Well, it's become clear that not only is being plagued by cheaters of late, they're active on the forums to argue that there's no cheaters. Apparently they get to run rampant while Gaijin turns a blind eye, because they all buy premium tanks

I've been getting the shits with the cheaters in BR 9.0+, so I've been taking my Panhard EBR (Engin BlindΓ© de Reconnaissance) out in .

It's your usual batshit insane French vehicle, with two drivers, a horizontally opposed 12cyl engine, two independent gearboxes, hydraulic actuated aluminum traction wheels, and the ubiquitous oscillating turret.

It's also a gremlin tank, and I love it.

I'm keen to see what the people at the Aus Armour & Artillery Museum can do with theirs

Well, I finally got the PUMA in .

It's a German BR 10.0 vehicle, and it's a beast. Much like other non-MBT vehicles from Germany, it's based around the Marder's design philosophy, as it is intended as a direct replacement.

Having an unmanned turret, ERA, and a MUSS soft-kill APS, this thing is hard to kill.

While I don't have the APFSDS rounds yet, even the APDS rounds give T-80's pause

I've set myself two goals in :

Grind out the PUMA, and fully upgrade it

Finish the season pass, and get that stupid German vehicle.

Then I can stop playing again for a few months πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚ 😭 πŸ˜–

So, the leaks.

Has anyone actually checked whether the leakers were always correct in the flamewars that provoked them to leak classified info, and whether the documents backed their claims?

I find it such a striking and evocative emergent behavior. Imagine: someone is wrong on the Internet, *and you can prove it*, but *you mustn't*. I bet a significant % of accidental deanonymizations on social media stem from moments like this. Credibility temptation.

It happened again! Another classified document leaked on the forums to get features into the game.

I've been having some fun with my MiG-21S in lately. After the recent grind to get the CT-CV, I've felt like some flying is in order.

Nothing quite like zooming to 8000m, cruising along at Mach 1.1, then catching some unaware enemies with your R-3R SARH missiles. It's also fun to grub at ground level with it once the furball has dispersed; no flares or chaff means it's always in danger youtube.com/watch?v=-72y6jFQPA

Man the stock CT-CV 105HP grind is really boring, but it is finally starting to pay off

I love it when people over stack their ammo in . It's like a fireworks display, just watch that turret fly!

I thought I'd give mobile a lash. It's ok, but I don't think it's for me. Feels a bit like seal clubbing after 3000hrs+ of PC War Thunder

The worst thing about being a light tank main in is every idiot on the team follows you to your sneaky spots, and gives away your position.

Dude just then in a PUMA decides to follow me, in my TAM-2IP. Ended up both giving away my position, and blocking me shooting the tank who killed them.

And others wonder why I can be ultra aggressive about people following me in the game

When my first game of for the day is this good, I know it's going to be a good day.

6 tanks, one chopper, and a bonus Mi-4AV kill on a Striker ATGM. All hail the PT-76-57

I've been playing a bit of my PT-76-57 in to grind some SL (it's a great money maker in game), and it's still so much fun.

Introduced at BR 7.3 (I know, madness) it was just unstoppable; 57mm APCBC with explosive filler, firing every 0.5 seconds.

Yeh, not much stood a chance. I regularly got 11, 12 kill games with it.

It's a bit more subdued now it's at 8.3, but it still wrecks teams

The reason so many of us tankers find it hard to stop playing permanently is the damage model.

There's none that can compare to what Gaijin has done. Shell impacts are modelled both externally, and internally. As you can see from this x-ray, internal components are all there, ammo included.

So, if you someone who has played for a while, they know not to take a full load of ammo, as each round is modelled inside, lest it cook off or detonate when penned

I was playing my MiG-21S (R-13-300) last night as CAS (along with my BMP-2M), and I was reminded why I love this thing.

Fly up to 5000m under afterburner, drop from the sky with some S-24 CCIP rockets, make people rage.

I've been playing again, and taking out one of my favourite SPGs: the Swedish Bandkanon 1C.

Based on the Stridsvagn 103 chassis, it packs a 155mm canon, and while that is truly massive, the real fun happens in the back 🀭

It autoloads those 155mm shells, being able to reload in 3.2 seconds, which is quite the surprise for any unsuspecting Tiger II's that decide to charge it
