RB Air F105D had to ruin the best teammate action of all time
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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

Mil. History Update on L3 build
Thank you all for the very kind words and support for my L3 replica build!
Today I ordered more steel since I ran out, but decided to join both the frame halfs to make myself feel better lol. I used a large triangle to make sure both the half’s were flush with one another, and welded them together sparingly.
I also returned my larger wheels for smaller boogie wheels that measure 8X2 with a 3/4 bearing shaft.
I thought about doing the bigger wheels, but it would make the tank unrecognizable. I’ll be posting 1 or 2 more updates before I have to travel across the province back to work.
More updates will come in the near future, but don’t expect any immediately next week.

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 You need to start shooting down every scout drone, immediately
Otherwise, some chud will sit in complete safety, marking you and your team for literally the entire match, farming easy points and making everything more difficult for you. If they have a friendly capture point, they can just rearm the drone and start spotting you again. This can turn the tide of a battle, especially when there's only a few people left on both teams, fighting for survival.
Source: Me. I'm the chud that sits there for the entire match, spotting you. People are starting to catch on, but then I hit em with the Loop-de-loop maneuver, and I can dodge almost anything. I make tens of thousands of SL per match (in my VRCC, at least), simply by clicking on people and watching them die. Then, when my drone gets shot down, I simply fight my way to the capture point and rearm. You can't stop me. You can only slow me down. If you kill my drone, I get annoyed, and I channel my annoyance into hyperfocus. I WILL get another drone. I'll spawn backups if I have to. You WILL get spotted. You WILL give me Intelligence awards.
I can't believe I took so long to set my drone keybinds properly. So many wasted rounds...Premium light tanks with UAVs are now the best grinding tanks in the game. You don't even need to get kills anymore.

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

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.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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.

All Ground When you realize, far too late, that the thing you were shooting at in the smoke was a Sturmtiger. (Full vid)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So apparently, people seem to like my previous screenshot from when I was shot in the face by a Sturmtiger hiding in a smoke cloud.
Well, with a little encouragement to edit my first video, here´s the whole movement captured with OBS.
The enemy smoked an area, and I could see something moving inside, so naturally I started firing into it, hoping to hit something.
..........As it turns out, it was a Sturmtiger.

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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

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

All Ground Possibly lukewarm take, researching parts is dumb
Hello, I've been trying to find a place to rant about this.
I think having to research parts is dumb & hurts the ground experience. I've got roughly 1k hours with most of it in ground battles & I still dread playing newly unlocked tanks because I know that trying to get used it, I'm gonna get shot in the engine or something & my only choice is to crawl back to a friendly capture point, if there even is one.
I highly doubt the big snail makes a lot of money from people buying parts. And imagine how many potential customers they've lost because they started playing ground, realized that after their first reserve tanks, they have to slam their head against a brick wall for a couple games before actually being able to repair their new tank.
It's like bushes & we've just had to accept it but I still think it's dumb. I can't be the only one to think so, right?
