If I can remember to do so, I'll get a video uploaded to my youtube channel. Just went 11-1 with an M4A2 (76) W against Germans and Russians, but never encountered a German tank. All 11 kills were Russians.

Edit: This was in realistic tank battles.

That's pretty good to get 11 kills in a realistic battle and considering they were all Russian tanks. If you guys like you can add me on Warthunder. My name tag is Racer283.
 
It's not connecting me to the main chat even though it says it's connecting. Guess that leaves me out.

Edit: It only took 3 battles to connect.

Maybe it's just coincidental, but Panther A in battle without booster applied = faces BR5.0-6.0 tanks. Panther A with booster active: Faces 6.0+.
 
Wow...

Something I've noticed lately is how terrible the Ferdinand's repair time is. On average, it exceeds 2 minutes, while the Jagdtiger is around 20-30 seconds...


Something is wrong here.
 
I believe there is some rebalancing coming with 1.53. At least that is how BVG makes it sound. This is actually supposed to be a fairly big update.

Had to rage quit last night after loosing 10 straight matches... The 10.5 tiger is so unlucky. I don't understand how it's so inaccurate either.
 
ughh... the russian bias is just too strong..

Here's how a match goes typically:
Pulls out 10.5 to get parts mod. Drives about 200 yards, one shotted.
Pulls out Jagdtiger. Kills 9 people, caps 3 seperate times, places first at end of match.

Next game:
Puls out 10.5 to get parts mod. Drives to base. H Turrert ring gets knocked out, making tank useless.
Pulls out Jagdtiger. Kills 9 people, takes the base. Gets flanked, dies.
Pulls out Kugelblitz. Lives through the game getting 2 air kills.

And the next game:
Pulls out 10.5 tiger to get.... Drives to base. Kills an AI Panther G. M26 loads late, one shotted.
Pulls out Jagdtiger. Goes to base. M26 loads late, lower glacis shot, disabled. Flanked by T28, dead.
Pulls out Kugelblitz. Charges the base. Kills M26 by the flank, kills T28 by copula hit. Loses the match due to ticket counter.


That happened damn near three times in a row last night...

Tigers are good at blowing up only. Heavy tank my ass..

Every German tank after the Tiger II P is so vulnerable in the cheek. The Tiger II H sometimes gives me trouble though, where I hit the mantlet over and over and over... Of course, that does nothing to him, but when it takes 19.5 seconds to reload for me, and him just under half that... Things start to get heated.

Mhm. That's why I've pretty much given up on German tanks.. Well, tanks in general.

I still play them because I just need something that can kill the T10 from head on.... and that's about it.

As soon as I get the Leopard I'm going to RB for the most part and having fun there. If not sim battles when I get the snow camo for my Jagdtiger.

Arcade is only good for tier 1. If you know where to make your shots, you should play RB.

Well I've been playing a multitude of tanks lately, and I have yet to hone down on each tanks own shots...

What pisses me off is that the spawn points keep rising after deaths..
 
Pretty much any tank, if you can get them on the side, hit them just behind the transmission at the front and it's typically a one-shot kill.

T-34 machine gun on the front is a weak point for a one-shot kill.

That reminds me, I still need to upload that video...

But, if you bring up a tank in the hangar and check their armor and x-ray, you can figure out where each one needs to be shot at.
 
That's what the gun sight is for. It takes some practice, but everyone is on an even playing field with that. Without distance markers or an aim assistant, you have to know approximately how far you are from the target and how the round travels.

1.53 is adding a range finder, so that will alleviate some of the issue there.
 
Yeah, I never shoot third person unless we are in a duel and I had to ram him...

I mean, the rangefinder in world of warships makes sense.. The random numbers on the left in WT, not at all..

New update is out (minor patch).

And made me ask this question... I play on my laptop. Is it possible to play via a PS3 controller?
Click to expand...
Yes, but it's no use on tanks (keyboard + mouse are better for aiming). It's useful in plane SB, though (if you don't have a normal joystick for plane sims). But I'm still yet to pick a proper setup for that...
 
Right on what Rage said. for arcade, for get about it, mousers have a serious advantage (for flight) over controllers or flight sticks. Realistic battles flight mechanics help level the field, doubly so for Simulation. As for tanks, I've only ever used a mouse and keyboard, but I cant see a controller having any advantage over a mouse.
 
Yeah, main use is going to be for air battles if I get into them again...

Mouse is good. The only shame is how inaccurate the laser is on this one, as I move it the slightest bit and nothing happens..

I know there's a lot more to mouses but I don't need nothing that special.
