really enjoying getting back into the air on this, only playing lower tier but still good.

Yeah, there is a lot of fun to be had at around 2-3.7. At the moment I'm mostly flying around in the MC.202, which is a great aeroplane for its tier.

aaaaaaaaaaand heres a brief guide to why I've stopped playing:

Are you aware that it's satirical?
It would be funny if it wasn't basically a documentary on how 95% of the playerbase is. I laughed at the start then though 'yeah, sums the entire game up
'

I think you're a little confused, Mr Boycey!
Yep, popped on for one game to see if it was worth going back to, utter fail.
Was like watching that vid ingame, got a team that refused to do anything.
If the next update doesnt fix stuff its getting uninstalled, not worth my time anymore.
Besides, it was that pesky wango that forced me to do it

I haven't played WarThunder in a while because Im holding off waiting for the 1.53 update. In the mean time I've been giving Armored Warfare a go
For anyone with Eagles left, looks like there's a 50% sale on between 30th Oct and 2nd Nov, including premiums.

I'd rather let them rot in my account!
So grumpy you guys!
I've got to say, no complaints about the game from me. Not been playing it any more than usual but I'm finding its at its most enjoyable at the moment when (a) not playing top-tier tanks and (b) playing jets but not high-tier props

Ah so you've met Kwango before?
To be fair, I've got largely everything premium that I'm interested in, or that isn't outrageously overpriced, so the Russki-Hurricane, and possibly a low-tier tank interest me. (Maybe the NfPzg-whatever, because it's br 1.3 and packs a 75mm gun with APHE!)
If anyone else has a few Ergles for the sale, I'd recommend the SMK. Because it is a land-battleship, and packs 7 crew members in, so you're rarely short of dudes to take over the guns after you've taken a hit. Also, 2 guns are better than 1! I've had some glorious matches in that tank, causing much rage!
The only real problem it ever faces is KV1's, where even solid AP shells struggle to penetrate it unless you're very close. (A 4-man OcUK squad of these would be.... immense)
Guessing that 1.53 will rock up shortly after the halloween event, because then people will have spent up in the sale, and have to shell out on more Eagles for the mostly-premium incoming tanks. Gaijin logic.

Yep I will be playing this weekend in order to get the mighty po-2
Well, that's disappointing. 
All of the British tanks are being sold individually as a bundle, so you can't even buy them with existing Eagles.
I've just test-driven the BM8-24, and it's a good fun little tank, got in close to the Panther >200m, and blew him up with a salvo of several rockets! Long reload after you've fired all 24, but still... at least you get reloads.
Downsides - It's ****** 3850 Eagles, or roughly £15. For a tier 1 tank, with 2 crew members, that is GUARANTEED to die if 1 of them is killed. i.e. if you survive a hit, its a miracle.
Also, it looks as though the 17pdr in the British tech tree doesn't have any APHE shells, only different flavours of what is effectively solid-shot. Which doesn't kill anywhere near as effectively as it's supposed to.
Oh well, typical greedy Gaijin.
