I don't know if it's the same event but I really liked the early japanese fighter-biplane with the hydrofoil bits. I found you could skim across the surface at about 30%-ish propeller and pretend you were an anti-air speedboat.

Have they hosed with ground rewards again? I sense that a talismanned Jagdpanther with 5 kills should yield more than 18k lions and 6000 RP.

As I said before comparing RB and Sim, it doesn't appear to be that Sim's hugely better than RB, but in RB your rewards randomly attenuate beyond the first kill or two, so a 2 kill game and a 10 kill are basically the same, whereas Sim seems to actually scale, so the 10 kill game is a bonanza of XP. Maybe that's broke, but it possibly explained why I always felt ground forces rewards were awful.

So basically :gaijin: 20th kill for the event today was in my Jagdpanther against a T-54  Clearly this means T-54s are horribly overtiered and must be taken down to BR 7.0.

So why is the F-84B so maligned? This thing loving owns, it goes fast, looks good, and once you get used to leading jet targets with the MGs it kills pretty well too. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do against Meteors but they're uncommon enough, and the more common Ho 229s are pretty fun to fly against. Surprisingly seems kinda crap for CARB, though. Turns out that Tiny Tims are really inaccurate when you can't fire them from something that can get as close and maneuver as quickly as a propeller plane.

Historically it was under-powered compared to contemporary fighters to the point where they just said gently caress it, make the thing do CAS so we get our money's worth. In game from what I've heard it's kinda the same, but like you've mentioned the BR helps it get more forgiving games. It does look pretty and they even made a swept-wing version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_F-84F_Thunderstreak

What's the upside of the SU-152's B-type APHE round? Also why does the T-34-85 having the option of taking APCR while otherwise being the exact same tank put it .7 BR higher than the DT?

The guns are on the P-80 and F-80 both of which completely outfly the F-84. While considerably fast when going up against props, no enemy jet with mounted guns should have a hard time catching and dogfighting the F-84 unless they are inexperienced or multiple planes are involved. I used to play this a lot in SB just cause you can get away with it but it's quite the hardmode plane outside of that. It's a lot like flying a P-47 except jets light on fire easily and even endgame prop planes can sometimes push towards nearly 1000kmph if they know what they're doing.

Kind of like how the rewards in tanks are poo poo but they expect you to grind out jet-level amounts of RP and SL for tier V vehicles.

Is there a standard gunner replacement time for all tanks, or is it different for each one? I just killed a T-44's gunner (and commander) and think, "Ok I have time for a second shot since the Leo reloads so quickly", then 3/4 of the way through my reload BAM! I'm dead from a round the put through my ammo rack.

spectralent posted:What's the upside of the SU-152's B-type APHE round? It's a late war shell that is lighter and carries less explosive filler and is equiped with a ballistic cap unlike the original BR-540. Ingame they weight the same, and it only gives you a slight advantage at ranges of 1500+ meters or in penetrating heavily sloped armor (that will ricochet anyway). They both kill tanks good, but I stuck with the standard ammo as I rarely engage things at extreme ranges with my 152mm guns.

It's amazing, until you realize that A) It has .01mm of fuse sensitivity so if it so much as even hits a blade of grass or a fence it will blow up. Goes double for hitting tracks or other pieces of equipment on the side of a tank, so make sure you hit armor. B) You will quickly find out that your lions earned per match goes to 0 because it costs 1k lions to fire it. Wicaeed fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Aug 15, 2015 |

According to the pubbies in chat Germans have awful guns at the 6.7 range. I know pubbies were bad and prone to saying rubbish, but I don't think its possible for someone to be so wrong about something as they are about the long 88.

Its my understanding that the 152 performs brilliantly at very high altitudes. Unfortunately most combat in War Thunder does not take place at very high altitudes and as a result the 190 D9 is generally considered to be a lot better.
