T-80s are mini T-34s.

They are really fun.

So is the Lee, IF, and only if, you are driving it or are behind it in a T-80.

[Zrk2]

So apparently I racked up three kills in my Fw190 in arcade, by turnfighting.

I feel dirty.

And how are Americans tonks? It's been a long while since I played and I've decided to see if I can get back into it this week.

[Playergamer]

That moment when you release a 1000 lb bomb and rip your wings.

Untill the Lee: Glass cannons. The Stewart is rather good at noming just about anything, but if you breath on it it goes boom.
Lee+: Weeee yer ded I haz gun+armor you is ded band bang boom murica fuck ya ohshityerupmyassfuckdontkillmeplease

It may not be that bad, But I have survived two arty strikes right on top of me in the lee and survived with mildly damaged tracks/suspension while fighting off a T-34 and its friends.
I eventually died to them, but not before I killed half. 75mm howitzers are fun.

Oh, and shermans are dicks.

Grrrr....about ready to ragequit and uninstall this again.

I refuse to believe the average player is so good that they can one-shot me from four grid squares away without any rangefinding shots first, WHILE I'm in motion at 25mph at an oblique angle to them.

Am I wrong in this? Is there a magic trick to sniping targets that I'm just not aware of, or is the Tier II-III playerbase just rife with aimbots?

[Sonlirain]

More or less like this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In fact they starting mixing nationalities in realistic to prevent roflstomps from happening... and i have a feeling that it has something to do with any tier beyond tier 1 being "paid" to unlock during the "test".

[TheBronzePickle]

There's been some fixing going on, at least. Namely, two of the big players in the American roflstomp, the M3 Lee and the M4A3(105), have been sent up the BR ladder to face things that have a fairer chance at killing them. On top of that, the (105) is no longer wet-stowed, so its ammo will light up a lot easier. It seems to have helped at least somewhat, as American teams are losing a bit more often than they used to.

Arcade battles?

Well depends on the tank you drive as well, using one with a good muzzle velocity I can usually hit stationary target at the first try up to 800mt away, and moving one if he's moving maintaining the distance.

[Sonlirain]

Germans have much less drop. especially the tier 2 PZ3 (long 50 mm gun) and tier 3 T-34-57 has a very low drop for its tier making it easy to hit things at range even with hte first shot.

[Jopax]

I really really hate the way you can't rejoin a match after you DC.

Take for example my fight with the Russians today. All was going well, I was climbing nicely but then my internet decided to die for two seconds. Then my team won the match and I got the daily x5 bonus, which made my RP earnings about 100 points or thereabouts.

No, RB. I don't get within 100 miles of tank arcade, because it becomes a pure twitch reflex shooter.


Something interesting happened this evening though....something finally clicked and I finally grasped rangefinding. Now I'm starting to understand those one-shot kills (although I still have to question some of the ones where I was in full motion, but meh.)

Scored a few kills with my T-34 where I couldn't even see the target. And one with my SU-122 from halfway across the map.

[TheBronzePickle]

Going fast doesn't help if your enemy is a tank ace. I've aimed and ammoracked tanks from 2 klicks off while they were going laterally at full tilt. Easy-peasy with any long gun and enough experience.

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, if the enemy is maintaining constant speed and direction, their movement is rather ignorable.

[BlindKitty]

I'm so proud. (Disclaimer: arcade battles version)

I was flying Il-2 (the tier - 2 version) with someone on my tail. I had last two bombs, and I was already damaged, so I came down right above some artillery encampment, dropped my two bombs, and got up as fast as I can.
Result?
"Aircraft destroyed"
"Surprise" +500 silver lions

Guy was going so close to me that 2 x 100 kg bombs detonating on the ground (I missed the arty) got to him and blow him out of the sky.
