I've had zero luck with ground forces since the BR change. 18 games in two days where I just get shit on no matter what I try.
I'm going to post it here so this guy can get some feedback that isn't just me.
[QUOTE=The fox][url]http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/20170221001140[/url] 2:40, looks like a 135mm pen, ammo explodes even those I carry only about 25 shells.
[url]http://www.filedropper.com/20170304180006[/url] and again, about 1:30 - 2:00 in.
I can take more but you get the jest, even if I push forward, I die. If I sit back, I die. It's just complete BS. If you want to take a quick look and see, feel free to.[/QUOTE]

It doesn't matter how much ammo you're carrying if an active ammo rack gets hit.
I loaded the first replay and what I immediately noticed is that you've decided to carry only APCR.
..Why? Why two types of APCR, even? One is clearly better, but you've taken both, for some reason. There have been numerous posts about why solid shot/APCR/HVAP/blahblah does very little post-penetration damage.
You poke up to the usual lines of scrimmage (~1:40), wait not at all, and then turn and immediately head through the open towards enemy lines. Korea, that's a bad idea. If you want to brawl, go west. You spawned east, though, and are choosing to run across an open field.
So predictably you run into two enemies, and don't die immediately... So that's lucky on you.
Then you aim for the M10's engine. When it's already aiming at you. Why???
You manage to absorb *another* shot without any serious damage, which really should've killed you.
And then a third. And you shoot the engine deck AGAIN? The enemies finally penetrate you and you die, as you should.

Your ammo did not explode, so I'm not sure what you're complaining about.
That's replay #1. You had plenty of chances to kill both the chaffee and M10 and you just... didn't. It's not because of bad luck or anything, you just refused to play it well.
Okay, replay #2. Now you've brought 100% Pzgr., the flakbus ammo. That's.... another interesting, I would say incorrect choice. And you're taking point on the flank, away from the capture area.
So after being shot in the open you decide to stop for a while and... try and binocular towards the enemy shooting you, unsuccessfully. Do I need to explain why that's a bad idea?
[url]http://i.imgur.com/7HUfx4t.png[/url] I don't know what you're doing here. You just saw both T-34s around the corner to your front-left. You know an unknown tank (the comet) can snipe at you here. You've put flat hull towards the T-34s and are looking over here, for inexplicable reason.
[url]http://i.imgur.com/mLjIF70.png[/url] You sit exactly still, making no attempts to increase your traverse rate with the hull... Again, I don't know why you're not moving. You're just sitting there.
Unsurprisingly, the T-34 shoots right through you. Because he had side angle on your turret (because you looked away for no particular reason) and was at incredibly close range. So then you die to the comet [b]that you knew could shoot you there![/b] Why in god's name you didn't back up is beyond me. You had every indication of where the direct threats were and you blatantly ignored them. Like, if you had backed up 20-30m ( [url]http://i.imgur.com/HE5X4Ux.png[/url] this way) you would have support from two allied tanks and a hill to place between you and the comet. Instead, you let them drive right up to you and kill you.
I mean, it doesn't get any more basic than that. You saw them, you ignored them. That's why you died.

also this is not an ammo rack.
Someone got destroyed, in more ways than one.
oh man the me163 is a ball to play - i just unlocked it and all 3 games i've had in it have been fun as hell (even though in the first 2 i only got 1 kill each).
baited 3 mig-9s at once into low-speed turnfightin just now, killed 2 of them, just before i got the chance to kill him the third collided with a friendly 229 that had come to 'help' me.
unfortunately my fuel tank got hit and it was spain, so i didn't even get [I]close[/I] to making it back to the airfield :(((

getting uptiered to fight mig-17s and hunters a lot ain't fun tho

Just fly it in sim battles, that's where it really shines in its interception role. If you see an AF on the map flashing it means the AAA there is active and shooting something, most likely a bomber or someone silly enough to get close. I hunt down over confident MIGs all the time.
33 games in three days and only 11 kills to show for it. I just can't have fun with this game anymore.

unfortunately i'm even more terrible at aiming than usual when i'm using a joystick or a gamepad, else i'd be all over sim battles.
the idea of actually being able to sneak up on people using all that thrust is ridiculously appealing, it's just a shame the only way to get that without playing sim would be to take it into CARB.
[QUOTE=Dubeard;51917727]fun with this game[/QUOTE]
Woah, hold the fuck up here ...

I got the asu-57, bumrushed a flak-88 bus and he couldn't aim low enough to get me, picked off his crew and got my greatest kill ever.
Seriously the asu-57 is too much fun.
Also, is the premium hs-129b-2 Romania no longer available? In that case, I've got a rare vehicle!

Between an event they ran awhile back that was PvE with waves, and the rolling ban waves - I'm not upset.
It'll also be a great shitter containment area, place to grind out parts/FPE, etc.

I really wonder what the RP gain will be on it. I just hope it doesn't end up being just a free 10% RP booster thing you do every day.
I made a thing maybe watch it.

IDK about you, but I had lots of fun taking on the dumb AI during the Last Stand event on October of last year.
If they improved the AI, this would make for a nice break between PvP matches

Such as lassoing our Russian blyat mobiles together and netting a friendly tank...
Oh, lets not forget a full squad of Calliopes, fuck me it's brutal, i can still hear the screams.
I just failed to pen the front of a T34 85 with APDS on the M41.
Fml, why does RNG have to exist on pen values.
Edit: I just failed to pen MULTIPLE t34-85s from point blank on the frontal plate. Fuck american tanks for now. This aint rng. :tinfoil:

It's the reason i don't get anywhere on it because i only play it if im playing with someone else otherwise i would of un-installed it ages ago.

No airburst shells, another glass cannon.
