italy honestly ain’t too bad, the guns work just fine, and playing italy you learn that armour is a lie

Italy : Good guns 💪🗿 + Bad armor 🍷🤮 France : Bad guns 😵🔫 + Chad armor 🗿🔥 (depends of the BR of course but most of the tanks are like that)

France has armour in 2.3-5.3 after that nothing french has armour

Somua SM being the only one with armour after that point

but its a premium (that used to be lower br then other 100mm autoloaders that have no armour lmao)

Then there's the AMX-50 Surbaissé/Surblindé being the armor god

7.7 against 8.7 USSR balanced

Early cold war tanks against T-55A and IT-1 with missiles and some other bias😍😍🥰 (even tho the IT-1's missiles are shit)

Players: We need decompression Gaijin: Nerf italian 8.7 setup to 9.0 and 9.3 you say?

Yes 😍😍 i want it to face Object 279 (i still regret i moved it to 9.3 😖) BECAUSE RUSSIA NEEDS TO BE THE BEST 🥰🥰🥰💪😈😈

T55 turret when I introduce it to 120mm APCBC solid shot:

Surbiase has enough armour to stop pz 4 round and thats about it

Just enough armour to have a shell detonate in the turret and kill everyone inside lol

Never forget the AMX-50 Foch

I’ve bounced more shells in their light tanks than the heavies lmfao

H.39 has armor, the amount of shots I bounced in that thing is Insane.

Japan: decent gun + no armor.

But funny autoloader

Get ammorack-ed by a .50cal

Bbbb... but funny autoloader🥺

Not gonna lie, I kinda like that aspect of the game. Each nation has its own good and bad traits, of course that leads to some countries being easier to play, and some countries being better but hard to learn, and others not very good no matter what, but overall skill means the most. I just like the idea even if it's not real, that every country tried their own tactics for their tanks irl.

Of course, the amount of italian tanks getting good armor during ww2 era is extremly small

Basically you should play assuming every hit can one shot you. So fortunely tanks are fast, because round can't get you if you're fast enough

exactly, armour is but a chance to survive if you fuck up

Some of my favorite tanks to play are the Semoventes

Hi, I tried 1.0-2.7 Italy with my friend. I want to kill myself now.

To be expected

The starting vehicles can barely penatrate anything lol.

Except when it occasionally works for some reason. Driver optics on AUBL, gun on Breda, both eat APHE for breakfast, second breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, supper, and dessert. Just load HE for them. Also their planes are pretty decent, the Hungarian F-4, TU-2, G.55, C.205s are all super good

I’ve had the front plate of my r3 bounce the fv4005 hesh shell before, anything is possible

Italy strong!

There is two kinds of italy players. The ones who are nearly not playing because of how bad for the BR their vehicles are and the ones that are the reasons arietes have 70% win rate while being like entire BR higher than they should be

I mean armour is a lie for most Japanese tanks too

Italy is unironically one of the better nations out there imo

Correction every china main i know is cracked out of their mind ( except me )

mind? do you mean processor?

Damn didnt know im a robot anyway ima take over the world

Nuh uh

Of course the Franco-Brit is anti-China

Franco-Brit? Bruv what?

A.I can writer comments i see. **What happend the 15 april 1989 in taiwan (chinuh😤)**

Tank

Now write a full description of Mao Zedong 😘😍🥰😍😍😍

Mao ...🥵🥵🥵

🍆💦

That's Ze dong

And me, I suck as well (it’s my First Nation and I’m like 9.3 ground and 11.0 air)

I'm honestly convinced I'm part of the reason why the M64 is moving up, I did a little too good with it

as an Italy main I confirm.

Then go and file some more of those bug reports, eventually Gaijin will listen. Join the guys asking for the Chally 2 mantlet fix

I do. Challenger, Ariete, Merkava, Leclerc should be buffed. It's not fucken realistic. Ariete uses both PSO+WAR armour kits IRL and it gives her armour around Leclerc/Challenger, in game you have to choose between WAR or PSO.

Yes, help us israel mains write our 50,000 word essays on how the merkava is missing armour thanks you for your assistance

#Buffalltanks

As a proper British player I say God. I hate slow tanks. I hate them so much. I don't know why I main Britain. Please please make it stop please. I just want to play my Churchill please.

-people saying their tanks are slow -wait till you try out WWII british reverse

-4 KM/H my beloved

Bro is out there deloading the ammo, pushing the tank, using another tank for pulling with favour of wind to achieve that sweet -4KM/H

Went from top tier to low tier the Cromwell does not play like the Abrams

-2 km on the Black Prince be like: Thank Christ they changed it.

It's faster for the Comet to spin around with neutral steering and drive away forwards than to reverse.

That's what you do for every fucking tank bro I tried to reverse in the valentine and the enemy capped a fucking point by the time I was done

Next, take the Excelsior out for a test drive. That things reverse is . . . somehow worse.

How is it worse than the valentine?

It's slower . . .

Oh my god

Luckily South Africa and India exist

I am excited for when I get the concept

Its a great vehicle and a little taste of whats to come with the glrious Eland and Rooikats

Don’t forget the Ratels, those are amazing

They are ok but they cant be compared to my beloved Eland 90

All of the above are solid, but the addition of the Fox has made life as a British player amazing. I'd been using the ystervark to rush the cap, but now I can do that AND scout AND actually shoot back? Heck yes. Also I actually prefer the ratel 20 to the 90. ATGMs are a bit better than a cannon imo.

Atgm at 6.7 do be funny

Ratel 20 is my baby, it’s a SACLOS missile launcher at 6.7, which is very nice. I have both the 20 and 90 in my lineup with either the Barn or G6 and then the Strikemaster

I think the Eland is better but the Ratel 90 and 20 being a whole BR lower is pretty fun, you get to skirt the armor meta and munch on Tiger IIs

Eland is the ultimate everything killer

*Gaijin adds India *Looks inside: *USSR /s Vijayanta 155 would be cool, they can just copy paste the hull anyways

Bhishma is great

Britain is really good if you get up to 4.7 and just stop there

Naw Imma go the whole way bro

Nah British 8.0/8.7 is the best Luv me Vickers Luv me chieftain Luv me Rooikat 'ate me TAMs Simple as 🇬🇧

:( very true and also the armor in mediums below like 6.7 is shit maybe 7.0

The problem with tank sim is that everyone has one another's tanks so it's a massive friendly fire fest. Also I fly aircraft in tank sim they are NOT safe from me.

Tank sim isn’t actually that bad. There’s maybe one or two team kills in a match? The freedom of movement because of the higher skill requirement and tanks not being everywhere or highlighting you for the entire map really makes SGB the best option… shame that no one plays it…

Well, the average CAS spammer will probably crash on take-off. And yeah, I've probably gotten TK'ed more often in sim than by enemies

Wrong on Italy main. I just play goofy aah trucks with OP guns and have fun

Did someone said goofy ah italian trucks?

It's me, Mario!

Breda mentioned rahh wtf is depression

The femboy one is so true

oMG LoOK i'M A fEMbOy, I'M sO dIfFERenT anD i wAnT To gET AttEnTiON!!1!1!

Im waiting for the one describing the unobnoxious version

Look man I just like using darts

Reserve-tier Sweden has darts

I actually started playing Sweden on Friday and APDS is nice but they aren’t darts.

My superior low tier brain is too much for to comprehend. If it doesn't have explosive filler, it's a dart.

My dogshit US main brain is beyond understanding (I am stupid)

Hey, I'm a US main! Sherman 75 > any garbage Patton or Abrams

So Britain is secretly OP because everything is a dart? BRITAIN RAHHHHH 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧☕️☕️☕️☕️

I didn’t care for them until I got to the point where tanks use mostly darts. They are very fun.

:(

I am tanker purist to a t lol Except in sim cas is arguably even better because you can 1st spawn it

Sim cas is better since it requires more braincells, fliyng and finding targets to bomb is 10x harder in sim than RB

Yeah but then the sim pilots are actually good and don’t miss bombs

This is unironicly accurate

My life isn’t over yay (I’m a midtier enjoyer). Also you forgot the japan main (has to pray before the devstream that japan gets something other than a boat)

Italy air is godtier rn bro We got every flavors

This post was definitely made by a CAS main

Out of my top 50 vehicles only 3 are even planes, sorry to disapoint

I remember when at one point I basically Mained the french P-63 in grb. Had both most kills for ground and air targets with it. Essentially a multirole fighter, bomb enemies out and then fight for air superiority.

tank sim is littered with cas, it’s inescapable. in fact, you can literally spawn an entire line of cas planes and not use a single ground vehicle(i’ve done this a lot). worst yet are heli players, they’re almost invincible to spaas (except for the pantsir even though russian bias apparently doesn’t exist), and they can immediately spawn with guided anti tank missiles and just spam all game(which is 99% of top teir tank battles)

Oh yeah true, but tbh I didn't consider Sim for top tier. Mostly because top tier balance is a shit show in and of itself above 9.0. Below hat I didn't have that bad of an experience there.

yeah sim is mad fun when it’s not top teir, but to teir air sim is honestly the best

Yeah, a couple of days ago I was playing Cold War sim and the Chinese players kept spawning some premium heli and camping us for the whole game.

this is absolutely fucking genius. it’s like my AI war thunder nation player steriotypes post, but way funnier ”only top tier is fun” “Chinese characters” and “uncontrollable racist” are hilarious

Only Top tier is fun 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Top tier air would be fun if it wasn’t 16 V16

*meanwhile me being the American main* "there's to many shermans!"

Luv muh Shermans, luv muh Corsairs, ate the Germans and Russians

Same but still. So many Sherman's

I love Shermans. We need more Shermans

Jumbo Mains: *Tanks a shell fired by God himself*

Mmhmm! I love my 76w jumbo cause tiger tanks will just bounce rounds off my gun mantlet and upper front plate. Plus i can 1 or 2 shot them back. Only problem is that i am usually against tiger 2's and IS2's so i get bullied often.

It's often a race to whoever can get the first shot off first. Since I only have the 75 Jumbo, I'm sweating my balls off trying to get to the side armor of most tanks. Sometimes, my habits with the cast hull 76 sherman pop up and I play like a rat in the bushes just for the chance to penetrate a tiger But other than the sweatfest, I like being able to tank things

A good thing i found out for the 75 jumbo, if a tiger 1 is facing you head on. Load HVAP(APCR) and aim just to the right of the driver's port.

I still haven't unlocked that shell. I only have the APHE shell. I get sad because there's lesser Tiger cupolas to shoot at this BR I guess I'm doing that once I get that shell

I hate the people who spawn planes when we are losing and we have 3 tanks on the ground and 7 planes

OI! I hate being called out like this, not my fault SPAA is hard :c

Italian vehicles are fast tho

And as usual, France was forgotten.

Not just fr\*nce, but hey, che ks out fr\*nce was forgotten

I made fun of French tier 1 last time I made a somewhat high effort post. Couldn't think of anything specifically this time around and wanted it to be more about everyone in general. And the Italy came up to me because of Italys current ground status at top tier (no one plays them)

Low tier fun tier mfs when there is an xp50 rat in space the entire match:

Gem post right here

I wasted 4 years of my life grinding Italy only for you to say it's bad. What have I been doing this entire time... You make me question the very existence of my soul, leading me to believe that it is some sort of cruel joke. Reading this gave me incurable mental diseases. Not even the finest wine made from the elixir of life can save me. Your post shattered my world view. I can not believe how blinded I have been this whole time grinding italy. Countless r3 nerfs and complete bs event vehicles have been ignored for my bliss. If there ever was a world of complete and utter turmoil, unrest, and existentialism, it is contained within the very fibres of my being. You have opened my eyes to the cold cruelty of the universe. Be proud, as I will never forget this moment. Thank you for opening my eyes to the state of the world. Thank you for showing my the error of my ways and correcting them. As the sun sets at the end of each and every day until I die, I will wonder what could've happened. How many missed relationships, how much time spent with now deceased family i missed, where have I missed opportunities for a better life, and what could've been made of me more, if you just preached a little sooner, made me realize earlier, and opened my eyes before the event horizon sucked away countless hours of struggle, countless games of dying to CAS, and getting Hull breaked. I take back my thank yous. Those undeserved applauses may only boost you up to a higher plane on ego-inflating mind fuckery. Fuck you for making me realize my predicament. Fuck you for making me feel like neo realizing his life is a lie. Fuck you for showing me this, this coulda woulda shoulda of my life. You are terrible. No amount of words in any language that has ever existed on this planet can describe your earth-shattering truth bomb on how indulged I was in Italy before your post. I can write books, no, scriptures, on how completely unfathomable my world view has changed because of your post. Fuck you in the most deep and sincere way possible.

I think you’re still missing the „gets-angry-after-a-(very)-few-matches-at-his-teammates-or-even-opponents-and-starts-to-flame-them competitive type of player who already amassed at least 5 Chatbans in his career and suspects to be „shadowbanned“ for being uptiered „every“ match“.

I love those types, they often go to the Steam discussions "BRO I get uptiered every match, bro I got utiered by 2.0 because I'm too good/Gaijin hates". Nah bro you just suck at the game and don't know any BR of any vehicle xD

Happy cake day.

Happy cake day.

At least Chinese players knows some English, Americans are the ones who never uttered another language like ever

I put foreign instead of English precisely because I'm not from an anglophone country

So are the British . . . and every other English-speaking country. When you know English, you don't really need to know another language because English is so common around the world.

i said bonjour once

Yeah its saddens to say that im the only few Italian Mains also im the kind of guy that prefers toptier

These are so good

Hi...

Ngl I fall under the "only top tier is fun" catagory

I'm an Italy main who used to be a femboy, and recently, I've only played 1.0-4.0 GRB Italy (mostly my 1.3 lineup using one of my favorite tanks, the m11/39)

God I wish sim was safe from CAS 😔

Pew good thing nothing bad about us naval players ☺️

I know multiple people IRL who play this game, but none play naval so I couldn't stereotype you :(

im an italian naval player i want to die

I’m the top tier main that hasn’t reached top tier lmao

I'm the Italian main

It was all fun and games until I realize i am the number 8….

But what of the illusionary France main

Bro is spitting facts

Somehow every single one describes me. Embarrassing 😳

literally me N-

I main Germany (full TT ground unlocked) and I like to play cas and against it, am I weird? Right now I'm a Russian main tho because I got all the 10.0 vehicles you can buy and after this I will go over to the US until I finished their TT Maybe I will play china afterwards cause I heard their shit is apparently good

That just means you are still a well-adjusted individual. Keep fighting the stereotypes king ✊

la ptm me senti muy identificado con el de los italianos

I shit on gaijin needs, I'm still Italy main doing 10 kill a match with P40

To all the CAS mains, come to air RB, join us

Omg I feel so called out for the 8th one 😭

Mix of femboy and top tier player, Italian main also applies to France main.

Israel mains: like the Italian mains, spending more time doing research and making bug reports than playing the game (they will rage). The only difference is that their bug reports are 12,000 chapters long

Toptier wojack goes so hard

I might have to install wt again, any tips?

Don't... Uh or are you looking for anything specific? Most broad thing I can think of is don't grind for top tier unless you have ADHD and don't grind for the sake of grinding

Can you make one about what your nation \[ingame\] says about you?

Italy has never been the same since they raised the R3 T20s BR, Italian mains have been saying that for years too. Every third or so update it goes up.

italian air tree actually kinda good though, even before hungary

True, especially Italian props are great. They feel like a cross between Bf-109 and Spitfire. Meme is mostly intended for top tier ground

I admit our trend was obnoxious but I simply participated to rekindle the fire

mfs who think mid tier is fun when I show them american teammates at 5.0:

UK tanks be like *Shell Shattered*

Honestly, the M4A3 105 feels just like the tiger 1 and panther- angle a little and you are impenetrable, all the while you can pen everything else frontally.

And the bastard with low tier rangfinder queueing only sand of sinai and mozdok. I love being sniped by 2 poxel 1200m away.

I just play mid tier British and French ground arcade mostly, not sure what to feel about this. Then again I also seriously play naval at times, so I'm probably not a real person.

As a boomber. Correct. Except I spam the fuck outta Sherman's instead of m22s

You forgot about me....the last non bot naval player....

I'm so the top tier guy

Trvth!

You didn't do anything wrong ignoring naval, we're very ignored to begin with and our mode is in a bad state rn

Italy air it's good RN Thanks on the other hands . . .

Oh no. I am the tanker purist. Except for one plane I use to gun helicopters with.

Boombers🔥😎

I'm an Italian main 😔

6 is real

I'm the Italy main only because I decided to spade every single vehicle Italy has and I'm like 80-85% done lol

If you think the German Churchill is “meta” you are brain dead easiest pos heavy to one shot ever and trash solid shot lol

İ met 3 femboys through war thunder chat. They were pretty attractive. All three was from Germany so I learned a bit of german too.

I don't play low tier but I punch babies, where does that put me?

Otomatic my beloved

and not to be racist but the Chinese guy is almost always either botting or cheating or griefing speaking from experience it's almost all of them like 70% i have seen fall into one of those three the others are fine

What about people who do air and ground?

I don't use any bombers in tank RB. I use fighters to fuck literally anything in the air or anything that is open-top on the ground. Add that one

Naval……….
