Thank you Gaijin for keeping Karelia in the map rotation for RB/SB and reminding me just how fucking [I]garbage[/I] that map is.
[editline]6th June 2016[/editline]
I want to like ground forces but it's such a hit or miss game. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's absolutely miserable. Like the whole retarded "you can't repair your tank or put out a fire until you research it" thing that Gaijin thinks is an amazing idea. I know I'm whining about things that have been a problem since the very beginning, but the fact that I was there since the very beginning, and seeing how little the game has changed is both frustrating and saddening.
All this is doing is just reminding me why I stopped playing.

The Tu-4 would have to have a shittier bomb load or something because it has a massive advantage over the B29

No, it should not. B-29 had worse guns and you'll have to deal with it.

tbh I actually prefer the .50cals as defensive guns
the noodlyman cannons have pretty shitty muzzle velocity and do shit all for damage

Plenty of people having to catch up to low-orbit IL-28s would like a word with you.
It'll be weird if they make the Tu-4 6.3 like the B-29. I don't think it was even considerably slower, but putting it at 6.7 would be suicidal. The entire game really needs to stretch out that 8.0 to a 9.0 already.
Didn't some B-29's have a 20mm tail gun or something? Should've included that in the remodel.

I'd love using HESH so much more if it weren't so unpredictable

Hit flat 50mm plate: practically jack-shit happens
Hit tracks: unintentionally cause a fuckin' fire

You haven't nearly burst a blood vessel until you've tried to play the SU/ISU-152 semi-seriously only to hit a King Tiger on the side and have none of your fragment memebeams find anything, causing a massive explosion to do effectively no damage. Or when you hit the side of their turret, and said beams find the ammo and turn it black, but nothing happens.
Game could really use an overhaul to HE mechanics. HESH is far more complicated, for awhile I thought they just ran it as HE with absurdly penetrative fragments.
something got changed the last patch. Cannon fire is considerably less effective now at taking out armored targets, The Mk103 now needs several hits to kill things it used to one hit, and things which could barely scrape in the ground attack role. Like Hispanos and ShVAK are now utterly worthless.
Even .50s got the stick.
I can see I'm continuing to have to wage a secret war with Gaijin's balance department as a ground attack pilot.
Panther 2 really soon, like I just need the lions and that shits mine.
Am I in for glorious hitler bus or another "armor made from exploding fuel tanks" experience?

Until the Leopard was added, it was the best.
You're still as large as a barn with a bad turret and gun that is going to have a stupid (ie let me find videos of it literally not working on armor it should) time trying to fight anything frontally. And yet, it's fast, the reverse speed is no longer ass, it somehow has gun depression (because they had to turn the breech/springs upside down iirc), and plays like an actual medium. Albeit a massive one, but a medium none-the-less.
You're gonna shit all over T-44-85s, but T-54s are gonna shit all over you unless you catch them by surprise. If you wind up face-to-face with a heavy, you've messed up. If it's still at 6.7BR (which it is I think but at Era V, so it can't see pure Era III line-ups at 5.7), only in a shitty maximum uprank of 7.7 with IS-3s/IS-4s and other nonsense should you play extra cautious. If you get into a 5.7-ish, you can play it like a Tiger II on crack.
This tank is everything ive ever dreamed of for germany.
First game in and im already harvesting british tears from some dude in a centurion mad that I penned his roof plate because "thats a critical angle it should never pen that no matter how big of a shell I did a major in physics and clearly know what im talking about"
also I CAN REVERSE OH MY GOD
Smollest Birb says patch tomorrow.
If by some miracle it isn't, you can almost for sure expect it next Tuesday.
For those of you who run a dev server, get it updated for a transfer. For those that don't, the launcher how hosts a "preload" feature that I'd recommend.

Countdown to Wyvern
Launched WT, installer did some shit, got into hangar, no new vehicles. Did I miss something where the update got delayed, or? :((
[editline]a[/editline]
Shit son, didn't notice this
[quote]The 105 mm T13 (APCBC-HE) projectile has been added for the T29 heavy tank as well as for the T28 and T95 SPGs.[/quote]
T95 may actually be bearable now. Maybe. Probably not.
Holy shit, the new planned RP values for planes are crazy, and [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/1I1bWiNZOui5sc4nRzAZT4NewPVsTyW2LF6z8UmrhD64/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true&widget=true&headers=false] in a good way[/url]
Some of of the tier 5 jets have gotten a -(100k+) RP needed.
For example Me 262 C-1a 320k -> [b]200k[/b]
This makes it sorta obtainable now!
Love it.
sheeeeit, there's some little icons on the tech tree to make it possible to tell what vehicles you've got a talisman on at a glance. also condensed jetssssss, wew.

Soooo, Wyvern confirmed best CARB plane??
-It can drop its 3 1000lb bombs individually, basically 3 guaranteed ground kills unless you're a baddie like me that doesn't pull up soon enough occasionally :v:
-It's REALLY comfy to accurately dive-bomb with
-It can flies pretty nicely even with a wing-tip missing (oops, I'm too used to the P-47 being a flying tank)
[t]http://i.imgur.com/gISbS9m.png[/t]
Don't forget the shit-ton of rockets it can carry too.
Made sure to preload the patch (which was apparently 12gb) at a house that had cable internet. I come home to my 140kbps DSL, start the launcher and uh oh.. I have to download 3.5 more gbs for 7 hours. :suicide:
Also found this on the forums:

N1K1-ja apparently has a 1.3 br in sim battle. Be sure to abuse this and make funny videos before gaijin fixes it.
Shit, dive-bombing with the 2nd bomb on the Wyvern can get a bit hairy 'cause it leaves you with massively uneven wing loading while trying to pull up :v:
Those Tu-4's are certainly racking up kills. Surprised to see so many of them.

Thank fuck.
I love how the Wyvern sounds, think it may be my favourite plane now. Even at 0% it just sounds so fuckin' good.
