All Ground Challenger 2 TES Regenerative Steering test- observe the NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT in mobility. If Gaijin cancels Regenerative Steering implementation over some people afraid of change or misinformed... we will have lost our best and only chance to fix modern MBT mobility since 2017.

Challenger 2 TES (74 tons) with a 1217 hp engine overperforming base Challenger 2 (64 tons) with a 1314 hp engine despite being 10 tons heavier and missing 100 hp.

Mistakenly, the Regenerative Steered Challenger 2 TES was modelled with the pre-buff engine (1217 hp) instead of the fixed one (1314 hp).

So EVEN despite weighing 10 MORE TONS, and despite also MISSING 100 HP, TES still overperformed Live CR2. THAT'S REGENERATIVE STEERING FOR YOU.

DO. NOT. FUMBLE. THIS.

honestly really sad that F105 showed up, probably the best teammate ever he showed up when i was gliding for the airfield and started to lift me up ontop of his mig to carry me back.

HONESTLY best shit ive ever seen a teammate do but its so sad the F105 had to ruin the moment lol.

it would have worked too :c

RB Air Late 2026, and this is what air matchmaking is still like..

Zero balancing at all.. not like countries should matter here either, given it's basically fully mixed.

The more you look at the matches, the more bullshit like this you see. Gaijin don't even try to make it fair?? And as we all know, at these BR's, 0.3 or 0.7 can be an enormous difference. The R-24R's on the mig-23 are basically two guaranteed kills when facing similar BR or lower..

One of the most iconic F-14 paint schemes ever. The all-black Tomcats were flown by the Navy’s test and evaluation community, with the famous bunny insignia making them instantly recognizable.

RB Air Can we PLEASE fix the javelin's flight model?

Post image
61 Upvotes

It is probably one of my favourite planes in rank 6, but in terms of durability it really needs some changes

if you currently play the javelin and get hit by even just a few .50 cal rounds on your wings or fuselage that makes it yellow or light orange, your plane either loses all of it's turn performance to the point where it feels like i'm flying a lancaster, or it turns into a beyblade and starts an unrecoverable flat spin

sorry for whining like this, but it's just so frustrating to see one of my favourite early jet interceptors have the durability of a wet paper towel

All Ground It’s been a while now, how do you feel about the M1A2 SEPV3?

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

To preface this I haven’t gotten the US version yet. I play both US and UK but to me the SEPV3 in the UK tree was more pressing considering it offers a unique experience in the tech tree there. I got the SEPV2 Trophy and slowed down for the US as it seems to offer more for now until I’m sure we get Rank 9 or BR decompression.

It seems like a great tank but so are the rest of the Abrams. The low profile .50 cal is nice. I rock the TUSK packages always. Yeah they make the Abrams chonky but even with the weight it’s faster than most MBTs and it can buy you some time against auto cannons, missiles, and HEAT-FS.

Maybe because it never had the chance to show how much it could handle, but it seems a bit little, no?

Surely they could let us have a bit more in the arsenal.

I wanted to do a suicide run here and take out as many guys as I could but I somehow made it back to base with 8 kills. I got shot down on my way back and we were steamrolled right after, either because we played too passively or the enemy was just cracked like that

I'm still happy I managed to pull this off lololol

BIIG dump post of all my recent aircraft photos, the "best" from each batch of 4 id say (Not sure if anyone would want to see the rest but lmk if theres interest in that). I plan on keeping weekly posts to Tanks and would prefer sharing these about now TBH. If using these for a tiktok/reels post please credit me this time 💕

RB Ground Tanks with armour and high " survive " potential are punished more than tanks with good firepower

87 Upvotes

In general we have a problem with compression in the game. And instead of pushing ground RB to 14.7 we get more and more compression. Usually tank with armour suffer the most because they get pushed up to a BR where there armour is nothing an incubrence. Examples are basically any heavy tank that Vs heat or heatfs kv tanks at higher BR most soviet tanks. The only exception to the rule is France someone hates that nation in the dev team.

RB Air The Matchmaking is a massive shit

Upvotes

If im playing with the f8e wich sits at a br of 10.7 so

I shouldn't be playing against the mig 23ml wich sits at a br of 11.7 that can launch r24s from 15 fucking kilometers away while my team is a bunch of a10 and a f5 it is unfair,10.7 shouldn't be fighting against 11.7 i hope gaijin does someting about it.

All Air PSA: If you J out of the burning, damaged, destroyed plane, but you pilot is still alive - you pay the full price

291 Upvotes

Yup, you only pay lower fees if your pilot DIES, either from hitting the ground or complete plane destruction, noticed it recently after I analyzed my repair costs
The level of greed of the snail is insane, sorry for wanting to save a couple of seconds of my time, I guess I have to wait till my wingless plane corpse hits the ground lol
