Japan tanks are fun and at the beginning of every round I type "with all these china tanks we can not lose" "lets show them are teriyaki!" and 4/5 rounds at least someone pipes up with "uhm i think you mean JAPANESE tanks" or something similar.

One guy actually said "Presumably you mean Japanese tanks?"

It seems like the team that has the most planes in the air loses the match like 9/10 times.

I wish you could shoot down your own team's planes as an SPAA it's all I'd do.

I usually practice on friendly planes and I hit one once then he crashed, and it gave me a silver lion TK penalty, whats up with that.

Also I have discovered that you CAN team kill planes with SPAA. I've started doing it when too many idiots get in planes and they get pretty upset, I always explain that I was doing the right thing, since they are saboteurs wasting valuable vehicle spawns in their planes.

r2y2s play like heavy fighters but are classified as bombers which can and has been exploited in sim

kikka is a rad challenge if you're about that cyber ace life. think of it as a more agile me262. i would only recommend this jet for sim or arcade battles unless you know what youre doing

Whatever i get would be my first jet. I've got the first r2y2 researched already but could grind out the ki200 in time for the sale I think, I've got a bunch of premium jap fighters.

the 3 Ki-84s and the Ki-200 plus the P1Y1 -> R2Y2 V1 totalled about a million and a half silver ducats so I saved a million and a half silver ducats!

You can get your tank pretty black using this hun decal if you make it big, two sided, and rotate it around right:

I only recently noticed you could rangefind and then adjust the elevation on your sights.

I tried to do it to the mouse wheel but it wouldn't work, ended up using Z and C.

Free look I had already bound to alt since I got used to it that way from arma games.

This in tanks :laffo:

It's still pretty alpha but can with less vodka, less idiotic design decisions and an engine overhaul, kick serious rear end and be legitimately fine and balanced.

The WoWS rejects who play only Destroyers and want them to be in T1 are the wehraboos of the seas mentally and it's a good time to practice bullseyeing with bombs.


e: the test even balance is basically rubber dinghy VS fully manned ultra-destroyer, instead of getting the bigass 4x88mm cannon boats we had in previous tests before Destroyers came and hosed the balance. Best defense boats have against destroyers is the aiming system, which gets more stable if you strand yourself on purpose, and the enemy Destroyers tend to broadside without worry or care so forward facing turrets are enough to dispatch one after another.

By strand yourself do you mean like run your boat aground?

Japan has no problem at 6.7 because you get the Type 60 SPRG which doesn't care what tier your enemies are or how thick their armor is or if its sloped or whatever.

WT needs some serious pay2trole.

They should let you reduce the BR on your vehicles in exchange for very large increases in repair cost and time.

Like a 9.0 BR tank reduced to 5.7 BR should cost say a million silver lions to repair or require 1 week to repair at max repair skill.

One of the nice things about cold war tanks is that they're all dangerous. Even a T-55 could poke big nasty holes a T-90 in any fight that isn't a frontal slugfest.

One lucky bomb and it doesnt matter what your tank is, even artillery if its a direct hit no?

Dont even hosed up tracks incur some repair cost?

Alternatively, set a limit to how far you can lower the BR?

I'm getting burnt out on Air Arcade and worthless teammates. There's not a good reason why I should be at about 3k points and in the top 3 and the rest of the team just sort of... dies a lot with nothing to show for it. Multiply the frustration 300% when you activate a 300% booster and your teammates start shooting each other and I just want to uninstall this bullshit game I seem to have over 100 premium days remaining.

This is why i dont activate those big boosters because the game puts you in the worst teams and then its more frustrating than if you never used it in the first place.

China tanks and TDs are really fun and the tree isn't clogged up with useless sidegrade stuff.

You'll never have issues penetrating the stuff you fight, you dont have a ton of armor but you always get a great gun.

Also the american tanks you eventually get are good ones, the m24, m41 and 76mm sherman, and they are cheaper/take fewer RP to unlock than they do in the American tree.

Their planes are good too.
