if this thing is anything like how it was in IL 2 sturmovik it will be fucking invincible
legitimately you could hit the thing with a 500 pound bomb and all it would do is give the pilot extra room to flip you off with
man, these changes are gonna be great. modifications are getting reduced in requirements too, and while some of the new obstacles to Rank VI are a bit meh its not that big of a deal with how much stuff is being reduced.

here's an album of the rank changes and RP changes all visualized.[/URL]

im a bit salty about some of the upper tier stuff ive very nearly researched, but the reduction in SL costs helps loads regardless

Haven't been keeping up with wt as of late, have they added that monstrosity to gold / the tree? (Or is it a special event unlock)

It was a very old event unlock with the M8A1 (Scott with a Sherman's 75mm and still improperly modeled but shhhhh) and the TB-3.
They've only just recently allowed players a second shot at getting them.
I'm so thankful that I got all the Chieftains, kinda wanted to invest in getting a Striker, but need to go through Swingfire first. Does anyone know if it's worth?

TB-3 predates tanks. It was given away with the XF5F for Christmas

Dont bother. They are both useless.
TB-3 is a random timed gift, you don't know when they'll decide to give it away. Last year you had a chance of getting it. I got the hydro He instead .. :(
Tempted to get the TB-3 but I'm most likely going to go for the KV-1B if I can do all daily tasks by the end of the month.
I would love it if they could bring back some of the old hydroplanes like the OSU; or at least make them as a collectable through war bonds.
[QUOTE=shadowboy303;52916846]Dont bother. They are both useless.[/QUOTE]
They're not entirely useless, but you're objectively better off being in a Chieftain (or even Vickers MBT/Cent 10.)
Swingfire can be forced into working at 50m or less, but it's tricky. The missiles themselves are quite good. Can't talk about the Stryker as I don't have it.

Look, all these grind events blur together pretty badly for me. Even the ones where alcohol wasn't involved.
ATGM-only tanks are sort of objectively useless, they can't do anything a gun-tank at the same tier won't do better. However, they are fun and challenging and if you aren't playing exclusively to get mad top scores and carrying your team, they can be pretty rewarding to play.
i want to play and enjoy realistic battles because i enjoyed IL-2 thoroughly, but I just cannot stand the mechanic of my monitor getting turned off during turns because i don't have enough crew points
i know this can be rectified by not turning so hard, but jesus christ displaying a full screen tip recommending getting more g-force points when I CANNOT DO THAT is so obnoxious i want to alt-f4 every time it displays
Whats the best altitute drop my bomb and pull out of a dive? I've been flying a stuka as of late and i keep crashing.
[editline]23rd November 2017[/editline]
Not to mention, shouldn't I wait for fighter activity to subside till I launch my assault?

[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;52917598]Not to mention, shouldn't I wait for fighter activity to subside till I launch my assault?[/QUOTE]
You really should. The Stuka is pretty slow, and is not very good at defending itself.

speaking as someone who owns almost all the ATGM-equipped vehicles (missing the Type 60, Starship and BMP-1), no it's not.
[editline]a[/editline]
it's basically just a faster Swingfire with less ammo

The stuka has no energy retention, so after a dive you are the most vulnerable and slow.
BMP-1 (especially with 1P) is the most fun I've had in ATGM equipped vehicles, even though it's not as zippy as I'd like, but the konkurs are ridiculous and the main gun still retains it's usefulness even when the reload is slowed with the upgrade.

Same here, it's crappy on paper but I've pulled off so many bullshit moves with that thing. Awesome backup tank to have, even at 9.0 BR
Any suggestions to someone that is stuck to tier III -IV limbo? I have been playing RB for a while now but it feel like there hasn't been any progress, should I get better or wait for the rebalance patch?
Also late tier III and early IV feels really underwhelming on the Russian tanks, like they get demolished by anything really, even with proper angling and such, am I missing something?

Just wait till you get the IS-2. It gets better from there. The t-54s are all great
I finally realized how great Wyvern is as a bomber. Money will never again be a problem for me. Even a lost battle where I die pretty much instantly nets me 15k. :v:

If you got the T-34-85s, you gotta try and flank around the enemies to make the best use of the 85mm cannon, usually can 1 shot through the sides of most enemies. I absolutely love using the tier 4 one as I have a talisman on it and usually racks up some nice RP for me.
[QUOTE=enricociccio;52918915]Also late tier III and early IV feels really underwhelming on the Russian tanks, like they get demolished by anything really, even with proper angling and such, am I missing something?[/QUOTE]
Eh, you might just be getting unlucky. The T-34/85 and IS-1 are two of my favourite tanks in the entire game, the 85mm in general is an outstanding gun, though it becomes less effective on the T-44.
IS-2's are also fun when used right, if you pen a vehicle it's pretty much a guaranteed kill. At it's BR though you usually find most people take out their own heavies first so I usually take out a medium/light vehicle to begin with and finish up with the IS-2 when people are down to their dregs. Tiger II H's are a particular pain in the shitter as are the T-series US heavies, I usually don't bother wasting my ammo on them unless I can get a side shot. Just use it like a tank destroyer, in a support role, try not to get into close quarters brawls otherwise you'll find yourself mid reload as some git in a Hellcat barrels round the corner and shoots you in the ass 5 times before you can do anything.

You just gotta be aggressive and kill everything with your neutron bomb shells

I'm so fucking sick of lag turning my plane into a ground seeking missile, locking my crew out for 5+ minutes. You should really get booted from games before that happens.

I know it's my end, shitty Canadian internet combined with a very unstable wi-fi connection. Still, there should be a lower threshold where it boots you for lag. And crew locks need to fucking go anyway.
