    My first GOOD match. I love the Calliope

    A little more than 200 hours in, three different nations and much much anger, I finally got a really good match. Previous record (that I got to multiple times, such as my last match yesterday night) was 6 kills. Once you get the hang on how to play the Calliope it gest so much fun. Map was iberian castle.

    R.i.p. the poor bastard in the Panther D that got hit by a rocket in the cupola

    The coupon for this tank for me being able to sell it in the marketplace said i could use it after February 1 or 2 if I am not mistaken, then logging in just now that very same coupon disappeared from my inventory for some reason? Anyone had the same problem or know the fix to this? it sucks if my grind for it just went for nothing

    Is the VB.10C-1 French interceptor a good fighter plane?

    Hi. im thinking about getting it. However I wonder if its an agile plane in dogfights and if in general its a good plane? It is a massive plane and maybe it is more suited for bomber interception and maybe air to ground attacks?

    Playing with friends

    I started playing like a week ago and until now I've been playing just for Britain. My friend joined as well and choosed Italy to play.

    My question is if we would be able to play together in realistic battles since Italy and Britain were enemies in World War. does it matter in realistic battles.

    Or do we need to play for same nation or nations on the same side (for example Germany and Italy)

    As USA player, how do you go past 10.7

    I unlocked abrams, tried 1 game only with it, can barely get a crit hit with the HEAT and can only dream about a kill, research a poopy APFSDS now can maybe get a kill or 2, didnt bother anymore going with only 1 tank, researched the m1128 again poopy HEAT barely can do anything.

    1. Need to research

    2. Cant research - barely doing damage, teams dying in 20 seconds

    3. Always an uptier

    Is the top tier reserved only to premiums and 200 IQ data leakers or i just suck at the game? People who grinded more than 1 country to toptier need to get a statue in their city, this shit is insane. I can only see myself going to research both tanks and air only in 1 country EVER. Sticking with ww2/cold war. Unplayable. Oh yes i forgot that Helis and Planes just snipe you from the very border of the map/drop a bomb from the moon direct on top of you.

    THE WORST 6.7 lineup in the game

    https://preview.redd.it/k2r5uu0oyige1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=2334b8314341a6ea149a523273273455ca08e08c

    cmon gaijin, tell me what is my stock t44 supposed to do against a maus, why is is2 with wors armour, reload, mobility and gun handling same BR as tiger 2, why is every single 6.7 game a full uptier where my WW2 tanks have to fight tanks with rangefinders and 300mm+ of HEAT pen, what justifies t44 having a 210mm of APCR pen at 6.7? sorry for the rant man but i just cant with this, both germany and usa 6.7 stomp the living shit out of you

    Alright guys, a proper challenge.

    Try to get a winrate of 50% of USA ground RB.

    Nothing less or more, that's the challenge.

    I hate F1 Mirages

    First of all is there a particular reason why they get so many countermeasures? Like wtf ,secondly they are faster than any phantom and have broken AF or missiles the plane itself turns rather good so what are their weakspots?

    You can no longer purchase Battle Pass stages?

    Hello,

    In previous Battle Passes you were able to buy stages, costing 125 gold each.
    Is this no longer available?

    https://preview.redd.it/0lusf8qxtige1.png?width=981&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6f86b0d8a453e6be85a01377a31553d64f9e431

    It would be pretty disappointing; I really want the Legionnaire Military Engineer portrait but I don't have the time to grind the entire battle pass...

    Hopefully they just changed the UI and moved the button, or that options becomes available later on 🀞

    Thank you!

    Can someone relate ?

    So i play like 7 matches and everyone of them was full uptier. What's even crazier one guy in my team was 7.0 (i was playing 5.3) i don't know how's that even possible. I think gaijin just hate me.
