I use the Logitech G602 and the wheel has 2 buttons rite below it that locks it and the other one locks it and its an easy click I love the Logitech mouse with a crap load of programmable keys on the side and the top by the left and right main keys. But I luv to click the lock and the wheel scrolls forever till I lock it again. Since I found this one it puts others to shame I have had.

A meaningless hull armor buff that will get penned by anything at your own BR, and even some tanks tanks in a down tier won’t make it “better”. All this hollering will do is get the UFP (which is unrealistically bouncing things it shouldn’t, & isn’t even lining up with the state of the art simulation even in events where shells bounce, as in game they don’t kill your turret ring, and breech instantly after deflecting, like they do in the armor sims) NERFED, then the entire hull will be a technical GREEN ZONE for high grade APFSDS. Which I DONT WANT, I want the armor to be trolly, not predictable, and pen-able all around. It has a play style, if you refuse to use it, the Abrams won’t vibe with you. I’m seeing all these 12+ kill & Nuke matches in the Abrams tanks, & have to think that some players just want things easy. Everyone will just aim for your breech, and HE the roof anyway.

As a newer and semi-decent player, it's really helpful to me when you explain your resoning behind all of the things you so in battle, moving positions, whether or not to take shots, etc. My positional awareness isnt great, so to see how a veteran player uses map and scouting information to make a decision on how to move forward with a battle is really helpful. Being able to see good habits in gameplay and learn to implement those strategies and habits in my own gameplay is really helpful.

"Anyone can play it if I can do well in it." Says the guy with like 20,000 hours in the game.

funny that the 122B managed to become even more op because of the spall liner, and the 122B+ should be even more survivable than it is, because of it having a stronger NERA internally, like hte 2a4 evolution rather than the exact same as the 122B

I am glad that when I maneuver around the battlefield, its not in 3rd person view but through the optics. Me being a retired Abrams Crewmember, I do a fender to fender scan for targets. the only thing I dont like the thermals in War Thunder is the fact that it doesnt replicate the exact thermal system you would use on an Abrams. You definitely can distinguish a tank in a treeline alot more than what you see in game. Also, as a tank crew, you always move in either sections (two tanks) or a platoon (four tanks) You guys can conduct a hasty defense while making your way to the objective. and when moving as a section, one holds position and scans for targets while the other one moves to find a better battle postion (BP).

Exact opposite for me with the logitech G502. I actually tried several other mice after my old G502 was finally at a point where I could no longer justify using it, although still not broken after 8 years or so, but I just couldn't get used to them, in part because of the infinite-scroll mouse wheel. It's just so ingrained into my routine that not having it gave me withdrawal, so I ended up buying the G502 lightspeed.

Hey the logitech mice scroll wheel has a toggle on the mouse itself when on it just keeps spinning (great for zeroing at low br's) but when off it acts and feels like normal mouse

Hey Odd! I recommend the razer basilisk v3. you can make the scroll wheel free moving or keep it like every other mouse wheel. I has a great feel and its fairly weighted by itself. Also its wireless and the battery lasts forever

3:50 iirc the mouse wheel on those ones had a button to lock it back to regular behavior instead of free spin.

Probably not gonna be seen but you should play either the Challenger 2 oes with era,a top .50 cal,and extra composite on the lower front plate or the tech tree challenger 3 with a l55 and stock sabot.

The 999GE lootcrates actually are pretty good I got like 3 weeks of premium, 3M SL, and 2 Premiums (a P-47 at 4.3 and a Havoc Mk II at 2.0)

If you need a new mouse the G502 lightspeed wireless is fantastic, I have one and you can lock the scroll wheel to increments for MMB clicking. I think my MMB max scroll wheel are the same controls as yours Odd, seeing as I essentially copied you and it’s very easy to play well with it. Hope this helps you :)

yknow odd, if you want a good mouse without the infinite scroll wheel, razer sells one, the basilisk ultimate is basically the better version of the lightspeed

well I personally love the infinite Mouse wheel on Logitech Mice. It´s just a nice thing to have because it makes it possible to quickly reset the target distance or th thrust. Of course you stilll need to put it back into clicky mode which even I forget sometimes. Even though I use it daily.

@OddBawZ I have the Logitech G Pro X Superlight and do not have any problem with my mousewheel. It is not too light. It feels soft and defined. Which means that it will not function when you just "touch" it

Any tips on how to snipe in Warthhunder at lower to mid BR. Im trying to reach early positions quickly, even close too thier spawn but i just cant find anyone consistently.

I start getting really bored becuase nothing literally haopens until i deceide to move closer an get killed by the random base camper with bushes on his tank.

all the uptier matches have seen a big uptick of rushing to spawncamp. probably due to the event grind.

Merry Christmas Oddbawz

For mouse you should get a Razer Basilisk V3, theres a button that lets you swap between a free scroll and an incremental. Its been amazing for quick ranging in experience.

if youre unsure about getting a logitech for the free scroll wheel thing then you can get the Razer deathadder V3 (or the Dav3 as the community calls it) instead you can use it plugged in or wireless if you prefer and its a normal scroll wheel too i can say this from experience since i tried both of the brands but still things like this also depend on what mouse shape is comfortable for you

about the Logitech scroll wheel issue, do you perhaps not have the button directly behind the mouse wheel pressed? That should give it a bit more resistance and also avoid the annoying unintentional scroll back.

The logitech pro x superlight is awesome. No infinite scroll and the weight is just insanely low which is very nice for long gaming sessions.

The problem came along with volumetric is that, when your round hits the armour. It compare which number is greater, the effective of armour and the shell of penetrates over the distance. The problem after the upgrade of volumetric is War Thunder make the rounds a little bigger, so that when the round hit. It wouldn’t hit the gap between armour plates. Before volumetric, if your round hit the gap, it will penetrate no matter how thick the armour. So how war thunder fix this? It changed the equation when your shell hit the gaps between armour plates. Instead of average the number between different plates, it made an addition between the armour plates you hit. That’s why the glass of drivers port, the gap of turret rings, thin side shirt of a Panther . They won’t penetrate sometimes. Because the round hit plates and they added all up. The worst case scenario when your round hit a round turret vehicle between the gap of 4 armour plates. It wouldn’t be possible to be penetrated. Because according to the equation the effectiveness of the armour would be over 1000mm. That’s no way it would penetrate, even that is a WW2 vehicle.

The intro just shows how big Bawz’s heart is. This guy is a genuine nice guy. Everyone like that.
