If I had to guess, an early T-34 with lousy penetration, against Pz IV 7,5 that is just going to be a tack driver through the front of T-34.

One shot kills

Honestly.... This really doesn't mean a whole lot. Of the handful of games I've watched of WoT and played..... there is really not a whole lot of comparison. WT is not "The perfect simulator", but compared to WoT, it is far more realistic in terms of how damage is applied.

War Thunder is not, "Congratulations, you've penetrated the target, now roll the dice for how much damage you're going to do!", where penetration is king (Or, at least, that's how I recall WoT; maybe it has changed).

As a new player, in the early tiers, if you're not using APHE/APCBC (WITH FILLER, British APCBC doe... Read more

The BTR-ZD is a light Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft unit, developed as a makeshift solution based on the design of the BTR-D airborne APC.

TLDR, that^. Essentially the same philosophy with the E-100 and Maus.

There are quite a few other tanks, albeit quite a bit less prominent, that pretty much need to be played the same way (Like the French B1's, early Churchills (imo), etc.

80th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway

Post


This June marks the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway, a turning point of the war in the Pacific during WWII. Japanese forces planned to catch the Americans by surprise, but the Japanese naval code was deciphered, and this allowed US troops to properly prepare and triumph in battle.

From June 3rd (11:00 GMT) till June 6th (07:00 GMT) play 3 battles in American or Japanese vehicles (rank III and above, activity 70% or more) to achieve the “Battle of Midway” decal.



The decal can be found in the customization menu, section “Other”.

Russian HE - Problems !!!

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
If you have the documentation to show something is modeled incorrectly, please make a specific bug report.

Developers cannot do very much with "Russian HE isn't working, please fix"..

is there a easy way to get millions of lions at lough rank?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
If you're strictly F2P, the way you're going to earn lions is paying attention to repair costs, playing conservatively, and paying attention to what the vehicle SL multipliers are.

IF your playstyle is rushing and playing whatever (ie, not paying attention to repair costs) or using more expensive ammunition and not ensuring that your shots are connecting... you will lose money.

Best xm 1 gm ammo?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
To my experience, I have 99.99% of time favored APFSDS over HEATFS....

For me, APDS vs HEATFS is more circumstantial, but I tend to lean to APDS even then, (1) for velocity, and (2) sometimes my shot placement is kind of off, and the heatfs hits something spaced and has no effect at all.

HEATFS works really good from like.... 5.3-7.0 though, IMO.

Mine or his?

His point was basically that "Nation X suffers from Nation Y, Nation Y suffers from Nation Z, and Nation Z suffers because they are prohibitively expensive"

Mine was basically just asking how familiar he was with what he was shooting at, if he was playing to his own tanks strengths, and if he had good situational awareness.

IMHO if players play their tanks to their strengths and have good situational awareness.... They will have a pretty good chance of being top 5+.

1) What is your experience level with armor layout of various tanks?
2) What is your level of tactical/situational awareness?

There is no "Wrong" answer to the above.... What I am trying to get at, is that if you are unfamiliar with enemy weak points, you will have a bad time.... And if you do not play according to your tanks capabilities and use the mini map.... also a bad time....

Nation-hopping will not solve either above issue until you have nation-hopped through all countries to experience all tanks, and the only function that serves is (1), learning the armor layouts.

Premium Not Worth

Well... you make a post about premium not being worthwhile, then bring up things that premium has no effect over. Doesn't make much sense.

All of the things that you brought up can be remedied with practice and situational awareness. There are lots of people who have premium and do not run into any of the issues you talked about, except perhaps revenge bombing in RB.

Neither of these are affected by premium.

Originally posted by Fhuey: ... (1)make no currency as repairs and (2)ammo just eats it all up.
(1) When I'm short on SLs I play my expensive vehicles much more conservatively. If it's a full uptier, I will not play them in that match at all.
(2) Ammo should almost never be what eats a significant portion of your profits. If this is the case, practicing rangefinding and shot placement should be something you prioritize. Even if it's just going for a test drive, pulling up to a random location on the map, and trying to hit the Ai targets in specific areas.

Is the Sea Vixen F.A.W. Mk.2 worth it with no guns?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
I don't have the FAW Mk.2, but of the few times I've seen one, they were potent (And especially potent at 8.3 before they got moved to 8.7...).

I think the answer is "Yes", asterisk. IMHO far better suited to air-to-air combat than the Meteor or Attacker jet premiums.

Asterisk being, what mode do you intend to use it in (RB/SB?), and, how comfortable/knowledgeable are you about AAM's?


Just my personal two cents. Full disclosure that as of late (Few months) I've been playing much more GFRB than Air RB.

Whats the point of adding the Elefant

Being German, I also only know it as " Elefant " no one here uses Ferdinand.

But... It isn't "literally" the same. There are differences, even if they are minor. Slightly more armor in some areas, MG, and the transmission is different.

I'm sure there are even smaller changes (Ammo location within the tank and some of the rear armor I believe) if you really want to list all of them out.



Wikipedia articles are not the most authoritative source in all the land, either.
