If you're having trouble with the Ki-84 Ko you're flying it wrong, it is definitely one of the strongest planes at its BR.

Seriously? The Hayate is incredibly strong, arguably better than both the Typhoon 1B/L and Yak-3. The thing is the nip equivalent to the P-51 and should be sitting at 5.0. (with the following versions at 5.3 and 5.(But fat chance Gaijin would ever fucking fix their matchmaker)

You're joking right? Thinly armored because the Germans figured everyone would be firing HEAT anyway.

I'm not joking, anon. I legitimately don't know, so I'm asking.
>>97723083
It was a cheap tank, it was in real life, what soviet tank destroyers are in this game.
>>97723416
Oh, I was imagining it more as a walker bulldog type of thing.
>>97723756
it is a "walker bulldog type of thing"
negligible armor, powerful gun, fast.
Why are Spitfires literally the most hated planes?
>>97724076
Undertiered fotm shit
>>97724076
They can climb to space faster/better than anything else and outturn everything but zeroes and ki-43 (not that it matters since they can just outspeed and outclimb those).
Literally handholding tier.
>>97724076
Absurd climb, dive, and turn. If a Spit fucks up in a maneuver, it can't be punished as easily as if a BnZ or Energy fighter starts getting into a turn fight.
>>97724076
They have the retarded ability to pull energy out of no where and twin nuclear bomb launchers
and the high tier ones are undertiered as fuck
>>97713528
>Ki-10 UFO since years

Very very few of the things it faces are actually at a disadvantage
Even more important is that there are people who are retarded enough to let you come in from directly behind instead of maneuvering away

I'm talking about the past, the guy I replied to somehow believed that there never was Japanese bias in this game. The N1K2 was clubbing for a very long time at 5.7 with an absurd FM.

It's fun because it can pop germans in a single shot and if they somehow survive it, you can reverse like a madman into hard cover to try it again later.
It may have a high top speed but its acceleration isn't that good, its still a good tank to dick around.

Never, you can thank Gaijin and the cocksuckers that thought this system would benefit them.
>>97734096
No one cares about this shitty aircraft but faggots.
the 100mm gun was chosen for the tank destroyer role by the soviets, because it had better penetration than the 122mm.
So why does it have less penetration in warthunder?
Actually can anyone tell me why soviet tank destroyers are terrible after the SU-122 compared to their BR?

>>97734709
upgrades are historical ))
>>97734709
Does it get significantly better? Because I pretty much gave up on it since it was so shitty and takes so long to research modules.
>>97734989
Its okay, germans will rape your face if you end up being the plane with the lowest BR in your team, and B17s will expect you to defend them.Burger T-4 is suffering because of the bomberbabbies, you might as well bought the beercan and get kills to cancer your way into jets or whatever the fuck you want to fly.
>>97734989
I dunno m8, you're gonna have to ask someone who has it aced, but I'm guessing it does, like most fighters.
>>97734989
Its average. If you're good, you can make it work. You really depend on your energy retention more than anything else and speeding away with your extra energy. You wont outspeed some planes in a straight line unless you came from a dive, or at least that was my experience.
>>97734989
>>97735440
Forgot to add. Radiator and Engine Injection dont seem to change anything on the plane performance.
I had a friend flying a stock P51 and I flown mine, which had up to T2 upgrades. He overheated and cooled down at the same speed and the same temps as me. Cant say for sure about Engine Injection, but it doesnt look like it modifies anything.
>>97734709
Yeah, the B7A2 surprised me as well. You need to climb while running away at high speeds.
>>97735792
I think you mean compressor, not engine injection, the injection upgrade is in T4, not T2.
>>97734989
As a Jap, P-51s are one of the things I've learned to respect and not udnerestimate. I've not flown them personally, though.
>>97734989
You can almost all planes on Military power with the radiator closed.
WEP on low altitude is a major boost which brings you almost on Tempest levels of speed and a solid climbrate.
Just put your nose down into a shallow dive and nobody will catch you, just remember to never pull full elevator or you throw away all your precious energy.
>>97736092
Performed the Radiator test with only T2 upgrades. Later I reached T4 upgrades and the first thing I researched was the Engine Injection. No apparent difference in performance. Sorry if the way I wrote that looks confusing.
This was back on the 1.47, dunno if something changed since then.

How to make the most use out of Gold Wagers?
>>97737113

>>97736549
Using wep with a closed radiator in real life would burn your engine in about 2min....
>>97737090
That's what you get for instaling cloaking devices on planes other than spitfires.
>>97737131
No, depends on the plane and what their WEP setting is.
Mustang can run on 67" for a pretty long time, the radiator is very efficient even when closed.
>>97737184
Beaufighter runs on pure air.
There are no engines.
The acceleration on the XP-55 is fucking insane.
>>97737528
Whoops, I mean the XP-50.
How do I kill hulldown Pershings and T32s
>>97737859

>Squad'd up with a buddy in our A6M5s over Saipan
>Ofw as we watched a prem190 hesitated and had a minor freak out as he dove into some lawn mowing Shitfires and a B25; not sure who to actually go for.
Immediately after he gets shot down by one of the spitfires as he ended up trying to turn fight.
We sometimes have those moments I guess, But hey, I shot down two spitfires and a B25!
Still learning on editing and making proper webms but how is this?

>>97739961

>>97739961

So has anyone noticed that sometimes if you set a plane on fire they just explode?
Like, not burn down but detonate as if they had a bomb rack that was hit. Somehow I don't think that;s how it works.
How do I fight Ki-200s in a meteor, especially if they have an energy advantage due to me joining the game 5 minutes into it?

Play arcade until you are confident you know where to aim without aim assist. Then watch some videos about the basics of dogfighting on youtube and play realistic.
>>97741891
if you haven't invested much time in the game, my only advice is to leave. delete the game.
the grind isn't worth it, and the game is on death's door anyways.
>>97741994
>people think this game is dying
why
>>97741694

>>97741891
Get a feel for flying and aiming in edacra.
Then just learn planes.
Tactics are mostly dependant on knowing what you can do in plane A vs plane B.
Read Falcon 4.0 manual and watch some videos.

Why do they still call this an "open beta?" It's been around for anyone to play for almost two years now. That's not how it works.

>stay high, avoid the combat if you're not sure about it, look at a lone enemy who's shooting at your m8s and dive on him
That's what I already do, which results in nokills because the target dives and if I followed I'd become a target myself.
When you're on someone's six, do you aim for a specific part or just blast away? Sometimes I feel my mgs are useless from behind

Blast the wings.

I recently started with SB so I just try to hit them.

When you get cannons, you won't need to worry about silly things like "aiming".
>tfw you do a sweet bombing run in your heavy bomber but you realize the only airstripe of the map is too short and will crash you into the sea if you try to land on it
Looking at you, Krymsk.
>>97744407
If I have machine guns I try to go for the wings or the tail
If I have cannons I just spray because I know something gonna get all fucked up no matter where I hit. If you don't cut a wing ar destroy an elevator you'll hit the fuselage fuel tanks or the engine
In deflection shots I always try to aim for the wings tho

The pilot when they try maneuring. Otherwise just hit it wherever it lands to inflict some damage and lower their maneurability, if they're not dead by then, I go for wings.
