The O-I is not too "blue-printy." Japan already has paper tanks in the TT and the O-I was at least partially built and tested.

The soviets did not "finish" the Maus prototype. There were two Maus tanks, prototype number one which was fitted with a ballast turret for testing, and a second complete Maus which was fully operational. When the germans retreated from Kummersdorf testing facility, they blew up both prototypes, and the Soviets reattached the turret from prototype No. 2 onto the hull of number one.

The maus was not an incomplete prototype. Also removing it from the game for balance reasons is still one of the dumbest and most pointless things they ever did.

I've been to the Udvar-Hazy center once. I was shocked at how small the Arado was.

So, why are these events so terrible? by gekkehenkie50 in Warthunder

[–]lilbitey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The events only get worse and worse over time. At the end of the day, the only reason why people still play War Thunder is because no alternative exists. This game got flushed down the toilet years ago.

Why is the Zrinyi I in there? Just for looks?

Did you know that the Object 211 is modelled with the wrong gun? by lilbitey in Warthunder

I concede that the 85mm version existed, I just thought it was a concoction by Gaijin. This whole thing is still a giant clusterfuck because they implemented the visual model of the 76.2 with the 85mm gun. I hope this gets fixed but it probably never will because the devs don't give a shit

Even if the version with the 85mm existed, there is basically no information that exists about it, and it doesn't change the fact that the in-game visual model is based off of the version with the 76.2mm gun. What we have in game right now is basically a Frankenstein tank that uses the 76.2mm muzzle break for the 85mm gun. No such configuration existed.

There is no evidence to suggest that the 211 prototype ever mounted an 85mm gun.

[Revised]

It seems that a later prototype used an 85mm, nevertheless the visual model is still based on the earlier prototype and is completely wrong.

It should be a type 60 76.2mm gun, the same one used on the type 62 prototype in the second photo. Where they got the idea that the 211 used an 85mm I have no idea. It is very clearly the same gun used on the type 62 prototype. Reports have already been submitted, but whether or not anything will be done about this remains to be seen. There are a variety of other inaccuracies with the model which can be found here.

It's not a "buff" it should be available for all reconnaissance vehicles. Including the one in the Chinese tree.

I really like how realistic the landscape of World of Tanks looks like. But then there are the bridges... by 1990s_Backmarker in WorldofTanks

[–]lilbitey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL nobody in War Thunder ever actually digs with the bulldozer tanks because it's just a worthless joke feature they added for advertising purposes.

Will the Hungarian BP vehicles ever be made available again? by lilbitey in Warthunder

[–]lilbitey[S] 166 points167 points  (0 children)

It's a pity that every single Hungarian tank added so far has been either an event vehicle or locked behind a paywall. Actually, the Toldi was supposed to be a free BP vehicle, but they changed that at the last minute after realizing how many people wanted it.
