Reconsider the firepower of Allied tanks

In particular, this applies to takon machine guns.
Extremely low damage leads to the fact that the enemy soldier receives several shots from 50 cal. and 30 cal. at the same time and at the same time it can even survive and simply escape.
To me, this situation is extremely absurd.
Machine gun point 30 cal. Shakes the enemy more, running past he can even demonstratively show his ass, and then run on.
Manual is 30 cal. such problems, its fire performance is not inferior to its analogues.
I propose to increase the damage dealt to allied tank machine guns.
These things were created to instill fear and effectively destroy the enemy, and not to make him laugh.
In general, when playing as allies, you get the feeling that you have an air weapon and throwing a stone will cause more damage, the exception here is perhaps only T20.

Afaik, all MGs do the same dmg.
Allied tank MG are also better because they heat slower and have high ammo count.

Most of the high caliber guns have the same issue, you are barely able to damage a player by shooting from a plane but yet everyone gets immediately killed by a buttstock hit

Could be worse.
Could be whatever the japanese tank MGs are pretending to do

I played all the tanks, unlike you, your statements are inappropriate.
50 cal. in this game it is good only in stationary execution.
On a tank its effectiveness is extremely low.
And worse than 30 cal. There are only Japanese machine guns in this game, the developers need to introduce a mechanic that allows them to be removed and thrown away immediately, extra weight xD

50 cals are better then 30 cals, sure they overheat faster, but they can penetrate and BR1 japanese (some german) and some BR2 japanese tanks (along with the puma and the premium 50mm TD), as well as being very effective against planes.

And you needed to play all tanks to find that one out? Just looking at the data sheet would have saved a lot of time for you, I guess.
I also dont know how this is connected to my point that all normal tank MGs do the same damage, never mentioning the M2HB to begin with.

Don’t listen to him just stop giving him money and he will disappear as you can see he is Allies bias at the moment they are really the strongest faction and they have not only better vehicles machine guns they have better ground support and at BR II you can equip 2 lightings and dominate all the sky on BR III the Axis and Japan have no good fighters with bombs to be honest there is only 1 BR where Germany is better and this is BR I all other BRs are dominated by better allies equipment without BR V but even there if you check the premium squads there is a squad with 5 MG 42 guys with 100 bullets and even Germany can’t have that… its just ridiculous how much the devs neglected the other factions … BR’s Like BR III for Japan and Axis are just terrible and on BR II the lightings are dominating everything to how much little skill this plane takes and the ability that you can equip 2 on ground attacker and on fighter so if you get shot you spawn the second and you kill your killer only US can do that…

Axis now has mg42 with 100 belt in TT finally. So they have it…

The allies copy is worse than the 1919, so it’s mostly just for show :thinking:

Well you can have 3 in a squad with US you dont need to farm you can directly pay 2 win buying 5 guys with 100 round mg 42 that you gonna grind all your life why grind when you can pay 40 USD for 5 guys with it then grind for 3 guys with MG 42 …and you have the paras with 100 rounds lately US is turning to a very pay2win faction i mean for 80 USD you can have 2 of the best squads in game.

Maybe…

But Personally I prefer the ss guys with mg45.

For ultimate (albeit short) “BRRRRRTTTTT”

Not ideal for sustained fire, but it’s a click enemy vanish weapon. So fun!

The minimal 50 belt is manageable thanks to coke addict (pervitin?) reloading speed!

But I’m not saying either allies or axis are stronger than the other. (Axis should have it’s FW fixed thought)

Imo, only Japan needs new things. A lot new things.

Well not only German fighter planes really suffer from lack of bombs there is BR like BR III that the axis planes don’t have bombs at all. The most balanced BRs are BR V and BR IV the BR I is almost ok some factions can get more stuff but the BR II and BR III are very heavy allies dominated do to some vehicles and guns… and Japan I’m not gonna start with them they need a lot … and yes the FW needs a fix but also when it comes to premiums there is nothing to buy really all the things that I buy are allies and the squads that US have are P2W even the soviets are not that P2W compared to US squads that you can buy German premiums are meh only the BR I paras are good and Japan is nothing worth buying … the paratrooper squad is the only thing you can consider since its BR IV with BR V weapon but you can equip 9 guys with the same weapon then 6 while with US you can have 6 para assaulters with better weapon then the tech tree and 5 lmg guys with better weapons then the tech tree really if the devs continue adding such squads the entire game will turn to P2W.

We are essentially conducting a dialogue about nothing.
This is a computer game, we play it, like we’re at war with someone.
I don’t see any point in discussing the topic - can a person survive after several hits to the body from a HUGE machine gun?

BL1

my Gawd, reconsider more to Japanese lack of coax MG. inklude Ho-Ri absolute lack it as well as no cupola pintle MG it suffer from a slight bomb will harm entire crew for no reason just coz it has open hatch when gun pointing too low
Japan from BR I only have MG hull up to BR V
instead of reconsider allied, reconsider Japanese tanks firepower

not to mention between Japan’s crappy BR III on War Thunder B5N2 is a BR 1.3 vs TBF Avenger at BR III is a BR 2.7 on WT. B5N2 complete no forward offensif armament. TBF Avenger have crazy good pair of it M2HB as well being tough armored, far better engine to lift all those armament and steel plate sealing fate of its safe pilot. in a same BR Japan air power are hampered utterly no breath. since allied fighter and bomber could also wield the massive rockets OP galore. imagine at BR II it has like 600-740km/h max speed. japan only keep with 450-510km/h speed beside japan firepower here only 2x7.7mm + 2x20mm at best it’s Zero vs 6x12.7mm most legendary air armament, still used today. really famous one
