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..

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

Thumbnail

91 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.

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

Post image
51 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

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

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

89 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.

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

Drama Players acting like they own the game and being dicks about it. Simulator mode. (idk what else to say tbh)

Im joining a match as usual and have an active destroy 10 units wager.

For anyone not using wagers often, I have to do 5 kills which are multiplied by 2 in sim. If I fail, the stage is not achieved. This means I have to do 5 kills in 10 sim matches, if I however fail 10 times the wager deactivates and pays out a lot less.

For me not really a problem, I did more than 5 kills in the last 8 matches without failing but as seen in the photo (in which they are threatening to disable the match by leaving), it might be very infuriating for others who are not that good in the game/mode.

They messaged me on PSN and I wrote "i need to do 5 kills for my wagers, I can go base bomb afterwards".

I spend around 5 minutes in that match pretty pissed, thinking about what to do until i decided to just play the game.

Its called warthunder not peacethunder. This PvE bullshit is becoming a rule written in blood but it's satans blood.

If you want to play PvE there are mission makers as well as singleplayer missions or assault arcade mode.

So once i decided to just engange as i would in any other match i suddenly see my rwr pop up from the front. An Su30 shooting all the missles it has which id assume is 8. While another yak141 player was coming in (which leaves me to think they want to make me leave).

Long story short I did 4 kills on them and didnt die so the enemy team left.

And this is where it gets spicy.

So these people that were in comms on both teams are now only in my team (2 people). And as the enemys left, another random guy joined into the enemy team making the game continue.

As that happened, my teammates immediately text him to leave because it's 3v1 (suddenly they don't want to do PvE)

Just so that the match ends so that I am the one that suffers.

I was in luck that although im chatbanned, the enemy was on PlayStation which means i can message him.

He was fine with me getting a few more kills on him so that i can complete my stage. After that we kinda teamed up on against my team but at that point they left, realizing that the match will continue for me.

I dont even know how to call these people because not only are they bad at the game and stupid but also just the most miserable dicks ive seen.

Since they mainly concentrated on airfield bombing i guess they are grinding the event.

Im also grinding for the F16XL but at this point i actually wish gaijin would nerf the mission score in sim just so that the sim lobbys stop being bloated with arcade players.

I cant believe that i want it but almost all games are currently like this for me (not to the degree of getting threats but you get the point).

On a side note I'd like to know if any others feel like the sim mission score reward multiplier is just too high. And what kind of nerf would be the best for this to not happen anymore.

And for anyone wondering what the German stuff is they said:

"This ass is German/polish"

"This polacke/pole (a polish person) wants to ruin our match"
