War Thunder Mk.8 Ausf.Bias - Games

I just killed 8 tanks in my Panzer Werfer. [img]https://vgy.me/0XVcuA.png[/img] [img]https://vgy.me/avteev.png[/img] :alien:

as much as I'm learning to love poking holes in things with the Strv81, learning to use the ATGMs is definitely the next best thing. Taking out entrenched TDs (like jagdtigers) and watching them burn to death is intensely satisfying, along with taking out enemies from 2-2.5kms away

[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;52690409]speaking of HESH and IS-6; 105mm HESH won't work against them after the next patch :([/QUOTE] It should though? Just won't detonate ammo like it currently does which it shouldn't do in the first place.

[QUOTE=Ilwrath;52690556]It should though? Just won't detonate ammo like it currently does which it shouldn't do in the first place.[/QUOTE] 105mm HESH will have 100mm of 'penetration' at 60 degrees, IS-6 front plate is 100mm at 65 - unless you're shooting from afar or have an elevation advantage, you'll likely never get it to work against an IS-6 [editline]a[/editline] can't find the screencap of it

Wait, HESH is getting reduced pen too? Maximum slav bias.

[QUOTE=Riller;52690748]Wait, HESH is getting reduced pen too? Maximum slav bias.[/QUOTE] [quote] The slope effect against HESH rounds at 30-10 degrees angles has been updated. Penetration at these angles has been reduced. Source: Вестник бронетанковой техники — Source “Effect of 106 mm HESH rounds of the recoilless gun against monolite steel armour” [/quote] "30-10 degree" being from the horizontal, so 60-80 degrees from the vertical (which is what the armour viewer uses) the blanket HESH nerf also comes with a HESH buff that only affects the 106mm rifle (it's going back to 152mm@0 IIRC, not sure what it is at @60, maybe 120mm like the Chief/Conq is???). here's an interesting read tho: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/70aq0l/so_this_is_the_source_they_used_to_nerf_hesh_but/[/url] e: oops. mistyped a thing

Give em the ol' "all references that came before a single one show X but because this one shows Y it must be true" Im pretty sure this is just a convenient way of stopping russia from losing 9/10 games against the UK

Even if they kept the penetration or upped it back to 152mm ala the new 106mm value... ..you're still fucked since the fixed it to act more accurately to the real thing with the spall going perpendicular to the armor plate after impacting. Meaning you're going to be hitting the driver 9/10 times and nothing else after slapping those Russian UFPs.

Is it me or did the UI change? Cause it looks pretty fugly right now.

[QUOTE=Dubeard;52692858]Is it me or did the UI change? Cause it looks pretty fugly right now.[/QUOTE] They changed it, but poorly. It's upscaled and flattened Windows 10 style, but a lot of the graphical elements aren't upscaled with it so stuff like the flags in the nation-line in the hangar are blurry as hell.

The UI redesign looks like something I'd expect in an Alpha build. Boke. edit - Actually, after spending some time with it, and lowering the UI size to small, it's growing on me.

Sniping T-64s from 2.5 kilometers away on Fulda using my HOT dildoes, is the closest thing I could describe as "justice" in this game.

Test flew the P-51H and it's appropriately fast at sea level [t]https://i.imgur.com/630O9fB.jpg[/t]

[DEL]Did they change tank sight aiming? For me at least, I have to hold down right click to keep zooming in rather than it being toggled in the previous update, can't see any option to change between toggle or hold.[/DEL] Update: My settings have been reset to default for some reason, some tweaking fixed it. Also P-51H is 6.7 in Air RB and needs 120k RP, gg

It feels like RP gain for tanks has been nerfed by about 20%, im fucking furious. (Again) Edit: nope soft cap is 1700 now. Wtf. Edit 2: god this UI is buggy. I dont even own the BMP [T]https://vgy.me/HzRKJM.png[/T] Edit 3: bugggy bongaloo please stop gaijin, it spamming me with this now :| [T]https://vgy.me/FItElg.png[/T]

With the increased amount of ATGM-launching guns in tanks, I honestly feel like they need to be limited in ATGM carrying amount to the realistic amount. 9 for the M551, 5 for the MBT series, 13 for the M60A2. As it is, there's basically no reason to not just carry a full loadout of missiles. [editline]18th September 2017[/editline] I mean, the tanks had dedicated ATGM racks, and an ATGM wouldn't fit in a regular shell-rack, so there's really no reason to be able to replace your regular ammo with ATGM ammo.

Well I did it, I paid up for a talisman on my Caernarvon and a week of premium. Already unlocked the charioteer and half way into the tortoise in less than 2 hours. Edit: in arcade mostly fight upteir, still toping the team and getting 12k rp per match Seems you get less RP in RB, still think gaijin should change that. [T]https://vgy.me/u4zHPx.png[/T]

i really need to work on my tank game

So it doesn't look like the new warbonds stuff went in? Stores same as usual for me. [Grinding intensifies]

[QUOTE=paindoc;52695390]is it so necessary to be a huge twat [/QUOTE] Well several years of experience has shown that gently rubbing their nose in their own pile of shit does not produce desired results so... yes.
