As a Tu-4 player, dead ahead and not in a direct line.
There is no actual deadzone, because tilting it off with a shallow dive is ridiculously easy, but direct front and whatever the fuck you do do not fly in a straight line unless you like being sniped over 1 km away.
>>
>>148456063

There's your mistake. Arcade is cancer and there will always be some slavic nigger 420noscoping you because of the lax flightmodel.

And that's it for this photoset-OH WAIT LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE RESTORATION HANGAR!

B-26B-26-MA Marauder "Flak Bait". This plane survived 207 operational missions, more than ANY other American aircraft in WW2 (beat out only by a Mosquito). Built in Baltimore (where I live) so it has hometown appeal.

Nicknamed because its first captain had a dog by the name of "Flea Bait", and he had a sick sense of humor.

It's slow as shit, though, and by the time postwar heat's showing up in abundance mobility dramatically overtakes armour.

Massive, sweeping and otherwise complete corporate changes. Fire every slav in the entire company from the lowest to the higher ups on the totem pole. Replace with people that have a degree of competency and the capacity to take criticism and engage properly and articulately with the remaining user base.

After expunging the nationalistic cancer, severe and considerable rebalancing of tanks and planes(actual and correct fucking flights models to start), with slav UFO's and Backyard Playset bouncehouses getting the nerf bat hard. Follow that up with the naziboo ufo's getting proper uptiering and tweaks to make them more in line.

Improve SL and RP pay-outs post match. While there still has to be a grind, it doesn't have to be a laborious and tiresome chore like it presently is. Further this point with legitimate and real incentivization on playing the fucking objectives. Shitters, cowards, campers and otherwise burdens in general would face SL/RP penalties and bans for pissing away matches, facerolling like retards and feeding free frags and caps to the other team. The casual and reddit cancer needs to go.

Lastly and most importantly, the complete and total IP range bans for the entire South American continent and Russia at large.

The game's not doing too bad, honestly. The main thing that would get me playing more is making the grind less insane; tank RB needs to be boosted like plane RB was, and high tier tanks and modules for all vehicles at high tier need a dramatic RP drop. Parts and FPE should be basic for all tanks.

Some vehicles need rebalancing; I'm only really confident on tanks, here, but I can point to the sherman line as badly overtiered.

Let's work through this. What nation do you play? Germany has many competitive options in the tier that can deal with them frontally now, while the UK's guns are solid, though their lack of explosive filler is sometimes a pain. America struggles a bit, but they have the height and gun depression to really abuse hull-down, the one really massive weakness of the T-34.

Remember, blaming the game is just refusing a chance to learn.
>>
>>148478182
The Pz IV G is really owning at it's new BR. 500m and the T-34 can't pen, if you can get a bit of front angle on it might even have trouble at 100. Meanwhile you can just go straight through at any range. Only downside is still being slow as arse.

Most of being good in tanks is hiding behind rocks and shooting people in the side or arse anyway. How a tank performs head-on isn't irrelevant but if you're in a short-range slugging match you probably goofed somewhere. It's why tanks like the hellcat, bulldog and cromwell/comet are some of the best in the game.
>>
>>148479118
What tank would you recommend for each tier you have so far?

As I see it, I have the choice of slow, medium armor, mediocre gun, OR average speed, bullet proof(?) armor, and the same gun as the other option.

Hell, even the 17pdr starts to lose it's luster when you're sitting across from a Tiger II.

>>148478956

>>
>>148479394
In general >>148479331 is correct, you want to be faster in virtually all situations. This is not primarily because you need to hit sides to penetrate, the brit guns are generally good to great for-tier, but because if you ambush someone from the side it'll usually mean you get a shot or two off before they're in a position to return fire (brit high-RoF is wonderful here). If you took out their gunner and engine, or traverse, or something equally major in those shots, they're fucked. You do need to try and remember where crew sit, though, given solid shot is just a laser-beam.

That said, the second churchill (VII?) is a great comedy option, given that unless it's facing tigers/panthers there shouldn't be anything that can frontpen it on the battlefield except on a tiny MG slot you can angle away. If you have people you can trust it can be tactically effective to serve as a durable distraction while they flank, but it's also just fun as hell to advance slowly and bounce everything.

Matilda is the other infantry tank I would recommend for -20* gun depression. It's insane and can hull-down anywhere. The armour's not bulletproof, but sat behind a ridge with a sliver of gun poking out it might as well be.

In general, cruiser line, flank, but those two are probably the ones I've had the most fun in just because they're annoying as hell. And to be honest, yeah, the 17pdr is a bit disappointing. It's only really worthwhile with sabot.

To actually answer:

Tier I- A13 Cruiser, Crusader, Tetrach

Tier III- Not a great rank, Comet is good, Challenger is a really shitty advance on it.
Tier IV- Centurion time, party hard, though your entire playstyle changes from gofast to being tacticool as fuck. Charioteer to relive gofast glory days.

>>148480967
Comet is a fantastic tank if you can hit first every time. In one on one engagements it might be one of the best tanks in the game because the first shot will almost always pen and disable, and then you can kill it at your leisure.

>>148481004
Damn shame. What would you print? I've never had any need but my unis printers are free to use if you have material.
>>
>>148481179
And APDS muzzle velocity will help you a lot with that first hit, too. Sabot also seems to fuck up everything in a cone around it, too, unlike solid shot that kills whatever you hit directly and turns things hugging the primary target yellow. It's also got good speed, so you can avoid H2H in the first place. All-round an excellent tank.

I think Britain's tank designs are so funny looking because they knew that war was uncomfortable, inconvenient, and sort of like camping, but with a gun in your hands all the time. You're probably aware that while WWII was very bloody and violent, MOST of our soldiers were behind the front line, just holding towns and bases. Scouting.

So Britain designed everything to be as comfortable as possible for the extended shooty camping trip.

Just look at the Churchill.

So does Gaijin censor the swastikas that are typically found on German planes?

Is the Stuka's tail SUPPOSED to have an "X", or is that a clipped swastika?

>similar to in the pic, except the outer lines of the swastika are gone

Clipped swastika. Germany doesn't consider games works of art or of historical value, so the prohibition on use of nazi iconography still applies.

censorship
they also censor the finnish swastika, which has absolutely zero connection to the nazi one. The finns adopted it before the nazis.

>>148485908
also finns were allies of nazi germany just accidentally, i swear
>>
>>148486274
no, that absolutely happened, and it was most definitely the correct choice at the time.
the finns had the swastika both before the alliance and before nazis adopted the swastika, though. I don't think they're required by law to censor the finnish swastika, as they are with the nazi one.

not to mention the slavs were also sitting in a tree with the nazis for a while, but that's not the same thing, right?
>>
>>148486609
yeah because they weren't allies but merely had a non-aggression pact

The german authorities can prosecute any use of a hate symbol or symbol close enough to be mistaken for one, except if used in an appropriate non-nationalist context (here meaning "religion or personal signs predating the nazis", not "nationalist for a different nation") except if used as part of historic context for educational or artistic purposes. Germany doesn't consider games art and I'm sure "I'm a finnish nationalist, not a german nationalist" isn't going to hold up if they get shirty about it.
