[/I], between the okay RoF with a fucking 100g explosive filler. You do need to aim well, but the reward is absolutely there.
Meanwhile the vehicles themselves are some of the best armoured at their respective tiers, while not too sluggish either. The lowish penetration is the only thing keeping them from being outright OP.
The begleits was my overall favourite in [del]Anal[/del]Armored Warfare but since that game is dead now I'm stuck with rank 1 autocannons in WT. It would indeed be nice against the bmp-1s.

I gonna fly the everloving shit out of this. I had a lot of fun with the PBJ-1H and kept wishing it could be a little tiny bit less of a flying brick. I flew some 75mm Duck and kept wishing it could have defensive turrets and fly little bit less slow. This thing will be [I]perfect.[/I]

[QUOTE]There will be a foldering of some Tier 5 tanks (for example T-54s)
S-5 Pods for Soviet aircraft are in developement. On the Mig-17 loadout options will be 2x8 57mm rockets or 2x212mm rockets, though not guaranteed to be in 1.71.
BMD series is possible.
Glide bombs, for example the ones used by Germany, are still being evaluated but very problematic due to possible use against player controlled ground targets (especially tanks).
CAS Spam: Currently all rockets use an old damage model and will be reworked to a new one soon. As such missile damage will be similar to those of tank shells with similar HE Filler and their effectiveness will drastically decrease. This change will be implemented in a minor patch simultaneously with 1.71 or later.
Armour fatigue lacks feedback to the player, as such not likely to be implemented.
Lots of DM and shell damage changes in this patch.
Q&A answers to be posted later this week.
Automatic fire extinguishers not likely since it would take away the ability of players to fire back if set on fire.
BR review to be, as always, some time after patch.
Kpz-70 will probably be placed after the Maus.
T-64 will likely be in the medium tank line.
Post war steel armour will have better coefficients than current RHA.
Some of the late Tier 5 tanks will be transfered to tier 6. They will recieve newer ammunition if it is necessary for balance. (possibly not in 1.71)
Light soviet Missile carriers such as BRDM-2 with Malytkas are possible.
Joking about UAZ with Spg-9 as an event vehicle.
Lots of interesting things for aviation this year.
Modern APFSDS will be different from current APFSDS in post pen damage and slope modifiers. Though it will depend on the construction of the shell. [/QUOTE]
About time they do something about the damn rocket spam.

"This change will be implemented in a minor patch simultaneously with 1.71 or [B]later[/B]."
I highly doubt they will change it, gotta rake in as much $$$ as they can on great premium ground attackers such as the wyvern. Its not the DM that really needs changing just disallow aircraft until the third vehicle spawn or something, that will stop people from suiciding into them and end matches in less than 4 mins.

Are we talking about the Zis 5? It requires some aiming, but yeah I agree the shells are absolute monsters and I sometimes feel bad using the damn thing: careful aiming gets you one-shots on damn near anything you fire a round at.
I know it's the calm before the storm and all, but y'all are slow lads today.

the amount of added content is amazing, but the gameplay is stale for last 4 years ;(
Curios to see the BR of the BTR-152. Mostly because I hate it when shitty cold-war vehicles that are incapable of fighting in their own era infiltrates my 6.0-and-below WWII purism. Looking at you, ASU and PT-76.
when are we going to get rank 6 planes

Beautiful plane, finally being added. I wonder if they will add the Spiteful (which I highly doubt).
Any idea why the SB 2M105 has a higher BR than the AR2 even though the AR2 seems to be better? (Disregarding the fact that the SB has twin front MGs).

Warbonds 2.0
To summarize:
Warbonds don't expire
Tasks getting all fucky
New tasks
(my prediction) Bushes getting removed from shop
The GUI files started including references to "Warbonds 2.0" last month, and this seems to be exactly what they detailed. Can't tell what the shop rates themselves will look like as that will be in items.blk when 1.71 ships.
Seems too user friendly. I know there has to be a catch, like the new "Special Tasks" acting like wagers and thus have a fail state.
wow, /r/warthunder people are gullible as hell.
