desu if you want to play planes just play ground forces. Drive a flak truck onto the point and get enough sp for a plane and spawn in it and wreck shit. No markers makes it automatically better than air RB.
>>148198426
There's also this thing called EC
>>148197936
why play wt gf when even light tanks in wot don't die in one hit and if you die to several hits in a heavier tank it means your killer is hilariously op and will be nerfed soon

>>148198539
Sim EC is often boring and RB EC is rarely on.
>>148199169
I think Sim EC is perfectly fine, maybe it's your BR
>>148199224
>>148199169
Also Sim EC has massive gains
and RB anything with markers is cancer and unfun shit
>>148199056
but you get money for the damage that your team deals if you spot for them
just chill out in the bushes, isn't it what the real light tanks did back then in the war :3
>>148199424
Wow, money in a game where you get horribly shit gains to begin with. Pray to god you get the winning team because otherside you're automatically placed in the lower 50 percentile for reward.
You have to be pure shit to not be good in WT and to not get good rewards. You can literally sit in the open in a bunker tank and get max reward.
>>148198661
If I wanted an arcade game I would.
>>148199424
>just chill out in the bushes, isn't it what the real light tanks did back then in the war :3
No, you didn't use tanks to spot tanks in real life. Instead you used a tiny human that could easily blend and spot just as easy with binocs rather than a big metal box that sticks out like a dick in a vagina.
>Yak-9 outruns my twin-engine fighter in level flight
Yeah okay
>>148199804
Don't. Play. Multi-engine planes. You're only asking for pain.
>>148199224
Yeah it's fine when you get a full game but good luck with that.
>>148199963
What about multi-jet engines?
>>148200359
Iplay with half teams and it's fine
>>148200935
It's less bad for jets, but single engines are still preferable.

Working on the KI-102. What am I in for?
>>148201741
Negative velocity spark cannon and no cockpit.
Why is the Pe-8 allowed to be so OP? Its rear turret must be the deadliest 20mm cannon in the entire game.
>>148202389
Do no cockpit planes just go into the virtual cockpit for Sim or can they just not go in at all?
>>148202638
Virtual cockpit.
>>148202638
Sim battles is real cockpit only
>>148202690
If you have a real cockpit you can't use virtual, but if you don't you have to.
>>148202809

Just stop posting, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
>>148203045
You pretty much are a bastardized frontline bomber
does this game have those german vertical guns (schrage musik) which could shot down bombers from below?
>>148203258
Yes, on the Do 217 N-2 and Ki-45 tei
i wonder how usable those are in a game with target markers and not at night
fix the game
>>148203448
If you meant the schräge musik cannons, not particularly, since you can't sneak up on bombers with their 360 degree meme vision in all modes. You can still out-fucking-skill someone who tries to turn on the horizontal against you, though.

As fun as that game can be,
holy shit does it drag on sometimes.
Did they buff bomber armor again?
Nailed a B-17 full of 30 mm HVAP from the side and I didn't even crit him.
Then I unleashed 4 20mms on a Dornier from the rear for a full 2 seconds and I just hit his gear leg...
Only noticed this today.
>>148215463
how does /gsg/ react to those games?
>>148215515
For sure, especially all the little bits that aren't automated, like loading infantry back onto a vehicle after they get shot at.
>>148215559
Never bothered to post there.
What's the recommended order of Hs129 upgrades?
>>148199550
What you need is autistic levels of patience to be really good in this game, be it side climbing or camping in a bush on the border of the map.
Map knowledge and patience is ALL you need to be good at tanks.
For planes you can just pick a boom n zoomer, side climb until you're higher than the enemy and then boom until you catch someone off guard.
For planes, you just need patience and learn how to aim.
>>148215613
>For sure, especially all the little bits that aren't automated, like loading infantry back onto a vehicle after they get shot at.
Well that.

>>148227091
+1 GE
>>148227006
I honestly don't understand exactly what they did.
I do see that they moved a bunch of vehicles into rank V that weren't there before.
>>148227889
As well as having the +/- 1 BR spread for matchmaking, they also have a +/- 1 Rank spread for matchmaking, that they are removing
>>148228035
So this change primarily affects planes.
I cant think of an instance where tanks would be affected/

>>148228582

You are wrong.
>>148228639
The matchmaking is worse and it's more of an RNG shitfest.
why are always the posters with anime avatar retarded ?
>>148222427
I dunno. I think that in Arcade Tanks (eugh) you could perhaps get to spawn in a Monitor Ship for a killstreak award, like you do in bombers. Then you get to dick around in something like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberts-class_monitor
or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erebus-class_monitor

>>148240935
so make a pretty skin, you can't like that shitty-ass gold and blue skin unless you're turkish or something
>>148241587
I don't recall saying I did like it, I just prefer it over the beaten up basic skin, but I'll try to make a skin that doesn't look like complete trash if it pleases you anon

Why Gaijin decided that camouflage foliage isn't allowed to be put on sideplates or on top of the improvised-armor pieces?
Summer giveaway events when?
>>148245727
You cant put it on anything that visually changes on a tank
>>148245727
It'd probably break the engine if the spaced armor got blown away.
>>148245727
Gaijin is too much of a small family company to program the foliage to derender when the armor gets shot off.
>>148245727
The placement for all decorators sucks.
>>148245727
many of them also have massive hitboxes, this required a shitton of fiddling

Does anyone else get the bug where the sound of your guns firing sometimes cuts out (planes)?
It's really annoying.
>>148255707
If I remember right the reasoning is is that it was only used against strategic targets.
Did the Russians drop 5000kg bombs on tanks? Wouldn't surprise me.
>>148255707
Anon are you suggesting there's Russian bias? There can't be, they made silly jokes about Russian bias so it can't be real
I hated this plane at first, but now I got hang of it, I just don't wat to fly anything else.
I love how resposive but stable it is, how easily I casn predict enegry loss, and sound of four Hispanos firing is nothing short of addictive. If it had rocket mounts it would be perfect.

I remember back when we had 20 rank system and MM had people with Mig-9 in what is now like BR 2-3 prop games, Mig-9 jet pilots would try to turn fight people and lose.
>>148258060
one kill I saw (Spitfire guy was on our side) MiG jumped Spit at high speed, Spit just rolled evading all fire and second later MiG was kill.
If the Leopard 1 was a West Germany tank then what was the tank of East Germany?
>>148258060
wish mixed BR battles were allowed outside events.
Even better if RB had lineup/respawn system, so not every battle turns into team deathmatch.Also they could remove playertags, or at least remove "sharing" of playertags among players, so you see only tags YOUR pilot spotted
>>148259363
They are, it's called custom battles and usually you can bring in whatever planes you want.

from 12 km away :3
also ships can virtually ignore almost any tank shells whatsoever... implying tanks can even shoot that far as even 5-6 km
i think they may be against planes though, albeit i bet right now you have way too forgiving damage model when you attack ai ships if people complain that they didn't kill a cruiser with a several hundred kg bomb, for any degree of realism ships should withstand several such 500+km bombs and torpedoes
lol fuck you, go get a real kill

Nice projection, nigel. Sorry I didn't let you spade your very hard to use Spit by acting like a good little pinata and skipped to the end instead.
too bad if you j a tank when your gunner/driver is ded or you are on fire or something the kill will be given to that guy who shot you -_-
>>148272723
Grouch , you wanna squad up?
>>148273525
>-_-

>>148272723
What is even the point of J-ing out before an enemy can land hits on you?

I'm not grouch anon there's more than one Fw-200 in the world
>>148273968
Denying them the satisfaction and rewards of a kill, and hopefully making them mad. For best results let them follow you for a while and then J out just before they get in range.

I really don't care, anon. If you don't like it try going after planes that actually require skill to bring down.
So tell me again why we dont get the 20mm and 4 13mms?
