The first competitive plane US has.

the f8f-1b
>>144599856
See the OP.
Really, though, it's a pretty good plane, especially after the other shit in the navy line. Just remember to stay fast and stick with the one or two other fighters there are on your team.

>In February 1944, the Soviet government sent a highly experienced test pilot, Andrey G. Kochetkov, and an aviation engineer, Fyodor P. Suprun, to the Bell factories to participate in the development of the first production variant, the P-63A. Initially ignored by Bell engineers, Kochetkov's expert testing of the machine's spin characteristics (which led to airframe buckling) eventually led to a significant Soviet role in the development. After flat spin recovery proved impossible, and upon Kochetkov's making a final recommendation that pilots should bail out upon entering such a spin, he received a commendation from the Irving Parachute Company. The Kingcobra’s maximum aft CG was moved forward to facilitate recovery from spins.

Same as the mustangs. Thunderbolt is great, it just doesn't fit the meta, and after bombs got nerfed into the ground it's not good in GF either.
>>144603761
I'm alright at them. Can't really say for the rest of my team.

I hope people are aware that the bomb chart in the OP hasnt been updated in forever.
For example the brownings are no longer able to destroy light pillboxes.
>>144609174

Don't. You'll spend your first 200 games getting spanked mercilessly by MiG-15bis/-17s and Hunters and once you're spaded you'll be only barely competetive.

Here you go, senpai.
>>144609254
First match in it I got swarmed by 2 MiG-17s and a 15 while the rest of my team was flying low-level near the enemy's airfield. Held off for at least two minutes but no help came. We only had one BR 9 plane and the enemy team was almost nothing but. I'm assuming this is what I can expect from any future jet matches?
>>144610343
Yep. I did try to warn you.
>>144610252
So do I have to hit the window or something?
I've tried being as close as I can and as low as I can what am I doing wrong, Or was I shooting a normal pillboxes I'm not sure anymore.
>>144610515
People say hitting the window helps, but I'm not sure about that, just don't shoot at angled bits.
>>144610608
>>144610515

>>144617238
I mean I can sort of reliably take off in the Sea Venom. But every time I tried with the F9F I had to switch to SB controls because with RB settings the instructor wouldn't let me pull up enough to get lift
I don't dare attempting carrier takeoff with the Attacker. Given that it's a tail-dragging plane it already starts with higher AoA, but its acceleration is horrible

>>144617410
Which one is that? The one with Mg 151s that is overtiered as shit? Or the one with puny 7.7s that do about 0 damage?
>>144617562
The slight drop in altitude is actually characteristic of naval jets during Korean War. You're not really expected to fly, rather you're just delaying the sink rate until you're fast enough.
>>144617515
this happens even when you're playing offline
>>144617657
it's the "new" one that is as maneuverable as a bomber, has 1100HP engine, and less ammo than the mg151 variant even though it only has jap 20mm instead.
>>144617628

I stopped playing WT for a month or so, came back yesterday. Did they remove the "+Ground Unit Destroyed" and other markers permanently or you can toggle them?
I see why they removed them, felt kinda arcadish, but having that extra info on screen helped keeping track of enemy tanks that with the kill assist and such.also could feel a little adrenaline rush after every enemy destroyed pop up sign

you cant be ammo racked if you open a hatch, futhermore shooting an AP round directly into ammo isnt going to necessarily set it off.

Also shitty depression
>>144622848
>WT's bullshit DM
you mean where tanks usually die after getting shot?
>>144623180
They don't, though.
It can be anything from one hit kills to ten penetrating hits without them dying.
Usually as a result of huge discrepency between damage potential of ammo types and RNG.
>>144622993
But they are fast

It is not related to being USSR vehicle (there are same videos here for other vehicles, although, of course, not as popular since it is not Russian bias then).

47 mm shells are solid shot, as far as I can tell.
>>144624697
Its far more then 1% but it depends on caliber and the thickness of the sloped plate you are hitting, aswell as the slope itself.
88mm and 20pdr AP bounce quite on 45mm plate of the T-34, and this is because only 90mm+ has a relatively super small chance to bounce on that meme plate.
