Neither of these are affected by premium.

(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.

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.

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.

Hello!

This kind of bug report would be at home here[forum.warthunder.com] on the official forum if you wanted to make an official bug report.

I made a very brief search and did not find any preexisting reports for this.

Originally posted by LordBUM: there is nothing fair or balanced about this just stop what was the point in adding another br if your going make them fight 10.0 anyway.

This is basically just a cyclical issue that is here to stay. For as long as there is a tiering system that contains more than one tier, and a match making system that allows any spread at all, it will be a problem. Always.

Even if the entire system was reserves and 1.3. Or 1.3 and 1.7. etc etc. Then there's the argument that even within the same BR level, it's merely an approximation, and that even at the exact same BR level, that there are the sheep and the wolves.

I tend to agree with Nova, that while there is certainly a performance gap within 10-11 BR that I personally feel it is less noticeable than at lower BR's.

Originally posted by Maelstrom: As other people mention they use a purely algorithmic based system using player stats. And *actual* player stats not ones listed on places like Thunderskill or some such crap.

The fact remains it is a very good tank for it's BR, and it can't reasonably go higher with the current BRs. So - it has a high repair cost.

@OP: There's your answer ^^^^^^^.

There's a paradigm shift at ~6.0-8.0 where the "WWII Heavies" which nations thought to be the future of combat/necessary, were replaced by main battle tanks, basically light/medium tanks with very, very high velocity guns.

Heavies can kill these MBT's, however, their 'strength' quickly becomes a handicap because they are n... Read more

Originally posted by Schwark: it looks like gajin has done nothing in months to keep the hackers down , gajin used to be on it every month now it looks like gajin quit and try to pretend it is not happening. this game is getting loaded with cheaters please do something and give us a fair playing grounds.

....... Player since 2012. I have only seen one, verified, hacker. One. And it was only recently (last year or so). So that means one of two things (1) Unlikely, but I never ran into a cheater until that point. or, (2), the cheaters are so abysmal that I never noticed them.

The lack of an updated ban list does not mean that they have been idle and/or "pretending the issue doens't exist". Point to me exactly where Gaijin asserted cheating wasn't an issue and they decided to throw it by the wayside?

There is no requirement, anywhere, that Gaijin must publish names publicly to ban them for c... Read more

In simulator battles, specifically for anything other than bombers, but still to include bombers: huge benefit.

In AB and RB, personally I don't think it's as big of a help.

You just have to tailor each slot for the unit to be used, not everything(for planes). Unless you just want to.

Eh, only have 5 crew slots for each nation, but I'm thinking that if I bought 4 more (not cheap... sadly), I could do a 3/3/3 split for planes/tanks/ships.

At that rate it would still be a hefty sum of GE to pay for crews, but not nearly as much as maxing each crew out.

I'd say you probably need 50,000 crew points for a tank crew, about 30K for a plane crew.

I -do not know- if those numbers are accurate, but I am willing to bet they are close.

Per the guide:
About 34k for planes.
About 71k for tanks.

Party on. lol

Eww. So I guess that's 2K per crew per plane slot, and about 4K per crew per tank slot...

Or only 3K if you w... Read more

You can buy crew experience points, how many is it to max out a tank crew?
17,500 is for 1000GE.
