I know I used to play War Thunder, but the far too obvious Russian bias back when I was playing it, turned me off from it. I am happy with WoT. I won't touch Gaijin's products anymore, I know there are others who feel the same, not because of the bias but because they just aren't that great of a developer towards their customers. Wargaming tends to communicate bit better. I get that, but tbh, I've been shot down by just as many German, US, and British planes as I have been shot down by Russian planes. I haven't really touched my own Russian planes that much since I can't seem to get many kills with them, yet I do better with my US and British planes. As for tanks, German and Russian are my main heavy hitters while I haven't gotten that far with my US and British tanks (US because the armor and guns are pretty meh until tier IV, and British because they love their solid shot when shells are much better). Japanese tanks are being added in, and now one of the more OP bombers is the BV 238 (German premium) and that thing swallows 20mms like nothing. imo, Russian planes are not as powerful as they used to be. Same could be said for the tanks as well, imo. Oh I am sure it offers enjoyment for some, my friends seem to play it a lot. I just don't have much of an interest in it, I'd not care much for WoT either if I had to start fresh now. Grinding the lower tiers is mostly a pain in the ass and the "Premium" things just annoy me at times. As it feels more like a penalty not to have it rather than a reward to have it. I have similar thing with World of Warships, though I am feeling quite inclined to grind it just to unlock the Iowa- class Battleship on the US side. I'd probably find WT enjoyable for the plane bit, if I had a joystick, but I don't nor will I probably ever have one.

I'd probably find WT enjoyable for the plane bit, if I had a joystick, but I don't nor will I probably ever have one. I'm almost to the Colorado on the US side, and I managed to get all of the ARP ships from the last event (aside from those, I also have the Omaha, the Nicholas, the Furutaka, the Langley, and the Myogi as well as the Dunkerque). I prefer grinding on War Thunder because you're not stuck using only 1 vehicle to research the next one you're trying to get (tanks like the B1 are torturous to grind in WoT). From what I've heard, it's nearly impossible to fly in War Thunder using a joystick. I play it on PS4, so I use my controller, but it doesn't provide the same precise control that K+B seems to provide. Russian and German planes are good for tiers I and II, but, imo, US and Britain start to outclass the Germans for the most part in tier III. What annoys me is that despite living in the US, I have to use the EU servers to be able to play competitively due to the hit detection being screwed up on the NA servers (it'll say that I'm getting hits left and right, but no damage will be dealt even if I'm using 20mm cannons).

I tend to grind to something I enjoy and stick to it improving my crews or such. Still sort of looking for a "time sink" that I can play regularly alongside my studies that doesn't require me to set time aside to play. I played some MMORPGs in organized fashion for a bit again, but having set times every week when you were supposed to be on and available to play with 19 other people just isn't something I can handle these days. I'll play WoT until the Christmas special ends I imagine, maybe give Warships a try after that. I thought WT was pretty good with Joystick, I remember guys making such crazy turns sometimes that I wondered if it was even possible with a mouse and keyboard, at least so fluidly. I tended to play the arcade side though. I just don't have patience to learn how to be competitive in some of the newer games part of reason why I didn't care much for the WT tank side. Every time I hopped into game I just got sneezed at by a T-34, who was bouncing shells from half the team and I was history in my early tanks. Game needs to have years left in it for me to bother to put a lot of time and effort into learning it. WoT is bit of the same, everytime new set of tanks come out you try and learn all the weak points on each one if you want to be competitive.

WoT is bit of the same, everytime new set of tanks come out you try and learn all the weak points on each one if you want to be competitive. Last I checked, the Arkansas was a tier VI premium battleship. I've stopped playing it because it's hard for me to play it with the shit wireless mouse I have (there are multiple times where I wanted to chuck the thing across the house). Same goes for WoT. Never played WoP aside from the tutorial which was impossible for me when it came to shooting down a turning opponent (damn thing was constantly turning and I couldn't even get close to getting the crosshairs on it). Most people on War Thunder use K+M, focusing on mouse aim and using the keyboard for adjustments. If you find a video showing how to do it, it's pretty impressive to watch it in action. I focus mostly on Arcade Battles too, though I may occasionally dip into realistic for my tanks. But yeah, T-34s are tough to take down at lower tiers, but once you learn their weaknesses, they shouldn't be too much of an issue (I loved disabling their engines from the side in my M22 Locust, then driving alongside them under their turret and repeatedly shooting their hull). Just try to aim for the area where the turret and hull connect (or just aim for the turret if they're aiming at you) and you should be able to punch through if you have a powerful enough gun. A lot of newer players make the mistake of aiming for the hull instead of the turret. Just know that the Tiger IIs are a lot harder to kill head-on, so flanking is a must, if possible. And they tend to go against IS-2's, which have pretty meh armor. Besides, the Leopard (tier V German medium) is considered to be the best tank in the game, so the Russian bias isn't that strong.

World of Planes in generally regarded as utter garbage anyway, even people who are big fans of Wargaming. I don't have really problems with my mouse in that regard, might give it a shot at some point, will see. Really looking for an online game with some sort of competitive aspect, that doesn't insist on me having a premade group every time I get a chance to play to be able to enjoy it. I think the highest tank I even have unlocked is a T-26 or something, so shouldn't be facing Tiger 2's anytime soon if I get around to playing. Planes I had bit further, mostly played Germans and Brits. Kinda wanted to play it at level before the jet planes started appearing. Preferred sticking to my BF 109s and Spitfires, that is until I started getting rammed to death by Yaks at one point and they'd be left seemingly undamaged. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/CeRUIfXurYhaBmWjMBkt.png) I remember there being threads about it how it had become so common and was taking fun out of the game back at that point. Back then it just seemed to feel like, that if you wanted to have fun with Gaijin's games you had to pick Soviets. So the tanks go up to Cold War era? I was also initially curious about Armored Warfare, but it seems to have died out a bit.

I was also initially curious about Armored Warfare, but it seems to have died out a bit. I liked the Wyoming, but the New Mexico is a huge improvement over both it, and the New York that bridges the gap between the 2. Can't say I'm surprised to hear that about WoP. My mouse is a cheap wireless mouse, so, in hindsight, I probably shouldn't be surprised that it gave me issues. Ooh, yeah, you're not going to have much luck vs, T-34s at that level of the tank trees. I'd be surprised if you could handle early Panzer IIIs and IVs. As for the head-ons, not many head-on rammers now, but ramming in general is still an issue. Still have to try avoiding head-ons with Russian fighters due to their nose-mounts weapons. But then, that's the same with all planes equipped with nose-mounted weapons. Yeah, and so do the planes. The T-62 was added in after the 3 T-54s, and they've also dropped in tanks that fire missiles (forget what they're called in-game). The German Maus is in the game too, but that's been there since I started playing. I do remember killing a Panther II with a Panzerwerfer (Panzerwerfer is a tier II premium half-track rocket-platform, while the Panther II is tier V medium tank that precedes the Leopard), though it was sheer luck.

Recetnly put a new video card in my old Dell Vostro box (my current machine, not my new one). And its really great to get a decent card in this old thing again. Picked up Mankind Divided off the steam sale, and am enjoying it so far. But I, like all the reviews say, you have to be real careful about where you put your points. And, still in the mindset of human revolution, I wasn't that careful. Seems like they put the praxis point distribution just ahead of the difficulty curv, to make you want to spend real world money on one time use kits. Mind you, thats one time forever, not per character. So I re-loaded an old save, so I could put the points where I need them. If your not going for a combat run through, then you should put your points into hacking and resistances (toxic gas, electricity resistances, ect.) That way, you can use the various back entrances the game provides you with. Cloak would also be your better bet. Its going to be tough to reload the save, w/out beating the game. But, its what I need to do *sigh*.

We're on internet lockdown for the end of the month so I'm playing off-line. Right now it's Disciples III, which I never finished and now remember why (soooooo slow) and Burnout Paradise on the XBone, when I can pry the controller out of someone else's hands.

I bought the rest of Life is Strange when it was on sale last week and made it through Ch. 2 today. Still don't like Chloe much, or really much of anyone, except maybe Warren. I have to play this game in small doses since I also don't like the interface or game mechanics. Still, I'm interested enough to see how it all ends.

Currently doing Starcraft 2 Co-op mode with the DLC commander Nova, and it's a blast I must say. There's a holiday xp bonus that's allowed me to level her up pretty quickly which is rather nice.

Dragon Ball Budokai 3 (a game released in 2004) albeit heavily remodeled by me to fit my need at creating videos. It's what I've done to most games I've played so far but never created videos until recently to show mods and textures of my creation.

I prefer War Thunder, myself. A lot less arcadey (yes, that's a word now- I declare it to be so) and your playstyle has to sometimes be altered based on what vehicle you are using. And it's cross-platform (PS4, PC, and Mac). Leaning curve is a bit steeper, though, and you need to watch the battle-ratings of the vehicles you have since that's what determines what make-ups you run into (for example, having a plane with a 1.7 battle-rating will have you run into pre-WWII planes, while having a plane with a 6.0 battle-rating will have you run into late-WWII planes). MM depends on the highest battle-rating you have, so you need to pace yourself while researching to avoid having only 1 vehicle that isn't completely out-classed by the competition. Personally, I think that the battle-rating that MM looks for should be an average of the vehicles you have so that you don't end up with vehicles that are utterly useless (ran into a match where a pre-WWII AA car was mixed in with post-WWII tanks, and also a few where pre-WWII biplanes were tossed in with mid-WWII planes, but that is on those players). I suggest giving it a try. The grind isn't that bad (no grinding a single vehicle to research the next one (been grinding my B1 for way too long and still haven't gotten the BDR)), and tank battles and air battles rolled into one, so only 1 real download. I know I used to play War Thunder, but the far too obvious Russian bias back when I was playing it, turned me off from it. I am happy with WoT. I won't touch Gaijin's products anymore, I know there are others who feel the same, not because of the bias but because they just aren't that great of a developer towards their customers. Wargaming tends to communicate bit better. Bussian Rias? What era was that. The one where I was wrecking everything with Stuarts, the one where I already graduated to Shermans, or the era where I use Pattons to murderize everything in sight?

In general, I've noticed that Russian planes tend to shred other planes fairly easily (I've gotten multiple gunner kills with the tier I light bombers, and several cannon kills with my IL-2s), though, for me, when it comes to the fighters, I'm lucky if I can get a crit. Yet, I've gotten multiple easy kills with my P-63A-10 and P-61, as well as my Ta-154 (though, tbh, the Ta-154 is devastating with its twin 30mms and twin 20mms mounted in the nose). As for tanks, Russia has good tanks at all tiers, and sometimes more than the other nations. Thing is, if you don't know the weaknesses of the Russian tanks, you're not going to have a good time against them, so I think that's where a lot of the complaining comes from. I love using my Russian tanks, especially since I have the T-54 and Su-122-54 (IS-3 coming soon, hopefully), though I tend to avoid the Russian planes since I generally have bad luck with them. I want to like the US and British tanks, but they both seem pretty meh until tier IV (love using my M6A1, though).

Got back from the grocery store & my 9 year-old son was playing this classic: ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/sckWlwSgJzzdm/giphy.gif) ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png) So cool... it's like a subtle homage to Super Metroid!!

I want to like the US and British tanks, but they both seem pretty meh until tier IV (love using my M6A1, though). Early M2 (before they increased the rate of fire, as I recall) should use Stealth belts, because awesome. Late M2 (increased rate of fire) becomes a flamethrower with Tracer belts (full API-T). M3 is rather... poor in the game right now, due to the massive rate of fire and low ammunition supply. Also MiGs tend to respond much better to 20mm democracy than a .50. As for armor, Sherman tanks around 5.0 are beastly. I murder Tigers and 34-85s on a regular basis. You can actually hull-down much better than any other nation, thanks to your massive depression. Frontally, for Tigers, aim between the radio operator's and driver's viewports. Often, you can kill both the gunner and the driver that way. For T-34s, the turret ring/"neck" is where you want to aim. It's more or less guaranteed to penetrate, and will knock out the turret at the very least - good chances to murder the hull crew as well. Any earlier, and just aim for turret cheeks, T-34-76(57) with the mod 1940 turret has less than 40mm armor.

Yeah, I know where to aim (I've killed Tigers and T-34-85s with my M6A1), it's just that the German and Russian tanks inherently have better guns and armor, which means your best chance for knocking them out is to aim for their weakpoints while all they have to do is look at you to be able to pen. Also, it's tricky to go hull-down when the Sherman is as tall as it is. I loved using my M22 Locust, though (killed quite a few T-34s by knocking out their engine and hiding under their gun depression while pressed up to their side and repeatedly penning their hull), it's just that the gearbox kept screwing up to the point where I'd be at over 2700 RPM and only be moving 7km on flat terrain, which got me killed way too often. The US tanks I have atm are the M4A1 (76) W, the M6A1, the M4A3 (105), the M18, and the M24. Researching the M4A3E2 atm. As for the planes, I've got the P-63 (both A models), the P-61, the P47, and the B-25J-20 while researching the P-38J-15 (don't have the new Hellcat, the cannon Corsair, or the B-17 because I'm watching how fast I raise my BR). As for the Russian planes, I have the Yak-7B, the LAGG-3-35 and LAGG-3-66, the Mig-3-34, the 1941 and 1942 models of the IL-2, and the SB-2M-103 while I'm researching the 105 model. Combined, I've gotten more kills with my IL-2s and SB-2Ms (both the 100 and 103) than I've gotten with my dedicated fighters. Maybe it's just that I'm using the early fighters, but they seem pretty meh, imo. At least they're more useful than the early Japanese fighters (I can't seem to land any hits with them, let alone get kills). Granted, I haven't gotten to the Zeroes, but still.

Jumbo really isn't that hot. I prefer the superior armament of the 76mm guns. Yes, I played it quite a bit, but that was way back when I had a friend playing Germany at that tier, and his Tiger was inferior in armor to my Jumbo. The pay off was that he could kill things whereas I could not. Plus the hull MG is a major weakspot that everyone seems to know about today. The 76mm guns allow for penetrations up to... 500 meters? That's way more than you usually need in Derp Thunder. The mobility is also much better than the Jumbo, especially when you get to 5.3 and Easy Eight with the HVSS. My preferred line up will tell you otherwise, but Jumbo isn't the hottest thing Americans can have at or around 5.0. With five crews, I most usually bring this: F6F-5 Hellcat, M18 Hellcat, M4A3E2 Jumbo, M4A3E8 "Easy Eight", M4A1 76(W). Why? Preferences, really. I rarely get to pull more than three crew in any single battle. The Hellcat is comparable to the P-51D (of which I only upgraded the D-5), the other Hellcat is the best tank destroyer in the game, the Jumbo is... kind of there, the E8 fills my main tank's role, and the M4A1 is only preferred to the M4A2 because I already had that crew trained for the A1, not because it's better.

Yeah, I figured that based on the max pen. I just wanted a US tank that could take some hits. Honestly, I'm still working my way through all the trees, and I stick to Arcade, so I just take the best vehicles I have available.
