Translation for you non-moonrune niggers, I don't know the terms in WT tanks because I was a lol yak 43mm fag (Top to bottom):
Title "Product brief and instruction manual"
Product name: Type DTC10 125mm Armor piercing round

Applicable use models: ZTZ96, ZTZ96A, ZTZ 99, ZTZ99A type(s) MBT

Main information:

Velocity at (+15C nominal temperature) 1760 m/s

Maximum angle of deviation (?) from round to sabot at +15C nominal temperature (Distance between): high/low angle (Angle of attack) multiplied by direction Less than equal to 25m x 0.25m [Not sure if this is translated correctly but "Averaged degrees (?) in 3 dimensional vectors"]
Armor piercing capability: nominal temperature +15C, at 2000m versus 220mm @71.12 degrees, (equivalent to 680mm at 0 degrees) Projectile armor piercing chance is equal to or greater than 90%

Structural overview:
Image 1: Diagram overview of unfired round in its entirety
Image 2: Diagram of structural layout (without sabot)
Can't read the diagrams too blurry.

Technical specifications:
1. Caliber 125mm
2. (cut off)
3. Shell length, <408mm
5. Low fire [Initial primer?] DID-3 low fire [cut off]

(Below the round)

4. Not affecting the normal useability of the round are [exterior scuffing?] of the shell, various [?] recessed portions, portions of the pressure toleranting areas may cause various markings, still may be used normally.
Line above 4.:
[...] is prohibited to use (the) low temperature protrusions or when there are low walls. [TL: Backblast issue?]
Line above the above:
[...] It is prohibited to use [...] of a lessened or otherwise "affected" firing pin.


Last two in red:
5. It's not very readable but I can make out something along the lines of "When there is foreign objects/fouling/other obstructions et al, clear the device and only then is the device (cannon) capable of firing.
6. When proceeding to prepare to fire, check to make sure the (?) is correctly seated and clear the barrel of any obstructions. Once the main ammunition is loaded fire with minimal delay




If anyone has clearer picture I would be glad to translate it.

Played for the first time today. Had no idea what I was doing yet somehow managed to gank enough players to get 1st on the team. Had a series of hilarious disasters including a mid air collision with an enemy, chasing the same enemy with an teammate and the two of us accidentally bumping into each other and taking both of our wings out, and my absolute favorite was when I was getting gang raped and about to be finished off by this guy on my tail only he sped into me, I think he got hooked on me or some shit. The hooked guy was stuck on top of me while we were both only a few hundred feet off the ground, my plane finally gives in and explodes, his plane is free however we were both facing straight down so he crashes into the ground almost instantly after.

This is the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game in a long time, consider me hooked.

Low tier matches that can't fill up with players will usually populate with bots. Least that's how it was when I played but I stopped playing back in 2020.

The usernames didn't look like bots after the first round, though I admit I just begun so I have no idea.
Bots or not, I still had fun and that's all that matters in my eyes, will play again tomorrow.

Most low tier games are bots, especially arcade mode.
Low tier arcade can be a lot of fun with the bi-planes

Wait till you get hooked on air rb or cas in ground rb, if you are truly autistic you'll find sim mode.

What nation did you start with?

Sweden, because it was the funniest.
 
Probs not the best tree to start with but Sweden is indeed a lot of fun.

There's a bit of difference between air arcade and air realistic battles tho, arcade battles pretty much throw you into a furball with multiple lives, air realistic in a fighter you will spawn from the ground and will need to spend minutes side climbing to gain an altitude and energy advantage unless you want to fly into retard head ons. Air RB is much more strategic and the physics are different, you need to manage engine temp and worry about ripping your wings off and red out from g forces.

If you can afford it buy some of the starter packs.

If you are mostly into the air side check out DEFYN on youtube, dude is a chad at planes in WT.

From my current experience arcade ground seems fairly lively with real players, it's tier 1 and 2 mostly for now, can't speak for air or naval though.

I did notice realistic battles in low tier seemed to have slightly longer queues.

Back when HB was just biplanes, you'd regularly get bots in your games because most people had leveled out of them fairly quickly.
 
Also just started playing fairly recently. Started as USA and finally got the M4 at the end of tier 2... USA APshot fucking blows but man once you get those m61 shells and play it more like a 'brawler' you start shredding wehraboos in their pz ivs.

Yeah, the US 75mm owns, and the Sherman's great gun handling just makes it sweeter. Even the 75mm jumbo is a lot of fun to play when Gaijin doesn't decide to artificially nerf its armor model. You start learning things like yes, an IS-1 is very much killable from the front, just be sure to carry some apcr to blast his gunner and then give a kill shot m61 to the cupola. Panthers, too. APCR right to the gunners face. Shoot barrels too, fuck it. You have a 75mm blessed by God and don't have nothing to prove to no one.

Rage against the jumbo is the best

Is it too much to ask that German mains quit their mouthbreathing so US tanks get appropriate BR's?

Nah. A loaded up E8 looks way cooler.

The E8 was the worst looking Sherman, fact.

I tried playing the game again recently, played for 1 hour and uninstalled, keep forgetting war thunder isnt a fun game but a russian torture device.


i saw this a bit ago but forgot , but since i brought up 2and900 in this thread when he died , i thought id mention that when i looked at the gofundme from his brother , his brother posted the bullet hole from where he killed himself , which is, something to say the least.
