I think you could say, "Russian Bias? A whole bucket load!"

Jokes aside, I think it's one of a few vehicles I unlocked/bought many, many, many years ago... There was nothing wildly special about (Other than being a KV, with an 85mm gun), and I was killing KV-85's with such ease that I didn't want to use it.

I might say that time has not done the KV-85 any large favors. I think most people immediately pass it over for the T-34-85 (Same gun, 0,3BR higher, but much more friendly handling characteristics), or if they really -must- have a heavy tank, they will pass it over for the IS-1.

Ultimately it is a heavy tank whos armor is largely inadequate.

@OP, this is likely a large contributing factor.

During high server traffic times/adequate people in the queues, you are right- it likely does not help significantly, if at all.

At low server traffic times (Which I'm pretty certain this is what developers had ... Read more

Simple as that. What is so hard about that Gaijin? Can't think of any ideas?

> Some spawns have the ability to shoot into the map as well as be shot into from the map. Basically means that if you have a super-high penetration gun, AP(FS)DS, or HEAT(FS), you have no large incentive to leave the spawn, basically just sit there, know the range to certain spots, dunk on people for profit.

> SPAA is now invincible.

> Said 'campers' can literally jut wait for you to drive 0,00001 meter out of spawn, you die.

Yes, "simple".


The issue here is that there will always be a "Next best thing", and honestly.... there's lots of hard cover that protects people who are looking into spawns, and people in the spawns cannot see through... Read more

War Thunder is a HUGE and in-depth game. We have approx over 2,000 vehicles in the game and we've just had a major update. Naturally, with a major update, issues can arise. With that amount of vehicles and the major update, there is bound to have problems occur.

The community reports many bugs on the bug tracker: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder which are often passed back to the developers and when they are located, they are fixed and patched to the game alongside patchnotes. I hope you can understand this.

Cheers!

Originally posted by Mr. Black: Besides the battle pass, does Gaijin really think that such small rewards encourage a player to be farming 20,000 points under certain conditions?

Lets be honest, most player dont even have time for battle pass, this game is already very time consuming, the simple fact that the reward is ONLY ONE of the following items:
-booster
-replacements
-a few eagles
-a day of premium
-a skin
...(normally the bad booster always comes out)

it's insulting how little gaijin encourages its players to complete these types of tasks.

AND I KNOW THAT THIS KIND OF THREAD IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING, gaijin doesn't read these forums, even if a fellow reads them he doesn't care and nobody is going to move a finger, but I want to know if I'm the only player who finds this type of quest and the gaijin practices that treat their players with the tip of the boot ...

Originally posted by emkill: I cant gent the silvers, 260l even in payng premium, its not like I am asking a lot, this is just dumb

A few premium ships are +1200% SL (yes, w/ premium account, ~0,10$ a day, cheaper than any 'nearby competitors' rates)...

Even if you want nothing to do with premium account or premium vehicles... There are lots of things that you can do to make money. Playing lower BR's, playing in a squad, even PvE can give decent SLs.

You probably have a stash of orders for like... antimech, whatever that will give you even more SL for ground-pounding, and some wagers are incredibly easy to perform if you are aware of the OP lineups.

It depends on situation. If you move, your spawn protection is disabled faster.
AFAIK You can see if you have it or not by checking tank status icon on bottom left side of the screen. If it blinks - spawn protection is on.

Most probably it shows connection issues between you and server.
Jump here: https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/ and check server replay of your battle. You will see how server saw your game. Most probably due to lag/packet loss, your game client render the shell/enemy with delay.

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.

Originally posted by DrawenHUN: i was a long time world of tanks player so i know about most ammo types and crew placement.

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 year of the vehicle does not matter. How capable it is matters. If it is from the 70's and is worthy of being tier 4 because of its performance, then that is where it will go.

If the vehicle proves to be too powerful, then its BR will go up. BRs are mostly determined by statistical performance.

We're still fixing bugs found during the last dev server. Hope to get everything wrapped in the next few days, but we'll see.
