Besides the fact that a couple of them are slightly undertiered, there is nothing wrong with Yaks. Stop whining.
How do I kill a 190 in a Tempest? The later ones.
>>123407456
The Hunter has the lowest wing loading of all of the swept wing jets and has the worst turning ability, don't bother using that logic.
>>123407902
Just wait around at low altitude for them.
>>123407987
It's actually the highest wingloading jet in the game.

At full fuel the MiG-15 and F-86F both have a longer wingloading than a Hunter.

Mad at godly 37mm
>people don't use tactical combat flaps
>>123407987
It has similar instant turn rate as other jets, however it has poor low speed sustained turn rate. Without the afterburner, you're very limited to a few seconds before having to relax or go below best performance speed.
Really is up to you whether you think it's worth having to regain 900 km/h when other jets can easily get by at 400-500 km/h. It's a generation gap.

>>123412883

>>123413292
On an unrelated note, I bought a talisman months and months ago for the Sea Meteor but never got gud with it, is there any point in trying now that every game is nothing but F86/CL-13/Mig-15 spam because of BR compression?
Sea Meteor is barely above stock, can't catch these things even after diving on them with a 2km altitude advantage, they just point their nose vertical and climb.
night missions are best
>>123413791

>>123415327
I wanted to make a mission that had historically accurate placement of german flak-batteries and "flak-traps" in year 1944 north-west germany
what you see firing at the bomber formation are:
Flak 36's
FlaK 38 vierlings
and FlaK 18's
vierlings had ridiculous high rate of fire, but whoever made the mod for this game forgot to adjust the firerate and burst lengths, so they'll just fire their entire magazines in one 6-second burst.
The game engine is at it's limits with with all these air and ground units within 30km of each other. The game kept crashing during this mission and also did at the end of the video the webm was converted from.
>>123414668
how is it?
>>123416397
Kinda bad 2bh.
The bias is unbelievable.
T-34s are effectively undedable but can kill Pz IIIs from the front with HE.
Everything is very clunky.

If they are going for realism and you're looking for balance, you're looking in the wrong direction. Reality wasn't balanced.
>>123411540
Haha, no son. Gets fucked by anything but the worst burgers.
>>123413976

I just hate how I'm working my ass off getting 2 kills and then I die because I'm juggling 2 people and I see my teammates in a bomber and lawn-mowing with fighters.
I want the goddamn win.
>>123419941
Can a 76 HE round can kill a Pz III?
A 122 possibly and a 152 for sure, but a 76mm HE shell?
>>123429298
You only win if you get kills without getting shot down and you only lose if you get shot down
Do yourself a favor and land, repair, then J out to leave the match if possible
>>123429528
What are you even talking about? So I should get kills then leave so I don't have to worry about the repair cost?
I want the RP bonus from winning most of all.
>>123429676
yes
trust me on this you grind much quicker this way
>>123429676
repair cost isn't even relevant
>>123429298
get a wingman
>>123430160
This pretty much.
>>123429327
Depends on model and where it hits. It can.
It's just not as effective as 76mm AP, you're not guaranteed to do anything other than rattle the crew inside. It's still a lot of kinetic energy and can cause serious spalling.
>>123430691
Of course. Spalling. I totally forgot about that.
>>123431209
It comes down to armor thickness, attacking something like a Tiger with 76mm HE is just gonna make it angry, but the panzer III depending on model and direction of attack doesn't have much armor so even lower caliber HE can cause serious problems.
>>123430160
IT HAPPENED AGAIN
Got 2 kills and WEPed my engine to death doing it, also got shot in the engine. It died and I drowned.
Rest of my team has done nothing and will most likely die.
>>123431771
Welcome to War Thunder
>>123431771

>>123432098
Tempest Mk. V
Anyone ever gone exploring on the US test flight map? There are a ton of little airfields all over the map, this one is pretty far north between the two mountain ranges.
>>123432558
This is main street of a small town along the coast.
>>123432741

>>123432741

>lawnmowing americans

I feel your pain. There's no hope for the allies unless you're flying some broken shit.
I dont bother to play them unless I have a wingman because I get defeat after defeat. I dont even know how they manage to lose sometimes.
>>123433092
The level of detail is surprisingly good, nearly enough to be a GF map.
>>123433283
Speaking of GF maps, instead of making bullshit MOBA lanes they could make actually realistic chokepoints like this mountain road through a valley.
>>123432163
I was going to tell you to take it easy on the WEP, but there is no escaping it in a Tempest, is there?
How banned can I get for teamkilling?
I killed some cunt who killed a bomber I lit on fire.
>>123433468

You are still a retard for team killing like that. You lost more silver lions for the team kill than you would have gotten from the bomber kill.

Supposedly they've fixed the biggest problems it had and now its playable. Read somewhere that the 109 and the La-5 were slightly overperforming, but dunno when that was.
Asked about this game not too long ago, some anon claimed that it has netcode issues (teleporting) so the MP can be a nightmare, depending on your ping. I belive there's only 2 servers which are alive, probably both of them russian.

Never.
SB is on life support.
Maybe if they'd shown some interest in increasing the quality of SB, they would have got the sim audience and it wouldn't have died.

Armour is a few mm worse effective, but Locust has none anyway.
Penetration is slightly better on the Tetrarch. Way better if it has an LJ adaptor.
