Father.

Adorable.

Well, this is.

I can't really remember where I got that one tbh.

I'll post my cat later on if this posting persists.

Mi gato.

Like, Lanky or ***L A N K Y***

Heard y'all was talkin' about beans?

Barely anyone plays it, though.

Then again, I haven't played my M1 straight up for a good month or two now.

Have you guys seen the amount of matches played by Leo 2A4 drivers in RB that Thunder Skill has kept track of?

And yea, Abrams.

For the people that play the Leo 2A4 that Thunder Skill has been keeping track of, it is just under 26K matches compared the tracked 17K for the Abrams for example.

Honestly, the biggest problem I have playing the M1 is the lack of the M774 at this point. Makes me wanna die every time I bounce a fuckin' 2K on the hull or I just barely don't have enough pen when I hit what is supposed to be a weak spot on an enemy tank.

I think I've honest to god bounced at least 35%-ish of frontal hull shots I've taken at the 2K in total. Most of my snap shots on the front hull bounce because it's *just* good enough to ricochet M735.

Otherwise, I typically hit the bit where it's flat or it's at a poor angle.

Keep in mind, I've only ever used M735 because I don't have M774 yet.

I'd probably do a lot better with it.

Yea.

I think it's 350-360 at 10m at 90 degrees.

Lemme double check.

Yup.

YUP

Actually, it may be around 370 at 10 meters, but 360ish at 100m.

>wishing we had M1A1 but realizing that'd be going to far and would likely fuck the top tier meta even more

Honestly, the only other M1 I foresee us getting for a long time would be the M1IP whenever everyone else gets a minor upgrade.

I think the main upgrades on the IP was the turret armor and something else IIRC, but I can't remember what the second main upgrade was.

Yea.

Speaking of WT, have you been grinding the marks for FJ-4B with AGM-12 Bulldogs or nah?

I mean, you don't need to for it, but okay.

Alright, the M735 has a penetration of 355mm at 100 meters at a 90 degree angle.

Honestly, all I've been using is a 6.3 US tank RB lineup.

Been pretty easy.

M774 is 410mm with the same conditions.

The repair price for the Abrams is something I really wish they'd lower even if just a bit.

I'm about halfway done with my modifications and I'm sitting at a cost of 11.5k right now.

tf

>Leo 2A4 is 4.4k stock

Gayjoob, pls

I get why they try to balance player count with repair cost, but jfc.

It's honestly kind of surprising given that's what I mostly fight in my 6.3 lineup.

I usually drive the Super Pershing then switch to whatever we need, but I'm still pretty surprised it's that expensive.

Since it's prem, I'm betting relatively cheap.

I think that's down to the fact that almost no one drives that.

I see maybe two or three a day when playing around that BR, if I see them at all.

105 KT is endangered tbh.

I main US for right now, but still.

Yea, with the ammo rack prioritization that was added a good while ago now.

I feel bad for KTs because of that.

Was about to ask.

I don't see them near enough to remember what ammo it uses tbh.

Really?

I think I've died to about as many KTs as everything else in my M103.

The angle pen on the 105 must be worse than the long 88.

Really?

I know.

I've been killed umpteen times in my M103 by KTs and Panthers from the lower glacis.

I really don't play 7.7 that much after the top tier tank BR expansion.

Honest to god.

RNGesus must hate your ass, then.

F

Guess I need to try and play my M103 more.

One tank I've noticed a fuckin' lot though is the Ferdi. I don't see them in large numbers, but I always see at least two in a match consistently.

I know their repair cost is pretty large, but that thing is a bitch once it get's a corridor or a snipping spot.

Actually, now that I think about it, I almost always push more than I camp with the M103 - hell, in general. Just not my playstyle that I've developed.

Probably what leads to me getting killed more often.

lel

I better not see your ass driving around when I take out my Abrams next time.

Also, any tips for the M1 that you could slide my way at least with the M735? And probably some general tactics with it.

~~pushing like I usually do doesn't go well, even flanking~~

It'd honestly help if Germans didn't fucking camp so goddamned much.

I guess I'll just have to try to be more conscious about playing like I normally do in my Pershings,

I always flank as much as I can and to try and keep with buildings to try and surprise enemies.

And is it me, or are the Germans currently sitting at the top for top tier shit on both tanks and aircraft right now or am I just shit with trying to fight CL-13s?

Best way to fight CLs?

oof

Would join, but I'm gonna play like two matches and go sleep.

Nice talkin' to ya though.

They said a good while ago that a map in the US was going to be out at some point.

Yea, something like that. Was supposed to be "Alternate History" which it being put in is really fulfilling that promise itself, but people are butthurt in the devblog comments regardless.

🤷

Only thing I can think of is that they expected an air RB alternate history map instead of a tank map.

But knowing Gaijin, they'll probably adapt it for that, too.

Haven't played it way too much, but I like it. Fits my play style.

~~and the overall high ground resistance is nice~~

Means I don't go 12km/h going up a slight incline in my Super Pershing.

I imagine the 40t is fucking ridiculous on that map...

True.

Unless you get it while it's raining.

In which case, the sky turns fucking purple for whatever reason.

I actually haven't played since my last phone bit the fuckin' dust.

Probably won't be able to figure out the password given I have at least 20 different ones, too, but I'll try that later today.

I need to sacrifice some more of my sanity to the snail.

Playing an event in War Thunder. The devs use(d) a snail as a part of their logo.

~~And this game drives me up the fucking wall a lot.~~

But the event aircraft is a FJ-4B with AGM-12s, so...
