The goon channel in-game had its password changed and nobody here either knows about it or replied to my question so it may be dead.

appropriatemetaphor posted:Maybe the soviet ones suck or something. I could swear on the P-47 it seals up pretty quick, on whatever garbage Yak I've been using it just says "sealing" but plane just slowly burns up. The Yaks are supposed to use inert gas which should choke the fire, but that might be why it isn't sealing properly. I have to re-read up on their SST's though.

appropriatemetaphor posted:Oh I like them because they're real history looking. But I do feel like they're at a disadvantage. The gun especially is real weak in any up tier situation. You talking about the 50mm, 50mm long, or the 75mm short?

Do people not play AA vehicles in Real/Sim? 'Cause if that's the case I know what my new past-time is

Sounds like I need to put my AA skills to sim use then

# ¿ Mar 8, 2019 19:13 |

No, I was just curious because the 50mm Long shouldn't be too bad unless you're up against frontal armor

You know, the whole "research stuff with your squadron to unlock not-so-viable planes" and checking a couple of the faction tabs reminded me of something I did on reddit... 5 years ago? Christ. The idea was to grab any plane that could theoretically provide some form of offensive attack, be it bombs or guns. So many cool planes, so little time to research them all. I even had a huge file that huge "tech trees" for like... every major nation? Can't recall if I did tanks too. Edit 2: Pfffffff look at what happens when you have years of free time at a boring job with no supervision and a passion for learning about ww2 stuff Edit: The dates are wrong cause reasons Jobbo_Fett fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Mar 10, 2019 |

Just as I was about to get a good shot at him I got rammed by a lvl 19 in a F-86/35 in a near vertical dive blapping at the 91 the whole way down. So yeah. JOIN LAME ANYWAYS God.

The 100 days bonus is still there and I just got a 500% lions booster from it, lol. Has anyone here ever gotten a vehicle blueprint? Always see those spin but at 1000 days I've yet to win anything.

Blistex posted:Every now and then I also go seal clubbing. It's not as easy as it used to be, since it think more people are realizing after dicking around with Abrams and Leos than early tier is the best tier. Early tier is great because you can play the game and also unlock stuff without playing the same vehicle 300 times to spade it.

appropriatemetaphor posted:What's going on when you get a "destroyed a vision block" shot? Is glass just invincible? Basically, yeah. For whatever reason Gaijin has never bothered fixing vision blocks, so stuff like the Russian T-34 get an added bonus by not having the driver's hatch be a bigger liability than it currently is. The Tiger tank and Ferdinand/Elephant TD also get some added protection thanks to it.

Vision ports have the inexplicable capability of harnessing miniature black holes that absorb all manner of projectiles or fragments of projectiles.

Defensive gunners never get stealth belts, not as far as I know anyways. Reason is that it would be impossible for the gunner to adjust his fire, in a realistic setting. Without knowing what bomber it was, its hard to say how few tracers might be in said belt.

# ¿ Mar 28, 2019 21:04 |

It definitely should have tracers. The late turn might have been a replay/lag issue.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:So I'm seriously considering getting the Abrams pack since I'll use the eagles come the may sale anyway, and I wanted to start grinding up the US tree again since the UK is getting real frustrating. I'm only at 6.3-6.7 though with the US. Is it feasible/fun to play 9.0 matches with only the XM-1 while I grind up some other tanks at the tier? I've seen a lot of people with XM-1s. Speaking for arcade, it should be a safe enough bet.

Got any premiums?
|
# ¿ Apr 2, 2019 12:54 |

Use those, premiums are generally really good money-makers. If you hover over them it'll tell you what % they modify exp+lions gain. P-51 and A26 should be a decent combo, same with the boomerangs. Depends on if you play arcade or not, but ultimately, yeah, you'll kinda want to get used to playing them for a bit if you want to grind out a lot of cash. And the TU-2 was non-premium, but the swap apparently happened when I wasn't paying attention, so I have no clue why.

Alternatively, let the pubbie shoot you, hit J to confirm he gets attributed the kill and cause him like -20k Lions by holding J for 4 seconds.

The real secret to success is this: Only use one vehicle at a time, ever.

Nfcknblvbl posted:What if you think you have a good chance of clutching victory, and spawning a second vehicle could effectively double your rewards for the match? Then spawn a 2nd vehicle but only if its a spaded one. Up to a certain point, single-vehicle* repairs is cheaper than getting a kill/objective and quitting out once you die, and you focus all your research gains on the successor that actually gets a bonus, meaning its as efficient as possible, without hurting your other research.

jadebullet posted:With the changes to spawn points as well as tank rewards if you aren't slotting at least two tanks for CARB you are not only hindering yourself, but your team. Maybe, but full roster still dumps research into 1 vehicle only, which means you end up playing more matches to research the same stuff as a solo/spaded group

WebDO posted:I either don't understand what you're trying to say, or you don't understand how RP works in the game When researching a vehicle, only the direct predecessor accumulates bonus RP for it. Finishing an entire tier of upgrades to a vehicle gives a one-time bonus of RP for the vehicle you are researching. If you use a full roster all the time, you "waste" your one-time bonuses while also not getting any bonus RP with [roster - 1] vehicles. Its sub-optimal when you could simply grind with a single vehicle. No clue how efficient poo poo gets with CARB/SIM, but Arcade that has felt true for the longest time, and the fact that I've stayed at 18 million lions for years now seems indicative of that.

Solumin posted:Using the direct predecessor gets you 10% or 30% more RP (depending on the vehicles in question) for actions done in the predecessor. It's hardly significant. loving lmao 30% isn't significant.

I haven't kept up with any changes to the earning systems, I just know that its been working for me and at anything below Tier 6 I never wait for very long to find a match. Staying at 18 million while purchasing upgrades, repairs, and new vehicles means I'm staying in the black with the method I'm using. Is it bad? Consensus here seems to be yes, works for me.

Nice, should ease the grind on a lot of stuff! Which means more players getting to late-tier stuff earlier, which reduces wait times all around!

Danann posted:I thought the hard part of this event would be trying to figure out which part of the plane is damaged. I thought the examination was the entire point, so I was expecting something like -> Examine plane -> Guess what is wrong -> Replace part that is busted -> Examine plane -> Etc etc Current system seems rather dumb
