  1. What the Hell is the Point of Interleaved Road Wheels?

    Is it just me, or does this argument remind you of an argument that blacktaildefence would make? Same brand of mental gymnastics, answer dodging, and lack of self awareness... 

     

    either way:

    I have no knowledge about those vehicles, so I'll make negative assumptions about what doesn't fit in the narrative.


    Hmmm... no wonder you’re not learning anything.

    Your entire argument is based on what you think the reason for this choice was.


    You might want to go look into a mirror, mate.

    You talk about panther's double system? Torsion bars in general are pretty narrow. They require about 10cm more heigh, that is all.


    Single torsion bars? Yes. 
    Double torsion bars? Doesn’t appear to be the case. 
     

    I will point out that these are 2 entirely different systems, the differences being minor, but important. However the biggest difference is that one system has been demonstrably successful through years and years of constant and reliable service, becoming the standard for which suspension systems on armored vehicles are judged; while the other hasn’t been used since 1950...

    Allies got these priorities all wrong and paid the high price.


    And yet the allies won... paying this “high price”...

    Great many? Which ones?


    Other than the incredibly successful pincer movement the Nazi’s got themselves into when they went to war on 2-3 fronts, against 2 pier level (Russia and Britain) and one superior (USA) opponents? Successful insomuch that the person on the inside of the pincer is suppose to lose, right? 
     

    But I’m sure you’re not talking about that, you’re talking about tactical maneuver, in which case I will remind you of: Arracourt, Stalingrad, Leningrad-Novgorod, Riga, Ruweisat ridge (part of first battle of El Alamein), the Falaise / Mons / Colmar pockets... the Nazi’s we’re outmaneuvered again and again, on all fronts, while they couldn’t do the same back due to highly immobile vehicles, many of which were using the inter leveled wheels. I would argue that their most maneuverable vehicles were the panzer 2, 3, and 4 (and derived vehicles) which didn’t have that overly complicated and maintenance intensive wheel system.

    better maneuvering, more flanking surprises, better combat performance. And it is pretty clear what the Allies were the worst at, maneuver warfare. 


    You must be taking-the-piss, the allies out maneuvered the Germans far more than the reverse, as demonstrated by the great many, successful pincer movements used by the allies during the war.

    The line of British stuff that leads to the SA tanks actually looks pretty fun.   The F-8 is pretty, and maybe we'll get a NAVY Phantom. It's fucking travesty, the service who actually developed the Phantom did not get it first. 


    M8 greyhound is premium in US tree, but main tier in Chinese tree... absolutely disgraceful...

    War Thunder "Ixwa Strike" - Changelog - Updates - Game - War Thunder

     

    Tis here, comrades. 

     

    some interesting notes: 

    • Germany and France got the Austrian SK-105A2 (JagerPanzer Kanone A2 in the German tree). 
    • USSR got the BT-7M and the T-28 model 1938
    • Olifant Mk.2 and "TTD" for the South African branch, as well as another 105mm armed Rooikat (main tree this time) 
    • Italy got the Pz.3N sans hull schurtzen (non premium), Pz.4G, and Stug.3G as well as the Etna light cruiser (which was never completed)
    • Japan got the AA cruiser Isuzu (Kuma derivative) and a low tier TD "Ji-Ro", armed with a 120mm Schneider cannon and SAP 
    • Nuclear armed aircraft are available in tank RB (for 3000 spawn points), and on successful bomb drop, instantly win the game: 
    • Spoiler

      Preset nuclear weapon-carrying aircraft have been added to RB tank battles. When a player spawns in such an aircraft, an air raid signal is triggered at the capture points. The bomb can only be dropped on the battlefield part of the map (where ground vehicles of the players are moving) so the enemy team will have a chance to intercept. After a successful bomb drop and detonation the team scores an instant victory. Aircraft nuclear weapon carriers are available for respawn for all players if they accumulate enough respawn score (3000 regardless of the game session BR, number of respawns on other aircraft and successful scouting) and are divided by rank of the game session:

      BR 6.7-7.7: Тu-4 / B-29A-BN;

      BR 8.0-9.0: Il-28 / Canberra B.Mk.6;

      BR 9.3+: Su-7BKL / Jaguar A.

      may god have mercy on game balance...

    Really m8... really? 

     

    1. Exhausted does not mean quitting, giving up, throwing-in-the-towel, defeated, or other such turn of phrase. I could jump into this argument at any time, but choose not to, primarily because the more knowledgeable and experienced members are making better points than I could hope to make. 
     

    2. How deluded can you be? You’ve been nothing but a punching bag this entire time, and now you’re so out of arguments that you resort to insults and attacks. I haven’t even directly insulted your beloved “wunderwagon panther”, but I just might start.

    - M48: generally good, and with the aforementioned sexy curves. The only complaints I've heard about it are that its 90mm gun was a bit long in the tooth by then (although kept up to date with HEAT-FS and the last of the APCR rounds) and that the commander's mini-turret wasn't great. 

    7.5-8.5/10, would upgrade with 105mm L7, delete the mini-turret and up the model number by 12.


    1. 105mm M68 is not L7A. 
     

    2. Cries in M48A5 / Magach 3.

    Remember some years back when people were saying that T-14 could use its radars to scan for targets as well? There is nothing to back that up right?


    Usually, radar on armored vehicles (other than SPAA) is for either the APS (trophy / Iron fist), or more commonly to check the velocity of the projectile leaving the barrel, for accuracy purposes. This last I’ve seen mostly on artillery.
