Luxembourg in this game: -Had a Communist civil war which just consisted of the head of state being shot. -Had a Fascist civil war which just consisted of the new head of state being shot. -Held a referendum to turn Fascist anyways. -Sent 25 small brigades on a road trip across England and Scotland. -Denounced American ideals while claiming the rightful Luxembourger territory of Newfoundland. -Declared war on the USA, thus calling in Britain who's government didn't notice the large amount of Luxembourger tourists with weapons standing around every important building in London and other cities. -Received the British capitulation, giving Italy the well-deserved occupation zones of Northumberland and the Scottish Highlands. -Funded Luxembourger sleeper agents in America to promote Fascist ideas. -Captured Moscow. -Smuggled weapons and supplies to pro-Fascist Luxembourger sympathisers in Florida, leading to the outbreak of the 2nd American Civil War. -Annexed their traditionally held land in Siberia and Mongolia. -Approached their Russian puppet government with an offer of exactly 500 boats. -Convinced the Russians that them accepting the gift of 500 boats meant that they were incredibly stupid and thus unable to be trusted to make their own decisions. -Entered the year 1946 and realised that the Luxembourg Air Force should consider using these unusual and radical aircraft called 'close air support' and 'naval bombers'. -Was pushed out of Florida, resulting in the oppression and persecution of the famous Luxembourger community in the state. -Was inspired by Germany's 'Around the Maginot' through Belgium and performed the 'Around the Panama' through Colombia. -Encouraged the Inuits in the North-West of Canada to rise up, who were then immediately crushe.. liberated by the USA. The new new head of state then became increasingly frustrated with the current state of geopolitics and shot himself.

"World of Tanks has been perfected for a long time" APCR rounds: Hold my beer

[@TheRedKing247]

Sigh this shit again. You can't buy APCR rounds with gold anymore. That means that to spam APCR rounds, you have have to spend a lot of credits, and if you do that you're not going to make a profit in the game and are probably going to lose money, meaning you'll have to play games where you don't spam APCR rounds to make up for it. APCR rounds are balanced at this point. You only use them if you're in an "Oh shit" situation and you really really need to penetrate a tank coming at you, else you're wasting your hard earned credits. It's much better and more skillful to try and aim at weakspots in a tank.

[@timohuhnholz]

@@TheRedKing247Yea, you're pretty much right but sometimes caring about your credits too much is bad lol. And tbh, shooting a few special rounds doesn't really hurt. And I don't have premium account. (I do have premium tanks though so eh)

@@timohuhnholz Absolutely my dude. Theres just a lot of factors that go into their use as WoT is actually a pretty mechanically deep game where it can be hard to unpack it and explain to the War Thunder fanboys that they have no idea what they're talking about. If only they had actually tried to understand the game rather than being a bunch of raging manchildren who got pissed that they sucked at the game. Believe me, I was one. I just didnt jump ship to go suck Gaijins dick and instead actually stuck around and learned the armor, health and camoflage systems with the help of community guides and such.

[@timohuhnholz]

@@TheRedKing247 Yep. I think it's always useful to play and understand both WoT and WT. And you can't compare and say which one is the better one as they are both really unique.

@@timohuhnholz Exactly. WT is a good game its just not my cup of tea, but seeing these thunderheads constantly in the comment sections bashing on World of Tanks just gets fucking annoying.
