[QUOTE=scout1;51982826]The teamkilling ban system is entirely automated because it saves on major manpower
Why are people teamkilling you, anyway? You youtube famous or something?[/QUOTE]
I was actually joking about that today, like maybe someone else uses the same name or something but no, no one does.
I've either managed to piss off THAT many people that badly that they remember my name to tk me on sight or im just a magnet for fuckwits
[editline]20th March 2017[/editline]
That or people just don't like it when someone has more kills than the entire rest of his team combined.
M82 is such a good shot, it's so good in fact, you might consider getting it before repair Parts.
What would I do to make it the default ammo for the American 90mm ;_;

How do you even die [b]5 TIMES[/b] with only 1 cap and a kill.
Interestingly, the maximum speed possible (in-engine) seems to be about 7500kph, or slightly over mach 6.

It also results in nonsensical messages like the retract gear warning even though the gear is up.
Of course, doing this in RB or SB results in a wing rip or plane implosion.
[QUOTE=BananaMed;51986261]M82 is such a good shot[/QUOTE]
it's a good shot but you'll hate it eventually once you've ground it out for the 50th time on a tank that has it as a progress-blocker towards the ammunition it desperately needs at its high tier.

I think at sustained negative 50G your head would fucking explode. That's not an understatement or hyperbole.
And speaking of exploding heads, I'm actually kind of having fun with the Swingfire.

The rocket sled experiment maxed out at 46.2 G's, but Stapp didn't exact walk away from it without a scratch. Really depends on what direction the force is being applied. Assuming he was pulling up for 50G's, that's an awful lot of force pulling blood away from the brain.
Finally, got the M26.
I am really surprised how much of a smooth grind the T25 has been. Sure it was pretty painful without APHE, but once you get it it's pretty okay.

I am done with it for some time though. It served me well.

Well it alternates between +50G and -50G as the plane shudders incredibly violently at that speed, along with losing upwards of 2000kph of speed per second.
Still controllable in a rough direction, surprisingly.
Using setspeed at below control suface lockup speeds results in stupidly maneuverable airplanes. While a duck would never achieve 500kph outside of a steep dive, it can with setspeed. And it turns incredibly quickly at that speed. Normally it would bleed it all in the turn.

It's all plaintext so you can edit the hs129b-3 to whatever plane you prefer

M82 Shot is one of the best rounds in the game.
It's unfortunate that it has just SLIGHTLY too little pen to be relevant in 6.7 onward unless you can stay on the flanks (it's acceptable in 8.0 vs Germans, though.)
And it's doubly unfortunate that the American 90mm Solid/APCR rounds exist to raise blood pressure.
Loving the Pershing so far.
Blasting Naziboos left and right.
Ok Swingfire is just like the FV4005.

Sometimes the fun comes at a cost of effectiveness though.
I could easily maintain like an 80% W/R in the Chieftain, or I could fuck around with my 50% Swingfire because it's silly and different. I don't even know what I wound up with in the FV4005 and I don't want to look - half the matches I played, I didn't even get to click on anyone.
I'm actually at 66% win ratio in the FV4005, along with 40/17 K/D ratio, I'm surprised.
so I finally managed to make it to 250k lions and finally got the Tiger E, then was smacked in the face with a 72k crew conversion fee. I forgot this was a thing, great now I still don't have the Tiger E and now I barely have enough lions left over to repair a single tier 3 tank. Guys, did I just screw myself over. Is my tier 3 tanking days over.

You need to nab yourself a premium, premium time, or go play planes where everything just prints money anyways.
Queuing my Marders in 4.7ish range is perfect together with my 410 B1 and 190 F8 :)

The game is fun when you don't get shit on by weird ballistics/penetration glitches (tracks eat shell, da comrade), and don't meet people who P2W their tanks into moving bushes in RB.

Vehicles will automatically repair over time (like, several hours. Or longer than 1 day at tier V)
So no, you can never be SOL. and reserve vehicles are always free to repair/play
Play some planes, shit on some AI ground targets and you'll be fine
I just had a 7-kill [I]"lol I'll spawn in the Falcon first"[/I] match.

And I shot down a plane with the Swingfire's actual rocket this time.

Strafe ground targets in air rb for like 10 minutes, make 40k a round without premium on vehicles with like 5k repair costs, pay for all your tanks

I thought i'd be able to get back into Warthunder due to this PvE Assault mode thing they brought in. But you don't earn anything but a token from it, making the bloody thing pointless.
Armored Warfare had a somewhat solid PvE, why can't this?

AW had two modes. PvE and PvP.

Tank AB
Tank RB

As much as I want PvE to be good, the player base is already compartmentalized to an extreme. If they made PvE rewards great, the counts in these modes would halve overnight.
it takes over 20 minutes to finish, the enemies spawn all over the place and take forever to get to and spawn so often that you're inevitably going to lose

I found it easy at low tier with the right plane or semi-decent teammates.
I'll agree it's fucking worthless to even try in like Era V. Even in jets I couldn't get to all the objectives in time.
Waiting for the tank one, honestly.
[editline]20th March 2017[/editline]
Track add-on armor on the Jagdtiger and Tiger II completely blocks FV4005's HESH.
Great feature.
Alright, so i tell a lie. You can earn money and research for Assault, but not that much, it's next to bugger all and time consuming for such little payout.

I was afraid that would happen. Gaijin seems to have an innate hatred of large player bases.
This game makes me hate german armor, purely because nearly all their tanks are box shaped and shoot me anywhere to kill. I swear I've died so many times to a shot hitting my frontal armor at like a 45 degree angle.
I have a very strong love hate relationship with this game, when I play it's all salt and me dying nonstop, but I keep coming back and play more like I feel like maybe the next round will be better, but it never happens.
alrighty gimme some tips on how to be a A+++ tanker, I feel like I'm in a match of Counter Strike deathmatch against a whole team of awpers. 80 percent of my games I got through all my tanks and only getting about 1-2 hits on a enemy tank. That's how bad I am.
Generally, just don't be very aggressive unless you have a very fast tank. The first tank to take a shot is usually the one that wins (assuming you aren't using crap solid shot, then you lose half of the time anyway).
