I play in realistic and dead crew is the most annoying way to lose a match. Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all to have a second chance for my gunner.

These are the same players who would likely want repairing anything except the tracks removed, and track repair causing the crew to actually abandon the tank and sit around whacking the things with a sledgehammer for 15 minutes.[/QUOTE]
Fuck that casual shit, I've "repaired" track. Make it take an hour.
Personally I think the mechanic should only work in capture points. Crew being replaced on a timer like ammunition. I think that'd help make capture points more essential places to be for the majority of players and moving the locations from areas with little protection to positions that would be easy to defend would make the fight for cap positions an awful lot more aggressive and encourage the team to tackle said positions en masse to dislodge the enemy.
Kind of like one of the things actual tanks were meant to do.
The average warthunder pilot was apparently a problem in WWII too:

When I get tired from dealing with American/British bias when I'm flying soviet matches (seriously, they lit up too damn easy wtf) I pick И-16 just to relax.
Literally Tommy gun of warplanes. Ammunition is in thousands and plane is fucking made out of guns so "spray and pray" is suddenly a very viable tactic.
Sometimes I can give only two short bursts and get a double kill on two passing bombers while flying on Yak-3 I have to pepper and season every fucker for like, 5 seconds of continuous gunfire.
I-16 made WoWp fun for a bit. It's a magical plane anywhere.
I-153p os the best plane in the game imo

At the very least one of the most fun.
I want to play British tanks. What should I know? What am I in for?
[editline]4th June 2016[/editline]
Also why have half of my British noob tank games end with me being teamkilled in the spawn at the very start of the match? Did I miss something?
I'm not even joking here. Literally half of my games have lasted 30 seconds because I get TK'd at the beginning of the match.
The T92 feels like such a disappointment after the M41A1. Definitely feels like it shouldn't be at 6.7.

Be prepared to forever be stuck with solid AP shells.
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457066]Be prepared to forever be stuck with solid AP shells.[/QUOTE]
Be prepared for an entire doctrine that ditched the concept of APHE because they tested it with a 37 or 40mm gun (I forget) and concluded "doesn't do that much more damage who cares."
And in essence, they weren't wrong. Most crews bailed after a major penetration or two, but writing off APHE because a tiny pap gun wasn't explodey enough for you was quite the mistake. The American copy of the 6 pounder gets APHE shells and is on the SU-57, and those are quite deadly.
Mistake in the context of a videogame where the real-world issues that plagued APHE shells don't apply~

Oh, I wouldn't have a problem with it if the game actually modeled them correctly. What seems to happen in this game is the person with solid shot has to snipe out each and every crew member, with no ability to explode ammo, while the guy with APHE just hits a couple times wherever for an easy kill.

That and half the time the AP shell just phases through the armor without a single bit of metal flying off of it. Where did all the metal go that was where the shell penetrated? Don't know, comrade! ))))
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457066]Be prepared to forever be stuck with solid AP shells.[/QUOTE]
Which is perfectly fine, because it still consistently starts fires, detonates ammo, or kills 2-3 crew members with a single hit, while you get a significantly faster reload than anyone else on 90% of tanks, and significantly better penetration than the Russians or Americans at the same tier, ignoring the QF75 which is awful. As long as you know the layout of the tank you're firing at, and they aren't obscured behind something or at some awful awkward angle, you should be able to disable most tanks in one shell and kill them on the second
Any tips on playing the Churchill Mk VII? Gun doesn't seem that great, the armors nice and flat which isn't as much as a problem when I angle but they just aim for the turret instead. The gun really does enjoy bouncing off even at 10-15 meters on the sides of turrets, or even the rear of T-34's.

Queue with the Achilles and use that if you get upranked. If you get a Br 4.7 max game, immediately jump in the Churchill, point it roughly at the enemy, and turn on cruise control, click on things that get close
If you're in a 5.0, 5.3, or 5.7 match don't bother tho

Thanks to this I have more air kills in my M4A2 than all my other AA tanks, even the kugel.
I like reminding bombers of the perils of low flying.

In other news, on dev, the US B-29's top nose turret has the quad .50s instead of the current double.
In other other news, [B]patch WHEN.[/B]
So the current B-29 is getting an upgrade too?

[QUOTE]As regards to the bombs equipped on the Tu-4 in War Thunder, [B]we have to tell you that there are no plans for an atomic bomb. The same applies to the B-29.[/B] The range of bombs includes 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 kg, with a total weight of up to 7120 kg. This information is provisional at this stage and will be clarified when the update is released.[/QUOTE]

Oh baby, I finally got the Panther II after a three hour grind for the least amount of research points.
I had also managed to shoot a friendly plane down in that time frame.

Could you imagine with the way people are flying bombers if they added nuclear bombs?
We'd see a whole new level of suicides and teamkills.
