Even if it's top speed is mediocre at anything other than "sensually grinding on Mother Gaia", it still rips up from 0 to fuckyou fast enough to play around with anyone stupid enough to dive on you and lose speed.[/QUOTE]
That is the best description of any warthunder plane I have ever read.
So when is 1.59 coming out? I want my wyvern dammit. C:
Ugh, I have no motivation to use my Tiger II (H) to grind out the Leopard, but with these upcoming new 6.7 tanks with HEAT-FS and ATGM's, it's only just gonna make the grind even worse. Gaijin hates armor...
Should I just say fuck it and accelerate research on the Tiger I?

Get premium time if you have gold, accel research is just silly.

That's the pure prop prototype, not what we're getting, which has less power but two jet exhausts

So how much power does it actually have?

The production aircraft used: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Siddeley_Python[/url]
[quote]Maximum power output: [B]4,110 eshp[/B] (3,065 kW) at sea level at 8,000 rpm, including 1,180 lbf (535 kgf) exhaust thrust[/quote]
The prototype Wyverns used: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Eagle_%281944%29[/url]
[quote]Power output: 3,200 hp (2,387 kW) at 18 lb (124.1 kPa) of boost at 3,500 rpm[/quote]
Aka how turboprops work, if you don't know, is that it's basically a jet engine with a propeller on the front acting both as a conventional source of thrust like a regular prop plane, but also forcing air into a compressor to power a jet engine. So it's both. And it winds up with EVEN MORE output even though the propeller part is slightly less powerful on it's own when compared to roided piston engines.
Verdict: Do not fuck with is airplane it can generate thrust like a magician pulls rabbits out of a hat.

Do you have any premium vehicles? Premium vehicles + premium time = tons of RP (Depending on the vehicles of course)
i love when i get to be cheeki and use binocs to indirect fire over obstacles

I looked at the replay and it was a hellcat that got me but the kill was given to him for some reason

Im not sure why but ive been seeing that happen for the past few days alot, its not the usual UI bug where you get an assist for a kill etc but flat out other players being credited.
I shot and killed a 76 sherman with my panther yesterday and despite it telling me I had "enemy destroyed" the kill message came up saying that he had been teamkilled and I didn't actually get the kill for it, despite there being no teammates anywhere near him.
[QUOTE=psychofox67;50423366]I looked at the replay and it was a hellcat that got me but the kill was given to him for some reason[/QUOTE]
Did you get critted by him before dying? I find that if I set someone on fire then someone else finishes them shortly after, I sometimes get the kill credit.
Then again there's also the times like yesterday evening where I shot the rudder off a Spitfire with my 72K and he ploughed into the ground shortly after, yet the game just said he suicided :/

Ya but the game was pretty much over when he died
Ok all that is neat but theres already like 300 vehicles and none of this fixes the shit matchmaking and godawful grind.
Got pissed while playing British tanks so I hopped into the calliope.

Yeah.

It's not a BMP-1 or Shilka, the number of wheels doesn't match up

Is that typical with the Calliope? I've seen a few mentions of them being overpowered but i'm not sure if they are or not.

Definitely in Arcade, questionably in Realistic/Simulator.
It's just an M4A2 with 60 potentially 1HKO rockets. And in Arcade, once you spam them all, you get them back in about a minute. And the rocket rack basically never explodes unless it's hit with HEAT.

Gvozdika? The wheels dont look quite right but it is the correct number of them, and it looks like it might be rear turreted

You can also farm score by getting shot at. People think they can kill you by shooting the rocket rack which all it really does is causes it to 'break'. Doesn't actually matter if it broken or not as it does not impede you in anyway. Just leave the rocket rack exposed and hide the hull in the end since you are taking damage and not dying, you get points for it.

Looks more like a M48 or T32 styled US vehicle, the engine deck reminds me of T32.
[editline]31st May 2016[/editline]
Yeah it's a T34 or T30.
[QUOTE=Doom14;50430482]Little birb told me it's either a T30 or T34.[/QUOTE]
Looking at it, that makes way more sense and I'm nearly certian it's correct. Engine deck gives it away.

Sticking my dick in a hot pot of coffee would be preferable to what Gaijin considers a fair enough grind without premium. :v:

Yeah, my premium expired like a month ago.
It's painful. That's why I'm dedicated to just playing for fun.
My only comfort lies within the fact that I'm infuriating people from cooking off their ammo.
