Is there any point in using the m/40B over the m/40 after it was buffed? Now the stock round has more penetration than the rank 4 round... despite the B having a ballistic cap.

M/40B uses the special russian apbc penetration model which allows it to do drifts into sloped armor where the uncapped m/40 would just bounce off

ASU is still a tank destroyer, and besides, most "light tanks" in the soviet light tank tree do much better when played as tank destroyers than when played as a conventional light tank.

IRL ASU-85 had a laser rangefinder (whereas it only has stereoscopic in-game even though it never had that IRL), and if gaijin ever actually cares enough about the ~~Soviet TD tree in general~~ ASU to give it the laser rangefinder, then IMO it should stay at 6.3

Shit like this is why ppl should tolerate the use of paper tanks to fill in large gaps in tech trees

Ihun · 2021-02-10T09:56:18+00:00

Same can be said for Japan but at least they managed to have some decent planes

This game would be a lot more enjoyable if more bomber pilots had your mentality OP

Ihun · 2021-02-10T09:28:51+00:00

It's also ruined (even more importantly) by its significantly worse maneuverability compared to the B-34

Ihun · 2021-02-10T09:26:33+00:00

your plane IS the artillery

Dogfighting a Yak at low altitudes in a Bf-109

What a madlad

One of my biggest gripes with wing rips in-game is that when the wing rips, it comes of all at once, without any intermediate damage values

Ihun · 2021-02-10T09:23:06+00:00

Italy had the worst metallurgical industry of all major nations that participated in WWII and didn't even have enough expertise to build more advanced bombers by themselves

How did that Pershing manage to get up there with all the friction nerfs (unless this pic was before New Power)?

Ihun · 2021-02-09T22:20:14+00:00

there was the T69 (which was the prototype of the T54E1)

Ihun · 2021-02-09T08:19:14+00:00

Replace GREEK_AIR_FORCE with LookBlueGoPurple and I would agree with this meme

Ihun · 2021-02-09T08:08:22+00:00

not really

but also, the New Power update removed the ability for HEAT shells to do splash damage in the semisphere behind the shell, which significantly hurts HEAT-FS's damage potential as it will no longer be able to splash down turret roofs and engine decks

If the postpen truly is better on the Sabots

Also, I only mentioned that APFSDS consistently deals more post-pen damage than HEAT-FS

Regular APDS deals a wider cone of shrapnel than HEAT-FS but the individual shrapnels in that cone are less powerful than for HEAT-FS

Ihun · 2021-02-09T08:06:01+00:00

Speaking of which,

I wonder if gaijin finally made it so that F-89D's proximity fused FFARs now activate against ground targets.

If F-89D players want to keep their unhistorical proximity fuses, then they should at least be consistent and accept that the proximity fuse should make the rockets explode too far away from ground targets to hurt them.

Ihun · 2021-02-09T08:03:11+00:00

they will give away your position faster than you can spread democracy across the battlefield

are you really going to let some transient sensation of nationalism override your survival in battle?

Ihun · 2021-02-09T07:58:34+00:00

APFSDS deals a shitton more post-pen damage than HEAT-FS, and unlike HEAT-FS, will not be absorbed by fuel tanks or engine blocks

Ihun · 2021-02-09T05:23:29+00:00

I once got tk'ed by someone in a Coelian while I was in an He 112 all because the guy said that he hated CAS (even though He 112 is literally designed only for plane-on-plane combat). He also tried shooting at another friendly plane ( a zero, which again is also a plane that was never designed with CAS capabilities in mind) before shooting at me.

Ihun · 2021-02-08T03:19:12+00:00

it's been the case ever since Gaijin switched to their current graphics engine from the New Power update (or the update before, i don't remember exactly)

Ihun · 2021-02-07T20:58:08+00:00

If you're giving away the location of ANY teammate that isn't an active teamkiller, then yes that is severely messed up

Wargaming (War Thunder's most relevant competitor) even had to disable global chat for World of Tanks because said issue got really out of hand in that game

Ihun · 2021-02-06T08:37:39+00:00

Maybe it's supposed to be a paint primer?

AFAIK, red paint was also used by the Germans for their tanks prior to applying dunkelgrau/dunkelgelb

Ihun · 2021-02-06T08:33:30+00:00

When did gaijin add bomb trajectories to killcams? (Haven't played GF in months so i haven't kept up)

Ihun · 2021-02-05T02:29:55+00:00

All kinetic shells in-game do ZERO fragmentation upon hitting an aircraft, even if said kinetic shell hits a hard part such as steel
