After months, decided to give this game a chance again, to finnaly try to get my Pattons. When i first played last year with US tanks, once i got the pershing, i was in heaven. Then came the nerf hammer, and you had in arcade battles, a pershing and 2 M4A3E8 and E2 shermans to fight 3 fucking king tigers and OP soviet tanks


Now things improved, a bit, as you now have tanks like T25 and T26E1 at 6.0 and 6.7.

Well the grind towards the pattons is at least do-able now. Fighting king tigers is difficult but rewarding. Its a fair fight, everytime. EVen tough as US, you are in the disadvantage.
Fighting soviet tanks on the other hand, well, you know the bias. No other nation tanks have such many random richochets...And well, the mighty 90mm M82 shell, wich was nerfed to 130 grammes filler, despite it being 200...Well i need much more shots with it.

Yet my Pershing has died alot to one shots by Soviet tank guns, even the 85mm gun.


100 000 RP points till the M46 patton. Patton tanks are my favorite cold war tanks. From the M46 to the M60.We'll see what they can do vs Stalium T54's...but i fear a painfull battle ahead

The 8,8-cm-PaK 43/1 (L/71) on chassis III/IV (Sf) 'Nashorn' is really the worst pain you can encounter in War Thunder. I don't know how many battles I ended without a single kill. The upper structure got these unbelievably low 5 cm of armor, causing even machine gun fire to decimate your crewmen with ease. And the reload of the gun is just exorbitant. Either you kill somebody with one shot in a duell, or you're dead.

In the end you should avoid all contacts below 900 meters, in order not to get penetrated. That would be OK, as the gun has still a great penetration at 2000 meters. The maps are just not that big. And on top of that, the gun comes with the standard gunsight used on all german vehicles. The standard gunsight is not suitable to target opposing enemies at a range of 900 meters properly. The magnification is simply not big enough. It is very unlikely, that germans would have equipped their tanks with an insufficient magnification not allowing to make proper use of the gun equipped.

Horrid fun killer.

Today I killed my largest aircraft, a FW-200, while flying a Mig-3-15. The battle occurred on high altitude. It took me 3 minutes to catch up, and then I unloaded my ammunition. I think I killed several gunners and disabled an engine. My ammunition ran out and I waited to reload. After I reloaded, I shot off a flap and then the plane went down. I then opened fire and destroyed the tail section of the plane. It crashed and I got a "Rank does not Matter" award. Bias or luck?

Had a few games yesterday after a very long break (ragequit because two Tiger Is), and I sucked big time with the Tiger I (MM decided to fuck me up aswell). Went back to the good old PzIV G and it was fun all over again.

Still, I don't like that they added tanks like the PT-76, Ru251... sure they're a somewhat fine addition to the game but it doesn't feel right, I dunno, I always had WT as "that WW2 tank game".

Grinding is a pain in the ass.


Any words on the Japanese tank tree?, it seems quite awful till the postwar era tanks.

This is why I quit playing. For someone who doesn't play all that often it takes ages to get the higher levels. I played quite a bit imo and never got past the Panther II and Tiger II. Same for the US line at the Pershing.

It crashed and I got a "Rank does not Matter" award. Bias or luck?

Both. I think you were lucky, maybe the player had other skills trained than useful. Though the FW-200 got no great armament. Compared to its size and its tier(fighting value), it is no fortress. The advantage of the FW-200 is its speed. You can easily travel at 500 mph horizontally without speed loss, making it very hard to catch up for enemy fighters.

The Mig-3-15 on the other side is totally biased. I hate it. Whenever I face it, I'm dead. Accordingly: bias.

I'm also doing dedicated sorties on enemy bombers at high altitude exclusively, but I prefer 2-engined destroyers like the Me 110 or the Junkers 88 for those tasks. Indeed it is very dangerous to aproach high skilled bombers with single-engine. Once you caught up, it depends on the crew skills of the bomber. My bombers got 6 skilled gunners, having a very high accuracy that is almost maximized, while running on low tier airplanes at a fighting value of about 3. I deliver a constant stream of lead on distances of 0.88km and below. I get those 'rank does not matter' awards very often. And I regularily down fighters with my bombers. My favourite bomber is the Heinkel He 111 H6 with 7x 7,92mm. The guns aren't very strong, but still devastating on its tier. I love diving into groups of fighter planes circulating on low altitude while in close combat. I create some mess, and then I go off to high altitude again. Gets me a lot of assists and sometimes a kill.

I unlocked the Mig-3-15 BK and somehow, shot down a FW-190 at LOW altitude. Unfortunately, I was shot down by a Bf-109 later. But this is still bias.

Well if you have the plane in your crosshairs, a mig 3 can even shoot down an ME 262

I've started grinding the British tanks. For a guy who stopped at Tiger I back when there were no flakbus, Ru251 and PT-76 bullshit, I find them incredibly hard to use.

The early tanks are fine, the lack of explosive filler in the 2pdr makes them extra hard to use, the crew layout makes them super vulnerable to PzIV's 75mm and magic Soviet shells aswell and the armor blows.

I managed to get past the 2pdrs (mixed feelings) to the bigger 6pdr on the Crusader Mk III and the 75mm on the Valentine Mk IX and Cromwell Mk V.  The Crusader is the one I find most comfortable with, the Valentine is a big meh (slow as fuck and armor is worth nothing against PzIV F2 and StuG III F) and the Cromwell, oh boy.

It's a fantastic flanker?, yes, but if you dont one-shot you're dead, if you get spotted. That reverse speed drives me INSANE.

Good thing about this game is that I don't have to play X tank to grind, I might just play the Crommie V/I to unlock everything at Rank 2, skipping the Valentine Mk XI and Churchill Gun Carrier and just play the Churchill and Archer (maybe).
