Can we take a break from laughing at yet more docs being leaked to laugh at Gaijin adding yet another top-tier Russian premium, this time an Indian T-90 to the British tree?

Ahem, Its a Squadron vehicles which means its technically free, though grinding it out would probably take two year,

I've bitched about it before, but i hate how inconsistent Gaijin is with putting unique vehicles in tech trees, Why does Britian get a fucking T-90? They didn't get the Aussie Abrams, yet they get a Indian T-90, you can argue the Abrams would have fit better since it was a Nato tank, but fuck that i guess.

Its pretty fucking obvious Gaijin has just gone all-in on being Russia Thunder at top tiers considering the long list of imbalanced vehicles Russia gets. And they probably figure they can get some sweet bucks from the street shitters and dissatisfied Brit mains by slapping in a vehicle that has to be close to 80% copy/paste.

Yeah, but in the past they were at least better at hiding it.

Gotta disagree with you there but maybe because I've played since the beta. They never hid it, they just didn't acknowledge it or went with, "we were granted access to secret NKVD files.".

If I remember, that's how they justified Las and Yaks being able to reach and maneuver at altitudes they were never seen at during the war.
 
Eh, maybe for post war. I've recently been playing some realistic and Russian tanks aren't nearly as good as in arcade (for ww2 stuff).

Was playing with a guy (who of course mains German) who buys in 100% on the "US tanks op cuz stab", ignoring that german tanks simply aim in the general direction of a us tank that isn't a jumbo.

*Edit* Can my T-44 and pershings please get decreased from 6.7 Gaijin? I think 6.7 is even worse now.

*Edit 2* And it must be said that to this day the US server is still packed to the brim with try hard niggers way worse than EU.

Eh, you're probably right, although it just feels like they've stopped pretending they give a shit about other nations.

Yeah, and then when they see a Jumbo they all shoot center mass and scream about it being OP OP NERF NOW. Not hard to kill a Jumbo frontally, ya know. Just shoot that MG port weakspot or under the mantlet.

What's that? You have to carefully aim at those weakspots? Feels real fucking bad, doesn't it Germany?

Or just play Panther. Still can pen with a straight shot.

I think I was making him salty by reinforcing his opinions by consistently doing good lol.
 
Not gonna lie, I was was surprised how well the Jumbo handles in RB. It doesn't seem to go much slower at all.

Still, back to AB for me. RB kind of sucks soloing.

Eurofighter Typhoon DA7 leaked…

It’s not even fucking in the game it’s just something they wanted added

The fact that some people are willing to go to jail due to maximum degree range of the rear tail flaps of a Re-T4RD FU9, is amazing. I fucking love watching the shenanigans of the War Thunder community unfold day by day. Keep it up, nerds!

It actually handled extremely well IRL. The grousers did a decent job with the weight and changing the final drive meant the drivetrain didn't get overstressed. Suspension bottoming out at high speed on rough terrain was the only significant problem.

Yeah a lot of tanks turn into absolute sloths relative to AB. My pz4 felt sluggish, t34 felt way slower. Pershing....oh God.

Jumbo is barely a change lol.

Medium tanks like the Pz IV and T-34 get significant boosts to horsepower and turret traverse. Its the primary reason why the Panther is so godlike in AB since its biggest weakness no longer exists, and the medium tank horsepower boost puts the Panther D at a ridiculous 1,240 horsepower when spaded. Jumbo is classed as a heavy, so it doesn't get nearly the same boosts the other Shermans get, and the Pershing was IRL a slug and needs every bit of horsepower AB gives it.

There's a picture that comes to mind instantly. Mind you, this is not including the air bias. I remember the days of the Yak-3 bullshit and the 45mm Yak-9K not instantly stalling when shooting more than a few rounds like in real life (my favorite was the La-7).

We might as well roll a dice on the next "leaks"for a classified vehicle, or the type of leak (Ammo, armor depth, movement speed, turret speed, radar).

I can't wait for the next dumb idea of leaking something:
My bet's on the F-35's AN/APG-81 radar, or when modern naval (tm) is announced, seeker data for the MK 48 MOD 7, or the LAB sonar array sensitivity.

Gotta keep your dreams big!

The china one that happened definately got someone in trouble, it was the chinese mbt round photo and datasheet; then the challenger? one got the dude prosecuted I think.

UK dude was a tank instructor and got fired (prosecution pending iirc). Chinese dude probably vanned for treason and is either rotting for life in laogai or will get executed by 2024.

I only played Air RB. I honestly believe Ground Forces is a big part of the downward slope the games been on for years. Not only did it significantly increase grind but it brought over all the WoT autists too and that games community is fucking dog shit. Wish the game stayed with just air battles but can't force the genie back into the bottle.

Biggest mistake was the AF/GF 10+ BR bullshit (mid cold war era). Should've stopped at T-44s. The other issue is the nature of P2W, you're always gonna need to be adding something. I'm still mad at the 109 20mm nerf though.

There's a reason SB MBTs have few Soviet players. SB soviet tanks suck due to a lack of reverse (albeit ahistorical on the T-80 iirc) and shit gun depression. Think of it as trying to reach jets with only the 109 G series while your entire enemy comp is spitfires or thunderbolts.
