Challenger 2 is slow.
So what's the truth about arty in this game?
So far I've only experienced them on the receiving end, being plinked and missed away for 40-400 damage.
Can you actually help your team with arty or is it a containment class for all the wankers?
>>121994323
that's ok, so are the guys who drive it
>>121994368
pure support
just like those healslut in mmo
Sometimes the game just give you 10 shitty suicidal teams in a row, right? It must happen to everyone. Tell me everything is going to be ok /awg/
>>121994368
Think about if your tank had topdown mode, camera only. Now you only do explosive damage and your reload is twice as long and you do less damage.
Thats artillery currently.
>>121994368
complete and utter garbage
>>121994417
Two t4 matches in the zhalo last night in a row that were losses with me getting almost 5000 damage in each.
That's the price of the MM, the better you are, the worse everyone else is to compensate.
>>121994368
>Can you actually help your team with arty
Only if you coordinate with the other arty. Playing against an arty platoon as top tier mbt is horrible on certain maps.

How does the normalization retrofit work?
5% on the first tier is pretty laughable if it's actually 5%.
AP has 5°;
5°x1.05=5.25°;
At tier 3 the retrofit gives you 7.50%:
5°x1.075=5.375°
Taking the values in pic related for the upper frontal plate and applying the formula some nerd wrote up here:
https://aw.my.com/en/forum/showthread.php?880-Overpowered-Tanks&p=15298&viewfull=1#post15298
[effective armor]=142mm/sin(x)
with x = 22° (no normalization) the effective armor is 379 mm.
with x = 27° (default normalization of AP round) the effictive armor is 312.8 mm.
with x = 27.375 (tier 3 retrofit) the effective armor is 308.8 mm.
You get a whopping effective armor reduction of
4 mm
compared to no retrofit if shooting at the upper frontal plate of a T-64 with AP.This can't be true, can it? Please tell me I made a mistake somwhere.
>>121997156
I think it just straight up adds those % to your normalization
question:
does the T-62 you get for free count to shishikin stuff or it now just sitting in my garage looking painted?
>>121997369
Does it have shitskin logo behind itself on the bar?
No?
Then it's the same as the 430.
Jack shit.
>>121997362
If that's true the tier 3 retrofit gives you an effective armor reduction of respectable 62 mm.
>>121997443
well fucking dongballs
>>121997479
And still not many people will actually pick it IF it does it that wayI wonder if you actually get HEAT normalization because of it
>>121997362
>add 5% to °
>not *1,05
wat
on the topic of normalization, what values does the game use anyway? 5° for all AP rounds? more for APDS shells? less?
>>121997663
normalization is 5 degrees for AP shells (none for other types)
>>121997663
Not sure honestly.
I wish wiki ACTUALLY HAD SOME FUCKING INFO

>>121997567
only ap has normalization
someone please explain why the PG-19 HEAT shell when fired from the 2A28 gun in the BMD-1 does 309 damage with 192 pen while the PG-19 HEAT shell when fired from the 2A28 gun in the BMP-1 does 313 damage with 187 pen
what the fuck obsidian.
>>121998432
You see comrade, crew in BMP is always drunk so they pour Vodka over HEAT shell everytime, which makes the shell go big kaboom, hahaha.
And also comrade, the crew in BMD is always in gym and training to be as bear. So they press firing button harder, which makes shell go faster and also shells for some reason also get fit in process which makes them bigger but leaner so they penetrate further bug have not so much kaboom. )))
>>121997156
>>121997663
AP has 5 degrees normalization.
The retrofit adds 2 degrees as a flat bonus with its Mk. 1 and 3 degrees at Mk. 3.
So with Mk. 3, AP has 8 degrees of normalization.
>>121999565
so the tooltip is just completely wrong? well, i can't say i'm surprised
>>121999565
so is it worth it to forgoe damage for normalisation if you want to more consistent damage without having to pinpoint aim?
>>122000293
No.
>>122000293
The 3° extra normalisation equals to roughly 9% of effective armor decrease.
>>122000481
uh, that depends entirely on the AOI

And early chink tanks will be mirror clones of soviet tanks, yay!
>>122003382
>It's armed with a 14.5 machinegun.
pretty much every low-tier vehicle only has 10 mm or is a MBT anyway
>>122003652
isn't it the lowest calibre atm is 20mm?
playing amx and few others with similar calibres is suffering.
>>122003382
>And early chink tanks will be mirror clones of soviet tanks, yay!
look this is the CW. there's the NATO-pattern MBT and the Soviet-pattern MBT. both are available under many different marques and model numbers
So the veteran T-62 is the exact same as the regular one?
what's the point, is it just a camo paint preview?
>>122003961
>isn't it the lowest calibre atm is 20mm?
i think so but the 14,5 should still be capable of shooting up almost every tank it'll see that would also be vulnerable to the 20 mm, although it'll probably be pickier about angles and hard spots
the only real problem for it i can think off of-hand is the front armor on the AMX-10P and W-B
>>122004214
a m113 can bounce shots from it's own 20mm fairly reliably with a bit of angling if I remember right
>>122004418
Only if the guy shooting at you is an idiot, but yeah
>>122004114
i heard the visibility value is worse lol.
>>122004214
>i think so but the 14,5 should still be capable of shooting up almost every tank it'll see that would also be vulnerable to the 20 mm
no way, amx already has much better chance at penetrating a side armore of mbt just becouse it has 81 pen and other apc with 20mm has only 75.
14.5 will have 60 pen at most. they will probably add powerful ATGM and put in on level 3.

When does PvP get good?
ATM I'm just playing PvE because I can carry but the same missions get boring quickly.
Also, MBTs seem a bit OP at tier 4 and 5. Do the classes balance out at high tiers?
>>122006896
>Do the classes balance out at high tiers?
ha ha no
If anything tier 1-4 are the most balanced match right now.
>ran out of ATGMS
The Crab needs more than 30.
It needs so much more than 30.
>>122007098
Oh. I was worried that this might be the case.
Do you think I should get a couple of high tier MBTs and take advantage of the current meta, or grind out all the tier 4s and hope for future balances?
>>122006896
>When does PvP get good?
when you git gud.
>Also, MBTs seem a bit OP at tier 4 and 5
Not in PvP. They are blind and can be penetrated even from the front if you know where to shoot. Not to mention most MBT players are dumb.
>>122007407
Ok, I am still new at this game, but it feels like enemy TDs can't pen me unless they get close enough for me to spot them and hit them back twice as hard...same for enemy LTs and AFVs.
The only thing I am scared of are ATGMs and chip damage from arty, both of which you can dodge.
Do you feel like this too?
>>122008174
TDs are indeed not as effective as ATGMs on long ranges, simply becouse ATGMs are much more accurate and can penetrate a lot more. Vechicles without ATGMs pretty much make most of their damage by targeting other soft targets or flanking MBTs. Anyway, that doesn't makes MBTs OP becouse their vision sucks so hard.
>>122008174
>The only thing I am scared of are ATGMs and chip damage from arty, both of which you can dodge.
And no, you can't dodge that shit if enemy is skillful enough. Arty will predict your next move(usually it's reversing if you are idle) and ATGM will keep his rocket in sky for half of the duration of flight to make your warning sign appear too late.
>>122009045
>ATGM will keep his rocket in sky for half of the duration of flight to make your warning sign appear too late.
doubt that works, the warning is in a huge radius.

Is this game balanced?
How are the graphics and effects compared to War thunder?
Is it actually fun?
>>122010638
More fun than WT for sure. More arcade feel, but still with the feeling of driving tanks
>>122010638
Better than WoT. Arty isn't one-hit KO. Playerbase seems to not be as retarded as WoT but that might just be a question of time. They're not jewing as hard as WT or WoT. Graphics are okay. Nothing too great. Some maps need improvements optimisation wise.
>>122010638
Balance is a bit wobbly right now. Lower tiers feel pretty even but tiers 6 and up seem skewed towards main battle tanks.
Graphics is worse than WT at the moment to be honest, but it runs on the Cryengine and there's still a lot of time to get better.
Personally I'm having a blast going 90mph and doing wheelies and drifts with my VBL.

Swingfire is excellent late game if your team is focused on defense.
It can hold certain areas on most maps with relative ease, because almost always, it's a handful of MBTs that are left on the other team. It fucking sucks when you have to actively chase down you enemies though.
>>122014640
Our was simply scouting the two remaining MBT's on the end, one was capping, got to 50, and then got two shelled.

lvl 2: Carry 50% more support shells or increase radius of their effectiveness by 25%
lvl 3: Whenever you fire, your next shot within 4 seconds does not ping the enemy's map
lvl 4: 10% aim time or 10% accuracy
lvl 5: Whenever you deal damage with HE, aim time decreases by 10% for 6 seconds (stacking)
Commander on Palmaria
lvl 1: Reload reduced by 10% for 15 seconds whenever you deal damage with HE
lvl 2: Carry 50% more support shells or increase radius of their effectiveness by 25%
lvl 3: Increase splash damage by 10%

>>122029710
>actually moving them to T6 instead of T4

>>122029710
>Whenever you fire, your next shot within 4 seconds does not ping the enemy's map
I presume the Akatsiya has an ammo drum?
I'm only at t4 now
>>122030332
Yes the problem is that the drum magazine offers only marginally more damage than a single shot while exposing you for much longer. Not only that but it pings the map three times, and if you're in the same position firing for 3 shots the pings get consecutively smaller until they point out your exact position.
Paladin gets ~450 damage on a 12 second reload, during which it can relocate, making it very easy to be outputting its full damage without getting counterbatteried.
Compare this to the PzH2000 which gets ~250 a shot for 3 shots with 3 second interdrum and ~16 second drum reload.
It has to stay in position for 6 seconds to fully drum out during which an enemy can easily aim in all the way and drop shells on you (Paladin deals 750 if it HE pens which happens all too often against arty). This means that in order to avoid being counterbatteried the PzH 2000 must not utilize its full DPM effectively, while the Paladin can.
Also if you compare the stat cards the Paladin has more DPM in the first place.
A skill that would reduce pings on consecutive shots would be nice as it would make it more capable of utilizing the damage its given. Of course you would still be drawn while firing so the drawback is still there.
I think artillery commanders/crew skills should be centered around utilizing support shells and less about the actual damage anyway.

When are they gonna fix the bugged supply truck on Stormy Winter
When the fuck is Obshitian going to get off their ass and fix the fucking shot delay. Autocannons need to lead targets be a couple of times the tanks length at mid range sometimes. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
>>122049391
There's no way to fix the shot delay. It's either that or ghost shells, especially with autocannons.
When you fire in the client, the server just recieved the information that you are firing and then your shots start leaving the barrel.
If you make it so the shots synch up with the client (aka make both the action and the firing client side) then you'll experience tons of ghost shells. Since you'll be aiming at a target and it LOOKS like you're hitting them, but in reality your shells are only hitting the target client-side, you end up with a system worse than the current one.
Yeah, shot delay is in every match, but you can learn it and aim accordingly. You can't get around ghost shells in WoT when they're both client-side but the calculation is done server-side.
tl;dr: there's no way to fix it, get used to it

I'd rather have a ghost shell once in a blue moon than crippling shot delay on every fucking shot
If wargaming can manage to not have shot delay that's horribly egregious then there's no excuse for obsidian considering the horrible amount of propaganda they shovel into the forums
>>122049391
I've never noticed this.
Even knowing it exists, I don't notice it.
>>122050658
I'm not saying Obsidian themselves are faultless, they seriously need to patch up the netcode as I've seen plenty of teleporting tanks, random rubberbanding, and of course server stuttering.
Though keep in mind tanks move MUCH faster in AW so you have to lead more. And there's many more tanks that have salvos and those salvos are much bigger compared to WoT.
And all that means I personally would rather have a delay I could get used to than be given an all smiles client-side then told to fuck off when the server tells me half my autocannon salvo did nothing.
>>122050901
You didn't notice having to lead targets at point blank range? Or did you think that was normal? WoT ammo moves even slower and it's far far less leading involved even against LTs.
>>122051047
Haven't noticed.
If anything, some shots I'd expect to fall behind actually hit.
>>122051047
>WoT ammo moves even slower and it's far far less leading involved even against LTs.
Only at low tiers. At high tiers, AP shells fly only slightly slower or faster than AW's.
APCR almost always flies faster than AW's AP, HEAT almost always flies faster too. The main difference is tanks move slower in WoT meaning less leading is required and the average engagement range is also shorter in WoT.
As far as leading goes between both games, AW requires MUCH more of it than WoT does, so the only ghost shells you really see are against fast tanks at medium-long range while in AW you have the shot delay so your shells are consistently delayed across all ranges but means you won't see any ghost shells.
>>122051423
Except there are ghost shells in the game anyway.
>>122051423
Someone hasn't been playing AFVs I see
>>122051742
I'm not saying they don't exist, I've just never seen any cases of shells hitting the enemy client-side but not dealing any damage server-side.
>>122051906
I've never really experienced that. Might just be because I aim for the rear.
The most annoying thing I've seen happen is when 2 AFVs side hug while on the move and since they're aiming for each other at point blank but also moving, none of their shells hit each other.

The rest entirely depends on the tank. You want moving accuracy on brawlers, accuracy on anything that isn't a pure brawler, and aim time on both unless you're a brawler and already have really good moving acc. There's also to take in consideration that shots fired when the cannon isn't completely stabilized consistently puts the shells at the border of the dispersion circle.

I suggest playing it exclusively until you are finished with it. I find that playing good tanks like the germans or the soviets makes playing that tank even harder because you will have higher expectations. It also plays completely different than those, as its a slow piece of crap yet has no armor. So it drives like the T-64 and has to hide like the Leopard. Thankfully the gun has high alpha damage so you can maximize your hiding.
>>122068016
That is too general. Retrofits should be fitted based on a vehicles strengths. For scouts, view range and acceleration is pretty much mandatory.
For TDs, it's the same at least as far as t5.
For LTs, you want to not play them at all.
For MBTs, max out firepower as much as possible, doesn't really matter what you get after that apart from more HP.
SPGs just need firepower. Literally nothing else matters to them apart from maybe acceleration which you can't get because you need to use that universal slot for firepower.
>>122084848
The starship is maybe the best T4 MBT, no joke. You just have to be crazy careful about when you move out of cover.
>>122087414

I don't know about that mang. I do almost as much avarage damage in scouts as in mbts. Especially with atgms its retardedly easy to get 2k+ within the first 3-5 mins of the game in a scout.

OE claims that a m113 can destroy an e-00
https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/e-100-versus-m113-echoes-past
>>122089361
Sounds about right. Not only that the E100 couldn't spot the M113 while already being lit up lie a Christmas tree on their sensors, the firing systems are horribly inferior, too.
>>122003382
BWP-1M might be funny depending on which version you get. 25mm autocannon plus dual ATGMs and smoke launchers on a BMP-1 platform should be funny.
>>122089361
A cold war era vehicle could beat an impractical prototype designed 20 years before! In other news, water is wet.
>>122093968
They're basically just bullying wg at this point.
>>122094139
It's funny cause WG poked fun at OE first which pretty much gave AW free publicity. We can into marketing tovarish :)))))
>>122088326
Sheridan doesnt need high dpm when it has high alpha per shot. Just peek shoot and reload somewhere else. Easy as fuck to get high damage games

No, it happens out in the open without any environment interference. There's a webm someone here made showing an ATGM passing through another vehicle.
Is the M60A1 a breath of fresh air after the Starshit?
>>122104816
*A3
No.
>>122104816
it feels very average in every way
>>122105063
>average
Except for the lolnopen gun and weak damage. And thin armour. And slow speed.
>>122105213
still the best tier 5 mbt.
>>122105714
The T-72 would utterly shit on it if it weren't for the bugged turret.
>>122107564
i doubt it. assuming the turret is fixed the gun remains a piece of shit and it has the lfp weakness of all t-series tanks without the mobility of the t-80/t-90 to hide it effectively.
>>122107564
Bugged turret?

please help leo1s are ruining my pve
>>122107959
The gun isn't half bad, on paper the armor is as good as the T-64 and it's slightly more mobile than it.
>>122107978
The turret armor layout is bugged. Some spots take full damage from HE.
>>122108310

it isn't half bad when rng is in your favor. oe has their heads up their asses giving high alpha guns such fucking shit accuracy.
i ground the t-72 entirely in pvp (72a too) and the number one problem those two tanks have is consistency; which comes back to the gun and the armor.
>>122109143

At least I didn't lose a pve match, kukk
>>122109379
>grind this other shit to make the shit you're grinding less shit
this is what i did. if anything it says how inconsistent the 72/72a is.
as an aside, why do people prioritize pure damage over accuracy? reload has a cap and so does damage (in mercy rolls) so what is the point?
>>122110267
Accuracy isn't really an issue, shots seem to hit dead center most of the time if you're fully aimed in
>>122110267
That's more like turning that shit from average to the least shit in its tier.
>why do people prioritize pure damage over accuracy
People are retarded. You should've realized that by know if you lurked WoTg and took note of their completely goddamn awful choices of crew perks, such as prioritizing repairs on mediums, picking sixth sense when the commander is at 0%, bothering with BIA on anything that isn't an arty, etc.
>>122110453
>if you're fully aimed in
At long really long distances you get shots that stray off more often, not like the T-72 is supposed to snipe anyway.
>BMD-2 engine costs 640k

IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING
GOYTHUNDER IS FINISHED
WG CEOS ARE PROBABLY SMACKING THEIR TESTICLES
>>122112960
Why should we care?
>>122112960
Wait, didn't Gaijin make IL-2?
>>122112960
neat
>>122113151
Even more WG butthurt and damage control (also possibly in the form of patches and events) which will in turn force Obsidian/vatnik.ru to push shit out faster. In other words, it's really good news.
>>122113430
Fuck no, they only made Birds of Prey, which is console shit, and what Warthunder is based on.
IL-2 is/was developed by Oleg Maddox/1C, and now by the Rise of Flight folks.
>>122113679
Why would Obsidian be threatened by yet another WW2 tank game?
>>122112960
Wow, remember all those resounding financial success stories about full on tank combat simulators? I don't, because there are none.and it really fucking pisses me off
>>122114727
Because Wargaming will make efforts into trying not to lose a chunk of its playerbase, and Obsidian will have to make up for the more frequent WoT patches. Also if the previous stuff they made is anything to go by that'd be a sim.
>>122114942
I think that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Steel Beasts was ridiculously expensive. Moreover this will definitely have a seizable playerbase, thanks to "WW2 tank culture" and hopefully the fact it won't be freemium shite.
To clarify:
Improving Minimum Accuracy makes you be aimed in a little at all times, i.e. the same as the Vert. Stab. upgrade in WoT.
Improving Maximum Accuracy improves the accuracy of your shells when you are fully aimed in.
Correct?
>>122117386
Improving minimum accuracy means your circle is a little smaller at its widest. Improving maximum accuracy means your circle is a little smaller at its smallest.
devs are aware that the descriptions suck and will maybe someday fix them

No, it isn't. A dev confirmed.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
BMP-1 WR: >60% at 30-ish games
BMP-1P WR: 0% after 5-ish games
>>122122725
Losing streaks. The BMP-1P is pretty good, trust me.
>>122122725
BMP-1P is not a very good Tier 4. The missile launcher is nice but it s stil fuckhueg with 0 gun depression.
Get the BMD-1 instead.
>whole team except me lemming trains it down one flank

>>122133975
Also, they are removing the turret window weakspot. So you either hit the driver window or the cupola for reduced damage.
>>122134550
I find small weakspots incredibly hard to hit
what am I doing wrong
I'm reasonably good at FPS games and can reliably get headshots but for some reason I can't hit driver hatches and such in AW
>>122134550
Oh, and they are apparently strengthening the driver weakspot and giving it more health. Fuck you balance, enjoy your invincible mbts that even drooling retards can play effectively.
>>122134936
Let your sight zoom in all the way, wait for them to stop moving because shot delay fucks you otherwise, and then cross your fingers.
If they don't reevaluate t6+ MBT armor asap, this game is going to get really old, really fast. But they decided to keep on chugging into t9/t10 before sorting this shit out, so it's probably never going to happen.
>>122134936
calculate the shell traveling time
>>122111170
not worth buying
>>122134936
don't aim for weakspots.
instead; play a maneuverable tank with high penetration/alpha and flank.
