Japanese and Italian planes and tanks...
absolutely disappointed by the terrible joke about the Warrior.... 8.0 and higher than bmp2, 180k more RP needed and nearly double the SL for buying+crew....... this is a nasty farce and needs to be corrected ASAP!!!
The Warrior has a powerful ATGM, the Milan 2 with 750mm of penetration!
Maverick966, atgms barely work in this game as of now, its a useless vehicle.
Please explain why the M1IP has a repair cost that is 288% higher than leo 2A4?
because the leopard 2a4 has the highest win rate in the game and if the Abrams will cost the same the germans crybabies would awake again like before 1.79
The grind is still terrible, it took me almost 2 months to unlock Panther D by Tiger H1. Please consider student players that have no money or credit card, I really like this game and I would like to support it but I have no money to buy GE, neither have plenty of time to play since I need to study hard. The game has an excellent simulation and realistic model-damage that never emerged in other game. But, because of the grind, I don't recommend this game if you're poor. TBH unlocking is not fun.
cool
When will the tasks to unlock the helicopter CB be available?

Ouiche, No dust here comrad =) Let the targets (ehm helicopters) out of the stable. My Spaas are waiting :)
Thank you almighty snail for the new content. For the next update please fix bombers. It's like they are made of paper now. Oh and how about those naval vessels?
Most bombers and planes over tier 2 are literally tin cans, and suffer from their tails being shot off by a few machine guns rounds, while the rest of the planes' bodies can withstand damage their tail sections can not.
LSPRaven, Bombers were nerfed big time because many incompetent cry baby (cough, cough) "fighter pilots" wanted all bombers to be guaranteed easy kills. Ignoring fact that less than 3% of USA bombers were downed on the vast majority of combat missions flown. However, in W.T. the bomber loss rate is something like, what?, 90+% each battle. GAIJIN buckled under to appease the cry-babies on the forums. Now we can't get battles started in Air SIM because of lack of players. Air SIM has become fighter duels.
I see that you have not thought about the possibility that Russia and the USA go together against Germany and Japan in 10.0, having only them helicopters. Great injustice for nations that do not have those vehicles. A great success Gaijin, seriously. Thanks for destroying this wonderful game!
Thank you so much for fixing the cannon on the P.108A. Small fix but it makes the planes playable and shows that even if quietly things get fixed.
As an Englishman, I formally request we don't get any combat helicopters. Just give us the Harrier & Sea Harrier.
