What is the boom and zoom you talk about?
Also you guys talked about jetfighting? How does going UP and DOWN help you kill planes? don't you have to follow 'em around?

You fly up high, pick your target, dive down and hit him while keeping your speed. Fly out of range and repeat.

not as effective in arcade and hb but very effective in full real
Very effective with kingcobras, Il-2's, Beaufighters, Bf 109 G6 etc.

you dont need to follow a plane around to kill him, just hit him as you fly by
Anyone know what you have to do to get the A-26? It looks so cool.

I believe it's a promotional plane for buying one of MSI laptops.

I just started using it yesterday in the first BF-109. Its pretty effective in keeping you alive, but you need heavy armaments to get the kill since you're not gonna have much firing time.
I did see someone pulling it off in an FW-190 very very well though, so I imagine the higher rank plane you have, the better the results.
arcade mode would be infinitely better if it didn't let you use that cockpit-less view.
reward for contributing the most to the objective?

I love using the Typhoon as a high energy fighter.

Wish they would implement bonuses specifically for bombers (and attackers?). Almost every single American fighter is a better bomber than a bomber.

Because they're fighter bombers? Shouldnt you really be blaming the nation your playing then complaining about another nations advantage. Besides, isnt there a bomber bonus in terms of exp for destroying the most ground target like the most assists, kills, ect.

Its 2000xp, same as fighter, hardly comparable to someone who doesn't contribute to the objective and whores air kills all game

Even playing as an American bomber, most fighters are better equipped for the task at hand. What I'm saying is that there should be some sort of incentive to play a heavy bomber, rather than a fighter bomber, especially in ground strike maps.
There is indeed the Bomber bonus for most ground target kills, but that applies to any plane, including fighters that perform better than actual bombers. Why not a bonus for someone who actually chooses to play that objective-centric role as a bomber?
Well hello there.

Yep. All the vehicles in the game are incredibly detailed and it's easy to see that they're prepared to be SEEN once the tanks and ships are added.

At first I figured they would be just low detailed blocks, but on my very first bombing run I saw otherwise.
Oh and speaking of bombing runs, the Hellcat is pretty good at it for being a fighter. Lots of ordinance to destroy tank convoys with.

Americans used fighter bombers quite a lot and they're in the game. Though I do think there should be even more harder targets for bigger bombs for bombers to go after like factorys, bunkers and whatnot, but in most cases I'm sure all bombers can just go the carriers(If its a naval map) seeing you need a big bomb for that and it grants lots of exp. Before the eco patch bombing granted lots of money, though with the nerfs it hasn't done much...they say its meant to be fixed next patch.

Like how they go in detail with the addons, they even have the M4 with the hedge trimmer thingy after they got off of the D-day beaches.

I hope the damage for tanks is detailed. Wouldn't want a Tiger II getting taken down by a shot from a frontal shot from a Sherman that would normally bounce.

Shermans did have the chance to pen the King Tiger from the front though, Sherman Firefly did anyway :v

The fighting gets so low sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if you could take out a plane with the main gun of a tank.

My issue with is while the bonus is all well and good, the in game point values are all messed up. In arcade, a good bomber should expect 15+ kills (perhaps a lot more), and a good fighter should expect 5+, but getting 5 air kills is worth a staggering amount more than 15 ground kills.

The Firefly will probably end up being a British premium tank if it's even used in the game. It would be amusing to see someone in a Tiger getting destroyed (or mostly damaged beyond repair) to see the kill camera to be a Sherman.
I also wonder how repair will be. Will it be the same as the air guys with just making it to a certain area and waiting a set amount of time? Or will there be none at all and something along the lines of WoT with track repair?
Perhaps have engineering vehicles around or a motor pool you can go to?
We can probabley judge the vehicles that'll get in using the planes, alot of them seem to anything that made it off the drawing board to some degree so we can expect the E-100 and Maus, we can also use the timeframe the planes stop at which is around Korea I think so T-54s, IS-4s, Centurions and early Pattons.
Maybe players can choose to play as an engineering vehicle that stays behind the line and helps repair tanks. It could work.
