I play on PC from time to time, doing all ze German tanks now.  If you see a guy named CoxWinger drunk text spamming during a battle, you've found me.

I play on PC a bit, and the PS4 and PC Guys can play together.

I mainly fly Enduring Confrontation, as I like to fly bombers.

If you havent figured it out by now, this game is super russian biased. Example, take a look at the starter planes.

I played it for a while with a HOTAS and hated it. 

I just started playing again on Arcade with mouse and keyboard and it's actually fun 

I don't know what I like yet.  Tanks are tough.  Planes I can handle.

Oh I know. Hell I've recently started to play the british again. The sherman firefly gets wrecked by everything. Nevermind that in the real world it was popping T-55s left and right with the izzies.

I wouldn't say that.  A properly angled Sherman is damned near impenetrable from the front vs. equivalent battle rating tanks.  It's also much more mobile than similar tier Russian and German vehicles.

The early low BR Shermans may be well protected for their BR, but the 76mm Shermans will be penetrated frontally by just about anything at their BR, and it only gets worse as the BR goes up, mainly because the armor doesn't change much aside from the E2, which ends up decently armored (except for the hull machine gun mount, and the cupola which for some bizarre reason is thinner and less well sloped than on the 'standard' Shermans).  The M4A3E8, for instance has a BR of 5.3, of which the only 2 German vehicles are the Nashhorn and PIV/70, both of which will penetrate the front plate out to over 500m at any angle which doesn't either mask the Sherman's gun or expose the side, which can be penetrated out to over 1km.  Of course, the 76mm Shermans are too highly tiered, with the Nashorn and Pz IV both being Tier 3 vs Tier 4 for the E8.  The E8 will almost never be the highest BR vehicle on the map because of this, as there are only 3 vehicles at that tier with equal or lower BR, and 2 are AA guns.  Heck, the 88mm flack has a BR of 3.7, and will punch through the turret from anywhere out to at least 1000 yds with a simple center of mass aim point.  On the Russian side, the T-34/85 is the only tank at tier 4 with a 5.3 BR, and the 85mm gun will penetrate the turret and mantlet out to 1000m with the stock APHE round.  The E2 is well armored, but the 76mm is a 6.0 T4, and will be facing at least IS-2 (122mm gun) or Sturer Emil (128mm gun).

All in all, the Sherman in the game fairly well matches the experience of the real world Sherman in the field in that they are well protected initially, but fall well behind in armor.  The difference of course is that in the real world, there weren't hordes of Tiger 2s, IS-2s, etc., facing them, and the game doesn't take into account operational issues such as maintainability/availability/reliability, driving range, etc.

Learning the American fighters suck balls too, at least under 3.0.  I'm a bomber fan, mainly because I can't seem to get an edge on any fighter unless they're already hit.

I see the different nations as the game's difficulty settings. Russia and Germany are easy-normal, US is hard mode

The commies and fascists are definitely the best in both air and ground. UK has good air but their tanks suck. US air sucks because in this game, cannons win everything and the US has the least amount of cannons. Japan is just kind of there. I'm pretty sure they implemented Japanese tanks recently as a nerf to Germany; because Jap tanks suck. Before, it would 90% of the time pair up Germany and Russia; which would almost ALWAYS win against US + UK

I just searched for "ar15" and it was the only result that came up.  Just applied my self, stumbled on this game via Steam a few days ago and got hooked.  Air combat is definitely easier with a 47" monitor, I wish I choose air instead of tank to start as I would have preferred a free plane.

It was pretty "abusive" from the get go.
And yes, it's getting worse.

For those considering it for the first time- Treat it like WoT, and suspend disbelief and historical accuracy.  It's a -game-, not a simulation. No matter what either has or is claiming.

If you listen to the likes of Scarper and his band of totally not abusive and fair mods who also happen to still be in high school from the Offical WT forum.....then yes.

No really, the WT forum is a cesspool of the egotistic type; Mod Queue's for literally nothing, getting called a War Gaming Paid Troll when you point out obvious out in the open flaws with the game...then there are the individuals that I wont name who seem to skirt by any sort of punishment and get free rein to act how they want, just so happens to be mostly mods too (anything from down right disrespectful comments, shit talking individuals in open forum then banning and mod queuing them unjustly, breaking rules the turn around and enforce on others). Lets not forget the Russian master race players, it's perfectly fine to ply as anything russian but the second you take a sherman and pop a T34 you're a hacking camping cod fag.

Easily my most played game (ps4) over than BF1.

Great game if you enjoy simulators however the ground forces arcade mode is pretty fun.

Agreed, but some do, and it's killed many a game. Gaijin just barely pulled that one off.

Game correct, no broken, Gaijin know all, Gaijin game correct and accurate, gamers wrong, gamers always wrong

Yea, gaijin likes to take pages out of Dices book, "fix" things that aren't broken and leave what is broken alone and say it's models and stats are correct.

We typically only accept people if we can find them on Arf. We have been having a lot of rando's applying to the squadron lately so if you got denied just send me a message!


As for play time, almost anytime I get to play I play WT.  Ground forces realistic is the best mode IMO.  Get to do some tanks and planes if you earn enough points.  Past that, I would say air arcade just because it's a good way to get lions.



Also, I have spent too much of my time drinking and playing this game.  Recently I have discovered I bought stuff in game that I don't remember buying.  I might have a problem

Same here, just last night. Custom battle, one of the 100 kill matches. Said "fu arock" twice, and nothing. Might have been the fact that I wrecked him several times from across the lake on Poland, in my Tiger H1.

I started playing it on my snow day, while I waited for world of tanks to update on PS4

I tried the tanks but after playing wot I decided to stick to the planes.

The US planes are weak on guns. I think 2 ARs mounted on the side with and beta mag would be better.

It took a little while to figure out how to play with the bombers. I was flying a bomber like a fighter plane

Latest change log for "Assault".

Some cool new stuff. Exhaust flames, damage models, new tanks, new bomb loads, 


Gun Stabilizer......


This might make matches harder because it will be easier to drive and shoot
