Gaijin is more than a little off when it comes to their physics on traction and torque. I got a WTF moment playing British on the map with the big red-ish fortress ruin(don't remember the name of it.) None of my belted vehicles could get up steep wall mounds, but my Ratel 90 and Eland, NP at all. A question to players reading this.. The Ratel 90, it says on the sheet that it's top speed is 105 km/h, but how fast have you guys gotten it up to? My best speed was on the Cargo port map on the freeway running north-south, I barely managed to get it up to 68 before I left the battlefield. It accelerate so fff.....ing slllllow.

The A-20 was one of the early attackers I got and I rode that thing into the ground, played so many arcade, air assault, and RB games with it. It's such a fun plane to fly, and what I love most is the 6 guns in the nose. People underestimate you because it has a bomber profile, but you can whip those guns out on them and blast 'em. I wish there were even more game modes that I could use it on.

[@Dante-nc7wg]

[@TheMarioMan08]

I have only been using the U.S for both planes and tanks and have clocked 40ish hours, I'm only at a 3.7 BR. I progress sooooo slow. I have resorted to just watching phly as well.

[@maksmail]

​@@TheMarioMan08 Grinding past this point without premium will be slow unfortunately. But watch good players like Phly and always try to learn their tricks. And always when you die take 5 seconds to think why. Sometimes the game is tough because you think more about killing than surviving.

[@maksmail]

Also if you decide to invest into premium, War Thunder has sales. The cheapest premium is yearly in may, about 40€ for whole year if IRC. And before it is grinding event. If you grind the top vechicle and sell it on marketplace, you will make enough money to buy yearly premium and perhaps even some for tier 3 premium vechicle that helps you with SL grind even more.

the hurting A-20 approach was really cool. these planes sustained combat like that very well and were super effective at their job, and getting boys home.

[@NoahLoydOG]

All I remember about War Thunder back in the day was never, ever being able to catch the A-20s or A-26s, whatever it was, that would zoom in like a rocket to bomb, pull back up to altitude faster than any fighter I could fly, wait out the bomb reload and come back in to drop again. I remember researching all the fast Russian fighters in a desperate attempt to catch up, but I never did. It was some kind of phenomenon going on at the time.

[@davidthomas2870]

I remember using the A-20 in pve mode to use the rockets to obliterate bombers and the turrets to farm assists on the way by the bombers. Worked pretty well

[@chewykalden3967]

it would be the worst premium in the game by a long shot - god awful platform (think po-2 but worse in every way) - bazooka rockets fly at some 81m/s, over 4 times slower than the m8 rockets in this video - bazooka rockets are accurate out to only 200m in the best of conditions - nonexistent splash damage from 60mm shaped charge - you get all of 3 bazooka shots before you have to rearm - nothing in terms of defensive armament unless you count shooting a 1911 out of the cockpit it would be pretty funny as a meme plane, but if you're gonna charge real money for pixel plane it should at least be remotely effective

@@chewykalden3967 It would be terrible in the game agreed, but a Grasshopper custom outfitted with 6 M-1 bazookas (And later upgraded to m9 models), Rosie the Rocketeer, actually had an impressive career. The pilot, Charles Carpenter, had six official kills (2 of which were tiger tanks), but it's believed his unofficial count is much higher. At the very least 14-15 tank kills is believed to be the unofficial numbers. Though he also killed multiple armored vehicles and an unknown amount of infantry.
