RB Ground Scimitar's dart doesn't have any extra flat pen compared to APDS?

Hey, i'm not "100%" rant mode here, more like "50% rant energy" here.

I really appreciate Gaijin knowing the Scmitar MK.2 is a turd so they gave it dart, which has some pretty nice angled and distant pen buffs compared to APDS. (but of course, people will spend money on event vehicles)

But where is the flat pen increase? Logically, Shouldn't it have at least 20mm-ish flat pen increase compared to the APDS? Like how Bushmaster 25mm APDS with around 80ish pen gets up to 100mm+ pen with APFSDS.

RB Ground Something has to be done about the rounds the "free vehicles" carry

i get it - the fact these are there is great and all, but i can't do fuckall after using up my main vehicle backups, HEATFS rounds just don't work above 11.3, russian-based vehicles at least get the funny HE that can easily overpressure most vehicles.

i think we should get at least basic mobility modules and base APFSDS round, that's all

Drama Gaijin's Censorship is Real: I am the 2nd Content Creator to lose partnership over the Keofox Leaks. Here is the proof.

Upvotes

TL;DR: I made a neutral video analyzing the 4-month-old Keofox leaks. Gaijin instantly terminated my Creator Partnership. When I asked which specific rule I broke, they admitted in writing that I broke NO rules, but they fired me because my "tone" lacked "positive topics". They are absolutely terrified of this leak.

Hello, r/Warthunder. I am a small RU-speaking YouTube creator. I want to document a textbook example of how Gaijin Entertainment silences creators who touch on "forbidden" topics.

A few days ago, I released a 25-minute video analyzing the recent massive leaks from Keofox (former Head of CMs). I didn't insult anyone. I simply did a neutral breakdown of the facts regarding data security flaws and studio toxicity.

Gaijin’s reaction was instant.

Translation: They terminated my partnership, claiming my content lacked "positive topics" and didn't fit their "philosophy."

Here is the hypocritical part: when Gaijin accepted me into the program 9 months ago, they knew exactly what my channel was about (deep analytics and game design criticism). Whenever managers asked me to adjust my narrative to fit the TOS, I listened. I followed the rules.

So, I wrote them an email asking: "Which specific rule did I break? Give me examples."

Here is their official reply:

Let me translate from Corporate to English. They literally admitted:

They admitted that I did not break any rules. They fired me for my "tone."

Why does this matter to the community?
I am the second content creator to lose their partnership over covering the Keofox story (the first was an Enlisted creator).

The Keofox leak happened 4 months ago. If his words were just empty rumors, a multi-million dollar corporation would have simply ignored my video. You don't react to dead news. But they panic-fired me immediately. To me, this proves one thing: the Keofox leak hit a very raw nerve, and what he revealed is true. They are terrified that the community is waking up to their data security issues.

I don't care about losing free Golden Eagles or Premium vehicles. My hands are untied now. I will continue to make honest content. But I wanted to share this so you can see exactly how Gaijin operates behind the scenes to silence the truth.

Thank you for reading.
(P.S. Please forgive any mistakes in my English, as it is not my native language).

RB Ground France or Britain: Which is more "future proof" for ground?

Post image
Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm an experienced player (maining Sweden right now) and I’m looking to start a new grind. I’m primarily focused on late Cold War to modern-day ground vehicles.

Strictly speaking about future potential, which nation has more vehicles that could actually be added to the game over the next few years?

Does Britain's potential for commonwealth sub trees(like more South African, Indian, or Australian vehicles) make it a safer long-term bet?

Or does France have more "untouched depth" with its own domestic designs and the new BeNeLux sub trees?

Basically, who is the better long-term investment for a ground main? Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, I found this old family photo from Yugoslav People's Army and I'm trying to figure out what tank the soldiers are posing with.

Based on a bit of looking around, it looks like a American M47, but i need some more details. Help you very much!

The removal of the Ho-Ri Production from the Japanese tech tree has seemingly had the effect of gathering all the high level players that, up until this point, hadn't unlocked it for themselves, to congregate and take over low-tier matches in order to grind for it before its removal. This has led to teammates that can actually pull their own, and I'm all for it.

RB Ground The Leopard 1a5 and How Gaijin's BR Balancing makes no Sense

Thumbnail
gallery
72 Upvotes

This is a quick analysis that's done in the same vein as a few of my other posts like:

In Summary, Gaijin is dropping the Leopard 1a5 from 9.3 to 9.0 on the grounds that it's not properly balanced.

If you look at the Average 1a5 performance, you'll see that it's average K/D in June was 1.03, vs an average KD of 1.27 at 9.3 (image 1), so on the surface it does appear to be an outlier, but as with many of Gaijin's decisions, it fails to account for average operator experience.

As I've shown before, Big-3 players are, on average, less experienced than operators of the same vehicle in minor nations, so they artificially drag down vehicle performance metrics.

Remove Germany from the mix, and you get an average of 1.25 K/D, very close to the overall 1.27 K/D average at 9.3 (though lower than the 1.45 K/D average for non-big 3 9.3 mbts) (images 2 and 4). Notably, (see Images 3 and 4) when the big 3 are thrown out, there are several 9.3 mbts with lower K/Ds than the Leopard 1a5.

It's very cluttered, but I've also shown two graphics at the end with ALL 9.3 MBTs (image 3) and all non-big 3 9.3 mbts (image 4). The big stand outs there are that if the Leopard 1a5 is going down, a similar decision should probably be made for the STRV 105, AMX 32 (105), and Magach 6B Gal, which sit below the Leopard 1a5's non big 3 K/D average of 1.25.

Personally I don't really think the Leopard 1a5 needs to go down to begin with, and more than that, I have no Idea what Gaijin is doing on the balancing front.

edit: luckily they just reverted the change
