[QUOTE=C0MMUNIZT;39882825]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.[/QUOTE]
Don't think they'll use drawing board designs. Afaik there are none in the aircraft part so far. Though correct me if I'm wrong, I dont know german or japanese designs that well. There are prototypes though but they're rather meh. I dont think they'll add the Maus and I dont think anyone would want to drive it because it will be a juicy target for aircraft. Though would be interesting if they add in the Ratte..
You don't realise how good the tank modelling actually is because you never get close enough, but that is quite impressive. This game will be ridiculously amazing once you can play ground and naval units too. I'm guessing there will be AA tanks like the Wirbelwind and Ostwind?
This one time I made my team win by killing all the enemy planes; I got like 14 air kills after being last planes of our team with this one other bomber.
Completely filled up the F2A-3 Buffalo's XP bar yesterday. I'm approaching level10 with the Americans, but the Buffalo is still in my line up. I love that thing, it's so easy to harass and humiliate high tier aircraft with it.
I've given up on the German line completely, started on the Russian line. It's not even funny how broken the I-153's are.

HURRY UP AND GET BETTER german planes
I think the naval/tank players will really hate being shat on by the planes. Maybe that's why bombers are so pathetic?

I use the Russian tree to support my other nations.
I'm wondering how they're going to balance the tanks and ships against the planes. I'm assuming for starters the tanks and such won't be visible to the planes all the time and they'll get camo netting and the like to help hide them.

Awesome. Still can't wait for the P-61, but the B-25 will definitely help hold me over. It's my favorite bomber of all time.

my favorite fighter-bomber-interceptor-thing is the ME-410, and its absolutely heart breaking to see how it performs in this game.

These planes have their FM changed in 1.29, so it might be a bit more "historically accurate":
La-5, La-7, Wirraway, Tempest, TBF-1c, SM.79, Me.410, Ki-49, Ju-87B, Ju-87D, Ju-87G, F1M2, D3A1, Boomerang, Beufighter, Me.262, Me.163

I want both of those, but the number one plane I want in this game is the F-82.
Also, are the German planes really that bad? I'm level 6, and while my BF-109's wings seems to be sheared off by a light rain, everything else seems fairly decent.

they're not really bad, its just everything else is better. Theres no real point in playing them.
It definitely looks like they are ramping up the naval stuff. The ships seem to be getting more and more active during battles with each update.

Still takes the money from my account though
No changes to Yaks or LaGGs. Sadface.
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;39891091]No changes to Yaks or LaGGs. Sadface.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully the changes to the DM might have something?
Also, looking forward to when they're putting in the Ju 88P variants (Ju 88 ground attackers with huge cannons). Guess I'll have to do with the night fighter variant of the Do 217 for now.
Yeah, hopefully more bits to hit=fewer russians shrugging off 10-second bursts.
So I'm a level 7 German player, and I just ended up in a match with 4 jet players on the other team, whereas our team was entirely below level 10. Does anyone have any sort of explanation how this happened?
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;39892051]Yeah, hopefully more bits to hit=fewer russians shrugging off 10-second bursts.[/QUOTE]
Or fewer jap bombers taking 5 seconds of quad 20mm cannons to the butt
I know those things are big but really?
Not even any crit damage

there is no matchmaker or it does a piss poor job. Biplanes facing jets has been an issue for a long time now
Having 4 jets in a game seems more like 4 guys squadding up on purpose to stomp lower level players.

Well, there isn't really anything back there besides the rudder/elevator and the assload of gunners.
Except for the G4M1. If you get shot in the ass there, you light up; hence the name [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_G4M]"The Flying Zippo"[/url].

Alright, that's fine with me. I thought for a second that going from level 6 to 7 suddenly unleashed the floodgates for an unspecified reason.
[QUOTE=lilguy;39892641]Having 4 jets in a game seems more like 4 guys squadding up on purpose to stomp lower level players.[/QUOTE]
Seems plausible to me, although I don't think they had any kind of control on what game they ended up in so I don't think that's entirely true.
