Is there a secret consensus on simulator hours?
Somedays I'll find matches in less than 5 minutes, others I'll be on queue for 20 and nothing will happen
>>147857535
The queing system is really shit when it's dealing with low numbers of players, I think it just gives up sometimes.
I find if I'm waiting for more than 5 minutes requeuing will find a match faster than just leaving it to wait forever.
>>147857535
GF sim?
If it's Clap,Teeb,Nazi vs Soviets the queue times are long as fuck because soviets refuse to play them
If it's Clap,Teeb,Soviet vs Nazi the queue times are anywhere from 1-5minutes usually
In EC for planes it depends on the BR rank, some of them are just dead.

Should I just use HESH against king tigers and panthers when facing them frontal in my Cent Mk 10?
The APDS pen drops off dramatically ude tot heir frontal slope.
Shooting the cheek only kills the gunner and cannon sometimes, lower plate only kills transmission most of the time.
HESH at about the same angle says it'll basically have more pen than my APDS.

>Because it's really easy to see behind the tank you are driving in War Thunder and really hard to see behind the tank you are driving in real life.
they could make it possible with a some kind of rear view mirror, and then, when you just moved ahead you vaguelly remember what was behind... and somebody can peek from a hatch or something
>Additionally, tanks in real life aren't restricted to a space that they can drive across in under five minutes, and they don't usually engage swarms of enemy tanks at ranges of less than a kilometer. As a result, accelerating forward & turning usually makes more sense as a defensive maneuver than going backwards - a fast moving target moving laterally is much less likely to be hit than a target slowly crawling backwards.
even then, when you turn your side and then back you basically show them your most lewd spots which are easy to penetrate instead of crawling behind the obstacle while being shielded by the thickest armor... it's not even the case unique to warthunder, some battleships in wows sometimes prefer to move in reverse not to show their boardside which greatly increases the chance of citadel penetration
i think it could be used irl too in some situations
What did they mean by this?
How are you enjoying the new event?
>>147881254
Tanks irl were instructed to retreat driving backwards just for that reason.

How are attackers even a thing in this game? It feels like they have no place and fighters can just rekt them and even do better then them at ground attack
>>147886270
>How
Because Gaijin wanted to fill out their list of planes
>It feels like they have no place
They generally don't if you're in allied planes which perform the duty of an attacker infinitely better.
>>147885984

>>147881254
>>147882140
>>147882729
>>147886081
Basically all NATO tanks nowadays have actually better acceleration when reversing because the plan was to fight from a dug in position, once that got overrun, reverse back to the next, and repeat until they pushed you into the atlantic or the slavs ran out of tanks
>>147886962

>>147888623
T-44-100 only got added recently, T-54 has been ingame for years. Of course you could've unlocked the T-54 before the T-44-100.
this tank will honestly get me to play this game again
>>147888853
The one we have handles shittily enough. That much extra weight on the front suspension would be unbearable.
>>147889134
but that's countered by the BEEG GUN
>>147889206
I bet it'd take a full minute for the gunner to lift that thing
>>147889496
desu it probably didn't weigh that much more than the original ML-20 152mm, it was "only" 3 and a half metres longer.
>T25 is still 6.0

Who here /sort of want, but not enough to grind/?
>>147891552
was this supposed to be impressive?>>147891552
>>147891552
Was any kind of add-armour worthwhile in reality during WWII?
>>147891845
No
Most actually made the effective armour worse because concrete, rubber, sand etc allowed the shell to normalise better.
Exception being the Shermans in Europe pulling bits of Panthers and Panzers off and sticking them on their tanks, that's just outright extra armour
>>147892041
This is literally completely wrong
Are you shitposting?
>>147892571
Concrete is spaced armor now?
How to jet combat?
Recently unlocked the Meteor, MiG-9, P-80 and He-162.
>>147892571
you'd need fucking thick spaced armour to detonate APHE, and spaced armour often helped the HEAT jet form even more effectively. That's why modern HEAT rounds have standoffs on the tip.
Sandbags and tracks would make the round MORE likely to penetrate in a lot of cases, not less likely. The round had more time to normalise against the target by the extra rubber, sand or concrete. It's also going to do nothing against a HEAT round either.
>>147892815
Concrete was one of the most used kinds of add-on armor, and sandbags weren't much better.
>>147892925
>Meteor, MiG-9, P-80
Go fast, stay fast, roll hard if someone gets on your tail.
>He-162
Don't.
>>147893124
>he thinks HEAT literally means heat
wew yourself, lad
>>147893124
>spaced aroured which cased the jet to cool, would allow it to penetrate more effectivly
Modern HEAT rounds LITERALLY have a pole stuck to the tip of them to give them extra distance for the HEAT jet to form, how much more obvious does it have to get before it penetrates you retardation?
>>147893158
Right oh, is there a universally accepted method of climbing in jets?
>Don't
That bad huh?
>>147893410
>>147893526
>he thinks the heat of the copper is what makes it penetrate
This is some pleb tier ignorance
>>147893410
>the Munroe Effect worked differently 70 years ago
>>147893423
Usually you want to climb at just above 500 km/h, iirc.
>>147893241
>>147893124
>>147893410
Modern HEAT rounds have this thing called a STANDOFF at the tip of them. This was due to experience with WW2 HEAT shells demonstrating that detonating the warhead before it actually came in contact with the armour gave the copper jet more time to properly form, aiding in penetration.
You utter fucking retard
>>147893636
>>147893662
>gets told
>hurr durr ur dum
Nice retort, moron. The idea that HEAT rounds work by melting through armor is a common misconception.
>>147894007
>>147893956
>oh noes there's discussion relevant to the game going on
>better start shitposting so they remember about us TS aspies!
God knows you've got nothing useful to contribute about the game.
@147894083
No (you)s for whining about thread culture.
Jesus, you guys are still at it with this shit?
At least come up with some new images, you're posting the same garbage from half a year ago.
>someone starts losing an argument
>ts aspie shitposting commences
hmmm..
>>147894246
Alright lad, what would you like? I can dump a porn doujin if you want.
if spaced armor would increase the effectiveness of a heat round by simulating a standoff, then why does the game say it is designed for negating HEAT rounds?
>>147894385
I don't really care, I seldom come here anymore. I'm just astonished that you still have the drive to continue on with posting the same shit day in and day out for such a long time without any variation whatsoever.
>>147894340
DEFINITELY no connection there, we know that the TS aspies must have so much discussion and are so knowledgable themselves that they'd never be under the impression that HEAT penetrates with heat and that standoffs don't apply to WW2 rounds
>>147894340
>surely it is le epin ts aspies at it again!
>only helmet is online
Really makes you think.
>>147894547
Concrete armour was supposed to give a tank additional armour, turns out it worsened it
People are wrong sometimes
>>147894547
It was, but people didn't understand the effect properly for decades, so they sometimes hurt themselves more than helped.
>>147894662
but in-game it works, right? Like, it actually negates HEAT?
>>147894547
Because Gaijin is, surprise surprise, wrong.
>>147894849
Has anyone ever brought this to their attention? Have they responded to such a post?
>>147894775
Debatable. I've seen more than a few killcams of T-44-100 or Pz IV H having HEAT go straight through their skirts and into the hull no problem.
>>147894845
Wow I don't think I can't even get angry after that, you're just plain pathetic. Like the image of some neckbeard sitting at work wondering whether he should vape, but instead decides to post porn onto a general for a Russian free to play videogame, just really makes it lose it's effectiveness
is anyone else a part of the low class filth that inhales the reefer
when?
>>147894775
No, not really. The stream doesn't dissipate like it's supposed to, so it just does its best APDS impression.
>>147895447

I think the Abrams literally has over a metre RHA equivalent with chobham armour
Sounds pretty balanced to me
>>147896554
That's against HEAT right? Less than that against APFSDS.
>>147896613
Yeah, composite is more vulnerable to KE penetrators than HEAT, but is still better than plain RHA.
No real idea though, considering that both Chobham armour effectiveness and Russian 125mm APFSDS penetration data are all top secret.
>>147896786
it's a shame the whole world aren't friends so there would be less secrets and there could be more realistic modern tank games
>>147896856
Well if that were the case we wouldn't have tanks, and so we wouldn't have modern tank games in the first place.

Fun, if you are good at flanking and avoiding getting spotted, trash if you are another stupid slav that relies on his armour to bounce everything and tries to brawl everything. Considering the fact it got a lower BR a few days after I spaded it (two days after its release), it may be a problem for an average slashing to get used to it after wrecking shit with T-34s. Overall a fun vehicle, speed isn't anything special until you get new transmission and engine, but can be a little rocket afterwards. Gun is ok too, you'll pen everything with stock ammo with ease, don't even need APHE, but it has more pen, so might as well. Armour is shit, don't get hit by anything. You are so low even sub-50cal MGs will kill your crew. Also one of the rare vehicles that will die to a plane ramming you, if they don't have literally any guns. If they do, you're dead. Flank, don't get hit or spotted. Kill the enemy with average of two shots (no absolute nukes like slav 76mm APHE). Nothing special, but fun

good example are early TOW missiles. TOW and ITOW use same warhead, but standoff probe increases effective penetration of ITOW by nearly 50%, from 430mm to 630mm

It can kill most things but you'll get uptiered to 9.0. Play careful and don't try to fight Lavochins.
