I had no clue the Lorraine 155mm was in this game, crazy. I only recognised it from WoT

it was an event vehicle 300 years ago

you can’t obtain it anymore

One of my critique points of Vehicle Exclusivity. There are so many awesome vehicles in War Thunder that so many players do not even know about due to artificial scarcity and gatekeeping.

moron teammates who insist on facehugging enemy tanks or who knowingly drive in to and then stop under artillery marking shells should not be able NOT to forgive artillery TK. It should be automatic forgiveness with no SL penalty at all. So sick of this crap. Has happened 3 times this week, and always a facehugger or some kid who just drives like a bot and then curses at you when you apologize.

How might one learn these ancient ways?

Just fly in a circle and yeet arhs at everything your radar picks up.

Anyone ever noticed the snake pattern of uncontrolled UAVs? This is easily the most annoying thing ever, if a player goes out of the UAV without setting orbital mode it should just crash into the ground.

This wavy pattern just makes them harder to kill with AHEAD and other proxy shells.

Ooooor you might not be able to kill them because when they’re maneuvering they’re invincible? ( Surely not amirite devs)

AI “bomber” Sabres and scimitars do the same in air sim. It’s very annoying.

but that’s kinda the point of this pattern?

regardless of the pattern, as RunaDacino said, it “might” be related ( it is)

Unattended UAV should just crash into the ground or fly in a straight line imo, like Runa said, it appears to be a bug that affects all AI aircraft

Problem is, I highly doubt you can maintain such a snaking pattern without bleeding off all your speed and falling out of the sky.

Not this consistently. Not without stopping and unloading your wings to pick up some speed.

you underestimate the power of a small drone

my FPV drone can Take off vertically with 2.5kg additional payload

and mine is very similar in construction to the one we have as Recon drone in game

additional information: my drone is a Civilian one and I have EASA Drone Certification

So criticizing War Thunder and popular correct takes are bait to you… stunning and brave. :)

Sucks that only one is semi indigenous.
And the rest go according to the top row lol.
Still a chuckle worthy meme

They are also incorrectly translated for the most part.

The SPBV 90 is actually just “Armored Personnel Carrier”

So is the Pansarskyttfordon, but yes, indeed is the funny.

As for ItPsV, it just stands for Anti-Aircraft tank.

I know I am answering meme, but it’s wrong on so many levels.

After 1 min. with google:

USA

  • “M” Model, for all things used by the Army and Marines that was in service.
  • “T” Test, for all things that was in service test, prototyping, or just in blueprints.

USSR

  • “SU-” Samokhodnaya Ustanovka or self-propelled carriage, use for all SPGs, Tank Destroyers and Assault Guns
  • “T-” tankovyi or Tank, use by almost every tank, just a few didn’t use “T” such as KV, IS, and SMK.
  • “BT-” Bystrokhodnyi Tank or Fast Tank, used by the BT-2 and BT-5 tanks.

France

  • “AMX” Atelier de Construction d’Issy-les-Moulineaux or Workshop Construction of Issy-les-Moulineaux, used by all tanks made by AMX.
  • “FCM” Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée or Ironworks and Yards of the Mediterranean, used by the FCM-36 (not yet in this game)
  • “ARL” Atelier de Construction de Rueil or Construction of workshop Rueil, used by the ARL-44
  • “SOMUA” Societé d’Outillage Mécanique et d’Usinage d’Artillerie or Society of Mechanical Tools and Machining Artillery, used by the PzKpfw 35S and S-35 (not yet in this game) tanks

Germany

  • “PzKpfw” Panzerkampfwagen or Armored Fighting Vehicle, used by all tanks
  • “StuG” Sturmgeschütz or Assault Gun, used by all SPG that are classified as Assault Guns
  • “E-” Entwicklung or development or standard, used by all late war tanks in the Entwicklung series.
  • “VK” Versuchskonstruktion or Experimental Construction / Prototype, used by most prototype tanks.

So more or less “Nordic” tanks got same “philosophy” like other countries. Now I am curious why “Nords” do not give “nickname” for their vehicles. Or they do it, but no one care?
