Uninstalled it a while a ago, have they fixed all the broken FMs? Is bomber cockpit view in yet?
You know, I thought urban maps for tanks would be pretty cool. But then I played on Berlin and decided that urban maps fucking suck and I'd take fields and hills over them any day.
>>121516873
Except Berlin IS a field-and-hill map, retard. Having a handful of buildings over to the side is virtually no different from the rock/trench/hill/castle formation you see on all the field maps.
>>121516873
Urban maps are the best right now because spotting is fucked on non-flat surfaces
>>121517174
In that case it was the other city. Can't remember the name, but the one with the big cathedral type building.
>>121516853
>have they fixed all the broken FMs?
Yes, most of them were fixed, only ones left are the N1K's without any FM, Griffon spits missing 150 octane and Cannon Bearcat melting in 30 seconds.
>Is bomber cockpit view in yet?
No, only a few bombers received cockpit view.
>>121516873
Berlin is shit. Either get Poland or Eastern Europe, both are great. not sure about the new maps, but I think they are both urban too
>>121517351

Is Pengie your fursona lol fag

>>121518407
When you compare it to the griffons, it seems balanced.
>>121519091
I've heard that the Griffons actually fly more or less how they should be flying, which raises and interesting question: if they were just that fucking good, how do you balance them? The only things higher than their BR are jet fighters which outclass them heavily, and artificially nerfing a plane just kind of feels wrong.

>if they were just that fucking good
That fucking good at what?
The thing is, Griffon spits are really well suited for the kind of combat you see in War Thunder. That's not to say other aircraft of the era had nothing on it, you just don't see the strengths of those aircraft in this game.
>>121521190
Nope, they are currently in process of banning people that did it anyway, but you're welcome to try
>>121520948
Mk XII production only started in october 42 iirc and only 100 were made.
Mk XIV started appearing late 43 and there were only 900 something.
The only other non-post war Griffons had only 300 something made.
>>121521919
And I hate using this phrase, but that's not nearly enough to "win the war."
Compare that to the numbers of US aircraft manufactured during the war.
I'm honestly of the opinion that the US wasn't totally concerned with making "the best of the best" fighters.
>total shitter crashes on landing
>he acts like he has room to critique other people

>>121522239
It's not enough to win the war, but it was certainly enough to shit all over what was left of the Luftwaffe in the British-controlled areas and the V1 program.

>>121522458
>tfw this is the only vaguely modern-styled jet we will get
tfw not banned
>>121522504
Not even comparing their high alt vs low alt performance, think about how close airfields are to each other in this game. That gives a huge advantage to the plane with the higher climb rate, they might find their opponent and kill them before they reach the altitude they want to fight at.

>>121524047
They probably banned the biggest badgoys and anybody who was spamming chat about it I guess. There are several things that make this situation absolutely perfect.
1. small family company
2. patch day, programmers are exhausted
3. almost the weekend, no one wants to start a project
4. A LOT of people were doing it, but there was also a significant amount of people playing normally
5. "let's keep this quiet so the goy don't rebel"
Was GF damage increased in 1.53?
I'm seeing a lot of one shot kills from all sides.

I've mostly flown the T-bolt since the patch hit.
You'd think a plane that dives that fast would be at extreme risk of blackouts. But I haven't. All the spitfires on my team were dying to zeroes due to blackouts and I was mopping up the mess.
I'm not sure if I have my play style to thank for that, or the fact that my crew skill for G-tolerance is 3 and I get +3 from expert P-47D qualification. Might be both.

I did it in a single arcade game. After they had patched it out. I got 700 RP for crashing five bombers, then I played about a dozen tank games.
I'll be unbanned tomorrow around 3 PM EST.
I just wanted to see what it was like. I wouldn't even be mad if most of the people who got several hundred thousand RP out of it went untouched.
I'm honestly regretting buying a year of premium during the sale.

The only enjoyable parts of War Thunder for me were realistic battles or simulator where me and my small squadron would fly around and maybe not even see anyone. We'd just shoot the shit and fly around and look for the enemy.
I enjoy the lulls in combat. They make the combat actually interesting.
>>121529863
It's almost like realism in video games is inherently boring.
>>121530161
>I enjoy the lulls in combat.
It's not a lull in the combat if 99% of your time playing is a lull. It's a tiny bit of combat in a sea of lull.

>>121528387
Warthunder will never, ever be a simulator for air. The thing is, when they do stuff like nerf saber roll rate or buff something stats, it's no longer a sim. They can't make stats shit up willy nillie and claim it's accruate
>>121530679
>Americans suffer the most
Because you american pilots are fucking retards. I take out the P47 constantly and have major success. The F6F hellcat is also fucking amazing. And the bearcat is just an unbelievable prop. It dives at 700kmh + and can turn like a zero at times. Yet you faggots cannot work with these amazing planes.
>>121531297
They only do amazing because they're undertiered greatly because of shit faced pilots.
The map design still favours a low alt fighter over the p-51 or p-47
If there were missions where you had to escort B-17s at 21k feet the P-47 would be much stronger than any yak-3.
>>121531267
The inherent problem is that people want accurate vehicles facing historical opponents when some vehicles are just plain better than what they faced.
A locust has no business fighting other Arab-Israeli War tanks despite the fact that it did serve in that war.

Are 50kg bombs useful for ANYTHING at all?
>Test flight has one single soft target, or multiple soft targets and a bunch of ships if you're clapper or britbong

>>121531756
>This is where events could come in handy, but gaijin are lazy shits for events
Events or well-designed game modes would 100% fix virtually every problem with the game.
Arcade, Realistic, and Simulator are all absolute shit. Gaijin needs to hire someone with even the most basic grasp on game design, because this is embarrassing. I'm hoping the fucking esports mode ends up being at least mildly thought out.
>>121532051

>>121532051

>>121532378

>>121532128
>fuse meme
The delay's been twice as long in Arcade since day one. And you regularly get multikills with it.
You know, the game mode where planes spawn in with a giant red marker permanently stuck on them, where rolling SPAA is not only viable but expected for at least a quarter of your team, where the game forces you to lead your shots, and where you literally cannot use a plane tactfully since you have less than thirty seconds to use it.
What you're saying is that you're more incompetent than an arcade shitter despite having a much more favorable environment.
Can the Tiger or panther(s) pen the Black Prince from the front? I haven't used my Tiger or Panthers to face them yet.

If you suck dick at little bombs, don't use them.
>>121532542
At close range.
It can angle at about 45 degrees, though.
So I guess it's evident now just how bullshit Ground Forces is and how it's designed for Soviet vehicles to excel.
The fucked up MM, the poor zoom/ view ranges that force most engagements to close range. Where, surprise surprise, Soviet tanks do the best and things like Tigers cannot sit at stand-off ranges.
Was almost considering updating and playing this again. But then I see stuff like that, plus how Gaijin is prioritizing premium vehicles and cosmetic things over fixing the flaws that run deep throughout the game.
How pathetic.

>>121534284
Black Prince won't.
Firefly Ic won't, either. As far as I can tell, it is better than Vc.
>>121534438
Not much.

I don't know what they make.
Couldn't Gaijin have just re-textured the Stuart, Grant, Chaffee, and Locust to pad out the British tree until they had actual UK Models?
>>121534781
DCS and IL-2 respectively
>>121534973
Chaffee wasn't used by Britain.

Why exactly do tanks get spawn protection after having moved and fired?

The GLOC thing's annoying, but it's kind of handy in today's SB event which is mainly Spit aces panicking and GLOC'ing themselves when confronted by Zeroes. Hopefully I can spade a couple of the T3 Zeroes this way
