Why doesn't Gaijin do anything about squadrons praising war criminals?

Comment

At the most general of levels: If there is someone, a group, etc who is violating the rules, they should be reported and the reports make their way through our system and are evaluated. This applies here.

It is not an instantaneous process, and you should not expect it to be.

There is no lynching, there is no naming and shaming, witch hunting, etc. All of this tactics is not helpful to any of the moderation teams, whether it is forum or in game etc.

If you would like to discuss, send me a PM.


The rules:
2.2.1 It is forbidden to use the following as a nickname or squadron / clan name or as squadron / clan description or abbreviation / tag:

2.2.1.1. Obscene or offensive / abusive language, including profanity and insult via direct statement or implication (full or partial circumvention). This includes the use of swearing, medical-related reference (such as cancer, mental illness, etc.), and other reference... Read more

National Foundation Day in Japan

Post


According to legend, Jimmu, the first Emperor of Japan ascended to the throne 2683 years ago on the first day of the first Lunar month — that was February 11th, 660 BC.

After the Meiji Restoration, the Emperor decreed this day a national holiday; it was temporarily banned after WWII, but was brought back in the mid-1960s.

On February 11th Japanese temples hold festivals, buildings are decorated with flags, and the royal family addresses the nation.

From February 10th ( 11:00 GMT) until February 13th (7:00 GMT)

Dear players,

We have another round of questions and answers for you, with War Thunder producer Vyacheslav Bulannikov!

Ground


Question: Are there any plans for a subtree for the Italian ground forces line to bolster their lineups much in the same way South Africa and Finnish vehicles provided their respective trees?
Answer: Yes, we have such plans.

Question: With the recent rework of domestic crew voices for naval forces, is it possible we will see something similar for Ground Forces? Including the sub-tee nations of South Africa and Finland as well as separated crew voices for British ground vehicles that currently still use American c... Read more

Victory in Stalingrad Day

Post


The Battle of Stalingrad began in the summer of 1942: both German and Soviet command considered the city to be of critical importance. In autumn the Red Army during Operation Uranus successfully encircled the Wehrmacht forces near Stalingrad. Axis powers failed in their attempt to break through, and on February 2nd, 1943 field marshal Paulus went against Hitler’s orders and surrendered. This victory became one of the most important events of WWII.

From February 2nd (10:00 GMT) until February 6th (07:00 GMT)

Play 3 battles using Soviet vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Vehicles of Victory: T-60” decal. You can also earn the “Ampulomet” decoration for ground vehicles by winning 5 battles using Soviet ground vehicles.

Advice on using the M48 Patton?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
I guess I should probably express my more complete thoughts about the "correct way" (My opinion...) on researching the US Tree-

Provided you've already researched everything through Rank 4, your best lineups are going to be 8.0 and 9.3 (RB)
If you plan on stopping to enjoy 8.0 -- You want the M60A1 AOS, the Bradley IFV, T95E1, and the M163, probably in that order (I never bothered to research the T95E1, so I can't really comment on how good or bad it is. I feel like I don't see a ton of them, but when I do... they seem to do OK.). Additional bonus for the M901 Wall-E (Nice thermals, if you can hide the tank behind cover and only expose launcher), and the T54E1 premium is pretty slick, too. Other 8.0's (M551, M60A2) can be useful, but I do not feel they are as good as the first 4 vehicles I have listed.

Or plan on stopping at 9.3 -- MBT-70, XM803, M3A3 Bradley, M247, and M60A3 TTS. Additionally, XM-1 premium can be nice.

Advice on using the M48 Patton?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
IMO, most of the M46/M47/M48/M60 (Early..) tanks are best used in the "assistive" role.

Their mobility (for what they are..) I suppose is OK, but the complete lack of even a basic stabilizer puts them at quite a disadvantage on the move.

As Ship says above... The M46 is probably what you should stick with until you get to the M60A1 AOS, RISE, and TTS models.

Fundamentally, there is no advantage to having the M47 other than a smaller turret profile (At cost of 0,3 BR), the M48 has a stronger hull (At the cost of 0,3 BR), and then there's no real point to the M60 if you could instead just research the A1 who has a nicer turret-face and a stabiliser.

Which 30mm belt for the squadron 262 is for which set of guns?

WMA301 8.7 is good br

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Originally posted by bee: i see a lot people in forum saying it should stay 8.3

and it's skill issue if you can't use tank that need no brain to use

An argument could equally be made as follows:
(1) 7.3 (Or 7.7, or 8.0) tanks were never supposed to be as good as an 8.3 tank, or they would be 8.3 themselves.
(2) That the WMA has soggy tissue paper for armor, and that even planes with .30 caliber (much less .50...) machine guns can pose a serious threat to it.
(3) That ~16.5 horsepower per ton for 8.3 is average at best- you need a lot of room for the 301 to "stretch his legs".
and (4) that the only round worth using on that tank (APFSDS) is equivalent to what several other 8.0/8.3 tanks use (DM33, M111, etc), and grossly underperforms what some 8.7 tanks have access to (Type 93, DM33, 3BM28).
